六、阅读理解（30分，每题2分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in a voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs Tan.” And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesn’t send me the check. It’s already two weeks late.”
And then, in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” Then she talked more loudly. “What does he want I’ll come to New York and say it in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t accept any more excuses. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direct. It was the language that helped me form the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

Traveling by train is usually not easy in China. It can be hard to get a ticket. When you’re traveling to the railway station, you look at your watch, for you are afraid you will miss your train.
But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建设) on the express railway (高速铁路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.
“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (检查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.
There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decrease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.
The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.
“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.
According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峡工程).
51. The express railway between Beijing and Shanghai will be finished _______.
A. at the end of this year B. before the Spring Festival of 2008
C. by 2013 D. in about 5 years
52. Before taking your seat, you should _____ with your ticket.
A. buy a ticket B. get through the checkpoint
C. pack your things D. make some friends
53. The word “decrease” in the passage possibly means ______ in Chinese.
A. 延长 B. 缩短 C. 提速 D. 限速
54. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Traveling by train is usually difficult in China because tickets are too expensive.
B. The high-speed trains will have 21 stations in Shanghai, Shandong, Hunan and Jiangsu.
C. Tickets for the high-speed trains will be cheaper than those for planes.
D. The cost of the express railway project is as high as that of the Three Gorges Project.
55. What can be the best title of the passage
A. An enormous project. B. Train tickets will get more expensive
C. Specially built bridges D. Beijing—Shanghai express railway

Not all experiments seem very boring. This is a beautiful and interesting experiment. You’ll watch a special color show. OK. Let’s begin.
To do this experiment, we need a plate, at least three different kinds of food coloring, some milk and some dish washing liquid. First, carefully pour the milk into the plate so that it just covers the bottom. Then add about 6-8 drops of different food coloring onto the milk in different spots. Next add about 5 drops of dish washing liquid onto the drops of food coloring. Finally. You’ll watch the expected result.
How does it work The main job of dish washing liquid is to go after fat and break it down. When you dropped some dish washing liquid onto the drops of food coloring on the milk, it tried to break down the fat in the milk. While it was doing that, it caused the colors to move around and mix, creating a very colorful display. Have fun! However, remember to pour the milk away but not to drink it after the experiment.

书面表达参考答案：
Hello, boys and girls,
I made a survey about what problems we students of Grade Nine have now.
Most students think we have got too much homework, so they don’t have enough time to have physical exercise. Besides, we don’t have enough time to communicate with the other students. In order to finish all the homework in time, they have to go to bed late, and often we feel sleepy even in class.
In my opinion, we have to do something to deal with these problems. We should have less homework so that we may have more free time to arrange our study. And we should have more physical exercise to keep healthy. What’s more ,we should have the chances to communicate with the other students to exchange their ideas in studying and life. Therefore ,we can improve our study.
either, mean, good, or, they, use, little, question, stop, by
