ADavid Beckham was born on 2nd May, 1975, in the suburbs of London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skill award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led to him going for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy at secondary school he played for the schools of Essex and also for his county team.On 8th July, 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under- 21 team. On 2nd April, 1995, he played his first major football league game against Leeds United. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both seasons , with David scoring many goals.His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1997/7 season, he scored an amazing goal from beyond the halfway line. Seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, David sent the ball over the goalkeepers head and into the goal. It was a wonderful goal and Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157kph. He also had the ability to make the ball curl from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. He could made it glide high through the air, or dive down steeply. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.1. Which word can take the place of the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 1?A. successB. InterestC.

On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again.I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.5.

He went too far in the wrong bus.D.He followed the policeman’s direction.CWay of Life for StudentsThe Internet is way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband(宽带)connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing(冲浪)habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.The study also showed that 65 percent make loan(贷款)payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.9. College students in the US, as this passage shows,______.A. waste much time visiting the InternetB. lead an exciting life by using the InternetC. don’t ha ve to learn their lessons in their classroomsD. spend too much time, in the opinion of the writer, visiting the Internet10.

AThey will shake hands in their historic meeting scheduled in Singapore on Saturday, head of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday.The two-part meeting includes one session open to the media and another behind closed doors, said Zhang Zhijun, who is also head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, when interviewed at the Zijinshan Summit for Entrepreneurs across the Taiwan Strait.According to Zhang, Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou, as "leaders of the two sides" of the Taiwan Strait, will exchange views during the closed-door meeting.After the meeting, press conferences will be held by both sides. Later, the two leaders are expected to attend a dinner, said Zhang.Zhang said the meeting will lift cross-Strait communication to a new high.The landmark meeting is a breakthrough in face-to-face exchange and communication between the leaders across the Taiwan Strait after the relationship became strained following the events of 1949.Zhang said the meeting will improve mutual trust and allow for an exchange of opinions on handling the cross-Strait ties.In addition, the meeting will help strengthen the 1992 Consensus, which was reached in talks between the two sides in 1992 and recognizes the one-China principle, and safeguards the peaceful development of cross-Strait ties, according to Zhang.Zhang added that the scheduled meeting will also benefit regional peace and stability.Also at Wednesday's summit, Chiang Pin-kung, former chairman of the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, hailed the upcoming meeting between the two leaders as a milestone for cross-Strait ties.Chiang said to the paper that he was sure the meeting will give a boost to the peaceful development of cross-Strait ties.1.

Even those who describe themselves as color-blind are normally just color lack. A strongly color-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colors, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble. It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in color is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol, who’s a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it’s sunny I cannot see to do my work. ”But if being truly color-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world?Well, we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami. As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It’s believed he had a genetic fault that causes color-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herro1 and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though it’s hard work we enjoy it.”5. What is Pingelap famous as?A. A tiny island．B. A color-blind islandC. A mentally troubled island．D. A beautiful island．6. What can we infer about Herrol?A. He may stay at home when it’s sunny．B. He is interested in burnt-out images．C. He likes taking photos very much．D. He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more．7. What would be the best title for the text?A. The history of PingelapB. The disadvantage of HerrolC. The island of color blindnessD. The advantage of color blindnessCMost of us don’t remember our first two or three years of life. But our earliest experiences may stick with us for years and continue to influence us well into adulthood.A study, published in Child Development, found that the type of emotional support that a child receives during the first three and a half years has an effect on education, social life and romantic relationships even 20 or 30 years later.Babies raised in supportive and caring home environments tended to do better on tests later on, and they were more likely to get higher degrees as adults. They were also more likely to get along with their classmates and feel satisfied in their romantic relationships.“It seems like, at least in these early years, the parents’ role is to communicate with the children and let them know, ‘I’m here for you when you’re upset, when you need me. And when you don’t need me, I’m your cheerleader,’” says Lee Raby, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Delaware who led the study.Raby used data collected from 243 people who participated in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk. All the participants were followed from birth until they turned 32. “Researchers went into these kids’ home at times. Other times, they brought the children and their parents to the university and observed how they communicated with each other,” says Raby.Of course, parental behavior in the early years is just one of many influences, and it’s not necessarily causing the benefits seen in the study. While summarizing the results, the researchers accounted for the participants’ s ocial status and the environment in which they grew up.Finally, they found that about 10 percent of someone’s academic achievement was connected with the quality of their home life at three. Later experiences, genetic factors and even luck explain the other 90 percent.8. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A. individual experiencesB. child developmentC. human relationsD. educational background9. What can we learn about people who have had bad childhood experiences from the text?A. They don’t remember their younger days at all when growing up.B. They long for emotional support to do better at school.C. They can’t recover from separating from their parents.D. They are still affected by their earliest experiences even decades later.10. Researchers collected data mainly by ______.A. photographing the participants’ daily livesB. communicating with the participants’ parentsC. observing the participants’ behaviorD. summarizing the participan ts’ position第二节(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。

On二．阅读理解（每小题2分,共30分）A.Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor(a person who follows next in order) to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a distinguished scholar on History of the American South and head of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard.” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential sear ch committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a devoted teacher, and a wonderful human being.”Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been head of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题).Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist.

Dealing with Depression offers expert assistance and treatment.C.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(分类) as “honor” help youcreate this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions make happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and benefit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky（偷偷）excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be thankful to our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then , what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep inner rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is made by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts contribute to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier life. And it is easy to think and act honorably again when we are happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it is easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.28. Based on the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our________.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship29. The writer thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is similar to ________.A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising30. What’s our feeling if we make the clerk know her mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unlucky.C. We’ll have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.D.Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why dotheir parents just give them a certain amount? 31The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 32Some children get weekly pocket money.Others get monthly pocket money.First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first，some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 33In order to encourage their children to do some housework，some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 34Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 35 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.A. They can save it for future use.B. Timing is another consideration.C. As helping at home is a normal part of family life.D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child.F. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.G. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget. 三．单词拼写（每小题1分,共15分）36.

Secondly, technology enhances the efficiency of learning. Tools like educational software and apps can personalize learning experiences, catering to individual learning styles and paces. Moreover, technology facilitates collaboration. Students can work together on projects using cloud-based platforms, regardless of their physical locations.However, the integration of technology in education also presents challenges. It requires continuous professional development for teachers to keep up with the latest educational technologies. Additionally, not all students have equal access to technological resources, which can exacerbate educational inequality.In conclusion, while technology brings numerous benefits to modern education, it is crucial to address the associated challenges to ensure that it serves as a tool for equitable and effective learning.。

AArthur Miller（1915-2005）is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century．Miller`s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream” However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s．Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go．Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end．When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was the first play to win all three of these major awards．Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the eveningof February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway．1．Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA?A．He suffered from severe hunger in his home country．B．He was attracted by the "Great American Dream．C．He hoped to make his son a dramatist．D．His family business failed．2．The play Death of a Salesman ________ .A．exposes the cruelty of the American business worldB．discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyC．talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD．focuses on the skills in doing business3．What can we learn about Willy Loman?A．He treats his employer badly． B．He runs the Wagner Company．C．He is a victim of the American system． D．He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues．4．After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman ________ .A．achieved huge success B．won the first Tony AwardC．was warmly welcomed by salesmen D．was severely attacked by dramatists5．What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family． B．The awards Arthur Miller won．C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced． D．Arthur Miller and his best-known play．BLast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montanasoil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, bu t Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more n atural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies o ver the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”This craft based on theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disc onnected from life,” Morris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were lessstressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.6. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.A. Twitter is having a hard timeB. old cottages are in need of protectionC. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in MontanaD. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology7. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virtual world8. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.A. have destroyed many per-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines9. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. doubtful10. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Past Glories, Future DreamsB. The Virtual World, the Real ChallengeC. High-tech Companies, Low-tech OfficesD. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity第二节：阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）What is life's greatest gift? 11 . Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) ourlife. The tool doesn't come free，however，for the price of choice is responsibility.12 . The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 13 . We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey.We need to ask questions：Am I moving closer to my goals? If not，what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myselfto my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.14 . And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess game. 15 .A．It is free will or choice.B．You have to make choices every day.C．Make the best moves you can under the circumstances.D．But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.E．Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.F．Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get.

Whatis its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meantto change the usual method of teaching in order to 16 students’ stronginterest in computers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 17 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is 18 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology. 19 , views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success 20 whether they can make use of computers effectively.Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see21 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present, 20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks,a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 22 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the 23 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 24 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forcedto 25 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 26 IT learning has just started. All teachers —including the seniors who are very 27 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 28 from the very beginning. They will become 29 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 30 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 31 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then 32 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 33 through the computer before class comes to an endin order to “complete” his IT learning34 . 35 the teachingof the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desiregoals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on?I am not so sure.16.

A Dear Derrick, Although under great pressure, we all get on well with each other in this large office. You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you. You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal -life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two weeding gifts, one funeral remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts. It’s not only the collected -from who are growing uncomfortable(and poor), but此卷只装订不密封 班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号the collected—for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.Thank you for understanding.21. The underlined word “ contributions ” probably means _________ .A. reportsB. suggestionsC. understandingD. money22. Derrick is expected to _________.A. show more kindnessB. discontinue the present practiceC. quit being the organizer for gift givingD. know more about co-workers’ families23. This is basically a letter of _________.A. apologyB. dissatisfactionC. appreciationD. sympathyBYou may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration(启迪).●Michael Dell, University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed (赐予)with and go.●J.K. Rowling, Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myselfat your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.●Steve Jobs, Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.●Bill Gates, Harvard Univer sityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities ,smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger, poverty, and so on.24. What Michael Dell said is to urge us to .A. listen to our heartB. pursue our dreamsC. follow others' exampleD. learn from our mistakes25. What did J.K. Rowling fear most when she was studying in university?A. Poverty.B. Hunger.C. Failure.D. Appearance.26. Who wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"?A. Michael Dell.B. J.K. Rowling.C. Bill Gates.D. Steve Jobs.27. What does Bill Gates suggest people do?A. Make contributions to the environment.B. Take responsibility for their own behavior.C. Make joint efforts to rid some global problems.D. Master as much advanced technology as possible.CThey like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend, and theyspend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy — games, CDs and clothing — are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a service that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate (刺激)online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school — 88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online —mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a concealed (隐藏的) 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.28. What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Sellers.B. Buyers.C. Teenagers.D. Parents.29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access．B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.30. A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use _________.A. a new machineB. special coins and notesC. prepaid cardsD. pay-as-you-go mobile phones31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Online shopping traps.B. Internet users in the US and the UK.C. New credit cards for parents.D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.DBritish English may have come first, but around the world, the American way of spelling is now far more popular.A recent examination of the English language shows that publications now largely use the American version swapping words like “centre” for “center” after the 1880s. To get data, researchers used Google’s Ngram Viewer to analyze the words found in all English-language publications from 1800 to 2000. Entering a word into the viewer will show how frequently it occurs within the massive corpus(语料库)of books around the world.According to the data, this shift was further strengthened around World War I. Since then, English-language publications have preferred “gray” and “flavor” instead of “grey” and “flavour”. The American spelling has continued to grow over the years, with “liter” passing “liter” around 1900, and “center” becoming the more common choice over “centre” in 1913. “1913 marked a turning point in British spelling, as the American alternative became more frequently used in literature,” the post explain s, in regard to “center”. This was just a year before the beginning of World War I, which many views as a key period in America’s rise to superpower status.Though this switched again between 1920s and the late 1930s, the American, spelling took over for g ood around 1940, during which time the spelling “airplane” shifted dramatically over “aeroplane”.Ever since the middle of the 19th century, even the British Isles have slowly rejected the old spelling. The future is gray for British English.32. Which of the following is true?A. American spelling takes over all the time.B. British people refuse to use American spelling.C. All the media prefer American spelling.D. The change in spelling is more obvious around World War I.33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A. The popularity of American spelling.B. The examples of the change in spelling.C. The history of English spelling.D. The reason for the change in English spelling.34. The passage is developed _______.A. by spaceB. by timeC. by processD. by logic35. The passage is written to _____.A. introduce the change of English spellingB. encourage the change in English spellingC. compare the difference between American spelling and British spellingD. introduce different views on English spelling第二节（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。
