第一節(jié) 閱讀理解 (共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)

    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

    Here’s an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician, Liu Qian, discovered it in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries – old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.

    As a seasoned magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.

   Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.

    Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship(演出技巧)。

   “It’s actually thinking rather than one’s manipulation (處理) skills that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more interesting,” Liu said.

   Liu Qian’s success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.

   Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.

   To refine his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for passersby, policemen and farmers.

   “Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,” Liu said.

41. The story is about ________.

   A. why people love magic            B. how Liu Qian became China’s hottest magician

   C. how fashionable magic is          D. what magic tricks are

42. People love to watch magic because ________.

   A. they love watching magicians make the impossible happen

   B. it arouses their curiosity

   C. they can’t figure out the secret of magic

   D. it is a centuries – old art

43. Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?

   A. He was interested in magic when he was little.

   B. He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.

   C. He couldn’t find an acceptable job after graduation.

   D. He became an amateur magician in his spare time.

44. What does the underlined word “seasoned” in Paragraph2 mean?

   A. experienced     B. freshman    C. amateur    D. unskillful

45. Liu Qian improved his performing skills by ______.

  A. learning from David Copperfield.

第三部分：閱讀理解 (共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)

請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選山最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題紙上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (資源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.

Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:  Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

1. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?

A. Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.

B. Hope their guests use less disposable things.

C. Wish their guests to save money.

D. Want their guests to use more disposable things.

2. Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____.

A. cheap food and drink                             B. disposable things

C. good service                                                  D. free TV programmes

3. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many disposable things are made of plastic.

B. Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.

C. Plastic is very bad for the environment.

D. Plastic breaks down easily.

4. What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?

A. Use shopping bags made of plastic.           

B. Do not throw away paper cups.

C. Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.  

D. Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）.

5. We can tell from the story that ____.

A. people don't like disposable things at all

B. we can't use paper or plastic bowls at school

C. we should use less plastic things and protect our environment

D. hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save money

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分；共40分）

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從各題的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Several interesting American museums tell about health subjects. One is the Doctor Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry. It is at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. That is where the first college in the world to train dentists began. The museum tells about the history of the medical treatment of teeth. Visitors can see some frightening devices that once were used to remove infected teeth. They also can see sets of teeth made of animal bone. They were made for a famous American —— the first President, George Washington.

Most people do not consider a visit to the dentist their idea of a good time. However, the director of the museum says he wants to make the museum a funny place to visit. He says he also wants to teach visitors about the importance of taking care of their teeth.

Another museum collects devices that help people hear. The Kenneth W. Berger Hearing Aid Museum is at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. The museum has more than three-thousand hearing aids from around the world. They include old and strange devices. Some hearing aids were made to look like other objects. That is because in the past many people did not want anyone to know they were wearing a hearing aid.

56. It is common for people to think it uneasy to pay a visit to ____.

A. the University of Maryland            B. the Museum of Dentistry

C. the Hearing Aid Museum              D. the dentist
