They walked to school together almost every day, and after school they always had time to play. But Ryan did have one problem. It was his 31 , Allie. Somehow, Allie just didnt understand that Ryan and his friends didnt want her around. Wherever they went, her little 32 worked overtime to keep up with the boys. Whenever she came up, she always looked around and said, “Here I am” . But nobody would like to play with her. Ryan tried asking his mom to 33 Allie at home. “Why does my sister have to come along?” he asked. “Troys sister doesnt. Jimmys sister doesnt. Why me?” Ryans mother just laughed. “Troys sister is only six months old, and Jimmy doesnt have a sister. Guess that makes you the 34 one, Ryan.” Today, Ryan wanted to play whiffle ball with his friends after school. They used to play with a hard ball, but one of them broke a window at Mr. McWhirters house. Boy, had Ryan and his friends gotten into trouble for that one! Mr. McWhirter wouldnt even give them their ball 35 . Today, as usual, Allie caught up with the boys and said, “Here I am.” Just as 36 , everyone ignored(不理睬) her. Finally, the game got started. It was Jimmys turn to 37 . He beat the ball hardright into Mr. McWhirters yard. The ball lay in the grass, just out of 38 . The boys looked at each other and nobody knew what to do. Just at that time, Troy shouted: “Ryan, look at Allie. I mean, look at how 39 she is.” “Yeah,” said Jimmy. “Shes so small, she can 40 through the fence!” Allie looked at Ryan and his friends. Then she slipped through（滑過）the fence, picked up the ball, and came back out of the yard. She handed the ball to Ryan and waited, 41 the boys to see if they wanted her to do anything else. “Whoooo-eee,” said Troy. “That was quick. Thanks, Allie.” “Nice job,” said Jimmy, patting (輕拍)her on the head. Hearing these words, Ryans heart was filled with 42 . “Come on,” said Ryan, “Ill teach you how to swing the bat.”31.

They were the in thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasnt being replaced. Wed been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everythingso most of the new stuff (東西) we got was really just to replace what wed lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasnt my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. Youll recognize this one, she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. Theyd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.43.The underlined word in in the first paragraph probably means _.A.fashionable B.available C.practical D.renewable44.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The writers family moved several times.B.The writer never stopped looking for her ring.C.The writers ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.D.The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.45.What would be the best title for the passage?A.My New Ring B.Lost and Found C.Lost and Replaced D.An Expensive Ring B“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well. “Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone(腔調(diào))with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.” The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you. Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like46. How does the author understand Maxies words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author B. Maxie really wishes the author a good dayC. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy D. Maxie really worries about the authors security47. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude B. The salesgirl is boredC. The salesgirl cares about me D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine48. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day a Social Custom B. Have a Nice Day a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day a Polite Ending of a Conversation CA petition(請(qǐng)?jiān)笗?on with some 75000 signatures (簽名)is asking a Florida school district to change the name of a high school that is named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, a founding member of the original Ku Klux Klan. The KKK was a secret American political organization of white men who opposed people of other races or religions. According to Marsha Oliver chief of communications for the Duval County School District, it doesnt matter how many people sign the petition because the process for changing a schools name is community-based and the final decision is up to the school board(校董事會(huì)).The school board was asked by the School Advisory Council in April 2007 to change the name but the board voted 5-2 against it. Its membership has changed since then.The school was named after Forrest when it opened with white students only in 1959, a name suggestion that came from an organization called Daughters of the Confederacy. Now, more than half of the schools students are African-American.The petition was drawn up by a man named Omotaya Richamond, who wrote the following to explain his action: I moved to Jacksonville from Long Island 12 years ago. Since then, I have put down roots here. I have helped raise a beautiful daughter here. This place is my home now. Jacksonville is home to Nathan Bedford Forrest High School, named in honor of a founding member of the original Ku Klux Klan. I dont want my daughter, or any student, going to a school with such a name. Five years ago, the school board voted 5-2 to keep the name. But a lot has changed in five years. All five members who voted for Nathan Bedford Forrest High School have been replaced. There is a new school superintendent(學(xué)監(jiān))who publicly stated that he would support a push from our community to change the name. Now is the time to correct a historical wrong. African-American Jacksnville students shouldnt have to attend a high school named for someone who killed and terrorize their ancestors one more school year. Please support changing the name today.49.

Forrest was a founding member of the KKK.52.The author writes this passage mainly to _.A. sign a petition. B. report a petition. C. support a petition D. organize a petition.五、閱讀與表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題1分，滿分5分）How important is homework? According to the Los Angeles Unified School District(LAUSD), its not that important! The district has made a big change for the 2011-2012 school year. It started on July 1, homework counts for only 10% of a students grade. The district, the second largest in the country, says its new way can provide a fairer assessment(評(píng)定) of students homework and achievements. The district hopes students only need to spend less time on homework and more time on hobbies and with their families. By reducing the weight of homework toward a students grade, a truer picture of the students knowledge will be shown in the achievement grade. However, it doesnt mean the students can throw out homework. It says that homework is a chance for students to practice their skills and a tool for students to prepare for coming lessons. Still, LAUSD is joining a growing list of schools that have controlled the amount of homework. How much time children should spend on homework is a hot topic. Harris Cooper, a professor at a university, says that the proper amount of homework time is ten minutes a day multiplied by(乘以) the students grade. This means a third grader should spend 30 minutes a day on homework. And a sixth grader would spend 60 minutes. “Good homework in the proper amount will have better effects on them,” he said. “Bad homework or too much homework will have worse effects.” But some people think homework is an important part of learning. They say many children just wont try their best if homework doesnt count toward their grade. Some teachers also think homework is important. They argue that students who do their homework perform better on tests and in school than those who do not. They are afraid that the new way will encourage students to pay less attention to homework.
