It was a spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I cried, “Owl! Something in my shoe is biting(咬) me.” Everyone was shocked. They helped me sit down and were about to take off my shoes. “Which foot is it, Anna ” One asked.
Suddenly, I remembered the holes in my socks. My family was poor then. I wore cheap
welfare(福利) socks, and those socks didn't last long. They soon had holes at the bottom. I
refused to take off my shoe. I couldn't stand others seeing the holes in my sock. I tried to hold
back my tears.
Soon Miss Celina came. “What's wrong ” She asked.
“Something is biting her foot, but she doesn't let us take off her shoe,” one of my
classmates answered.
Miss Celina lived next door to me. She knew everything about my family. She held my
hand and looked into my hopeless eyes. “Oh, yes, it must be a sock - eating ant,” she said as if
she had already seen the ants. “I got bites from those ants. By the time I got my shoe off, the
ants had eaten almost the whole bottom of my sock.”
Miss Celina took off my shoe and sock and shook them. Two ants fell out. “That's just
what I thought. The ants have eaten part of her sock.” When she disinfected(给…消毒) the bites,
she added, “You are such a brave girl to take so many bites.”
The medicine felt cool on the bites and a little girl's pride was saved by the “sock - eating
ant” story.

Do you yawn(打呵欠) There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for
yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do knowmany 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 could 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(拉紧) 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 wide 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 do.
( )66. 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.
( )67. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race
A. A yawns can make them bored or tired.
B. A yawn can let good things in.
C. A yawn can help them calm down.
D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces.
( )68. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning.
C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning.
( )69. What can we probably infer(推断) from the passage
A. People use yawning ways widely.
B. Scientists may do more studies on yawning.
C. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning.
D. Some scientists understand everything for people.
( )70. What would be the best structure of the passage
第二节. 阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
“I could tell it was him by the way he walked.” If you've ever said that, you understand
biometrics (生物识别技术). Biometric technology is an important topic in our work
and private lives. It includes the use of fingerprints and knowing a person's voice. It is the
science about what a person looks like and how a person does things. Like tree leaves, no two
human beings are exactly the same. They've got different eyes and different hair. And everyone
has a different way of walking or moving.
This technology can tell you from others. At the moment if you travel through an airport,
you need your ID card or passport. If you go to the bank to get some money, you need a card
and a special number. But what should you do if you lose your passport or forget your number
Biometric technology can solve this problem. The technology is becoming more and more
popular with old people because they no longer need to remember their passwords(密码).
This technology is all around us in our life. We use it to unlock a smart phone, get into our
homes, start our cars without a key or even pay for our shopping.
Nothing is perfect. People are worried about the safety of their private information.
However, the technology will become much better in the future, and it will become more and
more important in our daily life.
What does biometric technology include
