B Last month, Yang Xuelan, 18, was preparing for the college entrance examination, just like every Senior 3 student. However, a terrible earthquake hit her hometown, Ya’an, Sichuan on April 20. Yang ran to the playground. She was safe. But all her study materials were buried (被埋) in the classroom. A university in Chengdu lent a helping hand. Now Yang and her classmates are studying there. The earthquake killed at least 196 and injured more than 12,000. Soldiers and experts arrived at the quake zone (震區) immediately. They helped rescue people and rebuild homes. Tens of thousands of people have donated money and materials to help. There is litt le we can do to stop natural disasters such as earthquakes from happening. But we can try to make ourselves better prepared for these disasters. Japan is considered to be one of the best countries at dealing with earthquakes. From a young age, the Japanese are taught how to keep safe in earthquakes. Schools in Japan often take earthquake drills (演練). Almost every Japanese family has a survival kit (救生包), which has a flashlight, a radio, water and enough food for several days. This helps people to stay alive after an earthquake. What can we do when an earthquake happens? Some methods can reduce the harm they cause. The American Red Cross introduced the “Drop, Cover & Hold on” method. *Drop down onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from falling. *Cover your head and neck under a strong table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, you can also stay along a wall, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands. *Hold on to your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around. 34. We can tell from the first two paragraphs that _________. A. an earthquake hit Yang’s hometown B. Yang hasn’t been to school after the quake C. the earthquake made Yang a college student D. Yang and her classmates were buried in the classroom 35. Why are Yang and her classmates studying at a university in Chengdu at present? A. Because they have got a chance to go to college. B. Because they got help from soldiers and experts. C. Because they don’t want to study in their school any more. D. Because their school buildings were destroyed by the earthquake. 36. What did soldiers and experts mainly do in the quake zone? A. They built classrooms for students. B. They donated a lot of money and materials. C. They helped save people and rebuild their homes. D. They tried to prevent more earthquakes from happening. 37. Which of the following should you do when an earthquake happens? A. Stay there and don’t move. B. Stand straight on a table or desk. C. Drop down onto your hands and knees. D.

Sadly, Charlie’s father died when Charlie was five, and his mother was sent to mental (精神的) hospital. This left young Charl ie homeless and living on the street s. Things seemed bad for Charlie, but he had a bright, nice character. He was pleasant and easy to like. So he managed to get small parts in performances around London. Then, he moved to the USA in 1906, and his life took a major change for the better. He got a part in a show performing there. Seven years after his arrival in the USA, he got his first major part in a film. Charlie was a great success in the movie theaters. His silent, highly visual (視覺的) form of comedy was perfect for the silent films of the time. By 1915, he was making over $1,250 a week, which was a huge amount of money at that time. Charlie knew what he was good at, and he stuck to it. Even when sound could be used for movies in 1923, he continued to make silent pictures. Charlie knew that the silence was an essential part of what made his movies so funny. Charlie continued to make silent films well into the 1940s, when almost everyone else had changed to sound. Charlie, however, still remained one of the world’s greatest film stars. 38. When did Charlie get his first major part in a film? A. In 1889.B. In 1906.C. In 1913. D. In 1923. 39. The underlined word “essential” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____________. A. very boringB. very correctC. very difficultD. very important 40. From the passage we know that Charlie ___________. A. was easy to get along withB. stopped making movies in 1923 C. was born and brought up in AmericaD. didn’t produce silent films in America 41. Which could be the best title of the passage? A. A Great Man of Silent Movies.B. The Major Change for an Actor. C. The Beginning of Silent Movies.D. The Hard Life for A Movie Maker. D Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really moved across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot (戰車). 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 (效率高) than the gods themselves. This plane is called Solar Impulse (太陽驅動號). 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 (化學制品) 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. 42. What does “chariot” really refer to (指的是) in the last sentence of Paragraph 1? A. The Earth. B. The Greek god. C. The plane. D. Birds. 43. Which of the following is TRUE about Solar Impulse? A. It can only fly at night. B. It is powered by the sun. C. It has already flown across the US. D. It needs gas to work. 44. In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China? A. Overpopulation. B. Heavy traffic. C. Using solar energy. D. Burning coal or gas. 45. 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 very 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. 第Ⅱ卷（非 共60分） 第II卷共36小題，答案請按要求寫在答題紙上。 四、詞匯（本題共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分) A. 請根據句意或括號中的中文提示、英文釋義，寫出句中所缺單詞，使句子通順。 (每小題1分，共5分) 46.

In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them. Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children. In return, they only want their little boy or girl to give them g ood results in the examinations But why can their little babies still not understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation（安慰）, and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident（自信的）in the outside world because we know that we have a family. So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their child to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no boy will be regarded as a little boy. 76. Why do parents say that we never grow up? 77. What do parents expect all of us when they give us so much? 78. What does a true family mean? 79. What can we get from a true family? 80. How can parents let children know that they have a true family? (請自擬一句話回答) 八、書面 表達 (共20分) 每個人都有自己的夢想，努力堅持終能實現。請根據下面表格中所提供的信息用英文寫一篇短文。 Tom1．出身貧寒，付不起學費，但一直自學，考取了大學； 2．上大學時堅持打零工(part-time job) 自食其力。 3．堅持夢想 (follow one’s dream)，擁有了自己的農場。 You你的夢想……（內容自擬） 如何實現你的夢想1．勤奮學習； 2．……（內容自擬） 要求：1．所寫內容必須包括表格中的所有信息，可適當發揮； 2．文中不得出現你的真實姓名和校名； 3．詞數：90左右，開頭和結尾已給出，不計入總詞數。 Everyone has his/ her dream.

Tom is a good example. Tom was born in a poor family. His parents didn’t have enough money to pay for his study, so he couldn’t go to school. He was very sad, but nothing could stop him from studying. He kept on teaching himself at home. At last, he got high grades and entered his ideal college. While he was at college, he did part-time jobs for a living. Tom followed his dream all the time, so he became the owner of a large farm successfully. I have my own dream, too. I want to be a teacher to help the children in poor areas. From now on, I must work hard, correct my own shortcomings and improve myself. I will never give up my dream whenever facing difficulties. I’m sure my dream will come true.
