Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields and two hours later, reached the next village. He could only give his name and address.

By the time he was seven, Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “I just want to see new places in the world, which makes me very happy.” Johnny told them.

Johnny continued to “see new places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.

It is hardly surprising that Johnny managed to board a plane with lots of goods. He was only twelve at that time. A few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows. According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.

In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed mathematics and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. “I want to be an explorer!” he answered. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer in this modern age,” they tried to tell him. But it was no use. Johnny knew what he wanted!

Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper. A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were jobs for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.

24. Why did Johnny frequently leave home?

A. He enjoyed seeing new places. B. He liked geography very much. C. He was tired of going to school. D. His parents were strict with him. 25. What did Johnny’ parents and teachers do with him?

A. Kept following him to get him back. B. Encouraged him to travel abroad. C. Tried to stop him from slipping away. D. Booked tickets for him if necessary. 26. What was Johnny going to do?

A. Work for a daily paper. B. Have a holiday abroad. C. Travel to Brazil alone. D. Explore the Amazon River. 27. Which of the following best describes Johnny?

A. Naughty. B. Adventurous. C. Disappointing. D. Generous.

C

A terrible competition is going on in England, with billions of dollars and hundreds of lives at risk. OK, that’s not true. But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday for the annual competition to compete for the world’s biggest person who tells lies.

Each participant is given up to five minutes to make up the best fib in the contest, which was founded in honor of 19th-century Bridge Inn landlord Will Ritson, who was reportedly famous for his lies. Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition, a small pub in northwestern England. Anyone but lawyers and politicians can take part in the competition.

A study found that nearly all lies are detectable（可检测的）through visible facial muscle reactions in the person telling a lie. “Thus, while interpersonal cheat often is highly successful, signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer,” the study concluded. A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition, simply stating, “I have never told a lie in my life.”

In 2003, Abrie Krueger from South Africa became the first one to win the competition. In 2006, comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition, telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change.

28. Why does the author tell a lie at the beginning of the passage?

A. He likes telling lies. B. Nearly everyone has told lies. C. Lies can be detected by someone. D. He intends to talk about a contest. 29. What does the underlined word “fib” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Lie. B. Story. C. Experience. D. Plot. 30. Who can’t take part in the competition?

A. Doctors and teachers. B. Reporters and editors. C. Lawyers and politicians. D. Students and managers. 31. What’s the author’s main purpose of this passage?

A. To explain how to deal with lies. B. To introduce a strange competition. C. To discuss how to avoid telling lies.

D. To invite people to take part in the competition.

D

Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table, enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.

Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience. It’s a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.

Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening’s entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.

A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want to.

For most westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it’s now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me, it’s like a dinner party where my taste buds（味蕾）and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.

32. What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China? A. It has a history of over 1,000 years. B. It is a fun social experience.

C. It serves people with many kinds of foods.

D. It keeps people very warm in winter.

33. We can conclude from the article that British people generally _________. A. enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants B. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot C. don’t like sharing food with others in restaurants D. don’t mind the smell of food staying on their clothes 34. How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal? A. More than four hours. B. Over one hour. C. About three hours. D. All the evening. 35. What is the author’s attitude to hot pot?

A. Serious. B Tired. C. Humorous. D. Appreciative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
