Mr. King works in a shop and drives a car for the manager. He drives carefully and can keep calm in time of danger. The manager pays him more.
Mr. Baker, one of his friends, works in a factory outside the city. It is far from his house and he has to go to work by bus. As the traffic is crowded in the morning, sometimes he is late for the work. He hopes to buy a car, but he hasn’t enough money. He decides to buy an old one. He chose a beautiful but cheap car. He said he wanted to have a trial(实验) drive, the seller agreed. He called Mr. King and asked him to help him.
Mr. King examined the car at first and then drove it away. At first he drove slowly and it worked well. Then he drove fast. And when he reached a crossing, the light turned red. He tried to stop it, but he failed and nearly hit an old woman. A policeman told him to stop, but the car went on until it hit a big tree by the road.

Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ---between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. (298)
52 What does the word “puberty” mean ________.
A. A period that you are a young child
B. A period that your body looks like a baby
C. A period that you develop your habits
D. A period that your body changes quickly
53If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ________.
A. you should have enough exercise
B. you can ask doctors for help
C. you should save the environment
D. You can record your growth during puberty
54 After reading the passage, we can infer ________?
A. how good it is to be a doctor
B. how much sleep time we need
C. why genes can’t d ecide everything
D. what healthy diet is
D
Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation(开采) of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there are many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and appearance of many more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future. Oil
is getting less and less year after year. It’s said that oil can last for only 50 years. Natural gas
perhaps will last about 38 years.
Oil can be used in many ways and it’s difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like
without oil. But oil isn’t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When
they think the rocks in a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built. A machine in the tower
cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe(钢管) is pushed down to stop the
sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up
the sides with great force(力量) by pressure(压力)of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes
high into the air. If oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the
top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps.(活塞)
If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through
pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas.
Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many
countries, the govenments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.
55 The writer wants to tell us ____________.
A. we should use the oil carefully
B. the oil is easy to find
C. we should save oil
D. the oil runs everywhere
56 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Oil can be used for many years.
B. Men study rocks in order to find oil.
C. Gas is in the middle of the oil field.
D. The price of oil will get higher and higher.
57. People use a steel pipe because _____.
A. the pipe is strong enough to stand there
B. the pipe can cut a hole down into the ground
C. oil can run through the pipe
D. sides and water can be kept outside the pipe

Growing up is not always easy. When we face difficulties，a spirit of Array depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help. That’s what Hong
Zh anhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us.
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县)，Henan
Province. When he was only 11，his father became badly ill. And one day he
came back with an unwanted baby girl. Howeve r, a year later, Hong’s mother
left home ___58____ So everything hard fell onto the young boy’s shoulders：to
take care of his father and the sister Chenchen，and to go on to study.
Although his life was hard，Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister. ____59___. He climbed tall trees to get birds’ eggs for his sister. He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school. ___60____ To take care of Chenchen，he worked hard to rent a room near his college for her, and send her to school.
After Hong’s story went public，he became a hero in people’s eyes. But Hong refused offers
from others. He said he felt encouraged by kind offers，but he could depend on his own work.

五、阅读与表达（共10分，每小题2分）
阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
If you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours eac h week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can’t earn (赚) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Riesa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.(249)
62 Can kids have full-time jobs at the age of 16?
__________________________________________________________________________ 63 If a boy is 15 years old, when can he work to earn money?
__________________________________________________________________________ 64 . How does Riesa make money?

“USA? British?Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find a job.
