八、阅读理解。(共12小题，每题2分，共24分)
A
My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I’m going to talk to you about my understanding of learning history.
Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way，I should say you are far from the truth.
In fact，if we study history , we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events (事件) of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors' (祖先) lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.
To be honest, __▲__. Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.
Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors’ decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation (一代人) will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.
History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places，and events that can influence the future.
Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing? Or do you have any doubt about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.
46. What kind of writing is the passage above?
A. A diary. B. A story. C. A speech. D. A letter.
47. Which of the following can be put in the ▲__ in Paragraph 4?
A. the mistakes of the past won't help us
B. I don't like the idea of learning history
C. it is not easy to learn the subject of history
D. not everything that happened in the past is good
48. According to Paragraph 5, the decisions of our generation will ____.
A. show what is happening to us
B. build and develop our country
C. influence the people in the future
D. help understand the people in the past

49. The writer wrote the passage to ____.
A. introduce some important people in history
B. develop students’ interest in learning history
C. explain different people's understanding of history
D. show the relationship between the past and the future
B
Dear Jackie，
Hello from Hong Kong! My class tour of China is almost over. Hong Kong is our last stop. We arrived here on Friday night, and I'm having a lot of fun.
On Saturday, we visited the top of Victoria Peak. The view (视野) from the top was incredible! I could see all of Hong Kong. There were also some nature trails (观景小路) on the peak. We went for a short walk and then had lunch in the afternoon.
In the evening, I went with two friends to the Temple Street Night Market. I bought some souvenirs (纪念品) to bring home. It was really a great day!
Yesterday, our group went to Disneyland (yes, there's one here)! The park was crowded, and the lines for rides were long. Today is Monday, and we're going to Ocean Park to see pandas. I'm really looking forward to it!
We will leave for home tomorrow night and arrive in Vancouver on Thursday morning. See you soon!
Yours，
Natalie

Tom Sawyer first appeared in Mark Twain's book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He also appears in his three other books. Tom is an orphan (孤儿). His curiosity (好奇心) and friendship with a boy named Huckleberry Finn often get him into trouble with his serious Aunt Polly.
The book includes lots of dialogues (对话) that show how language was spoken at that time. Almost no writer had done that before and it upset (使心烦意乱) some people when it came out in 1876. However, it has remained a popular and important book since then.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll. In the 1865 book, a young girl named Alice falls down a hole and drops into a strange land. As she travels through the land, she meets many characters, solves puzzles (谜) . . .
Carroll had a degree in maths from Oxford. When he wrote the book, he put some maths puzzles in the story. Many readers today still enjoy solving these puzzles.
Lord of the Flies was written by William Golding. The book is about a group of young boys. They have to stay on an island together after their plane has an accident. As they wait for help, they try to live off the land and build a small society. However, the boys don't get along, and have trouble keeping the peace.
The book came out in 1954. Although it was not a great success at first, it became popular later. By the early 1960s, it was taught in many schools in Britain. It has been made into films twice in English, in 1963 by Peter Brook and 1990 by Harry Hook.
54. Why were some people unhappy about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer when it came out?
A. It has lots of daily dialogues.
B. The main character is from a poor family.
C. It has many maths puzzles that are difficult to solve.
D. The main character had appeared in Mark Twain's other books.
55. Lewis Carroll was good at ____.
A. making films B. making trouble
C. maths D. English
56. In the book Lord of the Flies, a group of boys ____.
A. try to build a plane
B. often help each other
C. enjoy living on the island
D. have trouble getting along

④When did they come out?
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
九、任务型阅读。(共3小题，每题2分，共6分)
“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in？” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(承担)to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth?
We know that there are many famous people who get success in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
58. List two advantages of studying abroad.
________________________________________________________________________
59. What burden does studying abroad bring to the family?
________________________________________________________________________
60. What does Liu Xiang's story tell?
________________________________________________________________________
