（时间：120分钟 满分：150分 命题：王建平 李晓燕）
第I 卷（客观题，共100分
I．阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（ABCD）中，选出最佳选项。
A
About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film ”Stars”!
1. Who is the author?
A. A cameraman. B. A film director.
C. A crowd-scene actor D. A workman for scene setting
2. What made the author feel cold?
A. The heavy snowfall. B. The man-made scene.
C. The low temperature. D. The film being shown.
3. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?
A. A new scene would be filmed. B. More stars would act in the film.
C. The author would leave the studio. D. The next scene would be prepared.
B
At Harton College---an English boarding school for boys, there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them.
The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class. But they must return to the school at six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film, he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried. He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.
When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He went round the school building to another door. That one was locked too. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he could not climb up the wall easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study.
He looked into the room---no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then someone turned on a light in the corridor(走廊). Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.
Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He couldn’t move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.
“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed?” Bob thought.
Mr Mannering read his book for another hour. Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.
“Thank God he didn’t find me under the sofa.” thought Bob.
Then Mr Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa.
“Would you turn off the light when you leave?” He said and left the study.

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious.Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
8. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
A. It's small in size. B. It's hidden in trees.
C. It's covered with wax. D. It's hard to recognize.
9. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A bee. B. A bird. C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper.
10. The honey guide is special in the way .
A. it gets its food B. it goes to church
C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees' nests
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey
C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover's Helper
D
IS IT TIME TO GET MP3?
Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC(personal computer)if they’re in the MP3 format.
What is it?
MP3 compresses music into small computer friendly files. You access MP3 music several ways: Music can be downloaded from websites that have converted vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can prerecord CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer’s speakers, “burn” it onto blank CDs or exchange MP3 files with friends using E-mail.
How much?
Software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free. It comes preinstalled on most new computers or can be downloaded from many websites, including MP. Some MP3 sites are free. Just type “MP3 sites ” into any search engine. The popular MP3 players start at around $50 and can hold hundreds of songs.A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.
Advantages
Mp3 turns your home PC into a tape recorder. Tiny MP3 players are the size of a card, making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.
Disadvantages
You may find that music at many sites is limited. And some only allow you to listen rather than download offerings. Others let you download music that can’t be copied to MP3 players. And a growing number of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.
12. How can you get MP3 music?
A. By turning your home PC into a tape recorder.
B. By taking your own music or songs with you.
C. By copying songs to a PC through the speakers.

Reading for Fun-Top Tips to Encourage Your Child
You know reading is fun. However, it’s a visual world, and kids may think of reading as boring uninteresting. But showing a child how wonderful reading is can be a lifelong gift. 16
1. The Right Environment.
17 Whether in school or at home, you can create a good reading area. This kind of area should prove very attractive to your kids-but the rule is that only reading can be done there. No phones, no electronics, no games, and so forth. Creating a comfortable environment gives kids an instant reward for reading.
2.18
Sometimes kids who don’t like to read for fun still like it when you read books to them. Try reading a chapter or section of a book, and leave off at a very exciting part for them to read. Then, tell your child that you can’t read any more now; you have something else to do, but he or she is welcome to keep reading these exciting parts on his or her own.
3. Read to and with Your Child
You’ve probably heard it said before, but it bears repeating. 19 You don’t always have to use the “exciting moments” to get them interested; just read to them and show them the wonderful world of books.
4. Regular Trips to the Library.
20 If he or she picks out a book, there’s more likelihood that he or she will actually read it. Also, many libraries host reading workshops and other programs to encourage reading. So get involved!
A. Using exciting Moments.
B. Reading Makes a Full Man.
C. Take your child with you on trips to the library.
D. Creating the right environment can help so much in encouraging reading.
E. Nothing discourages reading as much as not being able to find or reach the books!
F. Reading to and with your child is a great way to encourage them to read on their own.
G. Here are some tips to encourage your child to read and convince him or her that reading is fun!
