passage.A“Mum，what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣櫥)？” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet？” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well，its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.For example，if in the past，someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse，it would be a skeleton in his familys closetHe really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family？” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good，you know.Wasnt your greatgreatgrandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes？” “Yes，but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh，sorry I asked.I think I understand now，” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner，the house was very quiet.Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other.Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband，who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.When she finished，she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet.Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt，a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.Jessicas mother sank into a faint (暈倒)，waking only when Jessica put a cold，wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened？Where am I？” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton，Mum，” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project.I meant to tell you，but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets，it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “Theyre both crazy，” she thought.56According to Jessicas mother，“a skeleton in the closet” means “_”Aa family honor Ba family secretCa family story Da family treasure57What can we learn about some Australians ancestors from Paragraph 2？AThey were brought to Australia as prisoners.BThey were the earliest people living in Australia.CThey were involved

probably because _.Athey were crazyBthey were overexcitedCthey realized their misunderstandingDthey both thought they had won the quarrelBI went from being Camerons friend to her enemy.The popular kids all called_me_names.They played tricks on me，and sometimes when they passed me in the hall，theyd put me into the lockers(儲(chǔ)物柜)It got so bad that I hated going to school.Every afternoon，Id sit in my room and cry.Maybe youre wondering why I didnt just tell on them.I wanted to，but I was afraid.Sure，Id get them in a little troublebut wouldnt that just make them hate me more？Although I knew that what Cameron and her friends were doing was wrong，part of me kept thinking that maybe the problem was me.Then I found http：/，and suddenly，I just couldnt stand it anymore.I knew I had to speak out，even if I was scared.After I finished crying，I talked to my parents.And the next day，I went to the principal and told her everything.Since then，Ive learned that I wasnt alone at all.A lot of kids are victims of bullies(仗勢(shì)欺人者)，and a lot of girls，especially，are victims of “cyber bullies”Its so easy to bully someone onlineyou can cut her down and never even have to see the hurt on her face.You can post embarrassing pictures or insults without admitting that youre the one doing it.Its as bad as being bullied in personor maybe even worse.So I started speaking out about bullying and cyber bullying at my school and in my community.At first，it was really hard to tell my story，but Im glad I did.Instead of telling me Im a loser，kids told me I was brave.Some people even called me a hero！61The underlined phrase “called me names” in the first paragraph most probably means “_”Acalled aloud my name in publicBasked me to play with themCasked me what my name wasDsaid insulting words to me62Why did the writer cry every afternoon？AShe felt alone.BShe got bullied.CShe failed her exams.DShe hated going to school.63Why did the writer keep silent at first？AShe was scared.BShe had no

writer mainly want to tell readers in the passage？ADont insult someone on the Net.BMake as many friends as possible.CBe brave enough to stop being bullied.DBe yourself and show your strength.CComputers are increasingly important in health care.But can they also help poor people escape poverty？Vikram Sheel Kumar thinks so.Mr.Kumar is a doctor，an engineer and the head of a small business in Boston，Massachusetts.And，in September，this 28yearold man received an award for Technology in Service to Humanity.That award came from Technology Review magazine.His goal is to improve health care in poor nations with the help of computer which is small enough to hold in one hand.These devices are known as personal digital assistants，or PD.A.Dr.Kumar started his company two years ago.It is called Dimagi，which means “smart guy” in Hindi.His parents came from India.There，Dimagi computer programs are used to organize medical information on more than 70，000 patients.Dr.Kumar says health care workers had problems at first，but then learned quickly how to use the devices.Nurses no longer have to carry heavy documents whenever they travel to villages.And they no longer have to copy large amounts of health information by hands.In South Africa，health workers are using a Dimagi program for a different purpose in the KwaZuluNatal area.They use it to provide patients with results from tests for HIV，the virus that causes AIDS.People who get tested must enter a secret identification code to see the results.And，in Boston，children with diabetes are using a Dimagi system to learn about their disease and how to control it.The software includes games and ways for the children to communicate with others with diabetes.Dr.Vikram Kumar says it is important to get patients involved in their own health care by helping them gain information.He says there are endless possible uses for this technology，especially in developing countries.And he urges people to suggest ways to improve it.Dimagi programs are written in code that is open to anyone.66The best title of the passage is_.ADr.Kumar and His DimagiBA Genius in IndiaCAIDS in South AfricaDA New SoftwareP.D.A.67Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？ADimagi program began to be used in India many years ago.BChildren with diabetes can get cured by playing games of Dimagi.CDimagi program is very useful only in developing countries.DDimagi program can and will surely be improved in the future.68We can conclude from the passage that Dr.Kumar is a person_.Awho is young and talented and easy to accept other peoples opinionsBwho has once suffered from diabetes before as wellCwho owns a lot of property and wealthDwho hasnt been publicly admitted in the field of medicine and IT69The advantages of the devices that Dr.Kumar invented include the following except that_.Athey are easy to be carried about because they are light in weight and small in sizeBthey are easy to learn and use and have a large space to be improvedCthey can store a lot of information of the patients which otherwise doctors had to copy by handsDthey are written in a secret code that only patients know70We can infer from the passage that_.ADimagi program is more developed in India than in
