After many years of walking, the kings castle came into his view. However, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the guards noticed him.“Get out of here!” ordered the guards.Well, the little boy didnt have to be told twice. He turnedand ran. All he wanted to do was to tell the king wonderful things, and see all the beautiful things in the kings house. But he couldnt even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw the little boy and stopped. “Whats wrong, young man?” he asked.“Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. But these guards made me scared. I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him!”The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why dont you try again. Ill come with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the mans hand. The kings guards spotted them.“Look, mister, we dont have to do thisI dont want you to get hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boys hand and went on. The boy really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was amazed.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in surprise.“Why, Im the kings son. You can enter the castle and be with the king.” said the man.The little boy broke into a huge smile.54. Why did the boy want to see the king?A. To get some help from the king. B. To invite the king to visit his beautiful village.C. To share wonderful things with the king. D. To ask the king to play with him.55. What does the underlined sentence in the paragraph mean?A.

The little boy understood the guards words at once.56. According to the passage, the man is .A. kind B. stupid C. rude D. selfish (自私)57. Which of the following best suits the storys lesson for us?A.

C Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011. Lets look at the following advantages of banning smoking. First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动)smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled. Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesnt smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.Smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率). Employees(雇员)who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.58. _doesnt belong to a non-smoking place.A.A field B. A hospital C. A library D.A restaurant59. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us _.A. banning smoking is good for restaurants B. banning smoking is good for non-smokersC. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers60. According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means _.A. men B. women C. adults D. teenagers61. Which of the following statements in NOT true? A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase. B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger. C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better. D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking. D I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my fathers words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year. When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “Fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them. Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually(逐渐地) going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspapers crossword puzzle.（填字游戏） However, she didnt look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces（侄女）would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week Ive had in years!”I suddenly realized that Grandma didnt want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.62. What was mentioned to make Grandma happy in the passage?A. My parents moved to live with her. B. The writer did the crossword puzzle with her.C. Her two nieces would come. D. We tried to make her live comfortably.63. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Grandma preferred looking after others to being looked after. B. The fair usually lasts for about a week.C. Grandma was kind and educated very well. D. Grandma liked to stay in the room for hours without saying a word.64. What does the underlined word“appreciated” mean?A. 激动的 B. 感激的 C.轻松的 D.迷惑的65. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Fairtime B. My “Old” Grandma C. A Small Town D.

This sentence is a warning that youd better not put it close to you when a new phone is bought. Apple company, for example, doesnt want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerrys producer, recommends 2.5 centimeters. If cell phone use can cause health problems, the result will be very serious. Americans spend 2.26 trillion minutes chatting on cell phones every year, which brings $109 billion for the wireless businessmen.Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮肤病专家) who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation（辐射）Disconnect. Davis studies how often brain cancer（脑癌） happens during different age groups. She finds a big increase (增长) in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴
