A
When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.
I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(哈哈笑)escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.
Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.
For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.
It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity(成熟)doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.
Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.

A.Bedtime used to be the writer’s favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.
B.Uncle Ian liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.
C.The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.
D.Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Ian.
22.The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________.
A.he could understand her
B.he was a fashionable monkey
C.he could talk with her
D.he was her most honest listener
23.We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.
A.keeping stuffed animals is babyish
B.maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility
C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up
D.human beings should be kind to animals
24.We can infer from the text that _________.
A.the writer is still a teenager
B.the writer is now a middle-aged woman
C.Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone
D.Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face
B
The Hawaiian Islands are situated about two thousand miles away from North America, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Despite(尽管) the distance the islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The islands were all formed by volcanic eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.
On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions. They don’t use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means “mountain”. The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means “the sea”. The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a tourist might go as follow.
TOURIST: Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?
HAWAIIAN: Well… Let me see! From here it’s two blocks mauka, and then one block makai. You can’t miss it!
25. Choose the most suitable title for the article.
The Big Island.
B. Volcanoes.
C. Giving Directions in Hawaii
D. The Hawaiian Islands.
26. Which of the following items does the passage NOT discuss?
A. Hawaii’s location.
B. How to give directions in Hawaii.
C. Volcanoes.
D. The climate.
27. In Hawaii the mountains are in the center of the islands because
.
of the weather
the islands were created by volcanic eruptions
of the geological conditions
of the islands’ location in the Pacific
28. To find your way in Hawaii, you must
.
refer to geographical directions
refer to well-known establishments
refer to the earth and the sea
refer to the location of the mountains and the sea
C
If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:
1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.
4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
29. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.
A. whether the reading material is easy or difficult

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The benefits of walking to school
Encouraging your child to walk to school has many benefits.
36
The rates of childhood obesity and illnesses such as type II Diabetes (糖尿病) can be prevented by a healthy dose of walking.
37 On average around half of all children do not do the minimum one hour a day of physical activity advised by the Health Education Authority. A quick walk to school can help them get their daily exercise and arrive at school or home, refreshed and energized.
38
There was very strong evidence that walking to school improves children’s social development. This related to social contacts, independence and road sense. The walkers reported a happy social experience. It is believed that getting a lift to school each day can lead to a child becoming lethargic (无生气的).
According to research, the average drive to school and back releases 800g of CO2 into the air. 39
If walking to school once a week can save 20 per cent of CO2 gas produced by driving every day, how much CO2 can be saved a year!
Last but not least, encouraging your child to walk to school will save you money. 40
Since walking to school has so many health, social, environmental and economical benefits, why not let your child walk from now on?
A. It is enough to blow over 60 balloons.
B. The following are some of them in different aspects.
C. Walking can have a positive effect on a child’s emotional health.
D. You will spend less money on transport fares or petrol of course.
E. Furthermore, 50 per cent of children still don’t regularly walk to school.
F. In fact, walking helps protect the body from many serious illnesses later on in life.
G. Parents, children and teachers are asked to think about the benefits of walking to school.

Whether or not should Senior 3 students go spring outing? We have had a heated discussion. Opinions are divided on the question.
Most students, about 65%, are for the idea that Senior 3 students should go spring outing. They think it good for their health to be close to nature and breathe some fresh air and what’s more, they can relax themselves for a while and rest their brains so that they will be more energetic. They think it will do good to their students.
On the other hand, about 35% students are against the idea. They say that with college entrance examination drawing near, they don’t feel like going anywhere. Besides, they think going spring outing will take at least a day off. They can’t afford the time. They think they should fix their attention on their studies
