A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (12分)
Daniel Olin was 11 years old when his parents moved to Canada. He liked his new school and made friends there, but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day, Daniel's mum left. With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away. And that's what he did.
Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through deep snow, not even watching where he was going.
Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.
A tree shook ahead. From within the branches(树枝), a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle (口鼻) against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe.
They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices. The rescue (援救) team had found them.

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（12分）
My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a bakery for some bread. As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and some blue hair on top of it. One of his nostrils was pierced (穿孔), and his ears were full of rings. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under 80 . Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped when she saw the teen.
I thought he'd scared her and she'd frozen on the spot. I was wrong. My Grand Angel backed up against the door and opened it as 81 as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a kind "Thank you very much".
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her 82 in holding open the door for the young man. She didn't seem to be 83 by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.
It 84 that the person who needed the talk was me. The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen, was the fact that his arms were full. "He would've had a hard time to open the door." I saw the partially shaved head, the blue hair, the piercings and the earrings. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door. I'm always the one who is so quick to judge. In the future, I hope to get down on her 85 and raise my sights.
80. A) other B) the other C) another D) one
81. A) far B) fast C) wide D) soon
82. A) speed B) progress C) manners D) success
83. A) troubled B) fooled C) prevented D) judged
84. A) pointed out B) turned out C) found out D) worked out
85. A) situation B) hands C) side D) level
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
First there were CDs, then we had MP3 music and now we have ringtones (铃声)! People use their mobile phones to play music. You can listen to the radio on your mobile phone, download music onto it and use it like a MP3 player. Some pop groups find that m 86 people listen to their songs on their mobile phones than they do on CDs.
So many people have mobile phones that sometimes you don't know when your phone rings. Ringtones are often u 87 to tell you it's your phone. Companies sell them to you and they are downloaded on your phone.
At first, there were just different rings. They were like a normal telephone. Then people made them sound like a piece of music. Now you can get all kinds of sounds. N 88 every pop song can be played on your mobile phone. You can also get a 89 sounds - there are elephants, cats, dogs, lions and lots of strange bird sounds, too.
You can make your o 90 music. You need special software to do it. There are also karaoke ringtones. Your voice is recorded with some music and you hear it when someone calls.
Now you can have a different sound for every person you know. Your address book is used to find out w 91 is calling. Then it plays a different song for each person. If your best friend likes a special song, he can hear it, too!
You have to be c 92 with the song you choose, though. Some songs can cause trouble. If your family call you, they don't want to hear a noisy pop song with silly words! You should choose something that sounds nice. Some sounds are very noisy and fast, which make people angry. Ringtones are fun, but they should not make people angry at you!
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
In a comfortable room in East London, a group of teenagers and older women are looking at brightly coloured paintings with chatting and laughing. They are taking part in a four-month art project started by the charity, Magic Me, which was set up in 1989 to solve generational problems and bring the local community closer by organizing creative projects.
Anisa Islam, a quiet 15-year-old student, loves taking part in the meetings, which she says have given her a safe place to talk about difficult emotions (情感). Besides this, there is much-needed useful guidance (指导) that only older women can give. She said, "I am closest to Winnie. She gives me a lot of advice on exams, telling me not to worry about them too much. Before, I was really shy and I couldn't speak up, but now I join in and am confident."
Her head teacher, Vanessa Ogden, agrees that Magic Me, which has worked with the school on eight such projects, has had a great effect on the girls taking part. "Every year, many students improve their confidence and ability to think about their lives. They love meeting women with life experiences, and begin to understand how they can change their own lives. They regard them as role models," said Miss Ogden.
Davies, a charming older woman, says such projects are good for both older and younger people. "I think there should be a Magic Me in every area. We were like strangers at first, but by the end of the project we are like a family. We look forward to seeing the girls and they look forward to seeing us. They make me feel young again."
93. When and where was Magic Me set up?
It was set up _________________________.
94. What does Magic Me do to bring the local community closer?

95. Anisa used to be shy, didn't she?
