On one trip, I was about 10 years old. I was playing around in the back of the car 17 my grandfather was driving. My grandmother had the passenger seat.

三、 阅读理解
阅读下面旳三篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给旳A B C D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
A
When meeting strangers, we usually notice their hair, skin colour and clothes. We like to group those things we don't know by comparing them with the things we know.
So what's wrong with this? For example, we think that short boys can't possibly be good basketball players. The girls who love to be dressed up can't be excellent students. Or we think shy students can't be good at giving speeches. These are typical (经典旳) examples of stereotypes.
Stereotypes make people form a wrong opinion about others at first sight. In fact, it takes a lot more than just looking at a person to know and understand him or her. The following is my story.
One day, it was snowing, but not heavily. Before class, I collected all the exercise books and sent them to the teachers' office. The exercise books looked piles in my arms, so I could hardly see the ground. Suddenly, I slipped over (滑倒) and dropped all the exercise books I was carrying.
I tried to stand up but failed, I was about to pick them up when I saw a boy coming towards me. It was Mike.
Mike and I had been classmates for over 2 years, but we had never shared more than 5 sentences together. He was a boy with few words, but I liked talking. We were totally different. I didn't like him and didn't want to be seen at that moment.
"Anything serious?" His words brought me out of my thoughts. "I saw you sitting on the ground from the back window, so I rushed here. Let me help you!" He helped me up and picked all the exercise books up.
Seeing this, I was so moved that I couldn't say a single word.
We walked towards the teachers' office and this time, he talked a lot to me. I found quite a different Mike.
I took a deep breath and said to myself: "I nearly made a big mistake--judging (#] IJf )Mike only by his appearance,"
( )26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as typical examples of stereotypes?
A. Dishonest children can't be others' true friends.
B. Shy students can't be good at giving speeches.
C. Short boys can't possibly be good basketball players~
D. The girls who love to be dressed up can't be excellent students
( )27. Why did the writer dislike Mike at the beginning?
A. Because the writer didn't know Mike at all.
B. Because Mike didn't hand in his exercise book.
C. Because the writer thought they weren't the same type.
D. Because Mike didn't help the writer collect the exercise books.
( )28. The writer probably wants to tell us
A. we'd better not go outside on snowy days.
B. we should get along well with our classmates.
C. people shouldn't judge someone at first sight.
D. people with different personalities can't be friends

The Diary of a Young Girl was written by a girl named Anne Frank. It is a true experience
of a teenager in wartime (World War l] , 1939~1945) and it has also become a symbol of the
victory of the human spirit.
Here's one of Anne's diaries.
Friday, I0 September, 1943
Dear Kitty,
Every time I write to you something special seems to have happened, but they are more often unpleasant than pleasant things. However, now there is something wonderful going on. Last Wednesday evening, 8 September, we sat around listening to the seven o'clock news and the first thing we heard was: "Here follows the best news of the whole war. Italy has capitulated!" Italy's unconditional surrender! The Dutch program from England began at quarter past eight. "Listeners, an hour ago, I had just finished writing the chronicle of the day when the wonderful
news of Italy's capitulation came in. I can tell you that I have never deposited my notes in the wastepaper basket with such joy!" "God Save the King" the American national anthem, and the "Internationale" were played. As always, the Dutch program was uplifting, but not too optimistic.
Still we have troubles, tOOl it's about Mr. Koophuis. As you know, we are all very fond of him, he is always cheerful and amazingly brave, although he is never well, has a lot of pain, and is not allowed to eat much or do much walking. "When Mr. Koophuis enters, the sun begins to shine," Mummy said just recently, and she is quite right. Now he has had to go into the hospital for a very unpleasant abdominal operation and will have to stay there for at least four weeks. You really ought to have seen how he said good-bye to us just as usual--he might have simply been going out to do a bit of shopping.

Yours, Anne

Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know? How do we know,for example, that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?
The key to these questions is "evidence", which means the facts, signs or objects that make you believe something is true.
Sometimes evidence means actually( 实际上) seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling)that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help. The "evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky,but with a telescope(望远镜) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling... ) is called an observation.
Often evidence isn't just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!)actually observed it. But detectives can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect. If a person's fingerprints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.
Prediction(预测)helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started.
People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.
What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself:"Is there any evidence for that?"And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them:"What kind of evidence is there for that?"Remember, always think carefully before you believe a word.
( )32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. What you see directly is real evidence.
B. Prediction helps to prove something if it is true.
C. People should always believe their inside feelings.
D. Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.
( )33. Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 4?
A; To explain what prediction is. B. To tell what observation is called.
C. To introduce how detectives work. D To prove evicloneo is not just observation
( )34. The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 5 means
A. finally B. probably C. completely D. luckily
( )35. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Evidence speaks B. Scientists make predictions
C. Inside feelings help get ideas D. Observation offers the facts
