Can you imagine what 680，000 tons of food look like？That's the amount of food wasted in Britain each year, and at the top of the list of wasted food is bread. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten for breakfast, used for sandwiches for lunch and put in soups at dinner. Almost everyone in Britain buys bread.
Bread is so important to the British that they use the word "bread" to mean "money" and the word "loaf"（一条面包） to mean "head"． So let's use our "loaves" to understand why so much "bread" is wasted!
Even though bread is still sold in such a popular way and in such a large amount, that doesn't mean it's made full use of. It seems people are simply buying much more than they need, so they throw away the bread that they don't need.
Baker Chris Young explains that the British aren't valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. "None of the bread that is thrown away is ‘real' bread-homemade or carefully made bread, but is bought from the bread shop."
Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. "If you make something by yourself, you don't want to waste it because you know how much energy you've put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many it's out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they don't have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and just bring it home to eat."
Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter.
(1) What can we infer from the passage？______
A. Bread plays an important part in British diet.
B. Different British people like different foods.
C. Bread will become less popular in Britain.
D. Bread is the favorite food for the British.
(2) If a British boss says to his workers "Please bring your loaves here," he ______ .
A. wants his workers to eat healthily
B. advises his workers to buy more bread
C. asks his workers to work more cleverly
D. promises to give his workers more money
(3) Mark Boyle believes that the British throw away much bread mainly because ______ .
A. they are tired of eating bread
B. they are too rich to value bread
C. they don't like the taste of bread
D. they don't put any energy into making bread
(4) Many British people fail to make bread by themselves at home because ______ .
A. they are very busy B. they don't earn much money
C. they become lazier than before D. they don't know how to bake bread

4阅读理解 中
InMay 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50, 000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250, 000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something terrible: the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway(晃动). The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.
Thestory is one of scores in To Forgive Design: Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean(赞歌) to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles(航天飞机) Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of the Titanic.
Thoughhe acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.
Readerswill encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.
"Successis success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.
(1) What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?
A. It carried more weight than it could.
B. It swayed violently in a strong wind.
C. Its roadway was damaged by vehicles.
D. Its access was blocked by many people.
(2) Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?
A. No design is well received everywhere.
B. Construction is more important than design.
C. Not all disasters are caused by engineering design.
D. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
(3) What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Failure can lead to progress. B. Success results in overconfidence.
C. Failure should be avoided. D. Success comes from joint efforts.
(4) What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A short story.
C. A book review. D. A research article.

9书面表达 难
As a sixth grader,I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups.I wasn't sure where I belonged.I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned "secret friends" for the coming week.She wrote each kid's name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass；then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days.By the middle of the week,everyone,including me,had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift.We left cards,pens and even money.It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment,I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package.I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder （胭脂粉）.The girls sitting near me laughed the gift I had received.To make matters worse,the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift,but when I was in the bathroom during the break,the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me.I quickly joined in "How terrible"，I heard myself saying "What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift？My grandmother wouldn't even want it." The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom.I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said.It wasn't normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.
注意：（1）续写的词数应为 150 左右：（2）请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth （厕所隔间），tears streaming down her face._____
Paragraph 2：
Along with my apologies,I explained the reason.______
