Auction last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.73 Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed time to time. 71 Some ways of dealing with stress 一like screaming or hitting someone一don't solve (解决) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 72 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself.73(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 74 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you makeyour way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 75A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.C. Different people feel stress in different waysD. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.E. Y ou need to figure out what the problem is.F. And don't forget about your friends.G. Then, find a way to calm down。

They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) —some of the world‘s wealthiest businessmen —who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 50 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth 51 . The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question 52 me of something I‘d read somewhere before: ―Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to 53 life that day,‖ I said. ―I choose to be cheerful.‖―Let me give you an example,‖ I continued, 54 all sixty students in the class. ―In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 55 the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn‘t 56 . So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and 57 down the road to the college.‖―As soon as I got there I called AAA（汽车协会）and asked them to 58 for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what has happened. ‗This is my lucky day,‘ I replied, 59 .‖―‗But y our car breaks down‘, she was 60 . ‗What do you mean?‘‖―‗I live17 miles from here.‘ I replied. ‗My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn‘t. Instead, it broke down in the 61 place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I‘m still able to teach my class, and I‘ve been able to apply for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was 62 to break down today, it couldn‘t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.‘‖―The secretary‘s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.‖ So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my 63 class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn‘t the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student‘s 64 that I was cheerful.50. A. seriously B. cheerfully C. curiously D. coldly51.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, ―Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.‖ To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, ―That new yellow sweater looks great on you.‖―Oh, Tom, you noticed,‖ she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, ―Evelyn‘s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.‖ We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that‘s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression.―What‘s the matter?‖ I asked her.―Tom,‖ she said in a voice filled with distress, ―do you know something I don‘t?‖―What do you mean?‖―Well… that checkup I had several weeks ago… our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you‘ve been so good to me… am I dying?‖It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.―No, honey,‖ I said, wrapping her in my arms. ―Y ou‘re not dying; I‘m just starting to live.‖65. In the first paragraph, ―No ifs, ands or buts‖ probably mean ________.A. unnecessarilyB. unconditionallyC. impossiblyD. unexpectedly66. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.A. aloneB. with his familyC. with EvelynD. with his children67. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street68.

It is a new, uncertain journey —at a time when peace in life is treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to keep control of the business. The inability to ―let go‖ is even more difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of unemployment or family poverty.For many who build successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that ―work is her oxygen.‖ Some entrepreneurs （企业家）started their businesses at least in part to prove themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We find that they cling to theircreations more strongly than most.For these reasons and others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal conflicts that spoil succession (接替；继位) planning or even the performance of potential successors.If an executive has not quite achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however, should remember Winston Churchill‘s warning to the House of Commons: ―If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.‖Fortunately, many business owners manage to face succession planning —courageously, openly, and early. And because entrepreneurial succession is perhaps the most critical issue for family-business continuity, we‘re keenly interested in the makeup and background of those who do.Our conclusion: It‘s all a matter of outlook or attitude. Business owners who can plan succession and wh o can let go don‘t come necessarily from larger or smaller businesses. They don‘t come from businesses that are more or less fragile or that require more or less hands-on involvement. They don‘t necessarily even have more or less qualified successors to whom they can turn over their creations. They just have a different outlook or attitude toward the subject. For them, the glass is half full, not half empty.72. The underlined expression ―let go‖ means ________.A. to dismiss the successorB. to close the businessC. to explore another fieldD. to pass the business to the successor73.

According to the passage, people with the sound attitude to retirement think that ________.A. old people are certain to restB. retirement means new opportunities and new lifeC. as business owners, they are most important to the businessD. their business was bought as part of management75.

There is one Pwith signals76.By the 1950s many Americ an families owned television sets. During television‘s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and had to guess. Deaf people who watched television likedsports and action shows, but they were disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn‘t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip -readers could only ca tch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.77. In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government‘s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.78.screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning-onethat would not bother hearing people.79.In October of 1971, Norwood‘s office signed a contract with WGBH -TV , a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention. The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called ―open captions‖.80. Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder are called ―closed captions‖.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words .In the house where I grew up, it was our custom to leave the front door on the latch at night. I don‘t know if that was a local term or if it is universal; ―on the latch‖ meant the door was closed but not locked. None of us carried keys; the last one in for the evening would close up, and that was it.Those days are over. In rural areas as well as in cities, doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening.It is not uncommon, in most pleasant homes, to see on the windows small notices announcing that the building is closely monitored by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child‘s bicycle with the now -usual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why are we having to defend ourselves against our neighbors and fellow citizens, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our lives?With all this ―security‖, we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?We trust no one. Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their station wagon key chains. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we have all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but we have also locked ourselves in.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. In the author‘s childhood, people were used to ________.82. What can be commonly seen on the windows of most pleasant homes?83. According to the author, what is the new environment of American life now?84. In the author‘s mind, they feel that they are seemingly ________, but actually ________.第II卷（共45分）I.

I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can __1 it, they can certainly send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can’t. If the children really want to go,they’ll find a 2 out. There are plenty of loans（货款）and scholarships for the bright and 3 ones who can’t afford to pay.When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the 4 to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a(n) 5 not an obligation（责任，义务）.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their obligations is to give their children a personal 6 .A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly 7 to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so _8_ , so afraid of failing that he（or she）won’t try at all. Of course they should be __9__ corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate （宽容）them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand 10 .When criticisms（批评）are really needed, they should be 11 with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to 12 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by 13 .A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have 14 laughing and loving.No child asks to be 15 .If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. 1．A．find B．get C．afford D．receive2．A．supporter B．help C．path D．way3．A．handsome B．honest C．eager D．worried4．A．time B．right C．duty D．energy5．A．favor B．pleasure C．honor D．service6．A．worth B．affair C．belief D．confidence7．A．brought B．compared C．forced D．taken8．A．unsure B．desperate C．embarrassed D．dependent9．A．properly B．gently C．sincerely D．severely10．A．failure B．examination C．fault D．test11．A．mixed B．satisfied C．shared D．balanced12．A．consider B．recognize C．respect D．know13．A．example B．guidance C．word D．deed14．A．worry B．difficulty C．fun D．question15．A．praised B．valued C．born D．loved第二节语法填空(共10小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分15分)阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为16-25的相应位置上。

AOpposition is growing to the Berlin Zoo‘s plans to find a new home for Knut, the moneymaking celebrity polar bear whose popularity has been exploited by environmentalists and even Canadian tourism promoters.No longer cute, and just days before his second birthday, Knut will be given a new home that is expected to include a potential mating partner.The Berlin Zoo, facing the global economic crisis, can‘t afford the estimated $ 13 million it would take to acquire a female and a new home for them to share. ―It‘s time for him to go --- the sooner he gets a new home the better,‖ said senior bear keeper Heiner Kloes.But some Berliners are beginning a campaign, collecting petition (情愿书) signatures and arguing that he‘s a tourist draw and a symbol as important as the Brandenburg Gate. ―He means a lot to many people. When you‘re with him you forget your problems,‖Hartmut Wiedenroth, co-founder of the campaign, told Spiegel Online.Knut became an international celebrity in 2007, drawing huge crowds to his cage and triggering sales of thousands of Knut toys and Knut-shaped candies.The Vancouver-based Canadian Tourism Commission made Knut a major part of its ―Canada—Keep Exploring‖ campaign to draw tourists to the country--- and especially to polar bear country in northern Manitoba to see them in their natural habitat. Environmentalists also used the bear to promote the fight against global warming.But Knut‘s popularity diminished as his size increased to 210 kilograms, He was photographed at one point snapping (咬) at a child near his cage. In September his keeper, Thomas Doerflein, died of a heart attack. Doerflein, who became a celebrity himself after nursing the tiny ball of white fur when Knut‘s mother rejected him, had been re-assigned shortly after Knut‘s first birthday. Some animal rights critics said Knut has been showing unusually aggressive behavior because of his unnatural upbringing.56. The Berlin Zoo intends to find a new home for Knut mainly because of _______.A. the mother bear deserting himB. Knut‘s aggressive behaviorC. lacking a skillful bear keeperD. its financial problem57. A campaign is being launched in Berlin _______.A. in order to keep Knut in the zooB. by selling Knut-shaped candiesC. to draw tourists to northern ManitobaD. to warn people of global warming58. The underlined word ―triggering‖ in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ―_______‖.A. decreasingB. preventingC. promotingD. conducting59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Doerflein, a celebrity of GermanyB. Zoo says Knut must goC. The polar bear capital of the worldD. Polar bears in CanadaBEven before historian Joseph Ellis became a best-selling author, he was famous for his vivid lectures. In his popular courses at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, he would often make classroom discussion lively by describing his own fighting experience in Vietnam. But as Ellis's reputation grew--his books on the Founding Fathers won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize ---the history professor began to entertain local and national reporters with his memories of war. Last year, after The Boston Globe reported Ellis's experience in the Vietnam war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime. Last week The Boston Globe revealed that Ellis, famous for explaining the nation's history, had some explaining to do about his own past.―Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made," said Ellis. It turned out that while the historian had served in the Army, he'd spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia , but teaching history at West Point ( 西点军校). He'd also overstated his role in the antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so successful would beautify his past. But it seems that success and truthfulness don‘t always go hand in hand. Even among the successful achievers, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving. And, oddly, people often beautify their past once they're famous, says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of background checks.Then what makes them do it? Psychologists say some people succeed, at least in part, because they are uniquely adjusted to the expectations of others. And no matter how well-known, those people can be haunted (长期不断的缠绕) by a sense of their own shortcomings. "From outside, these people look anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a psychoanalyst. "But inside, they feel hollow, empty,‖60. Which of the following shows the order of what happened to Ellis?a. He became a best-selling author.b. He taught at Mount Holyoke College.c. His books won two important prizes.d. The Boston Globe reported his experience in Vietnam.e. He entertained reporters with his memories of war.A. abcedB. bedcaC. acbdeD. bcaed61. The underlined part "dropped a dime" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ―____________‖A. let sb. downB. informed on sb.C. made sb. famousD. punished sb. badly62. While Ellis served in the Army, he ________________A. fought in VietnamB. taught history at a military schoolC. pretended to be a historianD. made mistakes in the antiwar movement.CRahfeal Gordon has come a long way from the homeless shelters and streets of Newark, New Jersey. The 25-year-old was honored this year by the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship for his work----giving motivational speeches to youth groups.Rahfeal Gordon tells his audience, "If nobody ever says that you're brilliant, say it to yourself every day. Look yourself in the mirror: if you have survived something, I don't care how small, how big, you‘ve survived it," he said.Rahfeal Gordon 's speech is simple: He tells the story of his own life in three chapters. Each begins with a hip hop lyric (歌词) that he knows will be meaningful to a young audience.Gordon says he uses positive hip hop lyrics to encourage youths, especially those who grew in poverty and abuse, as he did. His talk is called "Hip Hop Saved My Life".― When I had my very dark moments in life, I would put on certain songs, whether it is from Jay-Z , Tupac, Kanye West," Gordon said. "They kept me going through the hard times. They fulfilled a certain void (空白) that I couldn't fulfill, like not having a father or mother there, so I felt they could relate because they would tell these stories."Gordon says his childhood was happy until his father became addicted to drugs and began to beat his three brothers and mother. They left to live on the streets and in homeless shelters. Gordon says he tries now to be a voice for others, including a brother who was murdered at the age of 19.―When I lost my brother, that was, really, a moment when things really started to take off, in the sense of saying, ‗I really, really want to be that individual to help people, to help individuals,‘‖Gordon said. ―I can't be Superman. I can't save the world, but I think that if I can help an individual, I am saving the world. ‖63. Rahfeal Gordon was honored because he ___________.A. has changed the lives of young people worldwideB. inspires young people to better themselvesC. encourages his students to improve the communityD. has made great achievements in his teaching career64. Rahfeal Gordon uses hip hop lyrics in his lecture because _________________.A. he is good at performing hip hop songsB. hip hop songs are encouraging and funnyC. hip hop songs helped him spend his hard timesD. he tends to follow the fashion like youths65. What do we know about Rahfeal Gordon's childhood?A. His parents forced him to leave home.B. He was badly treated since he was a child.C. His mother always beat him black and blue.D. He became homeless after his father used drugs.66. The author writes the passage mainly to_____________.A. share Rahfeal Gordon's life storyB. tell readers to follow Rahfeal GordonC. introduce an American national awardD. direct readers' attention to poor childrenDGrasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them. Moving animals from one area of pasture (牧场) to another can provide the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing .(循环放牧)Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals, and it can save money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide (农药) treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting animal wastes do the job of natural fertilizer. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively (集中地) in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting. Animals eat the most desirable growth first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, less desirable plants may replace them. Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.While rotational grazing can save money over time, it also requires planning. And that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time. Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose (圈起) grazing areas, called paddocks. The paddocks will need water. Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place.Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less that five centimeters. The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.Sheep and goats may require special preparations. They may need stronger fences than other animals. And while they eat the grass, they may need guard animals to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.67. Grasslands won't depend on chemical fertilizers when __________________.A. the soil of grasslands is naturally richB. animal wastes serve as natural fertilizerC. rotational grazing can prevent wildfiresD. grasslands are usually in good condition68. The function of putting up electric fences is to _____________.A. divide the pasture into paddocksB. encourage animals to get aroundC. stop animals staying at one placeD. provide water supplies for animals69. Why do sheep and goats need guard animals?A. They can easily jump over fences.B. They don't like to stay in the paddockC. wild animals are likely to attack themD. Tigers and lions prefer sheep and goats70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Giving grasslands a restB. How to feed animalsC. Keeping animals moving in pasturesD.

It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder…if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy.

You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it.

You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.Different people do different things to deal with colds.

Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.There is one interesting thing to note —some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.
