   Jane Warner’s husband, Jack, was sent to prison for two years for stealing. While he was in prison, Jane had a very difficult time. because She had two children, but no job. And her husband, of course, couldn’t make any money either. The only small amount she had was from the government.
   “I don’t know how we will manage,” she wrote to her husband in prison. “I get only enough money to pay the rent. There isn’t enough money for food. I think I’ll have to plant vegetables in the garden. They’ll grow quickly. We can live on vegetables.”
   The garden was quite large, and much of it was covered with grass.
   When Jack Warner received his wife’s letter, he replied to her immediately. “Don’t dig up the garden,” he wrote. “That’s where the money I stole is hidden.”
   All letters written by the prisoners were read by one of the guards before they were mailed. When the guard read Jack’s letter, he took it to the head guard. When the head guard read it, he called the police. He told them what Jack had written to his wife. And the police immediately went to Jack’s house. They took forks and shovels with them. They dug up the garden, looking for the money, but they found nothing.
   When they had gone, Mrs. Warner wrote to her husband. “The police came today,” she wrote. “and they dug up all the grass. What should I do?” Her husband wrote back very soon, “Plant the vegetables.”

   Check out our tsunami（海啸） facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.
   Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
    As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough,  the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.
   Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate（撤离）as possible.
   When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast),  they slow down but increase in height.
   An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries.
   In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.
   The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 meters（131feet）in some areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
   The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”.
   Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal（潮水的）waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.
   25. How many reasons are mentioned in the passage that may cause tsunamis?
   1. One.            B. Two.    C. Three.              D. Four.

26. which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon?

1. An earthquake takes place. B. The water marches towards the coast.
   C. The water near the shore is pulled back. D. The water near the shore is very shallow.
   27. What can we learn from the passage?
   A. The word “tsunami” is from British English.
       B. The term “tidal wave ” is used more often than “ tsunami ”.
   C. Sone nuclear accident happened after Indonesia tsunami.
   D. More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohoku tsunami.
   28. The passage is developed mainly by __________.
   1. listing the facts B. giving some examples
      C. providing some numbers D. making some conclusions
      C
      A recent research at University of Florida has showed the secret of sticking to（坚持）an exercise program.
      If you are outgoing and like being with people, you may get bored quickly when exercising alone. Try aerobics（增氧健身法）. You need communication, and working out with others makes you keep going. Besides, regular classes will improve your ability to take in and use oxygen. As a result, your heart and lungs will work well.
      If you are well-organized and appreciate you own time, you’ll prefer to choose your own exercise program. Try gym which challenges you, work with weight-lifting which builds your body shape, or do the cycle that is great for fat-burning.
      If you push yourself to do well at work, you’ll like competing against others. Try team sports. Ball games will give you something to aim for. The games will provide overall（全面的）training and your health condition will improve, reducing the risk of having diseases.
      If things are getting on top of you, choose a kind of exercise that reduces the pressure in the body. Try a relaxing class. Lying at full length is a great way to let stored-up physical pressure out. Such a way also makes the body suppler（柔韧的）, which makes the risk of injury lower during the activity.
      29. What is the advantage of having regular exercise classes?
      A. People will enjoy more fresh air B. People will become more outgoing
      C. People will improve their breath D. People will have fewer heart diseases
      30. The underlined words “the cycle” in Paragraph 3 means .
      A. a king of gym B. a kind of challenge C. a kind of medicine D. a kind of exercise
      31. What exercise may reduce the risk of getting hurt?
      A. Regular exercises B. Weight-lifting C. Ball games D. Relaxing classes
      32. This passage is mainly about .
      A. different ways to do exercise B. different choices of exercise
      C. different secrets of exercise D. different types of exercise
      D

36 People who don’t read newspapers are sometimes called non-readers. Generally, non-readers are low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. What’s more, non-readers are more likely to get away from the crowd. 37.

Why don’t these read daily papers? They say that they don’t have the time; they have no interest in reading at all. 38

Recent surveys, however, have shown that there appears to be a group of non-readers that don’t fit the type mentioned above. 39 They are far more likely to say they have no time and that they have no interest in the content.

40 First, they are adding news briefs to help overcome the time problem. Also, they are giving variety（多样化）to the newspaper contents to help build the readers, interest.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to be close 61someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk，laugh and to things with. Surely，sometimes we need to be alone. We don^'t always want people around. But we would feel 62（lone）if we never had a friend.

It is 65（surprise）to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named 66 men or women who are 67 （friend）to people in a town. Some 68 （library）are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There is more good news for people who have friends. They live 69 （long）than people who don^'t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy 70 (they) you stay well. Or it could just know that someone cares. If someone cares about you，you will feel good.

第三节 书面表达（满分25分）

Dear friends, we’re honored to welcome you to our school. Today, we’d like to share our culture with you by introducing the art of Jianzhi, Chinese paper-cutting, which is for celebrations, festivals and home decoration. Two Chinese characters—Fu, good fortune, and Xi, happiness—are our student Jianzhi club’s focus this week. Fu is always posted upside down, which is homophonic with “Fu comes” in Chinese. And Xi often appears in pairs at weddings because double Xi represents double happiness. In a moment, we’ll break you into mixed groups to experience firsthand the joy and history of the traditional craft. After today, I hope you’ll each have a piece of fortune and happiness to keep you company. So please enjoy yourselves!
