I remember that I used to get up at eight when I was young. And we usednt to do homework. But now, everything has changed. For 12-year-old Liu Xiangjian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5:50 a.m. every school day. “I dont want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid of being late,” the six-grade Beijing primary school student said, “I want more sleep.” Liu has breakfast at 6:15 a.m., and after a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 a.m. Like most of his 28 classmates, Liu arrives at school a full hour before lessons start at 8 a.m. In 2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was found that about 77% students were short of sleep.In a recent survey made by the China Daily website, almost 70% of the 1,130 respondents said that they agreed with cutting school hours, while 20% disagreed and 10% had no comment. Although their children spend long hours at school, many parents arrange for them to take more studies. Lius mother, Wang Qunyu, who teaches at a high school in Beijing, thinks her son is still not doing enough to win a place at a good quality high school. “Of course I want my son to have more sleep, more exercise and more fun, she said, “but the common saying is that if you give your child a happy childhood in China, you give him failed future.” Something must be done to change peoples traditional thought that a college diploma（毕业证）is a ticket to a good job. 53. How many people in the survey had no comment? A 1130 B. 149 C. 113 D. 99154. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Liu Xiangjian likes to get up earlier. B. Lius mother thinks her son is working hard enough. C. Liu goes to school by bike. D. In Lius school, the first lesson starts at 8 a.m.55. The underlined expression” if you give your child a happy childhood in China, you give him failed future.” means _.A. If a child plays happily, he will fail the game. B. If a child doesnt spend more time on study, he will not have a good job in the future. C. If a child has more sleep, he will go to a good college in the future. D. If a child play happily, he will get a college diploma.56. What is the writers opinion according to the passage?A. A college diploma doesnt mean a good job.B. The students should have less sleeping timeC. The writer agrees with Lius mothers idea.D. The author disagrees with cutting school hours. DDo you know why different animals or pests(昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night. If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees. Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all. 57. From the passage we learn that locusts_. A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds C. are dangerous to their enemies D. change their colours to protect themselves 58. How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger? A. They run away quickly. B. They have the colours much like their enemies. C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night. D. They have to move quietly. 59. Bears and lions can keep safe because_. A. they have the colours much like the trees B. they move quietly C. they like brown and grey colours D. they live in forests 60. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests. B. Colours of Different Animals and pests. C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests. D. Some Animals and Pests. 五.词汇运用 (共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)A.用方框中所给单词适当形式填空，每个词只能用一次。 cry something message have a look at popular 61. If someone calls me, ask him to leave a _. 62.
