As Rhonda passed by Sunil on the way to the teacher’s desk, she paused for a second or two and left fall a tiny piece of paper. It fell down like a feather and settled lightly upon Sunil’s desk. Sunil looked quickly and secretly at the “pencil woman” but she had not noticed. She was too busy grading Rhonda’s test now, putting tick (√) after tick on the test paper and nodding her head with satisfaction. So the answers were indeed the right ones and here they sat on his desk!
Sunil had no idea how hard the test would be. Before the exam, he told himself to take the exam in an honest way. He chose this seat specifically to avoid cheating in the exam. But now, here he was, staring at the piece of paper that contained the key to his hopes. All he had to do was turn it over and look at the answers. The other children were too busy sniffingand biting their fingernails to notice and if he hurried, he might even copy the answers down before the “pencil woman”looked up again. She had finished grading Rhonda’s paper and was concentrating on the next script. Sunil stared a long moment at the paper, extremely tempted (诱惑).
Then, he reached out and quickly threw it away from his desk and it fell onto the floor. What good would those opportunities do to him if he was not allowed to be given them And where was the pleasure in cheating If he could not pass fairly, he did not want to pass. He thought this—and mostly believed it—and felt happy and comfortable about the decision. But even so, a few seconds passed before he could tear his eyes from the paper on the floor. “All right,” he told himself, returning to the test, “get a move on, Sunil, and don’t look back.
There’s no time to waste!”

Hannah Montana is a special movie about an ordinary teenager with a special secret, one that she is trying her best to hide from others. Apart from a few people, no one knows that the normal-looking Miley is actually the famous singer Hannah Montana. This double life can cause Miley to make mistakes; however, she is brave, smart, and also good-hearted.
Sometimes Miley has to make courageous choices. For example, when she is late for her best friend’s birthday party and does not have time to change into an ordinary-looking teen-
ager, she goes to the party as Hannah Montana. Unfortunately, the party turns into a big failure; everyone is more excited about seeing a great celebrity (名人) and forgets about making her friend happy. Nonetheless, we can still admire Miley for putting herself at risk for her friend.
Another reason for liking Miley is that she is smart. Her father takes her to live in her hometown of Crowley Corners, a very rural (乡下的) and simple town. One morning, Miley has to get some fresh eggs for breakfast, but she is faced with a problem— the hens do not want to give her their eggs. Miley thinks up a clever idea. She sings and dances to distract the hens. It works, but in her excitement, she breaks almost all the eggs she has collected. Once again, she fails, but there is no doubt about how creative she is.
Perhaps the most important reason to like Miley is that she has a very good heart. She wants to help her friends and family, and in the process of doing this she would feel sorry when something goes wrong. Particularly, she does not want to lie to Travis, a boy who likes her very much. He does not know she is a great singer, so she feels upset in her heart about not letting him know.
There is a lot to see in Hannah Montana, but viewers will definitely enjoy the main character in the movie. She is very humorous, courageous, and kind.
28. Who is Hannah Montana
A. A school teacher. B. A movie director.
C. A working mother. D. A teen celebrity.
29. What happens at the friend’s birthday party
A. Miley appears an ordinary-looking girl. B. The party is canceled because of Miley.
C. Miley becomes the focus of attention. D. Miley misses her friend’s birthday party.
30. According to Paragraph 3, where might Miley be
A. A small farm. B. A city breakfast store.
C. A rural school. D. A singing contest.
31. What could be the best title for this passage
A. Hannah Montana, a Famous Singer B. Hannah Montana, a Special Movie
C. Hiding from Others, a Double Life D. Helping People, a Pleasing Choice
D
Restaurants and food shops not satisfying the government hygiene standards can lose their licenses or permits under a demerit (记过) system introduced by the Urban Council. Health officials can give demerits in the form of points and food shops can be closed either for a short period of time or forever if they reach the demerit limit.
Fifteen points within a 12-month period will result in a food shop being closed for four days. If another 15 points are collected within a year of a first offence, the food shop will be closed for a week. Ten more points collected within a year of the second offence will mean being closed for 14 days.
Being closed one more time and another 10 points within 12 months will result in a license being cancelled and the food shop closed. On the other hand, if a food shop has a clean sheet for a year, it can start all over again.
Demerit points are given according to the seriousness of the hygiene offence. Very serious offences earn 15 points, for example, selling polluted food which is harmful to health, watering down milk or injecting (meat with water. Serious offences carry a 10-point punishment and include illegally doing business beyond licensed areas, employing workers likely to spread disease, or failing to keep the food shop or equipment clean.
Major offenses include selling food containing something that is not allowed or facing the risk of being polluted by rats and pests. Such offense carries 5 demerit points. So do having dirty fish tanks and having a lot of rubbish. Moderate offenses carrying three demerit points include allowing a dog in the food shop and failing to sterilize (消毒) wet towels.
To raise cleanliness awareness among restaurant operators, the Urban Council holds a Restaurant Hygiene Competition every year. Restaurants are judged by Urban Council judges according to environmental, food and worker hygiene, cleanliness of kitchens, equipment and toilets. This year, more than 5, 000 restaurants were judged and 450 restaurants with the city area of Hong Kong satisfied the government hygiene standards.
32 What does the underlined word “offence” probably mean

C. A big mistake. D. A long delay.

C. Allowing a dog in the food shop. D. Having dirty fish tanks.
34. Which of the following is a shop with “a clean sheet”
A. A shop becoming clean all over. B. A shop admitting it is wrong.
C. A shop taken over by a new owner. D. A shop without any new demerit points.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage

I grew up in a small village called Kampong Baru. My cousin, Loke, was near in age to me and he was my best friend. Loke and I changed the large place in front of our house into bicycle tracks or badminton court(球场).
At a later stage, Loke and I had a few badminton racquets(and badminton became one of our favourite sports. It did not matter that we did not know the rules-how to count the score and when to serve(发球). All we had to do was hit the shuttlecock(羽毛球)hard enough, so that it crossed over to the side of the opponent. As long as the shuttlecock was flying back and forth, we were happy.
With so much practice in badminton, I believed that I was good at the game. After all, I did win many of the matches against the neighbourhood children.
When I was in Secondary Two, our school held a badminton match. Our teacher asked for volunteers to sign up for it. Nobody responded. “Alright, looks like nobody wants to. Is there anyone who knows how to play the game “Immediately, I raised my hand. ”Good, looks like we’ve a volunteer here, the teacher smiled. Forty pairs of eyes turned to look at me. Some were glad and some were confused but everyone cheered for sure. I had no idea then that that match would be one of the most awkward experiences of my life.
The day came and I found myself face to face with my opponent. “That’s the school champion,” one classmate said in a low voice. My heart became a little heavy but still, I knew the game. I did not know what I was doing, obviously.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

As Rhonda passed by Sunil on the way to the teacher’s desk, she paused for a second or two and left fall a tiny piece of paper. It fell down like a feather and settled lightly upon Sunil’s desk. Sunil looked quickly and secretly at the “pencil woman” but she had not noticed. She was too busy grading Rhonda’s test now, putting tick (√) after tick on the test paper and nodding her head with satisfaction. So the answers were indeed the right ones and here they sat on his desk!
Sunil had no idea how hard the test would be. Before the exam, he told himself to take the exam in an honest way. He chose this seat specifically to avoid cheating in the exam. But now, here he was, staring at the piece of paper that contained the key to his hopes. All he had to do was turn it over and look at the answers. The other children were too busy sniffingand biting their fingernails to notice and if he hurried, he might even copy the answers down before the “pencil woman”looked up again. She had finished grading Rhonda’s paper and was concentrating on the next script. Sunil stared a long moment at the paper, extremely tempted (诱惑).
Then, he reached out and quickly threw it away from his desk and it fell onto the floor. What good would those opportunities do to him if he was not allowed to be given them And where was the pleasure in cheating If he could not pass fairly, he did not want to pass. He thought this—and mostly believed it—and felt happy and comfortable about the decision. But even so, a few seconds passed before he could tear his eyes from the paper on the floor. “All right,” he told himself, returning to the test, “get a move on, Sunil, and don’t look back.
There’s no time to waste!”

Hannah Montana is a special movie about an ordinary teenager with a special secret one that she is trying her best to hide from others. Apart from a few people, no one knows that the normal-looking Miley is actually the famous singer Hannah Montana. This double life can cause Miley to make mistakes; however, she is brave, smart, and also good-hearted.
Sometimes Miley has to make courageous choices. For example, when she is late for her best friend’s birthday party and does not have time to change into an ordinary-looking teen-
ager, she goes to the party as Hannah Montana. Unfortunately, the party turns into a big failure; everyone is more excited about seeing a great celebrity (名人) and forgets about making her friend happy. Nonetheless, we can still admire Miley for putting herself at risk for her friend.
Another reason for liking Miley is that she is smart. Her father takes her to live in her hometown of Crowley Corners, a very rural (乡下的) and simple town. One morning, Miley has to get some fresh eggs for breakfast, but she is faced with a problem— the hens do not want to give her their eggs. Miley thinks up a clever idea. She sings and dances to distract the hens. It works, but in her excitement, she breaks almost all the eggs she has collected. Once again, she fails, but there is no doubt about how creative she is.
Perhaps the most important reason to like Miley is that she has a very good heart. She wants to help her friends and family, and in the process of doing this she would feel sorry when something goes wrong. Particularly, she does not want to lie to Travis, a boy who likes her very much. He does not know she is a great singer, so she feels upset in her heart about not letting him know.
There is a lot to see in Hannah Montana, but viewers will definitely enjoy the main character in the movie. She is very humorous, courageous, and kind.
28. Who is Hannah Montana
A. A school teacher. B. A movie director.
C. A working mother. D. A teen celebrity.
29. What happens at the friend’s birthday party
A. Miley appears an ordinary-looking girl. B. The party is canceled because of Miley.
C. Miley becomes the focus of attention. D. Miley misses her friend’s birthday party.
30. According to Paragraph 3, where might Miley be
A. A small farm. B. A city breakfast store.
C. A rural school. D. A singing contest.
31. What could be the best title for this passage
A. Hannah Montana, a Famous Singer B. Hannah Montana, a Special Movie
C. Hiding from Others, a Double Life D. Helping People, a Pleasing Choice
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Apart from a few people, no one knows that the normal-looking Miley is actually the famous singer Hannah Montana. (除了少数人，没有人知道长相普通的麦莉实际上是著名歌手汉娜蒙塔娜)”可知，汉娜蒙塔娜实际上是一个著名歌手，即一位青少年名人。故选D。

细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, when she is late for her best friend’s birthday party and does not have time to change into an ordinary-looking teenager, she goes to the party as Hannah Montana.

【30题详解】

Restaurants and food shops not satisfying the government hygiene standards can lose their licenses or permits under a demerit (记过) system introduced by the Urban Council. Health officials can give demerits in the form of points and food shops can be closed either for a short period of time or forever if they reach the demerit limit.
Fifteen points within a 12-month period will result in a food shop being closed for four days. If another 15 points are collected within a year of a first offence, the food shop will be closed for a week. Ten more points collected within a year of the second offence will mean being closed for 14 days.
Being closed one more time and another 10 points within 12 months will result in a license being cancelled and the food shop closed. On the other hand, if a food shop has a clean sheet for a year, it can start all over again.
Demerit points are given according to the seriousness of the hygiene offence. Very serious offences earn 15 points, for example, selling polluted food which is harmful to health, watering down milk or injecting (meat with water. Serious offences carry a 10-point punishment and include illegally doing business beyond licensed areas, employing workers likely to spread disease, or failing to keep the food shop or equipment clean.
Major offenses include selling food containing something that is not allowed or facing the risk of being polluted by rats and pests. Such offense carries 5 demerit points. So do having dirty fish tanks and having a lot of rubbish. Moderate offenses carrying three demerit points include allowing a dog in the food shop and failing to sterilize (消毒) wet towels.
To raise cleanliness awareness among restaurant operators, the Urban Council holds a Restaurant Hygiene Competition every year. Restaurants are judged by Urban Council judges according to environmental, food and worker hygiene, cleanliness of kitchens, equipment and toilets. This year, more than 5, 000 restaurants were judged and 450 restaurants with the city area of Hong Kong satisfied the government hygiene standards.
32. What does the underlined word “offence” probably mean
A. A dirty restaurant. B. An illegal act.
C. A big mistake. D. A long delay.
33. Which offence carries the lowest demerit points
A. Watering down milk. B. Selling polluted food.
C. Allowing a dog in the food shop. D. Having dirty fish tanks.
34. Which of the following is a shop with “a clean sheet”
A. A shop becoming clean all over. B. A shop admitting it is wrong.
C. A shop taken over by a new owner. D. A shop without any new demerit points.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage

C. To support the Urban Council. D. To advertise for restaurants in Hong Kong.

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Being closed one more time and another 10 points within 12 months will result in a license being cancelled and the food shop closed.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a small village called Kampong Baru. My cousin, Loke, was near in age to me and he was my best friend. Loke and I changed the large place in front of our house into bicycle tracks or badminton court(球场).
At a later stage, Loke and I had a few badminton racquets(and badminton became one of our favourite sports. It did not matter that we did not know the rules-how to count the score and when to serve(发球). All we had to do was hit the shuttlecock(羽毛球)hard enough, so that it crossed over to the side of the opponent. As long as the shuttlecock was flying back and forth, we were happy.
With so much practice in badminton, I believed that I was good at the game. After all, I did win many of the matches against the neighbourhood children.
When I was in Secondary Two, our school held a badminton match. Our teacher asked for volunteers to sign up for it. Nobody responded. “Alright, looks like nobody wants to. Is there anyone who knows how to play the game “Immediately, I raised my hand. ”Good, looks like we’ve a volunteer here, the teacher smiled. Forty pairs of eyes turned to look at me. Some were glad and some were confused but everyone cheered for sure. I had no idea then that that match would be one of the most awkward experiences of my life.
The day came and I found myself face to face with my opponent. “That’s the school champion,” one classmate said in a low voice. My heart became a little heavy but still, I knew the game. I did not know what I was doing, obviously.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The whistle (口哨) blew and the game began. The shuttlecock was raining on me like fast stones. I was everywhere on the court chasing after the shuttlecock. I did not know how to count the score and I did not know when it was my turn to serve. It was obvious to everyone that I was quite unskilled. The match became my practice-my opponent took pity on me, guiding me whenever it was my turn to serve. By now, you can guess the result. I lost the game completely.
I did not know where to put my face, now burning red with shame. Why did I raise my hand to sign up for the game I saw the smile on the teacher’s face. Did she laugh at me Were some of my classmates playing jokes on me when they praised me for daring to take part in the school badminton match Walking slowly to my teacher, I had meant to say sorry. But my teacher patted me on the shoulder and said: “The result is not important. What’s important is that you have the courage to take the first step.” I was encouraged. Actually, it was “the first step” that made my life meaningful.

②由第二段首句内容“我不知道该把羞愧得通红的脸放在哪里。”可知，第二段可描写作者非常惭愧，本想对老师道歉，却得到了老师的赞许。
2.续写线索：作者幼时经常和自己的堂兄打羽毛球，作者以为自己非常善于打羽毛球——初二时，学校举办了羽毛球比赛，作者积极参加——比赛时，作者才知道自己根本不懂羽毛球比赛的技巧和规则，输掉了比赛——作者非常羞愧——作者的老师却对作者的表现大加赞许，认为作者有勇气迈出第一步非常有意义
