When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.Good reading tips:Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.Try to increase (增加) the number of your new words.

Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read: mark (标记) them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary (词汇) book. Then try to remember them.Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it.

On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I havent lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. Its about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom（习惯）for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk（冒险）it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused（唤醒）.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didnt stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didnt make me very popular, of course.“He thinks hes clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brians team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.“Hes big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr. Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty（罚球）. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively（本能地）and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed（擦伤）and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my team?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.50 . The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_”.AHow old are you?BWhere are you from?CDo you want to join my team?DWhen did you come back to London?51 . We can learn from the passage that _.Aboys were usually unfriendly to new studentsBthe writer was not greeted as he expectedCBrian praised the writer for his clevernessDthe writer was glad to be a goalkeeper52 . The underlined part “I didnt stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _.Anoticeable（值得注意的）BwelcomeCimportantDpopular53 . What can we infer from the fact that the writer was offered a handkerchief?AHe threw himself down and saved the goal.BHe pushed a player on the other team.CHe was beginning to be accepted.DHe was no longer a new comer.四、填空The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(续集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the great American novels. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasnt a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults an
