Passage One
We often hear people talking about the generation gap. The name is new but the idea is old. The world keeps changing and it has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ, a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”
There has always been a gap between generations, though more people talk about it now. The following shows what Old Mr. Ellis thinks ‘generation gap’ means: young people and their parents don’t understand each other.
“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.
“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the war would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.
“Now I have grandchildren and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They are making people listen to them. I’m proud of their generation.”
16. ‘Generation gap’ most probably means _________.
A. an old name with new meaning

It was the young man’s birthday yesterday. All his friends came at seven in the evening. They drank too much and made a lot of noise. The old man couldn’t fall asleep the whole night.

Passage Three
For anyone who come to Hawaii, the people and the land always offer an endless gift of love and kindness.
What are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.
The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, naturally, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.
Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice? They are volcanoes, of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world’s most active volcano. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.
What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruit and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years and now Hawaii produces over one million tons of sugar a year. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other place in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.
The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. From its earliest days, Hawaii has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians who came to the islands about a thousand years ago believed that a stranger should be welcomed. They offered strangers food and comfort, and thought of them as brothers. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.
26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of _________.
A. one island
B. twenty islands.
C. sixty-four islands.
D. hundreds of islands.
27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?
A. They erupt often.
B. They are growing.
C. They actually made the islands.
D. They are not a part of the islands.
28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world?
A. sugar
B. fruits
C. sugar cane
D. pineapples
29. According to the passage, why are the people in Hawaii the most beautiful thing?
A. Because they had a peaceful history.
B. Because there are 64 different races on the islands.
C. Because they care more for people than anything else.
D. Because they can sleep in the middle of the road if they want.
30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean _________.
A. nations all share the same humanity.
B. humanity has no national boundaries
C. nations in the world all have humanity
D. humanity is more important than nations
Passage Four
All over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing, but most vegetarians are very happy with their choice of diet. They chose such diets for several different reasons.
First, vegetarians have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too little protein but too much food, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol in the human body. High amounts of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low levels of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.
Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions who also do not eat meat.
Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable, and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.
31. According to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for the following reasons EXCEPT _________.
A. they want to stay healthy
B. they are too kind to put the idea of killing animals
C. they live in areas where meat supply is not adequate
D. they should not eat meat due to their religious belief
32. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?
A. Vegetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.
B. Heart disease and cancer are caused by large amounts of protein.
C. There are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who die of cancer.
D. There are less health problems in modern society due to advanced medical care.
33. Which is true about the vegetarians?
A. Vegetarians never eat meat for whatever reasons.
B. There are more vegetarians than meat-eaters in the world.
C. Vegetarians cannot eat meat because of their health problems.
D. Some vegetarians cannot get used to eating meat because of the taste.
34. What does “vulnerable” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Having low level of cholesterol.
B. Having high level of cholesterol.
C. Having weak ability to resist diseases and harms.
D. Having strong ability to resist diseases and harms.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. being a vegetarian may be a very strange thing
B. vegetarians eat meat on some special occasions
C. all vegetarians have reasons for their not eating meat
D. most vegetarians believe that life without meat is happy

My father waved me good bye and the bus set off. The person sitting next to me was a government engineer going to Peshawar to inspect the roads.

The countryside was brown and dry and there were long stretches with no people or villages 77 sight. We had to stop once at some road works, too, which made my traveling companion very 78 .
Most of us were dozing in the afternoon heat when we were 79 by a sudden noise, which sounded like a 80 from a gun.

My 83 , however, reassured me: “Nothing to worry about. Only a 84 tyre. But we shall have to wait 85 he changes the wheel.” My cousin Anwar met me at the bus station. “Well, there you are,” he said. “I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you.”

参考作文
With the economical development of the society, an increasing number of high school students own their own cell phones now.
There is no doubt that it makes it easier for them to communicate with their teachers or classmates. But I don’t think it’s a good idea for high school students to use cell phones in classroom. Since for some students, they are not able to tell right from wrong. They might spend too much time sending messages, listening music or surfing on the internet using the phones. With no doubt, they would spend less time studying accordingly.
So it’s not wise for parents to buy their children cell phones unless they can make sure they will be used properly. (119 words)
