I remember vividly that first English class in the last term of high school. We boys (there were no girls in the school) were 16 expectantly(期待地)for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came a tall ordinary-looking man 17 about 40. He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.”

Play is the important business of childhood, and more and more research in recent years has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From infancy (婴儿期), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main fun_ction is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with them often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated (低估). A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds (界线). Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability.
By the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, and they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
36. According to the passage, when a child grows up ______.
he should be given fewer toys
he should choose his own toys
he should be given different toys
he should be given more and more toys
37. Who have the best chance to grow up successfully?
Those who grow up all by themselves.
Those who are given a lot of toys to play with.
Those who have playmates to share the toys they have.
Those who are given a lot of toys, talked to and played with.
38. According to the passage, a child is very curious when he is ______.
A. two years old B. four years old
C. six years old D. eight years old
39. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the importance of schooling B. the role of play in a child’s development
C. the choice of toys for youths D. the importance of pre-school education

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet(彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.
On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the
South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound . The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed . Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall
of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero . Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?
40. What is mainly described in the passage?
A. A history discovery. B. An event of imagination.
C. A research on space. D. A scientific adventure.41. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes _____.
A. an earthquake B. damages to cities
C. an Earth explosion D. huge waves
42. Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?
Because the land is covered with water.
Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.
Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.
Because wars break out among countries.
43. By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove _____.
animals could not live in the cold climate
what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
the human beings will die out in 2094
the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

Fresh Spring Around
“S.H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true?” cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S.H.E. fan.
After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S.H.E’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers’ English names.
Last week S.H.E. announced they will perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15.
At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Statdium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed.
“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank god that, although my parents don’t understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show,” said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have thrilled (使……兴奋) audiences. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hongkong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. “We had never met before, and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning,” recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said, “Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girl next door, your singing sisters.”
“It’s really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols. Nothing but magical,” she said.
44. Why was Peng Weiye, a senior 2 girl, so excited? ________.
A. Peng Weiye will be met by S.H.E.
B. S.H.E. will perform in Las Vegas over Christmas.
C. Her parents bought her a ticket for S.H.E’s Shanghai show.
D. S.H.E. will perform on the annual CCTV Spring Festival Evening.
45. How did the Taiwanese band get the name? _______.
A. Their fans gave the name to them.
B. Their idols had a deep influence on them.
C. A singing contest gave their idea of the band name.
D. The first letter of each of the singers’ English names forms the band name.
46. What do you know about Peng Weiye?
A. She stayed outside the Hongkou Stadium to listen to S.H.E.’s performance.
B. She will watch the performance in Guangzhou on January 15.
C. She pays close attention to everything about S.H.E..
D. She was grateful that her parents understood her.
47. Which is true about S.H.E.?
A. The secret to their success is their pretty faces and expensive clothes.
B. They were close friends when they entered a singing contest.
C. They caused a storm of excitement in Southeast Asia.
D. They have well prepared to perform with their idols.
D
Now, we’re always hearing about road accidents(事故), and when we’re in a car we try to drive carefully, but how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road. I don’t pretend to be an expert, but I’ve thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to prevent them.
One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment(设备). People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug without first turning off the power. In spite of warnings, one will carry an electric heater (电炉) into the bathroom when he is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before mending a lamp or something else. All these will cause accidents. So the rule about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you touch anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually don’t.
If you’ve got children in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach. Otherwise, they may be taken for candies or a new kind drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.
Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don’t forget to keep the children away from fire. Smoking, too, may cause fire. So you’d better give it up.
Safety First may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
48. The writer thinks the reason why there are so many accidents in our homes is that we are ___.
less careful in homes than in a car
B. more careful in our homes than in a car
C. as careful in our homes as in a car
D. not so careful in a car as in our homes
49. One of the most dangerous and commonest causes of home accidents is _____.
A. continuing to use loose plugs
B. taking a bath with an electric heater in the room
C. mending a lamp without cutting off the power
D. using electrical equipment in an improper way
50. The writer advises you ______ about the use of electrical equipment.
A. to appear as if you know everything
B. to pretend that you don’t know anything
C. to pretend that you know everything
D. not to think you know everything
51. It’s best to keep medicines in places that children can’t _____.
A. get on B. get to C. get in D. get over

If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki(赫尔辛基) during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams(有轨电车), you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront(滨水区) of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
52. Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ______.
A. 19th century buildings, boats and parks
B. 19th century buildings, boats and seabirds
C. old houses, parks and trams
D. old buildings, boats and the sea
53. The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go ______.
A. by boat B. by bus C. by tram D. on foot
54. The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsinki all show that Helsinki is _____.
A. both splendid and traditional B. both quiet and noisy
C. both historical and modern D. both old and new
55. This passage is most likely to be found in ______.
A. a story-book B. a geography textbook
C. a research report D. a travel magazine

Super Girls’ Voice
Last year many people especially high school students were fascinated by a singing competition “Super Girls’ Voice”, which was held by Hunan TV Station. Last weekend students in our class had a heated discussion about it .
Some students supporting it think highly of the competition. They think it has offered a wonderful stage to ordinary but well-singing girls to show their singing talents in public, and encourages people to pursue their dreams. What’s more, they can also develop their sense of competing during competitions .
On the other hand, the others don’t agree with them. They think a series of competitions costs lots of time and money. As most of girls are still students who should concentrate on their study at present, taking part in it is not good for their further progress .
In my opinion, it is just a successful program, which has attracted lots of audience’s attention. But seeing a bunch of girls with passion try hard to realize their dreams in the competition, we are inspired to study harder to be super girls too, just as competitors .
