Josh Brown.BA Helping HandRiding her bike home from school,Susan saw her neighbor Mrs.Green on the sidewalk,holding her cat Kitty,"Hi,Mrs.Green," said Susan,"Where are you going?"Mrs.Green didn't answer and she looker a little bit confused.Susan rememberedher mom telling her that Mrs.Green had Alzheimer's (阿尔兹海默症).It causedpeople to become confused and have trouble remembering.Susan realized that Mrs.Green couldn't remember her way home and decided to help."It looks like we might have a storm soon," she said."Why don't I help you get Kitty home?"Susan extended (伸出)her hand to Mrs.Green and they began walking down the street toward Mrs.Green's house.As they arrived,Mrs.Green began to smile."I couldn't remember my way home," she said.Susan smiled and walked into the house with her.When Susan got home,she told her mom what happened.Susan's mom called Mrs.Green's daughter.She thanked them and said she would be at her mother's house in a few minutes.Then Susan's mom told her a little more about Alzheimer's disease.Susan wanted to help Mrs.Green as much as she could.She decided to help Mrs.Green with some housework that might be challenging because of the Alzheimer's disease."I'm proud of you,Susan," said her mom."Mrs.Green's daughter has a job and the children as well,so she'll probably be happy for your help." Susan nodded her head and smiled.4.On Susan's way home,she found Mrs.Green couldn't remember ______ .A. her bikeB. her own nameC. her way homeD. her cat5.Susan learned more about Alzheimer's disease from ______ .A. her momB.

Help Mrs.Green take care of her cat.D. Do some housework for Mrs.Green.CHave your ever helped younger children with their reading,writing or maths?Do you think it helpful for yourself?According to a study in the US,student tutoring (辅导)wins easily over computerized instruction.Now the idea is spreading in Britain.Throughout this term,a group of 14-year-old teenagers at Trinity Comprehensive school spend an hour a week helping children at a nearby primary school with their reading.All the teenage tutors have some lessons which help them to catch up with their classmates at a nearby primary school with their reading.All the teenage tutors have some lessons which help them to catch up with their classmates at school.Although their intelligence (智力)is around average (平均),they have fallen behind on reading,writing and maths.Jean Bond,from Warwick University,says that the main benefit of tutoring is that it helps build up the teenage tutors' self-esteem (自尊)."The younger children come rushing upevery time and welcome them.It makes the teenage tutors feel important.However,in normal school lessons,they often feel unable to deal with their school work.The teenage tutors need practice in reading,but if they have to do it in their own classes,they would say it is for kids and they get embarrassed(尴尬的)whenever they have to do it.They are struggling (挣扎)at school themselves,so when the younger ones can't learn,they know exactly why."The teenage tutors' own reading has improved as a result of reading stories aloud to the younger children.Their view of education is changed.They have become more sympathetic (赞同的)to their own teachers' difficulties because they are frustrated (沮丧的)themselves when the younger children behave in a silly way.The younger children get special attention from their patient tutors and they speak warmly of them." He doesn't shout like our teachers," says eight-year-old Jenny.Yet,her tutor Jack sees himself as a strict teacher.In the seven weeks of the experiment the teenage tutors have improved their reading and have received more recognition and feelings of worth than before.The younger children have made great progress in reading skills by the end of the experiment.7.According to Jean Bond,tutoring makes the teenage tutors ______ .A. get embarrassed easilyB. fail to deal with school workC. feel good of themselvesD. know why they can't learn8.What can we learn from the passage?______A. Student tutoring first started at schools in Britain.B. The teenage tutors are weak in their own studies at school.C. The younger children think the teenage tutors are strict with them.D. The experiment helps the younger children understand their teachers better.9.The writer's main purpose in writing this passage is to tell ______ .A. self-esteem is the key to one's successB. children should get special attentionC. the purpose of education is changedD. teaching is a good way to learnDWe probably all know people who are really good listeners.No matter what kind of situation we're in,they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we're not upset.They're caring and considerate,and even if we don't find a solution to our problem,we usually leave feeling more hopeful.We probably also know people who are good at managing their emotions.They don't get angry in stressful situations.Instead,they have the ability to look at a problem calmly and find a solution.They're usually willing to look at themselves honestly.They take criticism well,and they know when to use it to improve their performance.People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence (智力),or EI.They know themselves very well,and they're also able to sense the emotional needs of others.Would you like to be more like this?As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important as technical ability,organizations are increasingly using EI when they hire (雇佣).So,what exactly is emotional intelligence?We all have different characters,different wants and needs,and different ways of showing our emotions.Dealing with these all takes cleverness,especially if we hope to succeed in life.This is where emotional intelligence becomes important.Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions,understand what they're telling you,and realize how your emotions affect people around you.Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others:when you think over and get to know how they feel,this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.People with high emotional intelligence are usually successful in most things they do.Why?Because they're the ones that others want on their team.When they need help,they get it.People with strong social skills are typically team players.They help others develop and shine.Although regular (普通的)intelligence is important to success in life,emotional intelligence is key to relating well to others and achieving your goals.Many people believe that emotional intelligence is at least as important as regular intelligence and it is necessary for people to develop their emotional intelligence.10.The first and second paragraphs are mainly about ______ .A. how people can develop their EIB. what people with high EI are likeC. how people learn about EI in their workD. what people know about the history of EI11.The word " perception" in Paragraph 7 probably means" ______ ".A. feelingB. descriptionC. respectD. understanding12.The writer probably agrees that emotional intelligence is ______ .A. helpful for organizations to hire more peopleB. useful for people to develop different charactersC. the ability to know your own and others' emotionsD. the key for people to becoming the leaders in a team13.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?______A. Emotional Intelligence:Accept Different RelationshipsB. Emotional Intelligence:Develop Strong "People Skills"C. Emotional Intelligence:Make Teamwork SuccessfulD. Emotional Intelligence:Deal with "Life Goals"二、完形填空(本大题共8小题,共8.0分)Old Science in Practice "Win Your Dream Holiday!" was a competition for students who were interested in science.Students needed to think of an unusual method of measuring (计算)the height of Eiffel Tower.The first prize was trip to Paris to check their method in practice.Lots of students sent their applications (申请).The(14)were the students from Grade 8,No.16 Middle School."The idea just came into my head.Actually,it was a 2,600-year-old idea!

When we spoke to some children in the age group of 8 to 12, we were amazed to learn the different meanings they gave to that one word “freedom”.Here they put their ideas exactly the way their thoughts arose in their minds…“I don’t have to study. There’s no homework over the weekendand on vacation.”“Being able to watch my favorite channel Star Plus, CartoonNetwork whenever I like.”“Eating as many ice creams as I want.”“Going for school tours. On ly 4th and 5th class students gofor tours. We 3rd class students are not allowed.”“Not getting up early in the morning.”Radhika Jain (8 years) “Doing what I like but should be right …”“I will never do anything bad against rules like corruption.”“I won’t go against the government rules only of the rulesare right. Out of 100 percent if 80 percent say a rule is bad then it isbad.”Saloni (11 years)“We can do anything we want, like not going to school.” “Everything should be free. We should not pay money to buy anything.” “Can go anywhere I want … to the playground when exams are on.” “Chatting on phone with classmates or friends as long as I want.” “In school being able to play sports and not study.”“Flying kites.”Arihant Jain (12 years)1.

I've been preparing for my exams now for thelast two weeks.That's why I haven't written for such a long time.Since the beginning of this year we've been doing a project called “World Class”.Have you heard of it? Not everyone in the class could take part,but luckily I could.The school chose a “twin school”in a different area of the world.Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda, a country in Africa.They gave us someone to write to from that school.For three months,I've written to a girl called Louisa,who is the same age as me.It's been so interesting to hear about her life.She's told me all about her school and described her daily life.I can't believe that her school doesn't have any electricity.She goes to school from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening.I can't believe how lucky we are here!I love it because it's the first time I've thought about what life must be like somewhere else.I can't believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us.I think more people should help out with projects like this.At the weekend we're going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school.Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself — who knows?Lots of love,Suzanne1.Suzanne hasn't written to Estelle for long because she is _______.A.writing to a girl B.preparing for her examsC.busy doing a project D.choosing a “twin school”2.Suzanne felt _______ to take part in the Project “World Class”.A.strange B.surprised C.thankful D.lucky 3.Suzanne and her classmates will ________________ to help their twin school this weekend.A.write letters B.send clothes C.raise money D.go to AfricaB3(丰台)Charlie was about to climb into bed when he found there was a light on in his garden shed (工棚). Then he noticed some people who were busy stealing (偷) his things.He called the police righ t away. The policeman asked: “Are there any thieves (小偷)in your house?”Charlie replied “no” and explained what was happening.The police said: “All patrol cars (巡逻车) have gone out, and a policeman will go to your house when one is free.”Charlie hung up, waited 30 seconds, and then calledthe police again.“Hello, I just called a short while ago because therewere people stealing things from my shed. I want to let youknow that they’re not a problem anymore because I’ve justshot every one of them.”Charlie then hung up the phone. In five minutes, threepatrol cars, dozens of policeman and an ambulance arrivedat his house.

Read the short passages below.10 million reptiles are killed every year. Their skin is used to make fashion items, like handbags and shoes.The main reason whales are in danger is that man kills them for their meat and oils.Orangutans live in rainforests. They want to live in peace,But people are cutting down the trees for wood and farming.This is a big problem because the trees are the orangutan’s homes.They are very difficult to find and study because they are shy animals. They are also our cousins!There isn’t enough bamboo for pandas to eat because man has cut down nearly half the bamboo forests. Research has shown that there are only about 600 giant pandas left in the wild in the world. Most of them live in China.Some people steal the turtle’s eggs to eat. The skin of the turtle is used to make some jewellery.In the Far East, rhinoceros’ horns are used to make medicines. They are also used to make ornaments.So what can you do to help protect them?●Try not to buy jewellery made from animals.●Try to keep the earth clean and free from pollution.●Tell other people about what you’ve learned.1. Reptiles’ skin is used to make __________.A. fashion itemsB. oilsC. some jewelleryD. ornaments2. There are fewer homes for orangutans because _________________.A. their eggs are stolenB. their horns are cutC. trees in rain forests are cut downD. half the bamboo forests have been cut down3. “________________” doesn’t belong to protecting animals.A. Keeping the earth cleanB. Eating wild animal meatC. Stopping pollutionD. Telling others not to kill animalsB5(通州)When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note —“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time t aking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk.1. The milkman delivered milk to family _____ in the old days.A. by carB. by bikeC. on footD. by truck2. The writer’s mother put the note _____.A. into the bottlesB. into the milk boxC. in the kitchenD. in front of the door3. The writer brought back home an old milk box because he _____.A. missed the good old daysB. wanted to tell funny storiesC. needed it for his milk bottleD. wanted to give it to the milkmanB6(西城)A new museum about laziness has opened in Colombia’s capital, Bogota. But, you have to hurry if you want to find out about being lazy because the show lasts for only one week.The unusual show has displays (展品) that include things, such as sofas, beds, and anything that lets you take the weight off your feet. There are also plenty of televisions for visitors to watch while they walk around in the museum.The museum opened soon after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year.The museum’s keeper, Marcela Arrieta, said she wanted people to have a rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She added, “We always think about l aziness as an enemy of work.” Ms. Arrieta may not be pushing for a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we might require more free time than our jobs allow us. Avoiding the pressure (压力) of work and relaxing more may make us healthier and live longer.Try out her advice for yourself; take the weight off your feet, put your feet up, and think about being lazy.1. Visitors can ______ in the Museum of Laziness.A. repair sofasB. watch TVC. buy bedsD. get a job2. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2?A. Relax yourself.B. Become excited.C. Lose weight.D. Take off your shoes.3. The museum’s keeper thinks that ______.A. museums are good places to visitB. work is a big enemy of lifeC. people should rethink about lazinessD. the unusual show is very successfulB7(延庆)Our three-year-old daughter Becky wanted a dog. But we were too busy to buy one. One day, Becky ran in, shouting, “Mom! Come to see my dog!” Her face wasred with excitement.I followed her to the bush and found a wolf! He was hurt. Seeingme, he stood up suddenly! I could see his teeth! God! My mouth feltdry. “Don’t be afraid. That’s Mom. She loves you, too,” Becky said.Then he became friendly. It was unbelievable!I rushed to find my husband and told him about the wolf. We should have killed the wolf, but Becky loved him. Besides, he was gentle to Becky. So we called the vet finally.Becky named the wolf Ralph and she carried food to him every day. Later, Ralph got well. They played together in the daytime. At night, Ralph would return to the mountains. Sometimes he disappeared but came back several days later.On Becky’s first day of school, we could see Ralph’s sadness. After the school bus left, Ralph lay by the side of the road and waited. When Becky returned, he got happy again. This continued throughout Becky’s school years.Twelve years passed. One day we heard that a wolf was killed. The other wolf was hurt and ran away. We were worried about Ralph. That night, Ralph returned with a wound(伤口). Becky held his head kindly and comforted him. We hope he could come through. However, he died.Becky cried. I noticed something strange in the bush---two little yellow eyes! Ralph’s child! Before he died,Ralph brought his child to us! He knew he would be safe here, as he had been. Ralph, Ralph… I was moved.“Don’t be afraid, Little…Ralphie. That’s Mom. She loves you, too.”1.

Ralph brought his child to Becky because __________.A. his child had to be cared for at onceB. he thought his child would be safe thereC. someone wanted to kill his childD. he had to leave to look for foodB8(燕山)Our cities are getting bigger and bigger as more people move from the country to the city. There are lots of reasons why they do this —mostly it is to find work, because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there. When there are lots of people living and working in a city, they need things like restaurants, shops, hospitals and schools, too. These are all more jobs that people need to do. There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around. Everything you could want will be found in a city: government offices, museums and art galleries, cinemas, big restaurants and parks.Unfortunately the city is much busier, more expensive, and more dangerous than the country. The air is not so healthy because of all the cars and trucks on the roads. There are so many people that it is not as friendly — you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country, and people may get lonely. You do not have much room in the city — most people live in apartments — not houses, and they do not have gardens or lots of space, and because of all the people there is also a lot of noise.The country is much more friendly as everyone knows each other.It is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people thanyou find in cities. And perhaps the best thing is that you can have abig house with a garden and it will be very quiet. But there are notmany jobs or services there. There are also not many shops, schools orhospitals. And it is hard to get around.Every person is different, but more and more people choose to live in cities because there is so much to do there. What do you think about the city?1. Why do more and more people move to the cities?A.Because they want to find a job.B.Because they like to live in apartments.C.Because they want to make more friends.D.Because they like eating in big restaurants.2. Which sentence is true according to the passage?A.You can live a quiet life in the cityB.You can find a big house with a garden in the country.C.People can visit museums and art galleries in the country.D.Big companies in the country need lots of people to work there.3. The writer says the country is more friendly because __________.A. people can live quietlyB. people work togetherC. everyone has some friendsD. everyone knows each other参考答案B1:1. D 2. C 3.

D1(昌平区)Spending time online is normal behavior for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens – or too little, for that matter – might be related to depression (抑郁), a new study finds.The findings, reported in the Journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms (症状). Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non – use, could show that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr. Pierre –Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7, 200 individuals ages 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of health – related questions, including some standard questions about “depressive tendencies” (抑郁倾向) that show how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non – users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among boys, heavy users and non – users were both around one – third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non – users had a 46 percent compared to regular users.Since teenagers typically go online to connect with friends. The researches find that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.56. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Teenagers never go online are good students.B. Teenagers never go online may get depression.C. Surfing the Internet for teenagers is bad behavior.D. Internet is the reason of teenager’s depression.57. How long does the writer suggest teens to go online per week?A. Less than 14 hours.B. More than 14 hours.C. More than 20 hours.D. Less than 20 hours.58. The purpose of Dr. Michaud and colleagues’ study is to know ______________.A. the actual time of teenagers learning onlineB. the actual number of teenagers playing onlineC. the influence on school study about teenagers onlineD. the relationship between Internet use and depression59. What’s the meaning of the word isolated in the last paragraph?A. Independent.B. United.C. SeparateD. Humorous.D2(朝阳区)Not long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer in Canada. We became friends. One day, she invited me and 11 other women to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d talk, eat and watch feel-good movies. I e-mailed her back immediately: I was in.Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of you r friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how:“Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel m ore positive. Use thatas your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy?To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.”“If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives. While your friend may need to be left alone, you may want caring phone calls. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.56. What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A. How many friends you have.B. How people you connect with feel.C. What situation you are in now.D. What kind of friends you have.57. What does the first suggestion want us to do?A. To measure our happiness.B. To check people around.C. To join a group for hobbies.D. To leave negative friends.58. Which of the following is true?A. All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.B. It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C. Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D. We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.59. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A. when your friend leaves you, you need comfortB. when your friend is sad, you should call her upC. people may behave differently during hard timesD. friends’ needs may be quite different sometimesD3(房山区)Imagine, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it has come true, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system(系统). And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and finally Eastern Europe.China is negotiating(协商) to spread its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, at the end reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore through Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing withintwo days. The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standards.China’s high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.Of course, there are some technical challenges we have to face. There are so many things to be improved, for example, safety. So, it’s important to pay attention to every tiny thing.But the key point is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on the railway system in the country.China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources(资源) rather than with capital investment(投资). Resources from those countries could stream into China to its long-term development.It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will surely create more chances for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We foresee that in the near future, millions of people will move to the western areas, where the land is empty and resources rich. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.56. Which of the following is true?A. China’s far western areas need to be further developed.B. China plans to connect Southeast Asia with Eastern Europe.C. There is enough money for China to carry out high-speed railway plan.D. Safety problem of the high-speed railway has been completely solved.57. What does the underlined sentence “It will be a win-win p roject” in the passage mean?A. China will win for ever in the project.B. The project will win China a lot of money.C. Chinese will arrive wherever they want to go with the project.D. The project will do good to both China and the countries mentioned.58. What’s the writer’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?A. He agrees.B. He doesn’t care about it.C. He disagrees.D. He doubts whether it will come true.59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. New Railway StandardsB. Big Railway DreamsC. International Railway NetworkD. High-speed TrainsD4(丰台区)The webs that spiders build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms.Now a team, headed by Markus Buehler, a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a web’s success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, says Buehler. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to become softer or firmer. So it can hold different types of heavy things and bear a localized damage (损坏). This localized damage can simply be repaired, rather than replaced, or even left alone if the web continues to work as before.Buehler’s research is mostly theoretical (理论上的), based on computer modeling of material properties (特性) and how they respond to stresses. But in order to test the findings, he and his team literally went into the field. They tested actual spider webs by poking and pulling at them. In all cases, damage was limited to the immediatearea they disturbed.In tests, scientists also used three other strong materials made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didn’t become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10 percent stronger.The spider web’s clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings might be used not just for physical objects such as safer buildings, but also in the design of networked systems. For example, a computer experiencing a virus attack could be designed to shut down at once, before its problems get worse. “It’s a really good chance,” said Buehler. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.”56. Where does the strength of the web threads come from?A. Their high stickiness.B. Their high firmness .C. Their clever design.D. Their ability to change in quality.57. Which word is close st in meaning to the word “disturb” in the 3rd paragraph?A. Upsetting.B. Changing.C. Moving.D. Hitting.58. How many different experiments did Buehler’s team do to test their findings?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.59. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Spider Webs Are Stronger than SteelB. Spider Webs Hold Valuable SecretsC. How Spider Webs Get Their StrengthD. What Strong Spider Webs Mean to UsD5(怀柔区)Recognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert runs across North Africa. Except for an occasional oasis(绿洲), this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to nearly 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities(社团,社区)where a large number of people lived.Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. For centuries people there have wandered(徘徊) from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing(吃草)land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. The large herds(群)have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing over grazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nighttime temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants that will once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert sur face. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in which they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks.Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert is dotted(点缀) with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones which could provide protection from the sun. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The desert is rich in beautiful color and scenery.B. Allowing over grazing is the only reason to make the land became a desert.C. The Sahara will one day become a beautiful garden.D. Large river systems once supported many communities.57. From the passage, we can infer that scientists are ______.A. pleased by the progress but do not have the money to continueB. discouraged by the poor results of their experimentsC. hopeful about the chances of life coming back to the desertD. troubled by the lack of water found underground58. From paragraph 4 and 5, we can know that______.A. Animals have learnt to survive in the desert by lying next to rocks away from sunshine.B. Through experiments, a desert may become a food-producing land.C. Water supply will dry up before it can be used to grow crops.D. Saltwater seeds will grow in the desert sand.59. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Drilling machines help to water the desert floor and make plants and animals alive.B. Scientists have been able to turn this large wasteland into a successful farming community.C. So much soil has become sand that the desert will never be able to support life as it once did.D. The desert no longer supports plenty of life, but researchers hope to change it with new scientifictechniques.D6(平谷区)Someone says that it is unfair to judge the book by its cover, or the man’s intelligence and abilities by his looks. It is true that Albert Einstein was not a picture of elegance (优雅) in his shapeless sweaters and baggy pants; and his refusal to wear ties and socks never hid his genius. But genius has its own special advantages, and Einstein never had to worry about people’s opinions about him. Among ordinary people, looks do mean something. While a man’s clothes don’t say anything about his intelligence, they say plenty about his personality, about his judgment (判断力)and about the opinion that he has of himself.“If that man had any sense,” reasons a possible employer(雇主), “Wouldn’t he try to look attractive enough to make me want to hire him? Is he too lazy to make the effort? What kind of a worker can he be? Does he feel so bad about himself, and could his judgment be correct? Perhaps he doesn’t really want to work, or like to be taken seriously. Is he a trouble maker? Or is it just that he is, after all, stupid?”The same kind of question will come to the mind of anyone who sees a person wearing, by chance, the wrong kind of clothes for any special events. The man who appears at a party or a reception in a not-too-clean shirt, without tie, or at a business meeting with two-days growth of beard (胡须)will never be mistaken for an absent-minded genius. People will think it is true that he is rude, arrogant (傲慢的), or anxious to be “different”. Right or not, everyone reaches a decision about his personality and situation. If the decision is wrong, the man has nobody to blame but himself; he has delivered the wrong message.57. What does the underlined phrase “had any sense ” mean?A. understood wellB. had a clear meaningC. realizedD. felt58. Which of the following is NOT true?A.People are very likely to judge a person by looks.B. People’s judgment about a person is greatly influenced by his looks.C. People may make wrong decisions if they judge a person by his looks.D. A person’s looks can hide his intelligence, personality or something else in some ways.59. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. How to Look AttractiveB. Clothes Make A ManC. Never Judge A Book by Its CoverD. How Clothes Make A ManD7(石景山区)Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the dividing lines are still there, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal(法律的)limits, or whether it should become more changeable, is often debated(争论). How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to go to school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school because of social custom and parents’ requirement rather than to the law. As adults we know “extra pay for overtime working” very well, but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes (构成)“overtime” is a matter of legal thing. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law – as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.56. Wha t does the underlined word “irrelevant” probably mean?A. Impossible.B. Unacceptable.C. Unimportant.D. Disagreeable.57. The writer raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _____.A. are unknowing of the law of timeB. fail to make full use of their timeC. welcome changeable working hoursD. enjoy working overtime for more pay58. We can learn from the passage that most children go to school because they_____.A. have to follow the lawB. need to find social customsC. need to learn more knowledgeD. have to follow their parents’ requirement59. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to use time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time table is decided by social customs.D8(通州区)Carbon monoxide poisoning (一氧化碳中毒) causes death and injuries around the world. This gas is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather. A few years ago, America’s Centers for Disease Control (C. D. C.) studied deaths linked (联系) with carbon monoxide poisoning. It found that the number ofcarbon monoxide deaths in the United States was greatest in January. The C.D.C. also found that carbon monoxide kills more than four hundred Americans each year. And, it said more than twenty thousand people are taken to hospital for treatment of health problems linked with the gas.Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas has no color, no taste and no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause people to cough. Yet, carbon monoxide gas is very deadly (致命的). It steals the body’s ability to use oxygen.Carbon monoxide makes it difficult for the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues (血管). It does this by linking with the blood. When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the tissues that need it. Damage (损害) to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts (数量) of carbon monoxide.How quickly this can happen depend on how long a person is breathing the gas and how much gas he or she breathes in.Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs(标志). But people have to be awake to realize them. Small amounts of the gas will cause a person’s head to hurt. He or she may begin to feel tired. Thei r stomachs may feel sick. The room may appear to be turning around. The person may have trouble thinking clearly.People develop serious headache as the amount of the gas continues to enter their blood. They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy. They may have terrible stomachache.Doctors say carbon monoxide influences people differently. For example a small child will experience health problems or die much sooner than an adult. The general health of the person or his or her age can also be important.56. The damage of carbon monoxide to the body has something to do with _____.A. the amount a person breathes inB. whether a person is healthyC. how many signs a person findsD. ages of people57. One of the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning is _____.A. burning eyesB. bad coughC. serious headacheD. high fever58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Carbon monoxide poisoning seldom happens in cold areas.B. Twenty thousand Americans are killed by carbon monoxide each year.C. Most people know whether there is carbon monoxide in the air.D. Carbon monoxide stops the blood from carrying oxygen to body tissues.59. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Warning signs that carbon monoxide poisoning has.B. Reasons why carbon monoxide can cause person’s death.C. The damage of carbon monoxide and how it works.D. Influences of carbon monoxide on children and adults.D9(西城区)Time is not a fixed object. The idea of time in any given culture is largely a product created by beliefs, traditions, and values. In some cases, time is thought of as formless and is based on what is going on at the moment, rather than as a planned object. Others regard time as a machine: a real thing which is fixed, which can be divided into schedules (日程安排)and can be wasted.Similarly, cultures are also likely to think of the passing of time in different ways as well. A society can be moved towards a specific (特定化的) understanding of history. Many cultures, such as British, Native American, Greek, French, Japanese, and some other Asian cultures, take the past, cultural history, and traditions as having themost importance, and use them as a guide in making present-day decisions. Some cultures see the present moment as the most important. Tradition holds little importance, and planning for the future is not the most important thing, but rather the present time is more valued, and these kinds of lifestyles are relaxed. Other societies can be future-oriented (关注未来的), and place an additional focus on planning and forward movement, and the present activities are treated as a bridge to this future goal. This is the common agreement in the United States.How a person thinks of time can be understood in the way they work together with others. Someone with a focus on the future will hold schedules and times to be very important, as they are necessary for moving on to the next step. However, someone who lives more in the present may consider a certain meeting time as not fixed. In Italy and in many Arab countries, it is normal for people to be 30 minutes late for a meeting. It is different in the United States or Britain, for example, where lateness is accepted only up to 5 or 10 minutes.The concept (概念) of time, and its flexibility (灵活多变), meaning, and even the nature of its existence (存在) is something which is deeply laid in the base of any culture. It is very important when entering into an agreement with someone, whether socially, or in a business setting, to realize that they may have a different idea about the importance of deadlines and schedules. No one can be right or wrong in their own way, but still people can be accidentally insulted (冒犯) as a result of a misunderstanding.56. From the first paragraph, we can know that ______.A. people think of time as a sign of cultureB. people have different opinions about timeC. time is about what’s going on at the momentD. time is either a planned object or a machine57. The past might be thought of as the most important because ______.A. it helps us to make present decisionsB. it helps us to plan for the futureC. traditions bring us much prideD. old countries have a long history58. Which example best describes a present-oriented culture?A. Making a plan for tomorrow’s work.B. Planning a tour to the Forbidden City.C. Eating dumplings during Spring Festival.D. Never paying attention to the weather report.59. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Tradition of TimeB. The Importance of TimeC. The Concept of TimeD. The Management of TimeD10(燕山区)Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets, too.”“If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”。
阅读回答问题【昌平】Have you ever been in a rainforest? There aren’t any in Europe but there are some in Africa, Asia and South America. I was in a rainforest once. It was hot and dark. It was also very wet. Water was falling from the leaves of the trees like rain. The ground was covered with dead leaves but there were thousands of new plants growing.The most exciting plants were the large trees. Some were 50 meters high. I could only see little pieces of blue sky through the leaves. All the trees had small plants growing on them, and some of these had beautiful, brightly colored flowers.It was very noisy. I could hear lots of birds. They were hard to see but I saw one green and red parrot flying high above me. It was beautiful. The insects(昆虫) also made a lot of noise and I could feel them on my arms and legs.I didn’t see any monkeys. They were probably sleeping high up in the treetops. I did see a small snake on the ground. I hate snakes so I walked quickly but carefully out of the forest.I wouldn’t like to live in a rainforest but I am happy that I could see one before they all disappear from Earth.64.

In fact it is the commonest skin disease among people. Many teenagers get acne. Usually it lasts only a couple of years and then it disappears. However, some people still have acne after the age of 20. And 5% of men over 50 still have acne. Acne “runs in the family”. So if your parents had had acne, you may get the disease too. And you need to look after your skin.What causes acne ? Where does acne come from? The human body produces oil; this keeps the skin and hair healthy. But at times the body produces too much oil. Then the oil closes the holes round the hairs on the face. If the holes are closed, spots appear. This is called acne.The following information will help you to know some truths about acne.●Some of your friends will say:” If you have acne, you mustn’t eat foods like chocolate and fried potatoes.”Wrong! Acne is not caused by diet, so you can eat all your favourite foods.●“If I’ve got bad acne, I should wash my face more often.” Wrong! Washing the face is not an answer. Theproblem lies under the skin, not above the skin.●“Luckily you can only get acne on your face.” Wrong! People can get acne on the face, neck, chest and back.So what can you do if you have acne? If you have bad acne,●don’t wear a tie; a tight collar(领子) around the neck usually makes the acne worse.●if it’s a sunny day, get out into the sun. Sunshine helps acne get better.●see a doctor. There’re many safe skin creams for acne.●if you have very bad acne, your doctor may give you pills to take. This makes your body produce less oil.And try not to worry. Most acne will be over in two years. If it helps, think of the Mexican hairless dog. It is the only animal that gets acne. And there are no doctors for Mexican hairless dogs!64.

The Internet is a large, worldwide collection of computer networks. A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. Once you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interests in the World Wide Web. At the same time you will find it is helpful and your life is far more interesting than before.To know the Internet, we are supposed to know the World Wide Web.The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favorite sports or film stars, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the Internet. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.E-mail is a tool people often use through the Internet.An e-mail is a way to send messages to others. It's much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to send e-mails, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots(点) and an “@”( meaning “at”). This is what an address looks like: Emily @ star. net. Write a message, type in the person's e-mail address, and then send the message on the Internet. People don't have to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office since the invention of the Internet.Quick , easy and interesting--that's the Internet!64.

So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why do you like reading books? We have Internet. It offers a lot of more colorful fun. Books are history!” But I am sure you can le arn a lot from books than Internet.One clear reason is that a well-chosen book can give you a lot of wonderful words, as long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new words from a book or an article than it is fro m the TV or the Internet.But another more important point is that books give you something that the Internet can not. The general webpage (网页) is picture-heavy and the text is as easy to read as possible. While “easy” may attract (吸引) you, unluckily it’s not helpful for any long-term development of reading skills and the general language level. Because of that, reading on the Internet can’t take the place of reading books.But perhaps the best reason is that just choosing what you read and doing it indepen dently means that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, but you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.64. Does the writer advise people to read books in their holidays?_____________________________________________________________65. What can people get from a well-chosen book?66.

Her job is to take children out of dangerous home situations and place them in foster homes (寄养家庭). During her first such task, Leslie saw that the children she had come to pick up were carrying all of their things in plastic bags. They didn’t have suitcases (手提箱) for their clothes. Wanting to help these children, Leslie asked her mother if she could have the family’s old suitcases to give to them.Leslie’s 10-year-old sister Abby asked how many foster children there were in the area and found out that there were 300. Most of those children had to carry their things from place to place in plastic bags. Leslie’s care and the thought of those 300 children made young Abby take action. Abby decided to ask people to give away their old suitcases to these foster children. She began making and hanging posters, speaking at churches, and asking other children for help. But after a few weeks, she had not received any ones. Abby decided to buy some suitcases with her mother’s help. That’s how Abby Burnside set up her program, Suitcases for Kids. By March of 1996, Suitcases for Kids had collected and sent 175 suitcases to the foster children.Finally, Abby’s efforts were noticed by the media. Her story was in newspapers and magazines and Abby appeared on popular television shows. As the story became known, Abby’s local chapter (分支机构) received more and more suitcases, until it collected 4,000 suitcases in 1996. Soon, Abby was traveling to different states to help set up new Suitcases for Kids chapters. By the end of 1996, there were Suitcases for Kids chapters in 19 different states. After two full years, Suitcases for Kids had set up chapters in all 50 states. By its sixth year, the little organization reached international attention, having chapters in more than ten countries. Now thousands of children around the world can carry their things in suitcases instead of plastic bags just because a 10-year-old girl decided one day that she just wanted to help.64.

Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Aston Villa Football Club are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.Eating the right thingA good diet is a basic part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill’s sport and health experts, have chosen a secret weapon--- organic food (food grown withoutchemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players a nd said: “I chose to organic food for Aston Villa because I’ve read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins. He believes that the best way to get vitamins is to eat the best fresh food.Eating after the matchHead chef at Aston Villa, Lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match. He says, “Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game. There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength.Teaching healthy eatingEveryone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground. But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food. As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to their club. Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day. “The kitchen is helping to develop a healthy way of life.” he said.A final word from the kitchenHead chef Ian says: “Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest choice.” Do you watch your diet?

In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup (民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.64. How many people were questioned to do the survey?_____________________________________________________________65.

Now sending text messages is part of our lives. But how does texting affect our everyday lives?According to a study, young people prefer text-messaging to talk with friends no matter where they are. They even want to do it under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some teenagers just can’t stop texting. This could be bad for their studies and health. For example, Ann, a 16-year-old girl from New York, lost feeling in her hands after sending over 100 texts a day from her mobile phone. She will have to have surgery (外科手术) on her wrists (手腕) in order to fix the problem.But texting isn’t all bad. It helps to make our lives better in some ways. Today many teenagers greet each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. “Texting instead of sending letters helps me save my pocket money,” said Chen Qi, 16, a boy from Sichuan. “It is also eco-friendly because it saves paper.”Texting can improve relationships between young people and their parents. In the US, many parents send their kids texts instead of shouting at them. Some say texts are more friendly than spoken messages. It’s also easier for teenagers to accept them.Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular. But when you send text messages, keep the following advice in mind:◆Don’t send text messages while riding a bike or walking along a busy street. It is dangerous.◆Don’t send the same text message over and over again. If you haven’t received a reply, send a different message.◆ If you have something really important to say, use the phone or make plans to meet in person rather than using a text.◆ Try to keep the text message short and make sure that your meaning is clear.◆ Be polite. Reply to people when they send you a message. It is good to let people know that you have received their messages.64.Is sending text messages part of our lives?_____________________________________________________________65.What do young people like better, text-messaging or talking with each other?_____________________________________________________________66.Why did Ann lose feeling in her hands?_____________________________________________________________67.What advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?_____________________________________________________________68.What is the passage mainly about?_____________________________________________________________参考答案【昌平】64.

It was 8:30 and I was lying in the sun, listening to my CD.Then my mum came out. She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It’s a special place for 35 to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening (致命的) illness. There were several jobs 36 did there, including gift giving and ice-cream 37 . Mum said I would enjoy it, but I expected this was a 38 job.I got in the car and Mum drove to this place. There was a house in the village that we went into to do our work.

I would rather be doing this, maybe making a difference in these kids’ lives.35. A. parents B. families C. friends D. women36. A. I B. they C. she D. we37.
