Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by writing the corresponding letter on the line before each question.7 Health Problems for the Modern AgeA) Modern life, with its emphasis on information, automation, computerisation, andglobalization, has made work easier and given us more leisure options, but we now have a whole host of new health problems. Only time will tell if these modern health problems disappear like 8-track tapes and rotary phones. Until then, here are some of the new maladies we have in store for us.Computer vision syndromeB) If you spend all day staring at a computer screen, you may be at risk for computervision syndrome(CVS), also called occupational asthenopia. CVS includes all eye or vision-related problems suffered by people who spend a lot of time on computers.According to the American Optometric Association, symptoms of CVS include headaches; dry, red, or burning eyes; blurred or double vision; trouble focusing;difficulty distinguishing colours; sensitivity to light; and even pain in the neck or back. As many as 75 percent of computer users have symptoms of CVS due to glare, poor lighting, and improper workstation setup. To overcome CVS, keep your monitor about two feet away from and six inches below eye le vel, and be sure it’s directly in front of you to minimize yes movement. Adjust lighting to remove any glare or reflections. You can also adjust the brightness on your monitor to ease eyestrain. Even simple steps can help, like looking away from your monitor every20 or 3o minutes and focusing on something farther away. And you can always useeyedrops to perk up your peepers!Earbud-related hearing lossC) Earbuds are the headphones used with many digital music players. They fit inside theear but don’t cancel out background noise, requiring users to turn up the volume, often to 110 to 120 decibels − loud enough to cause hearing loss after only an hour and 15 minutes. And today, people spend much more time listening to their portable players, exposing themselves to damaging noise for longer periods of time. As a result, young people are developing the type of hearing loss normally seen in much older adults. Experts recommend turning down the volume and limiting the amount of time spent listening to music players to about an hour a day. Headphones that fitoutside the ear canal also help, as can noise-cancelling headphones that reduce background noise so listeners don’t have to crank up the volume.E-thrombosisD) This condition is related to deep vein thrombosis(血栓形成)，where blood clots（血栓）form in deep veins,such as those in the legs. These clots can be fatal if they migrate to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. Clots can form when blood supply slows or stops, such as in a period of prolonged immobility.E) Similarly, e-thrombosis is the development of clots in the deep veins of someone who spends longamounts of time in front of a computer without moving. Although only a handful of e-thrombosis cases have been reported, millions of people who spend most of their time in front of a computer are at risk.Avoiding e-thrombosis is simple: stand up and move around every hour, tap your toes while you work, put equipment and supplies in different parts of your work area so you have to move to get them, don’t cros s your legs while sitting at your desk, don’t spend your lunch break at your desk (go for a quick walk instead), and don’t get too comfortable − if your workspace is ultra-cozy, you won’t want to get up.Generalised anxiety disorderF) We all have worries, uncertainties, and fears, but generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is excessive orunrealistic unease or concern about life’s problems. Although the disorder often manifests without any specific cause, large issues of modern life (such as terrorism, the economy, and crime) can bring it about, as can individual circumstances like dealing with an illness. GAD affects about 6.8 million people in the United States, and symptoms include restlessness, fatigue irritability, impatience, difficulty concentrating, headaches, upset stomach, and shortness of breath. Anxiety disorders like GAD are treated with antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, psychotherapy, or a combination of these.Orthorexia nervosaG) It seems like every day there’s a new report about something you shouldn’t eat.The constant bombardment of information about food and health can confuse anyone, but for people who have the eating disorder orthorexia nervosa, it can be downright dangerous. People with this condition are obsessed with eating healthful food and have constructed strict diets that they follow religiously.Although many people who have orthorexia nervosa become under weight, thinness is not their goal −nutritional purity is. Among the signs of orthorexia nervosa are: spending more than three hours a day thinking about healthful food; planning meals days in advance; feeling virtuous from following a strict healthful diet, but not enjoying eating; feeling socially isolated (such strict diets make it hard to eat anywhere but at home); and feeling highly critical of those who do not follow a similar diet. Although the psychiatric community does not officially recognize orthorexia nervosa as a disorder, those with the condition benefit from psychological treatment and sessions with eating-disorder specialists.Sick-building syndromeH) Rising energy costs aren’t just harmful to your wallet; if you work in an office building, they could bemaking you physically ill. Business have found that by packing buildings with insulations, then adding caulking and weather stripping, they can seal buildings tight, keep indoor temperatures constant, and but energy costs in the process. Such measures require the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HV AC) systems to work harder to recycle air. After all, when the building is sealed, you can’t open a window to let fresh air circulate. The result is sick building syndrome, which the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) classifies as a situation where building occupants experience discomforting health effects even though no specific cause can be found. Symptoms include headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness; nausea; fatigue; and sensitivity to odours. The EPA estimates that 30 percents of all U.S. office buildings could be “sick,” so they recommend routine maintenance of HV AC systems, including cleaning or replacing filters; replacing water-stained ceiling tilesan carpeting; restricting smoking in and aroundbuildings; and ventilating areas where paints, adhesives, or solvents are used. Social anxiety disorderI) Despite all the ways to interact with others in our ethnologically savvy world, those with social anxiety disorder feel boxed in by the shrinking globe. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), people with social anxiety disorder have an “intense, persistent, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and ofdoing things that will embarrass them,” and that fear can be so intense that it interferes with work,school, and other ordinary activities and canmake it hard to make and keep friends. But the condition has physical manifestations, too, including trembling, upset stomach, heart palpitations, confusion, and diarrhea. The cause hasn’t been nailed down, but social anxi ety disorder is probably due to a combination of environmentaland hereditary (遗传的) factors. About 15 million people in the United States are affected by social anxietydisorder, which usually begins during childhood. Like otheranxiety disorders, treatment often involves medication and psychotherapy.healthful diet.According to the NIH, it can be difficult for people with social anxietydisorder to make and keep friends.e-thrombosis, people who work with computer should get up andwalk around at intervals.We should avoid glare or reflections on the computer screen to overcomeCVS.The EPA recommends people maintain the HV AC systems routinely toprevent sick building syndrome.time.Social anxiety disorder is probably the result of the combination effects ofgene and environment.Part III Cloze (每小题1分，共10分)Directions : In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks.

(共50分)Section A Reading in Depth (每小题2分，共40分)Direction : There are 4 passages in this part. Each passageis followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide which one is the best choice. Passage OneIn the time between the tsunami and the Sichuan earthquake, Jet Li transformed his life, dedicating much of his time to helping the victims of the disasters and the less fortunate. Rather than just donate money, he set out to create an organization that would make a genuine difference and draw upon the power of individuals around the world. After the tsunami, Li told his wife: “I have to do something right away.” That’show the One Foundation was born.On January 2, 2005, he announced he would give 500,000 yuan ($73,000) to the victims of the tsunami and use another 500,000 yuan to start a foundation. In the end, it took more than two years to create One Foundation, partly because Li had alreadycommitted himself to making several movies and partly because, by his own admission, he didn't have a clue where to start. During his free time, he spoke with academics around the world and spent time at philanthropic (慈善的) organizations, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, to learn what makes a successful non-government organization (NGO).“For me it was a totally new world. I knew the movie world very well, but suddenly I had to discover the world of NGOs. I needed to spend time studying. What I learned is you need transparency.” In other word s, if people are going to support a charitable organization, they need to trust that their money will actually reach the people in need. The Red Cross Jet Li One Foundation was finally launched in China in April 2007. Though it works independently from the Red Cross, the tie-in allows the foundation to operate public fund-raising activities in China. The Red Cross link has also helped it get a quick, accurate picture of the extent of unfolding disasters on the ground. The Red Cross, in return, has benefited from the public profile the One Foundation has. “They have enhanced our public awareness and encouraged many people to support humanitarian efforts,” says Wang Shunong, deputy director of program development and support at the Chinese Red Cross.A. He changed his life a great deal to help the victims.B. He acted differently by setting up a venture fund.C. He wanted to be outstanding by setting up an organization.D. He donated money and set up an organization immediately.52. Which of the following statements is NOT the feature of the One Foundation? A A It cost Jet Li 1,000,000 yuan in total to start the foundation. B. It was finally launched in 2007 and cost Jet Li 500,000 yuan.C. It was not founded until 2007 mainly because he was busy with his work.D. It was not founded until 2007 mainly because he had no idea how to start.53. In Paragraph Three, what does the italicized words “you need transparency ” mean according to Jet Li? CA. They need to have people’s trust to earn money.B. They need to have the ability to gather money.C. They need to make sure the money is properly used.D. They need to make sure where to save the money.54. What is the relationship between One Foundation and the Red Cross? C A. They work together to help those who need help. B. One Foundation is under the control of Red Cross.C. They benefit each other by sharing information and enhancing public awareness.D. They are two independent organizations and have nothing to do with each other. 55. What is the attitude of the author? A A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Not clear. Passage TwoAnyone who has been involved with IELTS examination preparation knows that overcoming or redirecting tension and nerves is an important element of success. This is compounded in the context of the IELTS test. It is an especially “high stakes (赌注)” exam which often takes place at the end of an intensive course, with students under severe pressure to succeed. For the international candidates on our course, a beginning in a new environment can add to the tension, and it could be argued that getting the students in the right frame of mind is as important as teaching the exam skills themselves.I have found that popular psychology and self-help manuals can be of assistance in this context, for example, using selective quotes and anecdotes, together with what could be called a little sympathetic aversion (厌恶) therapy. I invite students to confront their fears and get used to speaking in front of their peers in a non-threatening and supportive environment. Creating “a comfortable environment for students to establish peer trust” is the most important, and nobody is forced to speak if they are clearly uncomfortable. By hot seating the students (bringing them out to the front of the class and asking them IELTS oral exam style questions), who are all volunteers, usually in the middle and towards the end of a session, I encourage them to anticipate the examiner’s questions without fear and to look forward to showing what they can do. Some of the students stress the differences between peers and teaching assessment and our emphasis is on confidence building. No candidate is left feeling deflated; in fact students often reported how happy they were after the experience.An IELTS class can be a tense place and I feel it is important for students to use their collective anxiety, rather than be overwhelmed by it. Also, instead of looking upon the examiner as an questioner who requires answers, I ask students to regard her/him as a provider of stimuli (刺激), which are intended to elicit a response. The reluctant ones became clearly motivated when they saw the positive feedback that their peers and class teacher were giving.56. According to the passage, a key factor to succeed in IELTS examination is B . A. to change your attitude to the examination B. to become less nervous and get relaxed C. to overcome the fear of making mistakes D. to pay less attention to the examination 57. When does the IELTS test become a “high stakes” examination? A A. Right after the students take intense training courses. B. After the students take IELTS courses for quite a while. C. During the time when students take IELTS training courses. D. After the students were forced to succeed.58. Which of the following is NOT included in the therapy? D A. Students are asked to speak in front of the peers. B. Students are invited to a comfortable environment. C. Students are supposed to build up trust among peers. D. Students are forced to speak if they don't feel like to.59. In Paragraph Two, “hot seating the students ” can be interpreted as A . A. imitating the examination positionB. trapping the students in a pressing positionC. giving the students very difficult questionsD. asking the students to predict the examination questions 60. What can be inferred from Paragraph Three? CA. IELTS should be a less tense place to let the students relax.B. Students should not wait for the examiner to ask them questions.C. Students should be self-motivated during the IELTS oral exanimation.D. Students will surely be encouraged by the peers and the class teacher. Passage ThreeOne of the most important things to remember when you are learning a language is that you have to practice what you’ve learnt. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes – message across if it means that we might make a mistake or look foolish. But at the end of the day, we learn languages because we want to communicate and if we have a laugh along the way that helps us learn.Perhaps the most difficult skill to perfect is that of speaking. We may have a lot of passive knowledge stored away – many interesting words, synonyms, complex structure s that we’re proud of. Words that we recognize and understand when we read them, but it’s far more difficult to activate that knowledge. It’s often the case that once you take the first step to overcome your suppression, the next steps become much easier. If you find yourself in an English-speaking environment, it’s important to start practicing your English as soon as you can. Take advantage of every opportunity to start up a conversation, whether at a bus stop or in a store, at your hotel or in a restaurant. Don’t be afraid to ask people to repeat themselves if you don't understand what they have said.Even if most people don’t have the chance to practice the spoken language on a daily basis, they will probably have the opportunity to listen to English. There are English programs on the radio and television. There are English videos and if you have access to cable or satellite television, there are endless channels devoted to English. You can watch the news 24 hours a day on the BBC or CNN. Whatever your interests, you are sure to find something that satisfies you. If you want to expand your vocabulary as well, try and write down any new words as you hear them.61. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? D A. All the people will laugh if your English is poor.B. Most of the people will not laugh if your English is poor.C. All the People will make fun of you if your English is poor.D. Most of the people will not make fun of you if your English is poor. 62. Why spoken English is the most difficult part to learn? C A. Because we learn it passively.B. Because we can hardly understand the words.C. Because to use English freely is the most difficult.D. Because English-speaking environment is hard to create. 63. If you have the chance to be in the UK, you should A . A. find any chance to speak with foreigners B. go to the public places as much as possibleC. listen carefully what foreigners are saying to each otherD. ask foreigners to repeat their words as much as possible64. If you don't have chances to practice spoken English, you can C .A. watch television everydayB. listen to pop songs all day longC. do anything relative to English as long as it satisfies your interestD. have the chance to buy cable or satellite television 65. We can infer from the passage that D . A. spoken English is the key to good EnglishB. practice is decided by the environment you are inC. vocabulary is the fundamental basis in English learningD. you ca n never perfect your spoken English if you don’t practise Passage FourMama barely earned enough for our family as a member of Department of Health in a small town. In addition to paying the bills and expenses, she insisted on sending us to a private school. But Mama was really hardworking. Each day she took a 90-minute bus ride to her office and back again to our small home. Often, she traveled across rocky roads to faraway villages to do fieldwork, sometimes coming home sunburned and aching.Raising three kids on her own was extremely difficult. Sometimes during examinations, we had to stand before the severe-looking officers and beg them to allow us to take the exams even though our school fees weren’t paid up. I often wonder why Mama didn’t send us to a public school instead. But I know exactly what she would have said if I asked her: “Education is important. We may not be rich but at least I have given you that priceless gift.” Mama pulled me back from thoughts as I stared at the suitcase in the corner. The suitcase and all the things inside it would be the only things from home that Mama would have with her when she left for Canada in a week’s time. Holding out her needle and thread, she said: “Inday, could you please do it for me?” I understood what sh e meant. She always asked me to put the thread through the needle hole when she was sewing. Sometimes it annoyed me.But today, as I took the needle and thread from Mama, I noticed that her nose shined with sweat from the effort of trying to do it herself.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The application of computers has brought with it new set of opportunities for mischief and crime. Today, computers are easy to come by and many people know how computer technology works. More importantly, the growing use of computer networks can multiply a breach of security, making larger numbers of people more vulnerable than would be the case if they were using single, stand-alone computers.What’s more, computer experts agree that − despite recent widespread publicity − computer viruses are only one of many computer security problems facing the nation.The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project has requested that the Research Council’s Computer Science and Technology Board assess that security problems posed by computer technology, see what solutions may already exist, review research efforts aimed at avoiding security problems in the future, and evaluate existing policies relevant to computer security. The study committee will examine the issue of secrity for a broad spectrum of users, including the business, national security, and academiccommunities, as well as the general public.David D. Clark, senior research scientist, Laboratory for Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will chair the committee of experts in electronic security, net-work security, computer law, soft-ware engineering, cryptography, and operating systems. The committee will also include computer users from the defense and banking industries.The study is expected to be completed by late 1990. 71.

FuriousPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simplyto pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarilyis how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something. “Nice weather” or “are you ?” will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention somuch that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not gettingenough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children is2dinnertime--it’s the end of the day,everyb o dy is tired,the house is in a mess andJohnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap tofall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument abouthis food.Again,he’s getting the attention he desires;even if it’s not the best sort ofascinating if you are able to stand backattention,it’sbetter than nothing.It’sfrom the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food---after all,he is one that is doing what you want him to do.Afterfive or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprive of the attention,it’s am how quickly(usually) Johnny sees sense and obeys.I’ve watched my own childrenin this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa,say ing “Mummy,aren’t I---all without having one word a spoken to them bydoing good dinner eating ? ”their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to getrealit,doesn’t disappearwhen we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are “ attention seekers ” i n a loud and extravert (外向的) way,and there are theshy,retiring types who don’t w ant attention in such a “ sociable ” w ay.Buteverybody still wants to be recognized and seen worthwhile.6.What will children probably do to get parentsattention ? A.They will get quiet for a long time.B.They will ignore theirparents. C.They will behavenaughtily. D.

Praise their sisters or brothers9. “ Real attention seekers ” in the last paragraph are probably those ______ ?A. motivate others to learnB. associate with shy typesC. reply on negative attentionD. arouse others’ attention openly10.What point does the author make by relating to children’sbehavior ? A.Children’s upbringing needs parents’ constant care.B.Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable.C.Both children and adults need to be seen as worthwhile.D.The motivation of children differs greatly from that ofadults.3Passage ThreeQuestions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Named for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of southDakota have for centuries been considered holy by Lakota Sioux,once the mostpowerful tribe in the west.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the landitself has been holy in another way.It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and fourhundred workers 14 years to complete an artistic and engineering project so monumental that no one believe it possible: carving and blasting the six-storyfaces of Washington.Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out ofstony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia: Washington’ eyes are each 11 feet wide,and his nose is 26 feet long.Mr.Lincoln, sports a mole that measures 16 inches across.Just 17 miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly takingshape.Also carved into granite,this memorial,when completed somewhere around2050,after a century’s labor,this depict Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at 563 feet tall.The horse’s nostril alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful 14-mile Needles Highway,pastbillion-year-old Granite hills,so Sylvan lake and then north to Spearfish Canyonused inScenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdropsthe film Dances with Wolves.Altematively,you can park your bags in the pleasantGame lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of thehistoric inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president andhis wife occupied during the three months in 1972.The lodge is one of three foundwithin Custer State Park,whose 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road runs throughunfenced meadows where herds of buffalo roam.11. The word “ sports ” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. is famous forB. is characterized byC. is decorated withD. is accompanied by12.Of the four things mentioned in the passage,which one is the largest ?A.

A.be more selfless in teamworkB.ask more questions whensurveyed C.be considerate leadersin company D.claim thecontribution18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and US ?5A.The findings are irrelevantB.The findings are contradictoryC.The findings match each otherD.The findings are notsignificant19.What does the phrase “penny-pinching compan ies ” means ? panies that lack moneypanies that are very generouspanies that earn a lot of moneypanies that are unwilling to usemoney 20.What’s the main idea of thepassage ? A.Men are better managers thanwomen B.Women are better managers thanmen C.Male managers are more willing tolearnD.Male leaders and females leaders have different advantagesFormatⅡ（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Directions: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

When Daniel was a little boy, I followed him to the bus on the first day in preschool. I 68 the excitement in his hand that held mine when the bus came round the corner. He looked at me—just 69 he did now. And then he boarded the bus and 70 . The bus drove away. And I hadn’t71 a word.Some ten years later, a similar episode 72 . His mother and I drove him to the university where he was going to 73 .The next morning Dan began to throw up (呕吐). He was ill in bed when I wanted to say goodbye.74 the words let me down.

Why does it have to be so 77 to tell your son how you feel? My mouth was 78 , and I knew I would only say a few words.“Dan,”I79 stammered out（结结巴巴地说）,“if I had the choice myself, I would 80 you.”That was all I could say.

Many countries fought for the power andriches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas whichdemanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possiblybecause of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many menof genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however,produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, andscientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Ageof Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardoda Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings butalso for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting isthe "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was anartist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked withother forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceilingof the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced picturesout of many different actions.101.Another name for the 16th century is the .A.Classical AgeB.Middle AgesC."Age of Genius"D.Age of Renaissance102.To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and few in other is .A.an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC.not importantD.unnecessary103.Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraphof the passage?A.Geniuses are born talented.B.Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C.Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D.A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104.is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A.RaphaelB.Leonardo da VinciC.MichelangeloD.Mona Lisa105.Michelangelo is known for .A.his Mona LisaB.his paintings in Sistine ChapelC.his well-balanced picturesD.his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions( 预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of newsevents.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the nextstep. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from withinjournalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the presentgeneration of journalists and publishers will have to die off before thenext generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer anewspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditionalnewspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replacenewsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to completethe changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapershave established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry.106.The best title for this passage is ./doc/3d18748196.html,puter Newspapers are Well LikedB.Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC.Newspapers Are out of FashionD.New Communications Technology107.It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replacetraditional newspapers, because .A.it is technologically impossible now/doc/3d18748196.html,puter newspapers are too expensiveC.there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalistsD.traditional newspapers are easy to read108.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A.They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB.They are very convenient to useC.You can get more information from them quicklyD.You can easily save information for future use109.Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers,because .A.they don’t know how to use computersB.they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC.they think the new technology is badD.they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110.We can infer from the passage that .A.all technological changes are goodB.all technologies will eventually replace old onesC.new technologies will eventually replace old onesD.traditional newspapers are here to stay for another centuryPassage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a greatdeal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personalworth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. Ayoungster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighterbrothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became soafraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course,they shouldbe corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But thecriticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself;it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）.The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying :“I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t wantyou to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body,and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information thatthey will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for theirpersonal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted,not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a motherfeels that she must rea d her daughte’r s diary to know what is going on,the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to buildtheir lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinionsof others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The bestway to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towel（s 毛巾）f r o m a h o t e l w i l l t h i n k t h a t i t i s a l l r igh t t o s t e a l.A y o u n g s t e r w h o s e e s n o l a u g h t e r a n d n o l o v ei n t h e h o m e w i l lh a v e a d i f f i c u l t t i m e l a u g h i n g a n d l o v i n g.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owethe child something. And if you give him his due, h’e ll have somethingof value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.A ccording to the passage, parents owe their children the followingthings except .A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. informationabout their body112.The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are in charge of themselves because .A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.W hich of the following ways is advised for parents to show love totheir children?A.Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB.Never embracing older childrenC.Refusing something to the childrenD.Never criticizing children.114.T he word “due” in the last paragraph means .A.something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB.reasonable explanations or plansC.what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD.the money to be paid115.W hich of the following is true according to the passage?A.Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B.Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C.Children shouldn’t be corr ected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D.It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worseyou’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look,a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.116.The main idea of the text is that .A.stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB.it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC.films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD.the camera has made film making easy and possible117.What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before thestage?A.Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B.The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C.The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D.The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118.Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A.It can move easily.B.It can make small things look larger.C.It can show things in the future.D.It can give us a scene of realism.119.In what way are plays different from film?A.Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B.Films can show the past while plays can’t.C.Films change scenes while plays don’t.D.Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is .A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. Besides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoidembarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121.In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he .A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122.If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with123.In Poland, it is for the hostess to remove the cover of the bunch of flower somebody presented to her.A. impoliteB. politeC. expectedD. unexpected124.In Bulgaria, if a man nods, it means that he with you.A. will have a talkB. disagreesC. will shake handsD.agrees125.The sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans d o”means that .A.we should learn from the RomansB.we should work as the Romans doC.we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.D.we have been RomansEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants itto be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel thata certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions。

The telephone book lists restaurants for each city according to the name, area of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants put up their menus on the window, and you are not sure about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you sit down at a table, or just ask about the price. Appearances from the outside can be misleading--- what looks like a smell, informal restaurant may really be very expensive, and what looks like a large, expensive restaurant may be very reasonable.You can get a meal for about $4 or $5 or a little more if you eat in a snack bar of coffee shop, but in most city restaurants you should expect to pay $8 to $10 a person for dinner, with alcoholic drinks and wine extra. Prices in New York City are even higher.1. Restaurant in each city are listed in the telephone book according to __________.

Appearances of the restaurant from the outside can give you some wrong idea.D. Any kind of restaurants can be found in most of the large cities.答案: DPassage 3Our risk of cancer rises dramatically as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors —or doesn’t it?While such vigilant(警觉的)tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it’s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing. In many cases, screening can lead to additional biopsies and surgeries to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not pose serious health problems in patients’ remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a riotous reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy groups. It’s hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or prior personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy(预期寿命).A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening- especially considering the explosion of the elderly that will soon swell our population.It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that make sense for the whole patie nt. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves. We need to think about the rational use of health care and stop talking about the rationing of health care.” That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.121.Why do doctors recommend routine cancer screening for elderly people?（）A. It is believed to contribute to long life.B. It is part of their health care package.C. The elderly are more sensitive about their health.D. The elderly are in greater danger of tumor growth.答案: D2.How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?（）A. It adds too much to their medical bills.B. It helps increase their life expectancy.C. They are doubtful about necessity.D. They think it does more than good.答案: C3.What is the conventional view about women screening for breast cancer?（）A. It applies to women over 50.B. It is a must for adult women.C. It is optional for young women.D. It doesn’t apply to women over 74.答案: B4.Why do many doctors prescribe routine screening for cancer?（）A. They want to protect themselves against medical disputes.B. They want to take advantage of the medical care system.C. They want data for medical research.D. They want their patients to suffer less.答案: A5.What does the author say is the general view about health care? （）A. The more, the better.B. Prevention is better than cure.C. Better early than late.13D. Better care, longer life.答案: APassage 4Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure. In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences. According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out. An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester. Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said. At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing. "One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration." "I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations." The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race. Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.1.What can we learn from some recent studies? （）A. Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.B. Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.C. Interracial lodging does more harm than good.D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.答案: D2.What does Sam Boakye's remark mean? （）14A. White students tend to look down upon their black peers.B. Black students can compete with their white peers academically.C. Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.答案: D3.What does the Indiana University study show? （）A. Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.B. Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.C. Roommates of different races just don't get along.D. Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.答案: A4.What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"? （）A. Students of different races are required to share a room.B. Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.C. Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.D. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.答案: D5.What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging? （）A. It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.B. Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.C. Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.D. Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.答案: APart IV Writing (共15分)Directions: For this part, write a short essay on the topic of Online Shopping.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B. C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high offices.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.。

We had bought many things. I was feeling really tired as I was carrying our shopping bag. I decided to throw something away. I was walking towards a dustbin（垃圾箱）when I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us. He walked to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it.I suddenly felt very sorry because I was going to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy. I walked up to him and gave the drink and some bread to him，which surprised him. The man looked at me in surprise and took what I gave him. A big smile appeared on his face. I felt I couldn’t be happier with myself. But then he said，“Wow，this is my son’s lucky day！”With that，he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him singing as he rode away. I got a warm feeling inside. I now understand what it means by the saying “Giving is getting.”Though it was only a little action，I got and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month. Everyone in the world needs help. Everyone can give help and everyone can be helped.The look of the man’s happiness appears in my mind whenever I have the chance to do something nice.1.

Last year I went to a differentmiddle school. Over the summer my father got a new job, so our whole family moved. Now I go to Wilson.I want to make some comments based on my unique perspective as someone who hasattended two different middle schools. For example, I was surprised by all the complaints that the students at Wilson make about the food in the cafeteria. Either they don’t like it, or they want more choices. But I like the food. The dishes are pretty tasty. And as for choices, at the school I went to last year there were never more than two lunch options each day. Sometimes there was only one!However, I don’t want anyone to think that I have a negative opinion of the Wilsonstudents. Actually, I have been impressed with how involved the students here are. I plan to participate in some of the special clubs here that are organized by students, like the photography club and the hiking club. At my last school, students were not as actively involved in forming clubs.6.

Whereas terrestrial animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling, flying animals move at much higher speeds, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in graphic detail how bats move their wings. In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently from birds, and their wings incorporate both their front and hind limbs. This makes coordinating their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances. However, they are much better at maneuverability: a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do.Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats land—upside down! Unlike birds, which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. How do they do it? A group of researchers recently used video cameras to film bats landing on nets suspended from the ceiling of their laboratory and studied the recordings in slow motion. They painted spots on the bats’ wings to see in detail what happens to the wings in flight and during touchdown. It turns out that the bats flew in a straight line up to the net and then quickly flipped over and attached themselves to it upside down. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often slam into their landing spot with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes itshome. For example, a cave bat, which regularly perches on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops.11. What is the main topic of the passage?A Places where flying animals choose to landB Why scientists have difficulty observing batsC Differences in the eating habits of bats and birdsD Ways in which bats move differently from birds12. In the 1nd paragraph, the word terrestrial is closest in meaning to _______.A high-flyingB fast-movingC tree-climbingD ground-living13. According to the passage, what skill is crucial for flying animals?A Diving underwaterB Slowing down to landC Flying over great distancesD Balancing on high branches14. Which of the following is a false assumption about bats that was recently corrected?A They cannot hear.B They sleep upside down.C They fly similarly to birds.D They hide in tree branches.15.In the 2nd paragraph, the word incorporate is closest in meaning to _______.A addB deliverC includeD discoverDDBCC。

It is hard to understand that we are polluting the air we breathe and the water we drink. These are two elements that are not inexhaustible, and we must realize that once we reach the point of no return, there will be nothing left for future generations. Dr. McKinley: Mr. Desai, what an honor it is to have this opportunity to interview you. Can you please share your wisdom with our readers and tell us where you see the environmental crisis heading?Amrit Desai: We are not separate from the problem. We are the problem. We live divided lives. On one hand, we ask industries to support our greed for more and more conveniences, comfort and possessions. We have become addicted consumers, which causes industrial waste. At the same time, we ignore the connection between our demands and the exploitation of Mother Earth. When we are greedy for more than what we need for our well-being, we always abuse the resources of our body and the earth.We are nurtured by the healthy condition of Mother Earth. In humans, if the mother is ailing, the child suffers. We are the cause of the ailing planet and we are the victims.Dr. McKinley: In closing, I thank all of the participants. I have learned a great deal about what I can do as an individual to help the environment.I hope these interviews encourage the readers of Awareness Magazine to take action and develop your own strategy. Too many of us just sit back and say “I’ll let the experts deal with it.” Meanwhile, we are killing the planet. My aim of this interview is to show how one person can make a difference. Thanks to all for offering your wisdom.(1).

(单选题) Which of the following best explains Amrit Desai’s words “we live divided lives”?A、We pollute Mother Earth in pursuing a better life, which, consequently, hurts ourselves.B、We are never satisfied with what we have, and we do not make good use of natural resources.C、If Mother Earth is ill, we, as her children, cannot live a complete life.D、Though we have created the environmental problem, we try to separate ourselves from it.标准答案：A(3). (单选题) According to Amrit Desai the relationship between humans and Mother Earth is（）A、sons—motherB、patients—doctorC、causes—effectD、victims—cause标准答案：C(4).

(单选题) What’s Dr. McKinley’s job?A、 A doctorB、An interviewerC、 A journalistD、An environmental expert标准答案：B33. (阅读理解)Passage 2Safety on the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are five ways which can protect ourselves when we travel.1. You are safer in a larger car.People in small cars are injured more often and more severely（剧烈的）than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are building in more safety, which helps. But the mix of a large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.2. Safety belts are necessary.Being thrown into glass and metal car parts or being thrown from the car can really do damage to you. That’s why safety belt should be worn. The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object or if it rolls over.A belt can reduce the chance of fatal （致命的）injury by 45 percent and the chance of serious injury by 50 percent.3. Air bags are important.More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers when they are also wearing safety belts. More people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or back crashes. Though they are effective, they can’t take the place of safety belts.4. A vehicle’s head rest is not for relaxing your head.The purpose of the head rest is to protect your neck and head if a car knocks you from behind. Without protection, your neck or your head can be badly hurt. Your head rest should be set so that it can fully support your head and neck in a crash.5. Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink.Drunk driving is the most serious problem.

Today it is used to talk about various styles of music. In the early 1900s, however, jazz was a kind of folk music played by African Americans. This early jazz was played by people in their daily lives simply for their own enjoyment. Indeed, whenever people got together, jazz could be heard.Jazz was a mix of styles from Europe and Africa. From Europe, the first jazz musicians borrowed ideas about melody and harmony, and the instruments they used. From Africa, they borrowed ideas about rhythm. Jazz rhythm was very strong--it made people want to clap their hands or tap their feet. African rhythm had a different beat from most of other music. For example, instead of One-two-Three-four, the beat might be one-Two-three-Four. It was this rhythm that made jazz sound different. There was no other kind of music like it in the United States at that time.Today, jazz has become a way for many people to express themselves musically. It is also a way for many people to make a lot of money by performing. The audience for jazz is international. Many of the world's biggest jazz festivals now take place in Europe and Asia. Fans pay a lot of money to see one of their favorite musicians in concert or buy one of their recordings. It can certainly be said that jazz has influenced almost every other kind of music in the United States and Europe and produced some of the world's greatest musicians, composers and singers.(1).

Many countries fought for the power and riches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas which demanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possibly because of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many men of genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however, produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, and scientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Age of Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings but also for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting is the "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was an artist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked with other forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced pictures out of many different actions.101. Another name for the 16th century is the ________.A. Classical AgeB. Middle AgesC. "Age of Genius"D. Age of Renaissance102. To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and fewin other is __________.A. an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC. not importantD. unnecessary103. Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraph of the passage?A. Geniuses are born talented.B. Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C. Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D. A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104. _________ is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A. RaphaelB. Leonardo da VinciC. MichelangeloD. Mona Lisa105. Michelangelo is known for __________.A. his Mona LisaB. his paintings in Sistine ChapelC. his well-balanced picturesD. his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Wantmore information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions(预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry. 106. The best title for this passage is_______.A. Computer Newspapers are Well LikedB. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC. Newspapers Are out of FashionD. New Communications Technology107. It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, because__ .A. it is technologically impossible nowB. computer newspapers are too expensiveC. there is strong resistance from both the general population andprofessional journalistsD. traditional newspapers are easy to read108. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB. They are very convenient to useC. You can get more information from them quicklyD. You can easily save information for future use109. Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers, because_______.A. they don’t know how to use computersB. they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC. they think the new technology is badD. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110. We can infer from the passage that_______.A. all technological changes are goodB. all technologies will eventually replace old onesC. new technologies will eventually replace old onesD. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century Passage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became so afraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）. The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying : “I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels（毛巾） from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except______.A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. information about their body112. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are incharge of themselves because_________.A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?A. Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB. Never embracing older childrenC. Refusing something to the childrenD. Never criticizing children.114.The word “due” in the last paragraph means_________.A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanations or plansC. what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD. the money to be paid115.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 116. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible117. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage?A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A. It can move easily.B. It can make small things look larger.C. It can show things in the future.D. It can give us a scene of realism.119. In what way are plays different from film?A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B. Films can show the past whi le plays can’t.C. Films change scenes while plays don’t.D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is _______.A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. B esides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121. In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he _____.A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122. If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he _____ you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with123. In Poland, it is _____ for the hostess to remove the cover of the bunch of flower somebody presented to her.A. impoliteB. politeC. expectedD. unexpected 124. In Bulgaria, if a man nods, it means that he _______ with you.A. will have a talkB. disagreesC. will shake handsD.agrees125. The sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” means that _______.A.we should learn from the RomansB. we should work as the Romans doC. we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.D. we have been RomansEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely（仅仅） choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(生坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something —all of which mean that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 126. All artists are common in that _____.A. they use shapes and colors instead of wordsB. they are trying to teach the publicC. what they want to teach is difficult to explainD. they want to learn from the public127. A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible because he believes they _____.A. are beautifulB. can bring delight to himC. are worth showing to the publicD. are particular128.Contemporary artists choose subjects _____.A. without reference to the character of their subjectsB. that only provide an interesting patternC. that there is no meaning in itD. partly for the meaning of the subjectsparing the painter who paints a gangrenous leg with the one who paints a lake in moonlight,we can draw the conclusion that _____.A. both convey the same meaningB. both show certain aspects of the worldC. the latter is more meaningfulD. the former is more meaningful130.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The public could share the artist’s feelings through their choiceof shapes and colors.。

(阅读理解题)Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you thatnothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have readstories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait forcertain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.(1). ( 单选题) What does “nothing is further from the truth” mean(本题2.0分)A、 Something. is completely untrue.B、 Something is completely true.C、 We can find out the truth.D、 We cannot find out the truth.学生答案：A标准答案：A解析：得分：2(2).

(阅读理解题)Advertisements make us want too much, so we get the idea that the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. But it is not completely right. Advertisement has another equally important function—to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washer, it is morethan likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of bad news. We must not forget that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job; buy or sell a house; announce a birth, marriage, or death in these small ads.(1).

(阅读理解题)Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in othercountries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.(1). ( 单选题 ) Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.(本题2.0分)A、 America is a highly developed countryB、 American city people seem to be always in a rushC、 the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people学生答案：B标准答案：B解析：得分：2(2).

(阅读理解题)Even if the word ‘pop’ disappears from the English vocabulary, the influence of pop will remain. Pop has become part of British and American history. There has always been a close cultural link, or tie, between Britain and English-speaking America, not only in literature but also in popular arts, especially music. Before the Second World War the Americans exported jazz and the blues. During the 1950s they exported rock ’n’ roll, and star singers like Elvis Presley were admired by young British and Americans alike. Then in the early 1960s a new sound was heard, very different from anything which had sofar come from the American side of the Atlantic. This was the Liverpool, or Merseyside, ‘beat’. The new pop culture, in a few years, swept across Britain and America, and across most of the countries of the western world. The people responsible for the pop revolution were four Liverpool boys who joined together in a group and called themselves The Beatles. They played in small clubs in the back streets of the city. Unlike the famous solo stars, who had their songs written for them, the Beatles wrote their own words and music. They had a close personalrelationship with their audience, and they expected them to join in and dance to the ‘beat’ of the music. Audience participation is an essential characteristic of pop culture. Some pop groups, in particular the Rolling Stones, did more than just entertain. They wrote words which were deliberately intended to shock. They represented the anger and bitterness of youth struggling for freedom against authority. The Beatles, on the other hand, finally won the admiration of people. As they developed, their songs became more serious. They wrote not only of love, but of death and poverty and daily life.
