“Henry! Knock it off! If you do that one more time, I’m going to throw you out of this boat,” warned Cameron angrily.

 “Yeah, right,” said Henry and half-heartedly rowed the boat up the river. Henry and Cameron were chosen to be partners, but they certainly weren’t friends. Cameron looked down on Henry and spent his time at summer camp keeping away from him. Henry never followed the rules, and that drove Cameron crazy.

Cameron hated the fact that the boat ride was at least 5 miles long. Just then Cameron felt some small drops of water again on his neck.

“Henry!” shouted Cameron loudly. “I said to leave me alone.”

“I’m not doing anything!” replied Henry coolly. “If you look up, you will see that Mother Nature is touching you with water.”

Sure enough, when Cameron looked up, he could see light rain coming down. Things got quiet in the boat after that. Before long, the small drops turned into large ones, and thunder and lightning began racing across the sky. Cameron didn’t know what to do. All he remembered was hearing stories about never to be on the water during a lightning storm.

There was nothing in sight. Where could they get shelter? At that moment, Henry took over. He guided Cameron to control the boat towards some small wooden houses up ahead. By the time they reached the houses, they were all wet. Lightning continued to flash and they took shelter in the house.

23. According to the story, Cameron and Henry ________.

A. both enjoyed the boat ride   B. worked together to solve a problem

C. were friends with each other   D. knew each other for a long time

24. Why didn’t Cameron like Henry?

A. Because Henry rowed the boat half-heartedly.

B. Because Henry threw water at Cameron.

C. Because Henry always broke the rules. D. Because Henry wasn’t a good helper.

25. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “get shelter” in the last paragraph?

A. get help      B. get protection  

C. get freedom    D. get everything ready

26. According to the passage, which is the right order?

a. Cameron and Henry were safe in a house. 

b. Cameron and Henry rowed the boat carelessly.

c. A light rain became lightning storm.  d. Cameron and Henry became partners.

A. c-b-d-a      B. b-d-c-a            C. b-d-a-c      D. d-b-c-a

D

You either have it, or you don’t — a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One opinion is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Scientists from Liverpool University are carrying out a research that supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.

 “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if parents don’t allow their children out alone or always take them everywhere by car, children never develop the skills.

Jim Martland also advised that young people should train some skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you’re facing.

If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the way as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same way.

Simplify(简化) the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, small rivers, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tall buildings or hills which can help you to find out where you are.

27. Scientists believe that __________.

A. people will never lose their sense of direction

B. some babies are born with a sense of direction

C. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older

D. everyone owned a sense of direction from birth

28. According to the research mentioned in the passage, seven-year-old children __________.

A. never have a sense of direction without maps

B. have a sense of direction and can find their way around

C. should never go out alone if they don’t have a sense of direction

D. can develop a good sense of direction if they always go around only by car

29. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should __________.

A. tie it to a tree so as to stop it from being stolen

B. remember something easily known on the way

C. draw a map of the way to help remember where it is

D. stay away from taking the same way when you come back to get it

30. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is __________.

  A. ask policemen for direction

  B. count the number of landmarks that you see

  C. use walls, small rivers, and streets to guide yourself

  D. remember your way by looking out for steps and stairs

三、任务型阅读 (本题有5小题，每小题1分，共计5分)

下面文章中有五处（第31—35题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合意思的标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Your notebook might be an important tool for school, work, or just writing down your daily thoughts, but it’s only useful if you can easily find your notes. Of course, your notebook can only be truly organized if you write (or rewrite) organized notes! Read the following tips and try to be a good note-taker.

  31 

A notebook that’s falling apart is more difficult to keep organized, especially if the pages are torn(撕破) or falling out. Look for a notebook with a strong cover, a good binding, and thicker pages, especially if you’ll be putting it in your pocket or throwing it in your bag. Not all well-made

notebooks are expensive, and not all expensive notebooks are well-made. Shop around and pick out a notebook that looks and feels both strong and functional(功能的).

  32 

The key to good note-taking is knowing what to write down and what not to write down. Look for signs, such as special expressions or uses of body language, to pick out the key points you should write down. For example: Listen closely to what comes after special expression like, “To sum up,” “There are … reasons why…,” “However,” “Once again,” and “Let me repeat.” Pay attention when the speaker raises their voice and/or speaks more slowly.

  33 

You can take notes much better by using abbreviations（缩写）, symbols, charts, drawings, and other shorthand skills. If you’re making up your own shorthand system, though, make sure you can understand it easily when reading over your notes! For example, if you use “EP” to mean “environmental protection” but can’t remember what it stands for when you’re studying, you’ll end up wasting more time than you would have by writing out the whole expression each time.

  34 

This way basically turns one notebook into two. With the notebook open, use the page to the left of the binding（包边） to write down notes, make quick drawings, add notes, and so on in a quite disorganized way. At least once a day, rewrite this information in a more organized way on the page to the right of the binding. Don’t think of rewriting your notes as a waste of time. In addition to getting the material better organized, rewriting helps you keep the information in mind more easily. This can be very helpful for test preparation.

  35   

Draw a circle in the middle of the note page and write down the key words or main topic of your notes — for example, the topic of the speech or lesson you’re listening to. Write down important supporting information in a little smaller circles around the central circle, then connect the circles with thicker lines. Repeat the process with even smaller circles and thinner connecting lines. You may find it useful to do mind-mapping on one page of your open notebook, then re-write the notes afterward in a basic outline style on the other page.

One possible version:

Recently,__the__School__English__Newspaper__did__a__survey__about__whether__you__like__to__have__computer­aided_tests_or_not._Here_are_the_results.

85% of the students would like to have computer­aided tests because listening and speaking abilities are really important for language learners. Besides, students will be provided with more chances to practice listening and speaking rather than doing endless grammar exercises.

However, other students think differently. They are afraid of taking such tests because they may get nervous easily when talking to a machine. Moreover, their spoken English is so poor that they are likely to fail in the tests.

As for me, I like to have computer­aided tests because it's a good way to show my spoken English. Meanwhile, having such tests pushes me to improve my English. (108 words)
