三、阅读理解 阅读下面旳短文，然后根据短文内容，在每题所给旳四个选项中选出最佳选项。(本大题共20分，每题2分)
A
A reader wrote to say that she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems that everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you find it difficult to do this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!
46. This text is written for ____________.
A. teachers B. parents C. students D. Visitors
47. The expression “feeling left out” means “ ____________” in Chinese.
A. 受冷落 B. 被调侃 C. 挨批评 D. 遭袭击
48. Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because ____________.
A. they miss their old friends a lot B. they have no time to stay with others
C. teachers know who wants a new friend D. they are shy or not good at making friends
B
Weekday mornings are very busy for US middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk, you need a carpool (拼车). A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars.
Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts (甜点) for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mom or dad drives the carpool, your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社会学) study and your first time to work with others.
Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine (想象) sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house, watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7:48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool.
49. What is a carpool?
A. Parents take turns to drive their kids to school.
B. Parents drive kids to schools on their way to work.
C. Kids go to school in their parents’ cars.
D. Kids drive their own cars to school.
50. What can students learn from a carpool?
A. How to drive a car. B. How to get along with others.
C. What to do with parents. D. Real teamwork.
51. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. If kids live far away from school, they are always late for school.
B. US children enjoy carpooling better than taking a school bus.
C. Kids can learn real life lessons in a carpool.
D. Kids often have enough time to study in a carpool.
C
I hid the long black bag in the garage (车库) two days ago. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief (小偷) in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I pulled the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤子).
After much hard work, I finally completed my work. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.
52. Why did the man feel nervous?
A. He left the party too late.
B. He was afraid of the darkness.
C. He didn’t know where the black bag was.
D. He worried that others would know his secret.
53. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to_______.
A. thieves B. parents C. children D. neighbours
54. In what order did the man do the following?
a. Read the kids a story. b. Had a shower. c. Worked in the moonlight.
d. Pulled the bag from the garage. e. Went to a party.
A. e-d-a-b-c B. e-a-d-c-b C. a-b-e-d-c D. a-e-d-c-b
55. How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work?
A. Interested. B. Excited. C. Tired. D. Angry.

Often bags and clothes show the name of the company that made them. This is a popular form. Sometimes designers use a special picture or symbol called a logo. Logos appear(出现) on many different products(产品). They are popular because when you see a logo, it is hard to forget that product or company.
