2．I had the meanest mother in the whole world．While other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have cereal，eggs or toast．When others had cokes and candy for lunch，I had to eat a sandwich．As you can guess，my supper was different from the other kids'also．But at least，I wasn't alone in my sufferings．My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did．
    My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times．You'd think we were on a chain gang．She had to know who our friends were and where we were going．She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour，that we be gone one hour or less-not one hour and one minute．
    We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath everyday．The other kids always wore their clothes for days．We reached the height of insults because she made our clothes herself，just to save money．
    The worst is yet to come．We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning．We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends．So while they slept---my mother actually had the nerve to break the Child Labor Law．She made us work．We had to wash dishe s，make beds，learn to cook and all sorts of cruel things．I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us．
    Through the years，things didn't improve a bit．We could not lie in bed，"sick"like our friends did，and miss school．Our marks in school had to be up to par．Our friends'report cards had beautiful colors on them，black for passing，red for failing．My mother，being as different as she was，would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks．
    As the years rolled by，first one and then the other of us was put to shame．We were graduated from high school．With our mother behind us，talking，hitting and demanding respect，none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out．
    My mother was a complete failure as a mother．Out of four children，a couple of us attained some higher education．None of us have ever been arrested or divorced．Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country．She forced us to grow up into God-fearing，educated，honest adults．Using this as a background，I am now trying to raise my three children．I am filled with pride when my children call me mean．Why？Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world．
21．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．The author is not happy to have such a mean mother．
B．The author's mother broke the Child Labor Law to make money．
C．The author's mother failed to educate her children to be honest adults
D．The author is strict with her children．
22．Why couldn't the author eat candy for breakfast？C
A．Because she preferred cereal，egg s or toast to candy．
B．Because her mother couldn't afford for candy．
C．Because her mother thought it not good to eat candy for breakfast．
D．Because her mother had to gave candy to the author's sister and two brothers．

C．she was teaching her children to live by themselves．
D．she had no time to do housework．

13．Foxes and farmers have never got on well．These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals．They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them．
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population．Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside，with a group of specially trained dogs，followed by men and women riding horses．When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it．
People who take part in hunting think of as a sport； they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers，and follow strict codes of behavior．But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive，so most hunters are wealthy．
It is estimated that up to 100，000 people watch or take part in fox hunting．But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting，because they think it is cruel，has risen sharply．Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs （阻攔者）．Sometimes these incidents lead to violence，but mostly saboteurs attempt to stop the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell，which the dogs follow．
Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself．But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport．A Labor Party Member of the Parliament（議會），Mike Foster，is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal．If the law is passed，wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain．
31．Why are foxes considered as harmful animals？D
A．Because they can't get on well with farmers．
B．Because they are very cruel．
C．Because they are shot by hunters．
D．Because they kill farm animals．
32．British hunters have been hunting foxesA
A．for recreation                                     
B．for the benefit of the farmers
C．to limit the fox population                            
D．to show off their wealth
33．How do fox hunting saboteurs often prevent foxes being hunted？B
A．By means of violence
B．By confusing the fox hunters．
C．By taking illegal action
D．By making laws．
34．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A
A．Only the rich can be regular fox hunters．
B．Hunters kill foxes by shooting or poisoning them．
C．Hunting foxes has some rules to follow．
D．More and more British people object to fox hunting．
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？D
A．Mike Foster is a firm supporter of fox hunting．
B．Fox hunters and saboteurs seldom have conflicts nowadays．
C．The law to ban hunting wild animals will be passed in Britain this year．
D．As a sport，fox hunting may disappear in Britain in the future．

10．When I was six years old，my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book．I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number．When I couldn't find it，I just dialed seven numbers．When someone answered，I'd ask，"Is that Michael Jordan？"Obviously，I always had the wrong number．
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center．It was very big．I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building．The recreation center had a special smell in it，sort of like hot rubber．I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard．The atmosphere on the court was carefree．Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot．We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant．
I got good at it，and my confidence grew．I played it all the time until the sixth grade．As soon as junior high school came，I stopped playing basketball and focused on school．When senior high school started，I tried out for the school team and made it．We worked hard．Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own．Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power，because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball．If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups，we could practice dribbling （運球） and shooting more．It's just us，the ball，the court and the net．But don't take my word for it．See for yourself．After all，I'm just one kid playing the game．

She thought he had said"Jesse"，and he had a new name．
Owens ran his first race at age 13-After high school，he went to Ohio State University．He had to work part time so as to pay for his education．As a second year student，in the Big Ten games in 1935，he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later．
A week before the Big Ten meet，Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs．His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week，and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet．He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try，event by event．He did try，and the results are in the record book．

7．Social Networking and Its Effect
Social networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives．Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world．Nowadays，a reputation online is more important．Some are even finding a way to make a living online．Social media seems to have quite the impact，especially on teenagers．
Years ago，before social networking existed，friends would go out and have a good time，and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people．Today，popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr．Tumblr has its own way of creating"celebrities"．Users are considered"Tumblr famous"if they have a high number of followers．Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face．Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore； it is just about being known for absolutely nothing．
Social networking has its positives，considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds．Although this is extremely useful，it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations．People are attacked over the Internet，but do not say a word to each other in person．Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be．Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people，which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen．Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction．
Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages．Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch．Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life，but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through social media．Social networking makes things easier，but that does not always mean that it makes things better．
Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have．They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people，keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world．Social media has ruined how life should be：fun，adventurous and exciting．Instead，it has turned most teenagers into anti-social couch potatoes．There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world．
Title：Social Networking and Its Effect

IntroductionOur daily lives are （71）closely/tightly connected to social networking，which has great impact in different aspects
Populairty online●For high school students today，popularity is （72）determined/decided by the number of followers they have on Twitter or Tumblr

8．Disease，poverty，hate，love-Charles Dickens'stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age．Two hundred years on，his stories still speak volumes（有意義）across the world，proving that Dickens'legacy（遺產）was far greater than just"great literature"
     February 7 marks the 20th anniversary of the writer's birthday．To mark this date，BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modem world．Let's take a look at two of them．
A white Christmas
     Dickens is described  as"the man who invented Christmas"-not the religious festival，but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today．In the early 19th century，Christmas was barely worth mentioning，according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt．The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day-unthinkable in the West nowadays，when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off．
  Many people believe that Dickens'popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come．In his classic novel，A Christmas Carol，he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas，but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-home enjoyments，affections and hopes．
    In his biography of Dickens，Peter Ackroyd wrote："Dickens Can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modem idea of Christmas．"
"Dickensian"poverty
      Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian（the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from l837 to 1901）London．
He helped popularize the term"red tape"to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作風）in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and  poorer members of society．
"Dickensian"has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty．In 2009，when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation（剝奪權利）in some areas of Britain，she did not use words like"terrible"or"horrific"，but rather described it as"life mirroring the times of Dickens"．

60．What is the main idea of the article？B
  A．An introduction to Charles Dickens'classic novels．
  B．Charles dickens'impact on the world．
  C．Charles Dickens'amazing characters．
  D．Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world．
61．Why is Dickens called"the man who invented Christmas"？B
  A．Because he created the religious festival．
  B．Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas．
  C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations． 
  D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas．
62．According to the article，the phrase"red tape"refers toD．
  A．rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
  B．a situation in which poor members of society are hurt．
  C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
  D．pointlessly time-consuming official procedures．
