Have you ever heard the old saying, "Never judge a book by its cover"? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力 ) of others .Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations .A young people with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks .He may not be able to find the right words . But don't make mistake of thinking him stupid, with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody.
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this: you can't judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine (测定) a person's intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反应) to different situations. The more situation you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge a book by its cover.

The film starts out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football.
But there’s a big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school—shooting and killing people.
This is “Elephant”. Filmed in just 20 days, it stars real high school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.
Although it may not sound of very high quality , the film won the Palmed’Or（金棕榈奖） for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival in France on May 25.
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that’s as hard to ignore （忽略）as an elephant in the house . The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone—fun and friendly, or hard and lonely .In many ways, the two boys , who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy’s mother as the serves them cakes and play the piano.
But, there are hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied（欺负） at school .The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn’t blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games .In fact, the film doesn’t offer any reason for why school violence happens .
“I don’t want to explain anything. It’s up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,” said the 51-year-old director.
60. Who made lines for the actors?
A. The director B. The actor’s friends.
C .The actors themselves. D. Nobody, for there were not any lines.
61. How many people are killed in the school shootings in the film?
A. 2 B. 15 C. 13 D. Not mentioned
62. What can we learn from the name of the movie “elephant”?
A. School shooting is a big issue facing the American society
B. School shooting is hard to believe
C. School shooting attracts the audience a lot
D. School shooting is not that serious as people think
63. Why do the two boys carry out the shooting?
A. They are bullied at school B. They play violent video games
C. They are not liked by their parents D. They feel angry inside
C
The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen Daid, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.
The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention(协定). It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.
The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.
64.A good title for this selection is .
A. People in Need of Help B. Safety and Protection
C. The International Red Cross D. Forming an Organization to Help People
65.The word “aided ” in the first paragraph means .
A. needed B. helped C. caught D. protected
66.The author really tries to make the reader see that this organization .
A. costs very little money B. works in many nations
C. teaches first aid if necessary D. is called the Sun
67.We may draw a conclusion that during a war.
A. the Red Cross only protects the wounded
B. the Red Cross only helps prisoners of war
C. the Red Cross only helps citizens
D.the Red Cross helps all the people in need no matter which side they are fighting for

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what "PK" meant.
?? "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
?? To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
?? In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
?? Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.
?? "My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition.
?? "GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.
?? Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
?? If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
68. By writing the article, the writer tries to ?________ .
??? A. explain some Internet language????? B. suggest common Internet language
??? C. laugh at the Beijing father???????? D. draw our attention to Internet language
69. What does the writer think about the term "PK"?
??? A. Fathers can't possibly know it.???? B. The daughter should understand it.
??? C. Online game players may know it.??? D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.
70. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons?________ .
??? A. are used not only online??????????? B. can be understood very well
??? C. are welcomed by all the people????? D. cause trouble to our mother tongue
71. The underlined word "jargons" means " ________ " in Chinese.
??? A. 行话?????????? B. 粗口??????? C. 歌词?????????? D. 趋势

Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.
Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. People who own pets will have more chances to walk, thus giving them a time to communicate with others. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea．In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people. In addition, it costs a lot of money to keep pets.
I like animals, so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.

Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this: you can't judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine (测定) a person's intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反应) to different situations. The more situation you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge a book by its cover.

The film starts out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football.
But there’s a big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school—shooting and killing people.
This is “Elephant”. Filmed in just 20 days, it stars real high school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.
Although it may not sound of very high quality , the film won the Palmed’Or（金棕榈奖） for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival in France on May 25.
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that’s as hard to ignore （忽略）as an elephant in the house . The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone—fun and friendly, or hard and lonely .In many ways, the two boys , who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy’s mother as the serves them cakes and play the piano.
But, there are hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied（欺负） at school .The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn’t blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games .In fact, the film doesn’t offer any reason for why school violence happens .
“I don’t want to explain anything. It’s up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,” said the 51-year-old director.
60. Who made lines for the actors?
A. The director B. The actor’s friends.
C .The actors themselves. D. Nobody, for there were not any lines.
61. How many people are killed in the school shootings in the film?
A. 2 B. 15 C. 13 D. Not mentioned
62. What can we learn from the name of the movie “elephant”?
A. School shooting is a big issue facing the American society
B. School shooting is hard to believe
C. School shooting attracts the audience a lot
D. School shooting is not that serious as people think
63. Why do the two boys carry out the shooting?
A. They are bullied at school B. They play violent video games
C. They are not liked by their parents D. They feel angry inside

The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen Daid, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.
The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention(协定). It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.
The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.
64.A good title for this selection is .
A. People in Need of Help B. Safety and Protection
C. The International Red Cross D. Forming an Organization to Help People
65.The word “aided ” in the first paragraph means .
A. needed B. helped C. caught D. protected
66.The author really tries to make the reader see that this organization .
A. costs very little money B. works in many nations
C. teaches first aid if necessary D. is called the Sun
67.We may draw a conclusion that during a war.
A. the Red Cross only protects the wounded
B. the Red Cross only helps prisoners of war
C. the Red Cross only helps citizens
D.the Red Cross helps all the people in need no matter which side they are fighting for

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what "PK" meant.
?? "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
?? To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
?? In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
?? Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.
?? "My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition.
?? "GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.
?? Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
?? If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
68. By writing the article, the writer tries to ?________ .
??? A. explain some Internet language????? B. suggest common Internet language
??? C. laugh at the Beijing father???????? D. draw our attention to Internet language
69. What does the writer think about the term "PK"?
??? A. Fathers can't possibly know it.???? B. The daughter should understand it.
??? C. Online game players may know it.??? D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.
70. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons?________ .
??? A. are used not only online??????????? B. can be understood very well
??? C. are welcomed by all the people????? D. cause trouble to our mother tongue

第五部分 作文（共一题，满分15分）
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.
Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. People who own pets will have more chances to walk, thus giving them a time to communicate with others. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea．In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people. In addition, it costs a lot of money to keep pets.
I like animals, so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.
