石景山一模Dear Li Wen,You are not only the friendliest but also the most helpful friend I have ever met.I will always remember the sweet smile you gave to me on the first day. You are the one who offered to help me out when I was in trouble and the one who cheered me up when I was down. Do you still remember my 15th birthday? We really had a great time in the park, didn’t we?Finally, I hope your dream will come true and our friendship will last forever.Yours,Tony丰台一模In our life, we communicate with others every day. It’s important to get on well with each other. However, it’s not an easy thing.Once, two of my classmates and I were working on a wallnewspaper. I thought I had a great idea but they didn’t use it. I was sad and decided never to talk to them. But after giving it a second thought, I talked to them, telling them about my feelings and how I wished they could use my idea. They apologized to me sincerely and explained to me the reason. We got to understand each other and came up with a better idea which made the wall newspaper eye-catching.From the experience, I know how important it is to have aheart-to-heart talk, especially when having problems. If we try to understand each other more, we will enjoy a better relationship and more happiness.朝阳一模We often have moving experiences in our daily life. They help us walk along the right road.I still remember that day. I was taking the final exam when I found I didn’t have my eraser with me. I was so worried that I almost cried. Just then, Mike, a boy next to me, understood what was happening. He quickly cut his eraser in half and handed me one part. With tears in my eyes, I finished the exam.I’m deeply moved by what Mike did. He is a real friend. He cares others a lot. I want to learn from him to be the person in need.东城一模Hi! Peter,I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Giving lucky money to children is a custom. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, and spend the rest on some books. This year, I also got lucky money. With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia.For you, I think it’s a good idea to buy a gift with the lucky money for your host family before you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.I hope what I said can help you.Yours,Li Hua西城一模Praise is like sunlight to our spirit. It gives us confidence and hope. However, this heavenly gift usually shows up unexpectedly.In junior high, it seemed fashion was never my cup of tea, for I had neither a lovely face nor an attractive figure. I found it boring and even heart-breaking to go shopping.The time came when we had to dress up for the prom. Unwillingly, I joined my friends on the trip to Macy’s. Unsurely, I tried on a bright violet flowered dress and stepped out of the dressing room. A good-looking lady was standing there. She glanced at me, smiled and said, “I love your dress.” She had no idea how much her praise meant to me. T hese magic words touched my heart and I started to love my imperfect appearance.I appreciated that stranger’s words of praise, which are not often heard. Now I keep reminding myself of the power of praise, even strangers, because we never know where it might lead…。
B1(昌平)Freedom means many things to many people. When we spoke to some children in the age group of 8 to 12, we were amazed to learn the different meanings they gave to that one word “freedom”.Here they put their ideas exactly the way their thoughts arose in their minds…“I don’t have to study. There’s no homework over the weekendand on vacation.”“Being able to watch my favorite channel Star Plus, CartoonNetwork whenever I like.”“Eating as many ice creams as I want.”“Going for school tours. On ly 4th and 5th class students gofor tours. We 3rd class students are not allowed.”“Not getting up early in the morning.”Radhika Jain (8 years) “Doing what I like but should be right …”“I will never do anything bad against rules like corruption.”“I won’t go against the government rules only of the rulesare right. Out of 100 percent if 80 percent say a rule is bad then it isbad.”Saloni (11 years)“We can do anything we want, like not going to school.” “Everything should be free. We should not pay money to buy anything.” “Can go anywhere I want … to the playground when exams are on.” “Chatting on phone with classmates or friends as long as I want.” “In school being able to play sports and not study.”“Flying kites.”Arihant Jain (12 years)1.

I've been preparing for my exams now for thelast two weeks.That's why I haven't written for such a long time.Since the beginning of this year we've been doing a project called “World Class”.Have you heard of it? Not everyone in the class could take part,but luckily I could.The school chose a “twin school”in a different area of the world.Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda, a country in Africa.They gave us someone to write to from that school.For three months,I've written to a girl called Louisa,who is the same age as me.It's been so interesting to hear about her life.She's told me all about her school and described her daily life.I can't believe that her school doesn't have any electricity.She goes to school from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening.I can't believe how lucky we are here!I love it because it's the first time I've thought about what life must be like somewhere else.I can't believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us.I think more people should help out with projects like this.At the weekend we're going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school.Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself — who knows?Lots of love,Suzanne1.Suzanne hasn't written to Estelle for long because she is _______.A.writing to a girl B.preparing for her examsC.busy doing a project D.choosing a “twin school”2.Suzanne felt _______ to take part in the Project “World Class”.A.strange B.surprised C.thankful D.lucky 3.Suzanne and her classmates will ________________ to help their twin school this weekend.A.write letters B.send clothes C.raise money D.go to AfricaB3(丰台)Charlie was about to climb into bed when he found there was a light on in his garden shed (工棚). Then he noticed some people who were busy stealing (偷) his things.He called the police righ t away. The policeman asked: “Are there any thieves (小偷)in your house?”Charlie replied “no” and explained what was happening.The police said: “All patrol cars (巡逻车) have gone out, and a policeman will go to your house when one is free.”Charlie hung up, waited 30 seconds, and then calledthe police again.“Hello, I just called a short while ago because therewere people stealing things from my shed. I want to let youknow that they’re not a problem anymore because I’ve justshot every one of them.”Charlie then hung up the phone. In five minutes, threepatrol cars, dozens of policeman and an ambulance arrivedat his house. Of course, the police caught the thieves.One policeman said: “I thought you said that you shot every one of them!”Charlie replied: “I thought you said there were no patrol cars free!”1.What did Charlie notice before he climbed into bed?A.

Read the short passages below.10 million reptiles are killed every year. Their skin is used to make fashion items, like handbags and shoes.The main reason whales are in danger is that man kills them for their meat and oils.Orangutans live in rainforests. They want to live in peace,But people are cutting down the trees for wood and farming.This is a big problem because the trees are the orangutan’s homes.They are very difficult to find and study because they are shy animals. They are also our cousins!There isn’t enough bamboo for pandas to eat because man has cut down nearly half the bamboo forests. Research has shown that there are only about 600 giant pandas left in the wild in the world. Most of them live in China.Some people steal the turtle’s eggs to eat. The skin of the turtle is used to make some jewellery.In the Far East, rhinoceros’ horns are used to make medicines. They are also used to make ornaments.So what can you do to help protect them?●Try not to buy jewellery made from animals.●Try to keep the earth clean and free from pollution.●Tell other people about what you’ve learned.1. Reptiles’ skin is used to make __________.A. fashion itemsB. oilsC. some jewelleryD. ornaments2. There are fewer homes for orangutans because _________________.A. their eggs are stolenB. their horns are cutC. trees in rain forests are cut downD. half the bamboo forests have been cut down3. “________________” doesn’t belong to protecting animals.A. Keeping the earth cleanB. Eating wild animal meatC. Stopping pollutionD. Telling others not to kill animalsB5(通州)When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note —“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time t aking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk.1. The milkman delivered milk to family _____ in the old days.A. by carB. by bikeC. on footD. by truck2. The writer’s mother put the note _____.A. into the bottlesB. into the milk boxC. in the kitchenD. in front of the door3. The writer brought back home an old milk box because he _____.A. missed the good old daysB. wanted to tell funny storiesC. needed it for his milk bottleD. wanted to give it to the milkmanB6(西城)A new museum about laziness has opened in Colombia’s capital, Bogota. But, you have to hurry if you want to find out about being lazy because the show lasts for only one week.The unusual show has displays (展品) that include things, such as sofas, beds, and anything that lets you take the weight off your feet. There are also plenty of televisions for visitors to watch while they walk around in the museum.The museum opened soon after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year.The museum’s keeper, Marcela Arrieta, said she wanted people to have a rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She added, “We always think about l aziness as an enemy of work.” Ms. Arrieta may not be pushing for a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we might require more free time than our jobs allow us. Avoiding the pressure (压力) of work and relaxing more may make us healthier and live longer.Try out her advice for yourself; take the weight off your feet, put your feet up, and think about being lazy.1. Visitors can ______ in the Museum of Laziness.A. repair sofasB. watch TVC. buy bedsD. get a job2. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2?A. Relax yourself.B. Become excited.C. Lose weight.D. Take off your shoes.3. The museum’s keeper thinks that ______.A. museums are good places to visitB. work is a big enemy of lifeC. people should rethink about lazinessD. the unusual show is very successfulB7(延庆)Our three-year-old daughter Becky wanted a dog. But we were too busy to buy one. One day, Becky ran in, shouting, “Mom! Come to see my dog!” Her face wasred with excitement.I followed her to the bush and found a wolf! He was hurt. Seeingme, he stood up suddenly! I could see his teeth! God! My mouth feltdry. “Don’t be afraid. That’s Mom. She loves you, too,” Becky said.Then he became friendly. It was unbelievable!I rushed to find my husband and told him about the wolf. We should have killed the wolf, but Becky loved him. Besides, he was gentle to Becky. So we called the vet finally.Becky named the wolf Ralph and she carried food to him every day. Later, Ralph got well. They played together in the daytime. At night, Ralph would return to the mountains. Sometimes he disappeared but came back several days later.On Becky’s first day of school, we could see Ralph’s sadness. After the school bus left, Ralph lay by the side of the road and waited. When Becky returned, he got happy again. This continued throughout Becky’s school years.Twelve years passed. One day we heard that a wolf was killed. The other wolf was hurt and ran away. We were worried about Ralph. That night, Ralph returned with a wound(伤口). Becky held his head kindly and comforted him. We hope he could come through. However, he died.Becky cried. I noticed something strange in the bush---two little yellow eyes! Ralph’s child! Before he died,Ralph brought his child to us! He knew he would be safe here, as he had been. Ralph, Ralph… I was moved.“Don’t be afraid, Little…Ralphie. That’s Mom. She loves you, too.”1.

There are lots of reasons why they do this —mostly it is to find work, because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there. When there are lots of people living and working in a city, they need things like restaurants, shops, hospitals and schools, too. These are all more jobs that people need to do. There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around. Everything you could want will be found in a city: government offices, museums and art galleries, cinemas, big restaurants and parks.Unfortunately the city is much busier, more expensive, and more dangerous than the country. The air is not so healthy because of all the cars and trucks on the roads. There are so many people that it is not as friendly — you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country, and people may get lonely. You do not have much room in the city — most people live in apartments — not houses, and they do not have gardens or lots of space, and because of all the people there is also a lot of noise.The country is much more friendly as everyone knows each other.It is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people thanyou find in cities. And perhaps the best thing is that you can have abig house with a garden and it will be very quiet. But there are notmany jobs or services there. There are also not many shops, schools orhospitals. And it is hard to get around.Every person is different, but more and more people choose to live in cities because there is so much to do there. What do you think about the city?1. Why do more and more people move to the cities?A.Because they want to find a job.B.Because they like to live in apartments.C.Because they want to make more friends.D.Because they like eating in big restaurants.2. Which sentence is true according to the passage?A.You can live a quiet life in the cityB.You can find a big house with a garden in the country.C.People can visit museums and art galleries in the country.D.Big companies in the country need lots of people to work there.3. The writer says the country is more friendly because __________.A. people can live quietlyB. people work togetherC. everyone has some friendsD. everyone knows each other参考答案B1:1. D 2. C 3.

Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability (能力).They feel hopeless about it.Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothi ng can be done about it?To be sure, people are different.You can not to do everything as well as certain other peo ple do.If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good player s; others would be very poor; and many would be in between.But even the very poor playe rs can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of pra ctice.It is the same with reading.Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without an y special help.Others find reading a slow and tiring job.In between, there are all degrees o f reading ability.Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading a bility.In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability.After som e of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction an d practice in reading.After a few months, another test of the same kind was given.In nearly all experiments, these people had improved their reading ability.(1)With the example of basketball players,the author shows________.A why certain people are poor readers.B that there are differences in people's abilities .C why some people are good basketball players.D that good basketball players c an be good readers.(2)To improve their reading ability,people should________.A work long and hard.B take different forms of tests.C have special help and pract ice.D try different reading materials.(3)What do the experiments want to show?________A Good readers seem to enjoy reading.B Almost all poor readers can make progress.C Causes of poor reading are difficult to find out.D Tests help people improve thei r reading ability.27. Disposing (处理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.As more and more people c hoose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together t o select a faraway spot as a dumpsite to keep the waste.Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site.Peri odically(定期) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried(掩埋).The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.Others built huge burner s with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.The first problem is spa ce.Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas.Suc h areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的) neighborhoods.Long distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once far m areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance o f major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal.Polluti on of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people cannot longer pay to get rid of waste .The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part.Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50percent of a city's reusable waste.(1)The best title for this passage would be.________A Places for Disposing Waste.B Waste Pollution Dangers.C Ways of Getting Rid of Waste.D Waste Disposal Problem.(2)During the 18th century,people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for________.A burying it .B burning it .C recycling it.D throwing it into rivers.(3)The main purpose of writing this article is to________.A draw people's attention to waste management.B warn people of the pollution dange rs we are facing.C call on people to take part in recycling programs.D tell peoplea better way to get rid of the waste.28. In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small notepad (记事本) and a hole for a pencil.I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am introducing to my m other.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five house s later, the present paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can't be the s ame pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original (原始的)one."I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years."I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil."You still use a pencil.Can't you afford a pen? " My mother replies a little sharply."It works perfectly well.I've always kept the stand in t he kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the ki tchen in those days."Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon i n one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says, " One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadb oard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving t he mathematical problem I was working on."This story, which happened before I was born-reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician.I feel emb arrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled mar ks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.(1)What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 5?________A Simple but surprising.B Easy but valuable.C Funny and interesting.D Cleve r and great.(2)What does the author think first about the wooden stand?________A It has great value for the family.B It needs to be replaced by a better one.C It b rings her back to her lonely childhood.D It should be passed on to the next generation.(3)The author feels ashamed for________.A blaming her mother so much wrongly.B giving her mother a lot of trouble.C not making good use of time as her mother did. D not making any breakthrough in her fi eld.(4)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?________A The mother is successful in her career.B The family members like traveling.C The author had little time to play when young.D The marks on the breadboard have di sappeared.五、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.29. 阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.We sometimes call the lion"the king of the jungle",because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals.(1)________ And it can hunt the best.It is the highest animal in the land food chain.In the sea,the shark is one of the animals at the top of the food chain.It can swim faster than the most other sea animals,and it can use its big teeth to eat them.What is at the top of the world's food chain?People are!We are not the biggest or fastest.But we are the cleverest.We could not run fas ter than cheetahs,so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest.We could not fight better than lions,(2)________ Now we can hunt the best.People's inventions are clever,(3)________ For example,people invented factories,and now they make the air and rivers dirty.This can make terrible changes.Dirty rivers kill fish.then bears cannot eat the fish and the bears die.If we kill one part of the food chain,other parts also die.Remember that we are a part of the food chain,so we are in danger too!(4)________!We should and we could do something for the world!A.If we protect animals,we are protecting ourselves!B.We should make friends with animals.C.But they can be dangerous,too.D.So we invented guns.E.The lion can run faster than many animals.六、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答.30. DNA is the whole"map"of the human body.It is something that all humans have,and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents,because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In I860,Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family.It is because of s mall things called"genes"(基因) in our body.In 1953,two scientists,Watson and Crick,found out that those small parts are really messages.They're written in the DNA with a spe cial language.In 1961,another two scientists found the first"word"that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞)to build its parts,Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map,but we still do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one"word"mea ns,we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand,the more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people:Other people worry that when we learn more"words"and find out more information,we will use it in the wrong way,just to make people more attractive (有吸引力的),or stop sick people getting jobs.64.Do all humans have DNA?________65.When did Mr.Mendel discover why we look like our other family members?________ 66.What did the two scientists find in 1961?________67.Why do some people worry about learning more"words"in the DNA map?________ 68.What is the passage mainly about?________.七、完成句子,并将答案写在答题纸上.31. 今天天气很好.为什么不去钓鱼?It's fine today.________go fishing?32.

The boy was standing beside a bike that had a flat tire. The man stopped his car and asked the boy if he needed help.The boy nodded and said, "My bike's tire is flat, and I don't know how to fix it." The man got out of his car and took a look at the bike. He noticed that the tire was indeed flat. He asked the boy if he had a spare tire and a pump.The boy shook his head and said, "No, I don't have a spare tire or a pump." The man sighed and said, "Well, I don't have a pump either, but I do have a tool kit in my car. Let's see if we can fix the tire with that."The man opened his tool kit and started working on the bike. After a few minutes, he had the tire pumped up and the bike was ready to ride. He handed the bike back to the boy and said, "There you go. You can nowride home."The boy thanked the man and rode off. The man got back into his car and drove away.A few minutes later, the man saw the boy riding the bike back towards him. He stopped his car and rolled down his window. The boy got off his bike and said, "Sir, I just wanted to thank you again for helping me. You don't know how much that means to me."The man smiled and said, "It's my pleasure. I'm glad I could help. Is everything okay now?"The boy nodded and said, "Yes, everything is fine. I can now ride home."The man drove away, feeling good about helping the boy. As he continued to drive, he thought about the small act of kindness he had just performed. It made him realize how important it is to help others, even in simple ways.31.

Regular physicalactivity has numerous benefits for both our physical and mental health. It helps to strengthen our muscles, improve our cardiovascular health, and maintain a healthy weight. Additionally, exercise can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase energy levels.One of the most significant benefits of exercise is its impact on mental health. When we exercise, our bodies release endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. This can help to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Exercise also promotes better sleep, which is essential for overall well-being.Another important benefit of exercise is its ability to improvecognitive function. Regular physical activity has been shown to enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. This is especially important for students, as it can help them perform better in school.Despite the many benefits of exercise, many people struggle to incorporate it into their daily routines. However, there are many ways to make exercise a part of your life. You can start with small, manageable goals, such as taking a 30-minute walk every day or doing a few strength training exercises at home.36. What is the main topic of the passage?A.

However, it also comes with its own set of challenges, particularly for young people.One of the biggest concerns regarding the Internet is the issue of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying involves the use of technology to harass, intimidate, or harm others. This can have severe consequences, including emotional distress, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.Another challenge is the issue of online privacy. With the increasing amount of personal information shared online, it is important to be cautious about what we post and who we share it with. Identity theft and other forms of online fraud are also growing concerns.To address these challenges, it is important for young people to be educated about online safety. This includes learning about the risks of cyberbullying, understanding how to protect their privacy, and being aware of the potential dangers of online fraud.40.

It allows us to explore new places, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. However, traveling can also be challenging, especially if we are not prepared.One of the most important things to consider when planning a trip is the destination. Researching the weather, local customs, and attractions can help make the trip more enjoyable. It is also important to pack appropriately for the climate and activities you will be participating in.Another important aspect of traveling is budgeting. Planning a budget can help you avoid overspending and ensure that you have enough moneyfor the duration of your trip. It is also a good idea to research travel insurance to protect yourself against unexpected expenses.Lastly, it is important to stay safe while traveling. This includes being aware of your surroundings, avoiding risky behavior, and keeping important documents, such as your passport and visa, secure.43. What is the main topic of the passage?A.

Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?To be sure, people are different. You can not to do everything as well as certain other people do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all experiments, these people had improved their reading ability.50.With the example of basketball players, the author shows ____.A. why certain people are poor readersB. that there are differences in people’s ab ilitiesC. why some people are good basketball playersD. that good basketball players can be good readers51.To improve their reading ability, people should ____.A. work long and hardB. take different forms of tests6 Hours ’ Free Parking If you spend 100 yuan or more in RT-Mart , you will receive six hours of free parking.

Shop now for Christmas.C. have special help and practiceD. try different reading materials52.What do the experiments want to show?A. Good readers seem to enjoy readingB. Almost all poor readers can make progressC. Causes of poor reading are difficult to find outD. Tests help people improve their reading abilityCDisposing (处理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite to keep the waste. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期)some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried(掩埋). The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. Long distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people cannot longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste.53.The best title for this passage would be .A. Places for Disposing WasteB. Waste Pollution DangersC. Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD. Waste Disposal Problem54. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for .A. burying itB. burning itC. recycling itD. throwing it into rivers55. The main purpose of writing this article is to .A. draw people's attention to waste managementB. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC. call on people to take part in recycling programsD. tell people a better way to get rid of the wasteDIn the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small notepad (记事本) and a hole for a pencil.I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am introducing to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the present paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original (原始的)one."I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil. Can't you afford a pen?"My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days. "Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on. "This story, which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician.
