A
In 1970, my five brothers, my sister and I lived in the housing projects of Toronto with our parents. My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!
But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was laid off from his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.
That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.
As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.
We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.
Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to
others in need.

When you want to buy or rent a house, you are expecting not only the good quality of the house itself but also the nice neighbours who live near you. Almost
everyone agrees that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. However, the standard of good neighbours is different from people to people. In my opinion, a good neighbour should be someone that respects your life, is ready to help others and concerns about the environment in the neighbourhood.
First of all, it is very important for your neighbours to respect your life. Just imagine, if you have a neighbour who is curious (好奇的) about you, especially your personal life, and tries to know more about it by whatever means, how will you feel What is more, he or she may also talk with others about your life. Do you want to live near him or her anymore The answer is definitely negative. You will feel very uncomfortable to have such kind of people in your neighbourhood and you may move as soon as possible.
Next, what you should consider is that a good neighbour is always willing to give you a hand when you need help. For example, if you are not at home and someone suspect tries to unlock your door, your neighbour who sees it should call 110, and it will help you to protect your property.
Finally, a good neighbour should be concerned about the environment, especially around your neighbourhood. He or she should throw all the rubbish into the garbage and keep the place clean, because a good environment can make people who live in it comfortable and relaxed all the time.
Therefore, it is very important for a neighbour to have such qualities as above.
40. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. How to find a good neighbour.
B. The advantage of living with rich neighbours.
C. Neighbours should help each other.
D. Qualities a good neighbour should have.
41. According to the passage, a good neighbour may do the following EXCEPT .
A. show special interest in your personal life
B. help you when you are in trouble
C. keep the environment clean
D. call the police when strangers unlock your door
42. If a neighbour always wants to know about your personal life, you may .
A. tell him your story as soon as possible
B. think he is a good neighbour
C. feel rather proud and pleased about it
D. decide to find another place to live
43. The underlined words “ someone suspect” in the third paragraph refer to .
A. a friendly person B. a doubtful stranger
C. a shy friend D. an old classmate

After talking to some Haitian high school students by a videoconference (视频会议), Kelsey Brooks, an American student at Fisher Middle-High School, suddenly realized just how much she had in common with these student survivors.
Kelsey Brooks had experienced Hurricane (飓风) Ike and Katrina. She had expected the meeting would be sad and tearful. Instead, Haitian students seemed happy and curious, asking them many questions and even telling some jokes.
The videoconference was set up through Global Nomads Group, an international group that helps students to speak with their peers (同龄人) in other parts of the world. The Louisiana students shared their own stories. They also heard from the Haitian students about the day of the earthquake. Ian Navarre, a ninth-grader at Fisher, said he escaped from Katrina with his father, not knowing whether his mother had gone or stayed. After three months, he finally learned that she was safe. Jonathan, a Haitian student at New American, said he especially identified with (认同) this experience because his mother had not been with him during the earthquake.
Grace Lau, a program manager at Global Nomads, said that many students who took part in the meeting were lucky to return to school. But over one hundred students hadn’t returned yet.
Students at Fisher promised to continue to keep in touch with (与……保持联系) their new friends through Facebook. They also encouraged the Haitian students to feel hopeful. “It might take a while, but your lives will get better,” Kailyn Cook, a ninth-grader at Fisher said.
44. What’s the purpose of Global Nomads Group
A. To raise money for disaster-hit areas.

A family of larks (云雀) lived in a cornfield. When the corn was ripe (成熟的), the mother lark watched very carefully to see if there was any sign of the reapers’ (收割者) coming, for she knew that when they came their sharp knives would cut down the nest and hurt the baby larks. So every day, when going out for food, she told her babies to watch and listen very closely to everything that went on.
One day when she came home, the little larks were shaking, “Oh, Mother, you must move us away tonight! The farmer was in the field today. He said, ‘The corn is ready to cut; we must call in the neighbors to help.”
The mother lark laughed, “Don’t be afraid. If he waits for his neighbors to cut the corn, we shall have plenty of time to move.”
The next night, the moment the mother got home the baby larks cried out, “Mother, you must surely move us away tonight! The farmer came today and said to his son, ‘The corn is getting too ripe; we cannot wait for our neighbors; we must ask our relatives to help us.”
“Don’t worry,” said the mother lark, “the relatives have plenty of reaping to do for themselves; we’ll not move yet.”
The third night, when the mother lark came home, the baby larks said, “Mother, the farmer came here today. When he looked at the corn he was quite angry; he said, ‘This will never do! The corn is getting too ripe; it’s no use waiting for our relatives.’ And then he said to his son, ‘Go out and hire reapers, and tomorrow we’ll begin to cut them ourselves.’”
“Well,” said the mother, “When a man begins to do his own business, instead of asking somebody else to do it, things will get done. I’ll move you out tonight.”
48. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 shows that ______.
A. the little larks felt too afraid B. it was too cold inside the nest

A. played games in the nest B. looked for food outside
C. removed the nest D. watched outside carefully
50. It can be learnt from the text that ______.

B. the farmer didn’t get along well with his neighbors
C. the farmer’s relatives were also busy with their harvest
D. the farther lark was unwilling to take care of his kids

Many people drink coffee to quickly increase their energy. Scientists say there may be another reason to drink coffee. They studied the link (联系) between coffee drinking and the risk of death from some diseases, and found that drinking moderate (适量的) amounts of coffee each day may help protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases. David Jacobs of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis worked on the study with researchers from the University of Oslo.
The researchers used information about 27,300 women. They were between 55 and 69 years of age when they entered the study. During a fifteen-year period, almost 15.75% of them died. The researchers found a link between the amount of coffee the women reported drinking and their risk of dying from heart disease. Coffee drinking was measured in cups. One cup is about 225 grams.
There was a reduced risk of death from heart disease among women who drank from one to three cups of coffee each day. A reduction (减少) in the risk of death from other diseases was also seen. But Professor Jacobs says the risk reduction for death from heart disease decreased in women who drank more than three cups a day.
The researchers say antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in coffee might reduce the risk of heart disease. Earlier studies found that coffee has high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants have been shown to help prevent heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
52. How many women are alive after the study of fifteen years
A. About 23,000. B. About 4,300.
C. About 24,000. D. About 1,400.
53. What does the underlined word “decreased” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Rose. B. Reduced. C. Improved. D. Continued.
54. It can be inferred that Professor Jacobs suggests we drink ______ each day.
A. more than three cups of coffee B. one to three cups of coffee
C. about 225 grams of coffee D. as much coffee as possible
55. The last paragraph mainly explains why ______.
A. many people like drinking coffee
B. some people die from heart disease
C. coffee helps prevent heart disease
D. coffee has high levels of antioxidants

阅读下面短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
While some animals can be kept as pets, it is not right to keep wild animals at home. Wild animals surely do not like the idea of being kept at home. Wild animals’ real home is the forest where they can live with other wild animals and live a normal life. In the past when people left all the wild animals where they belonged, very few animals became extinct(灭绝的). Today, as people keep hunting the wild animals and trying to make them pets, more and more animals are now becoming extinct.
Monkeys have always been loved pets at home because they are like man in many ways but they should be left in the forest where they are free to swing (摇摆) in the trees. Tigers and lions are slowly becoming less and less because they are being hunted as pets and their habitat is being destroyed by man. These animals are wild and they should not __________ as pets.
There are many other wild animals that should not be kept as pets. People should remember that wild animals are not fit to live at home. People should leave them in the wild in order to let them live normal lives. If we take them out of their world, we are slowly killing them. Let us accept that we can never provide all the needs of the wild animals if we take care of them at home.
Animals, like people, also have feelings of their own and they need wild animals to live with. These animals do not need a soft bed, a golden cage or a silver dish. What they need is a natural habitat and nature around to keep them happy and alive.
56. What is the main idea of the text (no more than 8 words)
___________________________________________________________
57. Why did very few wild animals get extinct in the past (no more than 8 words)
___________________________________________________________
58. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
