　　1.D考查名詞。由文章第一句話“My husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday.”可知，“我們”有雙吊鉤“窗戶”，這樣“窗戶”便于你能向前推并翻轉。C 考查動詞。第一段提到：昨天“我”和丈夫一起擦窗子。由此可知是便于“我們”“擦洗”窗戶里面和外面。故clean“把……弄干凈”符合語境。A考查動詞。由文章第一段可知，夫妻二人正在擦洗窗戶，此處指應該是“我”丈夫正在“洗”一扇窗戶。故wash“沖；洗”符合語境。B考查名詞。由語境可知應該是“我們”“房子house）”要出售。A考查動詞。由前面“…and it popped out of its frame!”可知，窗子壞了。故此處應該表示“我們”最不需要事情就是東西“壞了”。break“打破、弄壞”符合語境。C考查形容詞。由下文中“…, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say).”可知，丈夫感到那么不安(worried)。D 由上文中提到“it popped out of its frame!”應該使窗戶恢復原樣。get …back意為“恢復”符合語境。C 考查動詞。由下文中“…and he would try to fix it with me.”可知，丈夫盡力把窗戶“安裝”在一起。A考查名詞。由倒數第二段中“And my son fixing it with me”可知答案。B 考查動詞短語。由下文中“I called my husband in to see!”可知，兒子告訴他父親走開一會……。walk away“走開”符合語境。D 考查副詞。由前面“clearly”及后面語境可知應該用“easily”合適。A 考查形容詞。由最后一段中第一句話“Calm is good.”可知當你“鎮定”時候，看事情更清晰，做事情更容易。C 考查動詞。由上一段中“After twenty minutes he still could not get it….”可知丈夫二十分鐘后仍沒能把窗戶安裝好。再由下文中“He and I fixed the window in three minutes!”可知，他無法“相信”！D 考查連詞。由上下文語境可知是轉折關系。故選but。A考查動詞。由上下文語境可知，應該是兒子“讓”自己父親走開一會……。B考查動詞辨析。兒子幫助父親從焦慮中擺脫出來。free …from …意為“使……擺脫……”符合語境。而keep…from…，阻止某人……；protect …from…，保護……免受；save …from…，從……挽救……均不符合語境。C考查名詞。由本段第一句知，“我”知道這并不真是一份禮物，但是在某一方面，它又是。故推知，“我”兒子和我一起修理窗戶，對“我”而言是一份“禮物”。D考查介詞短語。由上文中“a man ”可知下文中與之對應應該是“the kid”，故選instead of“而不是”。D考查名詞。在母親眼中兒子。故用“in one’s eyes”。其它三項均不符合語境。B 考查動詞短語。turn out結果是，證明是。語境為：帶著清醒頭腦返回并且事情將通常產生更好結果。break out pull out

　　離開，撤離； make out理解，辨認出。

　　閱讀理解smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate. And then, your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare(噩夢) when someone is screaming, “Get up！” It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.

　　Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.

　　Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy,_even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.

　　The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late.teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control.Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake.

　　The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change.

　　36．What's the meaning of the underlined word “truancy”？Classes.

　　C．Absence.

　　D．Practice.

　　37．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle.

　　B．Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am as a whole.

　　C．Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study.

　　D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason.

　　38．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A．Monkseaton High School is satisfied with the result of the experiment.

　　B．It is very cruel for the teenagers to show up in class at 9 am every day.

　　C．Monkseaton High School plans to change the school time forever.

　　D．In fact, teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon.

　　39．What's the best title for this passage?

　　A．Get up early, teenagers!

　　B．Finally, a school understands teenagers

　　C．Why do teenagers stay up late?

　　D．Differences between teens and adults

　　課后閱讀----------- Modern cavemen

　　現代洞穴人

　　Cave exploration, or pot-holing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures people down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-holer's motives. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climber. They arouse instincts which can only be dimly understood.

　　Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday afternoon rambler. Such undertakings require the precise planning and foresight of military operations. It can take as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply bases before a descent can be made into a very deep cave. Precautions of this sort are necessary, for it is impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficulties which will confront the pot-holer. The deepest known cave in the world is the Gouffre Berger near Grenoble. It extends to a depth of 3,723 feet. This immense chasm has been formed by an underground stream which has tunneled a course through a flaw in the rocks. The entrance to the cave is on a plateau in the Dauphine Alps. As it is only six feet across, it is barely noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French pot-holer, Berger. Since its discovery, it has become a sort of pot-holers' Everest(珠峰). Though a number of descents have been made, much of it still remains to be explored.

　　A team of pot-holers recently went down the Gouffre Berger. After entering the narrow gap on the plateau, they climbed down the steep sides of the cave until they came to narrow corridor. They had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading across shallow streams, or swimming across deep pools. Suddenly they came to a waterfall which dropped into an underground lake at the bottom of the cave. They plunged into the lake, and after loading their gear on an inflatable rubber dinghy, let the current carry them to the other side. To protect themselves from the icy water, they had to wear special rubber suits. At the far end of the lake, they came to huge piles of rubble which had been washed up by the water. In this part of the cave, they could hear an insistent booming sound which they found was caused by a small water-spout shooting down into a pool from the roof of the cave. Squeezing through a cleft in the rocks, the pot-holers arrived at an enormous cavern, the size of a huge concert hall. After switching on powerful arc lights, they saw great stalagmites -- some of them over forty feet high -- rising up like tree-trunks to meet the stalactites suspended from the roof. Round about, piles of limestone glistened in all the colours of the rainbow. In the eerie（可怕的） silence of the cavern, the only sound that could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from the high dome above them.

　　洞穴勘查——或洞穴勘探——是一項比較新的體育活動。尋求獨處的愿望或尋求意外發現的機會的欲望吸引人們來到地下深處。要想對洞穴探險者的動機作出滿意的解釋是不可能的。對洞穴探險者來說，洞穴有一種特殊的魅力，就像高山對登山者有特殊魅力一樣。為什么洞空能引發人的那種探險本能，人們對此只能有一種模模糊糊的理解。

　　探測非常深的洞穴不是那些在星期日下午漫步的人所能勝任的。這種活動需要有軍事行動般的周密布署和預見能力。有時需要花費整整8天時間來搭起繩梯，建立供應基地，然后才能到一個很深的洞穴里。作出這樣的準備是必要的，因為無法預見到洞穴探險者究竟會遇到什么性質的困難。世界上最深的洞穴是格里諾布爾附近的高弗.伯杰洞，深達3,723英尺。這個深邃的洞穴是由一條地下暗泉沖刷巖石中的縫隙并使之慢慢變大而形成的。此洞的洞口在丹芬阿爾卑斯山的高原上，僅6英尺寬，很難被發現。若不是法國著名洞穴探險家伯杰由于偶然的機會發現了這個洞口的話，這個洞也許不會為人所知。自從被發現以后，這個洞成了洞穴探險者的珠穆朗瑪峰，人們多次進入洞內探險，但至今尚有不少東西有待勘探。最近，一隊洞穴探險者下到了高弗.伯杰洞里。他們從高原上的窄縫進去，順著筆直陡峭的洞壁往下爬。來到一條狹窄的走廊上。他們不得不側著身子往前走，有時過淺溪，有時游過深潭。突然，他們來到一道瀑布前，那瀑布奔瀉而下，注入洞底一處地下湖里。他們跳入湖中，把各種器具裝上一只充氣的橡皮艇，聽任水流將他們帶往對岸。湖水冰冷刺骨，他們必須穿上一種特制的橡皮服以保護自己。在湖的盡頭，他們見到一大堆一大堆由湖水沖刷上岸的碎石。在這兒，他們可以聽見一種連續不斷的轟鳴聲。后來他們發現這是由山洞頂部的一個小孔里噴出的水柱跌落到水潭中發出的聲音。洞穴探險者從巖石縫里擠身過去，來到一個巨大的洞里，其大小相當于一個音樂廳。他們打開強力弧光燈，看見一株株巨大的石筍，有的高達40英尺，像樹干似地向上長著，與洞頂懸掛下來的鐘乳石相接。周圍是一堆堆石灰石，像彩虹一樣閃閃發光。洞里有一種可怕的寂靜，唯一的可以聽見的聲響是高高的圓頂上不間斷地滴水的嘀嗒聲。

　　A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable.The microprocessor card can add, delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.

　　Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information.In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.

　　Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market: IC (Integrated Circuit) Microprocessor Cards (Chip Cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do.Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things.Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity.Some examples of these cards are：
