Whoever二、阅读理解（45分，每题1.5分） AThere were three big fish in the lakeOne of them，Demo，was wise；another one，Jimmy，was halfwise；Martin，the third one，was stupid Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their netsThe three fish saw them Demo decided at once to leave，to make the long and difficult trip to the oceanHe thought，I wont discuss with these two about thisThey love this place so much that they call it home and will stay onHow silly they are!They still havent realized we are in great danger nowTheir ignorance will cost them their lives Seeing the wise fish had left，Jimmy thought，My guide has gone and now Ive lost my chance to escapeHe felt sorry for it and then thought，What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets？Perhaps I should pretend （假装）to be already dead，giving myself totally to the waterSo he did thatHe went up and down with the water，helpless，within arms reach of the fishermenLook at this!The best and biggest fish is deadOne of the men lifted him by the tail，and threw him up on the groundHe rolled （滚动）over and over and moved secretly toward the water，and then，back in The third fish was aimlessly jumping about，trying to escape with his speed and clevernessThe net，of course，finally closed around him，and as he lay in the hot fryingpan bed，he thought，If I get out of this，Ill never live again in the limits of the lakeNext time，the ocean!Ill make it my home46The passage is aAdiaryBstoryCnotice47The underlined wordignorancein the passage meansin ChineseA冲动B勇气C愚昧48Jimmy thought that he could escape from the fishermen byAtraveling to the oceanBpretending to be deadCjumping here and there49Who was caught by the fishermen at last？ADemoBJimmyCMartin50What can we learn from the passage？AIt is important to make proper changes in timeBGood chances are always given to the honestCThe stupid can also succeed with great efforts BWhen I opened my e-mail the other day, Rachel, a pretty woman, appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking happily. Sometimes she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. It was cool, right? In fact, she was reading to me an e-mail from my brother John.Rachel could be there because of a new technology called Facemail lets you send in a funny way. By using it, your e-mails can be read to the receiver by an attractive person or by a clown. You can download the software at www.F without paying. Facemail faces are lively and they can simulate the emotions that you put in you text. For example, type in , and Rachel blows a kiss.LifeFX, the company that developed the Facemail, is sure there are wide business uses. Why is e-business not so popular now? One of the reasons is that buying online has no human touch. But if you go to the Nike website, and the famous basketball star Michael Jordan greets you by name, serves you, and personally closes the sale, wont you be happy? Also, if mom cant be home when kids get back from school, she can leave a note with a voice and picture on the screen to tell them what there is to eat.Its true that Facemail makes life easy and fun, but it should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you choose the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, youre got a Psycho mail.51.In fact, who is Rachel?A. She is a pretty actress.B. She is Johns girlfriend.C. She is not a real person.52.What is the main advantage of Facemail?A. You dont need to pay for it.B. E-mail can be attractive in a more lovely way.C. You can ask a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you.53.What does the underlined expression “closes the sale” probably mean?A. 停止营业B. 达成交易C. 取消折扣54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You shouldt choose a clown.B. Facemail can be widely used in business.C. Mom can show her kids how to cook by Facemail.55.What is the writers attitude（态度）towards Facemail?A. He thinks its a danger to the Internet.B. He thinks it needs further improvement.C. He thinks its a cool and funny technology. C Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries. They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy. For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And dont forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one.56. What is the passage mainly about? A. Happiness. B. Shyness. C. Kindness. D. loneliness.57. What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends. C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.58. What can be learned from the passage? A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet. B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever. C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters. D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.59. We can learn from the passage that _ may cause shyness. A. genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B. genetics, family size and birthplace C. family size, grown-ups and failure D. genetics, family size and freedom60. Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by_. A. blaming their failure on outside reasons B. trying new things and practicing conversation C. getting themselves away from their shy parents D. trying to understand reasons for their shyness D My favourite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark TwainTom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, MissouriHes a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险)He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several daysWith Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a caveand finally，they find a box of gold My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is deadHe decides to go to his own funeralHe hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears Everyone is surprised to see him but theyre also pleased to see him alive Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important charactersHuck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of himBecky is pretty with fair hair，Joe is Toms best friendand Injun Joe is the bad man of the story. The theme of the story is about children growing upIt describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behaviour. Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but its still read and loved by people all over the world today And although its only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real
