I know it wasnt a dog that had done it, because the rest of the sheep were _36_. It could have been a(n) _37_ or it could have been the Godfreys, Turpins, Harries or Freedoms. They were the families that did everything _38_ in the country.Fred and I walked along the fence, looking for a break. Some of the fence stones at a pile had been knocked loose together with a little wool on a branch of the fence. Outside the fence were _39_ marks of work boots among a lot of _40_ footprints. It was quite clear that it was the _41_ of only one man, whose footprints kept _42_ Fred until he was sure that were all _43_.On the way to report to the police, I did some _44_. All the Freedoms were already in prison. The Harries were all _45_ and the doctor said that none of them could get out of bed for a week. So it was either a Turpin or a Godfrey.But soon after a visit to Albert Wrigleys store, I found we were not 100% right. We happened to find, in the shop window, two work boots, both for the right feet. Where were the other two for the left feet? Albert told us that the Turpins had gone to Danbury and were still there.So that night after everyone was in bed, Fred and I stole into the Goldfreys place where a large basin of blood was _46_ in the yard. Soon after that I found my sheeps skin on top of a pile of rubbish.The next morning before the police caught him, Sam, the youngest Godfrey boy, had been trying to run away in those left-footed work boots he had _47_ from Alberts store.36.

Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of his classmates. I was wrong. It was very different and much 48 than talking to my classmates during playtime, Li said. I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom 49 Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same 50 : they can talk about their ideas freely 51 their best friends after class, but cant speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of 52 . Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their 53 , such as speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. Students can join in any one they want to. And he also gives some advice to students. During your free time you should 54 more. When youre speaking in public, take it easy. Just imagine youre talking to nobody and speak up your ideas clearly, Zhou said. That 55 a fine public speech and youll feel confident. 48. A. harder B. easier C. better D. Later49.

Makes第四部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选题，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.56.According to the passage, Elias Howe was_.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams57.The problem Howe was trying to solve was_.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle58.Thomas Edison is spoken of because_.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howes best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep59.Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because _.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themBAnimation(动画) means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.Since earliest times, people have always been surprised by movement. But not until this century have we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector.In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Ficischer in 1933.But to be an animator, you dont have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film through a projector. 60. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. People were unable to cause the movement to last or record it in the last century.B. Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon character.C. It is impossible to make cartoon characters do what they are designed to do.D. In ancient times people were surprised by movement.61. According to the passage, Felix the Cat_.A. was created by the American cartoonist FelixB. was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth centuryC. was unable to do what natural cats could not doD. was created in the United States in the nineteenth century62. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Walt Disneys cartoon characters were born earlier that Pat SullivansB. only professionals can create cartoon charactersC. Popeye the Sailor and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonistsD. the cartoon industry started in the United States63. Which of the following statements best describes the authors attitude towards cartoon making?A. Cartoon making is an easy job. Anyone can do it.B. Only trained people can be employed in cartoon making industry.C. Anyone can make cartoons under the instructions of professionals.D. Cartoon making is no easy job. You have to spend much time drawing onto the empty film.COne of Britains bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to 30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide hunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to walk silently into Biebers bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who came at 3 pm the day before New Years Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didnt seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact .” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?. My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the mans room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐).”64.The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means_.A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own65.Vickis heart missed a beat because _.A. the phone went again B. she would be famousC. the policemen had already arrived D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park66.David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _.A. the passageB. the mans room C. Vickis bedroom D. the top floor room67.The whole event probably lasted about _ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14DWhen nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area. But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying (腐烂) and adding humus (腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years.It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way. Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation (轮作) of crops.68. According to the passage, the land will become poorer_.A. if all the dead leaves are cleared away B. if the humus is increased after the harvestC. if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselvesD. if waste plant material lying about is buried69. We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered_.A. when grasses and other plants appear againB. when the treatment is given by nature aloneC. after new grasses and other plants have decayed againD. after nature has been left alone for several months 70. A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because_.A. the productive power of a new field
