A new student, the son of a businessman, took his seat in the classroom of Grade 4. The teacher soon came to the class and said, Ill begin by going over the American history we have learnt. Who said Give me liberty (自由), or give me death? What she saw were only blank faces except Toshibas. He held up his hand and then said, Patrick Henry, 1775. Good, said the teacher. Who said Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish(毁灭) from the earth? There was no answer. Again Toshiba raised his hand and said, Abraham Lincoln, 1863. The teacher said to the class, holding back her anger, You should be ashamed of yourselves. Toshiba is new to our country, but he knows more about our country. As she turned to write something on the blackboard, she heard a whisper (嘀咕), Damned Japanese. Who said that? she asked.Toshiba put his hand up. Tom, in the second row, 2005, he said.56. The story took place in _.A. a Japanese school B. an American school C. a French school D. an English school57.

From the passage, we can know _.A. Japanese have much more knowledge than AmericansB. who was Patrick Henry and who was Abraham LincolnC. new students are better than old studentsD. some American children dont know much about the history of their countryBLet us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.60. From the passage we know that our dreams .A. are imagination of our daily life B. are mans curious look into the futureC. have nothing to do with our feelings D. are connected with our feelings to some degree61. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that _ .A. you are in a state of being cold B. you are in a state of being tiredC. you are in a state of hunger D. you will be invited to party that day62. Older children often dream of examinations probably because _. .A. they are interested in exams B. they are often worried about their studiesC. they hope for better life D. they show much interest in their studies63. Some scientists explanation of dreams .A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable B. gives an exact description (描述)of our lifeC. provides us with information of dreamsD. is of no use for usC One of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues which stand on Easter Island. Easter Island, which was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, is the most distant island in the world covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.Who built these statues and why and how did they get there? Nobody knows the answer for sure. One theory suggests that Easter Island was first inhabited by Polynesians, who traveled thousands of miles in their canoes（独木舟）in 400 A.D. However, the ocean currents（洋流）which carried them there would not take them back, so that they could not leave. The statues appear to have been made out of the top edge of the walls of a volcano on the island. Then, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the foot of the volcano. Then, it was stood upright（直立）and ropes were tied around it, which was made to act as a pulley（滑轮）. Over a period of months, a statue could be walked for miles down to the ocean. Finally, it was placed in line with other statues, all of them looking towards the center of the island. This process was difficult. If a statue fell over, it was too heavy to be pulled upright again, so the islanders went back and carved another statue. The population of Easter Island must have reached 11,000. Later, the resources of the island were used up and people began fighting and eating each other. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of these people had died out. 64. This passage is mainly about _ .A. the discovery of Easter Island B. the statues on Easter IslandC. the history of Easter Islanders D. the earliest population on Easter Island65. Which of the following correctly tells of the possible working process after a statue was made? a. It was stood upright and ropes were tied around it. b. It was walked for miles down to the ocean. c. It was placed in line with other statues.d. It was moved to the foot of the volcano.A. c-d-a-b B. d-b-a-c C. a-c-b-d D. d-a-b-c 66. Its not a fact that _ .A. Easter Island is the most distant island in the world B. Easter is the name of a holidayC. not all the statues were placed in a line D. the island was once rich in natural resources67. The underlined word uninhabited most probably means _.A. mysterious B. lost C. unknown to the world D. with no people living thereD Then comes July, and with it examinations, but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers. The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of ones time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play. The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something that they will talk about for the whole of the following year. In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpoor or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so. Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under ones feet, of salt water on ones skin, and of the warm sun on ones back that make the seaside what it is.68. After the examination, pupils leave for home_A. by train only B. by air C. by bike D. by either train or car69. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can_.A. stay with their parents for all the vacation. B. do more reading C .play out-of-door D. meet their old friends70. Children like the seaside so much, because they can _.A. swim in the sea B. play with the sand C. take a sun bath D. do all of the above第二卷选词填空be fond of; in charge of; pay off; now that; feel like; in case; set sail; fall out; go through; make ones way to; work out; be devoted to1.
