April Fools Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Years Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people didnt know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Years Day on April 1st were teased. They were called fools. Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee by accident. Or someone might change the time on another persons alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked. After we play the trick, we say April Fools. Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesnt cause any real harm(伤害) to anyone.59. Before the sixteenth century, New Years Day was on .A. April 1stB. January 1stC. September 1stD. October 1st60. Sometimes people lie to shock someone on .A. New Years DayB. Christmas DayC. April Fools DayD. Thanksgiving Day61. In the 2nd paragraph, the closest meaning of the underlined word teased is in English.A. hitB. criticizedC. laughed atD. disagreed62. What should be the right attitude(态度) towards April Fool?A. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesnt cause any real harm to anyone.B. It is done for the real fools.C. We neednt say April Fools when we play jokes on people on April 1st.D. We can do anything to others.C Lets try doing the following experiment. What to Do: Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest(胸部) level. Pick up a stick, such as a broom handle. Take three or four steps away from the paper clip. Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip. Try to touch it with the tip of the stick. If you miss, try again, still keeping one eye closed. Now try it with both eyes open and see if its easier to do. How it works: In the experiment, you have to judge how far away the paper clip is. Your brain has several ways of doing this. One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus(聚焦) itself. Using only one eye, most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try, but the brain still gets some information about distancethough not much. Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes. In fact, your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance. For example, to see anything clearly, you have to make both of your eyes point at the object. When you look at a nearby object, your eyes turn inward. You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose. Your brain gets information from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other. Using that information, the brain can tell how far away any object is, whether it is a basketball or a paper clip.63. How many materials do we need at least to do the experiment?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.64. The passage is mainly about that with eyes our brain can judge .A. how big an object isB. how high an object isC. how far away an object isD. how much information an object is65. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Our brain judges distance in one way when we use both eyes.B. Our brain cannot judge the distance of a small object but a big one.C. How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the size of an object.D. How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the distance of an object.66. From the experiment we can infer(推断) .A. with one eye we can see an object as clearly as we use two eyesB. our eyes turn towards the inside when we look at an object very nearC. within 3 or 4 steps, the nearer an object is, the more clearly we can see itD. our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use one eyeD One of my sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down. When I think about the bamboo trees ability to bend and move back, the word resilience comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it. Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but dont break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having. If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but dont break!67. What does the word snap in the second paragraph most probably mean?A. breakB. changeC. winD. complain68. What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?A. Holding peace and quiet in mind.B. Waiting until sufferings disappear.C. Experiencing more bad times.D. Hoping for a better tomorrow.69. What would be the best title of this passage?A. Memories of BambooB. Be Like BambooC. Enjoying BambooD. Characteristics of Bamboo七、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分） Being safe at school and in your everyday life needs knowledge.

It has become a very important part in our daily lives. We cant imagine living without the Web, the short form of the World Wide Web. In 1989, a British engineer named Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea of the Web. It is a group of pages of information that are connected to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has greatly changed the way people live. With a click(点击) of a mouse we can read news, buy things, make friends and learn anything were interested in. Now, 25 years after its birth, how will the Web influence life in the future? Scientists believe there are both advantages and disadvantages. A growing Web will help build better relationships between different cultures. Also in the future, everyday items could be connected to the Web. We could share plenty of information to make our daily lives more convenient(方便的). So one day in the future, your front door could send you a message. Dear sir, everyone has left the house, but Im still open! But scientists warn(警告) us that if we share personal information on the Internet it could get into the wrong hands. Its not wise to spend a whole day in front of the screen.
