9、It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves  1  in the cool wind. In such a season, I liked walking  2  in the leaves, listening to the sound of them.

Autumn is a   3  season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me   4  . But one day, the sound of a violin  5  into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was   6  in playing her violin.

I had   7  seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn’t realize that I had been  8  there for so long but my   9  did not seem to disturb her.

Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building  10  I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only audience. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became  11  . Though we didn’t know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believed she also liked me.

Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my   12  , the girl came over to me.

“You must like violin,” she said.

“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

Suddenly, a  13  expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.

“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that   14  me, ” she said.

“In fact, it was your playing  15  gave me a meaningful autumn.” I answered.

“Let us be friends.”

The girl smiled and I smiled.

I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind.  16  I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a   17  ; so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always  18  you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. Many people will step in your life, but only   19  friends leave footprints.

I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the   20  . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

8、What Is a Boy?

Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.

Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.

When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.

A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.

He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water（in its natural habitat）, large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.

Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half-eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.

A boy is a magical creature - he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”

7、When the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of the poison. They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned. It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick．Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out．Even the poorest of the poor wouldn’t eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick.

Soon it became political and popular．Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they  didn’t care about politics. Everyone was in a position where he or she didn’t know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. The poor town didn’t know how to deal with the situation.

One day, a well—known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions．He went to pools and the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.

“I am sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted；it is poisoned．I know who has

been poisoning you all for such a long time．It is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution. A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. No one here has taken good care of the environment. It is no wonder all of you have been sick.” Shocked at the

5、American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection. Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, did the study. The team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. This chemical is an amino acid（氨基酸）called L-theanine. The scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells. That’s the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the body’s defenses.

First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens（抗原）found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the scientists added some bacteria. Within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance（物質(zhì)）that fights infection. Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.

In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.

Two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.

Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study. He says the antigens added to the gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.

Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. If the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.

1．We may know from the text that ________ can be found in different kinds of tea.

       A．Gamma delta T cells                            B．L-theanine

3．According to Dr Bukowski, ________.

       A．the findings of the study have already proved to be true

       B．he has taken some amino acid L-theanine from tea and made a drug with it

4、“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in the 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.

1．What can we learn from the text?

       A． “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

       B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

       C．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

       D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

2．What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?

       A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

       B．Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

       C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

       D．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

3．Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

       A．One of Tolkien’s students.                    B．Stanley Unwin’s son.

       C．Allen & Unwin.                                    D．Bilbo Baggins.

4．What is mainly discussed in the text?

       A．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

       B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

       C．A famous professor at Oxford University.

       D．The power of the magic ring.
