第一節(jié)：閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
On a visit to my home state, I had a chance to drive through Cazenovia, a village on the shores of Lake Cazenovia. It seemed to me as if in a dream. I saw again the lakeshore meadow(草地)that has always remained an unforgettable part of my childhood memory. It was the place of family picnics（野炊）.
It was Grandma who had made it a rule to have the annual（每年的) outing. She had made known her wish that the family should meet each summer when travel was easier and eat together in the open air. It was her pleasure to have all her children, and their children, gather in the meadow, and spend the day eating, singing, playing, chatting, making jokes.
After so many years, I can still see her in my mind, a large figure, dressed in black although it was summer, seated under the shade of a large tree. The others spread around her, sitting on blankets on the grass. Despite(盡管) the joy, the family picnic was also a time of puzzlement(迷惑) for me. Who was this stranger in black with whom I could not speak?
What I knew of my grandmother, I heard from my mother: she believed in good food on the table. She knew you are what you eat and she loved America for all kinds of foods it provided to people like her, who, back in her home country, had been used to a simple life, with so little food.
We were about fifty kin (家族成員)gathered in that meadow, living proof of the family progress. Grandma’s sons and daughters all offered her services, goods and children. And yet, despite the good times and good food and the happy chatting people, I still felt a sense of strangeness. When I asked my mother why Grandma looked so strange and never spoke to us, I was told that Grandma’s home country was in Europe and she didn’t speak our language. In my eyes, she might as well have been from Mars(火星). I never remember hearing our own mother speak to her mother, although she must have. I only remember my shock at mother’s sadness when Grandma died. Was she crying for the silence that had existed like a wall between them?......
36. Whom does the underlined words “their children”  refer to?
A. The writer’s children            B. Grandma’s children
C. Grandma’s grandchildren        D. All the children in the family
37. Which of the following was a cause that made Grandma a “stranger” to the writer?

　 C. Grandma spoke a language different from the writer’s.

38. What does the writer mean by “l(fā)iving proof of the family progress?
A. The writer’s family were having a good time.
B. The writer’s family were having a modern life.
C. Life had improved a lot for the writer’s family.
D. The size of the writer’s family had grown greatly.
39.Why might Grandma have been from mars in the writer’s eyes?
A. Because Grandma acted very strangely.
B. Because the writer never heard Grandma speak to Mother.

三、閱讀理解（共15 小題，30分）
I like friends who share my happiness and sorrow,and who possess wings of their own and fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and help me to express my love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say,“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair, but our friendship was based on the idea that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we felt awful at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and visited many wonderful places. We walked until our despair disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters to each other in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…” We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理學家), who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
1. In the eighth grade, what did the author do while her classmates started developing proper social behavior?
A. Become serious about her studies.      B. Went to her friend’s house regularly.  
C. Learned from her claamates at school.   D. Wrote poems and stories with her friend.
2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means “______”.
A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us
B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared
D. we parted with each other in London
3. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend                .
A. call each other regularly       B. have similar personalities
C. write stories                 D. sometimes dream about each other
4. In the darkest moments, the author wants to              .
A. seek professional help         B. be left alone
C. stay with her best friend       D. break the silence
5. What is a good title for the passage?
A. Unforgettable Experiences     B. Remarkable Imagination
C. Lifelong Friendships            D. Noble Companions

III閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）
第一節(jié)　閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從41~55各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卷上將該項涂黑。
“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.?
Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
41. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
A.Different families have different ways of life.
B. Different definitions could be given to the word.
C. Different nations have different families.
D.Different times produce different families.
42. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.
A. supporting the family while the wife is financial?
B. defending the family while the wife is running the home
C. financial while the wife is running the home?
D. independent while the wife is dependent
43. Everything is decided in a family ____.
A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parents
C. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles
44. What is true concerning the book  Pride and Prejudice?
A. It is the best book on marriage.
B. It is a handbook of marriage.
C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
D. It provides a lot of information of former?time wealthy families.
45.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.
A. the right marry                      B. more parental support
C. choosing husbands                      D. social position?

Have you ever stayed up late? If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can make you tried and grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.
Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night’s sleep is very important. It helps kids be able to do their best during the day.
A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative(創(chuàng)造性的) thinking. For the study, two groups of students answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep.
While you sleep at night, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out(整理) all the information that you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely help you do your best at school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.
小題1:The underlined word grumpy in the first paragraph means_______.
A．excited and happyB．active and creative
C．impatient and angryD．bored and weak

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
小題1:What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
A．The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B．The practice of choice is difficult.
C．The right of choice is given but at a price.
D．Choice and right exist at the same time.
小題2:Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
小題3:By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that _______.
A．advanced products meet the needs of people
B．products of the latest design flood the market
C．competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D．everyday goods need to be replaced often
小題4:What is this passage mainly about?
A．The variety of choices in modern society.
B．The opinions on people’s right in different countries
C．The Problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D．The helplessness in purchasing decisions

Everyone wants to be a pop star. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pop star.   71   You get to sing and dance and make voices. People are willing to pay you tons of money and, of course, many fans love you. It’s a perfect life; what could be the problems?
