Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’ opinions or pay too much attention to details.As we all know, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.As for those who are unintentionally late, like Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you make appointments with others, make sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, make good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.附-1—评分标准1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。

ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along my iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vac ation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail and Twitter, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―I don’t need it,‖ I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed .I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.2. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet for everD. stop checking what is being said right now completely3. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic （全景）windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies（水稻梯田）and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip —which covers about 50 miles —the train winds through the thick jungle and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.4.

The Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route starts in Cuzco and ends in Machu Picchu.CDid you know that many people today are getting extra work by taking translating jobs online? It’s true! And you can do it too. Many companies in the USA need translators now to translate simple documents online from Chinese to English, such as emails, website content, movie subtitles and more.Companies like Real Translator Jobs are actively seeking translators from China to fill demand. There are more translation jobs than people to complete them. This leaves a big opportunity for anyone to start doing this and earn extra money.Do you have to speak perfect English? No! Even basic knowledge of English is OK. This is really a job for anyone from China who wants to do it.We spoke to one student from Beijing, Harris, who has been doing this for 2 years now and is earning between $150 and $225 every day. He completes about 3 to 4 jobs per day which takes him about 3 hours. It’s an incredible amount ofmoney to earn !It is great that we now live in the ―Information Age‖ and opportunities like this are available to people in China to earn extra money working from home over the Internet. This type of work is surely to do great things for young people in China.If you would also like to do this, it’s easy to get started. Just follow these steps:1. Sign up at Real Translator Jobs (where Chinese translators are needed now), or a similar service.2. Review the job posting and complete the ones you like.3.

Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basic sleep need and sleep debt. Basicsleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.12. Most people spent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?A. One third of the timeB. More than half of the timeC. One fourth of the timeD. More than 5 hours every day13. Which of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?A. Car accidents.B. Putting on weight.C. Heart problems.D. Review learning things.14. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Why We Need SleepB. REMSleep and Basic SleepC. Sleep Causes ProblemsD. How Much Sleep We Need15. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.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。

pulls out his textbooks and starts studying．He now holds 15 bachelors or master's degrees from universities across Italy，and is already attempting his 16th．"Thanks to books，I feel free，"he tells the BBC journalists．"After all，the words share the same root，"he says，referring to the Italian words libro （book）and libero （free）．The certificates proving his talent hang on the walls of his study，showing people thathe was writing new pages in the Guinness Book of Records．In 2002 he got his eighth degree in motor skills．And before that he already had degrees in sociology，literature，law，political science and philosophy，most from Rome's famous La Sapienza University，one of the oldest in the world．Since then，he has added seven other degrees to his list，including one Ln criminology（犯罪学），one in military strategies and the latest one in tourism this month．All of these three were from online universities．"Each time I set myself a new challenge to

never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary，"And with that，my adventure started．My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary．Going on an exchange had always been my dream．When my high school offered an all﹣year program，I jumped at the opportunity．It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was get a plane ticket．I knew where I wanted to go：Spain，the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses．So when I heard that I was going to Hungary，I was pretty shocked．But I decided to make the best of it，since it was，after all，a once﹣in﹣a﹣lifetime opportunity．Before I knew it，I was on the airplane，leaving for Budapest International Airport，Hungary．I had times when I almost gave up．Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet，Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me．I had to give up eating carrots，my beautiful favorite，for they think carrots are rubbish in their country．The change in the landscape was amazing，looking nothing like skyscrapers，bullet trains，cars，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to．Gradually，I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle，the warm﹣hearted people，and getting home at 2：30p．m．at the latest from school．And I was sad to leave on my very last day．Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I've ever experienced．From my little sisters，I learned how to embrace life to its fullest．From my brothers I learned that it's OK for a boy to run around the house．From my host parents I learned to stay positive，to smile，and that when you pick the right persons and take their hands，suddenly，you become friends．28．How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary？A．Excited and

leave．C．He was surprised by the landscape．D．He quickly got used to the Life there．31．According to Jonathan，the host family．A．changed him completelyB．taught him how to dance wellC．treated him as equally as a studentD．showed him the good things of life．14．（8分）The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl，yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards．When somebody asks her，"How do you hear？"She responds，"How do you hear？Is it only with your ears？"For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，it is understanding．We need to listen to what is said and unsaid，and also how it is said．It's important to hear what people say accurately．As Mark Twain said，"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug（萤火虫）．"If you miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately，ask the speakers．At this point you're not evaluating，just looking for accuracy and understanding．Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say．Why are they saying this now，instead of sooner or later？Why are they emphasizing these points，instead of something else？Listen to how it is said．People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say．While going through the next points，think about someone whose real meaning you mightsometimes miss，and see if any of these signals might come up．First，voices．When others speak，notice changes in their volume，pace，and tone．Second，body language．Notice gestures，eye contact，and facial expressions．Do these sync what they are saying，or do they tell a different story？Third，emotions．What is the person apparently feeling？Now you might not know for sure，but be considerate，open to understanding，and ask thoughtful questions．32．What's the writer's purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie？A．To give an example of wise words．B．To introduce a world﹣famous musician．C．To help explain the meaning of listening．D．To encourage us to fight against disability．33．What can we learn from what Mark Twain said？A．It is important to have a good knowledge of English words．B．People should know words can be used in many different ways．C．English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary．D．The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding．34．What does the underlined word"sync"probably mean？A．Match．B．Prove．C．Describe．D．Analyze．35．Which is the best title of this passage？A．Speak While You ListenB．Listen Beyond WordsC．Read Between LinesD．Think As You Talk．第二节（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。

Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.1.

He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places. Once helost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86.

Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men . A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射). At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated(复杂的) when there are two separate sexes!11.Women are called the weaker sex because ______ .A.women do as much as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together12.Which of the following is true?A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.C.

What problems does sport have?A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athletes are give hormone injections.C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.15. In this passage the author implies that ______A.women are weaker than wen , but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than women第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Have you ever had a wonderful idea and thought it would make a great invention, but didn’t know what to do next? 16 They will help you make your dreams come true and become a famous inventor.The first thing that you should do is do some research on the Internet to see if anyone else has invented it.

A Films provide more than just entertainment．For many peo ple, watching English films is a way to develop language skills ．While watching a film，you are immersed（沉浸在）in the language and can pick up new expressions that you mi ght not find in a textbook．Some difficulties can arise when w atching English films-for example，unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents．Wit h this in mind，here are my tips to help you make progress in English learnin g while enjoying the films．Choose a film genre类型) that you enjoy.If you like action films，watch an action film-for example Indiana Jones．If you prefer comedies，watch a comedy-anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh！It's simple enough，but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language，you're more likely to enjoy it in English．Choose something that you are familiar with.It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of understanding the film．Disney films such as The Lion King，or the more recently released Tangled，are classic examples．Other cartoons such as Up and The L ego Movie are also worth a watch．Ask friends for advicePerhaps you have friends who have already seen English film ?If so ,they may be able to recommend oneIf you need to，use the English subtitlesSubtitles are very helpful for beginners．using subtitles in y our own language is the easiest choice，but for more advanced learners why not consider using Englis h subtitles？This way，you can match the written subtitles to the words spoken on .s creen．It helps you to develop your language further.1.

Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were give n all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person w orks with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and mil k before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakf ast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end u p gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.5.

But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to rea d until he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Ox ford University, where he studied physics, and that only the di agnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Professor Hawking said：“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she wa s definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptio nal at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of s omething better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized h im into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that r esulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, itmakes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”9. What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?A. Patience.B. Knowledge.C. Disease. D. Laziness.10.

Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly the Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.12.

But a phone call years ago found him a new career.“I got a random phone call one day，” he says. “They asked me if I could make a picture in somebody's lawn(草坪), and I thought: ‘well, you can make a picture out of anythin g, can't you？’” As a result, the finished masterpiece ended u p in the newspapers and, before he knew it, Naylor had a new profession: lawn artist.With a background in art, rather than gardening, battling natur e was a new experience for Naylor when he started. “It was a new challenge and it was very hard to research lawn art. How do you do it? There's not much of it out there. So I had to wor k out how it would work, and what I'd need.” He says.As a lawn artist, however, there is no room for error. And ther e's no time to wait for the grass to grow back again if it all goe s wrong. So Naylor has to get it right for the first time. “If you a ccidentally cut the wrong bit off, you can't just patch(修补) it up again. You can't start again.”“Planning is key，” he says. “Grass is not a nice artistic mediu m. It's not very easy to handle.” Besides, lawn art may be imp ressive, but it only happens during the summer. “The rest of my year, I'm painting or using pens, pencils—normal things.”He may have cut out a new professional field, but he sees it li ke any other art project. “When you become a lawn artist, youhave to say yes to any challenge.”However, as the rain falls over each new artwork, the grass s oon grows back and the image is quickly lost. “That's the ann oying thing about nature，” says Naylor.5．How was Naylor's first art work in the lawn?A．It was only a small one. B．It was difficult to create. C．It made him famous. D．It was created in winter. 6．What matters most to a lawn artist?A．Accuracy. B．Opportunity. C．Knowledge. D．Courage .7．What can we infer about lawn art?A．It has a long history. B．It can be created randomly. C．Rain is a help to the lawn art. D．It is a combination of ar t and gardening.CThe days of staring at the computer screen pretending to take an interest in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and ev en react to it in real time.But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading you r mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or eve n a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions li ke moving a mouse or using the remote, but sensitive hardly noticeable movements like scratching. Researcher Witchel sa ys the level of movement directly shows how absorbed the pe rson is in what he/she is reading or watching—the higher the interest level, the less the movement!To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to r eading documents like the EU banking regulations that most p eople would find boring.A video motion (动作) tracker monitored their movements as they powered throu gh each assignment. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased remarkably, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they w ere reading or seeing.Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that applying the motion detec ting technology to future computers will help improve the digit al learning experience.The scientists say being able to judge the student's interest le vel will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time a nd reengage the student. Witchel also believes that the techn ology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 8．Which movement does the machine keep track of? A．Breathing. B．Typing. C．Scratching. D．Walking. 9．What might people's high level of movement indicate durin g TVwatching?A．They are getting excited. B．They are feeling bored. C．They are very interested. D．They are thinking actively. 10．How did the researchers come to the conclusion?A．By a followup survey. B．By analysing previous data. C．By means of questionnaires. D．By observing participant s' performance.11．Which field will detecting technology be applied to? A．Agriculture. B．Politics. C．Industry. D．Education.DThis month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt , proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and gover n how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driv erless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses proper ty(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes be tween humans based on age or race; and that if a human rem oves his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check emai l, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic d riving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equ al legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not cl ear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introd uced earlier this year, insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinkingof driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people exp ect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.” Bec ause of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation. Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport ra ther than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford Unive rsity, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat the m as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.12. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer t o?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where pa ssing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.13. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless ca rs?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should involve no human responsibility.14. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.A. SingaporeB. the UKC. the USD. Germany15. What could be the best title for passage?A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New InventionC. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver RemovedD.

Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, manyexperts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.Children who become addicted to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children are more likely to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all, the government should control TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system （分级制度）and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to save our children from violence. 28．What experts really worry is that _________. .A．children spend too much time watching TVB．TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC．children become addicted to TV programsD．children have less time to do their homework29．The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .A．making a comparison B．giving a definitionC．giving an example D．presenting research findings 30．What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A．Explain.

I remember putting one foot in front of the other—things needed to get done, tasks, completed---but feeling terribly empty inside. Four years later, I has still not gotten a job．My savings had run out.In 2010, I began to think about rebuilding my life. When I was out walking my dog, Macarena, whom I had bought a year after my brother’s death, I had the feeling that if I could get control over my hair, I could get control over life.My hair has annoyed me for most of my life. It’s huge, curly and has a life all its own. I have countless hair stories that could easily become horror stories! For example, once my mother took me to get my hair done at a beauty salon and the stylist gave me a cut that looked like a monster!Now, you see why mastering my hair was so important to me. I watched countless YouTube videos from a community of women who shared hairstyles, which was a do-it-yourself community I was inspired by. As I started to develop a more loving relationship with my hair, I realized my curly hair was teaching me a lot about patience. That shedding (脱落）is an important part o f the “letting go” process to make way for the new. Our hair is the only part we can cut off, grow back, color, curl and straighten. The only thing we can change at will is to tell the world who we are.Now I’m the captain of my ship. But for my hair, I wo uld never have known that. 32．After the author’s brother died, she _____________.A．lost her job and was bathed in tearsB．was very sad and unable to do anythingC．filled her daily life with work to lift up her spiritsD．couldn’t recover from the loss of h er brother33．What did the author think was the key to rebuilding her life?A．Fixing the problem of her hair.
