It was Easter 1998, and my family was on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Solomon Islands for my sister’s wedding.

The little ones were restless, unable to sleep for the biting cold. Then at one stop, an old lady came forward from the back of the bus and stopped by our seat. I sat forward to see what she wanted and she 37 out a small knee rug (毯子). My little girl couldn’t wait to 38 for it and pulled it tight around her. The lady said she’d made the rug herself and seeing that we were cold, then she wanted us to use it.

I tried to wake up the children to 40 her rug, but she said, “No, keep it. I can 41 make another one!”

Over the years, that little rug became a 42 to me and to my children of the kindness of strangers. That rug was handmade with the colors carefully chosen. Yet its maker parted with it to keep my family warm for a night. I am forever 43 , not just for the warmth that night, but for the lifelong reminder (提示) of the 44 of people.

Luck has always been my closest friend these past five years. As you already know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly burnt by fire each year.

This hot summer, not far from our house, a forest caught fire. It was in July and a heat wave had been going on for three days. Luck rushed towards the forest because of the burning heat. There was no longer any hope at that moment to wait for Luck to come back. Suddenly, a fireman ran into my house and told me that my dog Luck succeeded in saving four cats that were caught in the fire. According to the fireman, Luck caught the cats, moving them one by one into a safe place.

I ran out of the house and went with the firemen to the forest to pick up the saved cats. When we arrived, Luck was not there. Then we heard the sound of a dog coming from the forest barking (犬吠). I knew it was the sound of my dog Luck. The firemen followed the tracks (踪迹) of the dog until they found him barking loudly by the side of a hurt fireman who was hopelessly lying on the ground and waiting for someone to save him.

Thanks to Luck, four cats and a fireman were saved. That day, I was very proud of Luck for his two heroic actions.

Later I paid a visit to the fireman in his house with my lovely Luck. It was such a memorable scene when the fireman held Luck close to his chest! “One thousand thanks, Luck, for saving my life,” the fireman said.

49. We know from the passage that the fire ______.

A. broke out in July B. was far from the house

C. burnt up the forest D. had been going on for 7 days

B. He was trying to save the fireman.

C. He was happy to see the writer coming.

D. He couldn’t send the cats back to the house.

51. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The importance of protecting animals.

B. The ways to stop a forest fire.

C. The writer’s love for Luck.

Children with autism (孤独症) have difficulty with social skills and communication. They often act in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests.

Autism is more often seen in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying DNA and possible environmental influences.

Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis (确诊) of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age.

“At six months of age, when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated place, the baby’s head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. But that does not mean that the baby is going to have autism. It does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to help their body get stronger. And when the babies strengthen their bodies, they are better able to play with toys and also with people, which will help them have better outcomes.”

By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be very small and their children might be missed during a short health exam.

“It’s important for parents to pay attention to their children’s development, and if they care about a child’s development, they should listen to experts.”

The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin simple things that may help improve their children’s development. For example, they can talk to the children about what they are doing, give opinions when the children show them something, and play simple games that keep the children’s attention.

52. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. How to Confirm a Diagnosis of Autism.

B. Catching the Early Signs of Autism in Babies.

C. Ways to Help Children with Autism to Get Better.

D. Children with Autism with Difficulty in Communication.

53. What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A. Landa tried to find differences in babies’ development earlier.

B. Landa has found ways to confirm a diagnosis of autism.

C. Doctors led a new study to confirm a diagnosis of autism.

D. Doctors helped babies with autism develop without difference.

54. When a baby with signs of autism is 14 months old, he or she may ______.

A. nod the head back behind the shoulders

B. have difficulty raising his or her head

C. dislike to communicate with others

D. like reaching out to other people

D

S cientists have found that migrating (迁徙) birds fly not just in groups all the time, but in “V” formation and they have also tried to find out what good points birds get from this “V” formation. Now, a research group from the University of London may have found the answer – migrating birds fly in a “V” to save energy, according to a study published in the journal Nature.

When a bird flaps (拍打 ) its wings, it makes the air move in different directions. Scientists found in the study that the air creates an upward-moving wave at the tips of the wings (翼尖), which means that if a bird flies around the wingtips of another bird, it can get some help from the rising air and then they can use less energy to stay in the air.

But there is a small problem – the lead bird gets no lift advantage and can easily get tired. This is why a group of migrating birds change their leaders from time to time, according to The New York Times.

Scientists were also surprised to see that migrating birds timed their wing beats and changed their places in a very simple way to make the most of the lifting effect while avoiding areas where the air moved downward.

“They’re able to sense what’s going on from the bird in front, where this ‘good air’ is coming from and how to help themselves perfectly in it,” lead researcher Steven Portugal told BBC.

In fact, the “V” formation has long been thought to help birds fly more efficiently (有效地) without wasting too much energy. Jet fighters (战斗机) were also found to be able to reduce their energy use by up to 18% by staying near the wingtips of other Jet fighters. Both of these findings led scientists to wonder that the “V” formation had an efficiency purpose, but until now they still don’t have enough facts to show what they are thinking about is really true.

“For scientists, the new study provides an insight into an interesting natural thing. But it could mean even more for airplane companies – helping them understand how they can imitate that with their plane formations to save energy,” said Portugal.

55. According to the new study, when birds migrate, ______.

A. they don’t often change their lead birds

B. they fly in “V” formation to make best use of lift

C. they fly in “V” formation to protect the birds behind

D. the air around them makes it hard for the lead bird to fly fast

56. What is the importance of t he new study according to the article?

A. It suggests that the “V” formation can help planes fly faster.

B. It has led scientists to study more about different kinds of birds.

C. It might help airplane companies to think of ways to save energy.

D. It shows that the jet fighters form the best shape of a “V” formation.

57. The underlined word “imitate” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.

A. use B. change C. learn D. copy

58. The writer writes the passage to ______.

A. tell how migrating birds find their ways

B. explain how birds get help from migration

C. introduce some uses of migrating birds’ “V” formation

D. report new findings about migrating birds’ “V” formation

八、阅读与表达(共10分，每小题2分)

阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。

Hiking (徒步行走) in the countryside is one of life’s simple and cheap pleasures. But is it safe? Sport writer Mark Waters considers the dangers.

Imagine the following…

One day, Tom decided to take up hiking. Before going, he quickly looked at a map and decided that he could easily walk from the bus stop at Pak Tam Chung to the beach at Dai Long Wan.

After walking for hours and hours under the hot sun, Tom started to feel sick. He reached for his water but found that the bottle was empty. Then he smelt smoke and saw a fire. He called 999. However, he could not tell them where he was because he did not have a map.

Think about it …

Put yourself in Tom’s shoes. How could you stay away from the risks? One way is to learn the following common types of danger well.

1. Getting lost

Bad weather is one of the reasons why some walkers get lost. However, the most common one is not having enough knowledge of the hiking route (路线). Always remember to bring a map and don’t be too confident. Always choose a route that is right for you.

2. Heat stroke (中暑)

The summer in Hong Kong is very hot and wet. Many hikers forget this and walk for too long in the midday heat. They become hot and feel weak. Don’t forget it is necessary to drink 100 to 200 ml of water every 15 to 20 minutes.

3. Accident

Some of Hong Kong’s paths are very dangerous and it is not unknown for hikers to fall. Never walk alone and always bring a map and a mobile phone with you.

4. Hill fire

Every year, over 10,000 hill fires take place in Hong Kong, hurting more than 600 people. Never light fires unless you are allowed to and, if you see a hill fire, stay cool, walk away and report it quickly.

64. In Mark’s opinion, is hiking in the countryside safe or dangerous?

65. Why couldn’t Tom tell the police where he was?

66. What is the most common reason for people getting lost?

67. What will you do if you see a hill fire according to the passage?

68. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?
