It was late at night and I had nowhere to go. A number of people walked past me and stared interestedly at me. I was very frightened. Anything could have happened to me that night, but I met you. I still remember your words as you walked past me for a second time. “Excuse me. It is so dangerous for a girl to walk on the street at night. Would you like to spend the night at my house?”You were a sensible-looking young woman. It seemed to obvious to me that I could trust you. You took me to your flat and let me sleep on the floor. You made me a cup of tea and left me to sleep somewhere safe and warm.In the morning, you convinced me to do “the right thing”. As I was leaving, you hesitantly admitted that a friend of yours had died and you had been “in a bad place” that night. You suggested that my presence had stopped you doing “something stupid” and I felt that we had helped each other. That knowledge helped me return to school.For some reason I didnt tell anyone where I had spent the night. I was worried they would criticize you for not calling the police. I told my mother about you several years later and I knew she wished that she could thank you for keeping me safe.I hope you understand that I am grateful. My life could have been very different if someone else had found me that night. I hope you have recovered from your friends death. I hope youre OK now. And I hope you read this so that I can finally say “thank you”.46.

The writer trusted the woman mainly because _.A. she was very kind to the writer B. she told the writer about her secretC. she was sad about her friends death D. she persuaded the writer to do the right thing48.The underlined phrase “in a bad place” can be replace by “ _ ”.A. in a bad position B. in a bad moodC. in a bad manner D. in a bad relationship 49.

Frightened BTwinkle, Twinkle Little Star is a charming song for children, but it contains two misunderstandings. First, stars arent little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Second, they dont twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age and likely fate.Viewing the stars from Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter because the atmosphere is dense(稠密的) compared to the emptiness of space. Moreover, air is always moving, son starlight appears to be moving, too. The atmosphere also makes stars appear dimmer than they would be if we could see them from space.If you stop and examine the sky on a dark and moonless night, its easy to recognize color differences among stars. The color of a star is a visual signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible stars. Many red stars are so dim that people cant see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars differ in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.Some stars appear brighter to human beings simply because theyre closer. Astronomers rank the brightness of stars which are seen form Earth by assigning them a number known as apparent magnitude(视星等) - the smaller the apparent magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a measure that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With an apparent magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky.51. From the song quite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that _.A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter B. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than EarthC. stars are very large and always shine brightlyD. starlights brightness and color reflect its temperature52. The underlined phrase “a water filter” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.A. the atmosphere B. the cloud C. the air D. the earth53. From Paragraph 3, we can know that _.A. a red star often sends out much brighter lightB. a blue or white star is hotter than a red or yellow starC. a yellow star like the sun is the hottest in spaceD. a blue star is much bigger than stars in other colors54. Apparent magnitude is designed to measure _.A. how far a star is from Earth B. how far a star is from other starsC. how bright a star is seen from Earth D. how bright a star is compared to other stars55. Which is the best title of this passage?A. What do stars look like? B. Which song do children like best?C. How to view the stars from Earth? D. Why are many stars so dim at night?CI recently read a book named Silent Spring writer by Rachel Carson. In this book, she warned that some chemicals used in pesticides(杀虫剂) were polluting the air, the water, the earth, and all creatures on earth. After reading the book, I felt deeply concerned. So you may ask, “Are pesticides really dangerous to use?” My answer is yes. And here are my reasons. Do harm to life in water.Pesticides do not stay in one place. Their particles(颗粒) fly through the air when they are used, sinking into the soil in the end. The chemicals are then carried away by runoff water, often into rivers and oceans, where they can kill water plants. In the US, for example, pesticides flow into the Mississippi River every year. They then travel to the Gulf Coast, where the rest chemicals kill off yards of wetlands. According to experts, plants in rivers and oceans provide 80 percent of the oxygen content. When pesticides harm these plants, life in rivers and oceans will be harmed as a result. Pesticides not only go into water sources, causing problems there, but they also cause problems on land. When species on land often contact these chemicals, the result can be those animals lowered weight, lowered power to fight diseases, loss of attention, and even death.Do harm to humansHumans are immune(免疫的) to the effects that wildlife experiences. Pesticides may become part of the food eaten by humans. They remain and increase gradually in our bodies. Some chemicals in pesticides can cause cancer. They may also harm skin and lungs. Recent studies have shown that pesticides can affect human brainwave activity and cause loss of memory and inability to concentrate.Now we can conclude that pesticides are really dangerous to use. They should be replaced for the sake of nature and our health.56. When reading the book Silent Spring, the writer was extremely _.A. interested B. bored C. inspired D. worried57. Chemicals in pesticides can do harm to life in water mainly because _ .A. their particles fly into rivers and oceans B. pesticides are used to kill animals in waterC. running water carries them to rivers and oceansD. food with such chemicals is used to feed life in water58. What would be the best subtitle for paragraph 3?A. Do harm to plants in water B. Do harm to the environment C. Do harm to wildlife on land D. Do harm to food for wildlife59. Recent studies show that pesticides can lead to A. cancer in humans B. poor memory in humansC. decrease in humans weight D. damage to humans skin and lungs60. Whats the writers purpose in writing the passage?A. To persuade us not to use pesticides. B. To encourage us to read Silent Spring.C. To explain why we shouldnt use pesticides.D. To prove that pesticides are dangerous to use.DPet lovers are always arguing whether cats are better than dogs. Now there is a report showing that it may be a difficult choice - at least when it comes to drinking water.In 2010, a team of researchers observed how some cats drank water. What they discovered was that cats had found an efficient and nice way to drink water. They began by gently touching the surface of the water with their tongue and then quickly action allowed some water to stick to the tongue. To ensure it would not roll out, the cats shut their mouth firmly after each drinking.After finding out how cats drank water, nobody made an effort to find out how dogs drank water, largely because researchers believed they drank in a similar way. However, it turns out that this is not the case.A recent study was performed by a team of researchers from Virginia Tech and Purdue University. The scientists began by studying the drinking habits of various dog kinds and sizes. What they discovered was that dogs hit their tongue past the waters surface. It made them really dirty.While this was surely a win for cats, dogs, on the other hand, drank much more water each time. It allows dogs to quench their thirst faster. The one thing they do have in common is the ability to close their mouth before the water rolls out.In conclusion, while cats have found how to drink water in a nice manner, dogs drink water as quickly as they can. The scientists are not sure about the reason for the difference in their drinking methods. Some believe it may have to do with the fact that cats care about their fur, while others think it may be because cats hate water. Dogs, on the other hand, love getting wet.61. In Paragraph 1, its reported that _.A. pet lovers usually prefer cats to dogs B. cats have proved to be cleverer than dogsC. cats are better at drinking water than dogsD. its hard to decide whether cats or dogs are better62. According to the 2010 study, researchers found that _.A. cats liked playing water joyfully when drinkingB. cats didnt wet themselves when drinking waterC. cats drank water very slowly no matter how thirsty they wereD. cats sometimes rolled water out of their mouth when drinking63. What does the writer mean by saying “this if not the case” in Paragraph 3?A. Dogs are usually better than cats.B. Dogs drink water differently from cats.C. Researchers dont know well abut dogs.D. Some people are more interested in how dogs drink.64. The underlined word “quench” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”.A. knowB. replaceC. stopD. check65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. Dogs are the quickest drinkers among all animals.B. Both cats and dogs love to play water when they drink.C. Cats drink water slowly because they care about their fur.D. There is no certain reason why cats drink water differently from dogs.第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先，阅读先几部中国功夫片的简介：A.
