第一节 阅读下面的材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Here are some music festivals that you might be interested in. Boogie
Tallarook, VIC(26－28 March)
Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised (监管) at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area. Splendour in the Grass
Byron Bay, NSW(24－26 July)
Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller. But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcome to hit Splendour with you. The usual rules apply — you’ll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they can’t go into bars. If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free. The Gum Ball
Hunter Valley, NSW(22－24 April)
We didn’t originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning. Not because we have anything against them. On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a family-friendly vibe(氛围).
Bellingen Turtlefest
Bellingen(30 September－2 October)
Great music for a great cause! Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time. There’s a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education center and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while you’re at the event.
36. If a 10-year-old goes to Boogie, he/she _____. A. doesn’t have to pay for admission B. must stay with an adult all the time C. must leave the licensed area by 11 pm D. cannot find a great kid-friendly area there
37.Which of the following festivals failed to be included in the beginning?
A. Boogie B. Splendour in the Grass C. The Gum Ball D. Bellingen Turtlefest 38.What do the festivals have in common? A. They’re all free for kids under 11. B. They’re all held in the summertime.
C. They’re are suitable for the whole family. D. They’re all concerned with wildlife.
B
I was quite angry with my professor last week when he gave us an assignment to “tell someone we love them”. It has to be someone we have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.
But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me. It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.
So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him. The next morning I was up bright and early. I could hardly sleep with excitement, nor did my wife.
At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.” My dad responded with a grumpy face, “Now what?” I assured him it wouldn’t take long, so he finally agreed.
At 5:30, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door. Dad did answer the door. I didn’t waste any time and took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.” His face softened and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, “I love you too, son.” Mom walked by with tears in her eyes.
Two days after that visit, my dad became unconscious. I don’t know if he’ll make it. What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again!
39. What problem did the author decide to solve? A. His heavy office work load. B. His hardly-finished assignment. C. His disagreement with his father. D. His unpleasant family gatherings.
40.What does the underlined phrase “a grumpy face” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Soft tone. B. Bad temper. C. Good mood. D. Great doubt. 41. How did the father feel when the author said “I love you” to him? A. Confused. B. Shocked. C. Moved. D. Indifferent. 42. Which sentence may be the best ending for the text?
A. So don’t wait to do the things that you know ought to be done. B. So don’t believe there will be a problem without a solution. C. So don’t complain when your teacher gives you assignments. D. So don’t forget to visit your family even if you are very busy.
C
“When I grow up, I want to be a runner.” These words are spoken by thousands of Kenyan children. 50 percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?
Although the question seems simple, finding the answer has proven to be difficult and controversial. A team of Danish sports scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation（高海拔） villages in the Rift Valley in western Kenya. People living at high elevations produce more red blood cells, which aid in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Because the air is thinner and contains less oxygen at high elevations, the body produces more red blood cells.
