A
THE BRONTE FAMILY
Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels (小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quality as her sisters'.
Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.
Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.
As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. (It was not published until 1869. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.
It was accepted at once;Thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; The other two, however, did not do. so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
56. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte
A. Help him write stories. B. Help him get trained in art.
C. Teach him how to draw well. D. Teach him how to educate himself.
57. We know from the text that_________.
Jane Eyre was published in 1847
B. Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in all
C. the Bronte sisters received good education
D. Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writing
58. Which of the following was published after the death of its writer
A. Shirley. B. Villette. C. Agnes Grey. D. The Professor.
59. The underlined words "the other two" in the 5th paragraph refer to
A. Shirley and Villette B. The Professor and Agnes Grey
C. Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights D. The Professor and Wuthering Heights
60. What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text
Their novels interested few publishers.

Auctions(拍卖)are public sales of goods conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd gathered in the auction-room to make offers or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.
Almost all goods of various qualities are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also useful for land and property, antique(古董), furniture, pictures, rare books, old china(瓷器), and works of art.
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with a full description of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues(目录)are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1, and continue with Lot 2, Lot 3 and so on; he may wait until he sees certain dealers in the room and then produces the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.
The auctioneer must know quite accurately the current market values of the goods he is selling, and he should be acquainted(熟悉)with regular buyers of such goods. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also encourage the rivals among buyers to bid against each other in order to get a high price. It is largely in his advice that a seller will fix a “reserved” price, that is, a price below which the goods cannot be sold. Even the best auctioneer, however, finds it difficult to stop a “knock-out”(连裆拍货), because dealers illegally arranged beforehand not to bid against each other, but choose one of them as the only bidder, in the hope of buying goods at very low prices. If such a “ knock-out” succeeds, the real auction sale takes place privately afterwards among the dealers.
61. At what prices are auctioned goods usually sold
A. The reserved prices fixed by sellers.
B. The prices officially approved.
C. The highest prices offered by bidders.
D. The prices the dealers arranged beforehand.
62. Which of the following statements about an auctioneer is NOT true according to the passage
A. He encourages buyers to bid higher prices.
B. He gives advice to sellers.
C. He should know the current values of the goods on sale.
D. He is a government official.
63. “A reserved price” in the last paragraph means______.
A. a price which an article can be sold at
B. a price below which an article cannot be sold
C. a price fixed by the local government
D. a price acceptable to possible buyers
64. Even the best auctioneer finds it hard to stop a “knock-out” because______.
A. dealers sometimes arranged in advance not to bid against each other
B. he is not familiar with the regular buyers
C. he does not know the values of the goods
D. he has never heard of such a thing
C
The discovery of a dwarfed (矮个的)” human being” who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family .This “Flores Human” was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony.
It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils (化石)from our own species, Homo sapiens (智人);and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then the inside structure (结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp’s, despite being just a third the size of ours.
This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus (直立人).When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping----even improving----mental ability Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.
Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.” Wills says. Did “Flores Human” possess the basic components of human culture---such as the burying of the dead with ceremony Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia’s hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.
65.According to the passage , “Flores Human”______.
lived a partly human life
was a branch of Homo sapiens
used tools before Homo sapiens arrived
had a brain as a common chimp’s
66.The underlined part “this tiny human” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. a chimp . B. Flores Human C. Homo sapiens D. Homo erectus
67.This passage mainly talks about______.
A. the tools made by “Flores Human”
B. the language used by “Flores Human”
C. the evolution of “Flores Human”
D. the major surprising findings about “Flores Human”
68.According to the passage, it is believed that “Flores Human”_______.
was dwarfed by its enemies
B. could use language
C. left a lot of fossils in hot and wet environment
D. reached Flores 40,000 years ago
D
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes(基因), or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
69. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to
A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
D. Hereditary diseases and cancer
70. What's the main idea of the third paragraph
A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
71.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases
A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
72.What is the main purpose of writing this passage
A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B. Telling people the advantages and the disadvantages of gene technology
C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity
E
If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival(生存).Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.
Find a hiding place
Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys—cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal rescuers for help
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible—it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket(a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket—gold side facing out — on the ground.
Do not walk away
It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbite(冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you’re out of danger
You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.
73. When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you .
A. take a space blanket with you
B. do more physical labor
C. try to find a car immediately
D. walk as far as possible to find help
74. According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they_________. .
A. do not take enough equipment
B. stay in the middle of the mountain
C. do not keep themselves warm
D. stay in a snow-covered area
75. What can we infer from the passage
A. Don’t travel by yourself.
B. Mountain traveling is dangerous.
C. Don’t get frightened in danger.
D. Avoid going to unfamiliar places.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion .Some students tend to think that it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school. They point out that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone. Additionally, it’s a fashion.
However, most teachers hold the view that it is not necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school. They argue that middle school students are not old enough to control themselves. What’s more, it is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other.
As far as I am concerned, I think following the fashion is understandable. But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
