A
On a summer day, John was sitting on a beach in Hawaii with his parents. The six-year-old child suddenly said he was so lucky because he had so many toys to play with at home.
His surprised parents replied that he was lucky, since a lot of kids didn’t have any toys at all. “How can that be?” John said, confused, but then he said that he would like to get toys for those children. His parents naturally thought their son was just kidding. But as soon as they returned home, John began using his pocket money to buy toys for other kids and asking his friends to do the same. His parents responded by organizing pizza suppers for other families interested in helping other children that can’t afford to buy toys. John thought that he just wanted to cheer those kids up.
John’s parents started to find a place that would allow children as young as six and seven to volunteer. They finally found a day care center for disabled children to let John and his friends visit. They went and played with these kids, playing around the room as if they belonged there.
John and his friends named their work Kids Cheering Kids. John and his friends visited kids at some childcare centers, helping out with a party they organized. They also prepared a performance for children with disabilities. Their activities have drawn public concern.
The spirit of helping is as fresh as it was that day in Hawaii. “The whole purpose,” John says, “is to make the kids feel better.”
56. Why did John get toys for the children who didn’t have any toy at all?
A. Because he wanted to make them happy.
B. Because he wanted to show off his toys.
C. Because he wanted to share his toys with them.
D. Because he wanted to make friends with them.
57. What was John’s parents’ attitude towards his plan?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Puzzled.
58. What do we learn about Kids Cheering Kids?
A. It’s a children’s game enjoyed by John and his friends.
B. It’s a project started by John to help other kids.
C. It’s a performance made by John and his friends.
D. It’s an after-school activity planned by John’s friends.

I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to
I know lots of women who skip breakfast （不吃早餐） , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food .
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of South California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
64. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.
A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone
C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit
65. What can we infer from the text?
A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.
66. According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.
A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat
C. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food
67. The text is written mainly for those_____________.
A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight
C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep
D
The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep．A few dogs started barking at it．The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety．That didn't stop the elephant．It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people．The villagers were scared and angry．Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer．He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk．He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.
Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle．After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city．But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife．"Life in the city is too dull．Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun．"My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years．Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land．It is now fighting back．Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion．A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant．"Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them．They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal．An elephant princess indeed!
68．For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .
A．get long lasting excitement B．keep both man and elephants safe
C．send them back to the jungle D．make the angry elephants tame
69．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .
A．she spent her time hunting with her father
B．she learned how to sing love songs
C．she had already been called an elephant princess
D．she was taught how to hunt tigers
70．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.
A．they are caught and sent for heavy work
B．illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C．they are attacked and their land gets limited
D．dogs often bark at them and chase them
71．The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________．
A．people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks
B．the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C．elephant tamers are in short supply
D．dogs are as powerful as elephants
E
Medicine comes in lots of different packages. Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream (抗菌素膏) from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?
A team of scientists from Scotland say “yes”. They’ve engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside.
These eggs come from chickens that have been engineered to produce certain drugs inside their egg whites.
These drugs are made of molecules called proteins(蛋白质). Animals make thousands of proteins — they’re the main element in skin, hair, milk and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates (候选者) for making protein drugs.
Researchers have already made cows, sheep and goats produce protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories, says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA — the code that tells cells how to make proteins — so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化).
The scientists changed the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites. This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.
72. If you cut your finger, you may use ________ to cure it.
A. painkillers in a tablet B. antibiotic cream from a tube
C. chicken eggs D. protein drugs
73. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Scientists from Scotland have succeeded in packing medicine into chicken eggs.
B. The drugs are made of molecules called proteins.
C. Scientists chose chickens for their experiments because chicken eggs taste delicious.
D. The animals are good candidates for making protein drugs.
74. The drugs in special chicken eggs can ________.
A. treat lung cancer B. help reduce headache
C. change people’s DNA D. treat multiple sclerosis
75. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. eating eggs is the best choice for the patients now
B. scientists changed the chicken’s DNA and put all the drugs in chicken eggs
C. we may eat special eggs as drugs when we are sick in the future
D. the drugs produce harmful effects on the chicken’s bodies

One possible version：
As is illustrated in the material, many teenagers communicate with others with Internet Slangs, which has aroused a great concern lately.
Personally, we should not use Internet Slangs in our daily life, although they’re full of humor. For one thing, we can’t abandon our mother tongue based on Chinese culture. For another, they’re hard to understand, thus resulting in misunderstanding.
To conclude, only when we abandon Internet Slangs, can we protect Chinese culture.
One possible version:
Dear Helen,
Hi! How is everything going on with you? I’m glad to hear that you are coming to our school and live in a host family. I’m writing this letter to share with you some tips of social communication.
Firstly, remember to shake hands with your host and hostess on your arrival. You’d better greet their family warmly as well. Secondly, it’s important to do a little advance planning if you are going to do some small talk. Have some topics and conversation openers ready. To gaze intently may show your attentiveness, but is not that necessary. The best way is to avoid too much eye contact. Thirdly, if you receive some compliments or gifts from the host, a simple expression of “Thank you” will do. While at dinner, we usually wait for the elders to sit and eat first and don’t forget to take your chance to praise the host for the good cooking.
I hope these ideas will be of great help to you. Look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
