    The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent camera team out one evening to film the sunset for him.
    The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”
    “No, Sir,” the men answered.
    The director was angry.  “Why not?”  he asked.
    “Well,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
    “But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
    But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards, Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera team and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
    The camera team went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, Sir,” they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased.
    They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”
    The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera team to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards away from the beach.

    The Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat (聊天) and go where we’ve never been before.
    But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way that you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
    For anything you’re going to send, ask yourself: “Would I say this in front of the person?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
    If someone in the chat room is impolite to you, your feeling is to fight back in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore (忽略) the person, or use your chat software (软件) to stop their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
    Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you the right to correct everyone else.
    If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those who you have offended (冒犯).
    It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and families. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
    小题1:. When you send short messages to a person, you must       .
    A．make sure that they don’t do harm to othersB．read them again and again
    C．say something good to hearD．repeat them later to the person’s face
    小题2:If you are hurt in the chat room by others, you should       .
    A．fight back in the same wayB．take them seriously
    C．pay no attention to themD．be angry at them
    小题3:If a newcomer who communicates on line makes any mistakes, you       .
    A．should point them out sharply
    B．shouldn’t give any advice unless required by them
    C．should say something about them
    D．should correct them at once
    小题4:This passage mainly tells us       .
    A．some rules of Internet communication
    B．ways of sending messages
    C．rules of the face – to – face communication
    D．ways of making friends on the Internet

    Most Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards（识字卡），fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened（唤起） when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was confused and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And that’s why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who awoke my interest, who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.

    A．the girl preferred playing to learning English
    B．the girl hates her father because he was strict
    C．the girl is very thankful to her father
    D．the father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The girl’s father is her first English teacher.
    B．The girl had been interested in English before going to school.
    C．The girl’s father was always ready to help her with her English.
    D．The girl could have learned English well by herself without her father.
    小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．How I learned English at school

    C．The relationship between my father and I
    D．I’ve made progress in English learning

    阅读理解。从ABCD中选出正确的答案。（每题2分，共40分）
    It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
    The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
    I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
    People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性） as a whole. And it has influenced（影响） us to be more mindful（注意的，留神的）of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
    小题1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
    A．They used it for work and daily life.
    B．It was their only possession.
    C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
    D．The man's job was bike racing.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase mean?
    A．go very far to see someone
    B．walk out on foot to greet someone
    C．help someone with one’s best
    D．enjoy the moment with someone
    小题3:We can infer from the text that ________.
    A．the couple worked 60 hours a week
    B．people were busy before Christmas
    C．the stranger brought over the bike
    D．life was hard for the young family
    小题4:How did people get to know the couple's problem?
    A．From a stranger.
    B．From a newspaper.
    C．From TV news.
    D．From radio broadcasts.
    小题5:What do the couple learn from their experience?
    A．Strangers are usually of little help.
    B．One should take care of their bike.
    C．News reports make people famous.
    D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.

    How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient’s body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.
    What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient’s body.
    Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body, X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.
    A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.
    Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually don’t cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X rays.
    CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.
    小题1:What is NOT true of a CAT scan?
    A．It is safer than regular X rays.
    B．It makes use of computer techniques.
    C．It can stop the action of an organ for a short time.
    D．It gives clear pictures of active, moving body parts.
    小题2:The underlined words “a foreign object”（Para 3）most probably refer to     .
    A．a badly injured part inside the body
    B．a new thing that is unknown to the doctor
    C．a strange organ that has grown in the body
    D．an object that gets inside the body by chance
    小题3:What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?
    A．It provides clear photos of moving organs.
    B．It can take 3-dimension（三维）pictures of inside organs.
    C．It won’t cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body.
    D．It helps to find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening it up.
    小题4:We can infer from this passage that     .
    A．patients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiation
    B．doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners
    C．CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines
    D．CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it
    小题5:The best title of this passage might be        .
    A．the Newest Medical Invention
    B．New X-ray Machine to Save Lives
    C．How to Avoid the Damage of X Rays
    D．Advantages and Disadvantages of CAT Scanners

      Imagine yourself on a boat looking out at the horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to imagine: he is living in it.
    On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to become the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand, through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne.
    Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3500kms north of Melbourne, where they built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors to its fullest.
    At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began to dream about sailing around the world.
    Jesse’s family played an important role. “I was made to believe I could do anything.” he says. Although, he says, there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive, “People that I looked up to, respected and trusted told me I couldn’t. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat couldn’t be ready by the time I had to leave.” However, through perseverance and belief in himself he was able to do what many told him was impossible.
    On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted.
    小题1: What’s the author’s purpose in encouraging the reader to imagine a sailing experience?
    A．To show how difficult it is to be a sailor.
    B．To show how wonderful Jesse’s sailing is.
    C．To describe what Jesse’s sailing is like.
    D．To describe what a sailor’s life is like.
    小题2: Jesse Martin was at the end of his voyage when he _______.
    A．sailed on the South Pacific.
    B．sailed on the Indian Ocean.
    C．sailed past Africa
    D．sailed past South America.
    小题3: Which of the following made Jesse decide to sail alone around the world?
    A．His childhood adventure experiences.
    B．His journeys to Europe.
    C．His first sailing trip with his family.
