Mum pointed to a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to have a seat. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop(拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, Very dirty floors. Yes. Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them, the nurse said. She looked at mum strangely and said, But arent you working late? Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until I couldnt see her and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book. After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She rapidly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said Thank you.

When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometres wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north wont escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldnt survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?第 3 页 共 7 页24、 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the authors description of the disaster in 2094? AThe whole world becomes extremely cold. BAll the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed. CThe whole mankind becomes extinct. DThe visit of the comet results in wars.25、 Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? ABecause they could only live in the warm climate. BBecause they once dominated the Earth. CBecause their extinction indicates future disasters. DBecause dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.26、 In writing the passage, the author intends to _. Agive an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future Bprove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed Ctell the historical development of the Earth Dwarn of a possible disaster in the futureText 3It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; .how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.27、 It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to _. Ahow much education one has received Bwhether one is single or married Chow old ones children are Dwhere one lives28、 The underlined word proper in the second paragraph means _. Asmall Bbig Cright Dwrong29、 After a lot of work, the artist thought that he had paid the government _. Aless tax than he should have Bmore tax than he should have Cas much tax as usual Djust enough tax30、 Why did the tax-collector send a letter to the artist? ATo send him a new tax form. BTo return the money over-paid. CTo remind him of paying the tax. DTo explain the rules of tax-paying.第二节第二节 补全文章补全文章根据短文内容，从短文后的选项后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. 31 The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to tae on a long train journey. Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension 第 4 页 共 7 页level. If youre at the beginners level, there are two options: reading a childrens book or reading a book that youve read in Chinese translation. 32 If youre at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options. 33 When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend whos interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. 34 Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by U.S. writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, U.S. writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. 35 Happy reading! AIf you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful. BThe most important thing is to pick a book that youre really interested in. CYou may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family. DYou should just find a topic or author youre interested in, and the rest will go from there. EYou can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail FInstead, theyre a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. GThis will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since youre already familiar with the story.第三部分第三部分 英语知识运用英语知识运用第一节第一节 完型填空完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。It was Clarks first visit to London Underground Railway.
