AI still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expectingsomeone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the clas s, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.After t hat, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper. “He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.51．The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “ ”.A. How old are you?B. Where are you from?C. Do you want to join my gang?D. When did you come back to London? 52．We can learn from the passage that .A. boys were usually unfriendly to new studentsB. the writer was not greeted as he expectedC. Brian praised the writer for his clevernessD. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper53．The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in p aragraph 3 means that the writer was not .A. noticeableB. welcomeC. importantD. foolish 54．The writer was offered a handkerchief because .A. he threw himself down and saved the goalB. he pushed a player on the other teamC. he was beginning to be acceptedD. he was no longer a newcomerBLadies and Gentlemen, some strange, wild and wonderful stories colored the news in 2010, you may like them.★A Copenhagen bus company has put "love seats" on 103 of its buses for people looking for a partner. "Even love at first sight is possible on the bus," said a spokesman for the company to explain the two seats on each bus that are covered in red cloth and a "love seat" sign.★Shoppers at an international luxury fair in Italy, found a cell-phone-equipped golden coffin among the items on display. The phones will help "the dead" contact relatives if they have been buried alive by mistake.★A man in New York came up with a disarming（手无寸铁的）way to perform his latest bank heist , approaching the clerk’s window with a large bunch of flowers and handing over a note saying “give me the money!”★ An Englishman who lost all his legs and arms in an electrical accident successfully swam across the Channel, a challenge he had been preparing for two years.

The e-schoolbag will free you from the weight.It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools soon. An experiment with several hundred e-schoolbags will begin in seven cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang. And the e-schoolbags are going to cover all over China if the experiment shows to be successful. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-notebook. It is a small hand-held computers for school students.Heavy schoolbags have long been a serious problem for school students. The average schoolbag of middle school students weighs up to 5 kilos. But the e-schoolbag will change everything. It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag, weighing under 1 kilo.Also, it is no bigger than a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, a notebook and exercise book. They could be made into chips that are as small as a stamp.The students can read the text page by page on the screen. They can still take notes using a special electronic pen. If they want to know the meaning or the pronunciation of a new word, or even e-mail their teachers, it’s just a press of a button.In some foreign countries, it is becoming common. But it is hard to tell when people will receive this new form of study. Some say that e-textbooks can easily be broken, some say that it is not good to students’ eyesight to look at the screen for long. But only time will tell.59．The e-schoolbag has many functions EXCEPT _______.A. It can pronounce the words.B. It can send e-mails.C. It can be used as a dictionary.D.

Please Change Your SchoolbagC. A New Invention, A New SchoolbagD. ChipsD“If you talk to the plants, they will grow faster and the effect is even better if you’re a woman.” Researchers at Royal Horticultural Society carried out an experiment to find that the voice of a woman gardener makes plants grow faster.The experiment lasted a month and by the end of the study scientists managed to discover that tomato plants grew up two inches taller when women gardeners talked to them instead of male.Sarah Darwin was the one making the plants registered the best growth. Her voice was the most “inspiring” for plants than those of nine other gardeners when reading a passage from The Origin of Species. The great-great-granddaughter of the famous botanist Charles Darwin found that her plant grew about two inches taller than the plant of the best male gardener.Colin Crosbie, Garden Superintendent at RHS, said that the finding cannot yet be explained. He assumes that women have a greater range of pitch and tone which might have a certain effect on the sound waves that reach the plant. “Sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light ,”said Mr Grosbie.The study began in April at RHS Garden Wisley in Survey. Scientists started with open auditions(听力) for the people who were asked to record passages from John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer's Night Dream and Darwin's The Origin of Species.Afterwards researchers selected a number of different voices and played them to 10 tomato plants during a period of a month. Each plant had headphones connected to it. Through the headphones the sound waves could hit the plants. It was discovered that plants that “listened” to female voices on average grew taller by an inch in comparison to plants that heard male voices.Miss Darwin said, “I think it is an honor to have a voice that can make tomatoes grow, and especially fitting because for a number of years I have been studying wild tomatoes from the Galapagos Island at the Natural History Museum in L ondon.”63．What does the passage talk about?A. Plants enjoy men’s voices than women’s.B. A botanical experiment in a museum.C. Voice’s influence on plant growing.D. Strange phenomenon at Royal Horticultural Society.64．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?A. Plants need sound as well as rain and light.B. Sound is basic for the plant to grow.C. Sound has a good effect as rain or light does.D. Plants can’t live without sound, rain or light.65．Sarah Darwin is most likely a (an)_____.A. botanistB. gardenerC. astronomerD. environmentalist 66．What can we learn from the passage?A. The experiment ended in May.B. Scientist can explain the findings clearly.C. Plants enjoy listening to the passages from masterpieces.D. The findings are of great importance to human beings.EOne day, my friend Jimmy told me a story.
