It was the strangest game of croquet in Alice’s life!The balls and the mallets were all animals and there was no hoop!The players all played at the same time, and they were always arguing and fighting for the balls. Nobody could agree about anything. Very soon, the Queen was wildly angry, and went around shouting “Cut off his head!” or “Cut off her head!” about once a minute.

Alice began to feel worried. “What will happen to me then? They’re cutting people’s heads off all the time here. I’m surprised there is anyone left alive!” At that time, she saw something very strange. She watched carefully, and after a minute or two she saw that it was the Cheshire Cat. She was glad to have somebody to talk to.

“How are you getting on?” said the Cat, when its mouth appeared.

Alice waited. “I can’t talk to something without ears,” she thought. Slowly the Cat’s eyes, then its ears, and then the rest of its head appeared.

Alice began to tell the Cat all about the game. “It’s very difficult to play,” she said. “Everybody argues all the time, and the hoops and the balls walk away.”

“How do you like the Queen?” said the Cat quietly.

“I don’t,” said Alice. “She’s very—” Suddenly she saw the Queen behind her, so she went on, “  ▲  . She’s the best player here.”

The Queen smiled and walked past.

①“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?” Lindsey says to Tori in a low voice. With her eyes shining, Tori talks proudly, “Sure, Sean told me two days ago.”

②Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be your friend Adam. I can tell you that what they are saying is not nice and not even true. Conversations like this are gossip. I have found two bad results of gossip: It can hurt people and it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction.

③An important but bad result of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip lets more people know what he or she wants to keep as a secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the more interesting gossip it makes. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but some lies can cause pain.

④If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer is about the other bad result of gossip: The satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the newest rumor can make people feel important because they know something but others don’t. In other words, gossip can make people pleased because it gives people a feeling that they are better than other people around.

⑤Different gossip may bring different results on different situations. The next time you want to tell others the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what problems your “interesting story” might cause.

（    ）47. The writer uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to           .

     A. start a topic                B. give reasons

     C. introduce students           D. tell a story

（    ）48. An important but bad result of gossip is that           .

     A. it makes listeners shameful   B. more people know about it

     C. it causes painful feelings       D. it makes gossip interesting

（    ）49. In the writer’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it           .

     A. gives them a feeling of pleasure

     B. helps them make more friends

     C. makes them better at telling stories

     D. helps them meet important people

（    ）50. Which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage?

五、词汇运用（本题有15小题，每小题1分，共15分）

A）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。每词仅用一次。

bad  hole  cap  with  book

51. In England, people like drinking tea            milk.

52. That was            traffic accident in China this year.

53. Why not            a hotel first before travelling?

54. A rabbit            is a place where the rabbit lives.

55. Boys think it is cool to wear their            back-to-front.

B）根据短文内容和所给中文提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式。（每空不多于2个单词）

The whole school was talking about the winter camp. And everyone was looking forward to it 56          （除……之外） me because I missed my parents. But it was the way we 57          （生长） up.

When we arrived at the camp, we found the village was so beautiful. What a 58          （惊喜）!It was a village in the 59          （北方） of China. It was famous for its snowy weather. Every year 60

Before the Spring Festival, people go shopping for something, such as food, clothes and so on. During the Spring Festival, people always wear new clothes, but they never wear white clothes.

I hope this will be helpful for you. I’m looking forward to your coming to my home town.

Yours,

Lin Wei
