A
I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend’s house. It was just after four o’clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮) 12.
The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.
Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, “Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”
Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said,
“Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4 pm and 5 pm on Thursday, March 13.”
51. What happened to the lift?
A. It had a fire accident. B. It stopped half way.
C. It was turned off by the writer. D. It moved fast up to the top floor
52. As the situation went on, the writer became _________.
A. more and more scared B. calmer and calmer
C. more and more bored D. clearer and clearer
53. Why did a bell ring from far away?

C. The building was on fire. D. The writer pressed the lift alarm bell.
54. Who most probably made the lift move again and go down to the ground floor?
A. The writer. B. The writer’s friend. C. The man. D. The writer’s father.
55. After reading the paper, the writer realized that he/she had ___________.

B
Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which one do you think is the best?
I think being healthy is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we
give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better
health care.
— Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is
an old saying, “If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to
fish, you’ll feed him for lifetime.” We need to help people to help themselves, not just
throw money at the problem when it appears.
——Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster (灾难）
like the earthquake. It’s good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should
give a small part of their salary(工资）to charity. If everyone did that, it would make
a big difference.
— Mary, aged 14, Stratford
Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the final answer. I think what these countries
need is a good government.
— Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the
people to help themselves.
— Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
56. Who pays more attention to Africans’ health care?
A. Mary. B. Robin C. Rebecca. D. Robert.
57. Which two children have the similar opinions?
A. Mary and Rebecca. B. Bethany and Mary.
C. Rebecca and Bethany. D. Rebecca and Robert.
58. What does Rebecca mean by saying “We need to help people to help themselves”?
A. We should help the teachers in Africa to improve their teaching ways.
B. We should help people in Africa to build a good government.
C. We should help the African people develop skills to make a living.
D. We should help the African people build more schools.
59. What is Mary’s opinion?
A. Everyone should do what they can to help the African people.
B. It is not good for people to give so much money to the African people.
C. It is very important to have a good government.
D. We can send more teachers there to help the African people.
60. Where are these suggestions posted?
