Not 17 the way, I thought I’d just head east.A bus stopped, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four 18 lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long 19 .She dropped me off at the end of her way and told me which bus to 20 . After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a 21 stopped. There was no lighted number above its windshield (挡风玻璃). It was out of service. 22 the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.“I just can’t 23 you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place.

Fog (雾) can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop you car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop you car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times the distance on snow, and even more on ice Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.31.

This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future of London Zoo－and maybe for all of Britain’s city zoos.London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London. Its director-general (总经理), Michael Dixon, said, “We are sorry that the elephants are leaving; there have beenelephants at London Zoo since 1831.”London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals. “This is the only way the young people can see animals without traveling to other countries,” she said.Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry. “If we send them back to the wild they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo. It can survive (继续生存) at the moment, but it won’t survive in the future.”However, Mary Rosevear, directory of the Federation (联合会) of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.36. London Zoo has kept elephants .A.since last SundayB.for about one hundred yearsC.for nearly two hundred yearsD.ever since it was built37. Zoos are important because .A.they can make a lot of moneyB.there are many animals living in themC.there are some big animals thereD.they can keep animals and help children learn about them38.

London Zoo might face a big problem because .A.the elephants in the zoo will be killedB.the elephant may also kill other peopleC.it may have fewer visitors in the future.D.no one would like to be an elephant keeper any more40. Which of the following is NOT true?A.The writer hopes that big animals except elephants should be kept in London Zoo.B.London Zoo and the public (公众) have different ideas about where to keep the big animals.C.Some animals in the park are still dangerous to visitors.D.Some people think that the big animals will die if they are sent to the wild animal park.CHappiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses many often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correctit. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.41. Those who have big houses may often feel .A. happyB. lonelyC. freeD. excited42. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will .A. laugh at youB. play jokes on youC. quarrel with youD. help you up43. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?A. Oh, so do I.B. Congratulations!C. Good luck!D. It’s just so-so.44. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?A.People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.B.You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C.You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D.Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.45. Which of the following is this passage about?A. Bad luck.B. Good luck.C. Happiness.D. Life.DThe earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets, fellow members of the sun’s family.Two of them, Mercury (水星) and Venus, are nearer while the other six, namely Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, also in their given order from the sun, are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun, People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in definite paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. The pull between two bodies is proportional (成比例的) to the product of their masses. Because the sun is so large the pull between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for this pull, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to its surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.Now remember that large bodies exert a greater pull than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.46. There are that travel around the sun in the sun’s family.A. nine planetsB. eight planetsC. one star and ten planetsD. the earth and the sun47. Which of the following statements is true?A. The earth is farther from the sun than any other planet in the sun’s family.B.T he planets travel in the sky in their own ways disorderly instead of definite paths.C.T he earth is the nearest to the sun among the planets.D.O f all the planets, the earth makes the third longest trip around the sun.48. Which two planets make the longest trips around the sun among all the planets in the solar system?A. Mercury and Venus.B. Neptune and Pluto.C. Saturn and Uranus.D. Mars and Jupiter.49. From the passage we can see .A.all the objects, big or small, must exert the same pull on one anotherrge objects exert the same pull on anybody as small objectsC.small objects exert the same on large onesD.each object in the universe exerts a pull on all other objects50. From the sentence “The pull between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses.” We can infer that the pull between .A.the sun and the moon is greater than between the sun and the earthB.the earth and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earthC.the sun and the earth is greater than that between the earth and the moonD.the sun and the earth is the same as that between the earth and the moon第四节词汇（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）根据英文注释、首字母提示或汉语提示写出相应的单词。
