A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was16 . She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery ball. She could hear nothing but the waves and the17flying up in the sky.
The18relaxed her. After all she had been through, this is what she needed.
She wondered how her parents would19, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, 20herself to bungalow 163, where she spent every summer holiday. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been21in her house.
It was really getting dark now, the sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting22too. She imagined having her favorite23on: it kept her really warm.

She was26: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed27 . She couldn’t understand what was28on.
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a(n) 29written by her father, reading “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready, I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents30. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, sleeping. Her face looked so tired, 31she hadn’t slept for days. Jenny would have wanted to wake her up, but she didn’t32her tired mother. So Jenny just fell asleep33her. When Jennifer woke up something was different… she wasn’t in her mother’s room. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas.

第三節(jié)閱讀理解 (共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
A
The saying that children don’t like reading any more has been proved untrue. A new study finds that 75 percent of kids between five and 17 say that although they love technology, they still want to read books.
“The Kids Family Reading Report” also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed books rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an author’s website or use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.
The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids’ interest in reading starts to drop.
“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day,” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.
One in four kids between five and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say they don’t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like—a requirement that parents underestimate.
The study also finds that parents have a strong influence on kids’ reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-olds—exactly the same time that kids’ daily reading for fun starts to drop.
“Parent engagement in their child’s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great influence on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading,” adds Carter.
36. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. In modern society, most kids still like reading.
B. Most kids are more likely to read e-books for fun every day.
C. Parents have a strong influence on kids’ reading
D. Most kids like reading as well as technology.
37. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. the study is conducted to find how much time children spend reading every day
B. the older children grow, the little they spend reading every day
C. about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday
D. parent engagement in child’s reading can have a great influence on them
38. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Do kids still like reading?
B. Kids’ interest in reading drops.
C. New technology on kids’ reading.
D. Parents’ influence on kids’ reading.

When a handheld video game runs out of power, all you have to do is plug it in and charge it up. Within a few years, some of you might do the same thing with mom’s car.
Automobile companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets (插座), just like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and small video game players do. Called “plug-in hybrids (混合動力汽車),” these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers will rarely have to stop at gas stations.
The technology is more than just cool. In our automobile-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gasoline we use. That gas is made from crude oil, which has been kept rising in cost. Plus, driving around in these hybrids may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide, a type of greenhouse gas. These gases stay in the atmosphere, where they trap heat and cause global warming.
The first company-produced plug-in hybrids could hit the roads by 20l0. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.
Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-hybrid world, Li-ion batteries are getting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a relatively long time between charges. Li-ion batteries are standard in laptops, cell phones, heart devices and similar portable devices.
But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion battery to power about l2km of driving. What’s more, the batteries are extremely expensive.
“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn’t haul (拖拉) any people, and it would cost $l00,000.”
So researchers need to figure out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.
“The answers don’t exist yet,” Bohn says. “As a kid I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven’t been decided. That’s what engineering is about — making a guess, running tests and fine-tuning results.”
39. The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of______.
A. how to charge the handheld video game up
B. explaining a newly-developed battery
C. introducing a new car
D. telling us how to make the new battery cheaper
40. Which is true according to the passage?
A. Plug-in hybrids will do no harm to the environment.
B. Li-lion batteries in laptops can be used on plug-in hybrids.
C. Some companies can produce plug-in hybrids now.
D. Drivers of plug-in hybrids will spend less money on gasoline.
41. From the passage, we can learn______.
A. we can buy one of “plug-in hybrids” now
B. all people will buy one after 20l0
C. this kind of car can carry two persons
D. some problems about “plug-in hybrids” remain to be done

One day Marilla said, “Anne, your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday. She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”
“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”
So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.
For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.
“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.
“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.
“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”
“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.
“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”
“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.
That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.
“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.”
“It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.”
“When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”
In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.
“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”
Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.
Diana was the first to hear the news; she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.
“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.
“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretly very pleased.
For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne need new dresses to take to Charlottetown.

A. paragraph ③ and ④
B. paragraph ⑦ and ⑧
C. paragraph ① and ②
D. paragraph ⑨ and ⑩
49. What will be written in the following paragraph?
A. Anne’s summer holiday.

C. How will Miss Stacy help Anne study?
D. What will Anne do before attending college?

One possible version:
It is really exciting that our school will offer many optional courses, from which we can choose four. The courses can be listed as follows: sports, music, science, business, literature, drawing, cooking, clothing design, architecture, and film directing.
To my excitement, the courses include my favorites. I’m eager to learn clothing design, film directing, business, and music. As a girl, I have great passion for beautiful clothes, hoping to be a clothing designer. And the reason why I would like to choose film directing is that I think making a film is amazing. When it comes to business, I believe knowing something about business is a must for our future life. Above all, music is my best love. Music can bring me calmness and relaxation.
From my perspective, optional courses can build a bridge, leading us to touch the real world. Not only can we develop our interests, but also put the knowledge into practice. Only in this way can we gain wholesome development.
