I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly
or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.
After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
( )34. Why did the man feel nervous?
A. He left the party too late.
B. He was afraid of the darkness.
C. He didn’t know where the black bag was.
D. He worried that others would discover his secret.
( )35. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. thieves B. parents C. children D. neighbours
( )36. What did the man want to do after finishing his plan?
A. Go to sleep. B. Wake up his children.
C. Open the bag. D. Call the police.
( )37. How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work?
A. Confused. B. Excited. C. Tired. D. Angry.
C
In early November of 1503, during Christopher Columbus’ fourth and final trip America, his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.
At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble.
Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last.
Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing.
The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.
( )38. At first, the local people helped Columbus and his men by__________.
A. giving them food B. building a house for them
C. repairing their ship D. providing them with a book
( )39. The local people became angry because the Europeans__________.
A. looked very different B. had nothing to trade
C. were cheats and thieves D. wanted to take their land
( )40. What did Columbus do after returning to his ship on the night of the meeting?
A. He discussed the problem with his god.
B. He waited for the eclipse to finish.
C. He read about the stars and planets.
D. He told his men what happened.
( )41. What can we learn about the Europeans from the passage?
A. They all believed in god.
B. They never returned to Spain.
C. They admired the local people.
D. They caused their own problems.
D
“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both very angry. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked, not knowing what to do.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and no worry.
But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We are different in our ways of thinking. He always forces his opinions on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never turns a blind eye to it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets, without thinking anything in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I was never brave enough to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can’t stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: “I can throw you away, including these old papers!”
All the lights were off except father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of putting my arms inside the covers while I am sleeping.
This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that there was no iron door that I had imagined between us at all. Love—it’s second to none.
( )42. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b, e, d, c, a B. b, e, c, d, a C. b, e, a, c, d D. b, e, c, a, d
( )43. What made the writer think of his childhood ?
A. The sight of the street lights. B. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
C. The sight of the empty street. D. The sight of light in his own house.
( )44. The underlined phrase “keep me company”in the passage means___________.
A. shine on me B. keep me happy C.show my way D. stay with me
( )45. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. The father is in fact kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding mistakes with his son.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
On Valentine's Day, Longsheng, a giant panda at Zhengzhou Zoo, climbed down from his wooden bed to the window and reached out slowly with his right paw to grasp a red carrot from his feeding plate. He seemed lonely without his female companion, Jinyi, who had died on Feb 9.
Though Jinyi had died, a large number of visitors still come to the zoo as usual to see the panda exhibition. They busily took photos and talked loudly with their families and friends. Some even knocked heavily on the glass wall to cause Longsheng's attention. He seemed not to notice as he slowly ate his carrot.
Keepers had carefully cleaned the panda house from top to bottom after Jinyi's death from what zoo officials reported as "heart and lung failure", and the panda house was still full of the smell of disinfectant(消毒剂)
The cause of Jinyi's death is under investigation(调查). A panda is normally expected to live
up to 25 years, and Jinyi was only 7, a panda adolescent（青春期）.
Questions have been raised whether management practices at the zoo contributed to her death. The department of animal management at the zoo gave different explanations on her death. Now there have been further investigations.
A final report will be issued in 10 to 15 days after the Veterinary Institute of Academy of Military Medical Sciences further examines tissue and fluid samples from Jinyi's body.
76. Where is Longsheng living?
77. When did Jinyi die?
78. What caused Jinyi’s death according to the zoo officials?
79. Why did Longsheng seem lonely?
80. How should we human beings treat giant pandas? (请自拟一句话回答)

Always Be Careful
As a middle school student, we should try to stay away from danger as the problem of safety is becoming more and more serious.
After watching TV, you should turn it off in time. If you’re at home alone, don’t open the door for strangers or invite friends online to your home. While you are at school, running after each other in the classroom can be dangerous. At the same time, you should remember to protect yourself while doing sports. When you are in the street, traffic rules should be obeyed all the time. For example, never listen to music while you are riding a bike. Besides, always follow the traffic lights when you cross the street.
If all these are kept in mind, you are sure to enjoy a much safer life.
