B There are now no more than 4, 500 Indian tigers in the wild. The World Wide Fund for the Nature (the WWF)helped the Indian government develop Project Tiger in 1973 to help save the Indian tiger. The Project started with 9 tiger reserves, with a population of 268 tigers. Now there are 27 tiger reserves, with a population of 1498 tigers. The WWF has also helped protect Indian tigers in Bangladesh and Nepal. With nearly 3.15 meters from its nose to the tip of its tail, the Siberian tiger is the world’s largest cat. There are only 200 in the world, most of them in Russia. Illegal(非法的) killing has increased(增长)greatly in the last seven years because tiger products(产品)can make a lot of money for those hunters. The bones and other body parts are used for traditional medicines. Illegal killing and trading(贸易)are continuing, and tigers are in danger. Governments have made some laws to protect tigers. But there’s still a long way to go47. Project Tiger is for __________. A. helping to save Indian tigers B. making more nature reserves C. helping governments D. selling tiger products48.

C Catherine invited Nelson to dinner. Last term she had been a student in Nelson’s grammar class, but she had to drop the class because her son Kendall was having a problem in school. The problem was that he wasn’t studying. Catherine decided to spend more time watching him. Nelson was getting to be an old man. He had been teaching for almost 40 years. He could have retired(退休)10 years ago, but he loved teaching. He said his students gave him something to look forward to every day. He planned to teach until he dropped dead in the classroom. Nelson needed to take a little gift to Catherine to show his thanks for the invitation. He couldn’t think of what would be good. Opening his kitchen cabinet, he found the perfect gift—an unopened box of tea. In a kitchen drawer, he found some fresh-looking wrapping paper. He wrapped the box of tea up well. Feeling proud of himself, he drove over to Catherine’s and rang the doorbell. He gave his gift. Catherine made a funny face. She said she loved the wrapping paper. Then she unwrapped the tea and made another funny face. “Nelson, I gave this tea to you at the end of last term, and I wrapped it in this paper!” Nelson’s face turned red. He told himself he had to be more careful with gifts in the future. He said sorry to Catherine. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s the thought that counts(有价值). ”50. Why did Catherine drop the class? A. Because she was having a problem in school. B. Because she didn’t like studying. C. Because Nelson would stop teaching. D. Because she wanted to spend more time watching her son. 51. What can we learn from the passage? A. Catherine didn’t love her son. B. Nelson was careless with gifts. C. Catherine was angry with Nelson. D. Nelson didn’t want to go for the dinner. 52. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Good Mother B. A Hardworking Teacher C. A Thoughtful Gift D. A Wonderful Dinner
D When I was a child, my mother often told me, “Don’t run around, or bad uncles will grad(抓住) you. And you know what? You will never see Mum and Dad again.” “Why, Mama? Why would these uncles grab me?” I would ask. “The city is a dangerous place and we don’t trust any strangers, ”she would reply. Well, that might answer the question of why my second brother never picks up calls from an unknown person either on his mobile or his home phone. It seems that he doesn’t care if he misses an important call. because he thinks that all unknown calls are from bad persons. So, have we given too much protection to our young kids? Perhaps it is so. But the adults’ thoughts are indeed easy to understand. The kids meet swindlers sometimes as we adults tell them. Also they get some news about cheating(欺骗) in newspapers or on TV every day. That makes the kids believe that they just cannot trust strangers. Let’s look at an example from everyday life. Say, if someone carrying a wooden stick(棍子) comes nearer to you, will you try to run away at once even before he or she starts talking to you? Will you guess this person’s intentions(意图) and think that he or she wants to rob(抢劫) you of something? Think of the answer for yourself. Of course, the kids should look after themselves, but overprotection can sometimes stop them from making new friends. Sometimes it’s not good for their new friendships. Trust is like a mirror. When we offer trust to people, they might just show you trust in return. 53. What do “swindlers” probably do? A. They cheat other people. B. They often call other people. C. They rob people of something. D. They teach children to protect themselves. 54. Which of the following is NOT the reason why children don’t trust strangers? A. Their parents tell them not to trust strangers. B. They get to know some news about cheating in newspapers or on TV every day. C. Strangers always have bad intentions. D. They sometimes have experiences of being cheated. 55. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Children should always follow their parents’ advice. B. We should never talk to strangers. C. Parents should learn to protect their children. D. People should try to trust each other.

I have a truck to send goods all over the country. I live in a beautiful house, but I don’t ride a bicycle these days.

八、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分, 每小题2分) You want to know about my stay in America, fight? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here. In China, I had English classes five times a week since Grade Five. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School Connecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say. “I’m fine. ”when people say “How are you?” but in the US, I found that people say, “I’m good. ”or “I’m tired. ”One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused(迷惑的). I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(褐色). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”. I was also surprised to know how hardworking US students are. In China, Schoolwork is almost everything, so we study and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented. I am starting to feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports. 60. Where is the writer at the moment?61. Did the writer answer the question “What’s up?”62. Why do US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun?63. What is a “good” student like in the US?64. What does the writer mainly talk about?
