A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign
Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to
log on to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in
the last hour.
Since last year, the trend (潮流) of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys
shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs
over five times per day.
"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become populartopics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."
It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study hard,
and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I
share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation,
which makes me feel better."
But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading
messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too
much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for
parents to understand their children.
"If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to
better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.
-Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.
-Never micro blog in class.
-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
-Be critical(批判性的). Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.
74. Students log on to their micro blogs to .
A) check the things B) write articles C) listen to music D) call their parents
75. The underlined part "out of the loop" in the passage probably means " ".
A) not popular B) not excited C) unhealthy D) unlucky
76. Andy Liang thinks students are out of the loop if they don't know .
A) the latest fills B) the famous pop song singers
C) the popular topics in class D) many flesh things on TV
77. Micro blog made Simon when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro biog.
A) feel sad B) let out stress C) add pressure D) make friends
78. We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can .
A) make kids crazy while logging on to it B) bring a lot of misleading messages
C) become a window to understand young kids D) lead to worse communication
79. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A) It's good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.

mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries (毒莓). She

Each Indian tribe (部落) had a different language. Many Indians
never learned any language e___86___ their own. Do you know how
Indians from different tribes talked to each? They had two ways to talk
without sound. One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.
Sign language is a way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met
strangers. In this way, they could find out w___87___ the stranger was a
friend or an enemy.
Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To
make signals, an Indian might use a pony (小马). He might use a blanket. Or he might
use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows (箭) .
To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian r___88___ his pony in a large circle.
Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there
was danger.
The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c___89___ of a blanket in
his hands. Then he began to swing (摇动) the blanket from side to side in front of him.
An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.
He could also send many signals with a mirror to w___90___ someone or to get the
attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors
could be used o___91___ when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for
signaling.
An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or
green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he r___92___ the blanketfrom the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in
code.
Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language. They could talk to
one another by using signals or sign language.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)
I lost my childhood to Harry Potter.
---Tom Felton
After nearly ten years, the Harry Potter bandwagon (热潮) is going
to end. And for the young stars who have spent half their lives filming the
movie, the pain of saying goodbye could not be greater. But there are
several things Tom Felton---also known as Harry's school nemesis (复仇者) Draco Malfoy
--- is looking forward to. And from the moment you see him, it is clear why.
"For the past ten years we haven't had much free time to do other things. I certainly haven't
had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little
danger like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit
under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.
For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been
plenty of downsides, too.
Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since
they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also
says that at the same time he had to grow up fast.
"One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made
up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your
childhood--- is ridiculous (可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think
you can put a price on them?"
"And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the
reality."
The youngest of four brothers brought up in a middle-class home in Epsom, Surrey, he
honestly says that no one in the family knew what to do with all the money he was making. His
mother invested some of it in property (不动产) but told him the rest was his to do with
what he wanted.
93. Who is Tom Felton known as in the film Harry Potter?
94. How long has Tom Felton spent filming Harry Potter?
95. What couldn't Tom do while he was an actor in a film?
96. Why did Tom think putting a price on his childhood was ridiculous?
97. Tom's mother invested all of his money in property, didn't she?
98. What have you learned from Tom's childhood experience?VII. Writing (作文)：(共20分)
