Yet on Dec 14, 2012, she, along with 19 other children and six adults, was killed.‎ A man named by the police as Adam Lanza, aged 20, shot and killed his own mother on the morning of that day. Afterwards, he drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown‎, Connecticut, ‎US, and shot and killed 20 children and six women. Finally, he killed himself. The police still do not know why he did that.‎ US President Barack Obama openly cried as he spoke about the killing. He told the parents of the children that “You are not alone in your grief (悲痛). All across this land of yours we have cried with you.”‎ When this kind of shooting has happened recently, people have had special ways of showing their grief. They have lit candles, and left flowers by the scene of the tragedy (悲剧). This is very much the case again. Those who died in Newtown were very young children aged from 5 to10. ‎ The tragedy has raised more questions about gun control in the US. ‎ ‎21. How many people did Adam Lanza kill before he killed himself?‎ ‎ A. 19. B. 27. C. 25. D. 28.‎ ‎22. We can tell from Paragraph 3 that President Obama _________.‎ ‎ A. spoke loudly to show his anger ‎ B. felt angry and wanted the killer to die ‎ C. felt sad and tried to comfort (安慰) the parents ‎ ‎ D. asked the whole country to donate money ‎23. What did the sentence “This is very much the case again” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ ‎ A. This is not a big problem. B. This makes people happy again.‎ ‎ C. This is an unimportant event. D. This happened again.‎ ‎24. What does the writer of this passage really want to express (表达)?‎ ‎ A. Barack Obama felt very sorry about this tragedy. ‎ B. The questions about gun control should be paid attention to.‎ ‎ C. All the people should not use guns in the USA. ‎ ‎ D. Young children should be protected.‎ ‎ B Have you ever noticed the black and white bars (条状物) on books? Do you know what they are used for?‎ They are barcodes (条形码) used in most products. If you go to a supermarket, you can see almost every product with a barcode on it. Barcodes contain (包括) information about the products, such as names and production date. It’s an easy and convenient way to keep track of the products. Just scan (扫描) the bars with a barcode reader and everything is clear.‎ The first use of a barcode in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974. Beyond supermarkets, barcodes are needed everywhere: for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life will be rather hard without barcodes. Most things would get lost in the post.‎ Barcodes change as well. Barcodes in the past were 1-D (one-dimensional), but now there are 2-D (二维码), such as QR (正方形点状码) has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums, cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of barcodes.‎ If you find these barcode things boring, a barcode building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg‎, ‎Russia, there are games too. Barcode Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan barcodes and find the monsters (怪物)! ‎ ‎25. The black and white bars on books are called __________. ‎ ‎ A. QRs B. products C. barcodes D. monsters ‎26. Where do we use a barcode? ‎ ‎ A. At supermarkets. B. At the train station. ‎ ‎ C. In the post. D. A, B and C.‎ ‎27. According to the passage, which one is true?‎ ‎ A. Just scan the barcodes with our eyes and everything is clear.‎ ‎ B. Most of our things would get lost in the post if we use barcodes. ‎ ‎ C. Life will be very easy with barcodes.‎ ‎ D. All of the products have barcodes.‎ ‎28. What’s the best title of this passage? ‎ ‎ A. We Can Live Without Barcodes ‎ B. Small Barcodes Make a Big Difference C. Science Develops Too Fast D. You Must Have Your Own Barcode C ‎ In all fine weather, my father and I used to climb the mountain near our house. Walking together, we used to talk a lot. From our conversations, I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” ‎ Without the mountain climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got so much from mountain climbing. It gave me time to have talks with my father in souls (灵魂) and it helped develop my patience as well.‎ Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so hard for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. Time passed, and then both of my legs hurt. I really wanted to give up. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see its beauty before you reach the top. Only there at the top, you can see all the nice things, just like in life.” ‎ At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, as clear as crystal (水晶). ‎ ‎29. The father helped most with the writer’s ____.‎ A. health B. personality C. subjects D. dream ‎30. The writer started climbing mountains with his father __________________.‎ ‎ A. when he was quite young B. after he went to school.‎ C. while he was a student. D. after he understood his father’s words.‎ ‎31. How did the writer feel when both his legs hurt?‎ ‎ A. Pleased. B. Amused. C. Afraid. D. Annoyed.‎ ‎32. A great success needs _______________________.‎ A. goals, hard work, patience and confidence ‎ B. conversations between father and son ‎ C. mountain-climbing D. clear crystals ‎ D How are you? I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your neighbour, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so.‎ You'd love our school library, Grandma. There are so many books on all kinds of subjects. The other day I found a book about engineering. I couldn't really understand it but I hope to learn more about this topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I think I'll tell you about them.‎ I study biology. It is a very interesting subject. I'm learning; all about the human-body, where everything is and what it does. Did you know that we have a kissing muscle? It's called 'orbicularis' and it's a circle muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It’s so interesting! ‎ Another new subject is religion (宗教). I didn't think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to hear how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the world, not only Asia. ‎ My other new subject is Spanish. It's really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful for me in the future, if I want to travel around the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I've learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I've always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish it would be really useful.‎ Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn't it? I'll come to visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks' time. I'll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.‎ Lots of love,Sara ‎33. From the letter we can know that Grandma's leg may be ______.‎ ‎ A. improving B.lost C.getting worse D.hurt ‎34. The three new subjects for the writer this term are ______.‎ ‎ A.engineering, biology and Spanish B. engineering, biology and Religion ‎ C. Spanish, biology and religion D.Spanish, engineering and religion ‎35. Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Sara knows little about engineering.‎ ‎ B Sara thinks Spanish is useful but not easy to learn. ‎ ‎ C. Grandma probably doesn't like reading books very much.‎ ‎ D. The subjects Sara learns are different from the ones her grandma did.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Issac Newton was born in 1642 on Christmas Day.
