第一篇 How to Be a Successful BusinesspersonHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not?Here’s a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and todayhe owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be anairplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States.He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for acompany that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的)company, he frequently ate at a nearbyKFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, heworked as a cook’s assistant. His job was to c lean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didn’t likeit,” Mr. Kazi says, “but I always did the best I could.”One day, Mr. Kazi’s two coworkers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of allthree people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few monthslater, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. Heworked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that waslosing money. The restaurant wasdirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought therestaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of thebuilding, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someonehad to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before longthe restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he eared, he bought threemore restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, andretrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn’t planning to stop there. He’s looking for morepoorly managed restaurants to buy, “I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it’s amess,” Mr. Kazi says. “The only way it can go is up.”31.When Mr. Kazi was young, his dream was toA.be an airplane pilot.B.sell cars.C.own a restaurant.D.become a good cook.32.Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC toA.learn how to cook.B.save money for a car.C.save money on food.D.learn how to run a restaurant.33.Mr. Kazi became the manager of a new restaurant becauseA.he worked very hard.B.his co-workers praised him.C.he was a good cook.D.he knew how to run a restaurant.34.To save a failing restaurant, Mr. Kazi did all the following things, EXCEPT toA.advertise for it.B.clean it up.C.improve the food.D.retrain the employees.35.In the last paragraph, “it’s a mess” meansA.it’s small.B.it’s profitable.C.it’s dirty.D.it’s cheap.第二篇：Three Ways to Become More CreativeMo st people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone hasimagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn’talways connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free timeroutinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a trickyquestion to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to helpyou.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image,word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated withcandles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The nextstage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy afriend anoriginal present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.Imagine that normal limitatio ns don’t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as youwant. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn toski(滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time andthe money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, orevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use thistechnique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the charactersin their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can’t she get it? Whatchanges must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goalinvolves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!36.According to the passage, when we become adults.A.most of us are no longer creative.B.we are not as imaginative as children.C.we can still learn to be more creative.D.we are unwilling to be creative.37.According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem, ______A.you should link it with candles.B.you have to think of buying a present for a friend.C.you should link it with as many words as possible.D.you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.38.The second technique suggests that you just imagineA.setting a goal is as simple as skiing.B.you have every resource to achieve your goal.C.new possibilities will soon appear.D.December and January are the best months for skiing.39.The phrase “put yourself ‘in their shoes’” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA.dress yourself like them.B.do as they ask you to.C.put on their shoes.D.think as they would.40.We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:A.what are my customers’ needs?B.what do I usually do?C.what did my boss tell me to do?D.how should I sell my products?第三篇 The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate ofdivorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, andthe evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to thebreakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Somefuturists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times ,andextramarital(婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy(阴暗的)? The answer tothe first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. Theinstitution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to beeconomically dependent ontheir husbands as they usua lly didn’t have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so theydon’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic(悲观的)as it seems.While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen verymuch, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply livetogether and don’t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do notappear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriagessurvive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get marriedindicates that it isn’t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than singlepeople: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, andmarried men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts.Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of ourrelationships!41.Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.C.American people marry more than four times.D.More and more people are getting divorced.42.What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Women are not economically dependent any more.B.It is not necessary to get married any more.C.Women do not need a husband any longer.D.Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.43.Why is the outlook of marriage not as hopeless as it appears?A.Many people still like to get married.B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.C.Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist.D.The statistics of divorce is reliable.44.How do most men feel in their marriage life?A.They feel much stronger than before.B.They don’t feel as lonely as before.C.They suffer more than before.D.They feel more satisfied than being single.45.Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.It is important to discover what makes a marriage successful.B.Marriage has long been partly an economic need.C.It is a fact that most people choose to get married.D.Many people went abroad after divorce.第5部分：补全短文(第46～50题，每题2分，共10分)下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章面貌。

综合C级：第一篇Telling Tales about People（综合C）One of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people's lives. These stories fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir, and biography.An autobiography is the story of a person's life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person's earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies of other writers, such as James Joyce, have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies, but they are very close to it.Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the author. Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.Biographies are factual accounts of someone else's life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.1. This passage is mostly about _______.A) the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographiesB) famous autobiographiesC) why biography can be difficult to writeD) differences between autobiographies and memoirs2. Helen Keller wrote _______.A) a memoir B) an autobiographyC) a work of fiction D) a biography3. Autobiography writers are not always objective because they _______.A) feel they have to make up details to make their books sellB) constantly compete with biography writersC) want to present themselves in a good lightD) have trouble remembering the good times4. The writer introduces each category in the passage by _______.A) defining itB) giving an exampleC) explaining why it is hard to writeD) telling when people first began writing it5. Diverse means _______.A) able to swim in deep water B) similar or alikeC) varied or different D) enjoying poetry第一篇讲述关于人们的故事最普遍的非小说类文学作品类型之一就是一些描述人们生活的故事，并且很多人喜欢阅读这类作品。

Do You Have a Sense of Humor？Humor and laughter are good for us.There is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically，mentally，emotionally，and spiritually.In fact，every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive，healing way.So how can we get more laughter into our lives？（46）Psychologist and author，Steve Wlison，has some answers.Many peoplebelieve that we are born with a sense of humor.They think，“either you've got it，or you don't”Dr.Wilson points out that this false.（47）The parts of brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth（48）（After all，when a baby laughs，we don't rush over and say，“That kid has a great sense of humor！”）A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.Sometimes people think that they don't have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers.Dr.Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to expresshumor.（49）Then we will make others laugh，too.A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life.One of the best definition of a sense of humor is“the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.”Consider this sign from a sore window.“Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replanced with merchandise of equal quality.”The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store's excellent service.（50）As Dr.Wilson says，“a good sense of humor means that you don't have to be funny；you just have to see what's funny.”A He advises us to lose our inhibitions（抑制）and try to laugh at ourselves.B Is it possible to develop a sense of humor？C However，that does not mean that infants have a sense of humor.D What is true，however，it that we are born with the capacityto laugh and smileE Everyone experiences this emotionF He had a serious purpose，but if you have a sense of humor，you will probably find the sign funny！答案：BDCAF。

What We Take from and Give to the SeaAs long as we have been on earth,we have used the sea around us.We take from the ocean,and we give to it.We take fishes from the ocean--millions of kilograms of fish,every year,to feedmillions of people.We even use their bones for fertilizer.We take minerals from the ocean.One way to get salt is to place seawater in a shallow basin and leave it until it evaporates.Along with salt,other minerals are left after evaporation.Much gold and silver drift dissolved in the waters of the sea,too1.But the sea does not give them upby simple evaporation.Other gifts from the sea are pearls, sponges and seaweed.Pearls become jewelry.Natural sponges become cleaning aids.Seaweed becomesfood of many kinds一even candy,and ice cream—aswell as medicine.Believe it or not,fresh water is another gift from the sea.We cannot drink ocean water.Some of its contents may cause illness.But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts areremoved.In the future，we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.The sea gives us food,fertilizer,minerals,water,and other gifts.What do we give the sea?Garbage.We pollute the ocean when we use it as a garbage dump.Huge as it is,the ocean cannot hold all the water that we pour into it.Dumping garbage into the ocean is killing off sea life.Yet as the world population grows,we may need the sea and its gifts more than ever.We are finally learning that if we destroy our seas,we might also destroy ourselves.Hopefully,it is not too late.51A feed B attract C save D affect52A buy B treat C have D use53A flow B place C pour D throw54A before B until C after D for55A up B in C away D over56A Such B All C Another D Other57A change B become C make D turn58A material B item C product D food59A source B gift C thing D matter60A cure B cause C experience D catch62A costing B working C paying D depending63A gives B gets C teaches D pbtains64A if B when C although D because65A Reducing B Collecting C Removing D Casting。

But one area where many experts believe nanotechnology holds great promise is medicine.Last week, speakers at a program in Washington discussed using nanotechnology to improve health care in developing countries. The program took place at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Peter Singer at the University of Toronto says a nanotechnology called quantum dots2 could be used to confirm cases of malaria. He says it could offer a better way than the traditional process of looking at a person’s blood under a microscope.In poor countries, this process is often not followed. As a result, sick people may get treated for malaria even if they do not have it. Such misuse of medicines can lead to drug resistance. Quantum dots are particles that give off3 light when activated. Researchers are studying ways to program them to identify diseases by lighting up in the presence of targeted molecule. 4Experts say nanotechnology shows promise not just for diagnosing diseases, but also for treating them. Piotr Grodzinski of the National Institutes of Health5 talked about how nanotechnology could make drugs more effective. He talked about cancer drugs already developed with nanotechnology. He says if a drug can target a cancer locally in the body, then much less of it might be needed, and that means lower side effects.6Andrew Maynard is chief scientist for the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies at the Woodrow Wilson Center. He noted that Brazil, India, China and South Africa are currently doing nanotechnology research that could help poor countries. But he also noted that there is some risk in using nano-materials. He says nanometer-sized particles behave differently in the body and the environment compared to larger particles7. Experts say more investment in research is needed to better understand these risks.练习：1. Which of the following uses of nanotechnology is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. To make beauty products and dirt-resistant clothing.B. To produce better and lighter building materials.C. To help more accurately diagnose diseases.D. To help more effectively treat diseases.2. How can quantum dots be used to confirm diseases?A. By traditionally looking at a person’s blood under a microscope.B. By letting a person take some kind of medicine.C. By lighting up in the presence of a targeted molecule.D. By subjecting a person to an X-ray examination.3. How can nanotechnology be used to make a drug more effective?A. By making a drug target the focus of a disease.B. By changing the structure of the body cells.C. By lowering the side effects caused by a drug.D. By letting a patient take a dose as large as possible.阅读理解文章及练习(2) Medical Journals医学杂志Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health professionals.In the past, these journals were available only in print. With the development of electronic publishing. many medical journals now have Web sites on the Internet, and some journals publish only online. A few medical journals, like the Journal of the American Medical Association, are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine. Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine.Medical journals publish many types of articles. Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments. Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature. Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors, combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing, diagnosing or treating a particular disease. Case conferences and case reports may be published in medicaljournals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat them. Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors, often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue. Editorials provide perspective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic. Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments, questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.1.The main readers of medical journals areA. the general public.B. health professionals.C. medical critics.D. news reporters.2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Many medical journals also publish online.B. A few medical journals are general medical journals.C. Most medical journals publish only online.D. Most medical journals are specialty journals.3.How many major types of articles are mentioned in the passage?A. Five.B. Seven.C. Four.D. Six.4.An article dealing with results from different studies on the same topic is calledA. a research article.B. a review article.C. a case report.D. an editorial.5.Letters to the editor enable readers of a medical journal to express comments onA. any medical event.B. articles published in the same issue.C. articles published in that journal.D. medical development.阅读理解文章及练习(3) Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor厨房油烟可致癌The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a five-year research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer.They said patients are younger, especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else.Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate."An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer, "said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,l,483 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only l8 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke, according to the report.However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about1 irritated eyes and throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women's bedrooms were adjacent to2 the kitchen.However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer.Some claimed they may change food preparation methods."Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook, "said Xu Li, a 45-year-oldlocal woman."I know the fumes are bad for the skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer.I have already started frying less."Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with he3."Smoking is by far the biggest cause4 of lung cancer for men, "said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College."It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women."He's research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling5 fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time, 6experts said.练习：1.What a new tendency in lung cancer is concluded by the researchers?A Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women.B Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men.C Patients with lung cancer become older, especially males.D Patients with lung cancer become younger, especially females.2.Which of the following diseases is the most common among the local residents in Shanghai?A Heart disease.B Breast cancer.C Infectious diseases.D Lung cancer.3.What symptoms may be' complained of by most women with lung cancer after long term, close contact with cooking oil fumes?A Irritated eyes and throat.B Severe pain in both lungs.C Continuous cough and headache.D Difficulty in breathin9.4.What was the local women's reaction when they learned that cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer?A Happy.B Surprised.C Angry.D Careless5.Which of the following has relatively little connection with women's lung cancer?A Family cancer history.B Unhealthy dietary habits.C Weak immune systems.D Personal health and physical condition.阅读理解文章及练习(4) Multivitamins Urged for All Pregnant WomenA recent study in Tanzania found that when pregnant women took vitamins every day, fewer babies were bom too small. Babies that weigh less than two and one-half kilograms at birth have a greater risk of dying. Those that survive are more likely to experience problems with their development. And experts say that as adults they have a higher risk of diseases including heart disease and diabetes. The World Health Organization1 estimates that every year twenty million babies are bom with low birth weight. Nine out of ten of them are bom in developing countries.The new study took place in Dar es Salaam. 4,200 pregnant women received multivitamins. The pills contained all of the vitamins in the B group along with2 vitamins C and E. They also contained several times more iron and folate than the levels advised for women in developed nations. Pregnant women especially in poor countries may find it difficult to get enough vitamins and minerals from the foods in their diet.The scientists compared the findings with results from a group of 4,000 women who did not receive the vitamins.A report by the scientists, from the United States and Tanzania, appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine,3Wafaie Fawzi of the Harvard University School of Public Health4 led the study. None of the women in the study had HTV, the virus that causes AIDS. The scientists reported earlier that daily multivitamins were a low-cost way to reduce fetal deaths in pregnant women infected with5 HIV. The earlier work in Tanzania also found improvement in the mothers in their number of blood cells known as lymphocytes. Lymphocytes increase the body’s immunity against infection.The new study in pregnant women who were not infected with the AIDS virus found that multivitamins reduced the risk of low birth weight. Just under eight percent of the babies bom to women who took the multivitamins weighed less than 2,500 grams. The rate was almost nine and one-half percent in the group of women who received a placebo, an inactive pill, instead of the vitamins. But the vitamins did not do much to reduce the rates of babies being bom too early or dying while still a fetus. Still, the researchers say multivitamins should be considered for all pregnant women in developing countries.练习：1.How many babies are bom with low birth weight in the developed countries every year according to WHO?A. 20,000,000.B. 18,000,000.C. 2,000,000.D. 38,000,000.2.A pill of multivitamins may contain all of the following substances EXCEPTA. all vitamins in the B group.B. vitamins C and E.C. much iron and folate.D. antiviral substances.3.Which of the following is NOT one of the effects of multivitamins mentioned in the passage?A. To reduce the rate of babies bom too early.B. To reduce the risk of low birth weight.C. To reduce fetal deaths in pregnant women infected with HTV.D. To increase the number of lymphocytes in mothers’blood.4.What a role do lymphocytes play in the human body?A. To reduce the rate of dying while still a fetus.B. To raise the body’s immunity against infection.C. To help prevent the development of heart disease.D. To help prevent the development of diabetes.5.How many percent of babies were bom with low birth weight to women who were not infected with the AIDS virus and took the multivitamins according to a new study?A. Less than 8%.B. About 9.5%.C. L 5%.D 17.5%.阅读理解文章及练习(5) U. S. Eats Too Much Salt 美国人吃盐过量People in the United States consume more than twice the recommended amount1 of salt, raising their risk for high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes, government health experts said on Thursday.They found nearly 70 percent of U. S. adults are in high-risk groups that would benefit from a lower-salt diet of no more than 1,500 mg per day2，yet most consume closer to 3,500 mg per day.“It’s important for people to eat less salt. People who adopt a heart-healthy eating pattern that includes a diet low in sodium and rich in potassium and calcium can improve their blood pressure,”Dr. Darwin Labarthe of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.“People need to know their recommended daily sodium limit and take action to reduce sodium intake,”Labarthe said.The study in CDC’s weekly report on death and disease used national survey data to show that two out of threeadults should be consuming no more than 1，500 mg of sodium per day because they are black or over the age of 40一which are considered high-risk groups.Yet studies show most people in the United States eat 3,436 mg of sodium per day, according to a 2005–2006 CDC estimate.Most of the sodium eaten comes from packaged, processed and restaurant foods. The CDC said it will join other agencies in the Health and Human Services department in working with major food manufacturers and chain restaurants to reduce sodium levels in the food supply.Nationwide, 16 million men and women have heart disease and 5.8 million are estimated to have had a stroke. Cutting salt consumption can reduce these risks, the CDC said.练习：1.Too much salt raises one’s risk forA.high blood pressure.B.heart attacks.C.strokes.D.all of the above.2.How much salt do most American adults eat per day?A.No more than 1,500 mg.B.Closer to 3,500 mg.C.Less than 3,436 mg.D.Closer to 1,500 mg.3.To improve their blood pressure, people should have a dietA.rich in potassium and sodium.B.rich in potassium and calcium.C.rich in calcium arid sodium.D.none of the above.4.The high-risk groups include thoseA.who are black.B.who are over the age of 40.C.who are white and young.D.both A and B.5.Packaged, processed and restaurant foods are known to beA.cheap.B.tasty.C.rich in salt.D.healthy.阅读理解文章及练习(6) Pushbike Peril 自行车的危险Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure 一or even kill 一children if they fall onto the ends of the handlebars. So a team of engineers is redesigning the humble handlebar in a bid to make it safer.Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, began the project with her colleagues after a study of serious abdominal injuries in children in the past 30 years showed2 that more than a third were caused by bicycle accidents. "The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with some countermeasures,"3 she says.By interviewing the children and their parents，Arbogast and her team were able to4 reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common mechanism responsible for serious injuries. They discovered that most occur when children hit an obstacle at a slow speed，causing them to topple over5. To maintain their balance they turn the handlebars through 90 degrees 一but their momentum forces them into the end of the handlebars. The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground, ramming it into their abdomen6.The solution the group came up with is a handgrip fitted with a spring and damping system.The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted through the handlebars in an impact. The grouphopes to commercialize the device，which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. “But our task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem," says Arbogast.The team has also approached the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to try to persuade manufacturers to adopt the new design. A decision is expected later this year.练习：1.According to the passage, some engineers are trying to improve the handlebars becauseA they are not noble enough.B they may kill children.C they are likely to crash.D they make the bike move at a low speed.2.In paragraph 2，the author mentions a study of serious abdominal injuries A to discuss how abdominal injuries in children occur.B to show that more than a third injuries were caused by bicycle accidents.C to point out what the countermeasures can be.D to tell us why Kristy Arbogast began the project.3.Paragraph 3 mainly discussesA why the children and their parents were interviewed.B when the children turn the handlebars through 90 degrees.C what causes the children to topple over.D how serious injuries occur.4.The passage implies thatA it is not easy to persuade manufacturers to adopt the new design.B the team of engineers has not found any countermeasures.C children like to ride bicycles at a very low speed.D a lot of children were killed in bicycle accidents in the past 30 years.5. In which of the following ways the handgrip work?A It can be commercialized.B It reduces the dangerous forces in bicycle accidents.C It adds a few dollars to the cost of a bike.D It changes the direction of the handlebars in an impact.阅读理解文章及练习(7) Late-night Drinking在深夜饮咖啡Coffee lovers beware. Having a quick “pick-me-up”cup of coffee1 late in the day will play havoc with2 your sleep. As well as being a stimulant, caffeine interrupts the flow of melatonin, the brain hormone that sends people into a sleep.Melatonin levels normally start to rise about two hours before bedtime. Levels then peak between 2 am and 4 am, before falling again.3"It's the neurohormone that controls our sleep and tells our body when to sleep and when to wake，，，says Maurice Ohayon of the Stanford Sleep Epidemiology Research Center at Stanford University in California. But researchers in Israel have found that caffeinated coffee halves the body's levels of this sleep hormone.Lotan Shilo and a team at the Sapir Medical Center in Tel Aviv University found that six volunteers slept less well after a cup of caffeinated coffee than after drinking the same amount of decaf. On average, subjects slept 336 minutes per night after drinking caffeinated coffee, compared with 415 minutes after decaf. They also took half an hour to drop off4一twice as long as usual 一and jigged around5 in bed twice as much.In the second phase of the experiment, the researchers woke the volunteers every three hours and asked them to give a urine sample. Shilo measured concentrations of a breakdown product of melatonin. The results suggest that melatonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers were half those in decaf drinkers. In a paper accepted for publication in Sleep Medicine，the researchers suggest6 that caffeine blocks production of the enzyme that drives melatonin production.Because it can take many hours to eliminate caffeine from the body，Ohayon recommends that coffee lovers switch to decaf after lunch.练习：1. The author mentions "pick-me-up" to indicate thatA melatonin levels need to be raised.B neurohormone can wake us up.C coffee is a stimulant.D decaf is a caffeinated coffee.2.Which of the following tells us how caffeine affects sleep?A Caffeine blocks production of the enzyme that stops melatonin production.B Caffeine interrupts the flow of the hormone that prevents people from sleeping.C Caffeine halves the body's levels of sleep hormone.D Caffeine stays in the body for many hours.3. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss?A Different effects of caffeinated coffee and decaf on sleep.B Different findings of Lotan Shilo and a team about caffeine.C The fact that the subjects slept 415 minutes per night after drinking decaf.D The evidence that the subjects took half an hour to fall asleep.4. What does the experiment mentioned in paragraph 4 prove? A There are more enzymes in decaf drinkers' urine sample.B There are more melatonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers' urine sample.C Decaf drinkers produce less melatonin.D Caffeine drinkers produce less sleep hormone.5. The author of this passage probably agrees thatA coffee lovers sleep less than those who do not drink coffee.B we should not drink coffee after supper.C people sleep more soundly at midnight than at 3 am.D if we feel sleepy at night, we should go to bed immediately.阅读理解文章及练习(8) Eat Healthy 健康饮食"Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate club1!’’Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it's accompanied by an appeal：“Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!2" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites3. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story.4 Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University; told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began (o grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that, "after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.5 They live frompaycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.练习：1. Parents in the United States tend to ask their childrenA to save food.B to wash the dishes.C not to waste food.D not to eat too much.2. Why do American restaurants serve large portions?A Because Americans associate quantity with value.B Because Americans have big bellies.C Because Americans are good eaters.D Because Americans are greedy.3.What happened in the 1970s?A The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.B Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.C The United States produced more grain than needed.D The American waistline started to expand.4.What does the survey indicate?A Many poor Americans want large portions.B Twenty percent Americans want smaller portions.C Fifty seven percent Americans earn $150,000 per year.D Twenty three percent Americans earn less than $25,000 per year.5.Which of the following is Not true of working class Americans?A They work long hours.B They live from paycheck to paycheck.C They don't want to be healthy eaters.D They want to save money for their children.阅读理解文章及练习(9) U. S. to Start $3.2 Billion Child Health Study in JanuaryA study that will cost $3.2 billion and last more than two decades to track the health of 100,000 U.S. children from before birth to age 21 will be launched in January, U. S. health officials said on Friday.Officials from the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health said they hope the study, to be conducted at 105 locations throughout the United States, can help identify early-life influences that affect later development, with the goal of learning new ways to treat or prevent illness.The study will examine hereditary and environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals that affect health.Researchers will collect genetic and biological samples from people in the study as well as samples from the homes of the women and their babies including air, water, dust and materials used to construct their residences, the NIH said.Officials said more than $200 million has been spent already and the study is projected to cost $3.2 billion.“We anticipate that in the long term1，what we learn from the study will result in a significant savings in the nation’s health care costs,”Dr. Duane Alexander, who heads the NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, told reporters.The study will begin in January when the University of North Carolina and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York start signing up2 pregnant women whose babies will then be followed to age 21.Some of the early findings will be about factors behind pre-term birth3, which has become more common in recent years, according to Dr. Peter Scheidt of the NIH, who heads the study.The people taking part will be from rural, urban and suburban areas, from all income and educational levels and from all racial groups, the NIH said.练习：1.The aim of the study is to find new ways toA. conduct research.B. track public health.C. prevent or treat illness.D. speed up development.2.Researchers will collect all the following EXCEPTA. genetic samples from people in the study.B. biological samples from people in the study.C. samples from the homes of the women and their babies.D. samples of air and water from hospitals.3.It is expected that through the study the nation’s health care costsA. will be lowered in the long run.B. will be significantly increased.C. will be more than $200 million.D. will reach $3.2 billion.4.The babies of the participants will be followedA. throughout their lives.B. for more than two decades.C. from birth to 21 months.D. until they get married.5.Which is NOT true of the people in the study?A. They’ll be from various areas.B. They’ll be from all income levels.C. They’ll be from all educational levels.D. They’ll be from all age groups.阅读理解文章及练习(10) Cigars Instead?Smoking one or two cigars a day doubles the risk of cancers of the lip, tongue, mouth, and throat, according to a government study.Daily cigars also increase the risk of lung cancer and cancer of the esophagus，and increase the risk of cancer of the larynx (voicebox) sixfold1，say researchers at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.In addition, the report revealed that smoking three or four cigars a day increased the risk of oral cancer to 8.5 times the risk for nonsmokers2 and the risk of esophageal cancer by four times the risk of nonsmokers.The health effects of smoking cigars is one of eight sections of the article “Cigars ：Health Effects and Trends". The researchers report that, compared with a cigarette, a large cigar emits up to 90 times as much carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines.“This article provides clear and invaluable information about the disturbing increase3 in cigar use and the significant public health consequences4 for the country," said Dr. Richard Klausner, director of the National Cancer Institute，in a statement."The data are clear 一the harmful substances and carcinogens in cigar smoke, like cigarettes, are associated with5 the increased risks of several kinds of cancers as well as heart and lung diseases，”he added. “In other words，cigars are not safe alternatives to cigarettes6 and may be addictive. ”"To those individuals who may be thinking about smoking cigars, our advice is —don't.7 To those currently smoking cigars, quitting is the only way to eliminate completely the cancer, heart and lung disease risks，”warned Klausner.According to a National Cancer Institute press release8，there haven't been any studies on the health effects on nonsmokers at cigar social events，but "... a significant body of evidence9 clearly demonstrates an increased lung cancer risk from secondhand smoke. ”练习：1.According to the report, smoking three or four cigars a dayA increases the risk of oral cancer for non-smokers.B greatly increases the risk of oral cancer for smokers.C increases the risk of more than one cancer for non-smokers.D greatly increases the risk of more than one cancer for smokers.。

I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter's future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century in our country. You can also be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And this is truly remarkable, my friends.To those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe ~n. And, when you stumble (犯错), keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave the Earth is orbiting (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.16 Hillary Clinton was elected president of the United StatesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 Hillary Clinton believed that if she were elected president of the United States, she would be the best.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 The American people are now ready to accept a woman as their presidentA RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Many American young people feel disappointed at Hillary's failure to win the nomination.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 America's 50th female astronaut is right now moving round the EarthA RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Hillary Clinton will support Obama in the upcoming presidential election campaignA RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Hillary Clinton will no longer run for presidentA RightB WrongC Not mentioned概括大意Hints for Reading Practice1. Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some regular activity. For example, one famous surgeon always spent 15 minutes reading somethingbefore he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2:30 a.m. made no difference.2. "Speed Reading" courses teach students how to read more quickly. In such courses, teachers often ask students to find out how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this too: look at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and write down the page number you have reached.3. Obviously, you should not increase your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find something you don't understand in the book, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what is said, why not read the chapter again?4. Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading now. Read these pages as fast as you can. Don't worry about whether you understand or not. If you keep doing this "lightning speed" reading for a period of time, you will usually find that your normal speed has increased.5. Most paragraphs in an article have a topic sentence that expresses the central idea. The opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the article, while paragraphs that follow expand or support the first.

I'd like to invite you to AichiUniversity so you can understand my life.Our university has a close relationship with China and my department is the only one of its kind in Japan. My courses include the Chinese language, modern Chinese politics and economics. I love Chinese culture and I have been to Tianjin as an exchange student.In Japan, our courses are divided into compulsory, optional and specialized courses. However, we have a flexible schedule. We can choose classes from a wide range of options.Many students finish the compulsory courses in three years so that they can have one year without any classes. They often use this period of time to study abroad, conduct research and travel. Many students even suspend their study for additional study-abroad opportunities. Japanese universities encourage students to choose their own ways of study, so it is quite easy for us to apply for study suspension.Japanese students participate in various kinds of extracurricular (课外的) activities. They attend clubs from elementary schools, so many have already been accustomed to clubs when they enter university.Our university now has 42 art clubs and 45 sports clubs. The annual UniversityFestival is the grandest carnival (狂欢节) of Japanese universities. In the festival, students promote their clubs and organize various activities. Our university's festival attracted about 150,000 people last year. I really like this festival.When we promote our clubs, we cook "tonnjiru", a kind of pork soup, and sell it to other students at the fair.We also go to different places to interview celebrities (名人) who attend our festival as guests. It is a wonderful experience to talk to those stars face to face.Japanese students like to hold parties. We have two kinds of parties. One is the Mochiyori party. If you want to attend this party you have to cook a course and take it to the party. The organizer buys drinks and snacks.The other kind of party is the Nomikai, which mainly involves alcohol. We drink something called chu-hai, which is a combination of soda and wine. We also drink Japanese sake (日本米酒) and beer. There are parties for many occasions, like welcoming new students, celebrating victories and birthday parties or just for promoting friendship.31 Which statement is NOT true of Yamamoto Mika?A She has never been to ChinaB She is a Japanese studentC She loves Chinese cultureD She wants you to understand her life32 Many Japanese students finish their compulsory courses in three years becauseA they want to get married.B they want to stay at home.C they want to make money.D they want to study abroad.33 Which of the following is NOT a feature of the University Festival?A Organizing various activities.B Inviting government officials to dinner.C Interviewing celebrities.D Promoting clubs.34 What is the requirement for attending the Mochiyori party?A You have to interview celebrities.B You have to buy drinks and snacks.C You have to take to it a course you have cooked.D You have to get permission from the organizer.35 The word "compulsory' in paragraph 3 could be best replaced byA required.B forced.C requested.D demanded.第二篇Shopping at Second-hand Clothing StoresWhen 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something he did - "like changing the tires on his car." He lookedat his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes atthrift shops."Even new clothes are fairly disposable (可丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said. "Also, why pay 30 dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US - "some as big as department stores." All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), and when they have a surplus (盈余), they'll have "stuff a bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack With clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.Julia Slocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness.I’d say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization, the Center for a New American Dream. "Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场); they give clothing a secondlife, provide cheaper clothing for those who can't afford new ones and generate (生成) income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed (摆脱) some of the guilt for their level of consumption."36 Which statement about Barth is NOT true?A He is 33 years old now.B He works at a Goodwill thrift shop.C He was a college student many years ago.D He works at a Salvation Army thrift shop.37 When Barth was a college student, he often shopped at thrift shopsA to save energy.B to save money.C to help the environment.D to make friends with poor people.38 What does Akins do?A She is an accountant.B She is a soldier.C She is a saleswoman.D She is a road sweeper.39 Thrift shops can do everything EXCEPTA give clothing a second life.B generate income for charities.C stop rich people from wasting moneyD provide cheaper clothes for the poor.40 The word "thrift" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced byA one dollar.B charity.C first class.D two dollars.第三篇March MadnessFor the rest of the month, an epidemic (流行病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the yearly 65-team US men's college basketball tournament. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April. Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, and colleagues against bosses Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. But that doesn't mean money isn't involved.About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Lifemagazine, the event will draw over $500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post-season revenue, including that of the NBA (全国篮球协会)41 What will happen in the remaining part of the month?A Many Americans will be sent to madhouses.B Great excitement will spread across the US.C About 20 million Americans will be put in prison.D A deadly epidemic will break out in the US.42 Which statement about the epidemic is NOT true?A It occurs every fourth year.B It starts on March 15.C It is known as "March Madness".D It lasts through the beginning of April.43 Which of the following is NOT an instance of "March Madness"?A Kids run away from school.B Husbands kiss their wives.C College students keep homework piling up.D Employees can't concentrate on their work.44 It is great funA looking at wives kissing their husbands.B listening to students talking to their teachersC watching farmers kicking donkeys.D betting on the winners of each game.45 The little-known George Mason University was a dark horse becauseA it had a student body of 30,000.B its players were all black people.C it had never been expected to be victorious.D its players ran as fast as black horses.补全短文A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. (46) The law went into force last month, following research and a shocking number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who's to blame? (47) "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multi-taskers. (48) A group of 18- to 21-year-olds and a group of 35- to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a sample code. (49) But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy. It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multi-taskers. But it is probably a lot Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business-research firm, estimates the cost ofinterruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year. (50) The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.A And you'll be fined $100 if you do so on a New York City streetB Talking on a cellphone while driving brings you joy anywayC The estimate is based on surveys with office workersD The younger group did 10 percent better when not interruptedE However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.F Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited.完形填空Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president and the state governor both hurried there to share the (51). But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to (52) weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country (53) gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the (54) countries that seem unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it. In countries like Britain and Canada, the government adopted stricter (55) control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held (56) by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) and the electoral (选举的) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the major supporter of gun (57) in the US, is too strong for any party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun controlAnyway (58) the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign for gun control or win power, not (59); they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted(60) nine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So, although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many don't want to give up their arms they (61) to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professor in the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to(62) all this." In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument for more people to carry weapons, not fewer.But at the root of Americans' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of (63), commented UK's Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was (64) American's responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely (65) the government for protection." 51 A ceremony B funeral C grief D tears52 A own B make C destroy D trade53 A while B which C that D where54 A some B few C much D little55 A rocket B knife C gun D bullet56 A hostage B office C person D home57 A fire B attacks C violence D rights58 A SinceB Over C Till D Until59 A either B both C each D one60 A of B off C out D for61 A hide B buy C keep D sell62 A stop B cover C shoot D interrupt63 A guardsB government C students D professors64 A many B few C all D every【参考答案】1.

There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a differentsport-riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the games．They first competed in 1900 ,in tennis and go1f，which are no longer held in the Olympics . Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912，But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for they compete in all but half a dozen of the spcrts．In horse riding, shooting，and boat racing,they may compete in the same events as the men．31 Why is there honor for the losers as well as for the winners?A Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.B Because failure is the mother of success．C Because losers need encouragement.D Because losets and winner should be equally treated.32 Which of the following is along-established practce in the opening ceremony?A Runners enter the stadium with torches．B Each team puts on a wonderfu1 display．C Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.D The Gteek team marches in first．33 Who takes the Olympic oath?A A sportsman from the host country.B A judge from a foreign country．C An officer from the host country．D A Greek sportsman.34 What are the most imponant events in the Olympic Games?A The horse-riding events．B The track and field events.C The swimming events．D The boat-racing events．35 When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?A Inl912．B In 1928．C In 1900．D In 1924．第二篇SupermarketMost supermarkets need a very large floor area，sometimes at least ten times as big as that of an ordinary shop.There are usually two doors,one as an entrance and the other as an exit.The rest of the side facing the street is largely of plate glass,with goods or advertising material displayed.The other three walls are normally decorated in light colours,giving an impression of cleanliness(清洁)and brightness.Most supermarkets are on one floor only, goods being dstored in rooms at the back or upstairs.At right-angles to the window stretch long structures about six feet high with a number of shelves on eachside.Similar shelf units or frozen food containers extend round the walls.Broad aisles(通道)between the shelf units and ample(足够的)space between them and the window and also the far wall allow room for the circulation of many people. Individual commodities( 商品)，in tins,bags,boxes or other containers,are stacked(堆放)in groups on the shelves,and eachgroup is labeled with a price ticket.Metal baskets near the dentrance are taken by the shoppers who collect in them the goods they select from the shelves.【备注说明，非正文，实际使用可删除如下部分。

Taking Pictures of the WorldMeet Annie Griffiths Belt,a National Geographic photographer.Belt has worked for National Geographic since 1978,and has taken pictures on almost every continent in the world.In fact,Antarctica is the only continent Belt hasn't seen yet.Belt's photographs are well known for their beauty and high quality.They also reflect very different cultures and regions of the world.Belt has photographed the ancient city of Petra, Jordan,as well as the green landscapes of the Lake District in England.Recently,her pictures appeared in a book about undeveloped natural places in North America.Everywhere that Belt goes,she takes pictures of people. Belt has found ways to connect with people of all ages and nationalities even when she does not speak their language." The greatest privilege of my job is being allowed into people's lives,"she has said."The camera is like a passport,and I am often overwhelmed by how quickly people welcome me!"Knowing how to break the ice has helped to make Belt a successful photographer,but experts say that anyone can learn to connect with new people.When people speak the same language, greeting and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other.When people don't speak the same language,a smile is very helpful.Having something in common can also help break the ice.For example,Belt has traveled with her two children,so when she takes pictures of children or their parents,they all have that family connection in common. Even bad weather can help people to connect when they are experiencing it together.Belt has some advice if you are thinking about a career in photography.You can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization that can't afford to hire a professional photographer.You can also take a good,honest look at your best photographs.If you're a real photographer,your photos are good because of your personal and technical skills.Belt also recommends studying and learning from photos taken by professional photographers.Remember,the next time you look as a beautiful photograph,you might be looking at the work of Annie Griffiths Belt.And the next time you meet a new person,don't be afraid to break the ice.the connection you make could be very rewarding.31Balt's photographys are praised for all of the following EXCEPTA their good qualityB different culturesC various shapesD their beauty32The word privilege in Paragraph3meansA advantageB responsibilityC partD coverage33The sentence the camera is like a passport in Paragraph 3impliesA a photographer can visit a foreign country without a passortB customs officials like taking picturesC good cameras can make others accept you quicklyD taking pictures can help meet people in different places34In the fourth paragraph，the author mainly discusses how toA greet strangers of different culturesB have family connection in commonC get on well with people in bad weatherD break the ice in communication35Belt suggests that those who want to be a photographer shouldA know how to connect with othersB volunteer to break the ice in conversionC learn from the professional worksD take pictures of different regions答案：CADDCApproaches to Understanding IntelligencesIt bays to be smart,but we are not all smart in the same way.You may be a talented musician,but you might not be a good reader.Each of us is different.Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and whatare talents or personal abilities.Psychologists have two different views on intelligence.Some believe there is one general intelligence.Others believe there are many different intelligences.Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests.These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.They do well on tests using words,numbers or pictures. They do well on individual or group tests,and written or oral tests.Those who do poorly on one test,do the same on all tests.Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brain of intelligence people use less energy during problem solving.The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction.Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.Howard Gardner,a psychologist at the Harvard School ofEducation,has four children.He believes that all children are different and shouldn’t be tested by one intelligence test.Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists, he doesn’t think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.He think that the human mind has different intelligences.These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life.Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences.Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.For example,when one part of the Brain is injured,other parts of the brain still work.People who cannot talk because of Brain damage can still sing.So,there is not just one intelligence to lose.Gardner has Identified8different kinds of intelligence;linguistic,mathematical,spatial,musical, Interpersonal,intrapersonal,body-kinesthetic(身体动觉的),and naturalistic.36.What is the main idea of this passage？A.The importance of intelligenceB.The development of intelligence testsC.How to understand intelligenceD.How to become intelligent37.Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence？A.Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence testsB.Intelligent people do not do well on group testsC.Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral testsD.People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests38.Gardner believe thatA.all children are alikeB.children have different intelligencesC.children should take one intelligence testD.there is no general intelligence39.According to Gardner schools shouldA.promote development of all intelligencesB.test student's who do poorly on testsC.train students who do poorly on testsD.focus on finding the most intelligent students40.Gardner thinks that his theory has aA.musical foundationB.intrapersonal foundationC.linguistic foundationD.biological foundation答案：CDBADAlaskaIn1858Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the49th state，symbolizing a change of attitude that hold in1867，when the peninsula was purchased from Russia.Then，most Americans had little interest in1，500，000square kilometers “of icebergs and polar bear”-beyond Canada s western borders，far from the settled areas of the United States.In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle，Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bear.Ice buried in the earth，which is permanently frozen to a depth of90or more meters，From early May until early August，themidnight sun never sets on this flat，treeless region，but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.Alaska is America s largest state，but only about325，000people live there.According to estimates，800，000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640，000hectares are being cultivated.Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries.It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia，probably crossing Bering Strait，named for Vitus Bering，the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in1741.The Eskimos are the state s earliest known inhabitants.Russian fur traders established settlements but，by the time Alaska was sold to the United States，most of the traders had departed.In1896gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border.Thousand of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike；some never returned.Alaska was never completely cut off again，althougheven today transportation is a major problem.There are only two motor routes from the U.S mainland，and within the state，every town has its own airfield.Planes fly passengers，mail and freight to the most distant villages.The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended，and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American literature，the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaska waters.The fish caught in a single year range in value from $80million to$90million.Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams，and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters.After fishing，the state s chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp.In recent years，Alaska s single most important resource has become oil.The state also has large deposits of coal，copper，gold and other minerals.41Alaska is an American state thatA locates within the Arctic CircleB was known by Americans before1867C lies to the east of CanadaD was once owned by Russia42Which of the following is true about AlaskaA The sun never sets on its land in MayB Some of its land is fit for plowingC
