请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 31 their children. And they must have realized 32 difficult it is to write a good children’s book. Either the writer has aimed too 33 , so children can’t follow what the story is about, 34 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The 35 children’s books should be neither too difficult nor too simple, and satisfy(使...满意) the 36 who hears the story and the adult who 37 it. However, there are 38 books like this, so the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to 39 . Many of the books written for children are in fact written for 40 —Alice in Wonderland is perhaps the most obvious(明显的) of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 41 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 42 and he will be willing to choose most children’s comics, or have a look at the books full of the stories and jokes which are 43 parents’ or teachers’ opinions.
Perhaps we parents should stop 44 to brainwash(洗脑) children into accepting our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so 45 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise
(妥协) over the bedtime story.
( ) 31. A. to B. in C. with D. around
( ) 32. A. what B. why C. how much D. how
( ) 33. A. easy B. short C. high D. difficult

( ) 37. A. hears B. buys C. understands D. reads
( ) 38. A. many B. little C. few D. much
( ) 39. A. check B. solve C. deal D. mark
( ) 40. A. adults B. girls C. boys D. children
( ) 41. A. care B. show C. find D. add

请认真阅读下列材料,从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Here is how to make a model submarine(潜水艇) that dives and comes up from
underwater like a real one.
You’ll need Plastic bottle; tape; four coins; thin plastic tube(管子); waterproof modeling clay(防水黏土); small scissors; tub(盆)
You’ll follow Cut two small holes on one side of the bottle. Tape coins to that side of the bottle. Remove the bottle cap. Seal(密封) the tube to the bottle with clay. Fill a tub with water. Put the bottle in and let it fill with water. Gently blow into the tube and watch what happens. Stop blowing and close the tube with your thumb(大拇 指). Lift your thumb and watch what happens.
You’ll see When you blow, air pushes out water. The bottle becomes lighter and comes up. Coins keep holes pointing downwards(指向下方), so air does not escape. When you stop blowing and seal the tube with your thumb, the bottle floats (漂浮). Lift your thumb, air escapes through the tube, water runs into the bottle through the holes. When it fills with water and coins weigh it down. The bottle sinks(下沉). A real submarine works this way, by filling tanks with air or water.
( ) 46. Which step needs the help of small scissors
A. Blowing the air into the bottle. B. Sealing the tube to the bottle.
C. Cutting holes on the bottle. D. Weighing the bottle down.
( ) 47. Which of the following is NOT true according to the experiment
Coins are used to stop the air entering the bottle.
The bottle will sink when there’s no air but water in it.
The waterproof modeling clay is used to seal the tube to the bottle.
We should keep watching what happens during the experiment.
( ) 48. Mary made a model submarine, but it can’t float. What might be the problem
A. She used a longer plastic tube. B. She taped fewer coins to the bottle.
C. She blew too much air into the bottle.
D. She cut holes on opposite sides of the bottle.
B
Why is the sea salt Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart.
Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill(磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill, please grind(磨粉)’, and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease(停止) grinding.’ three times.”
Soon the old couple sold the nice things the mill made to people and had a much better life. But the young couple next door were envious(妒忌的) when they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food. So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed excitedly and asked, “What do you want it to make ” “Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt ” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.
And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.

That evening Holmes again wore different clothes, and a large, black hat. But it was not just the clothes that were different. He changed his face, his hair—everything. He was a different man, so nobody would know who he was.
We walked together to Serpentine Avenue. Outside the house there were a lot of people who were smoking, laughing and talking. Holmes and I walked up and down in front of the house.
“You see,” said Holmes to me, “I don’t think she wants her new husband to see the photo. But where is it At her bank No. Such a woman likes to keep important things herself. I’m sure it’s in her house.”
“But the King’s men tried to find it!” I said.
“Yes. But they didn’t know where to look for it!” said Holmes.
“But how will you know ” I asked.
“She’ll show me. She’ll have to.”
Just then Irene’s taxi arrived. One of the men in the street ran to open the door and then another man pushed him. Other men were also pushing and shouting, and a fight began. Irene was in the middle of it, but Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to the ground, with blood running down his face. Irene hurried to her front door, but she looked back. “How kind of him to help me! Is the poor man hurt ” she called.
“He’s dead,” cried some voices.
“No, he’s only hurt,” cried others.
“Bring him into the living room,” she said.
Some people carried Holmes into the house. I waited outside the window and watched. I saw how beautiful Irene was. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw the smoke-stick into the room. At once, the people in the street and in the house all began to shout “Fire!” very loudly. The house was full of smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me.
“Well done, Watson,” he said.
“Have you got the photo ” I asked.
“I know where it is. She showed me,” he answered.
“But why did she show you ”
“It’s easy,” he said, and laughed. “You saw all those people in the street I paid them to help us. It wasn’t a real fight and the blood wasn’t real. When people shout ‘Fire!’, a woman runs to the most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or... a photo. Irene ran to find her photo which is in a cupboard in the living room. I saw it. But I did not take it. Tomorrow we will go to the palace and tell it to the King first. And then we will go to her house with the King. We’ll go very early, before she gets up. The King himself can take the photo from the cupboard. And then we’ll go.”

Do you yawn There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch(强化) the muscles(肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we often do.
( ) 57. What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily.
C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly.
( ) 58. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages(优点) of yawning.
C. Disadvantages(缺点) of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning.
( ) 59. What can we infer(推断) from the passage
People use different ways to yawn.
Scientists will do further research on yawning.
It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning.
Some scientists think yawning is a common thing we do every day.
( ) 60. What would be the best structure of the passage
B. C. D.

Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp(黑猩猩) or a teenager The teenager Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than humans when it comes to this kind of problem. 61
Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world.
62 There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. 63
Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it’s meaningful to you—an example is data about family and friends. And then there is visual (视觉的) memory and sound memory.
64 Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One thing’s for sure though: If you can put the different kinds of memory together, there can be great results. 65 You could also listen to recordings of the same group of words. These things may help when it comes to memorizing the words.
A. Then how do chimps have better memories than us
B. So why not try pictures with English words
C. Scientists say that there are different types of memory.
D. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.
E. Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways.
F. Short-term and long-term memory differ in the amount of information they can store.
G. For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store.

Dear Lucy,
I like your programme School English very much. It has lots of interesting stories, games and popular songs. From your programme we learn many new words and expressions. It’s good for us to practise listening and speaking in English. We can also know more about the culture of other countries. In a word, we have learnt a lot from your programme.
However, I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t follow you easily sometimes because you speak a little bit fast. It’s also a pity that we can only watch your programme on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Thank you for giving us a lot of fun! I hope you will speak more slowly and we can watch it more. I also hope you can recommend more English songs in your programme.
Yours sincerely,
Henry

I love reading maps. We have had maps for over 4, 000 years. They tell us very useful information about the world. Today different colours are used on the maps. On most maps, the sea is blue while the land is brown or green. However, I think the most interesting thing on maps is the shapes of different countries. They’re not square or round. They are all in different shapes, and some even have shapes that look like other things. When I read the world map, I can see one country that looks like a fire, and another country that looks like a cow—it even has a mouth, legs, and a tail. My favourite country looks like a boot. It is in Europe. Why don’t you read a map and find something interesting
