I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend's house. It was just after four o'clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按鈕) 12.
The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, halfway up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn't understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.
Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火災(zāi)警報(bào)). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, "Just get me out of here. I'll never be bad again."
Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:
"Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4pm and 5 pm on Thursday March 13."
小題1:What happened to the lift?

D．It moved fast up to the top floor

What would happen if you tried to blow a soap bubble in freezing weather? Would it freeze solid(固體) and fall to the ground? Would you have to hit it to break it? These questions happened to me on a cold winter day. It was too cold to play in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen bubbles.
To blow frozen bubbles, I used dishwashing soap and a drop of glycerin（甘油） to make it even better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what would happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubbles frosts over (結(jié)霜), becoming cloudy instead of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls（旋轉(zhuǎn)） you see in soap bubbles? The rainbow colors stay even when the bubbles frost, but they don’t swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in the air. They don’t fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.
When these frozen bubbles break, they don’t turn into small water drops as summer bubbles do. They turn into flashing rainbow confetti（碎屑） and move slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across the snow without breaking. If nothing disturbs the bubble, it may stay there for a long time. Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.
I learned another thing about blowing frozen bubbles. It’s so interesting that I want to try it again next year.
小題1:It is the perfect time to blow frozen bubbles on a ___________day.
A．cold winterB．warm springC．hot summerD．sunny autumn
小題2:When the frozen bubbles break, _________.
A．they make a big soundB．they turn into small drops
C．they fall to the ground like rain D．they become rainbow confetti
小題3:The purpose of the passage is _______.
A．to learn how to do a science experiment
B．to show the experiment of blowing frozen bubbles
C．to discover games that are fun to play in the snow
D．to invent a new kind of soap that makes stronger bubbles

Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.
小題1:Who thinks that students won’t have to go to school?
A．Everyone.B．The writer.C．Some people.D．The teachers.
小題2:What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?
A．A school with many new computers.B．A school with many new students.
C．A school with many new teachers.D．A school connected to the Internet.
小題3:What the writer thinks is that____________.
A．schools are still necessaryB．more schools should be built
C．there should be fewer schoolsD．more computers are needed in schools
小題4:Why do people think learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office?
A．Because whole city is connected to the Internet.
B．Because everyone can go on the Internet.
C．Because getting online is very easy.
D．Because Scientists could give talks through the Internet.
小題5:What fact does the passage NOT provide?
A．Technology will change our way of learning.
B．If you are a student, you can set up websites to show new technology.
C．The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.
D．On the Internet, you can visit another city's libraries as easily as the people there.

March 16 is World Sleep Day. This year’s slogan is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the *benefits of good and healthy sleep.
Fangfang, from Liaoning, just became a high school student last September. She gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day and goes to bed at about midnight. Fangfang feels sleepy all the time. “I want to finish all my homework first,” she said.
Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep *Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students who are 10 to 17 years old, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours every night.
But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others,they may even have insomnia, and usually they have to ask the doctors for help.
These sleeping problems greatly *affect people’s life. Some doctors found out that *lack of sleep for teenagers lead to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, they often become anxious easily.
Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include *avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time every night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.
More tips to get a good night’s sleep:
Exercising during the day. You’d better do sports three hours before going to bed.
Don’t eat big meals before bedtime. Drink a warm glass of milk.
If you stay awake worrying about things, try making a list of things that you need to do before you go to bed.
小題1:How much sleep do students aged from 10 to 17 need every night? 
A．7 hours.B．8-9 hours.C．10-12 hoursD．Less than 7 hours.
小題2:What does the word “insomnia” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．失眠癥. B．好動癥.C．咽喉炎. D．關(guān)節(jié)炎.
小題3:If teenagers don’t get enough sleep, they may _____________. 
A．do well in sportsB．grow and develop better
C．feel sleepy in classD．do much better in studies
小題4:Which of the following is a good sleeping habit according to the passage?  
A．Do exercise at night before going to bed.
B．Going to sleep at the same time every night.
C．Going to sleep in a place where it is bright.
D．Eat big meals or drink a lot of wine at night.
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?   
A．People should sleep well to live healthy and study better.
B．Teenagers should sleep longer on Saturdays and Sundays.
C．People should see the doctor if they don’t have enough sleep.
D．Teenagers don’t get enough sleep because of heavy homework.

A Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce(確保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically(生物學(xué)上)these sleepyhead(貪睡者)students aren’t used to the early hour.
　　“Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent (青春期的)sleep at Brown’s School of Medicine.
　　Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns(方式).
　　Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.
　　Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matter of choice---their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.
　　All of this makes the transfer(遷移)from middle school to high school---which may start one hour earlier in the morning----all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescents are up against difficulties when they try to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying. “I need a timeout.”
小題1:Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because _______.
A．it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtime
B．it is biologically difficult for students to rise early
C．students work so late at night that they can’t get up early
D．students are so lazy that they don’t like to go to school early
小題2:The underlined phrase nod off most probably means _______.
A．turn aroundB．a(chǎn)gree with othersC．fall asleepD．refuse to work
小題3:What might be a reason for the hard transfer from middle school to high school?
A．Adolescents depend more on their parents.
B．Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.
C．Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.
D．Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.
小題4:What is the test mainly about?
A．Adolescent health care.
B．Problems in adolescent learning.
C．Adolescent sleep difficulties.
D．Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.
