Our first winter in Canada was the happiest days we have ever experienced. We were living in the countryside then. One 46 in mid—December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing. We were all excited. It was the first snow we had ever seen. We could hardly wait for the snow to stop so that we could go out to play. Next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing. We turned on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow 52 last night and that since the roads were blocked(封堵), there would be no 53 that day. We jumped up and down and asked mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said we could go out after breakfast, but we must come back as soon as we felt cold.
We went out. Later, the snow almost stopped. The roads, gardens and playing grounds were all coverd with white and soft snow. Just then, we saw some neighbors’ children coming out to play. We ran over to join them. Together we built a snowman and a snow house. We were having so much fun when supper time came. Mother almost had to make us go in and eat.
( ) 46. A. morning B. noon C. afternoon D. evening
( ) 52. A. grew B. fell C. saved D. stopped

第二节阅读理解（共7小题，每小题2分，满分4分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
（1）"I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry," said Zhang Hua , a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.
( )67. The writer thinks we should_______if we go back home later than usual.
A. tell our friends
B. tell the teacher
C. say sorry to our parents
D. make a telephone call to our parents
(2)When you cut your skin, you bleed(流血). If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called " blood transfusion". The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.
But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups—O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.
There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.
We call a place where we keep money a "bank". We call a place where we keep blood a "blood bank". One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a "blood bank". In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The "blood bank" will give it to you.
( )72. People set up the "blood bank" so that they can .
A. give the right kind of blood to the people who need it in time
B. keep different groups of blood as much as possible
C. make it easier to sell or buy blood
D. keep blood for more than twenty hundred years

（3）Our earth is in trouble. Our drinking water is becoming dirtier, and the air is not as clean as before . People and factories are polluting the air, rivers and lakes and seas. You may think that there is nothing you can do to help. That’s not true. There are many things you can do to help the earth.
Cars burn gasoline. This will produce a lot of CO?into the air. Some people believe that too much CO?is making the earth warm than ever. They think CO?thins the clouds above us. The clouds keep us away from the strongest sunlight. So try to walk, ride a bike or take a bus. And if you drive a car, drive at a steady speed. This can save some gasoline.
The biggest energy use at home is for keeping warm and cool .So turn the air conditioner off when you don’t need to use it. U se lights that save energy.
Use fewer things that cannot be used again. When you buy something , consider those made from things that can be used again first.

(4)Big ocean fish have almost been endangered since the start of business fishing in the 1950s.The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years.The study took ten years.The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world.The magazine Nature published(发表)the findings.
The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected(连接) to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(钩) to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. It’s not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller. What’s worse, they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先).

(1)--London is planning to host the 2012 Olympic Games. They will need to plan carefully. Local people are worried that plans were made carelessly and too quickly because the organizers wanted to win the bid(投标). So, while some Londoners are excited about what will happen, others are more worried. The government is sure that the country will host a magnificent (宏伟的) Olympics.
Here are just a few things. some ordinary people said these:
--Paul Smith: It is really good news for the businesses in the area. London gets a lot of tourists anyway, but this will bring more. Local people are thinking of things to do that will make the area more fun over the Olympics and make money as well.
--David Ford: London is busy anyway. I'm not sure that the government will get the transport right. The underground and the buses are too full now. The underground is so full at rush hour that it is dangerous. It will be ten times worse in 2012. I 'm going to rent out my flat and go on holiday when the Games are happening!
--Pearl Armstrong: It's great! I sport - it's exciting! I like to watch it and I like to play it. We will see all these great athletes at the Games. It will be good afterwards（后来）, because the stadiums and swimming pools and so on will all still be there, so they will let us use them.

(2)The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school.A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

Children build all kinds of things that they see in everyday life with building blocks. This gives them the chance to learn new things and life skills.

（4）Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?
Hu Peng and his four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week at Huagui Village near Xishui. They went door to do or there and asked kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked questions like these: Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief comes into your houses? They also asked 150 city kids the same question.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about lots of differences between children’s lives in cities an d those in villages. The biggest difference is independence. Hu’s team say that more than 60 percent of city kids can’t do much housework, but more than 80 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time to wash clothes or make their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with a lot: they cook, clean houses and feed farm animals. Hu’s team also saw that village kids had less pocket money. Many never use computers. They play in rivers or on mountains. Some don’t really like to make new friends.
Hu’s team said their trip gave them more self-confidence（自信心）because they were doing something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they saw they still had a lot to learn. ―When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us, ‖ Hu said. ―We have learnt to take care of ourselves. ‖

第二节阅读理解（共7小题，每小题2分，满分14分）
阅读下面两篇短文，从短文后所给的各题的四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
A
China now has 380 million smokers—about one third of the world total. Chinese smokers now become addicted to nicotine(尼古丁) at the age of 19, five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1997.
Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world, more than 800 million are in developing countries. And as the world’s largest
developing country, China also has the largest number of smokers.
Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are. Of the 380 million smokers, more than 100 million are under the age of 18, while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.
Such a high rate of smokers among men teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad effect on the young generation. Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is right and follow their example. It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unless measures are taken to stop teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate schools as non-smoking zones(区域).
What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke. They are aware of the results of the habit, such as high blood pressure and lung cancer. Their example only helps to make smoking of so many others seem normal.
If educated people set an example by stopping at least in public places, it would be much easier to tell people that it is uncivilized(不文明的) to smoke in public places.
In China, there should also be a national law to stop smoking in public places. These would make a great contribution to cutting the number of people in China who are smoking themselves into an early grave(坟墓).
( )68. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A. In China, those who get into the habit of smoking seem to be younger and younger.
B. More than half of teachers and doctors are smokers in China.
C. The writer suggests schools should be designated as non-smoking zones.
D. It is of a great help to stop smoking in public places.
( )69. Where does this passage mostly appear?
A. In a magazine about teenagers
B. In a magazine about health
C. In a magazine about laws
D. In a magazine about education
B
"How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?"How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago? And now! You can google it and find the answer immediately !
Google is the most popular Internet search engine in the world. It was invented by two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1993, when they were studying computer science at Stanford University, USA. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.
Internet search engines at that time were slow and many websites weren't so useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites.
Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their own money. They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $ 100,000, and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend's garage（车库）. The company name is Google, a word which comes from mathematics. A "google" is a very high number - 1 followed by a hundred zeros.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England, in 1942. He went to school in St. Albans. ①After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics. Then he went on studying in Cambridge University. As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.②When he was 20, he first noticed something was wrong with him. His mother was very worried and took him to see a doctor. He was sent to hospital for tests. He had an incurable(不可治愈的) illness. And the doctor said he would die before he was 23.
At first, he became very sad and disappointed. After coming out of the hospital, he suddenly realized that life was beautiful. Later he married, found a job and had three children. He also went on with some of the most important scientific research.Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor.③ He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad
their situation is, should lose hope. ―Life is not fair,‖ he once said. ―You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.‖

B
There is an English saying：―Laughter is the best medicine.‖ Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure , breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise . It increases blood pressure , the heart beating and breathing; It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach ,and even the feet .If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial （有益的）。
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries , some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics , in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them t o laugh . They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

How many text messages do you send each day? According to a survey of the Pew Research Center in the US, a third of US teenagers send more than 100 text messages a day. Short Messaging Service (短信息服务) is now more popular than face-to-face conversations, telephone calls and even social networking sites (社交网站) such as Facebook.
The Pew Research Center said teens prefer text-messaging to communicating with friends no matter where they are, even under the noses or parents or teachers. It seems that some teens are addicted (上瘾) to texting. This could have a bad influence on our lives, from study to health.

If parents bring up (抚养) a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius (天才), they will cause great damage (伤害) to him. According to several leading educational psychologists (心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations (期望) can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible (理智的) way, the child may succeed in doing very well, especially if the parents support their children in a good way.
Michael Li is very lucky. He shows great interest in music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and asking him to have extra piano and violin lessons. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra (管弦乐队). However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he doesn’t want to.
Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set so high a standard (标准) for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they ask him to enter every piano competition. They are very unhappy when he does not win. ―When I was your age, I won every competition I entered,‖ Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will let his parents down and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
( )70. Michael is lucky because ___________.
A. his parents help him in a good way
B. his family is rich enough to have a car
C. his father is a musician in an orchestra

阅读下面短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China.
①One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 11th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. ②Every day, people all over the world throw away about 2800 tons (吨) of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means we are cutting down 48000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late. 74. 将①处翻译成汉语。

Every school has its own set of rules to keep students disciplined (守纪律的). The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much stricter than others. There are also some rules that look strange or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules: Japan Most schools demand (要求) that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. Some Japanese schools tell students that they may not go to movies, leave home after sunset or play video games without permission from the school.
The US For safety, at some US schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into at school every day. This makes sure students won’t fall over on the slippery (滑的) floors and keep the schools clean. Gum chewing is not allowed in many US school buildings, as it is difficult to clean up. And if students chew gum in class, they may not concentrate on their study.
Britain Strange hairstyles are not allowe d in some British schools. But they might allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup. Two students had a special design shaved into their hair during the 2002 World Cup. But they were not accepted by their school after that because the school said the rules had changed since then.
Special school rules
①Students should wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts.
②Students may not go to movies, leave home afte r sunset or play video games
