When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)！It's Curarpikt!"

At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that's exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《獵人》) by Yoshihiro Togashi (富堅(jiān)義博).

"I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him, "said the pretty 15-year-old girl. "I'm moved by his sad story and I'm attracted by his courage and personality."

In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind-hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture (俘獲) the people who killed his tribe (部落).

Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series (動畫片) Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt" in a cosplay show.

"I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun, " She explained. "It's really exciting to see young people wearing the make-up and costumes of characters that you've read about and are familiar with. "

"But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."

Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.

"It's a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do, " she said.

But she never talks about this hobby with her parents.

"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don't want to upset them so it's my secret hobby, " she said. "It's also why I don't dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others. "

11. What's cosplay according to the passage?

A. When cosplaying, comic fans wear costumes and pretend to be their favourite comic characters.

B. Cosplay is a kind of performance in which you play a Curarpikt.

C. Cosplay is a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi.

12. Shi Jia cosplayed Curarpikt _______ .

A. in order to attract her fans

B. because she liked animated series

C. because she was greatly attracted by that role

D. because it's her secret hobby

13. The underlined word "distract" means ________ .

Your cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and numbers that you’ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.

   DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you --- unless you have an identical twin. Scientists today usually analyze DNA in blood, saliva(唾液), or hair left behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify criminals and their victims.

   Meghan J. McFadden, a biologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect bled onto a cell phone and later dropped the device. This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cell phones --- even when no blood was involved. To find out, she and a colleague collected flip-style(翻蓋式) phones from 10 volunteers. They collected invisible traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the speaker, which is placed at the user’s ear.  

   The scientists scrubbed(meaning “cleaned”) the phones using a liquid mixture made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to remove all detectable traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week. Then the researchers collected the phones and repeated collecting traces on each phone once more. They discovered DNA that belonged to the phone’s owner on each of the phones.

   Surprisingly, DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were cleaned. That suggests that washing won’t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal’s cell phone. So cell phones can now be added to the list of clues that can help a crime-scene investigation.

McFadden decided to find out whether people leave their DNA on their cell phones when she ____ .

       A. got her cell phone lost by chance        

       B. found a cell phone with blood on it

       C. heard about a crime involving a cell phone 

       D. did research on cell phones

The scientists allowed the volunteers to keep their cell phones for a week in order to____.

      A. let them leave their traces on their phones 

              B. avoid keeping their cell phones too long

              C. give them a chance to get rid of their secrets

              D. find out who is responsible for the crime

The last paragraph mainly tells us that cell phones ____ .

              A. do harm to people  B. should be often cleaned

              C. disclose people’s secrets       D. help deal with crimes

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

              A. The reason for collecting the phones from volunteers.

      B. The technique of collecting DNA on the phones.

      C. The method of removing traces of DNA on the phones.

      D. The purpose of washing the cell phones.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon(馬拉松), and I laughed. He laughed too, but he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn't believe that I could do it. That made me angry, and determined, Now he knows that I can!

Training wasn't easy, but I kept going. I didn't need special training but I did need to buy very good shoes. Each day, I went a little further. By the end of three months, I was running five days a week. Some- times in the evenings I ran 10 km； on Sunday mornings, I sometimes ran about 30 kin. I used to come home, have a shower and eat my breakfast. I felt wonderful!

On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the front, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not slowed down by the amateurs(業(yè)余愛好者).

At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling over each other.  We could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn't rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners spread out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!

For the first 10 km I felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. However, at 15 km I got a pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30 km mark, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3 km and then I began to feel better again.

By the time I reached the 35 km mark, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that confidence made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few kilometers. I passed hundreds of slower runners, some of whom had passed me earlier, and I felt wonderful! AS I came round the last bend(彎道)and saw the finishing line, I could see three runners ahead of me. I raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn't care! I had run 42 km and completed my first marathon!

72. The writer's boyfriend laughed at her because     .

A. he thought she could run the marathon 

B. he .didn't think she could run the marathon

C. he wanted her to run the marathon        

D. she wanted to run the marathon

73. When the race began             .

A. all the faster runners were asked to stand before those slower ones

B. many runners fell over each other  

C. all the runners were asked to run slowly

D. the professional runners and club runners ran very fast

74. The hardest time for the writer was when she           

A. had run for 15 kilometers  

B. got a pain in her side

C. reached the 30 kilometer mark

D. was about to reach the finish line

75. The passage suggests that it is better to start a long race slowly             .

A. than to run at the same speed all the time 

B. than to run too fast at the beginning

C. than to run slowly at the end    

D. than to run very fast all the time
