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 Xiangiian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5:50 am 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 am, and after a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 am. Like most of his 28classmates, Liu arrives at school a full hour before lessons start at 8 am. In 2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was found that about77% 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 22% 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 Qun yu，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. （1）How many people in the survey had no comments? A . 1130.B . 149.C . 113.D . 991.（2）Whats the underlined sentence 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 plays happily, he will get a college diploma.（3）What is the authors opinion according to the passage? A . A college diploma doesnt mean a good job.B . The students should have less sleeping time.C . The author agrees with Lius mothers idea.D . The author disagrees with cutting school hours.4. （8分）根据短文内容，回答下列问题。(10分) The San Diego Zoo in California started a threeweek farewell party(告别派对) for two pandas.Twenty-seven-year-old mother panda Bai Yun and her son, six-year-old Xiao Liwu, would leave the zoo in late April and go back to China.Erica Kohler, leader of the San Diego Zoo, said that it is sad to see the two pandas leaving for China. Each year about 2 million visitors went to the zoo to see Bai Yun and Xiao Liwu. Bai Yun arrived at the San Diego Zoo in 1996.The cute panda soon became popular and one of the most popular animals in the zoo.

It found that an average Chinese walker ran out of patience at red lights after 90 seconds. But theres an interesting fact: the average Germans endurance ability(耐性) was around 60 seconds while the British only 45 seconds and the American 40 seconds.People will take no notice of the red lights when the waiting time exceeds(超过) their patience time. A lot of Chinese traffic lights are car-friendly instead of walker-friendly, said Ni Ying, who led the research team. As there are more and more car users in the city, city planners are giving them more convenience on the roads, according to her.The study also found that at some crossings, walkers waited longer than 150 seconds, and at other crossings the wait could be as long as 200 seconds. However, most red lights abroad do not exceed 120 seconds.The study suggested that planners should think about the walking pace(步幅) of people from different age groups, especially middle-aged people and seniors, in order to make the roads more walker-friendly. But the citys traffic police do not agree. They argue that the roads are built not just for the walkers, but also for cars. To give more time for walkers would cut down the time for cars, a traffic policeman said. On a busy traffic day, it can make traffic worse.（1）Who are the most patient among the people from four different countries? A . The Chinese.B . The German.C . The British.D . The American（2）According to the passage, Chinese walkers walk the red light because_. A . they are not afraid of the traffic policeB . they are not friendly to car usersC . there is often something wrong with the red lightsD . the waiting time at the crossings is too long（3）What does them in Paragraph 4 refer to? A . City planners.B . Walkers.C . Car users.D . The research team.（4）How could roads become more friendly to walkers according to the study? A . By taking away the traffic lights.B . By making the roads wider and look nicer.C . By changing the waiting time according to peoples walking pace.D . By stopping the middle-aged people from walking across the roads.（5）Which of the following will the traffic police agree with? A . Its right to give more time to walkers.B . Reducing time for car users will make traffic worse.C . We should encourage people to walk instead of driving.D . We should build more roads to meet the need of different people.三、 词汇运用（共 15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） (共2题；共15分)6. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使对话通顺、正确。每词仅用一次。 although quiet do outgoing differentA: Who is your best friend, Tom?B: Larry.A: Why?B: Because he likes _the same things as I do.
