AThe world has almost seven billion people, at least two billion of whom are expected to be on the Internet. New growth is mostly from developing countries, though only 20% of their population is online, a new report says. A group called the World Wide Web Foundation is working to make the Web more usable to more of the world. Tim Berners-Lee, the British computer scientist who invented the World Wide Web, announced the launch of the Web Foundation last November. The group says many people can access the Web but are unable to use it. The biggest reason is illiteracy. The latest United Nations report says about 800 million adults are unable to read or write. Even for those who can read, much of the information that is available on the Web is not in a language they can understand.Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web as a way to help people share information. He says the World Wide Web Foundation wants everyone to be able to use this information. It’s focusing on (concentrating ) the Web not just as a technology, but as one of the most powerful means for connecting people to knowledge and people to each other. World Wide Web Foundation’s cooperation with the Web Science Trust and the World Wide Web Consortium aims to creat applications that make the Web more user-friendly. Steve Bratt says mobile technology is an important part of that work, as more and more people use their phones to go online. One of the challenges (挑战) the Foundation has now is to make the Web a lot easier to use even on the simplest and least expensive mobile phones.56. What does the speaker say about Net users?A. The number of Net users is growing fast in developing countries.B. Most people in developed world are Net users.C. Net users are more active in developing countries.D.

They can’t read and write.D. They don’t know how to search information.58. What’s Tim Berners-Lee’s main purpose of creating the World Wide Web?A. To develop the information technology.B. To provide ways of communication and study.C. To help Net users with their own problems.D. To make the Web more user-friendly.59. What challenge does World Wide Web Foundation face now?A.

He is soon going to have an evaluation(评价) interview with his manager and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion(提升) and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his division in the past year. First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance (保养) themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company.Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees that Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire (解雇) them. Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the jobs. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants the new jobs, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year.

Their idea was to connect the communities to the Web by satellite. But there was a problem—the areas are not even connected to Kenya’s electric power supply. However, the young engineers offered the answer: solar panels. Energy from the sun powers the satellite by dishes (接收器) and computers that link the areas with the world outside. Kelly Moran, Joan Ervin and Tricia Donajkowski spent ten days in Kenya in November. The three women recently earned master’s degrees in space system engineering from the University of Michigan. People now have access to educational, medical and all kinds of other information. Farmers, for example, can easily find weather, crop and price information online.The project began back at the college of engineering in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2007. That was when 25 students in a class taught by Thomas Zurbuchen first talked about the idea. The goal was to test whether Internet stations could be set up, how much they would cost, and how long they could operate. But the engineers also had to consider other things such as social needs. Students from the public health and business schools offered advice. The young engineers also had to design the equipment to survive the heat in Africa. Prof, Zurbuchen praised his former students for “making something work in a different climate far away from home.” Just 5% of Africans have Internet connections. The International Telecommunication Union says 1/3 of Kenyans have moble phones. But mobile phones may or may not work well with the Internet.66. What was the solution(解决方法) to the connection to Kenya’s Internet?A. Providing electric power to the satellite dishes and computers.B. Providing solar power to the satellite dishes and computers.C. Providing advanced satellite dishes to connect the Internet.D. Providing computer technology to connect the Internet.67. What is the advantage of connecting the communites to the Web?A. Students can surf the Internet at home.B. Schools can develop more classes online.C. People can get all kinds of information online.D. People can work an extra shift at home.68. Who offered advice to the engineers?A. People in the rural areas.B. Students from the public health and business schools.C. People from the United States.D. Students from the Kenya’s universities.69. Why did Prof. Zurbuchen speak highly of the young engineers?A. Because they had overcome troubles and made progress in Africa.B. Because they had invented new equipment to complete the project in Africa.C. Because they had completed connecting the communities to the Web in Africa.D. Because they had succeeded in helping the African people solve the network problems.70. What was the problem in connecting the communities to the Web by satellite?A. People in the areas didn’t like the Web.B. The local government couldn’t pay for the cost.C. The government of the United States didn’t support the plan.D. The areas weren’t connected to Kenya’s electric power supply.DI worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a large company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I’d always wanted to do---become a freelance(自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible( 灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before---between 45 and 50 hours a week---but my schedule is much less rigid (刻板的) than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 a.m., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.I alse decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I’ve also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.Of course, not all the changes have been that east. For example, I don’t feel as safe financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don’t have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure that there’s enough money until the next check arrives.All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll never want to have a “regular” job. But for me, at least, it suits me.71. The author decided to become a freelance writer because ________.A. he had always liked writingB. he hadn’t liked to work in the companyC. the boss didn’t like himD. the boss had another person to do the job72. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author?A. That he doesn’t need to work hard.B. That he can earn much more money.C. That he can change his schedule as he likes.D. That he can watch TV as long as he likes.73. What is his chief problem now?A. He has no job to do.B. He must work harder than before.C. His health has changed worse than before.D. He has to worry about money.74. At the end of the passage, the author indicates that ________.A. he wants to have a regular jobB. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near futureC. he wants to change his lifestyle in the near futureD. he must change his job to earn more money.75. Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. The author likes to work in the company very much.B. The author’s lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.C. The author doesn’t like to do exercise.D. The author does want to change his job to earn more money.。

ASaturday, March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand （泰国）. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27thBangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday, March 30thOur trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness.I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. T he diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 7B. 3C. 15D.837. It seems that visitors _________ in Bangkok.A. often feel hungryB. can’t take any photosC. can have a good timeD. feel a little bored38. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Chiang Mai is a beautiful city in the south of Thailand.B. The writer is traveling alone in Thailand.C. The writer will take a bus to Chiang Mai.D.

What is the best title（标题）for the whole diary?A. My First TravelB. The Outside WorldC. Traveling in ThailandD. My Trip to Chiang MaiBDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．For example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That’s called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．Some politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks an other term．One of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smith’s te rm，the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．’’Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths．It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．41. How much did the lottery winner lose?A．one hundred dollars．B．Two hundred dollars．C．Three hundred dollars．D．Four hundred dollars．42. We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A．buy lottery tickets if possible B．make use of half—truths C．be careful about what they are told D．not trust the Yucky Company 43. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increaseB. big advantageC. large shareD. total saving44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Using half truths is against the law．B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．45. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．He’s really a big loser!B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．D．It’s against the law to make false statements．CAt first, the earth’s surface（表面）layer (层) was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finallystones, pebbles (卵石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water. heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the carcks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.46. According to the passage, soil____________ .A. forms very slowlyB. is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sandC. makes up the layers of the earthD. is becoming smaller and smaller47. How many factors are mentioned in helping break up rocks?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. More than five.48. Which of the follwing speeds up（加速）the breaks of rocks most?A. Hot weather.B. Cold water.C. Sharp changes in temperature.D. More dead plants in the cracks.49. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The remains of many plants and animals formed soil.B. If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.C. Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.D. Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.50. The best title for this passage should be____________ ?A. Soil From RocksB. Ways to Break up RocksC. Soil on the EarthD. Soil, Outmost Layer of the EarthDScientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the world’s biggest pyramids—the Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City. They’r e putting lots of small, high-tech machines under the pyramid to try to unlock some of its secrets. For thousands of years, people have tried to uncover the secrets of the pyramids.The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop tomb raiders from finding the treasures inside. However, there always have been some smart thieves in history. Now, almost all of Egypt’s pyramids have been robbed, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the largest pyramid in the world. It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing.In 820 AD, an Arab king named Abdullah AI Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look. Inside the pyramid, they found three rooms—the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King’s Chamber. But to their surprise, the men didn’t find treasures they wanted. The Queen’s and King’s Chambers were both empty! Where were the King’s mummy and his treasures? Had someone already taken them away? The h uge stone doors at the pyramid’s entrance were still closed when AI Manum’s men went inside. How had the thieves got in and out?Since then, many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things. But still, no other chambers or walkways have been found.In 2002, an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid. Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid, but they only found a mysterious locked stonedoor.51. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. scientists have already studied the Pyramid of the Sun for thousands of yearsB. all the pyramids have been broken into except the Pyramid of the SunC. the Pyramid of the Sun was built by the ancient ArabiansD. the Pyramid of the Sun is not in Egypt52. The first two paragraphs were written to show that ________.A. the Pyramid of the Sun is an unusual historical buildingB. ancient Egyptian kings and queens were cruelC. construction workers led a hard life in ancient EgyptD. the secrets of some pyramids remain to be uncovered53. What is the purpose of making some secret doors to the pyramids?A. To try to unlock some of their secrets.B. To stop robbers from finding the treasures inside.C. To make the dead kings come into power again.D. To make the pyramids mysterious.54. Which of the following is NOT true about the Great Pyramid of Khufu?A. It is the largest pyramid in the world.B. It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that exists.C. People think AI Manum took the king’s mummy and treasures away.D. Scientists found a mysterious locked stone door to the Great Pyramid.55. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Pyramid of the SunB. The secrets of the Great PyramidC.

AI was very naive(幼稚的) when I started high school.On thefirst day I didn’t realize there was a right way to wear a schoolhat.In fact，on that first day I did a lot of wrong things like beingthe only person in the school who had long hair.That made me a troublemaker，and by the first break I was given life membership of the “out” crowd.So I cut my hair off during the break.It seemed more important to be like other people than to find out what it meant to be me.I spent all my energy trying to obey the school rules and got it all right.I couldn’t work out why I was so unhappy when I’d achieved what I thought I wanted.Feeling I did what I didn’t want to do，I cried on the afternoon of the first day of my high school.My head teacher noticed that and asked why I was crying.I told him that I couldn’t work it.Although I fitted in at school，I became miserable(痛苦的)．He nodded in understanding and asked me why I liked wearing long hair.I told him that I did it because I liked the feeling of having it and the way it looked.Then he asked why I cut my hair off，and I told him that I wanted the same kind of hair the other girls had.“You see，”he said，“you’ve started doing things to pleaseother people.If you don’t do things for yourself，you are alwaysgoing to feel a bit unhappy.I mean that if the people at school don’tlike you for you，then it’s their problem”．And what he said was true.I started trying to do things formyself.And I started doing things for myself again.I felt much better.56．Why did the writer have her long hair cut?A．Because she didn’t like wearing long hair.B．Because she wanted to be like other students.C．Because she was scolded(斥责) by her head teacher.D．Because she had to wear a school hat.57．What made the writer cry on her first day at high school?A．That she made a lot of trouble.B．That she couldn’t get along well with her classmates.C．That she didn’t like the school.D．That she did what she didn’t want to do.58．From the passage we can infer that the head teacher was a (n)________．A．hard-working man B．absent-minded manC．understanding man D．humorous man59．We can conclude from the head teacher’s words that________.A．one must do things that are against his willingB．one must do as others do at schoolC．in order to make others like you，you should do what others doD．if one wants to be happy，he shouldn’t do what he doesn’t want to doBGood manners in one country aren’t always the same as good manners in another! While talking with your mouth full is frowned on (不许可) all over the world，some things North Americans think rude are fine in other countries.So when you’re traveling，it’s best to learn about other people’s rules and follow them.Here are a few tips that could be helpful to you in the future.If you’re eating noodles in Japan，it’s OK to slurp (发出啧啧的声音) them (some people even say it makes them taste better)．In Turkey，never point the bottom of your foot toward a person while eating or at any other time.Turks think that’s insulting.In China，it’s OK to burp out loud after a meal.It means the food was good and you had enough to eat.(It’s not OK to do this in North AmericA．)But if you’re eating a bowl of rice in China，never leave your chopsticks standing straight up in the rice.In Malaysia，never touch the top of someone’s head while eating or at any other time.People believe it’s the home of a person’s soul，so you have to treat it with respect.In Pakistan，always eat with your right hand，even if you’re left-handed.The left hand is considered unclean in Pakistan.In India，don’t clean your plate.If you do，your host will think the meal he gave you didn’t fill you up.Leave a little food on your plate to show that you have been well fed.In Vietnam，use both hands when you give some food to another person. 60．We infer that this passage is written to______.A．tell us what to

close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.Make friendship a priority.Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while.When you can’t get together，use the phone to keep in touch.Open up to close friends.Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt”intimacy(亲密)．Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments.Listen to your friends when they have problems，but offer advice only when it’s wanted.Help raise friends’ self-esteem when they are shaken by a job loss，or

of trees.They asked them to name each.Many British people cannot give the right answers.One in twenty people questioned could not name any of the Britain’s common trees.Horse chestnut and oak are very common in Britain.Britons can see them everywhere from parks and gardens to the countryside and forests.But five per cent of Britons could not name the two trees.While older people are more likely than younger adults to name Britain’s local trees，the knowledge is not being passed down.Over 70% parents say they have never taught their children the names of trees nor asked them about what they

AEmanuel’s father liked to declare he’d spent ages by the sea, breathing seawater. Now, away from the sea, in the hospital, his body just looked like a beached fish. His condition went from bad to worse. The doctor came from saying, “He’ll be home in a day,”“He’ll be home in a week,” to “He will be home in a month.”When Emanuel was a teenager, if he ever seemed bored with the pier(码头), his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he suggested Emanuel take a job at the pier after high school, the boy almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Emanuel went to war, when he talked of marrying Maggie and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”And now, here he was, Emanuel helped out at the pier, working evenings after his taxi job, doing his father’s labor.Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later that children understand: their stories and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers.One night his father, lying in hospital, was practically too weak to speak. Others comforted him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”When the news came that his father had died, Emanuel felt heart-broken.In the following weeks, Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there.She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two .One night, when Emanuel offered to help with the dishes, she said. “Your father will put them away.” Emanuel put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said softly, “Dad’s gone.”“Gone where?” murmured Mum.56．Which of the following shows the right order of the story?a．Emanuel’s father fell ill.b．Emanuel helped out at pier.c．Emanuel went to the war.d．Emanuel wished to be an engineer.e. Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused stateA．bacde B．dcabe C．bceda D．decba57．In Paragraph 4, the writer inplies that .A. Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to themB. Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ supportC. Children often feel regretful because they leave their parentsD. Children like moving away from their parents58.

Emanuel’s mother was at a loss at her husband’s death.B. Emanuel often helped his mother to wash the dishes.C. Emanuel lived with his mother and often comforted her.D. Emanuel’s mother doesn’t like to listen to the radio.BI do desire to help my Chinese students to find a better way of learning. I once divided my Chinese MBA students into six groups and set them an assignment: brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”, for example: a restaurant chain. Originality would be valued most. As a result, five groups proposed projects for restaurant chains. The sixth showed a catering service. I couldn’t help expressing my disappointment, though the time limit had been rather challenging.Those middle managers and financial analysts from state-owned enterprises and global companies were not untalented or without opinions, but they had been accustomed to an educational system that rarely rewarded critical thinking or Originality. Papers were often copied from the Internet and the Harvard Business Review. Students insisted that copying was a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In China, you can see almost all kinds of products you can imagine have been made and sold, but so few well developed marketing and management minds have been produced that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand!Partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established so as to solve the problem mentioned above. And there’s also the “thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is designed to improve technological modernization by inviting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with large sums of money. But there are concern s about China’s research environment, which is known for lacking in encouraging independent thinking and inventiveness, and even high salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.If China wants to become a major world creator, it is no good just seeking partnerships with top Western universities or gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s time to establish a rich learning environment for young minds. Yes, new way of learning is the key!60. The author feels disappointed when the students hand in their plans because_____A. there’s one group presenting a catering service.B. all groups followed his idea of restaurant chains.C. the students’ ideas were lacking in creati veness.D. the time limit had been rather challenging.61. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. China can make and sell all kinds of product all over the worldB. High pay can solve the problem of China’s research environmentC. Foreign trained scientists are expected to invent a Chinese brandD. The new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination62. Which can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Look for a New Way of LearningB. Develop MBA Students’ Creative ThinkingC. Help China to Become a CreatorD. Improve China’s Research EnvironmentA. DivingB. SailingC. SurfingD. Gymnastics64. Taking a 10-hour course in diving needs at least .A. £200B. £100C. £90D. £3065. In order to build up your children’s confidence, you can call .A. 015 096 18700B. 084 534 50400C. 016 378 50737D. 084 512 9712966. According to the passage, we know that .A. it is very difficult to learn basic sailing skills.B. it is impossible to practice gymnastics at homeC. self-discipline is needed to do high board divingD. surfing needs qualities of patience and balanceDThere have been discussions about retire age limit recently. Does it make sense to makepeople retire at a particular age, say, 55? 60?Some people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations while other people, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier. Here I will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several reasons for allowing older people to continue working. Firstly, older employees are more experienced and their knowledge can be lost to his company or business if they are made to retire. Secondly, older employees are often extremely loyal and more willing to carry out company policies than younger staff. Another point is related to our society’s attitudes to the old. To force someone to retire at 50 or 60 indicates that the society does not value the contribution of these people, which may be regarded as age discrimination.However, others believe that allowing older people to work indefinitely(无限期) is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are ambitious workaholics. Many young employees are more skillful than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement encourages new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans. Another reason is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people refuse to retire. This new generation of “old people” may think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, older workers are expected to retire. However, this can affect their right to work. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit both society and the individual.67. All the following statements are reasons for allowing old people to continue working EXCEPTthat _______.A. their contributions should be valuedB. their experience should be appreciatedC. they can be ambitious workaholicsD. they are extremely loyal employees68. The underlined sentence in the fourth passage suggests that _______.A. retired people support the young to be creativeB. more fresh employees mean more fresh ideasC. retired people are unwilling to praise new ideasD. young employees are forced to be creative69. The structure of the passage is arranged as __________70. The author is likely to agree that ________’A. it’s not wise to suggest lengthening the retirement ageB. it does make sense to set a particular retirement ageC. having different retirement age sounds unreasonableD. when to retire should depend on the employees themselvesEAustralia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安乐死)—that’s to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group’s homepage online, saying, “T his isn’t merely something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says. 71．According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?A. Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness.B. Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia.C. All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasiaD. If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours.72．The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observe rs are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.”means that observers are prepared to learn the news that .A．some other countries pass similar lawsB．Australia has to put an end to euthanasiaC．people begin to change attitudes to euthanasiaD．different effects result from the game of dominoes73．Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia?A．Australia has advanced technology of extending life.B. Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death.C．Australia is faced with a growing ageing population.D．Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence. 74．It can be inferred from the text that .A．Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10B．John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia.C．an adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pillD．Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen. 75．What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?A．Negative B．Critical C．Doubtful D．Positive。

after a miscalculation of how much rope he would need to swing through the arch ,and died from his injuries ,Known as “pendulum swinging,”the activity is relatively new—but quickly growing in popularity due to videos.Corona Arch ,where the accident took place, sits on Utah state Lands, The administration of those Lands , who had hanned commercial jumping this year,,told The Associated Press it couldn’t prevent people from doing it on their own even though a sign was put up with the warning “severe injury or death even if your equipment works.”The Bureau of Land Management, which will take over the site that includes Corona Arch, is “taking a closer look at appropriate ways to balance and manage these activities on public lands,”BLM spokeswoman Megan Crandall told The AP.Although Kyle was an experienced rock climber, he was not trained for this specific jump, according to The Deseret News , Stocking’s parents spoke to The Deseret News on Tuesday,asking other adventurers to think of their family before seeking risky thrills , “Think about your parents , your family ,your friends before you do things like this, because you might lose you life and it’s going to absolutely devastate your family,”Kyle’s mom, Linds Stcoing ,said.“Before he lift, I was standing at the bottom of the stairs ,and he was standing at the top waving and saying ,‘Goodbye, Mom’”Linda

comfort to the victims, families and citixens of Boston who remain heartbroken after the attack.Five dogs have traveled frm Ilnosis, where they are sponsored and trained by Lutheran Church Charities , to give hugs to victims in their hospital beds and to citizens on the steets . The animals are certified service dogs, but instead of being matched wth individuals with disabilities , they visit churches , hospitals ,schools and wherever they are needed to bring comfort.Tim Hetzner, president of lutheran Church Charties said, “At first the patients have sipmly smiled ,but within minutes , they begin sharing the details of the horrific day with the animals.

第一节：阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分）AAudrey Hepburn (奥黛丽·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from Gerrnan attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critica1 praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakftist at Tiff any’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Chi1dren’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会)projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.46. In Paragraph 1,“her aid work”means.A. winning an Academy Award as Best ActressB. taking acting parts in stage showsC. making her own moviesD.acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF47. The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that .A. she wanted to be a ballerinaB. her parents were from BritainC. it was safe thereD. the education there was excellent48. We can infer from the passage that .A. Audrey’s parents lived in Germany during World War ⅡB. Audrey lived in America in the 1950sC. Audrey was made to give up dancingD. the character“Gigi”in the Broadway play was her most popular role49. is NOT mentioned in the passage about Audrey Hepburn.A. MarriageB. IdentityC. ContributionD. Religion50. is the right order for Audrey’s life.①The first time she began to play in movies.②She returned to London from the Netherlands.③She won an Academy Award as Best Actress.④She travelled all over the wor1d in support of UNlCEF projects.⑤She played a part in My Fair Lady.A.②①③⑤④B.①②③⑤④C. ②①⑤③④D. ①②⑤③④BMerrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of .America's farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of "useless" college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.“There couldn't be anything that's more incorrect," Merrigan said. "We know that there aren't enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.“I truly believe we're at a golde n age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows," said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. "Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture. "The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers' Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best, president of Future Fanners of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21 -year-old Best hopes his message-that this is a new time in agriculture-will motivate the next generation to turn around the statistics. Never before have we had the innovations ( 创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has e ver been,” he said. “there’s really a place for everybody to fit in.”51. What is the new challenge to American agriculture?A. Fewer and older farmers.B. Higher fuel prices.C. More natural disasters.D. Lower agricultural output.52.Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country?A. To draw federal agriculture officials' attention.B. To select qualified agriculture graduates.C. To clarify a recent blog posting.D. To talk more students into farming careers53. According to Matt Rush, American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because__________.A. the government will cover production costsB. global food supplies will be even lowerC. investment in agriculture will be profitableD. America will increase its food export54. What do the underlined words "to turn around the statistics" in the last paragraph mean?A. To re-analyze the result of the national census.B. To increase agricultural production.C. To bring down the average age of farmers.D. To invest more in agriculture.55.In which section of the newspaper can you most probably read the article?A. BusinessB. ScienceC. HealthD. EntertainmentCMichael, Rae, Jequita, Alice, Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common: They all love animals so much that they’re driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter.The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter, help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray（流浪）pets.The shelter, at 12300 Wayne Road, opened in June 2011 and operates on money raised in the community. To date, bingos and other fundraising activities have brought in more than ＄177.000，according to community leader William Wadsworth, but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet.“Without their help, this building would not be an outstanding place,”Wadsworth said.“Their time and devotion is beyond what I ever expected. And I thank them all.”The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers, Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff, who spend much of their day patrolling（巡逻）the city and housing stray dogs and cats. The two, both with 32 years of experience, count on the public to be the eyes and cares of the shelter. They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter.That’s where the volunteers come in. They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption. They clean cages, play with the animals, feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks. They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms.“We couldn’t do it without them,” said Ratcliff. “They come in and go right to work. We depend on them a lot. They help run the place,” added Hall.56.What is the purpose of this text?A. To raise enough money for the stray pets.B. To advertise for the Romulus Animal Shelter.C. To praise the volunteers for caring animals.D. To house more stray dogs and cats in the city.57..Why does the Animal Shelter need the efforts of volunteers?A. Because it has just opened for l year.B. Because it has too many stray pets.C. Because there are only 2 animal control officers.D. Because it has a very tight budget.58.Many volunteers came to help in the shelter mainly because_____________.A. they are living near the shelterB. they have rich experience in caring animalsC. they love animals very muchD. they can raise some money for the shelter59.Which of the following isn’t the volunteers’ work?A. Patrolling the city.B. Feeding the pets.C. Cleaning the cages.D. Picking up supplies.60.We can learn from the text that_________.A. all the stray pets will live in the shelter foreverB. most stray pets were picked up by the control officersC. the animals with most beautiful pictures on the websites will be adoptedD. the volunteers’ work was highly praised by the control officersDIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker(贴画) for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well.The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables—either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas—in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where Parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables—and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround(转机) also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may haveseemed “insincere” to their children.61. The purpose of writing the passage is .A. to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB. to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietC. to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents62. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2probably means “_______”.A. shoot from behind the backB. make a fire in the backyardC. produce an unexpected resultD. achieve what was planned63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B. It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.C. Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D. Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.64. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?A. By comparison.B. By asking questions.C. By giving examples.D. By discussion.65. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B. Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.C. Children are difficult to inspire.D. Parents should give up verbal praise.第二节：对话填空（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AI grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a big fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.When the weather was bad he would drive me to school in his old truck, which was older than he was. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, "No, Dad. "It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I'm too old for a goodbye kiss." My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and said, "You are a big boy, a man. I won't kiss you anymore. "It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. His boat was found adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the boats.Now how I wish to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.46.

中职英语复习模拟题：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并标在答题卡的相应位置。

（A）Pottery is the name given to all kinds of useful or artistic objects made from clay. Pottery can be plates or water pots or baskets. Pottery can be large or small, fancy or plain. Pottery is part of the large family of ceramics（陶器）.Ceramics are synthetic materials. For example, bricks and tiles (瓦片) are both ceramics.How is pottery made? First, a potter takes some clay. Clay is a soft, red material from the earth. It looks a little like red dirt, but it's very different. Clay is thick and rich. Wet clay can be worked into any shape. When the clay dries, it will keep that shape. The potters takes some clay and pushes and squeezes（挤压）it until it is soft and smooth. After that, the clay can be shaped into anything. There are several ways to shape clay. Sometimes potters use their hands. Sometimes they use a special wheel. They place the clay in the center of a round, flat wheel. The wheel moves very fast, and the potter shapes the clay.After the potter has shaped the clay, it can be decorated(装饰). Potters use glaze, which is a kind of paint, to decorate their work. Some glazes are very simple. Other glazes have beautiful colors and designs. The glaze is not just beautiful. It is also useful. The glaze makes the pottery smooth and waterproof. Potters also make some decorative lines and designs on the surface. After it is decorated, the clay must be baked, or fired, in a special oven.Baking the clay at very high temperature makes it hard and strong. Firing also makes the glaze stick to the pottery. When the firing is over, the potter carefully removes the pottery from the oven and lets it cool slowly. If it cools too quickly, it could crack and break.Since pottery is waterproof, it is very popular for dishes. You can find examples of pottery in almost any home. But pottery can also be found in museums. Some pieces of pottery are valuable and beautiful pieces of art.31. It is possible that ceramics are materials of _______ .A. metalB. plasticC. woodD. earth32. The word "waterproof" means _______ .A. 能盛水的B. 防水的C. 溶解于水的D.吸水性强的33. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Plates, water pots and bowls are all examples of pottery.B. Wet clay can be made into anything of different shapes by the hands or a special wheel.C. The clay becomes smooth and waterproof because of the glaze.D. After the firing in high temperature, pottery is easy to break.（B）People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles, pushing your shopping cart. You probably hear soft, slow music in the supermarket. This kind of music is playing to relax you and make you walk slowly. Thus, you will probably stay longer and buy more food.Where do you go in the supermarket when you first arrive? Many people go to the meat section first. This area of the store has many different kinds of meat. Some kinds are expensive and others are not. Usually, some kinds of meat are on sale. So it has a special low price. The manager of the store knows where the customers usually enter the meatsection. The meat on sale is usually at the other end of the section, away from where the customers enter. If you want to buy this specially priced meat, you have to walk by the more expensive meat first. Maybe you will see something that you want to buy before you reach the cheaper, inexpensive meat. Then you will spend more money in the meat section.The diary section sells milk that is low in fat. Some supermarkets sell three different containers（包装盒）of low-fat milk. Each container looks different, but each contains the same product. One says "1% fat", one says "99% fat free" and one says "low-fat" in big letters and "1%"in very small letters. If you look carefully you can see that all the milk has the same amount of fat, and each container is the same size. The prices of all these three should be the same. However, in many stores these three containers of milk would each have a different price. The store will make more money if a customer chooses the milk that costs the most.Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. People often stop to look at the products in attractive containers. But remember, many products will say, "Buy me!". Stop and think which ones are the best value for your money.34. The word "aisles" in the first paragraph means _______ .A. the entrance of a supermarketB. the place where you pay for your goodsC. the way between the shelvesD. the place where the special priced meat is on sale.35. When you walk by the expensive meat, _______ .A. maybe you will buy someB. you will not look at itC. you will buy diary productsD. maybe it is on sale36. The three different kinds of low-fat milk _______ .A. contain three different amount of milkB. contain three different kinds of milkC. each have the same amount of fatD. are all the same price37. Supermarket managers make the food attractive so _______ .A. it is cheapB. the customers will buy moreC. it is expensiveD. it is in the diary section（C）American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects no matter they are wealthier or not than he.Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself. If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear. The idea of a bank account(在银行开户) is too early for so small a child, although he can be made understand and enjoy saving his coins-not all of them, only a part of what he receives-to buy something he especially wants.

But we have started toreversethe trend, particularly in many areas of the UnitedStatesand overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.
Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animalsandthe buying and selling of wildlife products. Theseproducts come from hunting elephants, tigersand rhinos, besides killing marine life.

ALast night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing（回响）across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted（爆发）. O'Donnel had scored!Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal. Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him.Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie.

It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more proba bly you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in theopen .second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy.

中职英语高考复习模拟试题及含答案：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题。

每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AWill it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class. Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.56. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.A. no breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. little food for breakfastD. different breakfast or none57. The results of the test show that ________.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person s workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast58. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.A. lose weightB. not lose weightC. be healthierD. gain a lot of weight59. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.D. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.60. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.A. he will fall illB. he will fail to listen to his teacherC. he will not make progress in his studyD. his mind will work more slowlyBWhen Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.61. What’s the main idea of th e first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.62. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and redB. grey and blackC. blue and greenD. yellow and orange63. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to schoolB. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time64. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents decorate their houses65. This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaCMost children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age onrelationship issues, or problems at home.Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk —I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit —keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt —excellent!It seems like another language, and it is!66. The passage is written for ______.A. childrenB. parentsC. teachersD. net bar owners67. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. The Internet is no good for children.B. The chat language is strange to adults.C. Children shouldn’t chat so much online.D. The Internet is a good place for children.68. The purpose of writing this passage is to advise ______.A. people not to use the net language in real lifeB. children not to meet online friends freelyC. teachers to have students study on computersD. parents to protect their children from online dangers69. In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for themB. teach them to use correct net wordsC. surf the Internet together with themD. forbid them to use the Internet70. If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about somethingsecret online, he may use ______.A. bbfnB. lolC. pawD. cul8erDA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus.
