【題目】 Old Mrs. Lynn was working in the cottage, hanging the washed clothes on the line. What she wasn’t aware was that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were sure that she was a witch and wanted to find the evidence.

They watched nervously as she took a broomstick to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn’t get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly — signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack. (干草堆).

The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack, followed by Michael, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Accidentally, she tripped and crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.

“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.

“What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”

After thinking for a while, Julia said, “Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”

Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady’s forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.

“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”

Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when I fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.” The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!

【1】Mrs. Lynn stopped sweeping when ________.

A.her doorstep became very clean

B.she heard the hen making sounds loudly

C.she noticed the children in the tree

D.her cat Michael managed to get her attention

【2】Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs. Lynn when she fell?

A.He thought that she could be cheating them.

B.He was afraid of the three-legged black cat.

C.He did not think that she was hurt in the fall.

D.He knew he and the others shouldn’t have been in her tree.

【3】Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prudently” ?

A.Slowly.B.Hurriedly.

C.Carefully.D.Quietly.

【4】What is the main idea of the story?

A.Constant dropping wears away a stone.

這是一篇記敘文。文章講到幾個小孩以為林恩太太是一個女巫，想要找到她是女巫的證據(jù)。但林恩太在干活的時候不小心摔傷了頭，孩子們趕緊上去幫助老太太，在孩子們和大人們的幫助下老太太獲救了，孩子們非常的內(nèi)疚，但也很高興老太太并不是女巫。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段第一句、最后一句及第二段第一句提到“They watched nervously as she took a broomstick to sweep the dirt from her stone steps....The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly — signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack….The old lady put aside her broomstick”老太太在打掃臺階的時候，她的母雞開始發(fā)出很大的聲音時，老太太才抬起頭來。母雞在干草堆上生了一個蛋，然后她放下掃把向干草堆走去，即老太太是聽到母雞的聲音就停下了打掃。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第五段提到““What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”Patrick問道要不要去幫助這位老太太的時候，回答到萬一是個陷阱呢？可知，為什么琳恩夫人摔倒時帕特里克不愿意幫助她是因為帕特里克認(rèn)為老太太是個女巫，他認(rèn)為老太太的行為是在欺騙他們。故選A。

【3】詞句猜測題。前文提到孩子們認(rèn)為這位老太太是一個女巫，而且認(rèn)為老太太的行為就是在欺騙他們，且第六段第一句提到“After thinking for a while…”在思考了一會之后，孩子們才決定幫助這位老太太，由此說明孩子們非常的謹(jǐn)慎。故劃線詞的意思是“謹(jǐn)慎地”。A. Slowly.緩慢地；B. Hurriedly.急匆匆地；C. Carefully.謹(jǐn)慎地；D. Quietly.安靜地。故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。文章第一段提到有幾個小孩認(rèn)為林恩太太是女巫，并且想要找到證據(jù)。在她不小心受傷后，孩子們也是猶豫了一會才去幫助她。老太太在醫(yī)院接受治療后非常感激幫助過她的孩子們，孩子們這時候才內(nèi)疚地意識到老太太真的不是女巫。故事告訴讀者不要從一個人的外表去判斷一個人的品質(zhì)。故選B。

【題目】 There are thousands of international students who enroll (注冊) in private high schools in the U.S. each year. 【1】

Cape Cod Academy is located in one of the least diverse parts of Massachusetts. Tony Zhang comes from Guiyang, a city in southern China. When asked about his first day there, Tony said he had no friends for the first couple of weeks. 【2】 Not because of the clothes, but because he chose a high school nearly 8,000 miles from home. Tony wants to experience a new culture and go to college in the U.S. He says the move forced him to grow up.

When another teenager Catherine Zhao got here from Beijing, it took her quite a while to get used to small-town Cape Cod. There are no skyscrapers and everybody drives. 【3】 “In China, we learn English in class, we know how to write, how to read, but there are not too many opportunities to talk there,” she said.

【4】 Some students chat with their parents via the Internet every day. Tony also talked about the difficulties he and other Chinese students faced there. “I will say they, the American students, in general, think we’re math geniuses or science geniuses. But, you know, to be honest, we are human beings as well, so we play sports, too,” he said. Another thing was, when they saw him writing Chinese, they would be like, “Oh my God, how can you even do that, to communicate in such a complicated language?”

Realizing that is part of life here for Tony and his Chinese classmates, Catherine is taking the long view, and hopes to study piano at Boston’s Berkley School of Music. Tony wants to major in economics and education at Brown University. After, he says, he wants to go back to China and work on the education system there. 【5】

A.There’s homesickness, too.

B.As we can see, he’s matured a lot.

C.Actually, he isn’t like many teenagers.

D.That can bring on some serious culture shock.

E.She said the biggest challenge for her was talking.

F.Above all, they have to overcome the culture shock first.

G.She admitted that she hated communicating with other peers.

【題目】 I still remember my first time going to the Chinese company's canteen. When I stepped onto the elevator, each one was full of people. 【1】 However, there was no sign of fire and people were laughing and talking. I followed the flow of the crowd to the doors of the canteen. It occurred to me that in China everyone has lunch almost at the same time. 【2】The canteen followed this schedule, only being open a few hours per day.

When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind. 【3】 Unlike my school lunchroom, here everyone lined up and took a tray, and instead of silverware there were chopsticks and soup spoons.

As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didn't recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right, 【4】 I ended up taking a pork and cucumber dish and a tofu salad.

I have been at my company for over a year and a half. 【5】 I have learned what dishes I like, mostly by trial and error, and a lot of the workers know me and say hello to me.

I am still getting used to eating lunch at "lunchtime", but I think the schedule definitely helps keep me on track during the day. I wish there were something like this at offices in my hometown.

A.I thought I had missed a fire drill.

B.There was no emergency; it was just lunchtime.

C.I noticed things at lunchtime were a bit different.

D.I felt that I needed to make some quick decisions.

E.The canteen reminded me of my school lunchroom.

F.And now I am glad to say I am more confident in the canteen.

G.I was not very familiar with the local food or restaurants in China.

【題目】 Back in November 1988, Robert Tappan Morris was a 20-something graduate student at Cornell who wanted to know how big the Internet was- that is, how many computers were connected to it. So he wrote a program that would travel from computer to computer and ask each machine to send a signal back to a control server, which would keep count. That was how the world’s first cyber (網(wǎng)絡(luò)) attack set the stage for modern cyber security challenges.

The program worked well. Morris had known that if it traveled too fast there might be problems, but the limits he built in weren’t enough to keep the program from blocking up large sections of the Internet, both copying itself to new machines and sending those pings (電子脈沖) back, When he realized what was happening, even his messages warning system administrators about the problem couldn’t get through. Large numbers of Internet-connected computers are told to send lots of traffic to one particular address, overloading it with so much activity that either the system shuts down or its network connections are completely blocked. Morris’s program is now known as the “Morris worm”.

Worms and viruses are similar, but different in one key way: A virus needs a command, from a user or a hacker (黑客), to run its program. A worm, by contrast, hits the ground running all on its own. For example. even if you never open your email program, a worm that gets onto your computer might email a copy of itself to everyone in your address book.

In a time when few people were concerned about harmful software and nobody had protective software in his computer, the Morris worm spread quickly. It took 72 hours for researchers at Purdue and Berkeley to stop the worm. It affected tens of thousands of systems, Cleaning up the infection cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for each affected machine.

Morris wasn’t trying to destroy the Internet, but he was sentenced t0 three years of probation (緩刑) and a roughly US $ 10.000 fine. In the late 1990s, though. he became a dot-com millionaire- and is now a professor at MIT.

【1】What is Morris’s intention 1o write the program known now as the “Morris worm”?

A.To test the effect of protective software.

B.To start a harmful attack on the Internet.

C.To see how well a program can work on the Internet.

D.To get the number of the computers connected to the Internet.

【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.What loss the problem caused.

B.How the problem was dealt with.

C.How the unexpected problem came about.

D.What Morris did to prevent the problem from expanding.

【3】What does the underlined part “hits the ground” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Copies itself.B.Gets on the Internet.

C.Gets the user’s command.D.Copies your email address book.

【4】What happened to Morris after the attack?

A.He was punished for it.B.He invented a protective software.

C.He got help from a millionaire.D.He was asked to clear up the Internet.

【題目】 Dyslexia is a problem that interferes (干擾) with the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves (涉及)areas of the brain that process language.

Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading, in order to provide early help. John Gabrieli is leading a study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools. He says, “We partner with schools that have kindergartens. What we do is, for all the children whose parents permit them to participate, we give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read.

So far, fifty of the kindergartners have been examined in a machine that shows brain activity. The scanner uses a high-energy magnetic (有磁性的) field and radio waves to “l(fā)ook” inside the body. Written tests which are often used in previous studies are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems. Professor Gabrieli says, “Brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems.

And with reading problems, early identification is important. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less these interventions can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science require one to read textbooks.

【1】What do we know about Dyslexia?

A.It results in poor eyesight.

B.It is related to brain activity.

C.It only causes reading difficulty.

D.It has an influence on intelligence.

【2】What does the underlined word “interventions” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Approaches.B.Researches.

C.Instructions.D.Treatments.

【3】How is Professor Gabrieli’s study different from early ones?

A.It is scientifically based.

B.It focuses on written tests.

C.It examines children’s brains.

D.It needs parents’ participation.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Dyslexia – a Learning Disorder Involving Intelligence

B.Dyslexia – a Problem Relating to Kindergartners

C.A Way Identifying Dyslexia at an Early Stage

D.A Machine Showing Brain Development
