IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
Danny lived for football. He played it, watched it, talked and dreamed about it. His favourite
football star was Keith Connolly–Lowgate’s captain and their star striker(前锋).
One day in January, after school, Danny hurried through his homework. He wanted to watch
TV. Keith Connolly was doing an interview on the local news programme.
Danny hoped that the television wouldn’t go fuzzy (模糊的) or lose the sound when Keith
Connolly was talking. It was an old set, and it did things like that.
It wasn’t clear enough, but at last Keith Connolly’s smiling face appeared on the screen.
‘What I really like about playing for Lowgate,’ he said, ‘is the fans. They’re the best. They
always support us. It’s fantastic running on to the playground to all that cheering and chanting.’
Danny wished he could be in that crowd at the Lowgate ground, but the price of a single
ticket was way above anything he could afford. There was no chance of the whole family going, oreven just Danny and his little brother.
‘You won again on Saturday,’ said the reporter. ‘Did the team go out to celebrate?’
‘We went for a meal together,’ said Keith Connolly, ‘but I have to be careful about what I eat,
because I want to stay fit. I love doughnuts (甜甜圈) very much…’
Then the sound went fuzzy, and Danny jumped up and thumped the top of the set to make it
come on again. He hadn’t missed much. But he had missed something important.
Keith Connolly had been saying ‘… but I’m not allowed to eat doughnuts.’
Danny hadn’t heard that. All he heard was that Keith Connolly loved doughnuts. And at the end
of Danny’s street was a bakery. It sold the biggest and the best doughnuts!
When Danny went to bed, he lay wide-awake, making a plan.
69. Keith Connolly was ______.
A) Danny’s brother B) one of Danny’s fans
C) a basketball player D) the captain of Lowgate
70. One day, Danny did his homework hurriedly so as to ______.
A) play with Keith Connolly B) watch a TV programme
C) interview Keith Connolly D) read a local newspaper
71. The writer described Danny’s TV to tell us ______.
A) Danny needed to buy a new TV set B) Danny’s family was poor
C) Danny liked football very much D) Danny’s wish came true
72. The word “thumped” in paragraph 9 means ______.
A) covered B) reached C) beat D) managed
73. The underlined word “that” refers to “______”.
A) we went for a meal together B) I have to be careful about what I eat
C) I love doughnuts very much D) I’m not allowed to eat doughnuts
74. Danny most probably planned to ______ when he lay wide-awake on the bed.
A) get less homework to do every day B) find a way of giving doughnuts to Keith
C) celebrate the victory in the bakery D) tell Keith not to eat too many doughnuts
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）
Can you imagine getting up in the morning without a coffee for breakfast? What is a good
meal without a coffee at the end of it? Coffee is probably the world’s favourite drink, but most of
us never give it a second 75 . How much do you know about coffee?
The Turks gave us the word coffee and the Italians gave us espresso and cappuccino, but
Finland is the biggest coffee-drinking country in the world. Coffee originally came from Ethiopia,
but Brazil and Colombia are now the most important countries that 76 coffee.
There are more than 100 different varieties of coffee beans and Jamaican Blue Mountain is said
to have the best 77 . However, the most expensive coffee in the world (at $660 / kilo) is Kopi
Luwak. An Indonesian cat called Paradoxurus is 78 fond of coffee beans and Kopi Luwak is
made from its droppings!
We all know coffee addicts –people who can do nothing in the morning until their second or
third cup of coffee. http://www.2abc8.com/ The most 79 coffee addicts in the world were
probably the French writers Balzac (40 cups a day) and Voltaire (more than 50 cups a day).
Beethoven was also a coffee lover – he always 80 60 beans for each cup of coffee that he made.
The most fashionable coffee bars in the US serve ‘coffee art’. Artists in California drawleaves, hearts and other designs in your coffee.
75. A) hand B) thought C) look D) chance

80. A) planted B) collected C) stored D) counted
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）
Wild animals usually make their own homes if they need one, but pets often need some sort
of house to live in. An outdoor kennel is a good home for a large dog and pet birds are best kept in
a cage large e 81 for them to move around freely. Small pets such as mice, rats and hamsters(仓
鼠) can be kept in small cages but larger animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs should have a b
82 cage.
Many people have fish as pets. If they are coldwater fish, they can live in an aquarium or a
fish pond in the garden. Tropical(热带的) fish need a lot more looking after and will d 83
unless they are in a warm tank with an air pump(泵). Stick insects can be kept in a jar with a fine
net tied over the top. Ants can also be kept in a g 84 container(容器) where you can see them
working in their tunnels.
Most pets also like something to do. It would be a very b 85 life for a budgerigar (虎皮鹦
鹉) in its cage without a ladder and a bell or a mirror. Hamsters and mice enjoy e 86 on a
treadwheel (踏车). Another thing that is quite necessary in a cage or hutch is to provide an amount
of f 87 food and water that is changed daily. Fish, too, need more than just a home. A fish tank
should have a floor of sand and a few stones. It is also a good idea to have some plants growing in
the water, to help the fish breathe properly.
D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
For centuries, the Inca city of Machu Picchu was lost in the jungle. Then, in 1911, the
American explorer, Hiram Bingham, discovered the ruins(废墟) of it. It is one of the most
extraordinary places in the world.
Today it is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Many people choose
to follow the Inca Trail (印加古道), a centuries-old path of 43 kilometres that takes three or four
days on foot. Others take the train and then a bus for the last part of the journey.
Now a hotel company is going to build a cable car to the top of Machu Picchu. ‘The cable car
is good news for Machu Picchu,’ says a company spokesman. ‘There are going to be a lot more
tourists and that means more jobs for the local people. Looking after the ruins is expensive. With
the extra money, we can spend more on looking after them.’
However, the plan is not popular in Peru (秘鲁). Ana Redondo, a tour guide, explains the problem.
‘There are already more than 300,000 tourists that go to Machu Picchu every year. The Inca
Trail is crowded. Old tea bags and water bottles can be found here and there. How dirty the Inca
Trail is now! The new cable car is going to bring 400 tourists every hour! The company is also
going to build a large hotel and tourist centre with souvenir shops, fast food restaurants and so on.
It is the end of Machu Picchu.’
Ana is an activist who belongs to an organization named Save Machu Picchu. She says thatthe organization is going to stop the company’s plans. ‘Tomorrow we are meeting government
officers. Next week two scientists from UNESCO will come here. We will discuss the plans. Next
month we are organizinghttp://www.2abc8.com/ an international meeting. We are not going to
stop until the cable car idea is dead.’
88. What did Hiram Bingham discover in 1911?
_____________________________________________________________________.
89. How long is the Inca Trail, a centuries-old path?

90. What does the hotel company plan to do?

It was late and Charlie was about to climb into bed when his wife told him that there was a
light on in their garden hut. Charlie started to go outside to turn off the light but noticed some
people in the hut. They were busy stealing the things in it.He ran back inside right away and called the police. He explained his problem to a
policewoman. The policewoman told Charlie that all police cars were busy outside, and that he
should just lock his door and a policeman would be at his house when one was free.
Charlie answered “All right,” hung up, waited 30 seconds, and then called the police again.
“Hello, I just called a short while ago because there were people stealing things from my hut.
I want to let you know that they’re not a problem any more because I’ve just killed every one of
them.”
Charlie then hung up the phone. In five short minutes, three police cars and an ambulance

One of the policemen said to Charlie, “I thought you said that you killed every one of them!”

The UK is a popular place to visit for all sorts of reasons. Many people come to the UK
because they want to see castles, famous cities and sport events.
The UK is not a place where it gets really hot, really cold or really wet very often, so it is a
popular place to visit at any time of year. Springtime, when the trees are green and the birds are
making nests, is a time of growth and excitement. Autumn, when the leaves turn brown and fall
from the trees, is another pretty season. Wintertime is cold, but often beautiful when the snow
falls. Christmas in the UK is lovely too as lots of people celebrate and look forward to the New
Year.
But more visitors from around the world visit Britain in the summertime than in any other
season. In the summer the weather is usually sunny, and even when it rains, it is not too cold. The
summer months of July and August are the hottest in Britain, and there are more hours of daylights
too. The main popular thing to do is to go to the beach. When the weather is warm, there are a lot
of tourists there. You can get more unforgettable experience if you visit the UK in summer.
