I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter. I
36
a red light and stopped. As I was
37 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was
38 in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some
39
on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty
40 to see homeless people asking for

42.
I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like, “43
money/food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”
I didn’t know why, but for some

48
on? Should I do something?
I didn’t. I did nothing.
The traffic moved
49 , and I went with it. About a block or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so
50
for him. So I decided to go back and ask him
51
I could buy him lunch and hear his story.
It took me about five minutes to
52
and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five minutes---but he was
53 .
“Where did he go so fast?” I wondered. So, there was
54 left to do except drive on.

A
The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face challenges in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing changes in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze（迷宫）looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of changes so they found no cheese.
After Chris finishes this story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

Have you ever been to the beautiful country of Holland and its capital Amsterdam? Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam’s story is a tale of two cities — one during the day and a completely different one at night.
During the day, this largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi. But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in the coffee shops, tourists gather to talk politics and smoke.
Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they’re all within a short cab ride of each other. For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And there’s the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.
But at night party-seekers come to the square. Hip hop or funk music (疯狂音乐) is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance. The clubs don’t shut down until 4 am.
And while you’re there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Don’t worry about getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions. And you’ll notice that half the people walking around in the streets are on bicycles they rent.
Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system. For about 10 dollars, you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise (巡游 the “Venice of the North”.
The city has a historic past. One impressive place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine Street. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Visitors can view Anne’s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.
66. What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amsterdam?
A. A carriage.
B. A bicycle.
C. A canal bus.
D. A water taxi.
67. When getting lost, a visitor can ask natives for directions in _______.
A. only Dutch
B. Dutch or English C. only English
D. Chinese and English
68. What can you learn about by visiting the Anne Frank House?
A. The wonderful past of Amsterdam.
B. The experience of a beautiful girl survivor.
C. The life of Jewish during World WarⅡ.
D. The suffering of the Dutch in wars.
69. The passage is intended to _______.
A. call up people’s memories of World WarⅡ
B. tell readers what A Tale of Two Cities is about
C. instruct visitors what to do and see in Holland
D. offer readers some information about Amsterdam
70. This passage is most likely taken from _______.
A. a personal diary
B. a test paper
C. a travel journal
D. a history book
D
We all know that birds use their feathers(羽毛) to line their nests. But have you ever heard of a bird eating its own feathers? It is a bird which lives in the water and it is called the grebe. The grebe’s feathers are silky to touch and are black or gray in color. It is usually 7 to 10 inches long and has short wings and a pointed bill(鸟嘴). It eats its own feathers and feeds them to their young ones too. And, it always prefers soft feathers, which it gets rid of throughout the year.
Scientists believe that its feather-eating habit is linked to the process in which it throws waste. The grebe has a unique excretory system. It throws out one or two balls of waste through its mouth every two days. The main food of grebe is fish. So the ball of waste has something hard to digest like fish bones and scales(鱼鳞). And there are parasites(寄生虫). It is important for the grebe to throw these parasites out. If it didn’t, they would make it sick. According to scientists, the feathers add fiber to its waste. It makes it easier to form the ball of waste and to throw it out.
Another interesting characteristic is its toes(脚趾). They are united to form a web near the base, while the rest are rounded like an umbrella. The shape of its toes helps it to swim. In fact, the grebes are excellent swimmers and they use their feet only for diving force under water.
The grebe makes its nest on floating leaves or plants and lays about two to ten eggs in it. Both the male and female grebe hatch(孵化) the eggs and take care of the young ones. The young grebes have stripes(条纹) on them.
There are 18 to 20 species of grebes living around the world, some of which are endangered.
71．What do we know about the grebe?
Its feathers feel smooth.
It has wings about 7 to 10 inches long.
It has stripes on the body when it grows up.
Only the mother grebe hatch and take care of the young grebes.
72．Using the “unique excretory system”, grebes probably _____.
A. digest hard food like bones
B. kill parasites in the body
C. eat food every two days
D. pass out the waste from the mouth
73．This passage is most probably found in _____
A. a story book about birds
B. an advertisement selling pets
C. a poster for birds movie
D. a science magazine
74. According to the passage, the bird “grebe” is a good swimmer mainly because of _____.
A. the shape of its feet
B. the color of its weather
C. its own nature
D. the shape of its toes
75. From the passage we can conclude_________.
A. Grebe’ feathers can help digestion
B. Grebe is dying out
C. All Grebes have stripes on them
D. Grebe lays eggs in the water

阅读下面短文回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。
〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.
〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context （上下文）, the more words one is exposed to（接触）, __________________. Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.
〔4〕Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.
〔5〕Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.
