A

Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many advantages. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups.

I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor, I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teachers asked us to discuss it with each other, but I was very shy, I could not do it like what they told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else bravely, then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed out at all. At last, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was!

Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics any more. With my classmates’ help ,I get more confidence. It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways. So let’s study more in groups.

51. What subject was poor for the writer in Grade 8?

A. English. B. Physics. C. Maths. D. Geography. 52. Which of the following is WRONG in this article? A.I felt relaxed after studying in groups.

B. We can save time and encourage each other when studying in groups. C.I was excited because I could finish my homework alone at last.

D.I am still worrying about physics because of studying with my classmates. 53. What is the best title of the article?

A. To study in groups. B. To do homework in groups. C. To study alone. D. To do homework alone.

The bicycle is one of the simplest and most useful inventions in the world. What is the most surprising is that it was not invented earlier, although the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things. Those things were not produced until long after he died.

A person riding a bicycle uses very little energy to make the bicycle move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding. In Chengdu, a lot of people rode bicycles to work twenty years ago. But cars instead of them now. Even so in developed countries, most people do not travel to work by bicycle. It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel tired if they ride to work. It is because the number of cars on the roads is becoming larger. It certainly becomes more dangerous to ride a bicycle. As a result, more people put their bicycles away and go to work

in their cars. And in this way, the traffic is very crowded when people go to work by car in the morning and go home after work, the situation is becoming worse and worse.

Perhaps the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths only for bicycles, and to make it so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bicycles. There has been a special way for bicycles on the road in Chengdu now. I think more and more people will return to ride bicycles to go to work. The air of cities will be much fresher. The sky will be a lot bluer. The people will live much happier lives. 54. Who invented the bicycle?

A. Gergy Bush. B. Mark. C. Leonardo da Vinci. D. Harry Borty. 55. The traffic is very crowded ,it is because ____________________.

A. the roads are becoming larger B. a number of cars are on the roads C. there are many bicycles on the roads D. lots of people are walking on the roads 56. Why don’t people today go to work by bicycle?

A. Because the bicycle is too expensive. B. Because it’s very tiring to ride a bicycle. C. Because the people dislike bicycles. D. Because it’s very dangerous to ride a bicycle. 57. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? ① The bicycles were not produced until long before he died. ② A lot of people in Chengdu rode bicycles to work 20 years ago. ③ It’s not polluted for people to ride bicycles.

④ The people in Chengdu can’t go to work with a special way by bicycle now. A. ① ② B. ② ③ C. ①② ③ D. ② ③ ④

Once upon a time, there was a lion and a mouse.

One day, when the lion was sleeping, the mouse ran onto his face. The lion woke up. He was very angry and caught the mouse. ―I will eat you!‖ the lion said angrily.

The mouse cried out, ―If you do not kill me, I would be happy to give you a reward(回报).‖ The lion laughed at the idea. He did not think a little mouse could help such a big strong animal like himself. But he still let the mouse go.

After a few days, it happened. The lion was caught by hunters’ net. He tried his best to leave, after half a day, but he still couldn’t get out of the net. He was very sad, he thought he was dying. At that time the lion felt something nibbling(啃，咬) on the ropes. It was the mouse. Just before dark, the work was done. There was a hole in the net. The lion got free through the hole. He was very happy and thanked the mouse, ―My friend, you have saved me. I will never doubt the power of small animals like you.‖

From then on, the lion and the mouse became friends.

58. The lion didn’t eat the mouse at last, did he?

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Hundreds of people are killed because of fire every year. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways or windows escapes, but not elevators.
