She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it.“Spring is coming,” he said to Mary. “I can smell it in the air. Soon there will be spring flowers.”At this moment, the robin flew toward them and landed at Mary's feet.“He remembers me,” she said.“He knows everything that happens here,” Ben said. “Only he knows what's happening in the garden that has no door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years.”Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary bent down and began talking to the robin. She felt happier than she had ever felt.The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw something that looked like metal. She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key.“It's been in the ground for many years,” she thought. “I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door.”Mary skipped around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin.“He showed me where to find the key,” she thought. “Can you show me where the door is?” The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened.

You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by?It’s so easy to forget things you have. If we don’t use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that's not just the things in your home-technology grows so quickly, new toys come out all the time, new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind.We’ve learned to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It's certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm. People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop (旧货店). Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff ! Or maybe now is a good day to clean up? Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old clothes into new ones with just a little change.Today could be a good day to visit your older families. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.Most of all, remember that today's new stuff will be old stuff one day.( ) 48. What is Old Stuff Day?A. A day to throw away old things. B. A day to follow new technology.C. A day to get together with families. D. A day to enjoy and reuse old things.( ) 49. From Paragraph 3, we know that_______.A. age brings people new things B .people love buying new thingsC. people always clean up old stuff D. old stuff is still valuable and useful( ) 50.Which of the following is a right way to deal with old stuff?A. Breaking them into pieces. B. Sending them to charity shops.C. Forgetting them in some places. D. Turning them into waste things.( ) 51. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to make people _______.A. realize value of old stuff B. explore new technologyC. produce more old things D. remember family history D Did you know that some students don’t do their reading assignments (作业), not even short texts? There are many reasons for this. Students may be bored or not willing to give special attention. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here's why.Reading makes your mind active. It is like the exercise for your brain. When people get old, they become weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people's brains (头脑) when they get older. Brain power and speed decline(衰退) with age. Reading can prevent these declines. You can get help from reading in the near future too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way is to practise. Read everything that you can at school, whether you find it interesting or not. Reading adds to your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express(表达) yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more wisely.Do not just consider a text unimportant because you don't know about it. Each time you read, you are provided with new ideas. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader way of thinking. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.Reading is good for your feeling. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read. So the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Then move on to the next one.( ) 52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Reading is exciting and relaxing.B. Exercise keeps your body in shape.C. Reading prevents your mind declining.D. Age influences the body in many ways.( ) 53. Why does the writer think that you should read boring books?A. You will make your teacher very happy.B. You will learn new words through reading.C. You will get better grades in the reading tests.D. You will finally love them if you read them through.( ) 54. What doesn't the writer write about in the text?A. Reading helps you calm down.B. Reading teaches you about cultures.C. Reading can lower your stress levels.D. Reading helps you prepare for your job.( ) 55. Which is the writer's main purpose in writing this text?A. He is teaching students how to become better readers.B. He is telling readers fun facts about the mind and body.C. He is trying to advise students to do their reading work.D. He is explaining why students don't do their reading work.( ) 56. What is the best title for this text?A. Reading: The Key to a Successful FutureB. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many WaysC. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary While Having FunD. Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题部分 共46分）五、词汇（本题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）A．根据句意、释义或中文提示,写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。57.
