A
Another Reason
It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.
“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”
Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”
“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”
21. The military camp was built in the village to _______.
A. stop the soldiers going to towns B. stop the soldiers meeting their friends
C. train the new soldiers D. make the young men live quietly
22. Mr. Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because _______.
A. he was kind to them B. they felt lonely
C. they had something important to do D. they were the best of all
23. The nine soldiers returned to the camp late because _______.
A. something was wrong with their buses
B. their horses died on the return way
C. it took them much time to run back
D. they all had drunk much in the town
24. Which answer do you think is right?
A. I’ll believe only the last soldier.
B. The officer believed the nine soldiers.
C. I’ll believe none of the nine soldiers.
D. The officer won’t punish his soldiers.
B
Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict
rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
25. “Dropouts” are those who _______.
A. make troubles in and out of schools
B. go about or stay home instead of being at school
C. try hard but always fails in the exams
D. lose hope and give up some of their subjects
26. According to the passage, it’s necessary to teach students _______.
A. how to study well B. how to get on with others
C. to show love and care for others D. All above
27. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Trouble in Japanese Schools B. The Problems of Japanese Students
C. Education in Japan D. The Pressures on the Students in Japan
C
Bamboo is one of the nature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.
Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).
Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African
countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.
28. How is bamboo like grass?
A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere.
C. It grows quickly after its cut short. D. It is short and green.
29. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.”
A. short B. strong C. thick D. tall
30. From the text we know ______.
A. most people call bamboo plant trees
B. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days
C. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows
D. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago
31. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.
B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.
C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects (工程).
D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.
D
When we are young we are taught that it’s wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if they’re told not to. Research carried out at the Institute of Child Study at Toronto University has shown that this might not be such a bad thing. Apparently (显然地), children who tell lies when they’re two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults (成年人).
According to the research, at the age of two, 20 percent of children lie. At the age of three, 50 percent lie, and at four almost 90 per cent lie. By the age of 12 almost every child tells lies. Lying needs much brain work, and the better the lie is, the more work the brain has to do. By training the brain early, researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.
Recent research, carried out by the Science Museum in London, has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults. According to the research, the average British man tells three lies every day; that’s over 1,000 lies a year. However, the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.
Most people think women are better liars (说谎者) than men although in fact they tell fewer lies. Popular women’s lies include Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine, I don’t know where it is, I haven’t touched it, and It wasn’t that expensive.
Some people say you can lie as long as it’s a white lie. A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. One of the most common lies for both men and women is “It’s just what I’ve always wanted”, said after opening a present from their partner.
32．What will happen to young children who lie?
A. They will possibly do wrong later.
B. They will keep lying when they grow up.
C. They’re likely to succeed in the future.
D. They may have a good chance of losing others’ trust.
33．What do the numbers in Para. 2 show about children?
A. The older they are, the more likely they lie.
B. As they grow, they often lie about their age.
C. Older children tell bigger lies than younger ones.
D. It’s quite natural for them to tell lies.
34．What did the research by the Science Museum find out?
A. Women are better liars than men.
B. Men lie more than women.
C. Women’s lies are usually not serious.
D. Men sometimes have to lie to women.
35．What’s the true feeling behind the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A. You know me so well.
B. I don’t like the present.
C. You are good at picking presents.
D. I haven’t received a present I really like.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The secret to losing weight isn’t just watching what’s on your plate; it’s also about watching what’s in your glass. Popular soft drinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks with sugars and carbohydrates can damage your weight-loss strategy. 36
1. Water
We all know this one, but it’s important to remember that water is the single best choice for effective weight loss. Whether it’s still or sparkling, aim to make water your go-to drink choice.
37 Then try adding fresh lemon, cucumber, and even a piece of tomato to add flavor without adding many calories.
2. Vegetable juice
38 If you can find a low-sodium (Na) variety, even better. The vegetables will keep you fuller longer and the flavor will keep your taste buds happy.
3. Unsweetened tea
Green tea has been proven to help speed up metabolism (新陈代谢) and weight loss. Try it hot or iced with a bit of honey for a low-sugar sweet drink. 39 Both are filled with antioxidants (抗氧化剂), which can help rid your body of toxins.
4. Black coffee
A morning cup of coffee or an afternoon iced coffee can help lose your weight by providing caffeine that prevents people from hunger. Just be careful about what you add to your coffee---stick to skim milk and very little sugar.
5. Skim milk(脱脂乳)
Milk is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin D, and calcium that can help build your muscles and keep your bones strong. 40 Or add a little chocolate-low-fat. Chocolate milk is a great option for post-workout muscle recovery.
A. Think water is boring?
B. Choose low-fat or skim milk for all of the vitamins without the added fat.
C. To be honest, milk doesn’t cost too much.
D. Remember to drink several cups of water a day.
E. Whether in a can or homemade, vegetable juice is an excellent way to get the fiber your body
needs to fuel your weight loss.
F. Here are five tasty ways to drink up without packing on the pounds.
G. Don’t forget black and oolong teas, too!
