But the Taiyuan girl began drinking it because her mom, as well as many others, said that milk was good for her growing body. Besides, milk and bread made up a convenient (方便的) diet that helped save her parents a lot of time after Song entered junior high and had to arrive at school early in the morning. Hence , Mengniu and Yili became her favorite brands (牌子) of morning milk after dinner.However, she has been forced to change her diet since the recent milk crisis (危机). Many best-selling home milk brands such as Mengniu, Yili and Bright were discovered to contain melamine (三聚氰胺), which is usually used to make plastic (塑料).“I shifted (转向) to rice porridge,” she said. “My mom has to get up at 5:50 am to prepare my breakfast and make sure that it cools down when I get up.”So ng has become addicted (上瘾的) to milk, so she doesn?t quite enjoy her morning meal these days although she knows that it?s a tiring job for her working mom.“I?ll turn back to Mengniu and Yili when they finally improve their products,” she said.However, right now Song?s mom tries to adjust (调整) her eating habits by cooking different foods. Besides rice porridge, noodles, egg soup and soybean milk are prepared to diversify (使多样化) her breakfast.Beijing student Huang Shuang?s family has a grinder(豆浆机）, and soybean milk has become a regular (通常的) meal in the family during the weekends.

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. They also found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.31. When will people become happier and experience less worry?A. 18 years oldB. 80 years oldC. 50 years oldD. 25 years old32. What does the underlined word“emotions”mean in Paragragh Two?A. 体力B. 情感C. 智力D. 目标33. Who has the most sadness, stress and worry?A. a fifty-year-old manB. a fifty-year-old womanC. a twenty-five-year-old womanD. a twenty-five-year-old man34. According to the last paragraph, why may people be happier at an older age?A. They are more thankful for what they haveB. They have better control of their emotionsC. They spend less time thinking about their bad experiencesD. All of the above.(B)Every people has its own way of saying things. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors. Here are some expressions about colours.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of thetwentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. It can make you feel calm. And the traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.35. How many clours are mentioned in the article?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six36.

Peter Noonan: "The world's changing consistently. And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening."Digital books also cost less than printed textbooks, he says.Then what do students think? Melanie Reuter: "I don't have to carry a textbook around, so that's nice."Maria Stephany: "I don't like it because the Internet sometimes, its like, doesn't work."Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a printed textbook. He likes the way it has materials for students with different levels of reading skills.But the students also need access to the Internet when they are not at school. About ten percent of students in Fairfax County do not have a computer or online access at home.42.

Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)A) Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)As population increased in large cities in the 19th century, building subway lines was a way to move people from one area of a city to another quickly. The first main subway system, the London Underground, started in 1863 using steam trains. Subway developed quickly in London and the system then had more lines. As of 1896, it strated to use an electrical system. Today's subways around the world now work on electricity.Two of the world's earliest subways were built in Paris and New York. When the Paris Metro opened on July 19,1900 citizens were pround of the beautifully decorated station entrances that have been a landmark ever since. Although the first New York subway consisted of only 14.6 kilometers of track in 1904, today it is the world's largest subway system.Subway trains run in tunnels dug far below the ground. Passengers enter the stations and then take lifts or moving stairs to get on the trains. The deep underground stations of the London and Moscow subways served as safe bomb shelters(防空洞) during World War Ⅱ. Today some cities are building new subways and they dig deep for a different reason. In Athens, Greece, for exmple, the city planners don't want to damage the ancient monument(纪念碑) above the ground. Today, subways are still popular with passengers. The Moscow subway is the busiest in the world with 3.2 billion riders a year. Close behind are subways in Tokyo (2.7billion), Soul(1.6billion), and Mexico City(1.3billion). Systems that got started early in London, New York and Paris transport millions of riders, and so do subways in Osaka, Hong Kong, and St. Petersburg.44. The earliest subway was built in ____.A 1700sB 1800sC 1900s D2000s45. The earliest subway system was powered by _____A steamB gasC electricityD oil46. Subways are mainly used as___A bomb sheltersB tourist attractionsC business centersD public transportation47. How many subways around the world transport millions of riders?A 3B 4C 5D 648. Citizens in Paris are proud og their Metro because___A it is the largest in the worldB there is an ancient monument aboveC it cost a large sum of moneyD the entrances were beautifully decorated49. The best title of the passage is ___A Subways in EuropeB Development of subwaysC Passengers and SubwaysD The Earliest SubwaysB．Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) (12分)About a year ago, a couple with 3 children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always___50_________ them, in a frightening way. We met often in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others.

Answer the question (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Just before midnight on July the 31th, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a sound like the passing of ten trains. The frightened skiers rushed to where the noise had come from and found that part of the hillside about the village had dropped down onto two buildings in which nineteen people had been sleeping. The buildings were now buried (掩埋) under tons of earth and huge rocks.As soon as the day broke, rescue (救援) workers began digging for people alive. They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped (围困) under the rocks. Rain and snow kept falling and there was a danger that more earth and rocks would come down the mountain.For two days , rescue workers never stopped digging. On Thursday evening they found the first body. The next day they found two more. They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when, at 5:37 a.m. on Saturday morning, a special machine they were using found a small movement.Immediately someone shouted to tell the workers to be silent. Everyone stopped talking, no one moved. A fireman lay down over to a hole in a large piece of concrete (混凝土) and shouted down. “Can anyone hear me?” “I can hear you,” came the reply.Worried that their digging could start more rock falling down the mountain, rescue workers began carefully taking away the rocks and dirt on top of the trapped man. By 10 o‟clock, a smallhole had been made. At 10:10 a.m., rescue workers sent two tubes down through the hole, one carrying warm air and the other a warm drink. Then a microphone was passed through the hole so that they could talk to the man.For the next seven hours, two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him. They found out that his name was Stuart Diver and that he and his wife were sleeping then the disaster happened. His wife was washed away by the mud and water. For more than two days, Stuart had been trapped between two pieces of concretes, with only 30 cm between his head and the concrete above. Every few hours, icy water had rushed over him and he had had to lift his head out of the water to breathe. By the time he was found, he was cold and hungry and had almost given up any hope of being rescued.Finally, at 5:17 p.m. on Saturday evening, Stuart was pulled out. Rescue workers all over the hillside began shouting with joy. In thousands of homes, people were also cheering as they watched the rescue on their televisions.63. When did the disaster happen?64. Why did the rescue workers use hand tools to dig for the people alive?Because ______________________________________________________65. How did the rescue workers find Stuart Diver?66.
