A
People have sailed the world in quite small boats. It is not an easy things to do. Sometimes the weather gets bad. That can be the end of everyone in it. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident with some big fish. The fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in, of course, and the boat soon sank. However, these people had another smaller boat-a life-boat, and they all got into it. They lived and hoped for many days. They ate and slept, and they always hoped at last a ship found them.
How do people live in a very small life-boat? Perhaps for weeks or months? They must be strong in every way. They must have hope—they must want to live. But you cannot eat and drink hope.
You cannot drink sea water. If you drink a lot of sea water, you will quickly die. Sailors can drink rain water. They must catch rain water in their boat. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Life-boats do not often carry a cooker, so the sailors cannot cook their food. Raw fish and bird-meat is not very nice. But in a life-boat the sailors must eat raw food, or they will die.

“Fire! Fire!”What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the
middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and steeped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.
I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I want in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.
She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.

C. was not completely awake
D. Both A and C
49.He put the bundle over his face and ran in order to ______.
A. save the baby
B. call for help
C. protect his face
D. run quickly
50. Form which group of words, we can learn the fire took place out of people’s surprise?
A. old and wooden house, a bundle
B. crashed to, fell down
C. terrible, half-awake
D. bare feet, a borrowed man’s coat
C
Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces (产生) some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays（光线）left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see form it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some
cases（在某种情况下）the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “ The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “ The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”
51. Light speed is ________ than sound speed.
A. millions times faster
B. a million times slower
C. about millions of times faster
D. about a million times faster
52.If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that _____.
A.you can hear the gun before you see the smoke.
B.sound does not travel as fast as light.
C.the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun.
D.sound travels about a million times faster than light.
53.Sunlight clearly _____ than the light of the moon.
A.has to travel a greater distance
B.moves less quickly
C.travels much more quickly
D.is less powerful
54.What does “ it” refer to?
A. moon light
B. light rays
C. the nearest star
D. the moon
55.The scientific way of saying “ The stars are shining tonight” should be________.
A.the stars have been shining all the time.
B.the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later.
C.the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight.
D.the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago.

阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken
to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned
to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

第二节任务型写作（满分25分）
One Possible Version:
It is important to say “Thank you”.
In this passage, the writer mainly tells us two of his experiences of being helped by strangers. After he wrote them thank-you notes, he realized that saying “thank you” to others meant so much.
I have a similar experience. Once when I was about to go home after school, it was raining so heavily that I had to wait for the rain to stop. But after half an hour it was still raining. Seeing this,
the guard at the gate offered to lend me his umbrella. I accepted at once. Thanks to his help, I got home on time without getting wet. The next morning, when I returned the umbrella to the guard, I said thank you to him and left him a note expressing my gratitude sincerely. To my surprise, he said
no one had ever written him to say thank you, and it meant a lot to him.
So in my opinion, saying thank you to others is not only easy but also meaningful to the person who says it and the receiver!。
