On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I havent lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. Its about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didnt stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didnt make me very popular, of course. “He thinks hes clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brians team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.“Hes big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.56The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “ ”.A. How old are you? B. Where are you from?C. Do you want to join my gang?D. When did you come back to London?57We can learn from the passage that .A. boys were usually unfriendly to new studentsB. the writer was not greeted as he expectedC. Brian praised the writer for his clevernessD. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper58The underlined part “I didnt stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not .A. noticeableB. welcomeC. importantD. foolish59The writer was offered a handkerchief because .A. he threw himself down and saved the goal B. he pushed a player on the other teamC. he was beginning to be acceptedD. he was no longer a newcomerB“If you talk to the plants, they will grow faster and the effect is even better if youre a woman.” Researchers at Royal Horticultural Society carried out an experiment to find that the voice of a woman gardener makes plants grow faster. The experiment lasted a month and by the end of the study scientists managed to discover that tomato plants grew up two inches taller when women gardeners talked to them instead of male. Sarah Darwin was the one making the plants registered the best growth. Her voice was the most “inspiring” for plants than those of nine other gardeners when reading a passage from The Origin of Species. The great-great-granddaughter of the famous botanist(植物学家) Charles Darwin found that her plant grew about two inches taller than the plant of the best male gardener. Colin Crosbie, Garden Superintendent at RHS, said that the finding cannot yet be explained. He assumes that women have a greater range of pitch(音高) and tone(音调) which might have a certain effect on the sound waves that reach the plant. “Sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light ,”said Mr Grosbie.The study began in April at RHS Garden Wisley in Survey. Scientists started with open auditions(听力) for the people who were asked to record passages from John Wyndhams The Day of the Triffids, Shakespeares A Midsummers Night Dream and Darwins The Origin of Species.Afterwards researchers selected a number of different voices and played them to 10 tomato plants during a period of a month. Each plant had headphones(耳机) connected to it. Through the headphones the sound waves could hit the plants. It was discovered that plants that “listened” to female voices on average grew taller by an inch in comparison to plants that heard male voices.Miss Darwin said, “I think it is an honor to have a voice that can make tomatoes grow, and especially fitting because for a number of years I have been studying wild tomatoes from the Galapagos Island at the Natural History Museum in London.”60What does the passage talk about? A. Plants enjoy mens voices than womens. B. A botanical experiment in a museum. C. Voices influence on plant growing. D. Strange phenomenon(现象) at Royal Horticultural Society.61What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. Plants need sound as well as rain and light. B. Sound is basic for the plant to grow. C. Sound has a good effect as rain or light does.D. Plants cant live without sound, rain or light.62Sarah Darwin is most likely a (an)_. A. botanist B. gardener C. astronomer D. environmentalist63What can we learn from the passage? A. The experiment ended in May. B. Scientist can explain the findings clearly. C. Plants enjoy listening to the passages from masterpieces. D. The findings are of great importance to human beings.CWe were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful(糟糕的) lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to father for help, he didnt say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon(午餐)soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅出) “ The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldnt stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Fathers wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.64The authors father took her to the top of a church tower to _ Aenjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town Bfind out how many ways lead to the square Cinspire her to find out another way to solve her problem Dhelp her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day65. What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?A. Do something delicious for lunch. B. Taste her awful lunch.C. Dismiss the mad cook.D. Speak to the school about lunch.66. By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us _.A. when one road is blocked, try another B. how bad the lunch of her school isC. how wise her father is D. about the church tower near her homeDThe Museum: The Charles Dickens Museum in London is the worlds most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist and social commentator(时事评论员).The only surviving London home of Dickens (from 1837 until 1839) was opened as a museum in 1925 and is still welcoming visitors from all over the world.
