One day, 36 , a great furniture lorry drew up near our front gate and in a short time, all kinds of furniture were 37 on the pavement. A small car arrived, out of which came seven people: a man, a woman and five children of 38 ages. The children hurried out and began laughing 39 as the whole family moved into the house. Windows were 40 open: furniture was put into 41 ; and little faces looked curiously at us over the fence and disappeared. It was our first 42 to the Robinsons.Though we became firm 43 with our new neighbors, we often had causes to be made angry be them. Our garden became an unsafe place: little boys 44 as cowboys or Indians would jump up from behind bushes, 45 wooden guns at us and 46 us to put our hands up. Sometimes our lives were 47 ; at others, we were killed with a 48 “Bang! Bang!”. Even more dangerous were the arrows that occasionally came flying 49 the garden fence.But we did not 50 go in fear for our lives. The Borbinsons were friendly and helpful and when we left for the holidays, we knew we had nothing to fear 51 our neighbors were around. We understood what it was like to have 52 in the long, friendless, winter evenings 53 Mr. Robinson would 54 in for a cup of tea and chat; or when Mr. Robinson would 55 over the fence and talk endlessly with father about gardening problems.36AbutBthereforeChoweverDstrangely1,3,537AunloadedBremovedCloadedDdestroyed38Athe sameBvariousCyoungDmiddle39AdelightedlyBsadlyCastonishinglyDfrighteningly40AbrokenBkickedCforcedDpushed41AplaceBroomCorderDuse42AmanagementBintroductionCinterviewDarrangement43AenemiesBstrangersCfriendsDrelatives44AlookingBpretendingCdressedDworn45AthrowBputCfireDpoint46AaskBorderCmakeDlead47AsavedBwastedCdevotedDspared48AsoftBsharpCfunnyDslow49AonBtowardsCoverDunder50AalwaysBeverCsometimesDthen51AunlessBthoughCso long asDeven if52AloveBpleasureCsatisfactionDcompany1,3,553AwhileBwhenCasDsince54AdropBlipCjumpDbreak55AclimbBfallCleanDlie第三部分：阅读理解（共15道小题，每小题2分，共30分。）阅读下列短文，从每题中的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。AThere are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry around-library cards, savings cards for different banks, credit cards, just to name a few So why not have one card to replace them all?Scott Barnhill, an 11-year-old fifth-grade student in the US has come up with an idea for a “Security One Card”.Sound smart? The US Patent Office thought so, and it permitted a patent for his idea in April.Heres an example of how Barnhills idea would work.Lets say you have the three cards mentioned above. Instead of carrying them all, you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips added to it.The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card, even a blank one.Companies could add their information to one of the strips. For instance, you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard.Barnhill has a lot of hobbies, including designing websites. He got the idea at the age of 9 when he saw his father using a key card to enter their hotel room. He thought, “The hotels are wasting money with the key cards.” So, instead of using a hotel-issued key card, guests could use their credit cardsif the hotel added a special magnetic strip. At check-out, the strip would simply be removed.Now that he has his patent, his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies.“Im going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate. I hope theyll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card, or every time the idea is used,” Barnhill said.” Ill write the letters and see what they say. If they say no, Ill ask someone else, another credit card company.”He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties(专利使用税) if the idea takes off rather than sell his patent.“The person who invented ATM sold it wholly, and if hed chosen royalties hed get like 2 cents for every deal and hed be a billionaire now.” Scott said.56The advantage of “Security One Card” is that it _.Acould remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastic cardsBwould be very safeCwould save your moneyDcould have a lot of magnetic strips on it57The immediate cause of Scotts invention was that _.Ahe found even a hotel issued its own cardskey cardsBhe realized hotels should use only one cardChe found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cardsDhe realized it would be a good chance to make big money58When a “Security One Card” is used, _.Aone has to add additional magnetic strips to it himselfBone has to pay Scott Barnhill each time a magnetic strip is addedCall the extra costs go to its usersDa certain amount of money must be paid to its inventor59The underlined phrase “takes off” in the last paragraph but one probably means _.Amakes moneyBwins a lot of supportCis worth a lot Dis perfectBA suicide(自杀) bomber blew up a bus parked outside a Karachi hotel yesterday in a thunderous explosion that killed 11 French engineers, their Pakistani driver and a passer-by. Twenty-tree people were wounded.Pakistans government denounced(公开指责) the explosion as an act of terrorism aimed at foreigners, and suspicion fell on militant Islamic groups angered by Pakistani President General Pervez Musharrafs support for the US-led united war in neighboring Afghanistan.There was no evidence linking the attack, directly to the al-Qaida terrorist network of Osamaa bin Laden, but many of the militant Islamic groups in Pakistan are sympathetic to al-Qaida and some have links to the organization, according to the Associated Press.Musharraf promised to fight back.“We feel this act of international terrorism has to be met with full force. My government has the complete determination of meeting this threat,” he said.“I would like the international community to understand our home environment resulting from our cooperation against international terrorism,” Musharraf said.French President Jacques Chirac condemned(谴责) the attack and sent his newly appointed defense minister to Pakistan.The 11 French killed in the bombing were engineers working at the Karachi seaport for a state-owned French marine construction company, the French Foreign Ministry said in Paris. They were part of a team building a submarine Pakistan bought from France.The bus was parked outside the Sheraton Hotel when the bomb went offobviously in a second vehicle driven by the bomber, tearing a large crater(弹坑) in the road and destroying nearby vehicles.“We have recovered a burnt body from a car,” said Sindh provincial police chief Sayed Kamal Shah, referring to the suicide bomber and his vehicle. “The sound was so loud I think you could have heard it from six miles away,” said Munir Sheikh, a police officer who was actually present at the event and saw the explosion. The explosion caused 14 deaths, including the bomber.60Which of the following is true according to tile passage?APervez Musharraf is French President.BJacquess Chirac is Pakistani PresidentCSayed Kamal Shah is a police officer.DMunir Sheikh is member of a militant Islamic group.61The explosion was considered to be made by _.AOsama bin LadenBmilitant Islamic groupsCthe ai-Qaida terroristsDa Pakistan policeman62The French Foreign Minister _.Awas newly appointed and sent to Pakistan by French President yesterday.Bcondemned the attack in a press conference in Pairs yesterday.Cdenounced the explosion as an act of terrorism aimed at French peopleDsaid the French killed were engineers building a submarine Pakistan bought from France.63The suicide bomber _.Awas found dead and burnt in a carBshot through the window of his vehicleCwas found dead in a large crater in the roadDwas arrested by Pakistan police officer Munir SheikhCHiring a self-drive car really adds to the enjoyment of your holiday.

For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and less bright, and when you do, the memory wont make you as sad. Since you havent changed the content of the memory, you havent lost any information. Youve simply made it less painful.When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can make the picture more colorful and the memory will give you even stronger good feelings. You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider, deeper, or you can bring the images closer. Changes like these will make you feel different-even when you leave the content of the picture the same.What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself. For example, if you have trouble encouraging yourself, try changing the tone of voice you use when you speak to yourself. Some people order themselves around. The voice they use to talk to themselves is cruel and commanding. Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: it can make you want to rise up. Change your tone to friendly or sweet, and you might feel more encouraged. When you tell yourself “I can do it”, fill your internal voice with eagerness and back it up with inspiring music. The possibilities are in fact endless.The important thing to understand is that the way you code your inner world has an impact, and you have quite a bit of control over that coding. You can change it deliberately. When you do, it will change your feelings, which will change your actions, which will change the world around you.68Which is the best title of the passage?AYou can Change the World around You!BBe Merry.CYou Can Change Peoples Attitude towards You.DTalk to Yourself in a Friendly Way.69Tile underlined word “deliberately” can be replaced by _.Aby chanceBon purposeCdifficultlyDeasily70We call infer that if we make a sad menta
