I enjoyed my 20 day winter holiday at home in Hong Kong.
My flight from New York to Hong Kong was 15 hours long.I remember that my first 15 hour flight to New York never seemed to come to an end.Sitting in a crowded area with no clean air beside a stranger was no fun.However，by now I love the flights to Hong Kong very much.I know that I'm getting closer to home every second of every minute of every hour I spend on the plane.
My winter holiday this year was quite different from last year's.Last year it was my first year in the USA and I was so excited to be back in Hong Kong.I went out every day with my friends, and only went home in time for dinner with my family.My parents had planned to go to Thailand for a holiday, but I refused because I wanted to spend time with my friends in the city.
This year, to my parents' surprise, I quickly agreed to go somewhere else for a holiday.It's been over a year since I left my school in Hong Kong.This year, I found myself saying “no” to invitations to parties with friends.I decided that spending time with family was better than going out with friends.It is clear that we haven't become so close to each other.I am sad because I've lost some friends.But I still had a wonderful time at home with my family members.
I have found the joy, happiness and understanding in life along with the family.
(B)36.The writer didn't like his first flight ________.
A．from New York to Hong Kong
B．from Hong Kong to New York
C．from Hong Kong to Thailand
D．from Thailand to New York

A．had parties at home
B．often stayed with his parents
C．made dinner for the family
D．often went out with his friends

A．the writer went to the parties with friends
B．the writer was excited to see his friends
C．the writer enjoyed staying with his family members
D．the writer refused to stay with his family members
(D)39.When the writer agreed to go somewhere this holiday，his parents were ________.
A．sorry B．sad
C．angry D．surprised
(A)40.In this story, the writer has realized ________.
A．spending time with family members is important
B．going to parties is great fun for him
C．it is wonderful that friends are so close
D．parents are often surprised to see their child home
C(广安中考)
People read books less often in these days.With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity.However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today's society requires reading.Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills.Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading.Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities.Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want.Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age.So I think people should read books.
(A)41.What activity is less popular these days than before
A．Reading a book.
B．Listening to the radio.
C．Watching TV.
D．Surfing the Internet.
(C)42.We can learn from the second paragraph that ______.
A．reading can improve your memory
B．reading can make you interesting and attractive
C．reading can make you smarter
D．reading can reduce stress
(B)43.The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A．the books they are reading
B．the directions on a medicine bottle
C．the good reading skills
D．the words a doctor tells a sick person
(D)44.Some people disagree to read books because they think ______.
A．walking in the city also needs reading skills
B．driving along the road is dangerous
C．reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D．reading books just wastes their time
(C)45.The best title of the passage can be ______.
A．People Should Enjoy Themselves
B．How We Improve Reading Skills
C．Why People Should Read Books
D．What We Love Doing in Spare Time
第二节 口语运用(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)

A：46.D
B：Can I have some information about the package tour(全包旅游)to the USA

A：We have a tour that includes Chicago and Los Angeles，but I don't know the total price.
B：Could you call me if you have the information 49.E
A：Yes，of course.
B：50.A
A．Thank you very much.
B．How much would that cost
C．For about five weeks.

阅读下面的短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答81至85小题。
When Dr Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.
Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close.They have a list of almost one thousand elephants.There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972.Amboseli was a good place for Dr McComb to study animal communications.Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.
Dr McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch.Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.
What made some families smarter than others？The scientists searched their records for an explanation.To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance：The “smartest” families always had the oldest grandmothers.A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call.And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.
That was an important discovery.It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.
81．How do scientists working in the park study elephants？(no more than 5 words)
By watching them up close.
82．What did Dr McComb study？(no more than 3 words)
Animal communications.
83．What did Dr McComb and her team do for an explanation？(no more than 4 words)
They searched their records.
84．Who does everyone in elephant families listen to？(no more than 3 words)
The oldest grandmothers.
85．What does an elephant family depend on in all the activities？(no more than 5 words)
The experience of the grandmother.
第四部分 书面表达(满分10分)

I enjoyed my 20 day winter holiday at home in Hong Kong.
My flight from New York to Hong Kong was 15 hours long.I remember that my first 15 hour flight to New York never seemed to come to an end.Sitting in a crowded area with no clean air beside a stranger was no fun.However，by now I love the flights to Hong Kong very much.I know that I'm getting closer to home every second of every minute of every hour I spend on the plane.
My winter holiday this year was quite different from last year's.Last year it was my first year in the USA and I was so excited to be back in Hong Kong.I went out every day with my friends, and only went home in time for dinner with my family.My parents had planned to go to Thailand for a holiday, but I refused because I wanted to spend time with my friends in the city.
This year, to my parents' surprise, I quickly agreed to go somewhere else for a holiday.It's been over a year since I left my school in Hong Kong.This year, I found myself saying “no” to invitations to parties with friends.I decided that spending time with family was better than going out with friends.It is clear that we haven't become so close to each other.I am sad because I've lost some friends.But I still had a wonderful time at home with my family members.
I have found the joy, happiness and understanding in life along with the family.

C(广安中考)
People read books less often in these days.With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity.However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today's society requires reading.Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills.Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading.Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities.Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want.Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age.So I think people should read books.
( )41.What activity is less popular these days than before
A．Reading a book.
B．Listening to the radio.
C．Watching TV.
D．Surfing the Internet.
( )42.We can learn from the second paragraph that ______.
A．reading can improve your memory
B．reading can make you interesting and attractive
C．reading can make you smarter
D．reading can reduce stress
( )43.The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A．the books they are reading
B．the directions on a medicine bottle
C．the good reading skills
D．the words a doctor tells a sick person
( )44.Some people disagree to read books because they think ______.
A．walking in the city also needs reading skills
B．driving along the road is dangerous
C．reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D．reading books just wastes their time

When Dr Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.
Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close.They have a list of almost one thousand elephants.There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972.Amboseli was a good place for Dr McComb to study animal communications.Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.
Dr McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch.Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.
What made some families smarter than others？The scientists searched their records for an explanation.To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance：The “smartest” families always had the oldest grandmothers.A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call.And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.
That was an important discovery.It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.
81．How do scientists working in the park study elephants？(no more than 5 words)
.
82．What did Dr McComb study？(no more than 3 words)
