一、阅读选择
As we know, it’s the beginning of the end for TV. Apple has released Apple TV, a tiny white box that connects the shows and movies you’ve downloaded from the computer, and wirelessly sends them to your TV screen.
No longer will you have to pay a monthly fee to your cable (有线的) company to watch your favourite show. Apple’s iTunes has made it possible to download a TV show for about $ 2, keep it stored o n your computer and watch it whenever you want. It’s a blow to the cable networks, which offer services that are often expensive and make hundreds of channels and thousands of shows nothing to watch.
American networks have gone one step further, allowing audiences to watch their shows for free online. If the cable companies don’t keep up with technology, we’ll soon be giving them up.
“This is the biggest kind of entertainment in history，” says Colin Dixon.“I don’t think that traditional broadcasts — cable and satellite — are going away tomorrow, but they must change to keep market share.”
The Internet changes businesses at an unbelievable speed. Now it’s happening with video. Canadians are being kept behind the times. Some Canadian channels are starting to follow American companies. Global offered Survivor: Cook Islands online, and CTV is doing the same for Degrassi: The Next Generation. And cable companies say that video on demand and personal video recording technology can compete with the Net.
“You watch w hen you want it，” says Michael Lee，adding that the Net doesn’t give viewers the opportunity to just sit on the couch and flip (翻阅) through channels.
However, it takes time.
“Up until this year even the US sites didn’t offer a lot of online content. We’ve s een an explosion of it this fall，” she says.

In Antarctica，when the long dark winter gives way to spring, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.
Into this brightly lit world, the large gray head of a Weddell seal (韦德尔海豹) appears through a crack in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals, and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.
The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the ice — she is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the Weddell seal gives birth to a pup (小海豹). The pup is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The pup drinks its mother’s milk and grows quickly. Within a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seal’s skin is a thick layer of fat called
blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.
When the pup is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the pup learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.
Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mother’s help, the pup soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.
The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the pup is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When the pup becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.
5．Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.
A．the function of Weddell seals’ teeth
B．the living conditions of Weddell seals
C．how Weddell seals move under the ice
D．how Weddell seals keep their breathing holes open
6．According to Paragraph 3, the pup ________.
A．grows slowly
B．is born in winter
C．is born under the sea
D．is covered with thick fur
7．The pup begins learning to swim and dive when it is about ________.
A．two days old B．two weeks old
C．two months old D．two years old
8．For a young Weddell seal, ________.
A．its father’s help is important
B．getting onto the ice shelf is easy
C．finding the breathing hole is easy
D．learning to hunt for food is unnecessary
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really
want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (经济的) reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move_things_forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
9．What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A．Some of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.
C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
10．What is the author’s attitude tow ards building new buildings in historic areas? A．Negative. B．Indifference.
C．Object. D．Support.
11．By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “________”．A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．choose new architectural styles
D．respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
12．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
Born in Australia without arms or legs, 30-year-old Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victory.His life has been filled with one hurdle after the next.But you’ll hear no self-pity from Vujicic, whose book, Unstoppable, was published last month. “My limbless challenge remains.I cannot change that，”says Vujicic, who counts sky­diving and surfing among his hobbies.“But what I can, and did change is my attitude.”
It is Vujicic’s spirit that has made him a sell­out speaker, traveling the world to share his story.Describing low points in his life, including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s, he says the “three Fs” are what got him through：friends, family and faith.“I can honestly say, the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legs ... Hard times make you humble (卑微)．You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself.”
A few years ago, confronted with the increasing business debt, Vujicic says he nearly gave up to self-destructive thoughts. But he set small goals: Get out of bed, eat breakfast, leave the house.Those small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level.“There is nothing about failure that is easy，” he says.“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victory. Success is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it.”
Family and friends are a safety net，including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child.“My parents always taught me, ’You don’t know what you are able to do until you try’” he recalls.“The first time you fail at anything is painful.But you have a deci sion：Do you give up or do you try again？”
13．Which of the following is TRUE of Nick?
A．He succeeds in motivating others greatly.
B．He believes he can do anything all by himself.
C．He dislikes telling his low points to the audience.
D．He thinks supportive relationships are unnecessary.
14．What’s Nick’s secret when he meets with troubles?
A．Attempting suicide.
B．Struggling to escape.
C．Setting small goals.
D．Pretending to succeed.
15．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Parental love.
B．Failures in life.
C．A book titled Unstoppable.
D．Attitude towards life.
二、七选五
Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so.“ 16．” wise people say.You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, 17．The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed.After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. 18．Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. 19．“Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he should not smoke more than one cigarette a day.

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often 21 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 22 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 23 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 26 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 27 copy.

“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) 33 award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 34 them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in o ur school could draw 35 well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 36 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 37 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the w onderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I 38 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never
39 anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to 40 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
