Winston Churchill was born into a famous family. His father was a successful politician. However, as a boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school.

   Later he entered the Army and saw action in various countries.

   In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill’s work as a great politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been.

   In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Churchill prepared to fight. In 1940 he became the Prime Minster of England.

   France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to lose the war. Was it not possible to ask for peace, and listen to Hitler?

   Churchill spoke, “I have nothing to offer but blood, hard work, tears and sweat(汗)…. You ask what is our policy(政策)? I will tell you, it is to fight, by sea, by land and air, with all our force and with all the strength that God can give us. You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory.”

   The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go round. Churchill gave the answer: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the coast, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never give up.”

   By his courage and hard work Churchill heartened his people and other nations fighting together against Hitler. Victory finally came when the Germans lost World War II.

   Churchill died in 1965 and was given a State Funeral(國(guó)葬). This was a fitting payment to one of all the greatest men the world had ever seen.

57. Churchill ______ before he became a politician.

   A. was a slow student                B. was an army man

   C. helped his father in his career           D. had little interest in politics

58. The Germans attacked Britain ________.

   A. after France was defeated            B. before French fell

   C. soon after Poland was attacked       D. before Churchill became the Prime Minister

59. The underlined word “heartened” probably means ________ in this passage.

   A. surprised     B. encouraged       C. asked for     D. called for

60. Which of the following is NOT true?

   A. Churchill had worked as a politician for more than sixty years.

   B. The writer admired and respected Churchill very much.

   C. Churchill was not so clever as his father.

   D. Churchill was one of the most inspiring, brave and wise leaders in the British history.

Our neighbour's son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

    June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (緊身內(nèi)衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn't try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That's it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't match my red face well, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.

Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.

The author most probably bought a nice pink dress with a jacket ______.

  A. 4 weeks later    B. 4 weeks ago    C. a fortnight ago     D. a fortnight later

What had the author wanted to do with the tight dress?

  A. To make herself thinner.           B. To buy a large-size girdle.         

  C. To put on some weight.            D. To shake herself into it.

Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE according to the story?

A. She was very lucky to buy a girdle to go with her dress.

B. She had no choice but to put on the dress without a girdle.

C. She complained to the shop assistant about her carelessness.

D. She managed to put on the girdle with her husband’s help.

The purpose of this passage is ______.

  A. to show a husband’s selfless love         B. to share an interesting experience

  C. to describe a changeable girdle           D. to tell us how to keep calm in trouble

What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Funny Wedding      B. A Wise Decision    C. A Tight Situation     D. A Fierce Fight

第二節(jié)  讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題，滿分25分）

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

According to Shenzhen Daily, the city’s vehicle population has reached over 1 million and 80 percent of the vehicles are private cars.

Nowadays more and more families own private cars. Private cars, as the product of modern civilization, have been playing a vital role in people's daily activities. Firstly, private cars are a convenient means of transportation. You can go wherever you like. Secondly, there is no doubt that private cars will have a great impact on the economic growth. The rapid car industry growth will contribute much to keeping the country's economy growing at a higher rate in the near futrue.

     But every coin has two sides. The development of the private cars will bring about a series of problems. For example, the polluted air given off by cars will do great harm to our health, too many private cars will lead to traffic jams and a great deal of energy will be wasted and so on.That is why many people suggest we should go cycling in the city instead.    

However, I think that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles and enlarge the private car market. We should take advantages of private cars and make them serve us better. Meantime ,we hope that satisfactory solutions to these negative problems will be found soon.
