In early November of 1503, during Christopher Columbus’ fourth and final trip to
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.
54. 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
55. 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
56. 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.
57. 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.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise . At the end I said,
“Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think
there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre
race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as
to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself
did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔),
by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky.
If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race.
He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won
the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
58. The writer wanted his son _______.
A. to learn from the tortoise B. to open his eyes wideC. to enter for the 60-meter race D. to have a big wish
59. According to Sonny, it was the tortoise’s wish that _______.
A. the hare would be as st eady as he was
B. he could run faster than the hare
C. the hare would fall asleep during the race
D. he would have a sleep during the race
60. Sonny believed that the tortoise won the race ________.
A. by pushing on steadily B. by luck
C. by taking a risk D. by telling a lie
61. It is clear that the writer ________ in the end.
A. learned a lesson B. won the argument
C. became impatient D. was satisfied

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, showed off their newest device (装置), the Apple Watch.
Mr. Cook said it is the “most personal” device Apple has ever created.
The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist (手腕). An
Apple Watch will be able to do many of the same things as an iPhone. It will show email,
texts, news, health readings and other information. It will be different from just seeing
what is on your phone.
Like a phone, you will be able to receive calls on your wrist. Mr. Cook smiled while
describing this. “I’ve been wanting to do this since I was five years old,” he said.
“The day is finally here.” Twenty years ago, a comic strip hero named Dick Tracy talked
into his wrist watch, but until now, that has only been something possible in the future.
The watches will be available in stores in late April. They will be sold at different
prices, beginning at $349. But the high-end model will be thousands of dollars.
Apple hopes to excite users so they will want to buy and wear computers on their bodies.
The first smartwatches from Samsung, Sony and LG have not been selling well. Only five
million smartwatches were sold last year.
One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body, or nearby, to
make this watch fully functional. Like a phone, it will also need to be charged (充电) each
night. It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smartphone and a
smartwatch.
62. It is clear that Tim Cook _______.
A. was the creator of the Apple Watch B. was proud of their new product
C. is a better CEO than Steve Jobs was D. is a true fan of comic strips
63. Compared to other Apple devices, Apple Watch will _______.
A. be more personal B. be much smarter
C. sell better D. excite more users
64. The writer doesn’t tell us whether Apple Watch can be used to _______.
A. receive text messages B. answer phone calls
C. read the health D. watch comic strips
65. We learn from the passage that ________.
A. the new device must be charged at night
B. users don’t care carrying both a smartphone and a smartwatchC. Apple Watch will be useless without an iPhone nearby
D. the new products of Apple will be of different prices

April Fools’ Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. In France, it’s called
“Fish of April.” In Scotland, the holiday is often called “Gowkie Day.” In Iraq, the
holiday is called “April Lie.”
People have celebrated April Fools’ Day for a long time. Some believe the tradition
comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago. It was a day of playing
games and pretending to be someone else.
Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles changed the
yearly calendar. He moved New Year’s Day from April 1st to January 1st. Many people did
not know about the change because of communication problems back then. Some people continued
to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st. Other people called them April Fools and played
jokes on them.
In the United States, April Fools’ Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on
friends. These kinds of jokes are also called pranks. These jokes usually end in the shouting
“April Fools!”
Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still
common. But, major companies also get in on April Fools’ Day fun in a much bigger way.
A few years ago, on April 1st, Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup
sizes—Plenta and Micra. The very large cups, bigger than a human head, remained useful
for customers even after finishing all that coffee. According to Starbucks, the cups could
be used as a rain hat, a pot for plants, or a lampshade (灯罩).
More and more, people use smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April
Fools’ Day. One smart phone app, Cat Facts, sends funny facts about cats to your friends’
phones, every day.
Do you have any ideas for April Fools’ Day pranks? Have your friends played pranks
on you before? Tell us about one in the comments (评论) section!
96. In which country is April Fools’ Day called “April Lie”?
97. Why did many people continue to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st even when the
yearly calendar was changed?
98. If a person in the US is fooled on the day, what will he be called at the end of the
joke?99. According to the Starbucks’ announcement, what could customers do with the used large
coffee cups?
100. What do you think is a modern way to play a prank on April Fools’ Day?(请自拟一句

书面表达范文：
Changes to People’s Lifestyles
There have been great changes to people’s lifestyles in the past ten years.
Ten years ago, people lived in low houses. People went out mostly by bicycle. They
used to eat rich food like fish and meat. They spent their spare time watching TV or reading
newspapers and books.
Now there are tall buildings everywhere. Each family has a car. Mobiles and computers
are quite popular. People have also changed their diet. Fruit and vegetables are their
favourite. In their free time, they like travelling around.
I think all these changes are good for both people and our environment. In this way,
people will enjoy a comfortable and healthy life.
