It was a rainy morning two years ago. Shirley Huxham was cycling __18__(gentle)
downhill. As she waved to a friend, he r bike slid uncontrollably on the wet road,
throwing her to the ground. “I’d never even thought of buying a helmet,” she
says. For months she was partly paralysed (瘫痪) down her left side and still has
__19__ (healthy) problems today.
Some might think that Shirley was just unlucky. How __20__ (danger) can it be
to fall from a bicycle? In fact, each year on Britain’s roads more than 200 people
are killed and at least 4,000 seriously injured on bicycles. But these numbers don’
t tell the whole story: the majority of the __21__(die) and injured were not wearing
helmets.
A study of bicycle accidents in the US found that helmets could __22__(reduction)
the risk of serious head injury by 85 percent. Yet it is estimated that in Britain,
no more than five percent of bicycle __23__(ride) wear helmets. Why don’t more
cyclists wear __24__(they)?
People think that helmets look foolish, that they’re __25__(convenient), and
that accidents only happen to other people.
One of the wrong ideas bicyclists have is that lower speeds can put them at
__26__(little) risk than motorcyclists, who are legally obliged to wear helmets.
In fact, according to a British report, a higher percentage of bicyclists than
motorcyclists suffer head injuries. And their injuries can be just as severe.
Helmets, however, can make a big __27__(different). Shirley wasn’t just unlucky.
If she had worn a helmet, she wouldn’t have spent months in hospital. Why take

the context.
You get an e-mail from your friend. It says Bill Gates will send you cash if
you just click on a certain Web page. Y our friend swears this is official, and
that his friend says it __28__. Will you believe it?
Stories like that are known as urban legends(传说) . They are called this __29__
they are like old country folk tales, but told in a modern city context.
Why do people tell urban legends? Why do listeners believe them? __30__ is true
of many legends, there is usually a grain of truth in an urban legend that seems
to confirm it. That small seed of truth helps keep the story alive. __31__, many
urban legends are meant to serve as warnings to children and teens. This fact could
explain why a lot of urban legends are __32__ : Do not take candy from strangers,
because it might have poison in it.
Some urban legends, however, reflect what people want to believe. After the
disastrous Asian tsunami(海啸) of 2004, for example, one heart-warming tale spread
around the world. __33__ the story, elephants near a Thai resort sensed that the
huge waves were coming. They led people to high ground and went back into the

Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several
questionsorunfinishedstatements.Foreachofthemtherearefourchoicesmarked
A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given
in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Hetty Robinson learnt all about money when very young. As a child, she read
the financial pages of the newspaper to her rich father. Her father died when Hetty
was 30, and she inherited $1 million. When she herself died in 1916, she left almost
$100 million to her two children.
Hetty made her money on the New York stock exchange. She was a financial genius.
She made money so easily that people called her the Witch of Wall Street. But although
she was one of the richest women in the world, she counted every cent and spent
as little as possible. She didn’t own a house, because she didn’t want to pay
property taxes. So she and her children lived in cheap hotels.
She spent almost nothing on clothes, and always wore the same long black dress.
She washed it herself, but to save soap she only washed the bottom of the dress,
where it touched the ground. Other people had their own offices, but Hetty used
a desk in the bank where she kept her money, because it didn’t cost anything. She
sat in the bank and ate her sandwiches while she bought and sold stocks and shares.
If the bank complained, she just moved all her money to another bank.
Hetty’s family paid the price for her meanness. When she was 33 she married
a millionaire, Edward Green, and they had two children. But Green lost all his money,
so she left him. When her son, Ned, injured his knee, Hetty didn’t want to pay
for a doctor, so she took him to a free hospital for poor people. Unfortunately
the doctor knew Hetty was rich and he asked for money. Hetty refused and took the
boy away. His leg got worse and two years later doctors removed it.
But eventually Ned got his revenge. At the age of 81 Hetty had an argument with
a shop assistant about the price of a bottle of milk. She became so angry that she
had a heart attack and died. So Hetty’s meanness finally killed her. Ned inherited
half his mother’s fortune, and he spent it all on parties, holidays and expensive
jewellery.
38. What fact can be learned about Hetty Robinson from the passage ?
A. She came from a poor family.
C. She was nice to her son.
B. She worked for a bank.
D. She died from extreme
anger.
39. Hetty Robinson was called the Witch of Wall Street mainly because _____.
A. she was fond of reading financial pages of the newspaper
B . she made a huge fortune easily through stocks and shares
C . she liked wearing the same long black dress every day
D . she turned out to be the richest woman in New York
40. Which of the following best describes Hetty Robinson?
A. Talented but not generous .
C. Aggressive but not diligent.
B. Wealthy and kind.
D. Curious and lucky.
(B)
In 2008, a study was conducted in Hong Kong to find out why some people appeared
to be better at public speaking. Three hundred people who were employed in jobs
that require an advanced level of public speaking skills were interviewed. The
participants included politicians, professors and motivational speakers. The
results of the study showed that 77% of the participants reported having parents
that encouraged them to ask questions and state their opinions from a young age.
Eighty - five percent answered that their parents had repeatedly exposed them to
a variety of positive “public speaking” experiences at home. These experiences
included practicing speeches, performing dramas and reciting poems.
In another study to determine the causes of fear of public speaking, 70% of
the participants said they had not had any public speaking opportunities at home.
Eighteen percent of the participant s had been given such opportunities, but these
had resulted in a loss of confidence.
One of the participants recalled a painful experience from when he was eight
years old. His parents had arranged for him to present his school project about
earthquakes to his cousins. As an outgoing boy, he was eager to show off all his
hard work, until he forgot a sentence and started to stutter(结巴). His cousins
began to laugh at him, and instead of his family encouraging him to continue with
his presentation, his father told him to call it a day. The stress of this incident
and the feeling of being rejected carried over to school, where he started struggling
with his words and went red like a sunset every time he had to speak in front of
an audience.
From these studies, we can see that the way parents handle their child’s
communication efforts and a child’s future attitude towards public speaking can
be linked. Not all people are born afraid of public speaking, but rather they grow
to be afraid of it due to awful experiences or outside influences. Yet this does
not mean they have no control over their fear ----- because they do.
41. According to the study of 2008, _____ were important in making successful public
speakers.
A. caring professors
D. original opinions
B. high motivations
C. encouraging parents
42. In the 3rd paragraph, the expression “call it a day” most probably means _____.
A. stop
B. respond
C. try
D.
relax
43. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. How much exposure to public speaking is proper?
B. What kinds of jobs require public speaking skills?
C. Is public speaking important for children?
D. Are people born afraid of public speaking?
44. The paragraph following the last might be about _____ .
A. more experiences of unsuccessful public speaking
B. ways to gain self - confidence in public speaking
C. other reasons for failure in public speaking
D. features of successful public speaking
(C)
Here is one of the world’s largest indoor ski-slopes. It covers an area of
22,500m2, about the same size as three football fields, and the temperature is a
constant -1℃to -2℃. However, the strangest thing about this place is that it’
s in the middle of the desert! It’s called Ski Dubai and the outside temperature
s can rise to more than 40℃!
It sounds crazy, but it just shows how serious people are about having fun.
We spend huge sums on sports facilities. We pay our sports stars ridiculous amounts
of money. And we spend hour after hour playing games! I wonder if all the sports
- lovers and game - players in the world aren’t a little crazy. I know I am. I
was once driving past a football field where some kids were playing. I turned to
watch and crashed my car. I know it’s stupid but I can do nothing about it. As
someone said, “Football isn’t a matter of life and death. It’s much more important
than that!”
Of course, it isn’t that important really. No game is. But the problem is that
games are addictive (使人上瘾的). From the tennis court to the golf course, you’
ll find participants and spectators who can’t live without the drug of their choice.
It could be a good thing. After all, despite being addictive, it’s true that sports
and games help us to relax. Maybe if it wasn’t for sport, our societies would be
more violent. Perhaps sport is a substitute for war? It’s hard to think of a quieter,
more peaceful game than chess, and what’s the objective? Capturing your opponent’
s king, and surely, it’s better to have wars in athletics stadiums rather than
on battlefields.
What’s more, playing is natural. Kittens chase balls of wool and puppies pretend
to fight. Games help us perfect ours kills and prepare us for the serious contest
of survival.
But do all games help us relax and stay away from violence? What about computer
games? A recent article in NewScientistsuggest s that playing violent video games
(and most of them are extremely violent) makes people more aggressive and more likely
to commit violent crimes.
Are these games a rehearsal (彩排) for life or a substitute for life? Do we
play instead of facing up to our real problems? I don’t know. But what I do know
is that I need a break, something to help me relax. Skiing would be nice. I wonder
how much it costs to get to Dubai?
45. According to the author, the most surprising thing about Ski Dubai is its _____.
A. slopes
B. size
C. location
D. facilities
46. The expression “the drug of their choice” in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____.
A. the game they are keen on
C. the activity good for health
B. the medicine they take
D. the sport in place of war
47. Which of the following statements does the author most probably agree with?
A. Sports stars should be paid more to play well.
B. Sports are more important than life and death.
C. Chess is too peaceful to be considered a sport.
D. Games can make one relaxed as well as violent.
48. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage ?
A. The relationship between games and crimes .
B. Human natural craze for having fun with games.
C. Serious concerns about time that is spent on games.
D. Real problems facing game players in everyday life.
