at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me

to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was

really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared. could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared.

Germs(细菌) are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in

the air!

Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things

travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.

Warmer Weather Brings Germs

The world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can and can even kill people.

Under Your Skin

Your skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat,

or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too. They enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.

Fighting Germs

Your immune system(免疫系统) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system

finds and kills them. Special cells(细胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.

What can you do to fight germs? You should wash your hands with soap and water. Soap kills many germs,

and water washes them away.

Have you had this experience? You are watching a movie. A man is shooting on the screen. The picture is so real

that you think he is shooting at you. Or a car is speeding on the screen and at one point you are afraid that it will hit you.

Three-dimensional(3D) movies use special technology to make pictures seem more real and exciting than two-dimensional ones. The popular movie Avatar(《阿凡达》) this year uses 3D technology.

So far we can only see 3D movies in the cinema with a special screen and projector(放映机). But soon, we will be able to watch them in our living rooms. The Japanese company Sony told reporters that it planned to bring 3D televisions to homes in the near future. The company is also hoping to make other products with 3D, like laptops and PS3.

“” said Sony President.

3D movies and TV programmes are fun to watch, but do you know how they are made? It is much easier to

understand if we do an experiment.

Hold one of your fingers up at arms length and close one eye. Then try closing the other eye. As you switch(切换) between open eyes, you should see your finger “jumping” left and right against the background.

This happens because our two eyes are about 4cm away from each other. The separation(分开) causes each eye to see the world from a different angle. The brain puts these two views together. What you see becomes three-dimensional.

3D movies are made using two video cameras at the same time, which creates two different images. When the movie plays in a cinema, two projectors put the two images on the screen. With a pair of 3D glasses, the two images are separated and each image only enters one eye. Your brain puts the two pictures back together, and the pictures on the screen become three-dimensional.

46. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. They’ve got a train to take 3D movies back home.

B. They are ready to bring 3D technology to homes.

C. They have no more work to do on 3D technology.

D. They are not sure about the future of 3D movies..

47. According to the passage, 3D movies ________.

A. use advanced technology(高科技) to make special sound effects.

B. are less real than common movies, but more exciting

C. can only be seen in the cinema at the moment

D. will take the place of 2D movies in the near future.

48. From the passage, we know that 3D technology ________.

A. works in similar way of how our eyes see things.

B. is too expensive to be used in common homes

C. uses special video cameras and light effects

D. can be easy to experiment with

49. How many video cameras are needed when making a 3D movie?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

50. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how 3D movies will develop in the future

C. how 3D technology works and its future B. what makes 3D movies so enjoyable D. what 3D technology needs and its future

第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题， 共30分）

四． 阅读表达（10分）

If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.

Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that__________. Dr. Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”

So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr. Winkle says, “concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep

before you know it.”

How to Keep Fit

As we all know，health is very important．But how to keep fit? Firstly, we should have a good diet．That’s eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, but less junk food. Drink more water instead of coke or other unhealthy drinks. Secondly, it's good for us to take more exercise, such as running, walking, ball games and so on. At last, we should learn to relax ourselves. We can listen to some light music, chat with families or friends and have a good sleep. To keep fit is not difficult if you care it a lot.
