( A )Birch Grove, November 13 --- It was nice and calm at noon yesterday, though unusually hot for November. In the evening, dark clouds appeared, and then the lightening and the rain started, and then came the wind. Suddenly, a deadly twister（龙卷风）swept across the small town, leaving at least five people dead and other missing.Meteorologist（气象学家）Mark Chaves said, “I saw the homes were thrown into lakes and the whole forest was wiped out.” Twisters are common in spring, rare in autumn. But Chaves said that unseasonably warm weather had made all the differences.Harry Coleman, a local man, was out of town when he got a call from his wife on his cell-phone. She told him that their son and grandson were missing. Others were luckier. John and Rebecca Reilly’s home lost electricity in the rainstorm, but no one was hurt.Poli ce officer Mike Barton said, “I heard the loud thunder and saw the lightening just before the twister came. Then I watched the twister pick up houses and cars, and throw them like toys.” Police are still searching for the missing, but the heavy fog is making their job more difficult.As Harry Coleman looked over his broken furniture lying on the ground, he said, “I can’t believe it. Yesterday we had a nice house, and today we don’t even have a toothbrush.”46.

John and Rebecca are neighbors( B )Shopping on the Internet or shopping online is becoming more and more popular. More and more people are using the Internet to buy things. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient. They don’t have to leave their homes to order something and they can shop for anything they want at any time, day or night. Some people say they can find things for sale that th ey can’t find in the stores near their homes. Other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit card（信用卡）. You can apply it from a bank.You have to give your credit card number and information to the website which sends them to the store over the Internet.You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in a wrong way. And if you don’t want someone to get your credit card number and buy something else with it, of course, you should always be careful with your credit card number because people sometimes steal credit card numbers.For people who are too nervous to shop online, the Internet is a good place for window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you go to a store and look at things for sale, but don’t plan to buy anything. Window-shopping is easy on the Internet. You can see all kinds of things and how much they cost. You can visit stores with branches near you, or you can visit stores that are only on the Internet.51. Which following is True about shopping online according to the passage?A.

Making use of the Internet（C）William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 onApril the 23rd. His father was an important man in the town, so Shakespearehad a good upbringing. Shakespeare probably went to school (although norecords survive to prove this) but not university. He got married when hewas 18 to Anne Hathaway and the couple had 3 children.Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets (a sonnet is a kind of poem). He began working in his hometown of Stratford, but by 1592, he began writing in London. He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and another in Stratford. He wrote sad stories called tragedies（悲剧）, like Romeo and Juliet, funny stories or comedies, romantic stories and stories about history, such as Julius Caesar.Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why are his works still popular today?His works looked at common human themes, such as betrayal, murder, lust, power, ambition and love. These themes are as much a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and are the themes we see in modern soap operas and Hollywood films. Even though his theatre, The Globe, burned down in 1613 it was rebuilt in London in 1997 and you can still see his plays performed there today.Shakespeare’s influence on the English language can still be felt today. We talk about“fair play”, meaning honest behavior but this phrase was first used by Shakespeare. And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression of “disappear into thin air”, which we still use it today when we lose something. Besides, Shakespea re’s works have been translated into many languages in the world. And perhaps we’ll still be as fascinated by his works 400 years from now as we’ve been for almost the last 400.56. When did William Shakespeare die?A. In 1592.B. In 1613.C. In 1616.D. In 1997.57. How many plays did William Shakespeare write?A. 38.B. 154.C. 121.D. 46.58. William Shakespeare didn’t write _______ in his works.A. tragediesB. stories about his childhoodC. stories about historyD. comedies59. The underlined word “it” (in paragraph 5) refers to ___________.A. one of his playsB. the phrase“disappear into thin air”C. one of his poemsD. the phrase“fair play”60. What is mainly about in the last paragraph?A. Shakespeare’ works have been translated into many languages.B. Shakespeare invented many interesting words and phrases in English.C. Shakespeare wrote many articles on how to understand English phrases.D. The influence of Shakespeare’s works on the English language to us.（D）Bayfield Shopping Coupons(优惠券)Six hours’ free parkingIf you spend ＄100 or more in our stores, you will enjoy six hours of free parking.
