阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads．
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children
living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed．Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school．
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School．The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not agree to provide free transport to the school．But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster．
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part．Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term．
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington．The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children．The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan．
46. What is the aim of the plan?
A. To prevent the students' road accidents．
B. To relieve the traffic pressure．
C. To save time for the parents and students．
D. To help the parents save money．
47. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?
A. By letting the bus run in the morning only．
B. By limiting the number of the students．
C. By obtaining the support from the headmaster．
D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one．
48. The new bus service will be paid for by ______．

D. the local government and the parents
49. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?

B
In Europe, many people make friends between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister-city relationship.
The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the
twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!
Tonbridge, a small town in Kent, for example, has twin towns in both Germany and France. Richmond near London has relationships with Germany, France and even a town in a Balkan(巴尔干半岛的) country!
Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skill, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.
51. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Town Twinning
B. Friendly Towns
C. Exchanging Teachers and Students
D. Peace and Understanding
52. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Twin towns exchange newspapers and stamps.
B. Twin towns exchange business skill.
C. Schools in twin towns exchange classes for a period of time.
D. Ordinary people travel to the twin town.
53. Twin towns develop ____________.
A. between European countries and China
B. in the English-speaking countries only
C. in the same country
D. between different countries
54. How many countries are mentioned in this passage?
A. 7
B. 6.
C. 5
D. 4
55. One of the advantages of town twinning is to ________.
A. earn more money
B. set up schools
C.improve students’ language skills
D. develop industry and agriculture
C
How many times have you gotten upset because someone wasn’t doing their job, because your child isn’t behaving？How many times have you been annoyed when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?
This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us —it’s part of the human experience.
One thing that annoys me is when people talk during a movie. Or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances —don’t we all? And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or annoyed.
Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken.
See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple: expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned, expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.
One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong —
they always do on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”
And this worked like a charm. When we took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Chi ldren’s Castle closed on Mondays … they said, “It’s part of the adventure!” And it was all OK —we didn’t get too bothered.
So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks, someday, you might get upset. But not if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it’ll break someday, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time-traveler, or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And w hen it breaks, you won’t be upset or sad — because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.
56.The author would probably agree that________.
A.we should control our anger and irritation
B.we must get well prepared for the future
C.optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation
D.anger and irritation is an important part of our life
57.The purpose of the author is to ___________.
A.tell us his own experience in life
B.give advice on how to find peace of mind
C.tell us a happy trip took with his children
D.advise us to see things from both sides
58.By the underlined part, the author intends us to _____________.
A.get ready for the worst result of things
B.enjoy the process of things
C.expect little from life
D.find the relation between cause and effect
59.The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because _____________.
A.everything went smoothly
B.they had a lot of adventures
C.they had expected things to go wrong
D.they could soon get used to the customs there
60. We can learn from the passage that the author ____________.
A. often gets angry in his life
B. can adjust his state of mind accordingly
C. always expects others to act in his way
D. has suffered a lot from his anger and irritation
D
When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might be made fun of his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy---- the ears presented only a small problem with its appearance.
But the nervous father continued. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery(整形手术). The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.
The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child. “She doesn't take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.
By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears.
The baby was in a blanket(毛毯) with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mother's arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.
She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”
No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.
The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It's hard to see the ears when you're looking into the light.
61. When the father first saw his baby, he was worried that________.
A. The baby might not grow up healthily.
B. The baby might be laughed at by others.
C. The baby might disappoint its mother.
D. the baby might have mental problems.
62. According to the doctor and nurse, the baby’s ears________.
A. could not function well.
B. looked the same as others.
C. only caused a small problem.
D. needed to have plastic surgery.
63. What is true about the baby’s mother?
A. She blamed her husband for the baby’s big ears.
B. She was the first to discover the baby’s large ears.
C. She suggested having an operation on the baby immediately.
D. She found something similar between the baby and its father.
64. What does the underlined word they refer to in the last but on paragraph(倒数第2段)?
A. The ears.
B. The parents.
C. The doctor and nurse.
D. The problems
65. What’s the function of the last paragraph?
A. To advise readers to listen carefully.
B. To draw a conclusion from the story.
C. To criticize the wrong attitude to physical beauty.
D. To stress the importance of doctor-patient relationship.

The classic love story explores the lives of the five Bennet sisters at the turn of the 19th century in rural England. At that time women were not allowed to get their father’s wealth after his death, so their mother is desperate to marry them off into wealthy families. Therefore various

It reflects people’s tragic life in Britain in the 18th century. In the story, Oliver Twist, a mild young boy, is born in the workhouse and stays there until he is made to leave. What waits for him next is the falseness of the wealthy and the depths to which poverty pushes the human spirit.

An Agreement
I often quarrel with my mother over whether I, a senior middle student, can surf the Internet at home after school.
My mother holds the view that senior middle students are too busy learning to spare any time to surf the Internet. I f I am allowed to do that, I’ll forget about my study and also it is bad for my eyes as well as my health. But in my opinion, after a day’s hard work, it is really a relaxation to listen to music and read the stories on the Internet for a little while. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but broaden my horizons. Now we’ve reached an agreement that I can only surf the Internet at weekends, the programs of which should be limited to news, or programs of entertainment, sports or science.
