(A)“Never set foot in this house again!” shouted father. “BANG” the door closed behind me. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But n ow ... I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions on me. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without any aim in my mind. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewerpeople on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to m yself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All t he lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. He has got used to arguing with me. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never said sorry to me. But after an argument he always came into my room secretly and made sure whether I was asleep.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe…With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love is second to none.26. In which order do the following take place?a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. Sadly I ran out into the street.c. I reached the pla ce where I lived and saw my house’s light still on.d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.e. I walked about in the street without any aim.A. b, e, d, c, aB. b, e, c, d, aC. b, e, a, c, dD. b, e, c, a, d27. What made the writer think of his childhood?A. The sight of the street lights.B. The sight of the empty street.C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.D. The sight of light in his own house.28. The underlined word “they” (Paragraph 7) refers to “ ”.A. the lightsB. the people in the streetC. the old stampsD. the son’s opinions29. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.C. Perhaps they don’t like each other.D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.30.

Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous.Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on driving and talking at the same time. It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that whendrivers were talking on their mobile phones, their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much----and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.And talking isn’t even the most serious problem. Texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arr ival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive, if another driver is not being professional or careful, we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish, careless, and should have their driving licenses (驾照) cancelled.There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are extremely useful, especially when you’re in trouble. But there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.31. The underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to .A. phone usersB. mobile phonesC. driversD. cars32. According to the passage, if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone.A. 12B. 13C. 14D. 1533.

Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?A. It will take longer to send text messages.B. People will want to talk on their phones more often.C. There will be more things for people to do with their phones.D. People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.35. According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?A. They should be put into prison.B. Their cars should be taken away.C. Their phones should be taken from them.D. They should not be allowed to drive any longer.(C)Although he died almost 40 years ago, Bruce Lee is still considered the greatest and most influential kung fu performer of the 20th century. His films brought traditional Hong Kong kung fu movies to a new level of popularity, and introduced kung fu to millions of people in the West.Born in the USA in 1940, Lee returned to his native Hong Kong before his first birthday. As a teenager, the hi ghly intelligent boy was accepted into one of Hong Kong’s most famous middleschools but he paid little attention to his studies. He was more interested in sports, especially kung fu, and hanging out with his street-gang friends. In 1959, Lee got into trouble with the police for fighting. His mother, fearing he would end up in prison, sent him to the USA. Two years later, he began studying at a university there.While still a student, Lee opened his own kung fu school, teaching a new fighting style he had developed. What made Lee’s style different was that it used power, strength and, quick-action attacks. It also combined (融合) Japanese, Korean and South American fighting styles with traditional slow-moving Chinese kung fu.Among Lee’s students were several famous actors who, impressed by his good-looks and fighting skill, encouraged him to start acting. Over the next five years Lee achieved some success in America. But his dream of introducing his fighting style into American movies was not accepted by local film makers who thought western audiences were not interested in kung fu.Determined to prove them wrong, Lee returned to Hong Kong in 1970. There he made two films Fists of Fury (1971) and Way of the Dragon (1972), using his kung fu ideas and techniques. The movies were huge hits worldwide, making Lee an international star and symbol of kung fu. These were followed by what is widely considered the greatest kung fu movie of all time, Enter the Dragon (1973). Tragically however, Lee suddenly and mysteriously died while making his next movie Game of Death. He was only 33 years old.36. As a teenager, Lee was very .A. quietB. hard-workingC. braveD. smart37. Why was Lee sent to America?A. His parents wanted him to study at university there.B. He wanted to develop a new American fighting style.C.
