阅读A、B、C三篇材料，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

April Fools’ Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and mak ing one feel like a fool. However, the April Fools’ Day of 2010 was quite different for my mom and me.

That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar(横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare(噩梦). I broke my arm.

Jimmy’s dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fools’ Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy’s mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she originally (开始)thought this was just a big prank(恶作剧).

I guess one could compare this to the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. Since I had pulled pranks before, it is no wonder that my mom didn’t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.

A. Because he wanted to play a joke on her.

B. Because he wanted her to go to the hospital to pay the money.

C. Because he wanted to see how deeply she loved her son.

D. Because he wanted to inform her of the accident.

58. What does the underlined sentence “Mom was not buying it” mean?

A . She didn’t believe what Jimmy’s dad said.

B. She would not like to pay the money.

C. She had no preparation for the bad news.

D. She thought her son deserved(应受) it.

59. Why did the writer mention the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”?

A. Because he thought it was his mom’s fault.

B. Because he had a lesson like that.

If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.

Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much i n common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep d oing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.

66. The main idea of the passage is to _______.

A. tell students to keep away from early love

B . give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls

C. tell students how to make friends

D. teach boys how to talk with girls

67. We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.

A. with a good state of mind B. in real friendship C. in public D. in secret

68. If you are a shy person, you can ________.

A. find friends with the same interest and hobby first

B. only have a few friends of the same sex

C. not make friends with the other sex

D. not fall in love with other students easily

69. What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?

A. 波浪 B. 泥潭 C. 圈套 D. 迷惑

70. A person at adolescence is ________.

A. complicated(复杂的)in feelings B. good at making friends with each other

C. old enough to fall in love D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

Pets are a part of people's lives. Some pets are like family. In these days, many people have pets at home and spend a lot of money improving their lives. In fact, in some parts of the world, pets get real VIP treatment (待遇). VIP usually means Very Important People, but here VIP means Very Important Pets!

When you want to give Fido or Kitty a holiday, or when you're going away on business, you can choose from many dog and cat hotels. Some have many different good services(服务) . Dogs can exercise inside or outside, and cats have a large place with something to climb on and play with. The guests get the best food during their stays at these hotels.

There are other special services at these hotels. Imagine you are travellin g and you want to see your pet: The hotel can put a video camera in the pet's room. So you can see your Fido or Kitty on TV.

The hotels usually have good groomers (美容师): They offer baths and the best hair care for the pets. But you need to make an appointment (预约) because these people are usually very busy taking care of pets.

“Hi! What can I do for you?” A young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman but a student like me. I sensed a strange feeling—as if I had met him before. He began patiently showing me each model. With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price. I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile. A few months later, something was wrong with my computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw first was still his smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for me. I was quite grateful to him for his sweet smile and good service.

Spiderman is one of the most famous comic book heroes of all time. He was created by Stan Lee in 1963 and was first introduced to the world in the pages of Marvel comic books.

Spiderman’s story is the story of Peter Parker, a child who lost his parents and lives with his aunt and uncle. Peter is a shy, quiet boy wearing glasses and has few friends. One day, on a high school class trip to a science lab, he gets bitten by a special spider. Soon Peter realizes he has amazing powers: he is as strong and quick as a spider and also has a type of sixth sense. He no longer needs his glasses and he can use his super power to fly through the city streets! Remembering something his Uncle Ben has told him, that “with great power, there must also come great responsibility(责任),” Peter decides to use his powers to fight enemies who do cruel things to people. And so, Spiderman is born.
