AFrom: terri @ wombat. Com. AuTo: (happylizijun) @ yahoo. com. cnSubject: My schoolHi, Li Zijun,Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in common. I wonder if our school life i s similar too.I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and 80 teachers. My c lass has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class.In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choos e from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, Germa n, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional sub jects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the High School Certificate.As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities a t school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society.We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepa re for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 p m, make myself a snack and work till 6 pm. Then I help the fa mily to make dinner and we all eat together. I’m usually back i n my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 o’clock and w atch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays , I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in ti ll late on Sunday morning. Then it’s back to the books on Sun day afternoon.How about you? What’s your school life like? Do you have a lot of homework? What do you do to relax when you’re not s tudying? I’m looking forward to finding out.Your Australian friend,Terrie21.How many subjects do the students have to do at least in Year 11 and 12?A.11B.3.C.4.D.6.22.What does the underlined phrase “sit for” in Para3 mean?A.pass.B.take.C.go for.D.hold.23.On Sunday afternoon, Terri usually______.A.read booksB.play in the school bandC.play basketballD.helps her family to prepare dinnerBShakespeare’s Birthplace and Exhibition of Shakespeare’s W orldWelcome to the world-famous house where William Shakespeare was born in l564 a nd where he grew up. The property (房产) remained in the ownership of Shakespeare’s family until 1 806. The House has welcomed visitors travelling from all over the world, for over 250 years.◆ Enter through the Visitors’ Centre and see the highly-praised exhibition Shakespeare’s World, a lively and full intro duction to the life and work of Shakespeare.◆ Stand in the rooms where Shakespeare grew up.◆ Discover examples of furniture and needlework from Shake speare’s period.◆ Enjoy the traditional English garden, planted with trees and flowers mentioned in the poet’s works.★ The Birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map;nearest is Windsor Street (3 minutes ’ walk).★ The House may present difficulties but the Visitors’ Centre, its exhibition, and the garden are accessible (可进入的) to wheelchair users★ The Shakespeare Coffee House (opposite the Birthplace).24.

A wheelchair user may need help to enter________.A.the HouseB.the gardenC.the Visitors’ CentreD.the exhibition hallCThe morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching, an d I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt:“T he trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could h old out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain wa s really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally,at about l unchtime, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said,“the dentis t will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn ’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw not hing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.“Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautif ul picture, right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling. How cons iderate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understan d what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!27.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling t hat morning?A.Cheerful.B.Nervous.C.Satisfied.D.Upset.28.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A.The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.B.The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.C.The surroundings of the dentist’s office.D.The laughing assistant of the dentist.29.Why did the author suddenly smile?A.Because the dentist came at last.B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.C.Because she could relax in the chair.D.Because the assistant kept comforting her.30.What did the author learn from her experience most proba bly?A.Strike while the iron is hot.B.Have a good word for one's friend.C.Put oneself in other's shoes.D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.DChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab eq uipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “te xtbook questions” about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachach e. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours .Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 ye ars have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three secon ds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Ve ry good”. These words work well when it comes to encouragin g good behavior(行为). But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or co ming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标) for your disagreement.Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any le sson children can learn from a book or a television program. L et children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water vaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water lev el drop.31.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, a nd to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _______.A.let them see the world aroundB.share the children’s curiosityC.explain difficult phrases about scienceD.supply the children with lab equipment?32.In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” c ould best be replaced by ______.A.any questionsB.any problemsC.questions from textbooksD.any number of questions33.

AA. Book TheaterB. BookmobileC. Computer TutorD. Reader Desk2. If you get the job of “Bookmobile”, you are expected to _________.A. work with young childrenB. check materials for guestsC. lift heavy boxesD. repair computers3. The purpose of the advertisement is to _________ .A. attract students to librariesB. offer job opportunitiesC. raise money for librariesD. introduce new booksBIt's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection betwe en the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.4. The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to _______.A. remind readers of their own special food.B. deepen the understanding of hunger.C. report the discovery of craving study.D. introduce the topic of the whole passage.5. What do we learn about food craving?A. It shows food is linked to feelings.B. It ensures a person survives hunger.C. It means the stomach functions well.D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.6. What's the likely result of dieting?A. The decrease of chemicals.B. The increase of food desire.C. The refusal of fat and sugar.D. The disappearance of appetite.7. In which column of a newspaper can you see this passage?A. EducationB. EntertainmentC. ScienceD. EconomyCIt is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well. And our ancestors already understood it well. As an old proverb says, “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that. Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers—they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together.Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. There are other ways such as helping with homework. reading to a child, coaching a children’s team, providing emotional support, helping solve problems and building self-esteem（自尊）. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our children’s future—invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, a teacher, a nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility－and the joy—of bringing a child to his or her full potential.8. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Raising a child well needs various efforts.B. Communities play an important part in raising a child.C. Our ancestors raised a child by using the whole village’s food.D. People in the same village should take care of a child together.9. Which of the following has the author stressed in the text?A. Family education.B. School education.C. Life-long education.D. Early childhood education.10. The author thinks visiting the workplace can have an effect on children’s .A. talentB. healthC. gradesD. occupations11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To show his research on education.B. To call for more attention to children.C. To make examples of education reform.D. To introduce some ways to teach children well.DSitting too much is linked to changes in a section of the brain that is important for memory, according to a recent study by UCLA researchers of middle-aged and older adults.Studies show that too much sitting, like smoking, increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Researchers at UCLA want to see how sedentary behavior (sitting for long periods of time) influences the health of the brain, especially regions of the brain that are important to memory formation.UCLA researchers gathered 35 people aged 45 to 75 and asked about their physical activity levels and the average number of hours per day they spent sitting over the previous work. Each person had a high-resolution MRI (热分辨磁共振成像)scan, which provides a detailed look at the medial temporal lobe, or MTL, a brain region involved in the formation of new memories.The researchers found that sedentary behavior is an important predictor of thinning of the MTL and that physical activity, even at high levels, is not enough to compensate the harmful effects of sitting for long periods.“This study does not prove that too much sitting causes thinner brain structures, but instead that more hours spent sitting are associated with thinner regions,” resea rchers said. In addition, the researchers focused on the hours spent sitting, but did not ask participants if they took breaks during this time.The researchers next hope to follow a group of people for a longer duration to determine if sittingcauses the thinning and what role gender (性別), race, and weight might play in brain health related to sitting.“MTL thinning can be an indication of cognitive (认知的) decline in middle-aged and older adults. Reducing sedentary behavior may be a possible target for measures designed to improve brain health in people at risk for Alzheimer(阿尔茨海默) disease,” researchers said.12. What is the study done by UCLA mainly intended to find out?A. What harm sitting too much causes.B. Why sitting too much is like smoking.C. How too much sitting affects brain health.D. Whether too much sitting causes early death13. Participants were scanned by a high-resolution MRI to .A. evaluate their memory lossB. examine their MTL conditionsC. record their physical activity levelsD. record the length of time for their sitting14. What do UCLA researchers think of their study?A. It is a great success.B. It is of little practical value.C. It must target the young.D. It still needs to be improved.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Long Sitting Is Bad for Your BrainB. How to Improve Brain HealthC. Sitting Causes Many Health ProblemsD. An Easy Way to Prevent Memory Loss第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
