Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.
A girl named Jenny once told me about her 36 in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke 37 :
My 38 with my mom all started one day 39 she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure disrespectful today.” I 40 it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never 41 back to her. So every time she would say something 42 I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay,43 you want, Mom”
But I really got cold quickly. And my 44 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s 45 ”and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever 46 ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was 47 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 48 her how important it was to me.
At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to 49 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 50 than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a 51 to her.
After my blowup, we felt like we were 52 all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always 53 my feeling with her.
If you adopt Lose Win as your basic 54 toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be 55 your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

Let’s Go Bug Hunting More Often
Kids spell love T-I-M-E.
John Crudele One fall afternoon I rushed home from the university where I taught. I prepared a simple dinner, threatened (恐吓，威胁) my nine-year-old daughter, Christi, to hurry and finish her homework “or else”, and told Del, my husband, not to leave his dusty shoes on the good carpet any more. I then hurriedly cleaned the entry-way because a group of respectable ladies were coming by to pick up some good used clothing for a worthwhile cause; and then later a graduate student would be at our house to work on a very important thesis (论题)---one that I was certain would help a lot with research.
As I paused to catch a breath, I heard Christi talking with a friend on the telephone. Her words went something like this: “Mom is cleaning house—some ladies we don’t even know are coming by to pick up some old worn –out clothes…and a college student is coming out to work on a thesis…no, I don’t know what a thesis is…I just know Mom isn’t doing anything important…and she won’t go bug (小虫) hunting with me.”
Before Christi had hung up the phone, I had put on my jeans and old tennis shoes, persuaded Del to do likewise, pinned a note to the door telling the graduate student I’d be back soon, and set out the box of used clothing on the front porch (门廊) with a note on it that Del, Christi and I had gone bug hunting.
56. The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us that the writer ____.
A. was a good housewife.

57. What made the writer change her idea?

B. She took the box of used clothing to the ladies.
C. She did what her daughter wanted her to do.
D. She continued to do everything as planned.
59. What did we learn from the story?

Can you understand the beginning of this essay ” “My Mysmmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF &3 kds FTE ”.
The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers. But customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it ’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r ” for “are,” “u ” for “you ”, and “2” for “to ”
.
Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for laughing out loud”. Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls”.
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say language always develop and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
60. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?
A. Using letters to represent words.
B. Using phrases to represent essays.
C. Using letters to represent phrases.
D. Using numbers to represent words.
61. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essay?
A. My Smmr Hols
B. CU in LA
C. My GF
D. My Gr8 Tchr
62. Why do some people think that texting is bad?
A. It costs too much
B. It’s too difficult to type.
C. Teenagers won’t learn to write correctly.
D. It’s not comfortable.
63. Why aren’t some people worried about the effect of texting?
A. Not many people use texting.
B. Spelling in English is too difficult.
C. Teenagers quickly become bored with texting.
D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.

MANCHESTER, England-Here’s some good news for vegetarians that researchers in UMA Group have developed genetically engineered fruit trees that product real meat!
Fruit from the new Meat Trees, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef!
“Our trees may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s really true,”declares Dr. Vincent, director of the UMA Group, which created the amazing trees. “Vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a while. Now they can have their cake and eat it too.”
Although it’s taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. “We take the genes from cattle and put them into the cells of grape—fruit trees,” Dr. Vincent says.
“When the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead of ordinary fruit. You get the taste—even the smell.”
Those who’ve tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. “I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree,” says Londoner Mark, who took part in a taste—test. “But it was juicy and delicious—nothing leafy, about it at all.”
Meat Tree products could be on the market in Great Britain by the end of the year and on dinner plates in the U. S. By 2006. Some vegetarians insist they should never eat meat—even if it grew on a tree. Others love the idea. “My mouth is watering already.” Says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years.
64. According to what Dr. Vincent said, we know that ____.
A. vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it later
B. the idea of Meat Trees and came from a science fiction movie
C. vegetarians can eat meat from the new trees
D. vegetarians can taste and even smell fruit from Meat Trees
65. The underlined word “thing” probably means ____.
A. fruit
B. grape
C. meat
D. cake
66. In paragraph 5, the author took Mark for example to ____.
A. show he is one of the devoted vegetarians
B. prove the real taste of fruit from Meat Trees
C. tell how a vegetarian eats the new fruit
D. to explain how the taste—test is given
67. By writing this passage, the author wants to ____.
A. show how gene technology develops
B. encourage people to eat fruit from Meat Trees
C. explain how hard to develop meat trees
D. tell readers good news about meat from trees
D
Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings? Little wonder. We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, he found that speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here’s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding. (1)Don’t trust what you see from the listener.
Listeners often nod, look at you or say “huh”to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2)Train the editor in your head. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her
husband”, it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems”, or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”
(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying, “I want
to be sure I said that right.” Questions like “How does that sound?” or “Does that make sense?” may also work.
(4)Listen well.When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you’re on the
same page. After all, it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.
68. Why does the writer give us the advice?
A. We’re not skillful enough to make clear sentences.
B. Misunderstanding is ruining our normal lives.
C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then.
D. He has made a study of misunderstanding.
69. The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should ____.
A. trust what the listener said
B. look directly into the listener’s eyes
C. first have a wide knowledge of body language
D. make sure of getting himself understood
70. By “Train the editor in your head”, the speakers are advised ____.
A. to get themselves trained by a good editor
B. to discuss problems with their husband or wife
C. to express themselves in long but simple sentences
D. to make sure each sentence has only one meaning
71. The underlined part “you’re on the same page” in the passage means “____”.
A. you’re following the speaker closely
B. you’re reading the same page as the speaker does
C. you should know which page the speaker refers to
D. your story is written on the same page as the speaker’s
E
Too much fishing has reduced fishery (渔场) populations by 90% or more from their highest recorded numbers. Some fishing seasons last only a few days because the catch limit is quickly reached.
Two years ago Boris Worm, a Canadian scientist, predicted the risk of a worldwide fishery collapse (崩溃) by 2048. But a new study shows a management system called “catch shares” could offer a solution. It divides the total permitted catch in a fishery into shares, which are bought and sold like shares of stock in a company. Shareholders in the fishery are each guaranteed a percentage of the catch.
Catch share systems are common in Australia, New Zealand and Iceland. And they have been gaining popularity in the United States and Canada. Systems differ from place to place. But in general, experts set yearly limits on a fishery. The number of fish that each company or individual may catch is usually based on past averages. Shares become more valuable as fish population increases. With more fish in the
fishery, catch limits also increase.
Shareholders are supposed to think about the long-term health of the fishery. They have a greater interest to protect the supply than in traditional, open access fisheries. But does that really work?
Researchers examined more than 50 years of records from 11,000 fisheries worldwide. They compared open access fisheries with 121 fisheries that use catch share systems. They found that almost a third of the traditional fisheries have collapsed. But the number was only half that for the catch share fisheries.
The leading researcher Christopher Costello from the University of California, says the results is very hopeful and the system can improve the world’s fishing grounds and rebuilt collapsed fisheries.
However, not everyone likes the idea. Some environmental activists say the catch share system makes a public resource into a private enterprise. Generally speaking, anybody can work a traditional fishery. There is no need to organize into a group or company. Yet if scientists’warnings are correct, those fisheries may not have many fish left to catch by the middle of the century.
72. By writing the passage, the author intends to ____.
A. warn fishermen to save public resources
B. discuss different ways to protect fisheries
C. call for a solution to collapsed fisheries
D. introduce catch share systems to readers
73. Catch share systems are popular in some countries because ____.
A. the number of fisheries is on the increase
B. the quantity of fish being caught is limited
C. fishery populations are expected to decline
D. the governments make a huge profit on the deal
74. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. Catch share systems do protect fisheries to some degree.
B. Catch share system is of no practical value as expected
C. Overfishing has been common globally for over fifty years.
D. Most traditional fisheries have collapsed due to overfishing.
75. Which of the following is the direct effect of “catch shares”?
A. The public can be free to fish in public fisheries.
B. Traditional fisheries disappear soon.
C. Some private enterprises control public fisheries.
D. Fishery populations keep on falling with fewer fish.

写作范文 (One possible version)
I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)。
