That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the hum an mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relation ships with more than a limited number of people. No matter ho w hard the Internet tries to put you in communication, its best ef forts will be defeated by your mind.The problem is twofold（双重的）. First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number i s about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the qual ity of your relationships depends on the amount of time you inv est in then. We invest a lot in a small number of people and the n distribute what’s left among as many others as we can. The p roblem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagemen t with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someo ne I once knew”.This is not, of course, to say that the Internet doesn’t serve a so cially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is n ot that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to i nclude the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relation ships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantag e. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you c an no longer see them, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that pr obably isn’t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to fa ce. The Internet will slow down the rate with which relationshipsend, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.36．The number of friends we can keep relationships with is de cided by__________.A. the InternetB. the time we haveC. the place we liveD. th e mind37．The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragrap h probably means “__________”.A. appointmentB. connectionC. interviewD. agreement 38．The author holds the view that___________.A. the Internet helps to keep in touch with friends far awayB. the Internet determines the quality of social relationshipsC. the Internet greatly increases the size of social circlesD. the Internet is of no value in social communication 39．What will the author encourage us to do?A. To keep in touch with old friends when we have moved away .B. To chat with friends often on the Internet.C. To make more new friends face to face.D. To stop using the Internet to make new friends.40．What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the Interne t to strengthen relationships?A. He thinks it uselessB. He is hopeful of it.C. He approves of it.D. He doubts it.A woman named Emily renewing her driver’s license at the ’s o ffice was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertai n how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation…‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was ob viously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sou nding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my state ment was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doe sn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indo ors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often wor k 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challen ging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction r ather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assis tants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month ol d baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.41．What can we infer from the conversation between the wom an and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The recorder was impatient and rude.B. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by s ociety.42．How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told h er occupation?A. curiousB. indifferentC. puzzledD. interested43．Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author ?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she thought the author did admirable work.C. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of .44．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings tow ard it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a greater job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.To help make the most of your experience at Auckland Zoo we suggest:Plan Your Day:Plan your day to learn more about your favorite zoo animals.

It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matte r how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Po st in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “y ou’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I shoul d start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no , she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain work man’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a s uccessful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s peo ple for true life and love.48．Why did the boy start his job young?A．He wanted to be famous in the future B．The job was quite easy for him.C．His mother had high hopes for him.

Parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likel y to talk to their children while the babies’ heart rates fell and th ey were twice as likely to fall asleep，showing that they were feeling relaxed and safe.In addition，only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.“Our data(数据) suggests that for many babies today，life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressf ul. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults，” said Dr Suzann e Zeedyk，Developmental Psychologist at Scotland’s Dundee University w ho carried out the research.The study，which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its “T alk To Your Baby” campaign，found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayf acing buggies.Zeedyk said it would have a negative effect on babies’ develop ment if they spent a long time in awayfacing buggies，which would be bad to their ability to communicate with their pa rent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust，a social mobility charity which funded the research，said buggy manufacturers(制造商) should look closely at the findings.53．Using awayfacing buggies may________.A．benefit both the babies and their parentsB．affect babies’ language ability permanentlyC．help babies communicate with their parentsD．have positive effect on babies’ development54．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Best for Kids to Face Parents in BuggyB．Best for Kids to Communicate with ParentsC．Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious AdultsD．Buggy Manufacturers Care about the FindingThe weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks coolmay not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy dri nks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your healt h. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks h ave lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes s ay their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awa ke. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your h eart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Comm ittee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have s omething to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even c ause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be di scouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. 56．Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the foll owing EXCEPT that ______.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health57．The main reason for people not to drink too much energy d rinks is that they may cause ______.A. heart problemsB. nervousnessC. sleeping difficultyD. possible health dangers58．The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替换) with ______.A. encouragedB. stoppedC. helpedD. disliked 59．From the passage we can know that ______.A.advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinksB.energy drinks are helpful to teenagers’ studyC.sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinksD.energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagers60．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ______A.

That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficu lty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relation ships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the Internet tries to put yo u in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.The problem is twofold（双重的）. First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quali ty of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest in then. We invest a lot in a s mall number of people and then distribute what’s left among as many others as we can. The pro blem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.This is not, of course, to say that the Internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of cour se it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to in clude the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends go ing even though you have to move to the other side of the world.In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in you r old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you aren’t using your time t o make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your ti me. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face . The Internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happeni ng eventually.36．The number of friends we can keep relationships with is decided by__________.A. the InternetB. the time we haveC. the place we liveD. the mind37．The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “__________”.A. appointmentB. connectionC. interviewD. agreement38．The author holds the view that___________.A. the Internet helps to keep in touch with friends far awayB. the Internet determines the quality of social relationshipsC. the Internet greatly increases the size of social circlesD. the Internet is of no value in social communication39．What will the author encourage us to do?A. To keep in touch with old friends when we have moved away.B. To chat with friends often on the Internet.C. To make more new friends face to face.D. To stop using the Internet to make new friends.。

Worse still, when my mother was unable to move and my father left us. At the age of 6, I took care of my mother and my little brother. We had no money and lived in a poor area without electricity and water. I hardly went to school. To make things easier, my mon sent my brother away. I was sad and confused but didn’t ask anything. I knew it must have been difficult for my mom.About a year later, we received some good news. A family in the United States had brought my baby brother to their home as their son and they treated him very well. Weeks later, my mother died. The day my mother died, I didn’t cry because I didn’t know what death was. One of my aunts took me in. She was cruel, but I had nowhere else to go.About a year later, the Americans who had accepted my brother head about my situation and came for me. The day I left Cambodia I was eager, worried, upset, and confused. All I remember about my trip was that I felt sick for most of the 21-hour flight I felt as though the trip would never end. When I landed in the US, in the distance, I saw a strange man waving at us with a little boy next to him. I knew immediately that that boy was my brother. My new grandpa drove us home. I kept staring at my brother. He looked so clean and healthy, quite different from the last time I had seen him.I was going to be happy again. My nightmares ended because of the two wonderful people who accepted my brother and me. Even though we are not connected by blood, I knew from that first day that my new dad and mon cared about me very much. They filled up the holes in my heart.41. Her brother was sent away because ________.A. he father could not moveB. her mother was too lazyC. her brother was too naughtyD. her family life was too hard42. When the author was about to leave Cambodia, ________.A. she was happy to get away from her auntB. she was very rude to her new parentsC. she had mixed feelings about her new lifeD. she looked forward to a happier life43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author secretly wished to have a good education.B. The author didn’t understand death when her mother died.C. The author enjoyed her flight to the US.D. The author realized her brother was living a terrible life.44.

Cambodian kids lived a miserable lifeB. The author love her family very much.C. How the author’s life changed completely.D. What family means to the author.BChinese and Western eating habits are different. In China, the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or elderly people at the table taste every dish first. But in the West, everyone has his or her own plate of food.Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things you should never do during a Chinese meal.Firstly and most importantly, don’t put your chopsticks upright (垂直地) in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl full of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it appears that you want someone at the table to die.Make sure the mouth of the teapot is not facing anyone, as this is impolite. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, you should not tap on your bowl. If you are in someone’s home, it i s like insulting the cook.46. What is the difference between Chinese and Western eating habits?A. The Chinese are very polite while Westerns are not so.B. The Chinese share the dishes, while Westerners eat on their own.C. The Chinese use the chopsticks, while Westerners use the knife and fork.D. The Chinese like rice while the westerners like noodles.47. What does the third paragraph tell us?A. The reason why chopsticks shouldn’t be put upright.B. The reason why Chinese use chopsticks to eat.C. The Chinese eating habits.D. How to use chopsticks.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. It is polite to taste the dishes before the guests or the elderly.B. You can put your chopsticks wherever you want.C. The mouth of the teapot should face nobody.D. Teenagers can put their chopsticks in the rice bowl.49. The underlined word “insulting” in the last paragraph probably means “_________”.A. playing jokes onB. showing hunger toC. treating politelyD. looking down upon50. Why is it impolite to tap on your bowl when you eat in a friend’s home?A. Because it means that you don’t respect the cook.B. Because it means that somebody will die.C. Because tapping on the bowl will bring bad luck.D. Because it means that your friend is a beggar.CBuilding early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help.Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read. Many traditional children's games can be used to build reading skills.In playing this kind of game, tell your child to do like that, “Simon, point to something that starts with the letter “n”. The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, which starts with the letter. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.Tips to make a successful reader:Put books in places where the child plays. If books are easy to get, children are more likely to pick them up.Let children "read to you" by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with pictures helps children discover how words relate to pictures.Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctor's office or a small shop.Have children help you shop. Reading goods lists and looking for particular items helps build vocabulary.51 One way to make your child like reading is ________.A. build early reading skillsB. building a path with othersC. making your child reading while playingD. making your child shopping with you52. Which of the following is true?A. A good reading habit can benefit your child at school.B. Computer games help children develop reading skills.C. You should be careful about what books to read.D. Children enjoy reading poems to their parents.53. What can we learn from the passage?A. The most important thing is to make reading fun.B. Children prefer to read stories with pictures.C. Traditional games are not useful for building reading skillsD. Child would read more if books are at hand.54. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Interest is the best teacherB. Practice makes perfectC. Good methods are half doneD. Failure teacher success55. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. Teenagers.C. Educators.D. ProfessorsDPeople have always been dreaming of going to the moon. As long as the year 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. On landing there, the explorers discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. Words failed to express their surprise when they spotted so many “moon people”. The moon people felt even more surprised. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"H.G. Wells could only imagine a travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really left their footsteps on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping and so on. A solar dome（圆顶）would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development argue that building down rather that building up is good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?56. The explorers in H.G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people"__________.A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in underground citiesD. were advanced in technology57. What does the underlined word "it" (Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Discovering the moon's inner space.B. Using the earth's inner space.C. Meeting the "moon people" again.D. Travelling to outer space.58. What sort of underground systems are already in place?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.59. We can learn from the passage that________.A. H.G. Wells once went to the moon himself.B. Underground cities are more comfortable.C. The solar dome would be a part of an underground city.D. “Alice cities” are already in use.60. What would be the best title for the text?A. Underground cities of the moonB. Space Travel with H.G. Wells.C. Enjoy Living Underground.D. Building down, not up.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
