I” or “What perfect skills he has?” Yeah, I 21 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 22 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 23 and how much they know about football besides 24 goals. It seems funny that we are 25 about things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 26 but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of lifes 27 We need these pleasures to 28 our lives. But that doesnt amount to craziness or nonsense. As a saying 29 ; “Dont judge a book by its cover.” We 30 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is ones good 31 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore wed better say 32 about Beckhams good looks.If we close our eyes, falling in deep 33 , we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 34 meaning. If we dont go deeper and are just satisfied with 35 things, sooner or later well find we have not really gained anything because our first 36 has blinded and misled us, and well remain ignorant(无知的) 37 we realizethat and make some changes.It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a 38 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it pains us, we will 39 prove how much we have 40 up, how much more sensible, mature（成熟的), and intelligent we have become.21.

All Star Readers BParents should stop blaming themselves because theres not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.Ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself（懒散地躺） on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I dont know what to do with him these days,” she said. “Hes forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasnt forgotten them. Hes just decided that hes not going to use them. She confessed (供认) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say “I dont like your dress; its ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.45. This passage is most probably written by _.A. a specialist in teenager studies B. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage children D. a doctor for mental health problems46. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as _.A. lazy B. rude C. unusual D. quiet47. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “_”.A. the parents opinion B. the terrible animalC. the teenage problem D. the parents advice48. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _.A. pay no attention to them B. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate them D. feel helpless to do much about them CThereisawonderfulstoryaboutayounggirlwhohadnofamilyandnoonetoloveher.Oneday,feelingverysadandlonely,shewaswalkingthroughagrasslandwhenshenoticedasmallbutterflycaughtinathorn（荆棘）bushTheyounggirlcarefullyreleasedthebutterfly.Insteadofflyingaway,thelittlebutterflychangedintoa beautifulfairyTheyounggirlrubbedhereyesindisbeliefForyourwonderfulkindness,thegoodfairysaidtothegirl,IwillgiveyouanywishyouwouldlikeThelittlegirlthoughtforamomentandthenreplied,IwanttobehappyThefairyleanedtowardherandwhisperedinherearThenthefairydisappearedAsthelittlegirlgrewup,therewasnooneinthelandashappyassheEveryoneaskedhersecretofhappiness.

This helps us decide what to wear. _56_ . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._57_ .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._58_.First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole._59_.Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily._60_.As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.A. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.B. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.C. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal(把.粘住) them together.G. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.五、语法填空 ：阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为110的相应位置上，每题1.5分，共15分。 One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival.
