He has just one line and you’re the only one who fits his clothes!” One afternoon, the school drama(戏剧) director suddenly shouted to me. She seemed so nervous and worried that I felt sorry for her and said, “OK”.‎ ‎“You will be fine. It’s easy!” she said. But it wasn’t easy at all. On the stage(舞台), four other actors and actresses spoke their lines, and I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I couldn’t even breathe. I just wanted to leave. The next thing I knew, I was running off the stage.‎ As I was running off the stage, I accidentally knocked over a glass of grape juice that was on a table. The purple juice hit the girl next to me – Andrea, the leading actress of the drama. She gave me a nasty look. I thought she was going to kill me!‎ But then, Andrea quickly said, “Darling, you’re so silly! Let's toast(干杯) to my darling’s silliness! Cheers!” She quickly took another glass of grape juice and drank it. The other actors quickly followed Andrea’s lead and saved the scene(场面). The audience(观众) thought my mistake was part of the play!‎ I said sorry to everyone after the play. To my surprise, they were not angry with me.

Although hot weather just makes most people hot, it can cause medical problems and death.‎ Floods, storms and other terrible natural events(事件) kill thousands of people every year. And we hear much about them in news reports. We hear little about heat, which experts(专家) say may be nature’s most dangerous killer.‎ Health experts say that since the year 1900, very hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event. One year – the unusual hot summer of 1980 heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1995, more than 600 people died in another heat wave in one city – Chicago, Illinois.‎ Besides drinking lots of cool water, doctors say there are some other things to do to protect against the health dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Wear loose and light-colored clothes. Wear a hat while in the sun. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. And when possible, cook foods during cooler time of the day. If possible, rest more often.‎ Health experts say these simple steps can stop the dangerous health problems caused by heat. They will stop sickness, help you feel better and may even save your life.‎ ‎46.

Alan Kaufman has thought up the “Nubrella”, which means “new”+ “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free ‎ umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain，wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry．‎ ‎“I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and thought up a solution,” said the inventor．The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the Nubrella was born．‎ One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a usual umbrella, you wear it. The shoulder straps(肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points． ‎ ‎51. “Nubrella” is a kind of umbrella．     A. usual B. hands-free C. traditional D. paper ‎52.

When you are walking in the rain, you’d better take the Nubrella．     D. If you go out with the Nubrella in the rain, you’d better drink a hot cup of coffee． 54. It can be learned from the passage that ．     A. Alan Kaufman often uses umbrellas in everyday life     B. the new kind of umbrella was invented by an umbrella store owner     C. the inventor thought for a long time before inventing the Nubrella     D. you can do other things with your hands when using the Nubrella ‎55. In writing this passage, the writer mainly intends(意图) to ．     A. introduce this new kind of umbrella to people who are selling umbrellas     B. tell the readers about a great inventor named Alan Kaufman     C. tell the readers about a new invention that is very useful D. tell the readers that the inventor didn’t want to invent anything ‎ ‎ 第二部分（主观性试题：95分）‎ 分） ‎ A: Hi!

It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings. 　　In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. 　  The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). 　　Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger. 　Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃. Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. (   )16.What can cause problems on health？ A. Hot and wet weather   B. A strong wind   C. Warm weather   D.

Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad. C. Weather Influences Feelings.    D. Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and Feelings. C Lightning(闪电)is shocking, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes(袭击)every day in the world-that’s thirty strikes every second.‎ ‎ Lightning can also be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade. American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times! So, why does lightning strike? Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)together, and cause atmospheric(大气层的)changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge(静电电荷). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans. About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result. Lightning is certainly not something to toy with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Trees attract lightning. Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease.‎ ‎(   )11. Lightning strikes ________. A. happen three billion times each day    B. will start when there are big fires C. can reach very high temperatures   D. kill all those who work in a park (   )12. What does “surviving” in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A.目睹     B.幸存     C.制造     D. 遇难 (   )13. We can infer(推断)from paragraph 3 that ________. A. lightning strikes are caused whenever ice and water meet B. lightning between two clouds is the most dangerous for humans C. lightning strikes create static charge D. about one tenth of the people struck by lightning die every year in America (   )14. Which expression means “to toy with” in the last paragraph? A. to play with    B. to take seriously   C. to show off   D. to take it easy (   )15. Where’s the best place to be when lightning strikes? A. On top of a hill.    B. In a swimming pool.    C. In a tree.    D. Inside.‎ D It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people. Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地)，either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of ‎ living. Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world. I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason. (   )16. People with little education usually _______. A. spend a long time in school         B. have a good chance to get a job C. spend the best years choose jobs     D. have fewer chances to get a good job  (   )17. The earliest education was probably to __________. A. make a man lead a better life     B. teach a man to write and think C. make people get a way of living   D. teach people to read good books (   )18. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ _______” in Chinese. A. 圆满的          B.崭新的        C. 公平的        D. 全面的 (   )19. It is expected that educated people will be able to _________.  A. accept education as a way of living    B. take an interest in the whole world           C. develop their abilities to make plays     D. learn subjects like language and math (   )20. The passage mainly tells us that _________. A. education should make a man improve   B. people can get education in a short time C. people should be able to get better paying jobs  D. all subjects are so important for a way of living A  Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of seeing the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move. About two thousand years ago, the first people went to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. So lots of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. However, the scenery (自然景色) in Hawaii hasn’t changed much. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time, taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing. So if you’re thinking about relaxing yourself, Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose. (   )1. The sun in Hawaii drops too quickly for people to see it move.   (   )2. In Hawaii, a large number of nice big hotels have been built in recent years. (   )3. The scenery in Hawaii is quite different from what it was many years ago. (   )4.
