Charlie, a fifth-grade newsannouncer, sat at the desk. “Our show seems to be missing something,”he said.“Itseems like we should end our 35 in a cheerful way. We shouldgive the students 36 toenjoy. Since the show isschoolwide, we could help everyone begin the day in a positive(积极的) way.” “What do you mean, Charlie?

Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide. Eager (渴望的) to be part of Chinese culture, I bought a bicycle. I at once jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly. To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running quickly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.45. According to the writer, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A. Because they are traditional and safe. B. Because they are easy and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and useful. D. Because they are fast and cheap.46. The writer decided to buy a bicycle because he hoped _.A. to ride it for fun B. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his riding skills47. Which of the following best describes the writers biking experience?A. The writer enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The writer was angry by the air while riding.C. The writer was praised by other bikers.D. The writer took great pleasure in biking.BIf youve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are“talking”online many of them are talking at the same time.Its fast: trying talking to six people once. Its easy: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. Theres neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom youre talking to? Type A/S/L, the common question to know your pals age, sex(性别) and location(地点). You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal. If something makes you laugh, say youre OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing). And when its time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital (大写的) letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the“shift”key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going too.48. The sentence “Theres neither time nor space for explanations” means that _.A. people should use words properly B. people should know what time it is when they are talking C. people online have to express themselves in a simple way D. people should communicate in a funny way 49. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means _.A. the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl50. Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard. C. Many people draw pictures. D. People never use the “shift” key.CEinstein often received invitations to explain his theories(原理) at different universities. On these trips, his driver was always the same man called Hans. Hans often said to him. “It is a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Dr Einstein.”One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “Im so tired. I wish I could avoid giving my lecture tonight, Hans, but I dont want to let my audience (观众) down.”“I know what to do,” said Hans. “I can give the speech for you. You can trust me. Ive listened to your lecture so many times that Ive learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they wont find out.”So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his speech without difficulty, and joined in the applause(掌声) at the end.However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “Id like to ask you a question.” He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about.Einstein turned pale. “Oh, no! ? ,” he thought. “Now were in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “Thats such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please”Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to drive. “No,” laughed Einstein. “Its a pleasure to drive a talent like you, Hans.”51. Which of the following is the most suitable for “ ? ”?A. Lies have short legsB. Rome was not built in a dayC. A miss is as good as a mileD. Life is not all roses52. Just as the mind map, the story can be divided into five parts: opening, rising action, turning point, falling action and ending. Which do you think is the turning point of it ?Turning pointRising actionFalling actionOpeningEndingA. Einstein answered the question perfectly.B. A man asked a difficult question.C. Hans offered to give a lecture for Einstein.D. Hans asked Einstein to answer the question.53. What would be the best title for this story?A. Great MindsB. An unforgettable Lecture C. Two Talents D. An Easy QuestionDSome people love going to museums, while others really hate it and would rather stay athome, enjoying their favourite TV shows. So museums are being seen as outdatedandboring by todays young people. I have just returned to the UK after travelling around the USA. While I was there, I visited lots of museums. I must say, museums are educational, either to developknowledge learned at school, or to improve knowledge of other cultures. In Chicago, we visited the world-famous Art Institute of Chicago. It wasfull of paintings, drawings and sculptures by a large number of artists, such as Picasso, Monet, Matisse and Dali. There was a mixture of traditional and modern art. When we were in Washington D.C., we visited a few of the Smithsonian museums. These areall free to visitors, which is great if you just want to see a few things, and not spend all day inside. The Air and Space Museum was particularly good: it had lots of planes on show, interesting information and also some interactive(互动) parts. We also went to the National U. S. Holocaust(纳粹大屠杀) Memorial Museum. Naturally, it was sad to read about the horrorswhich influenced so many people in World War II. However, it was also interesting to readthe stories of those who survived the Holocaust, as well as those who helped others. Last but not least, I also found the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to be of great interest. Thismuseum is for those who lost their lives, as well as their families, when the Twin Towers inNew York City were attacked by terrorists(恐怖分子) in 2001. It tells you how the terrorists planned the attack and what happened as a result of their actions. Survivingpieces of the towers are shown in the museum. It was a trulymeaningful visit, which made me value my own life that little bit more. I think museums play an important role in realizing historical importance for futurepeople. Whatever your interests, there may be a museum for you. You can visit waxwork(蜡像)museums to see models of famous people (and get photos with the Queen!), sciencemuseums for an interactive visit and so much more! Best of all, if youre ever in theUK, many of them are free!54. The first paragraph tells us that . A. people of all ages love going to museums B. trips to museums are always very tiring C. most museums in the USA are outdated D. some young people find museums boring55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. There are a lot of interactive parts in waxwork museums. B. Art Institute of Chicago has a mixture of traditional and modern art. C. Youd better read the stories before visiting the holocaust Memorial Museum. D. The Air and Space Museum shows the twin towers were attacked by terrorists.56. What can we infer(推断) from the passage? A. Future people have the duty to protect museums. B. Visiting 9/11 Memorial and Museum is educational. C. Most museums around the world are free for students. D. Taking photos is allowed in the Smithsonian museums.57. What is the writers attitude(态度) towards museums? A. She suggests going to museums. B. She warns the problems of museums. C. Museums have advantages and downsides. D. Museums should be open to all kinds of people.第卷 （主观题 共40分）五、词汇运用 （本大题共8分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1.
