A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (12分)
Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada. He liked his new school
and made friends there, but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to
argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day, Daniel's mum left. With his father
working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away.
And that's what he did.
Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag
with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran
until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through
deep snow, not even watching where he was going.
Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the
ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that
if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.
A tree shook ahead. From within the branches(树枝), a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel.
The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear Daniel
into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his
chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal
reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle (口鼻)
against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall
asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe.
They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices. The rescue
(援救) team had found them.
74. Daniel ran away from home because ______.
A) he had a big argument with his father B) he wanted to learn to be independent
C) he didn’t get enough care from his parents D) his parents were always arguing at home

A) Because it was getting dark. B) Because the rock was hidden by snow.
C) Because he was frightened by a puma. D) Because he was too sad to notice it.
77. Where was the puma when Daniel first saw it?
A) In the tree. B) On the top of a rock.
C) Behind the rock. D) Before a cave.
78. Why did the puma press its muzzle against Dan and rock his head gently from time to time?
A) To keep Daniel warm. B) To play with Daniel.C) To kill Daniel. D) To keep Daniel awake.
79. What is the best title for the story?
A) Puma in danger B) A caring puma
C) Rescue of a boy D) A homeless boy
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完
成短文):（12分）
My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a bakery for some bread. As we
were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of
his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one
arm and a basketball under 80 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw
the teen.
I thought he'd scared her and she'd frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed
up against the door and opened it as 81 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young
man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind "Thank you very much".
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 82 in holding open the door for the young
man. She didn't seem to be 83 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly
talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted
to be ready.
It 84 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about
the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. "He would’ve had a hard time to open the door." I
saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person
carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door. I’m always the one who is so
quick to judge. In the future, I hope to get down on her 85 and raise my sights.
80. A) other B) the other C) another D) one
81. A) far B) fast C) wide D) soon
82. A) speed B) progress C) manners D) success
83. A) troubled B) fooled C) prevented D) judged
84. A) pointed out B) turned out C) found out D) worked out
85. A) situation B) hands C) side D) level
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，
使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
First there were CDs, then we had MP3 music and now we have ringtones (铃声)! People use
their mobile phones to play music. You can listen to the radio on your mobile phone, download
music onto it and use it like a MP3 player. Some pop groups find that m 86 people listen to their
songs on their mobile phones than they do on CDs.
So many people have mobile phones that sometimes you don’t know when your phone rings.
Ringtones are often u 87 to tell you it’s your phone. Companies sell them to you and they are
downloaded on your phone.
At first, there were just different rings. They were like a normal telephone. Then people made
them sound like a piece of music. Now you can get all kinds of sounds. N 88 every pop song
can be played on your mobile phone. You can also get a 89 sounds – there are elephants, cats,
dogs, lions and lots of strange bird sounds, too.
You can make your o 90 music. You need special software to do it. There are also karaokeringtones. Your voice is recorded with some music and you hear it when someone calls.
Now you can have a different sound for every person you know. Your address book is used
to find out w 91 is calling. Then it plays a different song for each person. If your best friend
likes a special song, he can hear it, too!
You have to be c 92 with the song you choose, though. Some songs can cause trouble. If
your family call you, they don’t want to hear a noisy pop song with silly words! You should
choose something that sounds nice. Some sounds are very noisy and fast, which make people
angry. Ringtones are fun, but they should not make people angry at you!
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
In a comfortable room in East London, a group of teenagers and older women are looking at
brightly coloured paintings with chatting and laughing. They are taking part in a four-month art
project started by the charity, Magic Me, which was set up in 1989 to solve generational problems
and bring the local community closer by organizing creative projects.
Anisa Islam, a quiet 15-year-old student, loves taking part in the meetings, which she says have
given her a safe place to talk about difficult emotions (情感). Besides this, there is much-needed
useful guidance (指导) that only older women can give. She said, "I am closest to Winnie. She
gives me a lot of advice on exams, telling me not to worry about them too much. Before, I was
really shy and I couldn’t speak up, but now I join in and am confident."
Her head teacher, Vanessa Ogden, agrees that Magic Me, which has worked with the school on
eight such projects, has had a great effect on the girls taking part. "Every year, many students
improve their confidence and ability to think about their lives. They love meeting women with life
experiences, and begin to understand how they can change their own lives. They regard them as
role models," said Miss Ogden.
Davies, a charming older woman, says such projects are good for both older and younger
people. "I think there should be a Magic Me in every area. We were like strangers at first, but by
the end of the project we are like a family. We look forward to seeing the girls and they look
forward to seeing us. They make me feel young again."
93. When and where was Magic Me set up?
It was set up _________________________.
94. What does Magic Me do to bring the local community closer?
It _____________________________ to bring the local community closer.
95. Anisa used to be shy, didn’t she?
__________, ____________________________.
96. How can the older women help the girls in the charity?
By ______________________ and ________________________.
97. What does Vanessa Ogden think of Magic Me?
She thinks Magic Me _______________________________.
98. Why do you think the older women like Magic Me?

any money to charity,’ she said. “Wouldn’t you like to give back to your town in some way?”
The rich man said nothing at first and then said: “Did your survey also show that my mother is
dying after a long fight with illness, and has large medical bills to pay?”
The charity worker felt sorry and didn’t know what to say.
“Or that my brother is blind and cannot walk?” the rich man continued.
The charity worker began to apologize, but the rich man stopped her.
“Or that my sister’s husband died in a traffic accident,” he shouted in anger, “Leaving her no
money with three children?”

The “Walk to School Week” activity began in 1997 and has grown into a national and
international event. The idea of this activity was to reduce the number of cars on the road during
the rush hour of the day.
The tenth "Walk to School Week" took place in Northern Ireland in 2012. The theme, "Step
Forward in Time", was encouraging children to develop the habit of green travel.
"It would be great if more people should leave their cars at home and take their children to school
on foot. It saves money and makes the traffic better around school gates," said Andy Bready, one
of the organisers of the activity. He also hoped it would make travel to and from school safer and
more enjoyable.
In fact, one fifth of people around Northern Ireland use a car during the rush hour of the day to
pick up their children after school. But many of these children live very close to school. Walking
to school takes them less than ten minutes!
