It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive. She went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. After she looked for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas, and she decided to take a black one. She thought, “Mom can carry it when she is wearing clothes of any color.” So she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it to school with her until her class finished. On her way home on the train she felt hungry because she had so little for lunch. So she went to the buffet car (餐车). She left the umbrella on her seat. But when she got back, it had gone! Sally began to cry. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them the black umbrella she bought for her mother had gone, and she had to get off at the next station. After the three passengers (乘客) heard this, they asked her for her mother’s address. They could send the umbrella to her if someone took it by mistake and brought it back. And now a week passed. Sally got a letter from her mother. It said “Thank you very much for your lovely gifts, but why do you send me three black umbrellas?” 61．What kind of present did Sally want to buy for her mom? A．Beautiful and expensive. B．Useless and beautiful. C．Useful and expensive. D．Useful, beautiful and cheap. 62．Where did Sally find the umbrella was lost? A．On the train. B．In her school. C．At the train station. D．On her way to the train station. 63．The writer wants to tell us ______________. A．we should look after our things when we are traveling B．if we show our love to others, we can get love from others C．we should often send our parents gifts D．it’s no use crying when we are in trouble （2） Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills (技巧) to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good. Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (概括性的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine (杂志) articles and science reports. Here’s how to preview. ●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs (段落) carefully. ●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs. Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want — or need — to read. Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading — like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper. Here’s how to skim. ●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line. ●Pick up only a few key words in each line. Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about. 64．How many skills are talked about in this passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 65．What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese? A．精读 B．默读 C．朗读 D．略读 66．What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage? A．Get our eyes to move fast. B．Read the last two paragraphs carefully. C．Sweep our eyes across each line. D．Pick up only a few key words in each line. 67．What is the best title (标题) for this passage? A．Why we should read B．What to read C．When to read D．How to read faster 第二部分 非选择题（共 46 分） 第二节 任务型阅读（共 7 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 14 分） （3） As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge (挑战). You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that (1) to become a writer is difficult for you. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing (实现) your dream. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. (2)Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties (困难) on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. (3)You shouldn’t watch TV. You’d better study instead. It will help you to get better exam results (结果). 68．根据（1）处完成下面的句子（每空一词）。 ________ difficult ________ you ________ ________ a writer. 69．将（2）处翻译成汉语。 ____________________________________________________________________________ 70．根据（3）处完成下面的句子。（每空一词） You’d better study ________ ________watching TV ________ ________ you will get good exam results. （4） Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.” SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable (舒适的) weather all year round (15℃ to 26℃). Housing is not expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods (街区) are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés (咖啡馆). Beautiful mountains are around the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. So lots of people go there for holiday every year. But in the city center the air is often dirty. HONG KONG, CHINA This lively city — once a small fishing village — is today an international business center. It is not too cold or too hot in a year. It is an interesting mix (混合) of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples ( 庙 宇 ). Popular nightclubs are close to old beautiful teahouses. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful food. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. Nearly seven million people live in Hong Kong! That’s why housing is often very expensive. However, the traffic is busy in this city. 阅读上面短文，根据上面文章内容完成下面表格中关于 SAN JOSE 和 HONG KONG 两个 城市的信息。 San Jose Hong Kong Weather Comfortable 71. ________________ 72. _____________ Cheap Very expensive Attractions (吸引人的事物) 73. ________________ The beautiful buildings and wonderful food Problem Dirty air 74. _______________ 四、写（共四节，计 32 分） 第一节 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。（共 9 小题；每空 0.5 分，共计 5 分） 75．You’d better ask your grandfather to stop ______________ (smoke).
