“Mom, can I bake some bread?〞We were 15, my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our hands at creating some beautiful bread.
“It’s not worth the trouble,〞my mother said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.〞
Begging was useless. Mom’s “no〞meant “No!〞
But several weeks later, opportunity knocked: My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour then beat in four of the eggs, one at a time,
with remaining sugar and salt.〞
We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
“Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it.〞
We took turns working like that. “Is the dough ‘holding together’?〞we asked each other.
I remembered my neighbor’s instructions: “If it’s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.〞We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
“Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,〞the recipe instructed.
We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers.
“Clean and oil bowl, then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in warm place for 1 hour.〞
This was good news --- we’d have a break. On dirtied kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See?〞we would tell my mom. “Isn’t it worth the work?〞
Hanna and I could n’t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing was happening.
“Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,〞I said.
Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it right.
56. To the writer, what her mother said was __________.
A. law
B. rubbish
C. advice

58. Which of the following did the writer do without instructions?
A. Placed dough on floured surface.

Women turn to online shopping
Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US.
For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming〞，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study.
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and
29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic〔显著的〕increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in ．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，〞said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，〞Hess said.
60．Which of the following statements is true?
A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in ．
B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
D．More women shopped online than men in .
61．From the passage we can infer that________.
A．men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B．women usually decide what to buy in the family
C．the Internet is used in all the shops.
D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.
62．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.
A．is unsafe B．is convenient C．is a waste of time D．is cheaper
63．What can we know from the passage?
A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.
B．Shopping online is fun for women.
C．Shopping off-line provides better service.
D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.

Most, if not all, Chinese have become richer thanks to 28 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?
Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences’ Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures.
But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.
Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury〔奢望〕for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.
The most common one, however, is a low sense of security (平安). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?
It may be beyond the government’s reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.
64. From the second paragraph we learn _____________________.
A. 70 % of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their future
B. the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the same
C. the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in
D. the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people
65. The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _________.
A. security
B. environment
C. wealth
D. employment
66. The underlined word “countrymen〞in Paragraph 3 refers to ___________.
A. people from the countryside
B. people from cities
C. people from all countries
D. Chinese citizens
67. According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _________.
A. the wealthier we get, the happier we become
B. though we get wealthier, we do not feel happier
C. it is the government’s duty to raise every citizen’s income
D. the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of security

Testing has taken the place of teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test.
Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon〔现象〕. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment〔评价〕to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.
The ability to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition〔习得〕of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can’t see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grades that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary. 金太阳新课标资源网
68. The author mentions Erica’s performance in her study in order to show_________.
A. her cleverness in test taking
B. the good way to take tests
C. the improper way of teaching
D. the best way to read textbooks
69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The teachers are curious about teaching to the test.
B. Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students.
C. Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests.
D. Preparations for a test of a skill do not mean the acquisition of that skill.
70. In the author’s opinion, __________.
A. some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests
B. more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught
C. students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking
D. students needn’t learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding
71. By “crisis of comprehension〞(in Paragraph 4) the author means many students ______.
A. are too much concerned with grades
B. fail to understand the real goal of education
C. lack proper practice in grammar drills
D. do well on tests but can’t understand what they read

Attention, please, I’m going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether we should go online in our spare time．
On the other hand, a few students partly agree to this idea. Going online is part of our daily life but they suggest a time limit. They’ve found that more students are playing computer games instead of studying their lessons. There’re also a few students who are often absent from school for days to go online．
I think we should make proper use of the Internet．
That’s all. Thank you．。
