But something made David_20_. I can still remember he was always_21_a smile and willing to help. He always_22_after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He_23_just simply smile and ask what else he could do，then thank me for letting him stay and slowly_24_home.Weeks passed and the_25_over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of_26_before the holiday break. I smiled in_27_as the last of them hurried out the door.

I lifted the lid and to my_31_saw nothing. I looked at Davids smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it s_32_.”“Oh no it isnt，” said David，“Its full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldnt see or touch unless you know its there.”Tears filled my eyes_33_I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given_34_to.

In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives(观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other peoples writing can one discover what works, what doesnt and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction(文学作品). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matterthe volume(量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldnt necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.36What can be inferred about the author as a child?AHe never watched TV.BHe read what he had to.CHe found reading unbelievable.DHe considered reading part of his life.37The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “_”Aan idea Ba sound qualityCa way of writing Da world to write about38What effect does reading have on the author?AIt helps him to realize his dream.BIt opens up a wider world for him.CIt makes his college life more interesting.DIt increases his interest in worldwide travel.39Which of the following can be the best title of this text?AWhy do I read? BHow do I read?CWhat do I read? DWhen do I read?BThe tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates(种植园). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often runed so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender hoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best in got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates like to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing(加工)tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment(发酵)under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hotair blower until they become rolledup black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.40In the first paragraph, the word“pruning”means_.Aregular cutting of the plants.Bfrequent wateringCregular use of chemicalsDgrowing the plants high in the mountain41One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that_.Athey work harder than men do in pickingBthey can throw their picking more easily into the basketsCtheir fingers fit them better for the jobDthey can move easily find the twin leaves42How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?AThree.BFour. CFive.DSix.43Whats the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo introduce various methods of tea processing.BTo persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka.CTo tell a story that had happened in the tea gardens.DTo inform readers of tea growing, picking and processing.CWhat would the world look like if it lost its battle against the greenhouse effect and global wamring? We are talking worldwide disaster, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age.This is the scene that faces those who see“The Day After Tomorrow”，a new Hollywood scifi(科幻)movie. It is in the second place in the US box office chart. Some say that the director, Roland Emmerich, has an uncontrollable desire to destroy the world, especially New York. In 1996, he made“Independence Day”， in which aliens destroy earth. Two years later, he brought“Godzilla”to the screen. This saw a giant Japanese monster appear in New York and almost tear the city to pieces.“The Day After Tomorrow” shows disaster and destruction on a global scaleall thanks to the weather.In the movie, Jack Hall, a weather scientist, is the first man to realize that a new ice age is coming. In one of several natural disasters, his son Sam becomes trapped in New Yorks Public Library when a tidal wave strikes the city. He is forced to fight rapidly dropping temperatures. And a pack of hunger wolves escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Jack must think of ways to save his son, himself and the whole world. He must follow a hard path north, as everyone else races south to live in warmer climes.This film also brings a direct attack on the refusal of the current US government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is hoped that“The Day After Tomorrow”may encourage a change in the governments attitude towards environmental protection.44This text is meant to_.Aintroduce a famous director, Roland EmmeriehBintroduce koland Emmerich and his filmsCintroduce the film“The Day After Tomorrow”Dwarn people of the greenhouse effect45The three films mentioned in the text share the same features except that_.Athey are all set with the background New YorkBa terrible disaster happens to New York in three of themCthey are all scifi(科幻)moviesDthey all take the second place in the US box office chart46Whats the main idea of the last paragraph but one?AThe content of“The Day After Tomorrow”BHow Roland Emmerich designed the film.CHow terrible the weather is.DHow people fight agaist nature.47What does the writer think of the US governments work on environmental protection?AIt has been good so far.BIt is far from satisfaction.CIt is optimistic.DIt is satisfactory.DThe idea of light pollution has developed with the increase of lights in cities. In many areas, this light makes it difficult or impossible to observe stars and planets in the night sky.There are a number of reasons why light pollution is important. One has become clear at the Mount Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles, California. Today, light from Los Angeles makes the night sky above Mount Wilson very bright. It is no longer an important reasearch center because of light pollution.Light pollution threatens to reduce the scientific value of research telescoples in other important observatories. They include Lick Observatory near San Jose, California and Yerkes Observatory near Chicago, Illionis.Light pollution is the result of wasted energy. Bright light that shines into the sky is not being used to provide light where it is needed on Earth. Poorly designed lighting causes a great deal of light pollution. Lights that are brighter than necessary also cause light pollution.Most people in America are surprised to find out that they are able to see our own galaxy(星系)，the Milky Way, with their own eyes. But about threefourths of Americans cannot see the Miky Way because of manmade light.Objects in the night sky are resources that provide everyone with wonder. But light pollution threatens to prevent those wonderful sights from being seen.48Light pollution usually occurs_.Ain cities Bin the countryCin wild areas Din developing countries49Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AMount Wilson Observatory is the most important one in America.BLight pollution affects observatories only.CIn the dark night people can observe the sky clearly.DAstronomers can observe the stars clearly by the lights of the cities.50The victims affected by the light pollution are_.Achildren BgrownupsCstudents Dobservatories51The Milky Way is_.Aa road where milk is sold alongBa group of stars in the skyCa way with milk covering itDa way you can get free service of milk byESocial change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different belief. In addition, there is usually a greater wordly interest and greater_tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote(促进)social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed(无可争辨的)Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the nonmaterial, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposite; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; a
