We managed to persuade our parents to 33 us go in-line skating on our own. 34 it soon started to rain and we had to seek shelter on the empty deck (place) of a block of flats. It really dampened my 35 . Suddenly, we heard a 36 and saw a man dashing out of a lift. Just as he ran 37 us, we saw an old woman coming out of the same lift and crying, “Thief! Thief!” My cousin immediately went after the thief in his 38 . To be honest, I was extremely 39 at the beginning .Then I heard a honk. It was my uncle and aunt. I jumped into their car and told them about the robbery. We 40 off in the thief’s direction while my aunt stayed with the old woman. Soon, we 41 up with my cousin.

My uncle got out of the car and 45 the man down with his body. By this time, we could hear the siren of a police car approaching, 46 , my aunt had phoned the police and told them the 47 in which we were heading, so they were able to locate us . We handed the thief over to the police officers who took down our names and 48 . They informed us that we would be called up to give our 49 .

Dear Sir, I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route (路线): the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it. The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day? The regulations say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop? The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them. It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better? Yours Tired passenger 小题1:The writer has to take Bus No.49 because .A.it arrives on time | B.it is not always full | C.it travels faster | D.it has fewer seats on it | 小题2:How long does the writer usually have to wait for a bus?A.Ten minutes. | B.One hour. | C.Half an hour. | D.Nearly a day. | 小题3:The regulations say that each bus may carry passengers at most.小题4:From the passage we can see that .A.the bus service was poor | B.no buses except the No.49 bus passed Souk Road | C.no passengers took their buses | D.the writer was always the first to get on the bus |

Mrs Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, Mrs Amatuli asked me if she could 36 my sandwiches. She explained that I could use the money to buy a 37 lunch from the cafeteria(自助餐厅). I was 38. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was 39 expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to 40 again the next day. You can understand my 41 when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch. Kids always 42 about the cafeteria food but I was very 43 of them. When we 44 lunch that day, Mrs Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to 45 why she had bought my sandwiches. I really didn’t care why, 46 it gave me a few minutes of her precious 47 so I was very quiet as she explained. You 48 , she was a Catholic(天主教徒) and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate 49 on Fridays. Oh, I couldn’t 50 to get home and tell my Mom that from then on I wanted fish on Fridays. 51 my Mom understood why, she gladly fixed fish for me on Fridays. From then on, every Friday I could get in 52 with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about the cafeteria food—it 53 great to me! I realize now that Mrs Amatuli 54 have fixed herself a fish sandwich on Fridays. She bought my sandwiches because she saw a little girl who was pleased over the simple 55 of having a hot lunch.

If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause something each of us does daily to exist”. We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal.Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss. A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.There is nothing new under the sun. The creativity is remaking or recombining(***) the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results.To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another. These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.(257 words) 小题1:Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?A.To prepare for a meal. | B.To arrange the furniture in a special way. | C.To buy some books from a bookstore. | D.To “write” a letter with the computer. | 小题2:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.A.a new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things | B.a new thing is only a tale | C.we can seldom create new things | D.we can hardly see really new things in the world | 小题3: What is the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?A.It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to put it into practice. | B.To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing. | C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor. | D.One may come up with a new thought, but may not put it into practice. | 小题4:The best title for this passage is__________.A.How to Develop One’s Creativity | B.What Is Creativity | C.The Importance of Creativity | D.Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing |

Back in 2007, I rented(租) a room in Johor Bahru, Malaysia while studying for my Masters programmed(硕士课程) in Singapore. I travelled daily by 36 across the Johor- Singapore Causeway(穿越湿地的堤道) for my 37 , which were usually in the evening. It was quite 38 by the time I got back to the bus station in Johor Bahru, and I would still need to take another bus home. One night, I 39 the last bus and didn’t have enough money to take a taxi. With no other choice, I decided to 40 the two-kilometer journey home, which would have been fine 41 I were not so tired that day. It also didn’t 42 that the route was pretty rough(凹凸不平的)and dark. But I walked forward with 43 , with the promise of a night’s rest 44 me on. After walking for a few minutes, a car 45 in front of me. The driver, who looked 46 , asked where I was headed. “Not many people walk through here,” he said, and 47 me a ride. He really 48 me up as he went out of his way to get me to my apartment. What was more 49 , however, was the story behind it. During the ride, the driver told me that when he saw me walking, it made him think of his 50 who used to walk to work by the 51 road and though he often saw his uncle on the way, he had 52 offered a ride as he was headed in a different direction. 53 his uncle passed away because of an illness, and until today he still feels 54 for not being kinder to his uncle.

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard(果园),looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的). Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie(苹果馅饼), and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep. The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down. “Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too. He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know, Sophie,” he says, “ I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼), and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe(烹饪法)for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?” “ But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him. “ That’s true,” he says, “ but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home… towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie. 小题1: We learn from the passage that Sophie .A.likes to watch clouds in the attic | B.comes to the orchard after school | C.enjoys Grandma’s apple pie very much | D.picks many apples in the orchard | 小题2:Both Sophie and her grandfather used to .A.help Grandma make apple pies | B.spend summer afternoons in the orchard | C.enjoy fresh fruit in the farmhouse kitchen | D.walk alone among the apple trees | 小题3:The underlined part in the last paragraph shows .A.how much Sophie’s grandmother loved Sophie | B.how much Sophie’s grandfather likes apple pies | C.how much Sophie loves her grandfather’s orchard | D.how much Sophie’s grandfather misses Grandma | 小题4: Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?.A.My grandfather’s orchard | B.My grandmother’s apple pie | C.A morning in the attic | D.The last days of summer |
