B
Late in the summer of 1992, Scot Kraus and Moira Brown were in Canada , eating pizza with some coworkers. Suddenly , the restaurant’s owner came into the dining room and asked :“Is there a Scott Kraus ? There is a phone call for you .”
They were in southern Nova Scotia , about 150 kilometers( 93 miles ) southeast of Maine. It was practically the middle of nowhere ,Kraus thought. Who could possibly know he was there, and what could be so important ?
After taking the call , he returned with terrible news. A dead right whale had been seen near Grand Manna Island , on the western side of the Bay of Fundy . This is near the border between Maine and Canada.
Kraus and Brown are biologists with the New England Aquarium in Boston . They study the North Atlantic right whale , one of the world’s rarest species. Some cruise ( 巡航 )along the coastlines of North America ; other live off of Europe. Together , their numbers totaled fewer than 350 in 1992 , so losing even one was troubling.
The next morning , the scientists set sail to view the whale, hoping they could figure out how it died. As her carcass came into view, they sadly recognized that they knew this whale . It was one they had earlier named Delilah.
It appeared the 13-meter-long animal had been accidentally hit by one of the ships that regularly sail through the Bay of Fundy. The biggest ones can be as tall as 10-story buildings, span more than 300 meters and weigh tens of thousands tons . These ships cruise much faster than a 37-metric-ton right whale can swim. Even if a captain saw a right whale in his path, it could take a half hour to bring the ship to a stop. Delilah never stood a chance.
Later that day, Brown and Kraus talked to others who had seen the dead whale. One storekeeper brought out pictures he had taken. The biologists could make out a small calf(幼鲸) in the photos . It had been swimming beside Delilah’s body.
41. What did Kraus feel when hearing a call for him ?
A. Worried B. Angry C. Excited D. Puzzled
42. Which word has the same with the underlined word in paragraph 5 ?
A. dead body B. baby whale C storekeeper’s picture D. the big ship
43. What caused the death of the right whale ?
A. the hunt of sailors B. the water pollution
C. the bad weather D. a big ship
44. If the passage continues, what will be the following topic ?
A. To protect the right whales. B. To deal with the dead whale.
C. To collect some information about the calf .
D. To call on the ships reduce their speed.

My mother is in her forty and has long curly hair and big bright eyes. She often wears a happy smile on her round face. Whenever I met with difficulty she always offers me advice and encouragements to get through them Once I failed in a math exam, I was terrible upset and also worried what she would be very angry. Not blamed me, she helped me find out the reasons, then chose some similar examples to explain me. With her help, I made many great progress in my math.

五、书面表达
One possible version:
Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.
According to a recent survey, about 85.5 percent of middle school students think that their handwriting is poor. Yet for various reasons, many students don’t want to improve their handwriting. 51.5 percent of the students think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting, and 32.3 percent believe that they are so busy with the study that they do not have time to practise. 10.9 percent think that practising handwriting is useless.
As the saying goes, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, in my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future
