I have been very naughty and the school master is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket. It caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon the whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade. The school is a long way from the town and before the fire brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.Im very sorry for this. Much love Sarah 21Why did Sarah write to his parents?AHe missed them very much for they hadnt seen each other for a long time.BHe told his parents what he had done in school.CHe was tired of studying, and wanted to leave school.DHe thought he was old enough to help them do something.22Where did Sarah smoke?AIn the classroom. BIn the Dining hall. CIn the street. DIn the dormitory. 23Why was the school master angry with him?ABecause he was too naughty. BBecause he was too lazy.CBecause he caused a big fire. DBecause he stole something from the school.24How much did he have to pay for school?A$1,000,000. B1,000,000. C￥1,000,000. D$ 100,000.BSchool education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula(公式) by heart. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a mathematics problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didnt get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for mankind. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.25. According to the passage, a good teacher should be one who is to_.A. have his students studying long hoursB. help his students to gain a good memoryC. train his students ability to learnD. teach his students everything he knows26. If a student wants to learn better, the most important thing for him to do is _.A. to learn all the useful facts and formulas by heartB. to do everything as his teachers have said in classC. to absorb as much knowledge from his teachers as possibleD. to think more while he is studying27.The main reason for the success of the great scientists is that _.A. the teacher who had taught them were all experiencedB. they used to work and study without a moments restC. they had received more schooling than ordinary peopleD. they know how to study and worked hardC“Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when you try to judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in novel writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. But dont make the mistake of thinking he might not be that clever. With a pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well.Other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front. A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.We may conclude that: you cant judge someone by appearances. The only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing how he reacts to(反应) different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(准确的)your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Dont judge the book by its cover.28. The best title for this passage is_.A. Judging cleverness B. Choosing a bookC. A speechless young man D. Putting up a good front29. The young man mentioned in the passage_.A. is stupid B. is a good student C. is a good writer D. is successful with girls30. The passage suggests that in judging a persons intelligence we should_.A. make quick judgments B. be creative C. have patience and be careful D. give him a test31. The main idea of the passage is _.A. dont judge a book by its cover B. dont judge a persons cleverness by appearanceC. people may fool you by putting up a good frontD. make sure you know someone well before observing himDWe gather a great deal of incidental(附带的；偶然的) knowledge from petsIf we look after them properly we learn what they like and dislikeWe do not set out to gain this knowledge purposely, but in attending to our pets we gain it by the way. It is got without our realizing itIn keeping our dogs or cats we learn about various diseases that can affect them and the cures for these diseasesWe learn how much sleep they need and what kind of food keeps them healthyIn looking after our fish we learn about the composition of water. We get to know what kinds of fish can live peacefully together and what kinds are hostile（敌对的）to each otherWe learn that animal，fish and birds have a lot of things in common with human beingsIf children keep pets, their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledgeOne little incident after another in which their pets are involved adds to their store of learningIt is a more interesting form of learning than that given in the biology lesson in schoolPeople who keep pets should have a sense of responsibility towards themChildren，too，should be taught to be responsiblePets are completely dependent on their owners and the owners should respond to this dependence by looking after themIrresponsible behavior towards pets is a form of cruelty(残忍)In deciding to keep a pet we take on a task，we make ourselves responsible for providing proper food and shelter for the petIn a crowded city like Hong Kong, where there is so little room for the exercise required by large pets，we should think twice before undertaking the responsibility of keeping one32In keeping pets，we learn that _Apets dislike human beings Bpets share what we haveChuman beings can gain knowledge by keeping petsDpets and human beings gather a great deal of incidental knowledge33For children _Akeeping pets widens their general knowledgeBkeeping pets adds to their troubleCall kinds of knowledge are obtained by keeping petsDincidental knowledge is more important than general knowledge34In keeping pets，responsibility means _Adepending on them Btaking care of themCwriting to them Dteaching them35In the last paragraph, the word “twice” can best be replaced by“ _”A. later B. two times Csecond D carefully第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（注： E=AB; F=CD; G=AD）The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 36 Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes. For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.A. Its natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.第三部分 完形填空 ( 满分30分)A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes full 41 of the facts he observes. He doesnt accept ideas which are not 42 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only 43 for truth. He always 44 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.The rise of 45 science may perhaps be considered to 46 as far back as the 47 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who live 48 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the middle 49 to suggest that we must learn science 50 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 51 many important discoveries.Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several great men, 52 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 53 to show how many important 54 could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 55 towards the earth than small ones, 56 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 57 of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 58 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileos 59 of going direct to Nature, and proving our 60 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.41. A. use B. time C. speed D. trust42.
