I have learned it for nearly 3 years. It’s not easy 37 , but it is very important for us.English is 38 spoken language in the world. People in different countries often use English to talk with each other. Our country has opened its doors to the world, More and more people come here as 39 or on business. So English is 40 common in our country. Of couse, I must learn it well.English will be 41 to me after I leave school. If we want to do business with foreigners, we must know English, because 42 of them speak and write English. In the world, most science books are 43 in English. I am learning English so that I read short 44 in English.I can also sing many English songs,English 45 me enjoy myself after class.四. 阅读理解(24分) A“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used t o express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You May think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite football player.We all maximixe(扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new ” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also show a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep somecredibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool. ( )46. In the passage, the word “express” means “______”. A. see B. show C. know D. feel ( )47. If you are_____ something , you may say, “It’s cool.”A. interested itB. angry aboutC. worried aboutD. unhappy with( )48. In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示) that the word “cool” ________. A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting C. can make your life colourful D. may not be as cool as it seems BMany people think the more time is spent, the more work will be done. So students have to spend the whole day doing school work except the three meals. It is common to see students struggling(挣扎,奋斗) in a sea of school work both at school and at home. Modern students usually have many interests. They love music and sports. They like reading and watching TV. A two-day weekend can get them away from too much school work, and they can do what they like. But still teachers do not think about it. Because they have too much school work, they have no time to enjoy themselves. Students are really tired of their weekend homework. So they usually don’t do their weekend homework until Sunday night. And there is not enough time but much work, students have to finish it carelessly. The poor weekend homework makes teacher angry.Things always get worse without right ideas. Too much school work makes students lose interest in learning. It’s also bad for their health.A horse runs faster after a rest. But for students only rest is not enough. So such a condition(环境) should be changed to give students both pleasure and knowledge. Please give students less homework and leave them more free time. ( )49.Many people thinks the more time is spent, _____.A. the better grades will be got for a student.B. the worse grades will be got for a student.C. the best grades will be got for a student.D. the worst grades will be got for a student. ( )50. The students today usually ______.A. don’t have many interestB. don’t like playingC. take an interest in music and sports.D. have enough time to play. ( )51. Students usually do their weekend homework ____. A. on Saterday and Sunday B. On Saturday eveningC. on Sunday eveningD. on Monday( )52. Students should be given _____.A. both homework and restB. both knowledge and pleasureC. both sports and musicD. more homework and less free timeD）根据文章内容，按顺序从句子A—G中选择五句填入76—80中。

That is when the Nile River flooded its banks, bringing water and fertility to the land.Today, most people celebrate New Year’s Day on January 1. People observe the New Year’s holiday in many different ways.The ancient Babylonians celebrated by forcing their king to give up his crown and royal clothing. They made him get down on his knees and admit all the mistakes he had made during the past year.Making New Year’s resolutions is a common American tradition. Today, popular resolutions might include the promise to lose weight, stop smoking, or be more productive at work.People offer New Year’s resolutions to make major changes in their lives. One such resolution might be to "stop and smell the flowers." this means to take time to enjoy simple pleasures.Another resolution might be "don't sweat the small stuff.' This means not to worry or get angry about unimportant problems. Another resolution might be to forget about bad things that happened in the past.41.

He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865).In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne’s writing inclu ded many predictions (预言) for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.Jules Verne’s books have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Ve rne’s books. The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time!46. What does the phrase ―the father of science fiction‖ mean?A.

The main characters in Verne’s books are always on time.D. The space flight Verne described was different from others.Passage CMost American students have said goodbye to fancy (高档的) fruits these days. In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.―People are afraid to spend now,‖ said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store. ―They don’t know what the future will bring.‖During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of t he country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals. In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends meet (维持生计).The crisis (危机)began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time.Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.51. Why are people in the US afraid to spend?A. Because they think it’s unnecessary.B. Because they don’t have the babit of spending money.C. Because they worry about their future.D. Because they don’t have enough money.52. The underlined word ―concerns‖ probably means _____.A. worriesB. conditionsC. hobbiesD. experiences53. The fifth paragraph mainly _____.A. tells what it is like in a crisisB. explains why there is a crisisC. warns people of the danger of the crisisD. asks people not to borrow money from banks54. People feel _____ about the US plan to save the market.A. satisfiedB. doubtfulC. hopelessD. angry55. The best title for the story is _____.A. Ways to make ends meetB. The money problem facing the worldC. Healthy fancy fruitsD. The art of borrowingPassage DAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while —then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreignersat their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!56. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.58. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant59. The underlined words ―generous with our time‖ in Paragraph 3 probably mean______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time60. A suitable title for this passage would probably be ―______‖.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsPassage EToday there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This is a lot of people to feed. We need more food.One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material （遗传物质）. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods （转基因食品）, or GM foods.By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared （准备）, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.61. GM foods are made by ________.A. farmersB. workersC. scientistsD. plants62. What are the good things about GM foods?A. They make plants strong against diseases.B. They are unnatural.C. They can help in human diseases.D. Both A and C.63. GM foods ________.A. are a quick way to produce foodB. grow in the wild （野生）C. are safeD. are grown only in rich countries64. Why do some people not like GM foods?A. They are not useful.B. They are not helpful.C. They are not natural.D. They are not cheap.65. From the reading we know that ________.A. GM foods will disappear one day in the futureB. GM foods will not disappear in the futureC. people will not be interested in GM foodsD. people will have to stop using GM foodsIV. 词汇A)1.On the Eve of the Spring Festival, many people play fireworks , very colorful light a ____ in the sky.2.The failure of the experiment made us very d____ .3.Don't h___ to ask if you need any help.4.

I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags shaking inside the storm door on the top step."Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin-little sandals, wet with heavy snow."Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa."They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a fiat voice, "Lady, are you rich?"I looked at the old furniture in the room. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." Her voice was hungry with aneed that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn't said "Thank you,", They didn't need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job - these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddyprints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.68. Two children came to the lady's front door because ______.A. they wanted to collect old papersB. it was too cold outside that dayC. it was Thanksgiving Day.D. they wanted to have a cup of cocoa69.

If that's true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first revealed last year in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores, in Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton belonged to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit, after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle,including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, aswell as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. "The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans," Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancienthumans Homo floresiensis.Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our familytree bigger than we knew. It means, says Brown, that "until recently, a relative shared the planet with us."Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modem humans whose small size was the result of a geneticproblem.Daniel E. Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University, thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusual skeletons. "Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process," Lieberman said. "As far as I'm concerned, the story's only just begun."72. Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because ______.A. it is a figure described in the Lord of the RingsB. it belongs to an ancient human speciesC. it proves to be a full-grown adultD. it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of books73. Small discoveries in Indonesia are important because they ______.A. are revealed in the scientific journal NatureB. are made by Peter Brown, a famous scientistC. might provide new evidence for human studyD. are about ancestors of modem humans74. According to Daniel E. Lieberman, ________.A. disagreement leads to further researchB. Homo floresiensis doesn't existC. the investigation hasn't begun yetD. our family tree is bigger than we knew75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Comparison between Different PeoplesB. Arguments over Human OriginC. Discovery of a Possible New Human SpeciesD.

I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind, but I just couldn't win," he announced and shook his head sadly.Prozorov's disappointment was shared by several grand masters, who were present, some of whom were so upset that they shouted at the machine. Many chess players said that this meant the end of chess championships around the world, since the fun had been taken out of the game.The computer walked--or rather, rolled-away with 5,000 dollars in prize money and limited its remarks to a set of noises and light.59.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, "Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?"I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze."Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!""No seriously," I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us."We do not stop playing because we are old; We grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!" she said."There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen-years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older, If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men," she added."The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Song of Rose" . She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year's end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. Oneweek after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.63. Rose made herself known to the author in a __________ manner.A. strangeB. politeC. humorousD. crazy64. From the information provided in the passage, we know __________.A. Rose finished the college degree within a year.B. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education.C. Rose enjoyed her campus life very much,D. Rose grew so old that she stopped playing.65. Rose delivered the speech __________.A. at the graduationB. which she prepared carefullyC. ended with "The Song of Rose"D. to challenge all the other speakers66. According to her speech, __________.A. Whenever you have a dream, you succeedB. all people don't grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. a nine-year-old is as old as an 87-year-old if he doesn't do anythingD.This is an open letter to the person who stole my handbag from the department store where I am employed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I don't know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you. I have informed the Social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cashing card is no longer valid, so it won't be much use to you.Actually I don't mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don't suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notesand things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn't even an expensive one. Just a plain, old brown leather Shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modem living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. "It happens all the time," they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I've lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.67. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to _____________.A. state the fact that she was careless with the moneyB. give some suggestions to the thiefC. tell the thief that hardly any money was availableD. describe the contents of the bag in detail68. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bag.B. The handbag itself.C. The papers and notes in the bag.D. The checkbooks in the bag.69. What can we conclude about the police?A. They think the case quite common.B. They show sympathy for the woman.C. They have doubts about human nature.D. They are unable to find the thief.70. Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warning.B. To express her affection for her valuable bag.C. To call people's attention to their belongings.D. To complain about the fall of morality.E.In modem society there is a lot of disagreement about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death matters. In theirsingle-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think it's really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. If I hadtried and lost, that would mean a lot."Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think one's self-respect depends on how well one does compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this fear-begins to dissolve (消除) can we discover a new meaning in competition.71. Why do some people welcome competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It improves one's abilities.C. It develops human qualities.D. It builds up friendly relationship.72. The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ___________.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who depend on others most for successD. those who are against competition most strongly73. Which of the following may the writer agree to?A. Every effort in competition should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning in competition should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be taken away in competition..74. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Competition is bad for social development.C. Ideas about Competition are different among people.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.75. According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?A. Competition can definitely lead to unfriendly relationship between people.B. Many children who value competition highly believe that the development of other humanqualities is also important.C. In almost every culture, people are strongly against competition.D. People have to get rid of the fear of not being valued in order to better understand themeaning of competition.Ⅴ. Fill in the blank with the correct sentence below. (5%)A. Then who should we invite?B. You might have brought the presents in advance.C. And if we should fix food ourselves, it would cost less．D．We might have a small one．E．It would be a lot of work to get the house decorated．F．But I thought you were planning to go to the Turners'．G．We've got only three weeks to go．--Honey, what would you say if we have a Christmas party at home this year?--____1____ Where could you have it?

Reading Comprehension (20*1=20%)ASeveral years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many building in the center of New York.The reporter was talking to them about being important."How do we know if someone is really important?" the reporter asked the banker.The banker thought for a few moments and then said, "I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important."The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. "Do you agree with that?" she asked.The man shook his head, "No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You'd only be important if while you were visiting thePresident, there was a telephone call from the President of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it."The reporter turned to the third man. "Do you think so?""No, I don't," he said. "I don't think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.""Then what would make the visitor important?" the reporter and the other two men asked."Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, 'It's for you.'"66. This story happened in ________.A. EnglandB. AmericaC. JapanD. Australia67. There were _______ in this passage.A. two men and two womenB. three men and one womanC. three women and one manD. four women68.

He, along with other average students, finds it hard to win teachers' attention.His deskmate does very badly in class, but Zhang thinks he's "lucky". This is because teachers always help him. "If one day my teacher came to ask me whether I understood the class and helped explain something to me, I can't imagine how happy I would be," Zhang said.Some middle school teachers put great hopes on top students and pay more attention to struggling students now. Su Juan, a teacher of Chinese from No.2Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University in Shanghai, offered an opinion, on the situation.Su said that some teachers worked hard to help their best students get into top senior middle schools. This brings honors to the teachers as well as the students. And helping struggling students can improve the overall results of the class.

OnceI came out of the kitchen, complaining, "Morn, I can't peel potatoes. I have only one hand."Mom never looked up from sewing. "You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me. "And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us raceacross the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, i shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Morn about it. She hugged me, and I saw her "we'll see about that" look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. On the playground, Morn looked carefully at the bars."Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my fight hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.

Children in some countries "learn time slowly" because "they don't wear watches" and "parents don't really know how to teach them time." The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can't get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course, it's the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely "takes their imagination"by presenting the "'hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Fiik. Fiik points to related "blue" minutes on the dial, while Flak points to "red" hour numbers. The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teachyoung children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine." The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it's quite another for them to be on time.64.From the news report we know that _________.A. parents are patient when teaching children timeB. parents have little idea of how to teach children timeC. children are likely to learn time quicklyD. children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch65.The author doesn't seem to believeA. children will be on time if they have not learnt how to tell timeB. a Flik Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell timeC. the Flik Flak can take children's imaginationD. children usually have trouble telling time if they don't wear watches66.The underlined word handicap (Para. 1) means _____.A. displeasureB. discouragementC. disappointmentD. disadvantage67.The United State sales manager calls the new watch "childproof" because ______.A. it is designed to teach children to be on timeB. it proves to be effective in teaching children timeC. it is made so as not to be easily damaged by childrenD. it is the children's favorite watchDMost British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popularhobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. Onereason for their interests is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive design. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a bank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.The flint telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British telephone cards appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a seriousbusiness. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors' magazine.68.

The writer mentions a market in Paris in order to show thatA. card collecting is popular among young peopleB. French and Japanese cards are the most valuableC. people can make money out of card collectingD. card collectors' magazines are very usefulENOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences, Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people foyer bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drag on people in the US and France. The drug stops the bodyreleasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only theemotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument, Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous becausememories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us whowe are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.72. The passage is mainly about _________A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill73. The drug tested on people can __________A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories74. We can infer from the passage that ________A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America75. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.Ⅴ. Fill in the blank with the correct sentence below. (5%)A．What did you say?B．I'm a total stranger here．C．You can't miss it．D.
