We didn't have a bathroom. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to go to school on foot with my little sister. It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was a bus, but we didn't have money. And we had to go to bed at seven o'clock every night. We couldn't watch TV because there wasn't any. On Sundays we had to go to church three times __ morning, afternoon and evening. And we couldn't play outside on Sundays. But it wasn't all bad. We had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn't have to worry about us. There weren't so many cars on the roads then, so the streets were safe to play in. And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren't able to buy all those things in the shops today. Life was difficult, but it was simple and people were happier. I don't think I'd like to be young today. 二、单项填空（本大题15小题．每题1.0分，共15.0分。阅读下面的句子和对话，从[A] 、[B]、[C]三个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。） 第1题 —I wonder if I can get a raise in salary. —You have been paid enough, ______ do you want?

Then he became the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. Before long, he was known as one of the greatest boxers in sports history. Once Ali said when he was a champion he was more famous than the president of the United States or the head of any other country in the world. The word "super" means something that is good, and of course, a star is a person who is famous. So people use "superstar" to describe the top people in sports, films or music.

Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear "of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to" throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing, and chances are you'll have travelled through a windshield or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are" thrown clear". Myth Number Two: Safety belts" trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious for not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them. Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at a speed of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). Truth: When two cars travelling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters. What is the advice given in the text? A Never drive faster than 30 mph. B Try your best to save yourself in a car accident. C Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving. D Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从整篇文章可以看出都在说不带安全带，行车时可能出现的各种问题，所以告诫司机开车时一定不要忘记带好安全带。故本题答案为C。 第7题 Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you are dead"? A He was driving at great speed. B He was running across the street. C He didn't have his safety belt on. D He didn't take his medicine on time. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章第二段可以得出。故本题答案为C。 第8题 According to the text, to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you________. A may be knocked down by other cars B may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car C may find it impossible to get away from the seat D may get caught in the car door 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章第四、五段得知。故本题答案为B。 第9题 The reason "Father was in a hurry to get home" was that he________. A wasn't feeling very well B hated to drive in the dark C wanted to take some exercise D didn't want to be caught by the police 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章第二、三段得知。故本题答案为C。 第10题 To fight a noise by making more noise sounds strange ,but that's exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries. Car makers' research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore ,by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle(周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems(系统)both inside and outside the cars. Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars. The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly because ____________. A it is still being tried out B drivers still have their doubts C it increases the cost of car production D carmakers are not sure if it is necessary 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.7分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章最后一段最后一句：But the carmakers haven't decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars．得知。故本题答案为C。 第11题 Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works? A By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction. B By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.

The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, because the center of the sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere , photosphere, convection and the sun has no solid surface, so it is difficult to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun starts. The sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes out ward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shot out glare of the sun's rays. The corona is a bright, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy (纤细的) spikelike rays near the sun's north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the sun's equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than two million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the sun's corona rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible. The purpose of the "special instruments" mentioned in the third paragraph_________. A magnify the image of the sun B block out the sun's intense light C measure the amount of energy emitted by the sun D photograph the sun 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章第三段最后一句：At any other time，the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shot out glare of the sun's rays．得知。故本题答案为B。 第14题 It can be inferred from the passage that a clear view of the sun's outer layer is usually vented by_______. A the sun's rays B an eclipse C lack of light D the great distance 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]通过整篇文章阅读得出。故本题答案为A。 第15题 The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ____________. A how the sun evolved B the structure of the sun C why scientists study the sun D the distance of the sun from the planets 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章第二段首句：Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones．得知。故本题答案为B。 第16题 All the following are parts of the sun's atmosphere except ____________. A the corona B the chromosphere C the photosphere D the core 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章第二段可以知道A、B、C项都是大气的组成部分。故本题答案为D。 第17题 Most people now forget the sinking of the great passenger ship Colossus exactly 60 years ago. The number of people who were actually saved was small, and some of those have died in the years since, so that those who are still alive today can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Then you will easily understand why I have been asked to write about that sad day in 1912. The Colossus, then she hit an iceberg in thick fog in the North Atlantic Ocean , she actually disappeared in less than twenty minutes, taking nearly fifteen hundred people with her. My own life was saved by my youth. Being only a boy of fourteen, I was one of those lucky women and children who, according to custom, were allowed to get away first from the sinking ship. The selfless crew packed some sixty of us into a small boat and lowered it into the angry sea. But during the ship's last minutes more and more passengers, as their last hope of escaping death, threw themselves wildly into the sea and tried to get on aboard our boat, with the result that it finally turned over and we all found ourselves struggling for our lives in the water. But I was strong enough to swim for three hours in the icy water before a passing ship picked me up. The writer was asked to write the story because ____________. A he was on another ship nearby when Colossus hit the iceberg B he was only a boy of fourteen when the accident took place C he was now the only person alive who had seen the ship sinking D he was one of those few passengers who were still alive today 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [解析]从文章最后一句：But I was strong enough to swim for three hours in the icy water before a passing ship picked me up．及首句，都说明作者是那些能够活到今天的仅有的遇难乘客者之一。故本题答案为D。 第18题 This passage was written in ____________.
