四、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分, 满分20分）
阅读下面内容, 从各题所给的四个选项中, 选出一个最佳选项, 填涂在答题卡相应位置。
（A）
What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge:11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96,while love: 12+15+22+5=54, luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
46. In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in a person’s life?
A. Hard-work. B. Knowledge. C. Money. D. Attitude.
47. According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ▲ .
A. ask for help from others B. say your prayers to God
14
C. change your attitude D. try maths-solving methods (方法)
48. From the passage we can learn that ▲ .
A. different attitudes come from different courses of life
B. mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life
C. failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
D. none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more
（B）

Go to sleep, piece of my heart.
Sleep, my little one,
While I sing to you.
Sleep, my little one,

Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons?
14
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does it happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates（蒸发）into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rains.
What to do when a typhoon hits?
l Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.
l Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
l Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
If you’re told to go to a safer place, do it right now.
52. This passage is most probably from ▲ .
A. an advertisement of a typhoon B. a travel record
C. a weather report D. a science magazine
53. In which order（顺序）does a typhoon happen?
a. The wind moves fast enough, a typhoon starts.
b. The air moves quickly, making wind.
c. The sun makes sea water hot.
d. The air gets warmer.
A. d-c-b-a B. c-d-b-a C. c-d-a-b D. d-b-a-c
54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.
B. The wind moves fast in the “eye” of a typhoon.
C. The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the wall of clouds.
D. A typhoon will not happen before the wind goes faster than 30 km a second.
14
55. When a typhoon comes, we CANNOT ▲ .
A. close all the windows B. listen to typhoon news
