                                     It is possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick. It has seven steps.

First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write down 73.

Next, double it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example, if your address was 73 and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you’d get 151.

So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five.

Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you’ll get 7550.

The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you’re 26 years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you’ll get 7576.

Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941.  

The seventh and final step is this: subtract(減) 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326.

The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73 is the address that we started with, and 26 is the age that we used.

If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result.

73 According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？

A. 1685          B. 8516          C. 8165          D. 1658

74. How can your age number appear at the last part of the result?

A. It’s really a trick.

B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2.

C. By taking Step 6 and Step 7.

D. By taking all the steps.

75. What’s the secret of the trick?

A. It’s impossible to know.

B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number ×2×50.

C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365－615=your age number.

D. Both B and C.

 A. 1950’s; twenties              B. the 1950s; his twenties  

C. 1950’s; the twenties           D. 1950s; the twenties

第三部分：閱讀理解（第一節(jié)15小題，第二節(jié)５小題；每小題２分，滿分4０分）

第一節(jié)：閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

                               Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that, to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

61. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _______.

  A. is always busy with his studies

  B. doesn’t want to be disturbed (干擾)

  C. keeps himself away from his parents

  D. begins to dislike his parents

62. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ______.

  A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

  B. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

  C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter

  D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

63. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

  A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

  B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

  C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

  D. teenagers talk little about their own lives.
