On Friday morning, I was waiting in the corridor with my class for the physics exam. Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks,   36   all my calls and messages.

With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to   37   my paper. I was just looking up when a    38   caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good    39   ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t   40    ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked   41    down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had   42    her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her   43    and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.

After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really   44   that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n)    45    today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was   46    . I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t   47   who my friends are. Will you forgive me?” At these words, from my deep heart sprang up a burst of guilt along with the belief: Friendship is an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure.

第一节阅读理解（共12小题；每小题1.5分，满分18分）
One morning I was woken by my mother’s angry voice. I opened my eyes and found it was seven forty , so jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.
However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait for another one. I felt I couldn’t wait and the school was only fifteen minutes’ walk, so I ran to the school as fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard. 
I reached the classroom with all my clothes wet through. Mr. Smith, our physics teacher, had begun his class. I was always afraid of him. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door.
“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr. Smith said angrily. “I’ve told you not to be late, but you...” Then he suddenly stopped when he noticed my wet clothes. He quickly took off his own jacket and asked me to put it on. “I don’t want you to catch a cold,” he said kindly. I went to my seat with Mr. Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, Mr. Smith’s physics class so interesting and I changed my mind, there and then, about being afraid of him.
49. According to this passage, classes in Jim’s school probably began at _______.
A. 9 am             B. 8 am            C. 7 am            D. 7:30 am
50. Why did Jim not open the door at first?
A. He was afraid of facing Mr. Smith.         
B. He didn’t like to have the physics class.
C. Mr. Smith didn’t let him go into the classroom.   
D. He didn’t want to interrupt others.
51. Jim found Mr. Smith’s physics lesson interesting that day because ________.
A. he knew physics was very important         B. he wanted to go to a famous college
C. he didn’t want to fall behind the others       D. he was moved by his physics teacher
52. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. Jim usually went to school by bike        B. it was the first time Jim had been late
C. Jim was often late for school             D. Jim’s mother also got up late that morning

In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember throughout their lives. I had a similar experience, too.

I was very excited. It was the day of my last paper of the final examination. My mind was full of thoughts of how I would spend my vacation. I was especially excited of the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.

I was prepared for the subject, physics. My friends and I were on the ground doing the last minute revisions and also discussing the questions that were supposed to come in the paper. Suddenly the bell rang and we got into our classrooms. The teacher came and quickly handed out the answer paper and the question paper. The paper was of two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the answer paper before the allotted（规定的）time. the teacher was not collecting and I had to sit till the time was over. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go after the paper.

Though I was thinking for a long time, the time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the question paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. I had a quick glance at my watch. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I was hardly in a state to write anything. They were the sub-questions（小题）of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very much relieved.

Thereafter I never made such mistakes again. But I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.

1.Which of the following statements is true?

2.The underlined word “relieved” means ________.

3.We can infer from the passage that _____________.

4.We can learn from the passage that we should _____________.
