Second, watch out for warning signs when visiting a website to avoid spreading virus.

The next day, I went to a sporting goods shop and bought a variety of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. I hoped these Christmas presents would not only light up their day, but also help protect them against injuries. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree with a note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas.For each Christmas, the envelope has become the tradition of our family. On Christmas morning, my son would stand with wide-eyed expectation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. Over the years, I had done many good deeds, ranging from helping out in orphanage to caring for the elderly innursing homes. Gradually, my son and husband followed suit. My envelope was joined by two more. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren.。

Mr John Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest –fach, near Swansea. “There was a trip to the White City, but it was ten shillings ’ return from Swansea —too much I thought. All my money went to the family the n,” he said. But when British Rail offered him an all –expense –paid birthday gift to the capital, he just could not refuse.He arrived at Paddington Station in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It ’s very exciting.Ther e ’s no doubt about it,” he said.Until yesterday he had never been far from home. “But I ’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Fracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked. During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament.The only arrangement he does not like is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don ’t like the chair —people will think I am getting old,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized —no wine, no tobacco and no anger.Before setting off from Swansea with his 76–year –old son, he said jokingly, “I ’m glad to see they ’ve given me a return ticket.”21. Mr. Evans didn ’t go to see the world becaus e he . A. had already been on the seas to Fracombe B. was too busy to go too far away from home C. couldn ’t afford both the time and money D. believed “East or west, home is the best ”22. Mr Evans didn ’t like the wheelchair because . A. he was not used to traveling in itB. the wheelchair was not easy to operateC. he preferred walking to sitting in it at homeD. he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip23. The probable explanation to Mr Evan s’ long life lies in .A. his good living habitsB. his hard working for the familyC. his sticking to his hometownD. his living conditions near the SwanseaBCatherine Destivelle is a rock star. She loves rock, but she can’t sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big starin France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the oldermembers of the club. She won her first competition in Italy in 1995.Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year.Peo ple always a sk her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because I’m in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so I’m never worried.”Catherine chooses new mountains from books—like buying from a shopping catalogue(目录)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan. She is going there next month. “It’s much bigger than the Dru, so it’s going to tak e longer to climb. An American climber, Jeff Lowe, is coming with me to help.”24. Catherine Destivelle is called ‘a star’ because ________.A. she won a competition in 1995B. she loves rocksC. she’s a famous woman climberD. she found a new route up to the Dru Mountain25. She had great trouble finding a new route up the Dru Mountain because _______.A. she lost her wayB. the climb took 11 daysC. she needed help from an American climberD. there was heavy snow26. On the side of a mountain she feels _______.A. independentB. easy and happyC. energetic and challengedD. nervous27. We can infer from the passage people often ask her “________”.A. Why do you like climbing?B. Are you in love with an American climber?C. Do you enjoy reading books on mountains?D. What do you do before you go climbing?CAt one time, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought the building, the food, the national dress there would be different from home. Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels which look like Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald’s, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and watching the same American movies and TV shows. Airports are the same everywhere and the world’s airlines are all flying the sameaircraft, Boeings or Airbuses.What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why do they travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation’s history that is its main attraction. Most of today’s tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words “c ultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.If they are lucky many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.Finally there is perhaps a nation’s greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, and it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people, and it is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.28. The passage is mainly about __________.A. the importance of tourismB. different foreign culturesC. how to plan an overseas tripD. why people travel to foreign countries29. The writer thinks that large cities in foreign countries __________.A. are similar to one anotherB. share the same aircraftC. do not have good hotelsD. do not offer a warm service to foreigners30.

But it is more and more common to find that the children are left in day –care centers or nursery schools while both parents work ._____32______. At home, household duties are shared in varying degrees by all family members .It is not unusual to find father cooking dinner, cleaning the living room or changing the baby . ___33___.Children have responsibilities, too .One of the goals of the Women’s Liberation Movement has been to have both men and women share in childcare, housework and financial responsibility. ___34__.The high cost of living has made it necessary for many women to have jobs outside the home ,but women often choose to have jobs in order to use their skills and education or to seek a more fulfilling and interesting life .Many American women enjoy the independence that an outside job and the salary givemen and even some women—sometimes are not for women working outside the home ,and in some cases ,a woman might be paid less than a man who performs the same job . __35__.A. As the roles of women have changed, so have men’sB. The woman may earn as much or more money than her husbandC. Mother might be outside mowing the lawn or washing the carD.

Detective Earl Blackman was to work on the case. Everyone was in the dark before an art professor came to point out the false picture. So the museum even didn’t know when the picture had been stolen. Thousands of people came to visit the museum every day. After long work, some art students were focused on.The five students who had made copies of the Renoir during the last six months were asked to bring their copies to the museum. The fifth student said she had sold her copy, which was later proved to be the one in the museum. She, however, could only remember the buyer was a man with the little finger on his left hand missing. Blackman went back and stayed in his office looking at all the pictures of known thieves. No success.The next afternoon, at about closing time, Blackman went to the museum to ask if the cleaning men were in the museum after everyone else had left. The director told him they had no cleaning man but six cleaning women.As the detective left the director’s office, he saw five cleaning women. He stopped one and asked about her work. Then came the sixth cleaning woman. She was dressed just like the other women except the gloves on her hands which made her different. Blackman watched her for some time. When she came near, Blackman caught her. The woman cried out in a man’s voice, “What was that?” Blackman was more sure.【1】Everything came to light ________________.A．when an art student was askedB．when the cleaning man came into the officeC．when Blackman looked at all the picturesD．when the cleaning woman cried【2】Arrange the following sentences in the right order.a. The museum asked for help.b. The four students showed their copies.c. An art professor came.d. The detective looked at all the pictures.e. The thief bought a picture.A．a-c-e-d-b B．c-a-d-s-b C．e-c-a-b-d D．e-a-b-d-c【3】Blackman caught the cleaning woman because of __________.A．the glove B．the clothes C．her sex D．her work2.Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the Earth.You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what a little we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “ accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（泄露的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It’s not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.【1】The underlined word “scrimping” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _____.A．saving B．cleaning C．cooking D．drinking【2】From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.A．protecting the environment begins with small choresB．protecting the environment should start from childhood.C．wonderful life comes from environmental protectionD．protecting the environment benefits the country and the people【3】Which of the following isn’t true?A．The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.B．Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.C．To protect the environment may help you save some money.D．Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A．The Use of Garbage DustbinB．How to Save Water and ElectricityC．How to Save the EnvironmentD．Our Current Environmental Problems3.By 2050 there will have been an extra 2.5 billion people on earth. And what will they eat?To solve the problem, we should have to double our food production. We can also develop a diet of algae（海藻）, insects and meat grown in laboratories.Algae can grow very quickly at sea, in polluted water and in places that would normally kill food crops. They are already eaten widely in Japan and China and they are eaten by almost everything from shrimps to blue whales. They can fix CO2 in the atmosphere and provide fats and sugars.Man-made meat looks like meat, feels like meat and it is meat, although it’s never been from a living, breathing animal. Instead, it is grown from cells in big containers. Moreover, studies show that producing man-made meat will use far less water, energy and land.China has developed “green super rice”, a series of rice types which produce more grain and have stronger ability to fight against floods, salty water, insects and disease. We used traditional plant breeding（作物育种）techniques to cross-breed more than 250 rice types. Green super rice, which is enough to feed an extra 100 million people, will be planted widely in the coming years.Insects like ants are not on most European menus but at least 1,400 kinds are eaten across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Now, with rising food prices and worldwide land shortages, such insects are getting more and more popular. Not only are many insects rich in protein（蛋白质）, low in fat and high in Ca and Fe, but insect farms need little space. And they can grow well on paper, algae and industrial wastes.【1】In order to exist in the future, people have to _______.A．move to other planetsB．produce rain in laboratoriesC．build new laboratories for food researchD．increase the food production or look for other food sources【2】From the second paragraph we know that _______A．algae have a strong life forceB．few people eat algae nowC．algae have few values for human beingsD．algae can pollute our environment【3】Green super rice _______A．has to be watered with salty waterB．can grow even in a bad environmentC．includes no more than 250 rice kindsD．was developed with new technologies【4】What can we learn from the passage?A．Green super rice is delicious but high in price.B．In Asia about 100 million people may be faced with food shortages.C．Man-made meat doesn’t look like meat but has the same taste as real meat.D．One of the reasons why many people begin to eat insects is their rich food value.4.It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.I was nurse on duty that day. I didn’t think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body lang uage of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.Something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything but explain ed that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm here.”On a hunch (出于直觉), I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address---they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The little one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the Christmas tree.I went back to the nurses’ stati on and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, grumbling about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmasemergency.We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four year old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”【1】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Working Christmas DayB．Christmas Day is ComingC．A Happy FamilyD．A Pale Woman and Four Small Children【2】What kind of person do you think the author is?A．Hardworking and outgoingB．Serious and carefulC．Hardworking and warmheartedD．Serious and stubborn【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Something was wrong with one of the children’s heads.B．The pale woman forgot to write the address.C．The author did not understand the truth.D．The children’s mother told a lie.【4】It can be inferred from the text that______.A．The author didn’t think there would be any patients on Christmas DayB．The woman was uncomfortable when she lowered her headC．The family appeared in the emergency room on Christmas EveD．The woman and four small children were satisfied and grateful四、其他Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study published two years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influence like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for all that they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age. In a study published this year, people in theireighties reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults. The study, led by Michael Grander at the University of Pennsylvania, appeared in the journal Sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.五、书面表达众所周知，这些年我国经济发展迅速，可是环境污染也越来越严重，发展经济与环境保护之间的关系问题一直为社会各界所关注。

Do most men hate shopping with women? Forum (论坛)readers share their opinions.YinsXZ (US)Hey, that is an absolutely nice idea. I like it. It also makes it easier for women who have lots of bags to be able to drop them off at the nursery for boyfriends to watch over while they return to shop for more! Set it up with wifi too and you have a perfect hang out spot. And most importantly, don' t have to wait for complaints from the woman when I stop to look at computers or tools!SunnylinOl (China)Most women like shopping while most men don' t. Men generally don' t spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. They know what they want,get in, buy them and get out, 10-15 minutes and they' re done. This is quite different from how a woman shops. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. The trying will spend hours.Seneca (a foreigner in China)Many women view shopping as an entertaining way to get down from high stress levels. My wife is one of those. Stress comes too naturally to her; driving a car, doing her job, dealing with workmates all lead to some rising of her stress level. So shopping ideally happens every day. For me, that amount of shopping is stressful.Blonde Amber (Ireland)Some men take hours comparing products, trying things out, finding sales prices. They don' t always know what they want but enjoy just looking. Men can shop the same as women for things they are interested in and spend hours doing it. Equally not all women like shopping and go in, 10-15 minutes and they are done. People are not black and white, and don' t fit into boxes.56.According to forum readers, which is Not the benefit of opening a u husband nursery" ?A.Men can escape the complaints from women.B.Women can enjoy shopping more with bags left in men' s care.C.Women can finish their shopping in a shorter time.D.Men can relax themselves when women are shopping.57.Which saying below can best describe SunnylinOl and Seneca' s opinion?A.One man' s meat is another man' s poison.B.Joy and sorrow are next-door neighbors.C. A good wife makes a good husband.D.Experience is the mother of wisdom.58.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that .A.black people and white people are different in sizeB.people with different skins have different viewsC.people shouldn' t draw general conclusion blindlyD.shopping is not suitable for all kinds of people2、Driving Offence Points SystemWhat is Driving Offence Points System?After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment.

Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture that is doing it for love and passion.Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online. Blogs are basically online journals or diaries which are created for sharing information and ideas.Dominic, a fifth-grade student, writes: "The blogs give us a chance to communicate between ourselves and inspire us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the entire world can respond by using the 'comments' link. In this way, they canask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this indicates to us where we can improve. By reading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is an opportunity to exchange our points of view with the rest of the world rather than just people in our immediate environment. ”Blogging is sweeping the Internet. A recent report noted that at least three million Americans have created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.Two years ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web page himself and used "Blogger, com" to publish some daily musings （冥想）to a readership （读者人数）of a few hundred. He worked hard at the blog for months for no financial reward. But the result is that he is now reaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a profit.Think about it for a minute: Why not build an online presence with your daily musings and then tell your first book through print-on-demand （POD） technology direct from your Web site? Why should writers go to newspapers and magazines to get an essay published when they can simply write it themselves, change it into a PDF file, and charge a few bucks per download?This, at least, is the idea: a publishing revolution more profound than anything since the printing press, ^Blogger, com" could be to words what Napster was to music一except this time, it' 11 really work.62.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Blogs are mainly online chatting with others.B.Blogging is important in the past few years.C.Dominic wants to get a chance to be a writer.D.Blogging makes us exchange our view only with friends63.According to the passage, about people worldwide have created blogs except Americans.A. 250, 000B. 750, 000C. 3 millionD. 6 million64.From the passage we can see that "Napster" in the last paragraph is probably related to .A. newspapersB. readersC. wordsD. music65.What would be the best title of this passage?A. What is BloggingB. Blog is Your FavoriteC. Blogging Goes Mainstream （主流）D. A Publishing Revolution4、If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses, would this make you feel good? The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another一and some of us do it pretty often. It's a sure-fire recipe for a drop in self-confidence and for unhappiness. So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others? Here are some tips I've found useful.Awareness.Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we're doing it. It's a natural act, I suppose. So the solution is to become aware. If you focus on these thoughts for a few days, it will become much easier with practice, and soon it'11 be hard not to notice.Stop yourself.Once you realize you，re making these comparisons, stop yourself. Don，t feel bad一just admit the thought, and gently change the focus.Count your blessings.Focus on what you do have, and on what you are already blessed with. Count what you have, not what you don，t have. Think about how lucky you are to have what you have, to have the people in your life who care about you. If you always want what others have, you will never have enough. You will always want more. That's an endless cycle, and it will never lead to happiness. Instead, learn to realize that what you have is already enough.Focus on your strengths.Instead of looking at your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are. Be proud of them. Work on using them to your best advantage.No one is perfect一we all know that. But we seem to feel bad when we don，t reach perfection. You aren，t perfect and you never will be. Keep trying to improve, butdon，t think you，11 ever be the "perfect person”. If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are, you are already perfect.五、书面表达（共1题）1、随着高科技的发展，网络为越来越多的人所使用，不同的人有不同的看法，针对其利弊, 人们展开了激烈的讨论：With the rapid development of the Internet, it has been influencing our daily life tremendously.

And people' s opinions vary in the light of its effects.Some people are convinced that the Internet plays an active role in our lives since we can benefit a lot from it. Firstly, it is more convenient than ever before for people to search for all sorts of information they need. Meanwhile, the Internet has greatly shortened the distance among human beings, and helps build social bonds between people. What, s more, people can turn to the Internet for help when they have problems.However, others assume that the Internet has a negative effect on people' s lives. Uncontrolled information on the Internet, such as crime and violence, may do great harm to teenagers. Addicted to paying computer games, some students feel worn out and absent-minded in class. What, s worse, not all the information on the Internet is accurate, which may lead to people being taken in by false information.From my perspective, Internet itself is neither right nor wrong. Only if we take theright attitude towards surfing the Internet can we benefit from it. Nobody can hold back the progress pace of the Internet. If we resisted it, we would certainly lag behind others. What we should do is to take full use of its advantages and try to avoid the harms it may bring as well.六、未分类1、c。

Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen, Denmark on Dec.7th with some 15,000 delegates and observers from nearly countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat(与……战斗) global warming.Their aim is to find common ground, including on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, promotion and transfer of new more eco-friendly technology and the necessary funding to make this possible, especially for the less developed and poorer nations. It also means coming up with long term vision and cooperation for the future.Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity, especially the use of fossil fuels(矿物燃料) and the cutting down of forests. Skeptics(怀疑论者) say global warming is part of a natural cycle of climate change.In Copenhagen, experts and officials alike are putting the emphasis on what people and governments can do to cut the emission of greenhouse gases.Scientists say a 25 to 40 percent cut in carbon-dioxide emissions is needed to control global warming. The European Union, China, and India have already pledged(保证) reductions. The United States is waiting for Congressional(国会的) approval for a proposal put forward by the Obama administration.Barack Obama, President of the United States said, “Each of us must do what we can when we can to grow our economies without endangering our planet -- and we must all do it together. We must seize the opportunity tomake Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change..”Desmond Tutu, Archbishop of South Africa said, “Worldwide, we have the chance to start turning the tide of climate change, but only if all governments commit themselves to a fair, binding(有约束力的) and sustainable climate agreement in Copenhagen.”56. From the first paragraph we can infer that___________.A.people think that this conference is of no useB.this conference is the last one to be held about the climate changeC.before this conference some countries fight against each other.D.people expect a final agreement will be achieved57. Which is NOT included in the aim of this conference?A. To reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases.B. To develop the agriculture and industry of the developed countries.C. To cooperate with each other for the future.D. To transfer new more eco-friendly technology.58. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. The United States refuses to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.B. The European Union is waiting for a proposal put forward by Obama.C. China and India have already agreed to cut carbon-dioxide emissions.D. So uth Africa doesn’t think much of this conference.59. What is Obama’s attitude according to his words?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. Regretful.60. _________is the reason of global warming according to the skeptics.A. Human activityB. Fossil fuelsC. The cutting down of treesD. Natural climate changeBA new college guide in the United States compares educational requirements in seven subjects. These include math, science, writing and United States history or government. The other subjects are economics, foreign language and literature.The free online guide is from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. The council is a nonprofit group that supports liberal arts education.Its president, Anne Neal, says these areas of knowledge are needed to succeed in a twenty-first century society andan increasingly connected world. Yet she told VOA’s Faiza Elmasry it was surprising how many students can graduate with, in her words, a “thin education.”Forty-two of the one hundred colleges and universities surveyed received the lowest marks. This meant they required two or fewer of the seven subjects. Five schools received a top grade for requiring six subjects. These were Brooklyn College in New York City, Texas A&M, the University of Texas-Austin, West Point and the University of Arkansas.Robert Costrell is a professor of education reform and economics at the University of Arkansas. He says many, if not all, of the top American colleges once had a core curriculum —a set of courses required for all students.But over the years, many have dropped these requirements. Or they have watered them down, Professor Costrell says, into what became known as distribution requirements. This system lets a student choose from a number of different courses to satisfy a requirement.ROBERT COSTRELL: “And in many cases these courses went too far, I would say, towards the fluffy treatment of serious material, and students could satisfy their requ irement by taking such courses.”Professor Costrell says schools should not only re-examine what they teach. They should also measure what students have learned — for example, through some form of examinations or papers.A new report this week from the College Board showed that college prices continue to rise. But Anne Neal from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni says higher prices. do not guarantee a better general education. In fact, the group found that the higher the tuition, the more likely that students have to develop their own general education.The college guide is on the Web at . Anne Neal says her group is surveying more colleges. The hope, she says, is to discover what college graduates have really learned, and how ready they are to compete in the global marketplace.61. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A scientific fiction.B. A research newspaper.C. A fashion magazine.D. An entertainment newspaper.62. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni does all the following EXCEPT _________.A. support liberal arts educationB. concern itself with education in AmericaC. devote time to helping improve college educationD. make money by helping with college education63. The words “watered them down” underlined in Paragraph 6 most likely mean “_______.”A. reduced required coursesB. improved required coursesC. increased required coursesD. developed required courses64. In this passage, the new college guide mainly tells its readers that American colleges should _____.A. meet the requirements of the new centuryB. reduce the number of required coursesC. have different standards on required coursesD. cut down on their tuitionsCFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned a way. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.65. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.A. they have gained experienceB. they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are calm in face of danger66. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Too much fear is harmfulB. Fear is always something helpfulC .Fear is something that can be avoided D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life67.The best title for this passage should be __________.A. No Pains, No GainsB. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of Fear D .The Reason Why People FearDIf you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, you’re sadly mistaken.Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the week—making it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpool. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”“Temperatures will be between 5℃and 8℃, which is below average for the start of spring.”The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday.Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9℃. But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.Overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3℃for the next three nights.“It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years.Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK’s average 1.5℃, making it the deepest freeze since 1978—79.It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.Following the two mistakes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britain’s size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.68. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _______.A. dry but cloudyB. sunny but chillyC. sunny and warmD. cloudy and chilly69. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. British people can put away their winter clothes now.B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range.C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate.D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The big chill isn’t over yetB. A warm spring finally arrivesC. A heavy snow is on the wayD. The Met Office drops forecasts五.任务型阅读（10分）Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, powerlines and wi-fi (路由器) could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumours.For example, Camilla Rees, 48, a former investment banker in the US, moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door. Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her ability to think clearly. “I would wake up dizzy in the morning. I’d fall to the floor. I had to leave to escape that nightmare,” she said. Since then, she’s been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields, or EMFs（低频电磁场）.And she’s not alone. Millions of people say they suffer from headaches, d epression, nausea and rashes when they’re too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs.Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat, governments are still concerned. In fact, last April, the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFs. The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones.If these fears are reasonable, then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots.Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia. Also there’s a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumours.But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑). Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” said Linet. “We don't have the evidence thatthere’s much danger.”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all.A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several ye ars. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group.According to Robert Park, a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US, the magnetic waves aren’t nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA, which is how known threats, such as UV rays and X-rays, cause cancer.Perhaps it’s just psychological. Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome, which is a condition that’s considered to be psychol ogical.Whether EMFs are harmful or not, a break in the countryside, without the cellphone, would probably be good for all of us.六．单词拼写（5分）81.

Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen, Denmark on Dec.7th with some 15,000 delegates and observers from nearly 200 countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat(与……战斗) global warming.Their aim is to find common ground, including on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, promotion and transfer of new more eco-friendly technology and the necessary funding to make this possible, especially for the less developed and poorer nations. It also means coming up with long term vision and cooperation for the future.Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity, especially the use of fossil fuels(矿物燃料) and the cutting down of forests. Skeptics(怀疑论者) say global warming is part of a natural cycle of climate change.In Copenhagen, experts and officials alike are putting the emphasis on what people and governments can do to cut the emission of greenhouse gases.Scientists say a 25 to 40 percent cut in carbon-dioxide emissions is needed to control global warming. The European Union, China, and India have already pledged(保证) reductions. The United States is waiting for Congressional(国会的) approval for a proposal put forward by the Obama administration.Barack Obama, President of the United States said, “Each of us must do what we can when we can to grow our economies without endangering our planet -- and we must all do it together. We must seize the opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change..”Desmond Tutu, Archbishop of South Africa said, “Worldwide, we have the chance to start turning the tide of climate change, but only if all governments commit themselves to a fair, binding(有约束力的) and sustainable climate agreement in Copenhagen.”56. From the first paragraph we can infer that___________.A.people think that this conference is of no useB.this conference is the last one to be held about the climate changeC.before this conference some countries fight against each other.D.people expect a final agreement will be achieved57. Which is NOT included in the aim of this conference?A. To reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases.B. To develop the agriculture and industry of the developed countries.C. To cooperate with each other for the future.D. To transfer new more eco-friendly technology.58. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. The United States refuses to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.B. The European Union is waiting for a proposal put forward by Obama.C. China and India have already agreed to cut carbon-dioxide emissions.D. South Africa doesn’t think much of this conference.59. What is Obama’s attitude accor ding to his words?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. Regretful.60. _________is the reason of global warming according to the skeptics.A. Human activityB. Fossil fuelsC. The cutting down of treesD. Natural climate changeBA new college guide in the United States compares educational requirements in seven subjects. These include math, science, writing and United States history or government. The other subjects are economics, foreignlanguage and literature.The free online guide is from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. The council is a nonprofit group that supports liberal arts education.Its president, Anne Neal, says these areas of knowledge are needed to succeed in a twenty-first century society and an increasingly connected world. Yet she told VOA’s Faiza Elmasry it was surprising how many students can graduate with, in her words, a “thin education.”Forty-two of the one hundred colleges and universities surveyed received the lowest marks. This meant they required two or fewer of the seven subjects. Five schools received a top grade for requiring six subjects. These were Brooklyn College in New York City, Texas A&M, the University of Texas-Austin, West Point and the University of Arkansas.Robert Costrell is a professor of education reform and economics at the University of Arkansas. He says many, if not all, of the top American colleges once had a core curriculum —a set of courses required for all students.But over the years, many have dropped these requirements. Or they have watered them down, Professor Costrell says, into what became known as distribution requirements. This system lets a student choose from a number of different courses to satisfy a requirement.ROBERT COSTRELL: “And in many cases these courses went too far, I would say, towards the fluffy treatment of serious material, and students could satisfy their requirement by taking such courses.”Professor Costrell says schools should not only re-examine what they teach. They should also measure what students have learned — for example, through some form of examinations or papers.A new report this week from the College Board showed that college prices continue to rise. But Anne Neal from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni says higher prices. do not guarantee a better general education. In fact, the group found that the higher the tuition, the more likely that students have to develop their own general education.The college guide is on the Web at . Anne Neal says her group is surveying more colleges. The hope, she says, is to discover what college graduates have really learned, and how ready they are to compete in the global marketplace.61. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A scientific fiction.B. A research newspaper.C. A fashion magazine.D. An entertainment newspaper.62. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni does all the following EXCEPT _________.A. support liberal arts educationB. concern itself with education in AmericaC. devote time to helping improve college educationD. make money by helping with college education63. The words “watered them down” underlined in Paragraph 6 most likely mean “_______.”A. reduced required coursesB. improved required coursesC. increased required coursesD. developed required courses64. In this passage, the new college guide mainly tells its readers that American colleges should _____.A. meet the requirements of the new centuryB. reduce the number of required coursesC. have different standards on required coursesD. cut down on their tuitionsCFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldierbecause he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.65. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.A. they have gained experienceB. they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are calm in face of danger66. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Too much fear is harmfulB. Fear is always something helpfulC .Fear is something that can be avoided D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life67.The best title for this passage should be __________.A. No Pains, No GainsB. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of Fear D .The Reason Why People FearDIf you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, you’re sadly mistaken.Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the week—making it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpool. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”“Temperatures will be be tween 5℃and 8℃, which is below average for the start of spring.”The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday.Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9℃. But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.Overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3℃for the next three nights.“It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years.Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK’s average 1.5℃, making it the deepest freeze since 1978—79.It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.Following the two mistakes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will insteadpublish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britain’s size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.68. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _______.A. dry but cloudyB. sunny but chillyC. sunny and warmD. cloudy and chilly69. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. British people can put away their winter clothes now.B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range.C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate.D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The big chill isn’t over yetB. A warm spring finally arrivesC. A heavy snow is on the wayD. The Met Office drops forecasts五.任务型阅读（10分）Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, powerlines and wi-fi (路由器) could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumours.For example, Camilla Rees, 48, a former investment banker in the US, moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door. Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her abil ity to think clearly. “I would wake up dizzy in the morning. I’d fall to the floor. I had to leave to escape that nightmare,” she said. Since then, she’s been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields, or EMFs（低频电磁场）.And she’s not alone. Millions of people say they suffer from headaches, depression, nausea and rashes when they’re too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs.Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat, governments are still concerned. In fact, last April, the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFs. The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones.If these fears are reasonable, then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots.Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia. Also there’s a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumours.But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑). Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” said Linet. “We don't have t he evidence that there’s much danger.”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all.A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group.According to Robert Park, a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US, the magnetic waves aren’t nearly powerful enough to break apa rt DNA, which is how known threats, such as UV rays and X-rays, cause cancer.Perhaps it’s just psychological. Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similarto chemical sensitivity syndrome, which is a condition that’s conside red to be psychological.Whether EMFs are harmful or not, a break in the countryside, without the cellphone, would probably be六．单词拼写（5分）81.

Some students live a very expensive life. They have the same hairstyles as their favorable stars and wear top brand of clothes and shoes. Some use expensive mobile phones.The reasons why they do so are as follows. Firstly, they hope to look smart and special. Secondly, they want to win others’ admiration and respect. In addition, it makes them feel cool .As far as I am concerned, we students should hold the right sense of values. We should practice thr ift in our daily life because it is one of our Chinese traditional virtues. What’s more , it is advisable for us to donate some pocket money to the Hope Project so that those poor children in rural areas can return to school to receive normal education. Last but not least, it is the inner beauty rather than our appearance that makes us respectable.。
