There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.46. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick B.

Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the worlds fastest growing economy. Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future. Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world.“China has replaced Britain as the worlds fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nations children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.“A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.” Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language. In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.”51.

Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.“We dont get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrers research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.56. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.B. Because her parents used to quarrel.C.

We get sick or stay well by ourselves.B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.58. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means _.A. surprise B. faint C. tiredness D. sadness 59. The best title for this passage is _.A. Family relations. B. The reasons why we get sick.C. Family- another cause to health D. A research about health.60. This passage is probably from _. A. a novel B. a magazine C. a text book D. a dictionarySection2 Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with proper words to finish the following table: (within 3 words in each blank) (10分)If you eat properly and exercise regularly, you will lose weight , keep fit and feel great.As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. If you skip meals, you dont get enough energy, and then you feel tired. For a healthy diet, you should eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit.
