But it can also be very harmful. Fire can make water hot and house warm, give light and cook food. But fire can burn (燃烧) things, too. It can make trees, houses, animals and other things catch fire (起火). If some people can't run away from fire, it can kill them. This happens in every country every year.     Sometimes big fire can burn forests. A month ago, a large forest fire broke out in Yunnan‎ ‎Province. It lasted nearly half a month. The forest in Heilongjiang Province and the grassland in Inner Mongolia caught fire in May, 2006. After ‎ more than ten days' fight, over 30,000 people and soldiers put out (扑灭) the fire at last. ‎ ‎     Nobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, but there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man who went to the sun and brought fire down a long time ago. Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece of paper and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire, and destroy many things. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with fire. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 61.

Many people even wear special clothes for dinner, so, if you are asked out to dinner, you must find out whether you are expected to wear a dinner suit.

If there is a guest (客人), he usually sits on the right of the lady of the house. If there are several guests, the most important one is asked to sit there. While the meal conversation is carried on, you should try to get into conversation with the person on your right or left, but you should not try to talk to someone who is long way from you. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 66.

Rowling is the writer of Harry Potter, which is now one of the best-sellers in the world.     J. K. Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31th, 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. The girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit, at the age of six.     After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator (翻译者) in London. During this time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic (魔法) but doesn't know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter, Jessica, and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1997. To her surprise, the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series (系列) is popular with people of all ages and about 60 million books were sold in 200 countries.     Why has the series been so successful? There are a few things. Many other magical stories happen in faraway lands or in past or future times. But Harry lives in modern (现代的) England. He's also a very ordinary boy: polite, friendly and clever. So when other children read about Harry, they can imagine being like him.     J. K. Rowling is very happy with the success, and she is now busy finishing the whole series of seven books. She's writing full time and she's really enjoying life. She says she will go on living an ordinary life with her daughter and writing children's books. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 71. J. K.

Even on weekends, my parents ask me to stay at home to study. I can't go to see a film, watch TV or play with other children. My parents never say to me about anything to do with the housework. Sometimes I feel I have the duty to do something to help my parents, but they just get everything done for me,” said Yang Ming, a sixteen-year-old student.     Experts say this won't change much unless the College Entrance Examination, which adds much pressure (压力) on high school students, is changed. ‎ ‎ 根据短文内容完成下列各题。 76.

Many 13 to 16-year-old children were studied over the past three years. It was found that those children who ate more fried food gained more weight than the normal kids.‎ Children who ate more fried food also ate fewer fruits and vegetables, and they ate fried food too often. If they keep their bad eating habits during their growing-up, these children will be heavier and perhaps be easier to get ill.‎ Everyone wants to be healthy. What and how should children eat then?‎ First, children should be encouraged to eat less fried food and to eat more healthy family dinners. Second, parents should teach their children to choose healthier food when eating out, and help them have a well-balanced diet to keep fit. Third, children should eat regularly. It's said that half of the children don't eat a regular breakfast or any food in the morning. In fact, a good breakfast can keep the body strong and help children not to overeat later in the day. And at last, food must be cleaned and cooked properly.‎ 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。‎ ‎71. Many________were studied over the past three years.‎ A. teenagers B. adults C. old people ‎72.

These kinds of ideas stop you from getting your dream, the book says.‎ In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what the dream is.‎ Don't let it leave your heart.

Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers( 可再利用的容器), taking smaller potions(份) at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.‎ Reuse To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!‎ Recycle (回收利用) Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.‎ Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the earth.

Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.‎ In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School‎, ‎Connecticut.‎ When I first studied English, I was told to say,” I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.‎ One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.‎ Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.‎ To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑).

You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.‎ But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glasses. If you drop one of these, they will be broken.

It is because we are different and each of us is special.‎ Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.‎ Don’t give up when you still have something to give. (83) Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.‎ Don’t be afraid to fight difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.‎ Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. (84) The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.‎ Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.‎ Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It’s a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.‎ Don’t use time or words carelessly.

Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don't know.

Our duty is to study well. However, some top students are not polite, and I don't consider them good students.‎ As for movie characters, I think Hermione in Harry Potter is a standard good student. She is top at school, and is clever, kind and brave.‎ Wu Lan , 15, Grade Eight A good student has a clear goal to achieve and never gives up. For example, our monitor is always concentrating(专心) in class. He doesn't care that we laugh at his silly gestures while he is trying to learn something by heart. In the latest exam he did best in our grade!‎ Chen Mu, 16, Grade Nine In my opinion, he or she who likes studying is a good student. They may not do well in exams, but they are always working hard and trying to improve.‎ I think Thomas Edison was a good student.

The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed （包装的）lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.‎ Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”‎ However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make of them.”‎ But hoe healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were lot of chips.”‎ Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.‎ So Janie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.‎ Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”‎ ‎ 根据材料内容选择最佳答案， 并将其标号填入题前括号内。‎ ‎（ ）51.How many meals do most children in the UK have at school?‎ ‎ A. One B. Two C. Three D.

Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like cheap food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons （理由）. In the past, people usually went to diners for these reasons. Today many people still go to diners for the same reasons. ‎ A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t really a diner. It was only a simple （简单的）food cart（大车）. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts sold meal. The meal was a sandwich or eggs. In 1887, Samuel Messer Jones built the first diner big enough to allow people to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with tables and chairs, and people sat down while they ate. Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. Diners changed in other ways, too. The old menu （菜单）became bigger. Diners soon became permanent （永久性的）buildings. ‎ Modern diners look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are buildings with large windows. People can eat all three meals in them. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner keeps an American tradition （传统）, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. ‎ ‎54. What does the word “diner” mean in the passage? ‎ A. An important meal. B. A person who often eats out. ‎ C. A kind of fast food. D. A place where people eat meals. ‎ ‎55. People go to diners because _______. ‎ A. diners offer fast and cheap food B. diners have a long history ‎ C. they don’t like to cook themselves D. they can find a diner easily ‎ ‎56.

He had been attacked （攻击）by a sick dog that had rabies （狂犬病）, a deadly disease. His doctor tried to help him, but there was no cure （治疗方法）for rabies at that time. The doctor told Joseph’s parents that perhaps there was one man who could save Joseph’s life. His name was Louis Pasteur. ‎ When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he was very interested in medicine, so he spent many hours every day with the chemist who lived in his small town.
