I explained I had been raised that 39 a person’s color and social position were，he deserved respect. It 40 me to think that just because he was homeless，no one 4l him the honor. It broke my heart.

四、阅读理解(共l2小题，24分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
A
The porter(行李搬运工)brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know. Then he points to the phone and says，“If there’s anything else you need，just call,” All this time you have been thinking one thing：“How much should I tip him ” To make your next trip a little easier，here’s a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.
Bangkok
Some top-end(高档的)restaurants will add a l0％ service charge to the bill. However if you’re eating at a lower-end restaurant a tip is not necessary. If you’re staying at one of Bangkok’s many five-star hotels，expect to the porter 20 to 50 baht，depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom(习俗)is to round the fare up(凑整数)to the nearest five baht
Hong Kong
Tipping is customary in this money-mad city. Most restaurants add a l0％service charge to the bill. If the service is good, add anotherl0％ to the bill, up to HK $l00 in an especially nice restaurant. When in a taxi，round up to the nearest dollar.
Kuala Lumpur
Tipping in Malaysia only happens at the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10％ service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10％ service charge．But at local restaurants , there’s no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will make a porter happy. Like Bangkok，many taxis are now metered so you call just round up to the nearest ringgit.
Seoul
Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a custom in international hotels where a l0％ service charge is often added. If you’re at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there’s no need to tip. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10％ service charge. If you’re at a top-end hotel，expect to pay 500-1，000 won per bag. Taxi drivers don’t accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself．
46．In which of the following cities is it unnecessary to tip the taxi-drivers
A. Bangkok B．Hong Kong
C. Kuala Lumpur D. Seoul
47. Which of the following is NOT the unit of money
A. Charge B. Baht
C. Won D. Ringgit
48. If you stay at a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur，how much will you pay the porter at least
A. 10％ of service charge B. One ringgit
C. Half a ringgit． D. Two ringgit．
49. What is the purpose of the passage
A．To make the trip more pleasant
B. To tell the readers how to travel
C. To give the readers some advice on how to tip
D. To ask the readers to go on a trip to Asian cities
B
At just six years old，Joey Kilpatrick is Australia’s unofficial hide-and-seek(捉迷藏)champion after he hid in a bedroom cupboard for eight hours while playing his favorite game，causing a big rescue operation.
The determined little boy’s disappearing act led to a careful search, including nice police officers, five State Emergency Service volunteers，tracker dogs and almost all of the people of the town of Goombungee.
His mother，Chris，says she called the police when Joey disappeared one afternoon after telling his older brother，Lachlan，14，that he was off to play hide-and-seek.
“I called the two boys for dinner，”Chris says. “After about 20 minutes I started to worry, I was shouting to Joey，’0K, we can’t find you，time to come out!’”
But there was no sign of her little boy. Within minutes of Chris calling the police, the policemen started one of the biggest ground searches in the town’s history.
“I was really frightened．I rang my husband，Kris, who works out of town, and he immediately hit the road，calling me every 10 minutes．”Chris recalls．“They searched the house from top to bottom；everyone was out looking for him. When a neighbor asked if I’d checked the water tank，that’s when reality hit. I was afraid.”
After hours of searching the town，confused(困惑的)police decided to search the house one more time.
“I just sat there waiting．”Chris says “Then a strange feeling came over me, and I rushed into the bedroom and put my hand on a pile of blankets in the cupboard. As I pulled then out，there he was-asleep and completely not realizing what was going on! I’ve never held him in my arms so hard.”
Senior officer，Chris Brameld，from Goombungee police，says he is glad that Joey’s game had a happy ending: “When we realized he was safe, we agreed that it didn’t get much better than that!”
And young Joey promises that next time he won’t be so intent(专注于) on finding the best hiding place. “I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them．” he says “I promise next time I’ll hide where they can find me and I won’t fall asleep!”

Everything on Earth that scientists can see, measure or study is made of atoms and atoms are named by what types of elements(元素)they are. You probably know the name of many elements, such as oxygen, gold or hydrogen. In any case，elements are everywhere：You，your shoes，your desk，cars，water and air are all made of elements.
Now, there’s a new kid on the block： copernicum.
This element was officially named on February 19，but the element itself isn’t new. German scientists made and observed it in 1996．But In the l4 years since then, other scientists have been working to study and validate(证实)the original findings. Validation is an important part of the scientific process because it shows that a scientific discovery was not a mistake.
All that hard work finally paid off when the element finally received its name，copernicum，from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Copernicum is named in honor of Nicolaus Copernicus, a 16th century Polish scholar who proposed that Earth moves around the sun and that Earth turns on its own axis.
Scientists organize all the elements on a chart called the Periodic Table, Each element gets a symbol and its own number, and copernicum gets the symbol Cn and the number 112. This number means that inside every atom of copernicum are ll2 protons(质子).The lightest element hydrogen has only one proton inside each atom. Its ll2 protons make copernicum the heaviest known element with a name. It was first observed by Sigurd Hofmann, a scientist in Germany. In l996，Hofmann mad his team had to figure out a way to get all the protons together and stick．They used a machine that can speed up atoms up to 10 percent the speed of light. After a week of working on these high-speed collisions(碰撞)， Hofmann’s team found copernicum even though it quickly disappeared.
Now, 14 years after Hofmann’s experiment, other scientists are able to make copernicum and validate Hofmann’s original work. Scientists are excited about copernicum. If such a super heavy atom can be created, then even heavier elements might be waiting in the future “One of the exciting things is，how far can we keep going ” says nuclear chemist Paul Karol.
54. What do we know about copernicum
A. It is the heaviest element so far B. It was officially named in l996
C. It is a newly-discovered element D. It is the most difficult element to validate
55. Why is copernicum named after Nicolaus Copernicus
A. Because he proved the existence of the element
B. Because he put forward the sun-centered theory
C. Because he observed the element in the l6th century
D. Because he designed the Periodic Table for all the elements
56. By asking “how far can we keep going ” Karol means .
A. how many elements people can find in the future
B. how soon people can find another Dew heavy element
C. how long people can walk carrying the heavy element
D. how long people can continue to research into copernicum
57. What is the best title for the passage
A. A New Element Has Been Discovered
B. The Periodic Table Is Changed Again
C. The Heaviest Named Element Is Official
D. Superheary Copernicum Needs Its Place

第二节：阅读下面文章并根据题目要求回答问题。
Learning to save money when you’re young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people-adults included-do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.
I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.
Making sure you save and don’t spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
At high school，if you have a part time Job，you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money，you not only lose that money，but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it．
After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college will be much easier.
Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to star with，which comes from saving.
Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a sale life.
Saving early will mean yon will have to work for fewer years when you aye older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.
In addition to this，it means you can live the way you want to without worrying.
1. When did the writer learn to save money
2. What is a great time to begin saving
3. What’s the best title for the passage
