As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and is not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: What if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in mothers mind.One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time the mother agreed. But she couldnt help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment, the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, Im back.” “Yeah.” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes. Oh, whos that boy?” The daughter was stunned for a moment. “Ah. Its my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, Im going to bed.” “All right. Go to sleep early.”Next morning when the mother went to the daughters room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes hesitation she eventually opened it to the entry of the night before. It reads: Mum, its love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadnt.Holding the diary, the mother fell into thought.56. Which is the correct order according to the story?a. She took a lift back in her monitors car.b. She went to see a film with her classmate.c. She wrote in her diary to her mother.d. Her mother pretended to watch TV.e. Her mother worried about her daughters returning late.A. b, e, a, d, c B. e, b, a, d, c C. b, a, e, d, c D. b, e, a, c, d57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A. The girl knew her mother would ask her the question about the boy.B. What the daughter did recently had worried her mother.C. The mother was eager to read her daughters diary the next day.D. The girls diary was always unlocked.58.

But the people who live near the coast of Zhejiang may say it is red. It is not people who caused the colour change, but very small living thing in the sea. They are algae(藻类)and protozoa(原生动物). They come in many different colors; red, yellow or brown. Red is the easiest of those to see so when this happens people call it a “red tide.”Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right. In the past few years, factories and people have been putting more chemicals into the sea. These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly. The temperature of the sea is also important. Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Red tides often happen in dry, warm areas where there is little wind. Living things grow easily in these places. Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake. They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow.Those living things do more than change the colour of the water-they also put poison and mucus(黏液)into the sea. This is had for fish. The poison is bad for their brains. And too much mucus in the sea fills up fishs gills(鳃) so they cant breathe. Lots of dead fish and other sea animals are now washed up on Chinese beaches.Red tides can be bad for people too. We shouldnt eat fish from red-tide waters. The algae gets inside of fish and it smells bad. It can make your eyes water. If people eat fish with too much algae inside they could die.Fishermen in Zhejiang are having a hard time right now. Because of the red tide, they are selling 30% less fresh seafood than usual.In China red tides usually happen in May and June around places like Fujian Guangdong and Hong Kong.Many other countries sometimes also have red tides. But it seems that we have few ways to stop red tides. They can last as long as 16 months.59What can cause the water in the sea to change its colour?A. Algae. B. Protozoa.C. People and animals D. Algae and protozoa60Which of the following is NOT true?A. Fishermen in the area sell 30% less fresh seafood than usual.B. People could die if they eat fish with too much algae inside.C. Eating fish with algae in them can make peoples eyes water.D. Algae and protozoa cant give off any poison and mucus into the water.61Which of the following is not a cause of red tides?A. People catch too many fish and eat too much seafood.B. The temperature is at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.C. People put more chemicals into the sea.D. It is dry and warm and there is little wind in the area.62When do red tides in China usually happen?A. In winter and spring.B. In May and June.C. In July and August.D. In summer and autumn.CIm sure weve all done something a little dishonest in our livesmaybe copying someones work, or being given too much change in a shop and keeping quiet about it. Or maybe Im wrongmaybe youre a good, upstanding(正直的) citizen who believes that honesty is the best policy.We may agree that admitting our mistakes and behaving in a genuine(真实的) and decent(得体的) way is the right way to lead our lives but is there something in our human nature that makes us unscrupulous? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty boxa box where you pay for something by putting money in it. But it does provide a temptation(诱惑) to get away with not paying the full amount.Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: we have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. Its part of our evolutionary psychological make upbecause if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? Its because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.Being trustworthy with money is of course extremely important for an economy to survive and there are laws to protect us from dishonest practices. But being honest with wordsis another matter; saying what we think to someone can be embarrassing. Is honest always thebest policy?63The underlined word unscrupulous in paragraph two may mean?A. honest B. generous C. dishonest D. trustworthy64If there is an honesty box in a shop, what should a customer do?A. Take some money out if in need.B. Donate some money to the charities.C. Get away without paying the right amount.D. Put in the amount of money one should pay for his buying.65What can we learn according to Philip Graves?A. Men are born to be dishonest.B. One will be criticized if he is dishonest.C. Dishonesty is of some benefit to survival.D. Breaking the balance is kind of dishonesty.66The author may NOT agree that _.A. honesty is based on working togetherB. not all social members accept dishonestyC. dishonest economic behaviors will be punishedD. being dishonest with words sometimes is acceptableDThe following notice is posted in the bus station.Time Table:Buses leave the Railway Station, New York City, from 7:00 am and every half-hour there after, until 11:30 pm (7 days a week)Buses leave Brennan Station 20 minutes before and after every hour form 6:20 am to 11:40 pm (7 days a week)Evening rush hours (5:00 pm to 7:00 pm): Buses leave the Railway Station, New York City every 15 minutes.(Monday- Friday)Holidays Buses leave every hour on the hour, each direction.(Trip time: 30 minutes each way)All tickets must be bought at Window 12, the Railway Station, New York City, or at the Brennan Station Window BEFORE boarding buses.67.
