I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, How would you like to go to Eton?You bet, I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.Oh, he doesnt want to go away, said my mother, You shouldnt go on like this.” “Its up to him, said my father. He can make up his own mind.51.

His father sold his Roils-Royce because _.A. it made him feel uneasy B. it was too old to work wellC. it was too expensive to possess D. it was too cheap53. The writers father enjoyed being different as long as _.A. it drew attention to him B. it didnt bring him in argumentsC. it was understood as a joke D. there was no danger of his showing off54 What was the writers reaction to the idea of going to Eton?A. He was very unhappy. B. He didnt believe it.C. He was delighted. D. He had mixed feelings.55. We can know from the passage that _.A. Children who can go to Eton are very famousB. Children can go to Eton if they willC. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by EtonD. Children dont have the right to decide whether they will go to EtonCWhen skateboarding started in the 1960s, skateboards were made of wood and had clay wheels. Since the wheels did not grip concrete well, riders could do very few tricks with them. Soon people lost interest in the sport.In 1973, though, a new wheel was invented in California. It was made of a plastic called urethane (氨基甲酸酯). A skateboard with these wheels moved very quickly and it also gripped the concrete well.During the next few years skateboards were further improved. The urethane was perfected, and because the boards were shaped better, riders liked them better. These skateboards gave new life to skateboarding.The streets were not safe for skateboarding, although it was easy to ride on the streets. As a result, skateboard parks sprang up. The first parks appeared in California and Florida. At first there were only outdoor parks that had concrete slopes with small curves (曲线). Then more exciting parks appeared which had steep downward slopes, banked curves, and vertical walls. Today, there are both indoor and outdoor parks.In most of these parks riders must wear helmets as well as knee and elbow pads. This gear can prevent a fall from causing serious injury.Whenever they ride, people should always use this safety equipment, and they should learn how to fall safely. Many accidents happen during the first week of riding so it is very important that riders be taught well.56. Why were the new skateboards more popular?A. They were safer than the older ones. B. The older models were expensive.C. They were stronger than the older ones. D. People could do more tricks with them.57. The underlined word “grip” in the first paragraph means “_”.A. move over a surface without slipping B. stick toC. replace D. break down58. Skateboard parks developed because _.A. parents decided it would be a good idea B. too many accidents happened on the streetsC. many streets did not allow skateboarding D. most city parks did not allow skateboarding59. Which of the following statements about skateboard parks is TRUE?A. The first parks appeared in Scotland and Florida.B. The earlier parks had steep slopes.C. In the parks people dont have to wear helmets.D. At first there werent any indoor parks.60. The most important rule in a skateboard park might be “_”A. Do not speed! B. Leave the park byC. Take care of your personal things! D. Wear safety equipment.第二节: 篇章结构 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)在第61至65题中, 有五个在苏格兰度假的游客打算找旅馆。 阅读下面的介绍(选项)，选出符合各人需求的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。61. _ Two women friends want to do several all-day hikes in the mountains during the spring.
