A

It was a hot afternoon.I had a quarrel with the airport staff and then was asked to have a drug test.I missed the flight home later because of bad weather.Now my flight home was full and running late.I felt sorry and unlucky.

At that moment，I noticed a 5­year­old boy standing by his mother watching me.He left his mother and slowly walked towards me.“Great!”I thought sadly，“Now I have to take care of a 5­year­old child.My day is now complete.”

As he came closer，I found it was my hat that he was after.I wanted to tell him not to touch my things，but I was curious(好奇的)to know what he would do with my hat.With wide eyes，he gently touched my hat.He looked up at me，smiling，but saying nothing.I asked him if he wanted to wear my hat，he excitedly nodded，still smiling.I placed my hat on his head，but it fell down around his ears.He didn’t mind and held it up with both hands.He ran to show his mother，then back to me，still smiling.With much respect，he slowly took off my hat with both hands and gave it to me.

I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card.Holding the card carefully with both hands，he looked up at me and said，“Mister，you sure are lucky.”“Yes，I sure am，”I said.I admired the wisdom(智慧)of a 5­year­old boy，as I got the last seat on that flight home.

A.Because he loved the little boy very much.

B.Because he wanted to know what the boy would do with it.

B

On Saturday nights，A.J.Coston doesn’t get a lot of sleep.Usually three or four times a night，a loud bell rings，a red light goes off，and he has to jump out of his bed.That’s because he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter(消防员)with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia.During the week，he lives at home with his mom，dad and sister and does his main job which is to go to high school.

“I have always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by，”he says.“One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.”He was only 16，but he got it.

Fighting fires is dangerous work.Firefighters never stop practicing the skills because they need to stay safe.Once Coston learned those skills，he was allowed to work inside burning buildings.

“Teamwork is most important，”he says.“It’s the whole team that puts the fire out.”

Firefighters feel great about helping people.“My most unbelievable call was probably the time four kids were struck by lightning，”says Coston.He will be off to college next fall，building on his dream job.“I’ll get my degree in emergency(紧急情况)medical care，and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while.I want to be a flight doctor on a helicopter in the end，but I will never forget the days as a firefighter.These are my unforgettable experiences，”he says.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has won her battle to prevent the further publication(出版)of a photograph of her son.

“We hope to give our children a normal family life.We really thank the court for giving our children protection(保护)from unwanted photography;this ruling will make a difference to their lives，”said J.K.Rowling.

Anthony Clarke，one of the judges hearing the case(案件)，said the child of a famous parent should have the same rights as that of “ordinary” parents.“Parents who are not in the public eye can surely expect not to have photographs of their child published in the media(媒体)，and so should a famous parent，”he said in the judgment.

The photographs were taken on November 8,2004 in Edinburgh while David，then aged under two，was being pushed in a buggy by his parents.

They were published in a Sunday Express magazine，causing Rowling,42，and her husband to sue Sunday Express and the photo agency Big Pictures and try to block further publication.

Keith Schilling of Schilling’s Law Firm says，“This case makes a law of privacy(隐私)for children in those cases where the parents wish to protect their children from unwanted photography.I am sure that most of the media will welcome it.”

Big Pictures will have to pay the costs of the case，expected to be hundreds of thousands of pounds.

44.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.J.K. Rowling wins privacy case

B.J.K. Rowling and her son

C.J.K. Rowling’s latest news

D.The importance of privacy

答案　A

解析　主旨大意题。通读全文，可知本文是一篇关于J.K.Rowling赢得官司的新闻报道，选项A概括了全文，又一目了然，故选A项作文章的标题最合适。

45.What J.K. Rowling did shows that________.

A.she is famous all over the world

B.she wants to give her son a normal family life

C.she is tired of being famous

D.she is not a friendly woman

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。根据J.K. Rowling自己所说的“We hope to give our children a normal family life.”可知她这么做，主要是为了保证儿子可以过正常的家庭生活。

46.What does the underlined word “block” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A.Improve.    B.Refuse.        C.Prevent.     D.Close.

答案　C

解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段的“to prevent the further publication”可知J.K. Rowling是想尽力阻止媒体再发她儿子的照片。

47.The costs of the case will be paid by________.

A.Sunday Express   B.Big Pictures     C.both A and B     D.J.K. Rowling

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Big Pictures will have to pay the costs of the case，expected to be hundreds of thousands of pounds.”可知B项正确。

Do you have any places to visit during this fall?How about the following two places?

Tulum，Mexico

Why You Should Go：Tulum is about an hour and a half south of Cancun，down the Riviera Maya of Mexico.The beaches there have not been developed yet.

Where to Sleep：The most common type of houses in Tulum are small ones with no frills(不实用的装饰)on or near the beach;you’ll like the ocean wind，as the small houses usually don’t have air conditioners.Hemingway has waterfront(滨水区的)small houses with gardens.

Where to Eat：You can probably eat at your hotel;the owners often cook.You can also take a taxi into the center of the city Tulum and eat at Carlos’n Charlie’s，which offers live music.

Budapest，Hungary

Why You Should Go：Budapest is less expensive and less explored than other Western European capitals.It has the beautiful Buda Castle，and the Danube River divides the city Buda from Pest.

Where to Sleep：The Opera House and museums are in central Pest，but staying in Buda can be cheaper.The Hotel Astra (doubles from $144) is in central Buda.Vadvirag Panzio (doubles from $81) is very cheap in nearby Buda Hills，but you’ll have to take a bus into town.

Where to Eat：Have coffee at the popular Ruszwurm.For dinner，try the traditional Tabani Terasz.“It’s below scenic Castle Hill and is still unknown to most tourists，”says Ben Curtis，a guide from Rick Steves’ tour company，Europe Through the Back Door.

48.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell people something about two famous places of interest.

B.To explain to people why they should go to Tulum and Budapest.

C.To attract people to visit Tulum and Budapest.

D.To tell people what they should do when visiting Tulum and Budapest.

答案　C

解析　作者意图题。本文是一篇向游客推荐旅游景点的文章，由此可推断其写作目的是吸引游客去所推荐的景点游玩。

49.The underlined word “Hemingway”in the passage most probably refers to________.

A.a famous writer    B.a hotel      C.a place of interest  D.a small house

答案　B

解析　理解推断题。根据这一部分的黑体字Where to Sleep以及划线单词后面的“has waterfront small houses with gardens”可推断其最有可能是一家供游客住宿的饭店。

50.If six people book three double rooms in the Hotel Astra，they all together will pay________for each night at least.

A.$144              B.$288      C.$432          D.$576

答案　C

解析　细节理解题。根据“doubles from $144”可知双人房144美元起价，6个人预订了3个房间，因此最少共需要支付432美元。
