One lady told me she thought I was 12 and even told her 14-year-old daughter the same. I saw lots of surprised faces because people were told I was actually 19 years old.Im actually 19 years old, which isnt much of a problem. Im like the oldest of my friends and the shortest, which is pretty funny. Thats probably one of the reasons I fit in so well with them.I volunteered at a weekend school teaching young children. Parents always looked me up and down like “why is this 13-year-old girl teaching my child?!?!?” I guessed it was because Im also petite(娇小)，and I didnt know whether I had a childish face? Sometimes I found it funny, sometimes I found it annoying(令人气恼). But I just shrugged(耸肩)it off at last. You know, soon enough people got to know me and then realized I was not actually a 13-year-old girl.This short thing used to be a problem for me, though. I was very very small when I was younger, so kids would pick on me. When I was 12, 8-year-old girls would look down at me like “I CANT BELIEVE YOURETWELVE!” I had always wanted to be tallBut now that Im older, I got used to it, and I actually love itYou know, Im fun sized! 56How old is the writer now?A12B13C14D1957Many people felt surprised when told the writers age because they thought she _Awas certainly over 19Bshould be only 12Cwas sure under 12Dmust be 1458Which of the following words cant be used to describe（描绘） the writer?AshortBpetiteCchildishDtall59The underlined phrase “pick on” means _Alike very muchBhelp friendlilyCbehave to unkindlyDenjoy very much60How does the writer feel when others say she is 12?ANot surprisedBAnnoyingCAngryDSadBWe are going to see the ruins of Machu Picchu in the mountains of the AndesMachu Picchu was forgotten for centuries but discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, a professor from YaleIt is said to be one of the most beautiful ancient sites in the worldThe Incas built the ancient civilization of Machu Picchu between the 12th century and the early 16th centuryThey spoke a language called Quechua but had no writing system at allThey kept records on various coloured strings with knots called quipuThe Incas proved to be wonderful architectsThey built most of their buildings with huge stones but without using any cement（粘结材料） to stick them togetherHowever, the huge stones fit together so perfectly that you cannot force a sharp knife between two blocksThey also built bridges, tunnels through mountains and channels to bring water to their citiesjust as the Romans didThe Incas turned the mountains into farmlands and planted corn and potatoes, and raised animals like llama and alpaca for foodNow Machu Piccu has become a major tourist site in Peru, attracting people from all over the world61How long ago was Machu Picchu discovered?AAbout 20 years agoBAbout 50 years agoCAbout 70 years agoDAbout a century ago62How long a history does the ancient civilization of Machu Picchu have at least?A1 century B3 centuriesC5 centuriesD7 centuries63With what did the Incas build their wonderful buildings?AstringsBstonesCcementsDtrees64The Incas built the following like the Romans except _ according to the passageAroadsBbridgesCtunnelsDchannels65What does the speaker probably do?AA visitorBA guideCA teacherDA scientistCThe Olympic flame arrived at Culdrose in Cornwall from Athens on a golden plane called The Firefly on Friday in four custom-made lanternsIt was carried off the plane by Princess Anne, IOC Member and the president of the British Olympic Association, and then used to light a cauldron to mark the start of the Olympic Torch Relay by football hero David Beckham“Eight thousand inspirational torchbearers（火炬手） are all set to bring the magic of the Games to everyones doorstep,” said Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, who was at Culdrose to welcome the London 2012 delegation（代表团）“With every step, the excitement will buildTen weeks from now, the world will watch as the flame arrives at the Olympic Stadium, bringing with it the hopes of a nationA gold-liveried air rescue Sea King helicopter（直升机） flew the torch to Lands End early on Saturday, where at 708am it was passed to the triple Olympic gold medalist sailor Ben Ainslie, the first of 8,000 torch-bearers, in front of 3,500 peopleIts amazing,” he said“For me, growing up in this part of the world, in Cornwall, for the Olympic Torch to set off from here around the nation, is a fantastic moment for the UK, for London 2012Very exciting Ainslie carried the torch 300m before kissing it on to Anastasi Swallow, a junior surf champion who has represented her country four times“This is really when the Games begin,” said Paul Deighton, the London 2012 Organising Committees chief executive“Through these 70 days well see some magic in our communities”66Who carried th
