Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER  RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary,aged 26,professional boxer. was today found guilty of the murder of Albert  Cumming , aged 32, laborer ,last July. The jury (陪審團(tuán))reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out.It was, said the judge,a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested,Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour .Asked if he had anything to say , Cleary answered，“Just don't tell my mother.”

      "It happened over three years ago, " Paddy said helplessly.  No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. "Just don't tell my mother, "said Fee numbly. "And no one did!Oh. God! My poor, poor Frank!" 

     Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. 'Fee, dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him. "

     She half-rose before sinking back. Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can't go ."  she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there.  "It would kill him to see me. I know him so well -- his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants. We've got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? "

     Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank; for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune ,always stood between Fee and himself.  He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.Every time it looked as if there might be happenings for Fee . Frank took it away.  But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossibile to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

     So he said, " Well,  Fee,  we won't go . But we must make sure he is taken care of.  How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?

     The eyes didn't liven ,but a faint pink stole into her cheeks  " Yes.  Paddy, do that . Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out .Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know" 

1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.

       B. The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later

       C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.

Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.   1   

Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

    For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are all not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now.   2  Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.   3 

Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings call disagree without things getting ugly.

      4  How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping—just like their teenagers!

    What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?   5  You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.

    Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

       A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

      B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.

C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.

D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.

E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.

F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

G．You may consider seeking outside help.

The band that wasn’t

Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous.      1    

Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments.      2      Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!

     3      It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.

     4      So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music.     5     . The band broke up about 1970, but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their formal time as a real band.

A. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.

B. The Monkees’ television show stayed on the air for years after the group broke up. .

C. However, there was one band that started in a different way.

D. But just how do people form a band?

E. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash.

F. Most of us probably have our favorite performers, stars or bands, but many of us also want to discover new sounds and rhythms.

G. As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them.

第二節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.

People say them in schools, offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television use them.

How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it. 66 “It grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”

Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example, a person who speaks and reads fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. 67

Moving pictures from before World War II showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. 68

Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many, many times. Finally, everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger area had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. 69

70 One scientist said, "As a child I loved to build rockets. Now I am grown. I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it."

A．he or she makes space travel possible.

B．It’s dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets.

C．Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel.

D．When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs.

E. Have you ever heard of the space travel?

F. But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.

G. Once again, the launch was put off.
