Violence is shown everywhere. It is hard to turn on your media source and not find violence displayed, no matter it’s tel

evision, internet, print media, or even radio.
TV has become one of the most popular types of entertainment over the years and it undoubtedly has been portraying violence not only on shows but also on news. Shows display scenes of bloody shootings. The news adds to the problem by reporting scenes of fightings and bombings. And in the shelves of game shops, there are many games out there where the hero is in a battle and the goal of the game is to beat your opponent with all kinds of weapons including bombs, guns, and knives.
Movies are no different than video games and TV. Every producer is including violence into their stories because they know that violence sells. Most movies in the last couple of months and even years have revolved around war such as Pearl Harbor, Enemy at the Gates, Saving Private Ryan, and Black Hawk Down.
It isn’t surprising that youths are becoming more aggressive these days since the idea of violence is getting hammered into their heads everyday through the different types of media in our society. Finding solutions as to how media violence can be controlled is no easy job. However, throughout the years, a few methods have been presented by experts concerned with this issue.
In some countries, media ratings systems have been established by industry groups to identify violent content that may not be suitable for young children. These ratings systems act as guides for parents to make informed decisions about their children’s entertainment selections. Examples of these industry ratings systems include Motion Picture Association of America movie ratings, the TV Parental Guidelines that rate American television shows and the British Board of Film Classification.
Media literacy groups and the entertainment industry argue that censoring artistic images or music will not solve the problems of an already violent society. So rather than censorship, they urge parents and teachers to talk to their children about the consequences of violence and to use technology and warnings such as the V-chip, TV show ratings, and parental warning stickers to prevent children from accessing violent material at all. (10分)
(1) People can find violence ________. (2分) A.in newspapers B.on TV C.in internet D.All of the above 答案: D (2) By citing Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor and so on, the author intends to illustrate ________. (2分)

A.it can bring a lot of profit. B.people are becoming aggressive. https://www.doczj.com/doc/696607555.html, producers do so. D.it is a violent society. 答案: A (4) Which of the following is NOT the aim of media ratings system? (2分)
A.To act as guide for parents. B.To identify the violent content that may not be suitable for kids.

C.To prevent the producing of content that is not suitable for kids. D.To help parents make informed decisions about children’s entertainment. 答案: C (5) According to the text, what do the media literacy groups suggest? (2分)
A.Parents make all the decision about their children’s entertainment choices. B.The entertainment industry no longer produces violent programs. C.Parents adopt censorship to censor the artistic images or music. D.Parents talk directly to their children about the consequences of violence. 答案: D 3. Among the few scientists who have had a great effect on science and history, Albert Einstein is perhaps the greatest. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view of the universe. His theory has completely changed the way scientists understand time and space. Now, more and more people agree that the universe is something complicated than what they have ever thought before.
Einstein was born is Germany in 1879. By 1914, young Einstein, already internationally famous, became a professor at an institute in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study. However, his peaceful life was soon broken by the First World War.
Einstein hated violence. He was deeply affected by the war; he sat unhappily in his office doing little and lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the years following the First World War, people showered honors upon him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize for Physics and was greatly honored and respected in Germany. However, his life was again disrupted. The Second World War broke out and Einstein had to move to the US, where he lived until his death in 1955. (10分)

(2分) A.the secret of the universe B.Einstein’s great influence C. an American college president D.the difficulty of Einstein’s theory 答案: B (2) The passage tells us that young Einstein ______.

A.He was always unhappy in his office. B.The world wars affected him greatly. C.He kept working until peace came in 1918. D.His theory changed the form of the universe. 答案: B 4. 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. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hur

ry 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 other countries 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. (10分)

(2分) A.it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city B.people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable C.most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities D.those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly 答案: D (4) The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Paris ___________.

(2分)

rn a language, they learn the grammar as well as the words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.
Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired, and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling(牙牙学语)stage”. A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child first utterances(言语)are one-word sentences. After a few months,the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.
All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race(种族), social class, geography, or even intelligence. This ability is uniquely human.

He amazed the world by speed and he was awarded the Sportsman of the Year in 2009 and may be awarded again in 2010 by the Laureus World Sports Awards, the “Sports Oscar”. No doubt he is Usain Bolt.
At the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Usain Bolt set a new record of 9.69 seconds at Bird’s Nest in the 100 metres and won the 200 meters at a world record time, and broke the world record in the men’s 400-meter relay. In 2009 he made history again in Berlin World Championships by breaking his own 200 meters world record in time of 19.19 seconds and 100 meters in time of 9.58 seconds. He is regarded as the fastest man on the planet and is called “Lightning Bolt”.
Usain Bolt was born on August 21, 1986 in Jamaica. As a child he enjoyed excellent gifts in sports. But he wasn’t trained for running at first. Upon his entry to William Knibb Memorial High School, his cricket coach found Bolt very good at running and encouraged him to be a runner. His school had a successful history of training young sportsmen. With the help of his coaches, Bolt made rapid progress in his running abilities.
In his first Caribbean national event, Bolt ended the 200 meters in the first place in 21.81 seconds. At the age of 15 Bolt won both the 200 and 400 meters events in the High School Championships, CARIFTA Games and Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships. In 2002, Bolt got two gold medals and one silver in the World Junior Championships in Kingston, his hometown and became very famous. Then he signed a deal with Puma, and the company helped his dream in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. And just at the Beijing Olympics Bolt amazed the whole the world with a miracle and broke the world record the first time.
What makes him so successful? Of course, Bolt was born with great gifts and his height gives him long steps. But he says there’s more to it. “It has been hard work. Year after year, after year, after year of work. So that’s what got me so good,” he said. (10分)
(1) Why is Bolt called “Lightning Bolt”? (2分) A.Because he won the award twice. B. Because he was a good sprinter(短跑运动员). C.Because he is the fastest runner in short distance till now. D. Because he got a lot of medals. 答案: C (2) How man

2. can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame(荣誉).
Because ill health is universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution(体系;机构). To the sociologist(社会学家), then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment of disease.
In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer(治疗者). The latter is typically also the priest(牧师), who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.

4. 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. But 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 other countries 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. (10分)

5. Faces, like fingerprints are unique. Did you 1(?) wonder how it is possible for us to 2(?) people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the 3(?) that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—4(?) an animal, such as a cat—can learn to recognize faces.

6. People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarkets? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles(过道)between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it. You probably hear slow music as you walk along the aisles; if you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The super-market plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The dairy department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it

. One store has three different containers of low fat milk. One says “1% Fat” on the container. The second says “99% Fat Free”. The third says “Low Fat” in big letters and “1%” in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However in this store the three containers of milk don’t cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most. (10分)

7. When children learn a language, they learn the grammar as well as the words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.
Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired, and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling(牙牙学语)stage”. A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child first utterances(言语)are one-word sentences. After a few months,the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.
All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race(种族), social class,

geography, or even intelligence. This ability is uniquely human.

1. Among the few scientists who have had a great effect on science and history, Albert Einstein is perhaps the greatest. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view of the universe. His theory has completely changed the way scientists understand time and space. Now, more and more people agree that the universe is something complicated than what they have ever thought before.
Einstein was bo

rn is Germany in 1879. By 1914, young Einstein, already internationally famous, became a professor at an institute in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study. However, his peaceful life was soon broken by the First World War.
Einstein hated violence. He was deeply affected by the war; he sat unhappily in his office doing little and lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the years following the First World War, people showered honors upon him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize for Physics and was greatly honored and respected in Germany. However, his life was again disrupted. The Second World War broke out and Einstein had to move to the US, where he lived until his death in 1955. (10分)
(1) The first paragraph is mainly about _______. (2分) A.the secret of the universe B.Einstein’s great influence C. an American college president D.the difficulty of Einstein’s theory 答案: B

2. People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other two times or more. In Germany, it would be unusual to hear more than one “thank you” each in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I noticed was that English people seldom criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers explained several times that none of their words were meant as criticism. I feel that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also showed in other ways: British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women for a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men!
Talking about differences between the English and the Scottish, I have found tha

t Scottish people are a lot more like Germans as to politeness. They are more direct, and Scottish men especially are known for being very bad-tempered sometimes. Scottish dialect even has a special word for this: crabbit. Those crabbit Scottish men can be a little bit intense, but at least no one can blame them for pretending to be polite when they don’t feel like it.
This brings me back to English people, and the other side of their politeness coin. One word that easily springs to mind here is “artificial”. As enjoyable as it is to interact with friendly people, it has often made me wonder what the English really think. In fact, this confused me throughout my stay in their country. As everyone seemed to like me, I found it hard to understand who was really my friend and who was just being polite. I also wonder whether this whole politeness thing is actually connected to the great English love for getting drunk: this might give them a good excuse for being rude once in a while! (10分)
(1) What can we learn from the passage? (2分) A.The Scottish like the Germans more than the English. B.The Scottish belong to the German C.The Scottish are reserved (含蓄的). D.The Scottish may seem a little more intense than the English. 答案: D
(2) Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph One? (2分)
A. In Germany, customer and shop assistant usually thank each other more than once. B.British students give no thanks to the teachers when leaving the classroom. C.German employers would not thank their employees for doing their jobs. D. None of the above. 答案: C
(3) In what way are the Scottish men like the German men? (2分)
A.They like to criticize others in work. B.They like drinking. C.They are not so polite as the English. D.They treat women badly. 答案: C
(4) Which of the following things confused the author? (2分)
A.He couldn’t tell the English from the Scottish. B.He couldn’t accept the employer’s criticism. C.He didn’t know who were his real English friends. D.He didn’t know if he should get drunk. 答案: C
(5) Which of the following adjectives can best describe the author’s attitude towards the English manners? (2分)
A.Critical. B.Approving. C.Uninterested. D.Objective. 答案: D
3. He amazed the world by speed and he was awarded the Sportsman of the Year in 2009 and may be awarded again in 2010 by the Laureus World Sports Awards, the “Sports Oscar”. No doubt he is Usain Bolt.
At the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Usain Bolt set a new record of 9.69 seconds at Bird’s Nest in the 100 metres and won the 200 meters at a world record time, and broke the world record in the men’s 400-meter relay. In 2009 he made history again in Berlin World Championships by breaking his own 200 meters world record in time of 19.19 seconds and 100 meters in time of 9.58 seconds. He is regarded as the faste

st man on the planet and is called “Lightning Bolt”.
Usain Bolt was born on August 21, 1986 in Jamaica. As a child he enjoyed excellent gifts in sports. But he wasn’t trained for running at first. Upon his entry to William Knibb Memorial High School, his cricket coach found Bolt very good at running and encouraged him to be a runner. His school had a successful history of training young sportsmen. With the help of his coaches, Bolt made rapid progress in his running abilities.
In his first Caribbean national event, Bolt ended the 200 meters in the first place in 21.81 seconds. At the age of 15 Bolt won both the 200 and 400 meters events in the High School Championships, CARIFTA Games and Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships. In 2002, Bolt got two gold medals and one silver in the World Junior Championships in Kingston, his hometown and became very famous. Then he signed a deal with Puma, and the company helped his dream in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. And just at the Beijing Olympics Bolt amazed the whole the world with a miracle and broke the world record the first time.
What makes him so successful? Of course, Bolt was born with great gifts and his height gives him long steps. But he says there’s more to it. “It has been hard work. Year after year, after year, after year of work. So that’s what got me so good,” he said. (10分)
(1) Why is Bolt called “Lightning Bolt”? (2分) A.Because he won the award twice. B. Because he was a good sprinter(短跑运动员). C.Because he is the fastest runner in short distance till now. D. Because he got a lot of medals. 答案: C
(2) How many times had Bolt broken the world records by the end of 2009 according to the text? (2分)
A.Twice. B.Three times. C.Four times. D.Five times. 答案: D
(3) Who helped Bolt begin his career as a sprinter? (2分) A.His primary school teacher. B.His junior middle school teacher. C.His classmate. D.His cricket coach. 答案: D
(4) When and where did Bolt become famous for the first time according to the text? (2分)
A.In 2000, Sydney. B.In 2002, Kingston. C.In 2008, Beijing. D.In 2009, Berlin. 答案: B
(5) What made Bolt so successful? (2分) A.His talents. B. His hardworking. C.Great opportunities. D.All above but C. 答案: D
4. very close to mainland Europe's largest port.
The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields, six floors of equal area, at total of 500 acres (英亩) stretching skywards. The building, known as Deltapark, visualizes 300,000 pigs, 1.2 million chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof. The pigs could enjoy more space than on an average pig farm, and end their days in the slaughterhouse downstairs. Space without daylight in the giant building could be used for cultivating mushrooms (蘑菇) which grow well in the dark.
Higher up, greenhouses full

of tomatoes and flowers, grown in nutrient solutions collected from elsewhere in the building, would profit from the light. The system is theoretically a complete farming cycle, with one activity feeding another and everything being recycled.
Deltapark is to be run by managers, not farmers. It has nothing to do with agriculture as we now know it, and so far, only exists on paper. But the idea has created a heated debate in the Netherlands and attracted attention abroad. (10分)

(5) Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? (2分)
A.Farm of the Future B.Animal Farm C.Field of Your Dreams D.Animal Farm or Vegetable Farm 答案: A
5. Television, or TV, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. The name television 1(?) from the Greek word “tele”, meaning “far”, and the Latin word “videre”, meaning “to see”. Thus, television means “seeing far”.
