阅读下面四篇短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Smallest Life Around Us
Tiny plants and animals live all around us. We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.
They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines(肠).
These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.
Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.
People did not know microbes had existed(存在) long. They were too small for them to see.
But people did see many changes in their world—important changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected(感染). They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence(证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.
31. Why couldn’t people see microbes?
A. Because they are too small.
B. Because they live inside our body.
C. Because they live far from humans.
D. Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive.
32. The underlined phrase “crumble apart” in the last paragraph means “______”.
16
A. grow taller B. change into soil
C. break into tiny pieces D. become colourful and energetic
33. Choose the answer that completes the web below.
A. Microbes are very small B. Food begins to smell bad
C. People can’t see microbes D. Microbes are all around us
B
The place of the family computer may turn into a hot argue as your children get older. Whether you have one computer in the house or five, you should think the following things as you make a final decision.
There is a certain number of danger if you allow your children to have a computer with Internet in their rooms with no parental direction. They may share improper information and chat with strangers if they know that no one will be watching.
This does not mean that you cannot allow your children to have a computer in their rooms. Think allowing a computer without Internet. This is especially useful for teens who use the computer for creative projects, playing video games and listening to music. Keep in mind, however, that it is possible that your kids are more skilled at computers than you are and may remove any blocks you have in place.
Computer Use
The way your family computers are used will play a role in deciding where they should be placed. A machine used only for homework will need to be in a quiet place where there is low traffic. One used for chatting online can be in the room where most of the family spend their time. If Mom and Dad use a computer for work, those needs will also have to be thought.
Space
Space must also be considered in computer placement. The computer will need electricity, plenty of desk space and a spot away from this bright light of windows. You will not want it placed in a room where your kids may be noisy.
34. The text is written for__________.
16
A. parents B. teachers C. students D. children
35. Which of the following might be a danger to children?
A. Listening to music. B. Doing their homework.
C. Playing video games. D. Chatting with strangers.
36. Which word can be put in the blank ?
A. Safety. B. Difficulty. C. Friendship. D. Attention
37. What can we learn from the text?
A. A computer takes up a lot of desk space.
B. A child should not be allowed to get online.
C. A child should not be allowed to use a computer.
D. Many things decide the place of family computers.
C
①Supermarkets only sell food before its “sell-by” date. So where does food past its “sell-by” date go? The answer is in the trash bin. Besides shops, people also cast away a lot of food when they buy too much and can’t eat it up. To stop food waste, people have come up with great ideas. Take a look and try to join the action!
②Set up food banks. When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world’s first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants. It’s free for anyone to enjoy.
③Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves (货架) in special cafes. There, the food has no price label (标签). You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly.
④Buy less. When there’s no food bank around, what can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less (无托盘). It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big
16
difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash.
38. The underlined words “cast away” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
A. throw away B. take away C. give away D. put away
39. Which of the following is true according to the article?
A. People need to pay for food from “share fridge”.
B. Dining without trays helps to reduce food waste and save water.
C. Fifty percent of American restaurants are going tray-less.
D. The food in the Real Junk Food Project is free for anyone.
40. How does the writer organize the writing?
A. B. C. D.
41. What’s the main purpose of the writing?
A. To show how important the food bank is.
B. To introduce some ways of stopping food waste.
C. To ask people to buy food past its “sell-by” date.
D. To discuss where the food past its “sell-by” date goes.
D
It happened two years ago. It was Mother’s Day morning. I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed(尴尬的) and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very sad about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”
At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling fish and chips and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a
16
flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture(姿势).”
By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment(器具). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very sad for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”
At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
42. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. One can never be too careful. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Love begins with a little smile. D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.
43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.
B. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.
C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman surprised the flower seller.
D. Tenyson’s mother supported his idea of buying a flower for the woman.
44. Choose the right order of the events given in the story. _________
a. The paramedics arrived and attended the injured woman.
b. We bought a flower for the lady to cheer her up.
c. I did some shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son.
d. My son became very sad about what had happened to the couple.
e. An elderly woman fell over at the entrance.
A. c, e, a, b, d B. a, c, e, d, b C. c, e, d, b, a D. c, a, e, d, b
45. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Mother’s Day B. The Power of Flower
C. An Accidental Injury D. An Embarrassing Moment

Dear Tom,
You asked me why I liked cooking. Here are my reasons.
First, cooking is one of my hobbies. By learning this basic life skill, I can enjoy different kinds of delicious food. Besides, it’s a good way to show my love to my parents. Both my parents are very busy. So when I come back home early, I’ll cook for them. After they return, we sit together and enjoy the meal with their big smiles on the faces. What’s more, it’s a kind of relaxation. I always try to cook different dishes. When my new dish is enjoyed by others, I feel proud. To be honest, I’ve got a lot of fun from cooking. (103)
Do you like cooking? Look forward to your reply.
