阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（ 共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ano pants day is a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind. usually this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well.thats it?yeah, thats it. but from the core idea comes so much more. when large groups of people parade around in public without their pants, amazing things are bound to happen. at the very least, youll take your dull, miserable life a little less seriously, at least for one day.so i can wear a skirt instead? or “hey , no problem, i was going to wear a dress anyways!”youre very clever, but youre missing the point. articles of clothing like skirts, shorts, kilts, and dresses dont count, because people are encouraged to revel(狂欢) in the absence of pants, and not replace pants with other clothing. the point is to relax and enjoy the humor inherent in people not wearing pants. a good rule of thumb is to pretend like you were going to wear pants, and then just fail to put them on. is this a joke?in the same way that all of life is a joke, yes. but no. were not trying to cheat anyone, or satirize(讽刺) anything. were simply advocating a fun-filled holiday, and the more people who participate the more fun it is.did you know that in britain “pants” means underwear? shouldnt it be no trousers day instead?hmmm. this holiday could be extremely interesting in britain, then. but seriously, no pants day just sounds catchier, doesnt it? and besides, this gives british people something to mention when you bring up the holiday around them. they laugh and say, “in britain, pants means.” etc, and they feel good for being the center of attention. so bully for them! if i want to participate, what are the requirements?1.willing to take pants off on subway.2.able to keep a straight face about it.56. the first paragraph can be considered as _.a. a conclusionb. a commentc. a summaryd. a definition 57. the underlined sentence in the passage may mean_.a. you just dont understandthe real aimb. you arent getting the markc. you fail to find the particular placed. you dont know the details58. why is no pants day not a joke?a. because it plays a trick on somebody.b. because it laughs at anything in life.c. because it is meant to offer people fun.d. because it requires a lot of people to join.bno plans for the holidays?special story time for all lower primary pupilsschool libraryreading roomjune 6, 2 p. m-3 p. m,mr. stephen

a. the cruise b. the guitar lessons c. the school choir d. story time60. who will conduct the guitar lessons? a. the band instructor. b. the choir mistress. c. mr. stephen keene. d. an invited

of the following is true according to the passage ? a. youve got only one chance for absence if you sign up for the guitar lesson. b. you should pay $20 for the dinner under the starlit sky in the geography clubs twilight cruise. c. generally speaking, members of certain organization will get priority or reduced prices for activities held by that organization. d. the cruise fee for members of geography club is $10 (half of the payment). c dear editor,brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. the problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. by banning (禁止) all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.these people forget that when they were young, they could go to the south street soda fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. today you cant find an ice-cream soda anywhere in brockingham for less than $2! where can kids go for a snack?there is not a single restaurant in brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. have you noticed that brockingham families never dine in brockingham?fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.the city council claims that local businessmen, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. i agree that it is important to support local businesses, but i think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in brockingham.another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. if i need a tire for my bike, i have a choice of buying one at surf and peddle sport shop for $15 or driving to parkersburg discount center where i can buy the same kind of tire for $9. again, i think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city. wes woodrow 9th-grade student at brockingham high school63. why does wes woodrow write this letter to the editor?a.because the government bans all fast-food restaurants and discount stores in brockingham.b.because the writer cant find an ice-cream soda anywhere in brockingham for less than $2.c.because a family of four cant find a restaurant in brockingham to eat dinner for less than $100.d.because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.64. from the letter we can infer that _.a.the writer used to buy a lot of ice-cream soda b.the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurantsc. the governments ban benefits local businessmen muchd.discount stores usually offer a discount of 40%65. the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means _.a. cheap, not expensiveb. surprising, not expectedc. harmful, not helpful d. doubtful, not sure66. one way the writer of this letter tries to convince the reader is by _.a.complaining that someone has to drive him to parkersburgb.getting an after-school job in fast-food restaurant himselfc.suggesting that many businessmen have the same opiniond.giving specific examples of the high costs in brockinghamdboys need friends, suffer when they dont believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. a recent study of 10 to 15-year-old boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile（脆弱）. girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate（空手道）class or on the basketball court. competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt（萦绕心头）a boy for years.as boys mature（成熟）, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. during the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys life and a part in which his parents are not included. the confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. there is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. they may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.67. the common belief of adults is that boys _ .a. dont care about others as much as girls b. dont value friendship as much as girlsc. have the same friendship as girls d. have healthier friendship than girls68. according to the text, _.a. boys usually build friendship by playing competitive gamesb. boys like to have small groups of friendsc. boys friendship seldom result in anyone being hurtd. boys friendship can hardly end in failure69. the author mentions the study in para. 2 to prove _.a. girls value relationships more than boys b. most boys consider their friends very importantc. boys may be better at keeping friendship than girls d. boys may be more active in a friendship70. as a boy gets older, he tends to _.a. widen his circle of friends to include his parents. b. shift his focus from his friends to himself. c. be confused about what a friendship is. d. leave his parents out of his friends.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 we are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. 71 . so, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. you get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. later you think, “thank goodness, its over. im just not good at public speaking. i hope i never have to do that again.” cheep up! 72 . here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. ask

clearly. 73 . d
