“Is this a high school or a small town?” I thought to myself scanning (浏览) my campus map. It was my first
day of classes at my senior high school. I felt like an ant at that huge school.
I found my schedule and placed it next to the map. I had a biology class at 9:30 am in the BISIC building. I
looked at my watch. It was 9:05 am, which gave me plenty of time, or so I thought. After walking around for 15
minutes, unable to find my way, I began to get very anxious. Just then a middle-aged woman in a bright purple
dress approached (走近) me and asked me if I needed help. “Yes,” I said. “I am looking for the BISIC building.” A
smile appeared on the lady’s face. “Oh, don’t worry, that is nearby!” She offered to direct me to my class, and I
made it to my first class on time.
The strange faces around me brought a sense of loneliness. I didn’t know one person in that great big class.
When my last class came to a close, the nervousness of the day finally disappeared.
It was finally time to go home. Along my walk, I recollected my classes and activities of the day and the new
friends I had made. The comfort of arriving home was the best feeling that day. The day had so many things. All in
all, I felt very thankful to have the chance to study in such a great high school.

On the day the tornado hit, there was no sign that the fierce weather was on its way —the sky was blue and the
sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on
the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel
from the national television to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.
Soon the tornado was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard. The house shook, and the power
went out. And the wind began to roar (咆哮) through the house, most likely through windows and the door to our
garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and flew into the darkness outside. We
had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom down there, the relative safety of the first floor.
I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there was no floor as the wind lifted me
off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew open. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree
branch (树枝) flew over our heads, missing us by inches.
By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute, Jimmy pushed me down
to the storeroom floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy's arm as the tornado
blew the door open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right
out of the house.
All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on
his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn't believe it was over. Our neighbor said the storm lasted four
minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Luckily, none of us
were seriously injured.
28. Where did the couple learn about the coming fierce weather?
A. From the dark sky.
B. From the radio station.
C. From the news report on TV.
D. From the text sent by their neighbors.
29 What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about the couple?
A. They had no place to hide.
B. They tried to get out of the house.
C. Their garage was blown into pieces.
D. Their house was badly destroyed.
30. What do we know about Jimmy when the author reached the storeroom?
A. He was in great danger.
B. He flew out of the house.
C. He was seriously injured.
D. He got inside the storeroom.
31 What is the best title of this text?
A. The tornado hitting Florida
B. A couple stopping a disaster
C. The wind roaring through the house
D. A couple keeping alive from a disaster
D
China’s “Little People’s Kingdom” is a theme park, where little people dance and sing in fairytale costumes,
drawing both curious groups and criticism. The theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108
dwarfs from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to dance and sing for tourists. And
all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.
The guests can watch shows like comedies, group dances and acrobatics (杂技). The show’s centrepiece, a
funny performance of Swan Lake, sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be little
swans. “The first time I performed it (Swan Lake) I felt a bit embarrassed. I had never worn a skirt like that before.
But later, once I got used to it, I found I could do it very well,” said Chen Ruan, from Hunan Province who joined
the park when it opened.
For many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As unlikely as it seems for men
and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake, they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that
look like caves while living with people with similar experiences. In addition, the life facilities in the park are made
according to their special needs. Besides, performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a month, around twice the salary
of a high school graduate.
The founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and investing, but said he had
always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community. People, like human right activists (积极分子)
for the disabled, think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people. The only
requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter than 51 inches and be able to take
care of themselves in daily life. The youngest employee is 18, and the oldest is 48.
32. According to Chen Ming, he founded the park to ________.
A. do good for society
B. invest money and increase his fortune
C. create a ballet show of Swan Lake
D. let people know more about the dwarfs
33. After living in the “Little People’s Kingdom” for some time, many employees feel ________.
A. worried
B. boring
C. upset
D. satisfied
34. Which qualifications should the employees in the theme park meet?
a.Having the ability to look after themselves.
b.No taller than 51 inches.
c.Aged between 18 and 48.
d.Being a high school graduate.
A. a and b
B. a and c
C. b and d
D. c and d
35. What can be learned from the text?
A. The employees perform for tourists in nature.
B. The employees perform twice a day.
C. The 108 employees come from all over the world.
D. The park lies in the city of Kunming.

Once in a school, about 50 students from different junior high schools formed a new high school class.
The class was made up of active and outstanding young students but the problem was that they wouldn’t share
information to solve learning problems with each other and it was a headache. For instance, each of them wanted to
achieve good results, but they did not want to let others know their learning progress and their own advantages, nor
did they want to expose their weaknesses.
So one day, Michelle, headmaster of the class, invited them to an event. In this event, there were several fun
activities organized for everyone.
For one of the activities, Michelle brought the class into a classroom which had 50 desks and envelopes of the
same quantity with names on them. The students found their own envelopes and made them in the corresponding
positions. Everyone was excited and was wondering what kind of activity it would be.
Michelle took a few minutes to say, “Each of you picks up the envelope in front of you and solves the problems in
it by yourself. Let me divide the class into several groups, and the list is shown on the blackboard. The group that
solves all the problems first wins. ”
Everyone immediately picked up a pen and began to work on the problem. All of them were absorbed because
they were competitive. Solving difficult problems is an attractive thing for those who love learning. However, even
after 20 minutes only a few scattered (分散的) students were able to finish the problems. They didn’t give up and
were thinking long and hard to solve the problems. Michelle came and told them that this round was over and everyone
should go for next round of activity.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
For next round, Michelle told them to change their way of solving difficult problems.
