C. Visiting an amusement park.
The sky was dark, the house was creaking(吱吱作响), and I still had four hours until my parents got home. I locked myself in my parents’ room and turned on the TV full blast so I wouldn’t hear the creaking house.
Then the phone rang. I picked it up and said, “Hello? Hello?” There was no reply, but I could tell someone was on the other end. Finally, I hung up. A minute later, the phone rang again. Still no one said a word. I became more scared as time passed. The phone rang again and again and again…
By the fifth time, I didn’t want to pick up at all. The ringing continued anyway. To get my mind off this prank caller, I called my friend. She told me not to worry and to turn the phone off. As we talked, I heard someone pull into the driveway. I looked out of the window and saw an unfamiliar(陌生的) car.
Thirty minutes passed and the car was still in my driveway. It drove up and down the drive as if aware(意识到) I was watching. My friend told me to call the police, but I refused.
Soon the phone calls started again. I heard noises in the background, but I couldn’t tell what they were. I didn’t want that person to get out of the car and start toward the house. If they did, I didn’t know what I would do. None of the doors to the house were locked, and I had no way of protecting myself. The only thing I could do was to hide. I was considering calling the police, but my friend offered to drive by. “Maybe if they see me pull in, they will leave,” she suggested. By the time she arrived, the car had left. The phone rang again and I picked up, thinking it might be my friend. Someone on the other end said, “Bye-bye.”
When I think back to that night, I am no longer scared---just curious. Who could it have been? Even so, since then I have not stayed home alone – and I probably never will again. 49. What is the main idea of the article?
A. To describe a scary night the writer experienced. B. To show the writer’s courage in face of problems. C. To give thanks to the writer’s friend who helped her out. D. To advise young readers not to stay at home alone.
50. The underlined phrase “full blast” is closest in meaning to . A. noisily
B. excitedly
C. as loud as possible
D. a little bit quietly
51. When she saw the unfamiliar car pull into her driveway, the writer . A. called the police right away
B. waited for her friend to drive by for help
C. checked to see if all the doors to the house were locked D. made a lot of noise to make the driver leave 52. What is a prank caller?
A. A person who makes phone calls to trick you.

B. A person who calls the police right away. C. A person who makes lots of trouble. D. A person who calls the teenagers often.

[A submarine(潜水艇) is on the sea. A man is standing on the deck(甲板). It is Ned Land. He holds onto a rail with one hand and shades his eyes with the other as he looks into the distance(远处). He shakes his head slowly and sadly. Then he sighs(叹气) and shakes his head again. He is very unhappy.] [A few moments later, another man comes onto the deck.

Ned Land: Why are you waiting? You can go to his room and knock on the door and ask him, can’t you?
Soon we will be looking at Canada, my homeland! I can’t bear(忍受) it! I must get off the Nautilus! I will throw myself into the sea!
Dr. Arronnax: All right, I will ask him the next time I see him. Ned Land Shall I go and see him myself?
Dr. Arronnax: No, no. I will go and see him. Tomorrow. Ned Land: Today!

Soon, the website became very famous. In 2004, Zuckerberg decided to leave Harvard to run Facebook full time. It was the most important choice he made in his life and later brought him great success.

Thank you for your email. I’m very happy to answer your questions.
I like watching movies so much that I go to the cinema very often. However, I don’t like watching movies on the Internet because the qualities of some online movies may not be very good, and sometimes it’s not very fast to download one from the Internet. Romantic movies are my favorite because they usually have beautiful stories. I like Audrey Hepburn very much. She is the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. Moreover, she has a beautiful mind as well for she helped lots of poor children around the world.
I wish to watch a movie in Canada one day. Yours, Jing Xiaoyou
