A Tuesday evening B Friday afternoon C Wednesday morning D Monday morning B I left home for New Zealand to start my new life on my 15th birthday. My father and mother took me to Hong Kong, where we had to say goodbye. When we were saying goodbye, I suddenly felt afraid that I had never had before. This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away（擦去） my tears, I realized that, from that moment on, I would have to do everything by myself. After my arrival in Wellington, my teacher, Ms. Lang, showed me around my new school. A few days later, I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class. Only math, science, social studies（社会学） and English were compulsory, and students could choose other subjects for themselves, I chose music, Japanese and health. HOUSE FOR SALE.

We can sit with anyone we like, and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student s desk. The school had an easy manner, with few rules. Because there was no homework, we could join clubs or do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies. Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand, students depend on the library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do. Time went fast. The two months after I arrived flew by. Then a week of exams began. I did not have to take these exams, because I had only been at the school for a short time. However, my math teacher encouraged me to take the math exam, as she thought I could do well. Though there wasn t much pressure on me, I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pains means no gains. When the day of the exam came, I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later, my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark: It was me! I got 94 percent. All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life. 48 The word “ Wellington” in the fourth paragraph is the name of _.

D she would start a new life in New Zealand all by herself. 50 The word “ compulsory” in the sixth paragraph means_ in Chinese. A必修的 B选修的 C义务的 D有责任的 51 The writer didn t have to take the exams, _. A so she didn t work hard to get ready for them B but she thought she could do well and took the math exam C but she took the math exam and did best of all in it D so she found she finished the paper faster than the others C In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed(形成 )a circle about six meters across . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger nearly 15 meters across . That same year, another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land one large circle between two small circles. During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often. The circles are called “ crop circles” because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken； it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles? At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists.(In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don t believe them.) People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn t do it. They couldn t enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn t flatten the wheat without breaking it. Several times people reported seeing stranger objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space or the marks left by their spaceships. Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment(最新高科技设备 ). The equipment worth 1.8 million dollars got nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, crop circles formed in the field behind them, which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. 52 This passage is probably from _. A textbook B magazine C storybook D advertisement 53 Which of the following is true according to the passage? A Steven was driving his car when he discovered something strange. B In 1981, a farmer discovered some circles in one of his fields. C The circles usually appear in fields of vegetables or corn. D Farmers in America found circles in their fields more and more often. 54 At first, people thought that _ A farmers were making them to attract scientists. B these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space C the marks left outer spaceships. D some kids were making them as a joke 55 This passage is mainly about _. A crop circles B high-tech equipment C outer space D UFO 第卷（非机读卷 共 50 分） 一、听下面一段对话，根据题目要求在相应题号后的横线上记录关键信息。对话读三遍。（共8 分，每小题 2 分） Music Concert the Boy Goes to Kind of music: 1 _. Date: 2 _. Time: 3 _.
