A
James and Jennifer Stolpa were driving from Nevada to Idaho with their little son, Clayton. He
was only five months old. It was a long drive –over 22 hours – but James and Jennifer were not worried. The United States is a very large country and, like many Americans, they often made long journeys.
Soon after they left home it began to snow. The snow was soon so strong that it became a blizzard (暴风雪). The blizzard went on for many hours. By the time it was over, there was more than three meters of snow on the road and it was dangerous to drive. They looked around for a house to stay in until the blizzard stopped, but they could see nothing. They looked for another road to take, but there wasn’t one. They had to stay where they were. They stayed where they were for five days. They had very little to eat or drink. They ate some cookies they had in the car, and they ate snow for water. Jennifer was able to feed her baby herself.
After five days, they knew they could not stay in their car any longer. James made a large hole in the snow for Jennifer and the baby to stay in, and he started the long walk to get help. In 22 hours he walked over 45 kilometers. At last he reached the town of Vya. James was very tired and could only just speak, but he was able to tell people in the town where Jennifer and his son were. People in the town set off to rescue Jennifer and her baby. When they found them, the baby was crying loudly. They took them to hospital, where the doctors looked after them.
46. What is the story about?
A. It’s about blizzards that happen in Japan.
B. It’s about a family who were caught in a frightening blizzard.
C. It’s about things people do in the rain.
D. It’s about a girl who found a family in a blizzard.
47. The blizzard ___________.

B. helped them see everything
C. gave people much pleasure
D. stopped the Stolpas driving

A. they could not stay in the car

D. would not like to leave there
B
“Put off” has many different meanings. Here are some examples. Firstly, to “put something off”means to delay something and move it to a later date, especially because there is a problem or difficulty. For example, they have decided to put off their wedding until late in the year because of a death in the family.
Secondly, to “put somebody off”means to make excuses to someone in order to avoid doing something until later. For example, we put them off with a promise to pay them next week. And if someone says to you “you can’t keep putting it off”, this means that you are trying to delay doing something until later because you do not want to do it now.
To cause someone to dislike someone else or something is another meaning of “put off”. For example, his bad manners put me right off (him).
To “put somebody off doing something” means to discourage them or make it difficult for them to do something by preventing them from thinking clearly about what they are doing. For example, the photographers put John McEuroe off giving his speech.
And finally, to “put somebody off” means to allow someone to leave a vehicle (车辆), as in the example, I’ll put you off at the next corner.
49. How many meanings of the phrase “put off” does the passage give?
A. Thirteen.
B. Fifteen.
C. Five.
D. Eight.
50. Nothing would put her off once she had made up her mind. In this sentence “put sb. off” has the meaning given in Paragraph ___________.
A. 6
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
51. This article is probably taken from ___________.
A. an Chinese history book
B. an American film
C. a book on English idioms
D. a play about interesting stories
52. The underlined phrase “bad manners” in Paragraph 3 means being ___________.
A. polite
B. important
C. impolite
D. possible
C
This year, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).
Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and bid (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling made simple: if you plan to sell online, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big things in life: It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of online bids and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
53. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to make a computer game.
B. Ways of making money online.
C. Advantages of using computers.
D. How to use an online-auction system.
54. After bidding for an item, a buyer ___________.
A. will get what he wants at any time
B. shouldn’t buy at all
C. has chances to make higher bids
D. will keep quiet
55. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ___________.
A. through an online payment system
B. through a big local shop
C. by sending the money to the buyers
D. by paying anybody directly

六、One possible version
The teachers and the students at our school have had a discussion about common health problems suffered by middle school students.
Both the teachers and the students think that middle school students have so much homework to do that they have little time for sleep, and even less time to take proper exercise. A lot of students have to get up at 5 or 6 to study, and don’t go to bed until 10:30 at night. They have no time for their hobbies, or play with their friends. Everyone agrees that schools should reduce the workload of their students so that students will have more time to relax and take part in sporting activities.
We believe that this is an important matter that should be brought to the attention of society as a whole. Maybe students will be given some free time to enjoy their youth.
