The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel (毛巾）so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “Its Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didnt seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.41.

BHuntingThe days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely out earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives(动机).One of them wrote.“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animals own territory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tigershoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The socalled hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.45. There is no more hunting in India now partly because_.A. it is dangerous to hunt there B. hunting is already out of dateC.hunters want to protect animals D.there are few animals left to hunt46. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly_.A. to make the countryside safe B.to earn peoples admirationC.to gain power and influence D.to improve their health47. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?A. They hunt old animals B.They mistreat animalsC.They hunt for food D.They hunt for money48. What is the authors view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-faceB.Modern hunters should use more advanced weaponsC.Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigersD.Modern hunters should put their safety first CMinh Pham was born in Vietnam.He left his native country when he was 21 years old.Minh has been in America for almost two years.There is still much he does not understand about America.Once Minh was in a supermarket.He saw an old man and an old woman.They wanted a box of cereal(麦片)The box was on a high shelf.The man and the woman couldnt reach it.Minh saw a stepladder.He got on the ladder and got the box.He handed it to the elderly couple.They thanked him.“Where are your children？”asked Minh.“Why dont they help you buy food？”“Our children have their own lives，”said the man and the woman.“We like to be independent.”Minh doesnt think this is right.In his country，children help their parents.Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number.He told them to call him if they needed help.One night they asked Minh to dinner，but they never asked him for help.One day，Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend.The two were going to a movie.Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first.Minh took his friends hand.He pulled him toward the restaurant.People on the street stared at Minh.In Vietnam，friends often hold hands.Minh found out that people in America are not used to holding hands.Minh Pham is going through a process known as resocialization.Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society.Everyone goes through this process.Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam.But the Vietnamese way of life is much different from the American way of life.When Minh came to America，he had to learn a new way of life.He had to learn how to live in a new society.Minh has learned a lot about American life in two years.He still has a lot to learn.The process of resocialization can take many years.49The resocialization is the process in which one_.Alearns to live in a societyBtravels from one country to anotherClearns to act independentlyDtries to adapt to new surroundings 50What the elderly couple said and did gave us an example that American people，young or old，try to be_.Akind BindependentChelpful Dfriendly51According to the passage，people stared at Minh and his friend because Minh and his friend were_.AVienameseBdoing something unusualCpulling each otherDnot dressed like Americans52. How many years has Minh learned about American life ? A.in two years B. in three years C.more than two years D.more than one year DWatson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (大师) in 1977.He was given the silver cup.“It isnt rightly mine，”he said，when he was holding the cup.“It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in.”“A family was staying at my hotel at that time.Mrs.Prig，the mother，was told that I played chess，and she begged me to give her young son a game.Hes only ten.she said，Ive been told that he plays quite well.”“Well，as you can guess，I wasnt too happy.A player likes the opponent to play as well as he does.But it was holiday time and I agreed to play.We placed the board(棋盘)in the garden.The game began.I hoped it would be quickand so it was.”“I soon knew that David Prig was no learner.After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game.He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board. ”“Call me when you are ready, Mr. Watson，”he said.“When I was ready？I looked up.He had gone off to play with his sister.I studied the board，and found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David：a quick move，then tennis，back to the board，then back to his sister.My difficult condition became impossible to change.I was beaten.Oh，so easily，by a tenyearold chess player.He was the winnerin twentyeight minutes.”“David Prig，a name to remember.I had a chance to use his game today，and it won this cup for me.To him，of course，it is only one of a hundred，or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”53When Mr.Watson said，“It isnt rightly mine.It was won .”，he meant_two years before.Ahe had played chess with a little boy for twentyeight minutesBhe had had a chance to take part in an important gameChe had learned how to play chess from a childDhe had learned a good game from a child54Before the game, Mr. Watson was quite sure that_.Athe boy played as well as he did Bhe would be Southern Chess Master two years laterChe could win the game easily Dthe boy would win the game quickly55The word opponent in the passage means_.A成年人 B小孩C敌人 D对手56From the story, we know that_.ADavid Prig was the real winnerBMr. Watson was the real winnerCneither of them was the real winnerDboth of them were the real winners EIn middle childhood，pressures may come from a number of sourcesfrom within the child herself，as well as from parents，teachers，peers and the larger society in which the child lives.Pressure can take many forms that challenge children and to which they must respond and，often，adapt.Whether these are events of lasting consequences like the divorce of their parents，or merely a minor quarrel like losing their homework，these demands or stresses are a part of childrens daily existence.Children welcome some events and are able to adapt to them with relative ease.They see other events as threats to their own or the familys daily routines or general sense of wellbeing，and these stresses are more troublesome.Most stresses faced by children are in the middle，neither welcomed nor seriously harmful，but rather a part of accomplishing the tasks of childhood and learning about themselves.Youngsters may also worry about making friends，succeeding in school，fighting peer pressure or overcoming a physical harm.Whatever its form，if stress is too intense or longlasting，it can sometimes cause a heavy influence on children.Series of stressful events seem to cause children to get ill.Major events，especially those that forever change a childs family，like the death of a parent，can have lasting effects on childrens psychological health and wellbeing.Minor daily stresses can also have consequences.They can contribute to loss of sleep or appetite.Children may become angry or illtempered or their school grades may suffer.Their behavior and their willingness to cooperate may change.57We know from the passage that childrens pressure does NOT come from_.Athemselves Bthe activitiesCthe society Dparents58The writer thinks that the divorce of a childs parents_.Ahas long consequencesBis a small problemCaffects childrens homeworkDhas no influence on children59It can be inferred from the second paragraph that stresses are_.Aall troublesome Bseriously harmfulCa part of a childs growth Dwelcomed by children60This passage mainly talks about_.Adifferent forms of childhood pressuresBconsequences of childhood pressuresCways of dealing with childrens pressuresDmiddle childhood pressures and their influence on children第五节 情景对话(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分) 根据对话情景和内容,从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑. 选项中有两个为多余选项Jerry: Hi , Mike.
