Well, Cody Banks is just like any other boy, except that he is not just dreaming. He has a big secret his friends never know about. He was trained to be a spy(间谍) by a special CIA programme, which was made to look like a summer camp. He learned high-speed driving, hand-to-hand fighting and the use of high-tech tools.After proving he could become a young hero by saving a baby from a runaway car, Banks gets his first real task(任务).

Introducing a film.CIve always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation Ive found myself inMy mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed. “Ill be right back.” she said.She was gone just a few minutes, but at that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “Ill need to be paid.” I didnt realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed. By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her.”Now that Im an adult, youll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it. Ive always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a speech on an overhead projector(投影仪) and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb（灯泡）on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.“Its Okay.” he announced. “Theres nothing to worry about.”We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector. Who could even think of that?I often told my students, “When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you.” And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared. 28. Why was the boy angry with his mother? A. His mother forgot to buy something B. He had just quarreled with the cashier C. His mother left him alone D. He lost face in front of the cashier29. Why did the cashier ask the boy to pay for the purchases? A. The boys mother was away for something else B. The boy was shopping by himself C. The boys mother asked her to do so D. The cashier was playing a joke on him30. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him? A. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor qualityB. He was always well-prepared C. He knew the bulb on the projector would blow out D. His speech was about bulbs 31. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Chances favor those who are well-prepared B. Money is the key that opens all doors. C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day D. Accidents happen almost every dayDWhats your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices ,and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? Its true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood（生计） and dignity（尊严）. Local workers often find only jobs with slim salaries in the tourist industry. And most of the profits(利润) do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven（驱赶） from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing(摆姿势) for photos.Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure. The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct（行为准则）can help protect the peoples lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while were abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people. They are not just part of the landscape!Lets enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.32. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects. B. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.C. Vacations Cost More Than You Think D. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.33. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.34. The underlined phrase take heart means .A.take care B. cheer up C. pay attention D. calm down35. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising（有前途的） industry B. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. tourists should respect local customs and cultureD. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its hard to adjust to(适应) attending a new school. Everything seems new. Making new friends can be hard too because people seem to have formed their own group. The following are some ways to help you make friends at a new school.Make sure you are kind to whoever you meet at the new school. 36 If you think that you will say something that will offend(冒犯，得罪)them, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you.Be yourself. 37 If your friends dont accept you for you, theyre not really friends. Most people belong in a certain group simply because they are being themselves and their unique personalities and interest fall into that type. For example, someone who likes sports may make friends with people who also like sports. 38 Anywhere, in the bathroom, near your locker, or at the water fountain, you can find someone that has something in common with you. All you need is to know how to approach them. Give a smile or say hi. Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where youre from. You never know where you can find a nice friend. 39 You can take part in a sports club, an art club or a foreign language learning club. Even if you dont know anyone there, youll all share a common interest, and you can experience people with different personalities from yours that have the same interest.Figure out who the “mean girls” or the hot-headed jocks”(鲁莽、急躁的肌肉男) are 40 But dont be mean to them and dont completely avoid them because they may be nice people. Also stay away from people who are in gangs and do criminal activities.A. Make the first move.B. Do something nice for someone.C. Join after-class activities you like.D. Make eye contact with other people.E. Never change who you are to try to fit in.F .These are the people that you might want to avoid for a while.G. Make sure to be nice to people of all cultures and backgrounds.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）I was sitting in the surgical waiting area at the hospital waiting for word of my wifes operation.
