Here is one of the most popular tricks to show you how amazing math can be. Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills. To play the trick, your friend needs to know how to add numbers and do subtraction (减法). Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone. Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number with three different digits (数位). Tell him not to show you the number. Make sure the three digits cannot be the same. For example, he could pick 481. Next, let your friend write down the number backwards. For example, 481 backwards is 184. After that, make it into a subtraction problem. Now your friend has two numbers. Get him to subtract the smaller one from the larger one. In our example, the result should be 481-184=297. If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning. Next step, reverse this number as well. Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again. If he added the zero at the beginning, remind him to include it as part of the number. For example, the reverse of 297 is 792. Here comes the most exciting part. As the final calculation, get your friend to add the last two numbers and write down the result. In our example, 792+297=1089. Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down. Show others the piece of paper with the 1089 you’ve written down earlier. In the trick, the last number will always be 1089. If your friend has a different answer, he did not follow instructions, or he made a mistake. 26. To play the trick, how many steps should you follow? A 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8. 27. If your friend got “99” after doing the subtraction, what did he need to do? A. Go on with the other steps. B. Change the number into 099. C. Tell others the number he got. D. Choose another number to start again. 28. What does the underlined part “reverse this number” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. Get the number subtracted. B. Turn the number upside down. C. Write down the number backwards. D. Change the order of the number as you like. 29. What can we learn about the trick from the passage? A. Anyone can play the trick. B. The final number will always be 1089. C. It is the most popular trick. D. The numbers should be reversed three times. （B） Six Hours Free Parking If you spend $100 or more in our stores you will receive six hours of free parking.

The cold wind brought pink to her face. And she finished all of her food each evening. She was much healthier. After dinner, she liked sitting near the fire and talking to Martha. “Why does Mr. Craven hate the locked garden?” Mary asked once. “It was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. She looked after the flowers together with Mr. Craven. No gardeners were allowed in.” “But what happened?” Mary asked. “There was an old tree in the garden with a branch like a seat, Mrs. Craven often sat there, reading and talking. One day, the branch broke and she fell down. She was badly hurt and died soon. Mr. Craven locked the garden and never talked about it.” Mary seldom felt sorry for anyone, but now she understood how sad her uncle must be. The wind roared around the house, making a big noise. Mary listened, and through the noise she thought that she heard a child crying. “Can you hear someone crying?” she asked Martha. Martha seemed pretty nervous. “No,” she answered. “It’s only the wind or the servant (仆人) who works in the kitchen. She’s got a toothache. Perhaps she’s crying. I’m going to check if she needs any help.” After the words, Martha left the room quickly. When Martha left her alone, Mary decided to explore the house. She went quietly along corridors (走廊) and up and down stairs. In the silence of the house she heard again the sound of a child crying. She stopped to listen at a door, but then another door opened and Mrs. Medlock came out, “What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “Get back to your room at once.” —Adapted from The Secret Garden 33. Why did Mr. Craven hate the locked garden? A. Because he hated gardening. B. Because Mrs. Craven died there after a fall. C. Because he wanted to keep the gardeners away. D. Because it was Mrs. Craven’s garden and she loved it. 34. What is the correct order of events in the passage? ①Mary asked Martha about the locked garden. ②Martha left to check the kitchen servant. ③Martha explained Mrs. Craven’s accident. ④Mary heard a child crying and asked Martha. ⑤Mary decided to explore the house. ⑥Mrs. Medlock found Mary and sent her back. A. ①→⑤→②→③→④→⑥ B. ①→③→②→⑤→④→⑥ C. ①→⑤→③→④→②→⑥ D. ①→③→④→②→⑤→⑥ 35. Which sentence has the same meaning of “roared” as that in Paragraph 7? A. The cat roared happily while chasing a ball of yarn. B. The audience roared with laughter during the comedy show. C. The engine roared loudly as the car went fast down the road. D. The teacher roared instructions to the students in a calm voice. 36. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Mary’s Healthy New Life B. The Puzzle of the Locked Garden C. A Child’s Cry in the Night D. Mr. Craven and Mrs. Craven’s Story （D） One day you pick up your phone for a video call with a friend. Not only can you see his face and hear his voice, but you can also smell the cookies he has just baked. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but could it actually happen? Smells are created by tiny particles called molecules (分子) that float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends messages to your brain, which recognizes the smell. So, could your phone send smell molecules to you so that you know what it is? Think about how your phone screen works. It doesn’t have every color in the world stored inside it. Instead, it uses just three colors to create a new one. Now imagine something for smells. Scientists are working on a new technology. It uses small cartridges (盒；匣), and each one has a special smell inside. Just like a screen mixes red, green, and blue light to make different colors, these smell cartridges can mix to create new smells. Pictures on your phone are made from digital codes (代码) that control the colors. In the same way, smells can also be made by mixing these smell cartridges using codes. When you receive a smell code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different smells from the cartridges to create the smell you want. This mix would then come out through a small hole on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With a few cartridges, your phone could create a large number of smells. Creating such a phone faces more challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells by using a few cartridges. And phones will also need to sense smells near them and change those into digital codes, so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them be safe to breathe. Even though we’re not there yet, maybe one day you’ll be able to not only see and hear your friend’s birthday party over the phone, but also smell the candles they blew out. 37. By mentioning how phone screens work in Paragraph 3, the writer tries to_______. A. compare technologies used in showing colors and sending codes B. explain the real possibility of making phones send smells C. show that it is easier to show colors on the screen D. introduce the powerful function of future phones 38. Which of the following correctly describes “cartridges”? A. Three cartridges are needed to make different smells. B. Cartridges are able to sense smells around the phones. C. Cartridges create smells according to the digital smell codes. D. Cartridges play the most important role in making smell phones. 39. Which of the following things CANNOT help people to smell with the phone? A. Screens. B. A hole. C. Chemicals. D. Cartridges. 40. What can we infer from the passage? A. Smell phones send cartridges to our nose to make us smell. B. Molecules are not useful when creating digital smells. C. Only in science fiction movies can we see people use smell phones. D. A powerful system needs to be developed to make smell phones a reality. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. ___41___ In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time? Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to do experiments with electricity. ___42___ When two places were connected with a wire, people in those places could hear each other talk. In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill.

They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. ___44___ Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent (专利) on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him. In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. ___45___ A. He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables. B. However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea. C. Unluckily, only a few people attended this talk. D. He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor. E.

Besides, computers also provide a good way to relax and broaden their horizons through various online resources. However, 40% of the students are against it. They argue that some students easily get addicted to playing computer games, which wastes valuable time. Also, staring at the screen for too long may harm their eyesight. In my opinion, computers are useful tools if we use them properly. We should avoid playing games too much and use computers to study instead. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
