Biggie Burger, a new fast food restaurant, will soon be opened in the town. A large group of kids and
parents were holding signs shouting outside it yesterday. They were there because they didn’t want the
restaurant to open. Never!
“This kind of food is really bad for us!” said Diana, “It’s high in salt, fat and sugar. It’s unhealthy and we are going to say ’no’ to it!”
“Our town has been a quiet place. Restaurants like this bring people and also a lot
of trouble to this area,” said Barbara. “And I’m afraid they will take business away
from our local restaurants.” Other local people disagree. The officials believe that
Biggie Burger will bring in huge amounts of money to help improve the town. And
17-year-old Sandy can’t wait for Biggie Burger to open. “I love their hamburgers and fried chicken wings! And I can get a job there.”
Sandy’s dad, a cleaner, agrees, “Biggie Burger’s prices are just right for a family like ours.”
Michael, who owns a toy shop next door to Biggie Burger, is excited, too. “Maybe people who come for a Biggie Burger will spend a few minutes in my store and pick up something.”
The town will hold a meeting on Thursday to hear sides. Everyone is welcome to attend it. Come and voice your opinion!
71. Biggie Burger was opened yesterday and many people were there.
72. Diana thinks that the food in Biggie Burger is too expensive.
73. Barbara is afraid that fewer people will come to the local restaurants.
74. Sandy has found a job in Biggie Burger and loves food there.

B. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) ：(7分）
You probably know you should say ”please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably
know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But
do you have music manners?
Keep it down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You shouldn’t play your
music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry.
Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.
Take them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a party, a movie or sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take one out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way, it would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.
It’s your choice! There are times when you need to decide what is the best. For example, can listen to
music on their MP3 players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need
to do what seems right for you.
78. The underlined word “volume” in paragraph two probably means _______.
A) the type of music B) the amount of sound C) the length of a song D) the color of an MP3 player
79. No one wants to listen to _______ from others’ MP3 players.
A) a loud sound B) sad stories C) a long movie D) the words of a song

A) is not enjoyable B) makes us tired C) is bad for MP3 players D) hurts our ears
81. If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, ________.
A) the theatre won’t allow it B) the actors will get angry
C) others won’t hear the play well D) we will miss the part of the play
82. We can take one earphone out when we ________.
A) show others the way B) talk to friends on the phone
C) watch a sporting event D) have dinner with our parents

We have always been warned of the dangers of forest fires. They cause ___85___ to a forest. They kill
many plants and animals in an eco-system, which is a group of living things and their environment. But have
you ever heard of a forest fire that can be ___86___ for a forest? People start some of the fires with a special
reason to actually do good to the eco-system.
In fact, fires are a natural part of any eco-system. Without fires, the oldest and the
largest trees would stop sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Fires can ___87___
some of these old trees. When the trees die, they provide something good for the
earth. New trees can grow strong and healthy in their place.
Some trees even need fires to grow. These trees hold their seeds (种子) inside.
Heat from a fire allows the coat of the seeds to open up. Then the seeds fall to the
ground and have the ___88___ to grow.
Scientists who know about nature’s needs, start some of these fires, called controlled burns. A fire is
started and kept under control. This way, the fire does not spread out of the area or ___89___ a large space
of the forest. Fires can be dangerous for animals. Even when animals continue to live after forest fires, they
can go hungry ___90___ their food has been damaged in the fire. Small, controlled fires mean that animals
will not have to move far to find food. After some time, small plants begin to grow. Animals return soon
after the plants return. This ___91___ makes an eco-system.
So the next time you hear about a forest fire, think about the good as well as the bad. It may take a new
eco-system a while to return, but it will likely come back stronger and healthier than ever.
85. A) illness B) difficulty C) damage D) flood

New technology has really opened up the world of film-making for film fans. Now a
camera does not cost m___93___ and most young people are certainly able to pay for it.
So all you need is to get one for yourself. With that, you may then start your own
film-making.
However, film-making is t___94___ work. You probably need many other people to
help you. For example, the p___95___ of actors and actresses is very important in your
film. Of course, these actors and actresses maybe your schoolmates, friends or family members. You don’t even need to pay them a cent while they are glad to be part of your job.
B___96___, you need to make up a story. Can you write your own one? If you have good imagination, you can create an attractive story e___97___. Many world-famous film makers and producers are also good story-writers. If not, perhaps you need someone else to write it for you. An excellent story is the key to making a s___98___ film.

Helen Monson has always been interested in helping her community. Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. One year, she organized a Super Saturday fun day for kids in the community. She also used to volunteer at the Mint Festival every year. One summer she served food, another year she organized an art programme.
After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.
After a hurricane (飓风) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says, “I have always liked the Red Cross because the organization helps people in need no matter what.”
One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Sahra is living and working in a town about 30 minutes’ walk from where Helen lives. They work on reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.
Helen says, “The most rewarding (有益的) part of volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.”
