阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。
A
“Good evening, everybody!” said the teacher, Donna. “Where is everybody?” That was sort of a daily joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.
“I don’t know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come,” said one student. “Maybe watching TV football tonight.”
“Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there’s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let’s get started, okay? We’re on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we’re studying participles as adjectives. Students are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we’re just going to practice the present participle.
“The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, ‘Grammar is boring’ means that the subject—grammar—causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting,’ we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, ‘The roller coaster is exciting,’ we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing you? Is everyone confused?”
The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
41．What do you think the class is about?
A．Going over homework.   B．English grammar.
C．Football.          D．British culture.
42．We can infer from the first paragraph that___________in summer time.
A．some students are often late for school
B．some students often watch football games with the teacher
C．more students often ask for leave
D．more students often go to school
43．The underlined work “blank” probably means__________.
A．excited     B．interested  C．confused   D．pleased
44．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Donna was experienced in teaching English grammar.
B．Donna made the students practice using the present participle.
C．Donna didn’t use any examples to help the students.
D．Donna made herself understood at last.

Dave needed to prepare for Saturday's fishing trip. He went into his hall closet, where he had more than 20 rods and reels. Nowadays he went fishing twice a year at Big Bear, a huge lake in southern California about 7,000 feet up in the mountains.
California tries to improve the fishing industry by sponsoring（发起）a Free Fishing Day twice a ear, once in June and once in September. That’s enough for Dave. He went mostly because it was a cocial event with a few friends, not so much to catch fish. Even driving up a twisty（弯弯曲曲的）two-lane road was worth the trip. Let alone the big, beautiful houses and trees that lined the shore of the lake.
Preparing was a project in itself. Dace had even created a computer file named Fishing Trip. It was a checklist of 45 things to take to Big Bear. He took two rods, because on Free Fishing Day you were allowed to fish with two rods instead of the usual one rod. He took a sweatshirt, jeans, two pairs of socks, a heavy hooded jacket, winter gloves, and a scarf. He also took flip-flops, shorts, a T-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat, and lightweight raincoat. If you go to Big Bear in June, you’d better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine.
He prepared a couple of magazines to read just in case the fish weren’t biting. He and his friends joked that the fish were always biting- in the spot you just left or the spot you were headed for.
After about an hour and a half; Dave had gathered all the items on his list into a neat pile next to his door. He went to bed knowing that tomorrow’s weather and fishing were unpredictable, but the good time with his friends was a given.
45．Dave went go Big Bear twice a year mainly to_________.
A．fish                      B．meet his friends
C．prepare for his fishing     D．develop a project
46．Why had Dave created a computer file named Fishing Trip?

47．On Free Fishing Day, people going fishing could use_________.

Members of Parliament (MPs) warned that the privacy（隐藏）of thousands of mobile phone users is in danger today because of Google's new tracking system. In a motion（提案）,they also warned that the system offers live tracking of mobiles through a website and called on Google to examine the service.

Here is a passage about learning a foreign language.
Outside of class, the most natural way of finding out if you are making mistakes is from other people’s responses. If the mistakes are too serious, your listeners will be asking you all the time what you mean. If they are not so serious, then people may be asking you whether you said such and such. That will tell you how close you are to speaking “cogently”.
Of course, there are other times when it is important to have errors pointed out. Your class assignments(作业) are probably marked in this way, in which case you need to spend time going over them to take advantage of the individual feedback. In some classes the teacher gets better and better at grammar because she does all the corrections, but the students make slow progress if, when an assignment is returned, they quickly stuff it into their folders without looking.
You are the person who should be connecting your error, even if the marker has signaled them, When you look at them, there are some steps to work through. One distinction that has been made about learners’ language is this. You make mistakes about rules that you already know but you make errors about points you haven’t learned yet. In other words, you can find your own mistakes, but not your errors. First, make sure you understand what you have written or said, or your correction will simply be another stab at the right answer. Next, decide on the best way of practicing the correct form. Would it help you to write out the sentence once more. Can you make up another similar sentence? Then you could test yourself in a few days time to see whether you have remembered the right form, Anyone can get it right immediately after being told. He challenge is to remember it and apply it later.
57．We can learn from the passage that__________in learning a foreign language.
A．making mistakes about rules can always be avoided
B．speaking is the only way to correct mistakes
C．getting and using responses is important
D．errors can be easily corrected
58．How can you know that you are making fewer mistakes when speaking a foreign language?
A．By following the suggestions the writer put forward.
B．By practicing the correct forms.
C．From the teacher’s getting better and better at grammar.
D．From your listeners responses.
59．The writer thinks some students make slow progress because__________.
A．they understand what they have written or said.
B．they have remembered the right form
C．they hardly pay attention to their marked assignments
D．they decide on the best way of practicing the correct form
60．Which of the following might be the most important to work through your mistakes?
A．Keeping the right form in mind and using it later.
B．Writing out the sentence once more.
C．Learning your mistakes by heart.
D．Correcting your mistakes and writing down the teacher’s words.
