My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I 21 to some degree，though I sometimes do want to 22 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football apart from 23 goals. It seems funny that we are 24 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are uncertain, but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s 25 .

We need these pleasures to bright up our lives. But that doesn’t 26 to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We 27 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 28 and great contribution that makes one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 29 about Beckham’s good looks.

If we close our eyes, falling in deep 30 ,we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and are just satisfied with 31 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 32 has blinded and misled (误导) us, and we’ll remain ignorant (无知的) 33 we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 34 us, we will finally prove how much we have 35 up, how much more sensible, mature (成熟的), and intelligent (智慧的) we have become.

21. A. like

B. agree

C. hope

D. think

22. A. ask

B. tell

C. scoring

C. amount

D. rise

27. A. dared

B. would

C. could

D. should

28. A. thinking

B. character

C. looks

D. ability

29. A. more

B. something

四、阅读理解:共15小题;每题3分，共45分。阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项。

A

Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. Their family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.

People don’t use their middle names very much. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called “John Brown”. People never use Mr., Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr., Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

Sometimes people ask me about my name. “When were you born, why did your parents call you Jim?” they ask. “Why did they choose that name?” The answer is they didn’t call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That’s because it is shorter and easier than James.

36. Most English people have _______ name(s).

A. one

B. two

C. three

D. four

37. _______ is Jim’s family name.

A. Jim

B. Green

Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.

Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.

When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby café to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.

Crocodiles (鳄鱼) lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Baby crocodiles have special sharp teeth with which to break their way out of the shells.

Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. They spend most of their time lying around in the mud or the rivers. The crocodile’s long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plates which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile bird. For its food this bird takes the bits left in the crocodile’s mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its own teeth, for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows of terrible pointed teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless human being, and then holds it below the water until it is drown to death.

The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid and because of this, the people of West Africa where it lives, sometimes catch it for food. Many, many centuries ago there were crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bones buried far down in the earth on which London is built. But the Britain of today is too cold for them to live in. Crocodiles may grow to over thirty feet in length. When they lie floating in the water, they look like floating tree-trunks and it is often impossible to tell that they are there.

47. The female crocodile _______.

A. buries her eggs

B. sits on her eggs

C. carries her eggs

D. eats her eggs

48.The crocodile can only look _______.

A.left

B.right

C.backwards

D.ahead

49. The crocodile kills its food _______.

A.over the water

B.beside the water

C.under the water

D.on the water

50.The West Africans catch the crocodile because it is _______.

A.wild and cruel

B.shy and timid

C.stupid and slow
