It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to $30,000 reward money. Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Biebers bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building. She said, “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.” The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Years Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said, “He didnt seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stall McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 p.m. Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 p.m. to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes. “It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside? My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key. “I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that pair of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the mans room, but I could see the passage (走廊). The police kept shouting at the man to e out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have e out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带手铐).”36. The underlined phrase “be in line for” in the first paragraph means_. A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own 37. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because_. A. the police called her B. he looked very strange C. he came to the hotel with little luggage D. he came to the hotel the day before New Years Eve 38. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in_. A. the passage B. the mans room C. Vickis bedroom D. the top floor room 39. The whole event probably lasted about_ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers. A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14BMy husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that its Christmas again. They cant see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who arent much good. But Johnny and children cant see this. What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that weve saved isnt nearly enough. The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy(糖果)while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldnt eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why, is it only because they have money ? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isnt there?Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isnt rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. Id like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up. 40. This passage mainly suggests that the writer _.A. is easy to get along with B. is unhappy with the life they are livingC. is good at observing and understandingD. is never pleased with her neigbours41. What do you think of McGarity girl?A. She is proud and hungry. B. She is selfish and cruel.C. She is lonely and friendless. D. She is unhappy and misunderstood.42. In this text, the writer tries to tell us that _.A. money is the key to everythingB. the more money you have, the less happy youll be C. there is something more important than moneyD. when talking to people we should look into their eyes43. Pick out the one that does NOT describe the writers view on money.A. Why, is it only because they have money?B. There is more to happiness than money.C. Miss Jackson isnt rich, but she knows things. D. The money we saved isnt nearly enough.CWele to My Message Board!Mr. Handsome2010-5-12 6: 34 AMSubject: Slimming down classics? Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at 6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will wele the shorter versions.Mr. Edwards2010-5-12 9: 40 AM Well, Im publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr Handsome. I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping(跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones. As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but its not as if were withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.Ms Weir2010-5-12 11:35 AM Im director of the online book club love-reading.co.uk. Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. Im guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because its just so long. Id much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics! 44. According to the message board, Orion Books _. A. opposes the reading of original classics B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future D. is cautions in its decision to cut-down classics45. In Mr. Edwards opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to _. A. make them easier to read B. meet a large demand in the market C. increase the sales of literary books D. pete with their original versions 46. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms Weir _. A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics B. shows her love for original classics C. feels guilty of not reading the classics D. disapprove of shortening the classics DEvery culture has a recognized point when a child bees an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed. In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world. “Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. “Its like youre not cool if you dont have a car,” she said. According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay. Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car. But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive. Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learners permit. Chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said, “But Id rather be alive than driving, and I dont really trust my friends on the road, either.” In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this bee a big step to being an adult?47. Which may serve as the BEST title of the article? A. Cars Helping You to Grow-Up B. Driving into the Grown-Up World C. Teenagers Driving in America D. Recognized Point of Being an Adult48. 16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because_. A. they want to show themselves off B. they are never experienced drivers C. older people always drive better D. they never drive carefully on the road49. Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car? A. How well off the family is. B. Whether the kid is old enough. C. What traffic condition there is around. D. Whether its practically needed.50. The passage mainly gives information about_. A. an American culture B. a cultural difference between America and China C. a change in the Chinese culture D. the relationship between driving and a persons development第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _ 51 _ . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer. Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. _52 _ .The most mon kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) bees hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. _53 _ .First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole. _ 54 _.Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily. _55_ .As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will e down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.A. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.B. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.C. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher. E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal (把粘住) them together.GPeople use thermometers which are made by themselves when traveling around the world.IV. 短文改错（10分）下面短文中共有10处错误，每句中最多两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（），并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分Dear Jin Jing, Your problem is mon one among middle school students.
