It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with. But there are two things for
you to think about.
The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do. Do
you know what her life is like at home Her parents might fight with each other often. What
do you know about her feelings She might be upset or worried, and doesn’t know who to
turn to for help. These things can make people act in strange ways.
Then again, maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with (对待). How important is her
friendship to you Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend. It is not an
easy thing to do. But if her friendship is causing more harm (伤害)than good, then it might be
something for you to think about.
Raymond

D. Try to find out why Daphne acts like that.

Soapy sat on a seat in Madison Square, New York, and looked up at the sky. A dead leaf fell
onto his arm. Winter was coming, and Soapy knew that he must make his plans. He wanted three
months in a nice, warm prison (监狱), with food and good friends. This was how he usually spent
his winters. And now it was time, because at night on his seat in the square, three newspapers did
not keep out the cold.
So Soapy began to try his first plan. He stopped in front of a shop window and looked at it.
It was nice and bright, and everybody in the street could see him. Slowly and carefully he picked
up a stone and threw it at the window. The glass broke with a loud noise.
People ran round the corner and Soapy was 51 , because the man in front of him was a
policeman. Soapy did not move. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, and he smiled. “I’ll
soon be in prison now.” he thought.
The policeman came up and asked. “Who did that ” “I did.” Soapy answered. But the
policeman knew that people who broke windows didn’t stop to talk to the policeman, so he left.
“What was wrong with the policeman ” Soapy was really unhappy now.
But, just then, he saw a fat man with an expensive umbrella inside another shop. The man
put his umbrella down near the door, and smoked there. Soaph went into the shop, picked up the
umbrella, and he began to walk away slowly. The man came quickly after him. “That’s my
6
{#{QQABSYQQggCIAAJAAQhCEwEQCEKQkACCAAoGQFAEIAABwQNABAA=}#}
umbrella.” he said aloud.
“Oh, is it Then why don’t you call a policeman Call a policeman! Look! There is one on
the corner.” Soapy shouted.
The fat man looked embarrassed. “Well, you know, maybe I made a mistake. I took it from
a restaurant this morning. If it’s yours, well, I’m very sorry…”
“Of course it’s my umbrella.” Soapy said.
Soapy was really angry now. He threw the umbrella away.
51. Which of the following words can be put in 51
A. angry B. happy C. nervous D. surprised
52. What does the underlined word “embarrassed” mean in the passage

C. He would get help from the policeman.
D. He liked winter best among four seasons.

A visit to the old city of Petra in Jordan is an amazing
experience. Around the city, there are mountains with
many pink rocks. To get to the mountains, tourists walk
for over a kilometer through a narrow hole in the rock.
Then they come to a large building in the side of a cliff (悬
崖). Petra has many of these beautiful rock-cut buildings,
and they make the city famous.
Two thousand years ago, Petra was a busy and noisy place. People came from far away to
buy and sell in the market places. The city became rich. At one time, more than 30,000 people
lived there. But the pink rocks were not as safe as they looked. Earthquakes (地震) made many
of the buildings fall down. As the year went by, people stopped coming and living there. Finally,
the world forgot the city of Petra.
In 1812, a Swiss traveler called Johann Burckhardt heard about the lost city. Local people
told him that it was in the mountains, and someone took him there. When Burckhardt went back
to Europe, he wrote about Petra and people started visiting the city.
56 More than a million tourists go there every year. People sell postcards, camel
rides and cold drinks there. There are museums, shops and restaurants, but nobody lives there. At
night, the old city is quiet again.
54. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Tourists to Petra. B. Rock-cut buildings.
C. Holes in the rocks. D. Plenty of pink rocks.
55. What is the right order of the following facts about Petra
7
{#{QQABSYQQggCIAAJAAQhCEwEQCEKQkACCAAoGQFAEIAABwQNABAA=}#}
a. A traveler wrote about Petra after visiting it.
b. Lots of tourists start visiting Petra every year.
c. Petra became rich and many people lived there.
d. The world began to forget Petra after earthquakes.
A. c-a-b-d B. d-a-b-c C. c-d-a-b D. d-b-a-c
56. Which sentence can be put in the blank “ 56 ” in Paragraph 4
A. There are also some problems in Petra.
B. These days, Petra is a busy place again.
C. However, Petra isn’t as popular as before.
D. Maybe Petra will be different in the future.
57. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Petra: A Modern City B. Petra: The Lost City
C. The Earthquakes in Petra D. The Problems in Petra

Most of us never thought about making an educational (益智的) toy by ourselves. If we need
an educational toy, we will go to the nearest store to buy it. But things are not so easy in the third
world countries. Some families even have no food to put on the table, so it is impossible for them
to buy educational toys.
Then how to get these kids interested in science The Indian engineer Arvind Gupta thought
about this question for a long time. While still an engineering student at college, he helped to teach
the children who were too poor to go to school. He found a good job at India’s Tata Motors after
he finished school, and then he spent the next five years designing cars.
But he didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. He took a year’s course and became a
member of the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Project. Mr Gupta found the whole project so
helpful, so he decided to leave his high-paying job and started designing educational toys to help
the poor children.
When the Internet became a popular learning tool, Mr Gupta started a website (网站) called
Toys from Waste, and now it includes more than 260 videos. About 50,000 children and teachers
visit the website every day to learn from the videos. Some young children have even won very
important science competitions.
Help poor children make educational toys

It is not possible for some poor families to buy these toys.
