What is more important to a high school student than being popular？ Anyone who has ever gone to high school or at least seen a John Hughes movie knows the answer to that question. When Theresa Sommers first discovered MySpace three years ago， the teen from Minneapolis， St. Paul thought she had found the real high school popularity contest. She could spend hours a day creating an online picture， finding cool pictures and music to make her page look more beautiful， and looking for interesting-looking people to be her online friends. And along the way， she could compete with her friends to see who had the most friends or most-visited page.

The more she used the site， however， the less interested she became in only being popular; she started using her time for more heartfelt conversations with friends and went more deeply into her personal interests. As a beginner in taking pictures， she put her best pictures on the site and looked for advice from people who are good at taking pictures.

At the same time， she began to get in touch with the students of the colleges she wanted to go to. She opened up a new account （賬戶） on Facebook. And she even began to put some of her own creative writing on the website and would ask for advice on homework from her friends. She asked them， “How long did you spend on your homework？” or “How would you write it？” Often， she would put her homework online.

24. What is a John Hughes movie most probably about？

A. How to do well in exams.

B. Stories of successful people.

C. Life of high school students.

D. How to create online pictures.

25. Why did Theresa spend much time on MySpace at first？

A. To make more online friends.

B. To look for beautiful pictures.

C. To watch some online movies.

D. To keep in touch with her friends.

26. What is Theresa most interested in？

A. Photo-taking. B. Drawing.

C. Writing. D. Music.

27. What can we learn about Theresa from the last paragraph？

A. She wastes much time online.

B. She gets along well with her classmates.

C. She now uses Facebook mainly for studies.

D. She has much fun by talking with friends online.

Christmas is a great time with family and friends. One of the best ways to bond with （建立聯(lián)系） one another is through games. So why not play some great Christmas party games？

Present pickup is a great game for both young and old at heart. It can be played inside or outside. To prepare for the game， you will need to have some small boxes and some small gift bags. This is a great way to use the paper from last year. There should be as many presents as players. Youll also need four or more candy canes. Two large boxes can be used to drop the presents in.

Two ropes will be needed. Take one rope and make a starting line. The other rope will mark the finish line. Place the large boxes at the finish line. Equally divide the presents into two groups. Its best to have an equal number of boxes and bags on each side to make it fair.

The first player on each team will take two candy canes. When its time to start， theyll pick up the presents only using the candy canes. Each player must run his present to the box or finish line and drop it in. If its dropped on the way， the player starts over. After they drop their presents， the players will run the candy canes to the next players. This continues until all the presents have been picked up. The first team to finish wins.

To play kids against adults， you may want to put easier presents in a group for the kids and more difficult ones for the adults. There are many variations to the game， so have some fun and come up with your own.

28. What can we learn about the game present pickup？

A. It needs a lot of new paper.

B. It is played only in the open air.

C. It is enjoyed by people of all ages.

D. It needs more players than presents.

29. What is the use of the two ropes？

A. To separate the game players.

B. To create the difficulty of the game.

C. To mark the starting and finish lines.

D. To make sure of the fairness of the game.

30. What should players avoid in the game？

A. Running to the finish line.

B. Putting the presents in the box.

C. Dropping the presents on the way.

D. Picking up the presents with the candy canes.

31. What does the underlined word “variations” in the last paragraph mean？

A big part of the Pacific Ocean is suffering from a huge sea of plastic garbage， which some scientists think is as large as the United States， but almost no one noticed it until 1997.

Charles Moore was the captain of a sailboat that had just completed a race. He planned to sail home from Hawaii to California. He didnt follow the usual route to the south， and then east， but sailed directly east—a slower route with weak winds and few visitors. So Moore was sailing into almost unknown waters.

To his shock， Moore found a “soup” of plastic garbage under the oceans surface. Everyday plastic garbage， such as shopping bags and water bottles， were trapped among the tiny pieces. The sea of garbage reached out as far as Moore could see.

Oceanographers （海洋學(xué)家） are not surprised that garbage collects in the North Pacific. A pattern of winds and currents （水流）， called the North Pacific Gyre， gathers （聚集） this garbage. Water in the gyre goes round and round in a clockwise pattern， and anything that gets into the middle of it is trapped.

Some oceanographers have questions to Moore. Why didnt satellite pictures show the area？ Where did all this plastic come from？ Is it really a problem？ Moore learned some answers during return trips to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Satellites dont see the plastic because most of it is hidden under the oceans surface. Some of the plastic comes from ships， but most of it is washed into the ocean from cities beside the Pacific.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a real problem because the plastic in it is harmful to animals. Once fish and birds eat the plastic， poisonous chemicals will get into their bodies and make them sick or even kill them.

32. When did Charles Moore find the Great Pacific Garbage Patch？

A. On his way home.

B. During one of his races.

C. While doing an oceanic survey.

D. After coming across bad weather.

33. What gathered the plastic garbage in the North Pacific？

A. Sea animals. B. Business ships.

C. Oceanographers. D. Great winds and currents.

34.What question would some oceanographers ask about Moores report？

A. What harm can the garbage do？

B. Why didnt Moore report earlier？

C. Why is the garbage under the water？

D. What use can be made of the garbage？

35. What should be the best title for the text？

A. A Great Discovery

B. An Ocean of Plastic

C. The Origins of Ocean Pollution

D. The Mysteries of the Ocean System

第二節(jié) 閱讀七選五（共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分）

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？? For example， someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy， but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase， not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

This is just an expression fact. The phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon， not the color.

As the moon travels around the earth， it appears to change shape. We associate names with certain shapes of the moon.

A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all， it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon， it is called a full moon.? Sometimes， however， there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens， the second full moon is called a blue moon.

Over the next 20 years， there will only be 15 blue moons.

This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to other very rare events in their lives.

A. Its difficult to understand.

B. Thats never used in public places.

C. As you can see， a blue moon is a very rare event.

D. Usually， there is only one full moon every month.

E.For example， a small part of the moon is called a crescent moon.

F.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue.

G. People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often.
