The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names and ages. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.5.

It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.12. The first paragraph is mainly about________.A. the difficulty of learning English.B. how interesting and various English isC. different words in different languagesD. the i mmigrants’ contributions to America13.

Her husband was withher, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was em barrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset abo ut what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flo wers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy th e lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was am azed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went o ver to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told hi m, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give h er this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so m uch, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, tellingher who it was from.

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分。
）AIt all started at the beginning of this term. At first, Carmen was n’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the no tes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboa rd. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen,I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.”At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite sho ws.“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three da ys later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd (书呆子),” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses o n as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Th eresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the gra ssy area of the playground.Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them o n. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I d idn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!”“Thanks,” Car men replied shyly.As they walked back toward the school building, two more girl s praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glass es won’t be so bad after all,” she thought.1. According to the text, Carmen ______.A. doesn’t like doing homeworkB. often tells lies to her teacherC. cares how well she does in lessonsD. has trouble getting along with her classmates2. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Other girls expect to have new glasses.B. Carmen will get used to wearing glasses.C. Wearing glasses will make Carmen look beautiful.D. Carmen hopes to receive more comments on her glasses.3. The purpose of the text is to tell readers ______.A. how to protect their eyesB. never to make fun of othersC. things aren’t always as bad as we expectD. it is necessary to give a hand to those in troubleBOne afternoon Peter and Jim went out for a bicycle ride. Whe n they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bus hes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village. The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire. The boys left their bicycles and ran towards th e village to see if they could help to fight the fire. On the way t hey met two firemen.“Quick, you boys,” said one of the firemen. “Come and help u s to pull a pump (泵) to the stream. We can’t beat out the fire. The wind is too strong. The pump is our only hope.”The two boys ran further until they came to a heavy pump. Th ey helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village.Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch th e fire. It had already reached the edge of the village. The boys saw that two houses were on fire, and the flames were attack ing a third building. Suddenly there was a shout from one of th e villagers.“Keep away!” a voice shouted. “There’s paint stored in that bu ilding.” The boys and villagers moved away quickly. With a lou d explosion (爆炸), the whole building burst into flames, sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky.At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole villag e would be burnt to the ground. The firemen had left the burni ng buildings and were pouring (浇) water onto the neighboring houses, trying to stop the fire from spreading. Then the wind died down. A second pump was brought up to help, and the fir e was gradually put out.“It’s soon finished,” Peter said to his friend. “We must go or w e shall get home late.”“Yes, come on,” agreed Jim, and witha last look at the ruins, they walked back to their bicycles.4. Seeing the fire, the boys ran to the village to _____.A. watch itB. ask for helpC. help the firemenD. warn the villagers5. The villagers were told to keep away from the fire mainly be cause _____.A. their help was unnecessaryB. it was spreading very rapi dlyC. two burning buildings were falling downD. one of the buildings stored a lot of paint6. The firemen tried to stop the fire from spreading by _____.A. using an airplaneB. using more fire enginesC. pulling down the burning housesD. pouring water ontothe neighboring houses7. According to the text, _____.A. no one knew how the fire broke outB. two pumps were used to put out the fireC. two buildings were burnt down during the fireD. the boys didn’t leave until the fire was put outCScientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help rem ove land mines from the countryside. Land mines are small b ombs (炸弹) hidden in the ground and designed to explode when some one steps on them.When trained, the rats can smell special metals in the mines a nd then signal to their human team. Then why use rats for suc h an important job?In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs. Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders, just like dogs do. But rats are much lighter than dogs. They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines, which explode under a certain amount of weight. What’s more, the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs. It costs about the same amount of money to t ake care of one dog as it does 70 rats.The rats have already been used in Tanzania, an African cou ntry with many land mines. Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her t eam in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats. The se are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in l aboratory experiments. “They even train their babies to perfor m their jobs, which saves us a lot of time,”Méndez said. Colombia has the second-highest rate (比率) of deaths from land mine accidents in the world. Last year, land mines killed 695 people — 56 of whom were children. A criminal (犯罪的) group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia , or FARC, as well as other organizations, have placed the mi nes. FARC are strongly against Colombia’s government. The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside.In the past, the Colombian government hired peasants and po or farmers to find mines. Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs.Colombian police official Erick Gu zmán hopes the team of rat s can come to the rescue. “These rats will be a great help,” he said.8. How do rats help to find land mines?A. By their sense of smell.B. By their light weight.C. By their special sight.D. By their excellent hearing.9. The advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs is that __ ___.A. they are clevererB. they run fasterC. they have a better sense of smellD. they don’t make mi nes explode as easily10. The underlined word “They” may refer to _____.A. dogsB. scientistsC. Wistar ratsD. Méndez and her team11. What is the text mainly about?A. People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines.B. Specially-trained rats help clear land mines.C. Dogs are no longer used to find land mines.D. Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians.DThink about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and h igher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re so mething scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, rid ing in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight. Now scientists are making effo rts to reduce the expense of those rides.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a spac e elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable（绳索）— more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equ ator orbit (绕……的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weigh t on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must a lso be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it . One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from th e moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would the n take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials with out much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for a while.12. The first paragraph is presented by _____.A. giving an exampleB. making a comparisonC. asking questionsD. analyzing causes13. Why have scientists been working on space elevators?A. To make trips to space cheaper.B. To help astronauts do research in space.C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.14. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.A. the cableB. the equatorC. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable15. What may make the cable stay in place on the moon?A. The elevator car on the moon.B. The elevator fastened to the cable.C. The pull of gravity from the earth.D. The speed of the moon orbiting the earth.第二节:根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

APart-time jobs for 15and 16years oldsWaiter/WaitressA job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds．Not only can one earn 9-12 an hour，but they can also get the tips （小费）．Most people that visit a restaurant don't just have good food．They come here to relax and have a good time．Besides serving food quickly，a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant．Work in a libraryIf one is fond of books，working in a library is another suitable choice．Besides the pay is good，it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework．So on returning home，they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax．So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens，especially for school students．Internet jobsThere are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements，visiting sites and signing up with them．However，such online jobs don't pay well．A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys．These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/her opinions and ideas．Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers．21 What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress？______A. It needs a period of training．B. It pays much more than other jobs．C. It can improve one's leadership skills．D. Making diners comfortable is part of the job．22 A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______ ．A. in a restaurantB. in a libraryC. on the InternetD. in an IT company23 The writer wrote this text to ______ ．A. tell us the importance of doing part-time jobsB. advise teenagers how to choose a part-time jobC. teach young people how to make lots of moneyD. introduce his/her experience of doing part-time jobs24 Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys？______A. The teens have more free time．B. They can pay less to the teens．C. They need advice to make products for teens．D. The teens usually express their true opinions．BShe was known to millions as the “Queen of Crime” or the “Duchess(女公爵) of Death”. But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew nothing of the weapons most often used in murder. “I don't think I dare look at a really horrible and damaged body,” Agatha Christie once said.But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In her 50-year writing career, Christie's murder stories made her the world's best-known mystery writer. Only the Bible and Shakespeare have sold more copies than her.Her novels have been turned into films and TV series. This month, British ITV announced they will remake eight Christie films. “Her works have enduring(持久的) appeal for viewers,” said director Laura Mackie. “There is always an appetite for a really good whodunit(侦探小说).”Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing career while working as a nurse during World WarⅠ. She went on to produce 79 novels and numberous short stories, dying at the age of 86. With her knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies.Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, also introduced Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among the most popular are Murder on the Orient Express (1934), and Death on the Nile (1937).Poirot is a tidy little man with a funny-looking moustache, an egg-shaped head, and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the behavior of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others cannot see. Poirot has become so famous that someone has even written his biography, The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot.25 What's the main idea of the passage?A. It mainly tells readers how Agatha Christie took off on her way of writing.B. It's an introduction to main characters like Poirot in Agatha Christie's books.C. It mainly presents readers a picture of Agatha Christie's daily life in England.D. It is mainly an introduction of a famous British writer named Agatha Christie.26 What can we learn about Agatha Christie according to the passage?A. She was a famous writer known as the "Queen of Crime" or the "Duchess of Horror".B. She wrote works about violence because she was treated violently at a young age.C. Her books sell so well that the sales are only next to the Bible and Shakespeare.D. She became a teacher at police academies because of her knowledge of murder.27 Which of the following is NOT correct about Poirot?A. His moustache looks funny.B. His head looks like an egg.C. His behavior is very strange.D. He thinks highly of himself.28 We can conclude from the passage that .A. Agatha Christie was the world's best known mystery writer because of her mysterious lifeB. there are always some people interested in detective storiesC. Agatha Christie managed to write her first book during the period of the 2nd World WarD. Poirot was a main character in half of Agatha Christie's worksCYoung Mr. Smith had an idea for his employer. It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices. At the same time, he suggested that the company sell goods of lessvalue.If his employer liked the idea, he might be given more pay. Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.Business had been very slow. So Mr. Smith's employer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. "I am sorry, Smith," his employer said. "It just will not wash." Now, the meaning of these English words should be, "It will not get clean." Yet Smith's idea did not have anything to do with making something clean. So why did his employer say, "It will not wash?"Most word experts agree that "it will not wash" means it will not work. In 19th century of England, the expression meant an undependable statement. It was used mainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.Happily for the young employee, his employer wanted him to do well in the company. So the employer "talked turkey" to him. She said, "Your idea would be unfair to our buyers. Think of another way to save money."A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard(谷仓院场) were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt to teach something important.Mr. Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him. He was given an increase in pay. So if your idea "will not wash," try "talking turkey" to yourself and come up witha better idea.29 What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some advice on office work.B. To explore the meaning of two expressions.C. To share Mr. Smith’s personal experience.D. To tell about the development of the English language.30 The employer in the passage can be best described as ______.A. hard-workingB. unluckyC. honestD. cold-blooded31 Why did the employer refuse Mr. Smith’s idea?A. Because the idea would cost her much money.B. Because she knew Smith was trying to cheat her.C. Because she herself wanted to get a better job.D. Because the idea would do harm to the customers.32 You will most probably use the expression “talk turkey” when ____.A. you are at your friend’s birthday partyB. your friend has broken his promise to you.C. you are offered a better job by your bossD. you are hungry and want to get something to eatDWhenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there’s a natural impulse(冲动) to want to own and preserve it —which means, in this day and age, that we’re likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we’re likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest prompted us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to it one day.These problems were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography, when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock. The first person to notice them was the English art critic, John Ruskin. He was a traveller who realised that most tourists make a boring job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have an innate tendency to respond to beauty and wish to have it, but that there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s one thing we should do and that is attempt to draw the interesting things we see, no matter whether we have any talent for doing so.Ruskin was very upset by how seldom people notice details. He strongly disapproved of the travelle rs who prided themselves on covering Europe in a week by train. “If he be truly a man, no harm to go slow; for his glory is not at all in going, but in being.”33. What does the underlined word “prompted ” mean?A. make people decide to do something.B. encourage people to say.C. remind people of something.D. inspire people to ask questions.34. When taking pictures, people may___________.A. find a good way to store good memories in their mindsB. feel it hard to learn the skills of taking good photosC. ignore appreciating something attractive on the spotD. have chances to meet the challenge of new technology35. What made the travelling people proud of according to the last paragraph ?A. The long distance that they have covered.B. The happy hours that they have gone through.C. The advanced transport tool that they have taken.D. The great convenience that they have been offered.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

She does not want me in the school any longer.The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed(应该的) to smoke at all.As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the firefighters arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.The principal says that the fire was all my fault and that I must pay for the damage.

His parents had explained to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest .But Jerry paid no attention to them, and they didn't know what to do until one weekend when they were visiting Jerry's grandparents.Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said, “This sounds like a job for Tubb y.” So Jerry's parents loaded the cat onto the car and returned home.That night, at bedtime, the same problem happened. Jerry didn't want to go to bed, and even though his parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, nothing happened.Hours later, Jerry finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, totally sprawling(伸开四肢躺) out, and snoring like an express train.Jerry tried to move the cat, but there was no way of moving him an inch. That night he hardly slept, lying on one tiny corner of his bed.The next day the same thing happened, even though Jerry was much more tired from not having slept well. When the third day arrived, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed, he would have to get into it before Tubby did. That night, when his parents only stared to mention the topic of bedtime, Jerry rushed upstairs and dived into his bed. His parents could not believe it. They knew nothing about how Tubby slept in the room, nor did they understand why Jerry went to bed on time without complaint. They were so happy about this that they stayed up quite late, celebrating.8.

Nowadays the Internet provides people with a lot of information including reading materials. But if you read books in the smallest library in the world, you will feel quite different.The smallest library in the world first appeared on the streets in New York City. The little free libraryhad space for only one reader at a time. It was set up in a neighborhood in Manhattan(曼哈顿）.There are only 40 books in the library. In fact, it is not a house but a plastic structure(建筑物）.Two architects(建筑师），Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente designed it. The library was made of recycled materials, a plastic water tank and a wooden structure. It looks like an umbrella so that all the books in it can be protected from the bad weather. There are also some holes in the structure. They allow readers to look at the books before they go into the library.“We are interested in the recycled materials, but we think the most interesting part is giving old materials new functions,” said Mr Ertorteguy.Since the library was set up, it has attracted a lot of visitors. The idea came into being and started spreading all over the United States. Later some areas of Europe, Africa and Asia also followed the example.This library aims to help people take a break from the busy life by reading a good story.12.Where is the first smallest library in the world?A.

Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality(公国), though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.Facing the blue Mediterranean(地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince(王子) stands, and Monte Carlo(蒙特卡洛), which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population. Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.【1】Monaco is _____________.A．surrounded by FranceB．mostly visited by French touristsC． another name for Monte CarloD．more related to Italy than to France【2】Monaco has a population of _____________.A．more than 25,000B．over 20,000C．20,000 or so D．no more than 20,000【3】Which of the following is TRUE?A．The national income of Monaco depends mainly on France.B．Monaco does not have a seat in the UN because it is too small a country.C．Monaco is famous for having no soldiers or policemen of its own.D．Monte Carlo City seems more important for the existence of this principality.【4】The Head of Monaco is ___________.A．the KingB．a member of the royal family(王室)C．the President of FranceD．the Emperor2.“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive. Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration--a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.【1】We need _____for a healthy diet.A．fibre B．Water and different foodsC．water D．food【2】From the text, we know water can carry_________.A．energy and fibre in our bodiesB．fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodiesC．poisons and waste out of our bodiesD．sugar and fat out of our bodies【3】Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.A．it makes them hungryB．they think they are thirsty and eat lessC．water has no caloriesD．they think they are hungry and eat too much【4】Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A．The amount of water a person should drink in a day.B．Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.C．Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.D．Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.3.Our lifestyles today are very busy. We have family, school, sports, entertainment and social activities to fit intoa time that seems never enough. We need to be healthy to meet the demands of daily life.

I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently.“Come on，he is coming. Just lie down and relax.

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certainownership(所有权) of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing (投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money.No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.Going to the stock market is often like gambling (赌博).

People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Most Facebook users don’t realize thi s is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth. The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook— You could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names— were set by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics(批评家) think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them in the side of the pages totally, who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with the ir friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged(催促) the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking s ites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling(取消)my account.Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.【1】What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A．It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B．It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.C．It provides loads of personal information to its users.D．It earns money by putting on advertisements.【2】What does the author say about most Facebook users?A．They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B．They care very little about their personal information.C．They don’t identify themselves when using the website.D．They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.【3】Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A．To obey the Federal guidelines.B．To provide better service to its users.C．To improve its users’ connectionD．To expand its business.【4】Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A．He is dissatisfied with its present service.B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C．He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes.二、其他根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Remember that the joy of cycling tours is the ride itself.Get close to nature and see things you wouldn’t normally see when you were traveling by car or bus.And if you’re planning your journey in the summer,take plenty of water with you.You are advised to drink at least one liter of water every hour.If the weather isn’t very warm,make sure you take some warm clothes with you. And put them on when you stop riding.Even in cold weather you can become very warm when you’re riding and then it’s very easy to catch a cold,or even get a fever when you stop.。
