I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend’s house. It was just after four o’clock. I got quickly into the lift (电梯) and pressed Button (按钮) 12.

The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, “Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”

Just then, I realized (意识到) the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said: “Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4p.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday March 13.”

26. What happened to the lift?

A. It had a fire accident. B. It stopped half way.

C. The writer turned it off. D. It moved fast up to the top floor.

27. Why did a bell ring from far away?

A. The lift was to start again. B. The repair worker rang the lift alarm.

C. The building was on fire. D. The writer pressed the fire alarm bell.

28. After reading the paper, the writer realized that he/she had ________?

A. escaped a fire accident B. made a mistake.

C. visited a dishonest friend. D. pressed a wrong button.

B

Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot（战车）. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.

So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient than the gods themselves.

This plane is called Solar Impulse（太阳驱动号）. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.

So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution.

Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.

29. What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

A The Earth. B. The Greek god. C. Solar Impulse. D. Birds.

30. What does the writer mean by “That’s a pretty long flight”?

A. Solar Impulse moves very slowly.

B. Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time.

C. It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.

D. Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.

31. The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A. a Greek myth B. a science fiction C. a story-book D. a science magazine

C

“I am sorry for what I did this morning, Beck. I won’t ever be like that again. Please let us be friends.”

The girl stopped and looked into his face. “Go away, Mr. Thomas Sawyer. I will never speak to you again.”

Then she started walking again. Tom was so surprised that he could think of nothing to say. And he was filled with anger. If she were a boy, he knew that he would fight her.

Becky was also full of anger. She was thinking of the pleasure of watching the teacher beat Tom for destroying his spelling book. She knew someone else, not Tom, did it.

She did not know that she would soon have trouble!

The teacher, Mr. Bobbins often took a mysterious book out of his desk and read it. He would never allow anybody to touch it. Out of curiosity, Becky managed to get it and found a beautiful colored picture of a human figure in it. Just then, Tom came into the room. Becky moved the book away tearing the picture page down the middle. She put the book back into the desk, and started crying.

After an hour, Mr. Bobbins unlocked his desk and took out his favorite book. Becky looked like a hunted and helpless rabbit. The next moment Mr. Bobbins faced the children. There was a long silence, then he shouted:

“Who tore this book?” Nobody answered. The teacher searched their faces.

“Benjamin, did you do it?” Benjamin shook his head, “Amy Lawrence?” Also a shake of the head.

Becky was the next. Tom looked at Becky and saw that she was almost crying because she was so scared. “Becky, look at my face. Did you tear this book?” Tom jumped to his feet and shouted, “I did!”

When he stepped forward for his punishment, he saw the surprise, the thanks and the love that came from Becky’s eyes. This was enough for one hundred beatings. That night, he fell asleep with Becky’s words in his ears, “You are so great.”

32. Tom became angry because ________.

A. Becky refused him when he said sorry

B. Becky would fight him

C. he did something wrong to Becky

D. he couldn't think of anything to say

33. What’s the correct order of the story?

①Becky would like to see Tom punished for what he didn’t really did.

②Becky refused Tom’s saying sorry.

③Mr. Bobbins found his book torn.

④Tom said he tore the book and was punished by the teacher.

⑤Becky was so scared that she was almost crying.

A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①②⑤③④ C. ②①④③⑤ D. ②①③⑤④

34. The underlined word “hunted” may mean “________”.

A. excited B. afraid C. shy D. sad

35. What might happen next?

A. Tom would be a good student.

B Tom would tell Mr. Bobbins the truth.

C. Becky and Tom became friends again.

D. Becky wouldn’t tell Tom who tore the spelling book.

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡的相应位置上。注意每个空格只填1个单词。

Confucius was a great thinker and teacher in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. He was born in Qufu, capital of the state of Lu (part of Shandong). He acted as an official there. But he was perhaps a better thinker than he was an official and he ended up having to leave the state of Lu. In the next 13 years, he travelled around the other states, spreading his ideas. And he tried to teach people that peace was very important for a healthy society. However, it was not until the rule of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty(156-87 BC) that his ideas were accepted by most people. In his last few years, he returned to Qufu, where he spent the rest of his life teaching. His teachings were recorded by his followers in a book called Lunyu.

Confucius’ teachings formed the base of Chinese thought. Confucius thought everyone should develop virtues（美德）and always do the right thing. Confucius' thought is considered to have been the necessity of Eastern thought.

To help people understand how to behave towards others, he taught five virtues accepted by all Chinese. They are ren (kindness, charity), yi (fairness), li (ceremony, tradition), zhi (knowledge), and xin (trust). Another virtue is xiao. Xiao is the duties a person has towards their parents. It means loving, respecting and looking after one’s parents in their old age. Xiao forms the base of a peaceful society. And “he” is the final goal according to his thought. It means peace between people in society.

Here’s one of Confucius’ famous sayings, “Do not do to others as you do not wish to be done to you.” Another saying of his is “In the company off two others, I can always find one worthy of being my teacher.”

It is clear that Confucius’ thought will continue to be a necessary part of Chinese culture. And it will continue to be of great use for the future of China.

Confucius: A great thinker and teacher
