Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials, this may not be as 41 as it sounds. Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide 42 resistance to dirt as well as water. As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials.The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products. This self-cleaning nature is known as the “lotus effect”. The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost 43clean. By observing nature, scientists are 44 the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered. Because of this, some remarkable new products have been 45 . Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water. A special 46 on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain. In fact, these new windows have already been 47 to some cars. Even when traveling at high speed through rain, these cars never have to use their windshield wipers (雨刮器).Although we have already seen some practical applications, even more dramatic 48 will be made in the future, and they will, perhaps, change our world completely. Undoubtedly, technology is an important development, and it will have an even bigger 49 on our lives.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank w ith the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining(留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 50 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 51 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business—52 that the customer remains a customer.53 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 54 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 55implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 56 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 57 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 58 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 59 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer 60 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 61 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that ther e is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 62 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 63 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 64 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.50.A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all51.A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe52.A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving53.A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D. Failing54.A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses55.A. culture B. social C. financial D. economical56.A. promise B. plan C. mistake D. differe nce57.A. cost B. opportunity C. profit D. budget58.A. as a result B. on the whole C. in conclusion D. on the contrary59.A. huge B. potential C. extra D. reasonable60.A. beliefs B. loyalty C. habits D. interest61.A. altering B. understanding C. keeping D. attracting62.A. Assumed B. Respected C. Established D. Unexpected63.A. agreeable B. flexible C. friendly D. sensitive64.A. unfair B. difficult C. essential D. convenientSection BSe ction CSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Sociologists have long recognised that organisations of less than 200 individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members. Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting less flexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting from failures of communication.One solution to this problem would, of course, be to structure large organisations into smaller units of a size that can act as a group. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, larger organizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization. Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station. Whether bychance or by design, it so happened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The whole process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the work seemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying.It was some time before they work out what the problem was. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building, they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole organization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information was casually being exchanged.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)65.What size of an organization may lead to communication failures?66.What are the two solutions to the communication problem within a large organization?67.After the TV station moved into new accommodation, its operation ___________________________.68.From the case of the TV station, we can conclude it is ____________________________________ that make(s)an organization more successful.第Ⅱ卷(共45分)I.

They have lots of pocket money to spend．And they spend 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.9．What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Sellers. B．Buyers.C．Teenagers. D．Parents.10．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.11．A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use _________.A．a new machine B．special coins and notesC．prepaid cards D．pay-as-you-go mobile phones 12．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.13．This passage is most probably ______.A．an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB．a school report at the end of an academic yearC．a self-introduction meant to apply for a jobD．a part of a recommendation letter from a university14．According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____. A．a wise leader B．a skillful performerC．a gifted scientist D．a good social worker15．From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A．is good at singing and dancing B．is about to graduate from a university C．has an interest in being a surgeon D．specializes in psychologyTwenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets．But for all the progress, people still don’t know one another very well. That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “feast of conversation”－events where individuals pair with persons they don’t know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “Where are you from?”Mr．Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.The “feast” in London looks not at politic s or events, but at how people have felt about work,relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives．The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities changed over the years?” Or, “What have you rebelled against the past?”As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain．Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another．“We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says．“But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer．The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours．But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.“It’s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up．“What we did is not ordinary, but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”Some said they felt “liberated” to talk on sensitive topics．Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we sudden ly opened up.”16．What can the “conversations” be best described as?A．Deep and one-on-one. B．Sensitive and mad.C．Instant and inspiring. D．Ordinary and encouraging.17．In a “feast of conversations”, participants ______.A．pair freely with anyone they likeB．have a guided talk for a set of period of timeC．ask questions they themselves would not answerD．wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features．18．In paragraph 6, “they would be ‘intimate’” is closest in meaning to “______”.A．they would have physical contact B．they would have in-depth talk C．they would be close friends D．they would exchange basic information 19．From the passage, we can conclude that what Zeldin does is ______.A．an attempt to promote thinking interactionB．one of the maddest activities ever conductedC．a try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideasD．an effort to give people a chance of talking freely三、阅读表达Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before.But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure.That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.Led by Hugo Westland, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue(疲劳) in people after they got tired while they were still employed.The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years.They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement.The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work.The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions(养老金) that French workers enjoy.Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says.“We don’t know if the decre ase in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement.But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes topension plans, which may affect retirees’ health after they leave their jobs－with less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)20．According to some recent studies, retired people may have depression and higher rates of other diseases like __________.21．Westerlund’s group f ound that in the year just after the retirement most retired French workers felt much less tired both __________.22．What does the word “improvements” in paragraph 5 refer to?__________23．Retirement may make people happier with __________.四、提纲类作文24．Write an English composition in 120~150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.就你读过的一本书，写一篇读后感。

How can children use fluoride safely?5、This question is answered by Dr Marcia M．Rich who practises general dentistry in Newholt．She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares．6、My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions．Young children have a tendency t o swallow toothpaste, which is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush．If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and come to no harm.7、Almost all medicines have an adverse effect－or even be deadly－if they are not taken as directed．So you are right－fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities．It is for the reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from the doctor or dentist．Please be assured that fluoride overdoses are rare－in fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to fluoride poisoning.8、Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities as long as it is used试卷第4页，共13页correctly ．If fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even deaths in extreme cases ．If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate first-aid could save a life ．A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting ．If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. 9、Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis ．The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children ．It can also be caused by inappropriate use of fluoride drop or other fluoride supplements, for example when fluoride is already is already present in drinking water ．Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets ．But for all the progress, people still don‟t know one another very well. That brings about Theodore Zeldin‟s “feast of conversation”－events where individuals pair with persons they don‟t know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “W here are you from?”Mr ．Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives ．The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities changed over the years?” Or, “What have you rebelled against the past?”As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain ．Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another ．“We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says ．“But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”Th e main rules of the “feast”: Don‟t pair with someone you know or ask questions you wouldnot answer．The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours．But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.“It‟s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up．“What we did is not ordinary, but it can‟t be madder than the world already is.”Some said they felt “liberated” to talk on sensitive topics．Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”10、What can the “conversations” be best described as?A．Deep and one-on-one.

The member states all use English as a common working language and have similar legal and education systems, but represent nearly every religion, race and political system on the planet. The Common Wealth is active in a huge number of areas such as health and economics. The heads of government meeting is held every two years where the leaders of the member states get together to discuss current issues. Common Wealth Day is held in the second week of March every year when Common Wealth’s citizens, particularly children, have a chance to celebrate their friendship. The Common Wealth also holds sporting a nd arts events. There is an annual writer’s price and a yearly arts and crafts competition. Perhaps the most well-known event sponsored by organization is the Common Wealth games, which is held every four years in one of the member countries. The games have gained another name, the friendly games because of their reputation for good-natured competitiveness.Questions:11.What do the member states of the Common Wealth have in common?12.What do people do on Common Wealth Day according to the passage?13.What is the passage mainly about?Blank 14-16 are based on the following speech.There is a popular belief that a college education is something to be endured in order to become qualified to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard. The most obvious goal of a college educationer is to give knowledge, but it is far from the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your memory for many years, and some of those that do might be proved false by new knowledge. At Harvard, we have looked to other things we can give that will last a little longer. Among these things are certain habits of mind, such as the ability to have more critical analysis, to make more accurate and logical use of information and so forth. In addition to these habits of thought, it is our hope that we can help you develop certain attitudes of mind like a willingness to accept uncertainty and the lack of definite truth. Beyond providing these qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of leisure time which can be cultivated in the classroom. Yet, the cultivation of this ability will also occur outside of the classroom. For example, on sports fields, in music rooms, and so on.Questions:14.Which of the following is regarded as the most important at Harvard?15.Which quality mentioned below can be cultivated both inside and outside the classroom?16.What is the speech mainly about?Section CBlank 17-20 are based on the following conversation.W: Good morning! Green Sense. Can I help you?M: Hello, my name is Mary White and I want to complain about a sea food restaurant.W: OK, can I take down your telephone number?M: My phone number is 655038.W: Good! So what would you like to complain about?M: Actually two things. First, the restaurant dumps its rubbish on the street and you can imagine what that attracts—rats!W: Right! I’ve got that! And the second problem?M: The restaurant doesn’t put bottles and cans in recycling bins. It’s not responsible.W: Got it! What’s the address of the sea food restaurant?M: It’s 449 Shanghai Street.W: OK! We’ll look into it and call you back.M: Thank you. Goodbye!Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.Blank 21-24 are based on the following conversation.W: What’s the article about?M: It’s basically about memory. And it says you’ve got three memories: short term, medium term and long term. W: Um…M: They say that short term memory lasts only a few seconds. So you just sort of read something and you remember the beginning of the sentence just until you get to the end of the sentence.W: Um…M: And then medium term memory. The example they give is something like trying to remember that you’ve got to buy bread.W: Like a sort of a shopping list of things to do?M: Yeah! After you buy bread, you don’t need to store that memory. So it’s erased.W: Just sort of a day-to-day management.M: Eh…then long-term memory. They are talking about the major events that happen in your life such as your wedding.W: And you never forget them.M: Yeah…I suppose so. Permanent memory.。

Directions：Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fe west possible words．Sociologists have long recognised that organisations of less than 200 ndividuals can operate t hrough the free flow of information among the members．Once their size goes beyond this fi gure，the organizations are getting less flexible．So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder re sulting from failures of communication．One solution to this problem would，of course，be to structure large organisations into smaller units of a size that can act as a group．By all owing these groups to build reliance on each other，larger organizations can be built up．However，merely having groups of，say，150will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization．Somethin g else is needed：the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships．To allow free flow of information，they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual way．Maintaining too forma l a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works．The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station ．Whether by chance or by design，it so happened that there were almost exactly 150people in the station．The whole process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation．Then，for no apparent reason，the work seemed to be more difficult to do，not to say less satisfying．It was some time before they work out what the problem was．It turn out that，when the architects were designing the new building，they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it．And with that，they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole organizati on．What had apparently been happening was that，as people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room，useful information was casually being exchanged．（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）81．What size of an organization may lead to communication failures？________82．What are the two solutions to the communication problem within a large organization？________83．After the TV station moved into new accommodation，its operation________．84．From the case of the TV station，we can conclude it is________ that make（s） an organization more successful．三、完形填空19. Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,_______, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often_______the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business—_______that the customer remains a customer._______to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing_______, this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the______implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make abig_______in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to_______increases of between 25 and 85 percent.In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and_______never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in________profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer________is imp ossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paidto________them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.________customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price________, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising.

Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archeologists （考古学家） says． In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their "deep and widespread concern" about the issue． It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age． The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance．"Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice, " they write．The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3, 000 BC． A temporary extension has been approved to give archaeologists more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground．The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Hapsburg in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools that were made by early humans 950, 000 years ago． If human remains were found at Hapsburg, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was． Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed．Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains． The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it．Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: "Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer．"The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on whatrecords should be kept．（1）According to the passage， scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because________．A it was introduced by the government without their knowledge B it is only a temporary measure on the human remains C it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research D it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains．（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？________A Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time．B Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time．C Human remains ofthe oldest species were dug out at Hapsburg． D Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed．．（3）What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains？________A The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law．B The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857．C The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains．D The law on human remains hasn't changed in recent decades．．（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？________A New discoveries should be reburied， the government demands．B Law could bury ancient secrets for ever， archeologists warn．C Law on human remains needs thorough discussion， authorities say．D Research time should be extended，scientists require．五、任务型阅读23."A lie can travel half way around the world before the truth can put its boots on." That quoteis attributed to Mark Twain. In today's Internet world of "fake（假的）news", lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors（谣言）, half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to distinguish fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice. They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be skeptical of online information.Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professionally trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your informationonline, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be credible? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to confirm the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won't be fooled into chasing lies.（1）Why is the quote mentioned in paragraph 1?A To give a definition.B To introduce the topic.C To offer background information.D To highlight the wisdom of Mark Twain.（2）What will always happen to young people with news around?A They prefer a real news story.B They are easily taken in by fake news.C They can distinguish fact from opinion.D They get worried about their education.（3）What is the author's suggestion from the text?A Fight against prejudices.B Avoid traditional media.C Be an editor of your own.D Believe in trained reporters.（4）What is the text mainly about?A The truth about fake news.B The influence of fake news.C Problems with online information.D Sources of online information.六、其他24. （1）你为什么不在网上订票?

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Once upon a starless midnight an owl（猫头鹰）sat on the branch of a tree. Two mice tried to pass by quietly, unnoticed. “You!” said the owl. “Who?” they asked, in fear and astonishment, for they could not believe it was possible for anyone to see them in that thick darkness. “You two!” said the owl. The mice hurried away and told the other creatures of the field and forest that the owl was the greatest and wisest of all animals because he could see in the dark. “Can he see in the daytime, too?” asked a red fox. All the other creatures laughed lo udly at this silly question, and they set upon the red fox and his friends and drove them out of the region. Then, they sent a messenger to the owl and asked him to be their leader.When the owl appeared among the animals it was high noon and the sun was shining brightly. He walked very slowly, which gave him an appearance of great dignity, and he looked about him with large, staring eyes, which gave him an air of tremendous importance. “He's God!” screamed a hen. And the others took up the cry, “He's God!” So they followed him wherever he went and when he began to bump into things they began to bump into things, too. Finally he came to a concrete highway and he started up the middle of it and all the other creatures followed him. Presently, a bird observed a truck coming toward them at fifty miles an hour, and he reported to the owl. “There's danger ahead,” said the bird. “What?” asked the owl. The bird told him. “Aren't you afraid?” he asked. “Who?” said the owl calmly, for he could not see the truck. “He's God!” cried all the creatures again, and they were still crying “He's God!” when the truck hit them and ran them down. Some of the animals were merely injured, but most of them, including the owl, were killed.75. Hearing the owl's voice, the two mice were fearful and astonished because ____.A. mice are very timid animalsB. the owl wanted to eat themC. the owl could see them in darknessD. they thought no other animals were there76. The sentence “...they set upon the red fox and his friends...” in paragraph 1 probably means “____”.A. the red fox and his friends were under attackB. they sat on the red fox and his friendsC. they set a trap for the red fox and his friendsD. the red fox and his friends set a foolish example77. The animals followed the owl wherever he went for the reason that ____.A. the owl walked slowly with dignityB. the owl had an air of importanceC. they regarded the owl as GodD. they were not as clever as the owl78. What's the most appropriate moral of the story?A. Pride goes before a fall.B. Seeing is believing.C. Group behaviour is often mad.D. “Follow the leader” can be a dangerous game.(B)The mobile phone has been a part of our lives since the 1980s. Itenables us to stay in contact with our family and friends at all times andin most areas. However, because of the quick acceptance andextensive usage of mobiles in our lives, we have missed out on animportant step, namely, the appropriate use.Driving a carDo not use your phone while you are driving! You could concentrate on your conversation and forget to look where you are going, or you could take your eyes off the road to look at the phone's display or to press in a number. Either way, you could cause a terrible accident.In a restaurantThere is probably nothing more annoying than a diner receiving or making a call near you when you are in a restaurant. The icy glares (冷眼) you receive should be warning enough that it is not appreciated. Turn your phone off and use your message service to return calls after you leave.At the cinemaDo not give way to the desire to call a friend if the film is boring, or if you want to find out what happens. You could become the target of all the angry cinema customers.At the theatreThere is no more icy glare than that of a theatre goer who has paid a lot of money to see a show and hears your phone playing a tone. It goes without saying that you will be seen as a socially unacceptable person in this situation.In hospitalsThis is probably the most important place to make sure your phone is switched off. Your phone can disturb life-saving electro-nic equipment in hospitals, so it is necessary that your phone is switched off before you enter.On planesYour phone might disturb navigational (导航的) equipment and cause a horrible accident so you should switch it off before boarding a plane.79. According to the passage, the most annoying thing in a restaurant is that ____.A. you receive icy glaresB. a nearby diner is answering a phone callC. you have to use the message serviceD. you can not return calls until after you leave80. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Theatre goers will not give you icy glares when they hear your phone.B. When switched on in hospitals, mobile phones could endanger patients' lives.C. Passengers should switch off the phones before getting on a plane.D. Pressing in phone numbers when driving could lead to traffic accidents.81. The passage mainly describes ____.A. different functions of mobile phonesB. the overuse of mobile phones on some occasionsC. some areas where message service is forbiddenD. the proper use of mobile phones in some public places(C)Leisure and recreation and the chance to play are not luxuries for children, but essentials for normal healthy development. Long hours and days of uninterrupted work have a bad effect on children, narrowing their horizons and often disturbing them emotionally.Why then do parents allow or indeed encourage their children to work? The answer, of course, is poverty. The child's wage, however little, may mean the difference between the family eating or not eating. Many parents, not educated themselves, don't understand the value of schooling, and can neither afford to buy books and school materials, especially if the father himself is out of work.The unfortunate situation is that child labour actually contributes to adult unemployment by providing a very cheap alternative to it. This fact is illustrated in Children of the World: 30 per cent of the entire labour force in Tanzania is composed of boys and girls aged 10 to 14, and in Thailand 25 per cent, as compared to the United States where they cover only 1.6 per cent of the labour force.In agricultural areas this age old child labour system can even be beneficial as a leisurely training for the tasks of adulthood. In performing light tasks, the child feels useful and important, and this sort of work teaches him a sense of responsibility towards others and a sense of belonging. But the system which applies in the countryside becomes cruel and inhuman when it comes to the cities.82. According to the passage, a long period of physical work is harmful to children because ____.A. it will ruin their entertainmentB. it affects their mental developmentC. their attitude to life will be abnormalD. they will be easily annoyed83. The main reason for the existence of child labour is that ____.A. the parents are short-sightedB. the family needs money and helpC. children can do a better jobD. labour is a good physical exercise84. By quoting the examples about the situation in Tanzania, Thailand and America, the writer intends to tell us that ____.A. child labour is a cause of adult unemploymentB. child labour is related with traditional valuesC. in poor countries most children make their living earlyD. different countries use different labour systems85. From the passage we may infer that ____.A. children should be made useful from the time they can rememberB. child labour should be fully responsible for overall low wages for adultsC. child labour system may have a positive value in the country, but not in the cityD. the children who are forced to be breadwinners hate their parents(D)Professor Bilveer Singh grades hundreds of papers each year. In every group, he says, there are always a few that are less than original. Nowadays, the suspect source is usually the Internet. “I've caught students quoting paragraph after paragraph,” says Singh. “But they are getting smarter.” Hence the rise of A and A or “alteration and amendment”: cutting a sentence here, pasting(粘贴) a phrase there, all the while using the on-screen terms to replace complicated words with age-appropriate ones.For all its benefits, the rise of technology in the classroom has made it far easier for students to cheat—and get away with it. In the pre-wired days, plagiarism meant carefully copying paragraphs out of the books; today, kids can simply find the text, copy and paste —a much simpler and neater process. The practice is becoming popular around the globe. According to a survey by the Josephson Institute for Ethics, 74% of U.S. high-school students cheated in 2002. (“And those are just the ones admitting it.” says the Institute's Terry Harrison.) Fortunately, the same technology that makes it so easy for students to cheat is aiding teachers in catching them. The most popular anti-plagiarism service, Turnitin. com, compares a student's term paper with everything on the Internet, as well as to 's own database of papers. (Of course, as many teachers know, Google, another well-known search engine company, works pretty well, too.) has users in 51 countries; in Britain, nearly all 700 public universities have signed up for the service.Educators are trying to upgrade their inclass measures as well. Experts say teachers should make it more difficult for students to “cut and paste” by changing the assignment every year and requiring more analysis than description. And teachers shouldn't assume that kids even know what plagiarism is, as many just aren't taught how to source or reference properly. But even when they know better, kids might do the same under the heavy academic pressure and time limits they face. Critics blame parents and educators for emphasizing results over academic honesty.86. The “A and A” phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1 summarizes ____.A. the progress of the digital ageB. the application of the InternetC. the rise of computer technologyD. the new features of cheating in schools87. The expression “the pre-wired days” in paragraph 2 refers to the time before ____.A. electricity was usedB. the computer was widely usedC. the wire was inventedD. the radio and television came into being88. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The rise of computer technology makes it easier to cheat in the classroom.B. Teachers are trying to find new measures to check cheating in schools.C. Computer technology can be used to find out the cheating of students.D. Teachers are praised for their emphasis on students' academic results.89. The last two paragraphs are mainly concerned with ____.A. the importance of academic honestyB. some measures to fight against plagiarismC. some well-known search engine companiesD. experts' suggestions on anti-plagiarism第II卷I.
