A
In China most people these days know what it means to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. In primary school the first English teacher will usually be a young and lovely lady. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards（识字卡），fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was confused and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my
father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And that’s why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who aroused my interest, gave me confidence and offered me much needed help.
56．Most pupils in China begin to learn English________.
A．from parents B．in primary school C．at home D．at three years old
57．The underline part “no other than my father” in the passage probably means________.

A．the girl hates her father because he was strict
B．the girl is very thankful to her father
C．the girl preferred playing to learning English
D．the father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand 59．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The girl’s father is her first English teacher.
B．The girl had been interested in English before going to school.
C．The girl’s father was always ready to help her with her English.
D．The girl could have learned English well by herself without her father. 60．What would be the best title for the passage?

There exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us tide through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we
would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
61. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.
A. it can pick up people' s spirits
B. it can help people get on well with others
C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world
D. it makes people more confident
62. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ___________.
A. facts and descriptions
B. evidence and argument
C. examples and conclusion
D. stories and persuasion
63. The underlined phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by __________.
A. keeping silent
B. speaking loud
C. laughing hard
D. explaining carefully
64. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.
A. talk about his own understanding of humor
B. encourage people to be humorous in daily life
C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life
D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life
65. What is the author' s attitude towards the present world?
A. Indifferent
B. Positive
C. Satisfied
D. Critical
C
When asked what they have done to help protect the environment, most people will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over–consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged
is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
66. T he underlined phrase “that over-con sumption” refer to______________.
A. Having more material than is needed．
B. Recycling too many wastes．
C. Making more products than necessary．
D. Using too much packaging．
67. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________．
A. the tendency of cutting household waste
B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of supermarkets
D. the fact of packaging overuse
68. According to the text, recycling ___________．
A. helps control the greenhouse effect
B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage
D. leads to a waste of land
69. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that____________.
A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality．
B. It is improper to judge quality by packaging．
C. Other products are better packaged than food．
D. Supermarkets care more about packaging．
70. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People like collecting recyclable wastes．
B. Needless material is mostly recycled．
C. Fighting wastefulness is difficult．
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture．
D
The majority of parents and children experience some tension with one another The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the pa st. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to show rebellion(叛逆) and selfishness but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discu ss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.”
Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 y ears, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
71. What is the popular image of teenagers today?
A. They hate living with their parents.
B. They are worried about school.
C. They often quarrel with other family members.
D. They have to be locked in the room to avoid troubles.
72. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______.
A. make family decisions
B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. share family responsibility
73. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents______.
A. care little about their children’s life
B. go to clubs more often together with their children
C. are much stricter with their children
D. give their children more space
74. According to the author, teenage rebellion ______.
A. is very common nowadays
B. may be a false belief
C. existed only in the 1960s
D. resulted from changes in families
75. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Harmony in family
B. Negotiation in family
C. Teenage trouble in family
D. Education in family.

Microwaves are usually used to warm up food, but what about warming people? Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm.) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a
frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm.
In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical. )
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.
76. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?
A. A new heating system.
B. A new microwave oven.
C. A popular technique.
D. The magnetron.
77. According to paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the
characteristics of a microwave heater?
A. It directly heats people in a room
B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C. It is safe.
D. It saves energy．
78. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth,
he receives about______.
A. 20 mw. / sq. cm.
B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.
C. 60 mw. / sq. cm.
D. 85 mw. / sq. cm
79. According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?
A. The magnetron.
B. A frozen meat pie.
C. The microwave oven.
D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.
80. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most
probably agree with?
A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.
B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to
protect their lambs in winter.
D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

Hello, everyone, I’d like to share my ideas about the topic of communicating with our friends.In the first place not only should we show respect for our friends but also it is necessary to trust them. With respect and trust given to them, they in return will certainly keep you whoever can be relied on, deepening your communication in some ways. Moreover, it’s good to have a chat with our friends at times, which will strengthen mutual understanding. Of course what we should pay more attention to is to put ourselves in their shoes, experiencing what they are thinking of and find out an appropriate way to communicate better. In one word, sincerity and consideration counts to make communication more smooth between our friends and us.
