It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday. My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year.For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend s chool were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children.For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free.Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods.The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself.I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms.At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one.1．The author’s children are ________ to go to school.A. eagerB. afraidC. unwillingD. surprised2．The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________.A. fantasyB. dream worldC. prisonD. terrible situation3．Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________.A. the terrible education systemB. security problems andpovertyC. parents’ distrust in schoolsD. the government’sinability4．As a parent, the author ________.A. is u nable to afford his kids’ schoolingB. is unwilling to send hiskids to schoolC. hopes his kids have a happy school lifeD. complains schooleducation costs too muchBAn epidemic (流行病) of the use of street-culture language broke out in someEnglish exams, according to examiners.A report said there were “a surprising number of small mistakes” in standard(标准) English. It asked teachers that they should prevent pupils from using "streetlanguage and text style", adding, “Most answers require formal ex pression oflanguage.”“Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearingin the work of clearly able students,” the report continued.It added that the use of street and text language “appeared with surprisinglyregularity in the work of students who clearly desired a higher grade”.“Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style isappropriate--students should know the examination context and, in particular,should not use street language and text st yle.” it said.There is rising concern about pupils’ writing skills, especially among boys.National test results for 11-year-old boys’ writing standards had fallen this year.Only 55 percent reached the level expected of an 1l-year-old by the time they leftprimary school, the results showed.Many educationalists are now arguing that teachers should also think of waysof improving writing standards.The report said spelling was “in general inconsistent(不一致)” and “varietyof vocabulary and of sentence structure is often limited”. It went on, “Punctuation(标点符号) errors continue to be widespread.”However, it added, “Some examiners felt that this year they had met animprovement in the whole structure of students' writing.”1.

The Chinese New Year celebrations mean many f ancy meals that your child will 7 .3.Create a lantern. Sara Naumann, the Guide to China Travel, shares a bit about the legend of the Lantern Festival or Yuanxia o, which occurs on the 8 day of the Chinese New Year festiviti es. It's a 9 that includes an emperor, a young woman who mis ses her family, and tricking the God of Fire. Your kids should lo ve this story. After 10 it with them, or while reading the story, enjoy making your own paper lantern to display.4.Give lucky money. The Guide to Mandarin Language shares t hat another very popular 11 during the Chinese New Year is t hat of the gift of red envelopes with 12 in them. These gifts ar e given to children and usually follow a bit of superstition（迷信） in that the money needs to be given in even amounts and never contain 13 numbers, such as four. Therefore, four dolla rs is not a good gift. The envelopes are also decorated with luck y symbols and New Year 14 .5.Give a small gift.

Consider setting o ff a few firecrackers of your own, if allowed in your area. If not, make a cute firework picture with a bit of glitter and glue. A pret end firecracker is another great craft that could also be consider ed a festive way to decorate your New Year table.7.Sing Happy Birthday to your dog. The second day of the Chin ese New Year is 19 the birthday of all dogs. Why not 20 your child to throw Fido a birthday celebration? Perhaps an extra ri de in the car or new chew toy is in order?

Ideally, therefore, the choiceof an __16__ should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school.

The "one perfect job" does not exist. Y oung people should __20__ enter into a broad flexible training program that will __21__ them for a field of work rather than for a single __22__ .Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans __23__ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist.

Then he continued to say, ―I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.‖ Suddenly he crumpled （揉）it into a round mass. Then he asked, ―Who wants it? ‖ Still some hands were lifted up.He asked again, ―Well, how could it be if I do it like this?‖ he threw the bill onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled.―Who still wants it?‖ Still a few people put up their hands.―My dear friends, you have had a meaningf ul class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down（击垮）or even broken into pieces by your determination or unfavorable situations. We may feel ourselves worth nothing, but, my darling, remember that whatever happens in the future, you should never lose your value（价值）in the God’s heart. Y ou’re particu lar ---- never forget it.‖36．How many times did the speaker ask the people whether they wanted the bill?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Three timesD. Four times 37．The underlined word ―wrinkled‖ in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. brokenB. having small lines or folds in itC. flatD. having holes on it 38．The speaker did this test in order to _____________.A. tell the audience that one should never lose one’s own valueB. tell the audience that God values money mostC. test if some of the audience were extremely interested in moneyD. play a trick on the audience39．What would the speaker probably talk about next?A. How money can make people crazy.B. How to avoid being knocked down in one’s life.C. How to keep one’s value of life.D. How to give a meaningful classBWe might like to think we're not influenced by other people, but a new study into the group-buying mechanisms（机制）- like those used on coupon（优惠券）sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial - reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers.Researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management wanted tounderstand why group buying sites that have entered the market recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago, such as Mercata and MobShop.Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for.―We think one of the reasons group-buying has been successful recently is because of the short time horizon,‖ says Rotman Professor Ming Hu, who co-wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu. ―It allows for a herding effect.‖Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how many have already signed onto the deal.Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy: a simultaneous mechanism, where no one knows how many buyers have come before them, and a sequential（连续的）mechanism, where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowing the size of the first group.The researchers' analytical（分析的）model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal, and improves the confidence of those who sign on early, as they're able to track the numbers of those who come after them.―That boosts confidence,‖ says Professor Hu, who teaches operations management. Deals for "luxury" services, versus everyday items, work better in a group buy scenario（方案）because they offer consumers a greater benefit.40．It can be learned from the text that ______.A. the short time horizon is the reason why group-buying has been successful.B. a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up.C. a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers.D. researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully, such as Mercata and MobShop.41．The underlined word ―eliminates‖ in paragraph 7 probably means―______‖.A. to become or to make something greater in amount, number, valueB. to remove or get rid of somethingC. to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or consideringD. to make something known to somebody42．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Secret for marketing success – boosting confidence.B. Secret for group-buying mechanism—herding effect.C. Comparison between a simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism.D. What others do influences our decisions.COK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符号) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast (抨击) the use of emoticons as ―infantile (幼稚的) just like the people who use them‖ He believes that words themselves should be enough. ―If you’re being funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent (明显的) from the comment that goes before the emoticon,‖ he argues.In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. ―Men don’t use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all,‖ he said. ―Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’ s an emoticon gene.‖It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.In an interview with The New Y ork Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed ―to seek out representations of humanity‖. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.All of these arguments may be somehow valid (正确的). Each one of u s will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I’d rather let my words do the talking.Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this. I don’t regard any of my friends as lazy or immature (不成熟的). It’s just a question of individuality. :)43．According to the article, emoticons are popular because ______.A. most of them look funnyB. they are easy for lazy people to useC. they add feeling and character to a communicationD. a reader cannot understand a message without them44．Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with?A. Instant Message chatters are childish.B. It’s enough to use language in digital communication.C. Men never use emoticons.D. There is an emoticon gene in everybody.45．From the text, we can conclude that the author ______.A. feels he has no difficulty using emoticonsB. thinks emoticons don’t suit himC. encourage his friends to use emoticonsD. believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone46．What is the main point of the article?A. Advice on language used o ver the Internet.B. The history of emoticons.C. Arguments over the use of emoticons.D. Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.DSmoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about effect of smoking on the health not only of those who smoke but also those who do not smoke. In fact, non-smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students are trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. Believe they are completely rig ht in their aim. However, I think it more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others. Smoking is not allowed in theaters, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classroom. Although many people have passed away for having smoked a lot and we call on people to give up smoking, yet many more that are following will turn down what we say every day, above all, the young people smoke a lot more.47．In the writer’s opinion, smoking does good to ________.A. nobodyB. some peopleC. smokersD. young people48．The phrase ―pass away‖ probably means ________.A. leave one’s homeB. lose one’s lifeC. pass byD. go away49．According to the selection, which of the following is true?A. Smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the non-smokers.B. Non-smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the smokers.C. Non-smokers suffer as much from the polluted air as the smokers.D. Non-smokers don’t suffer so much from the polluted air as the smokers.第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Then he continued to say, “I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.” Suddenly he crumpled （揉）it into a round mass. Then he a sked, “Who wants it? ” Still some hands were lifted up.He asked again, “Well, how could it be if I do it like this?” he threw the bill onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled.“Who still wants it?” Still a few people put up their hands.“My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down（击垮）or even broken into pieces by your determination or unfavorable situations. We may feel ourselves worth nothing, but, my darling, remember that whatever happens in the future, you should never lose your value（价值）in the God’s heart. You’re particular ---- never forget it.”36．How many times did the speaker ask the people whether they wanted the bill?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Three timesD. Four times37．The underlined word “wrinkled” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. brokenB. having small lines or folds in itC. flatD. having holes on it 38．The speaker did this test in order to _____________.A. tell the audience that one should never lose one’s own valueB. tell the audience that God values money mostC. test if some of the audience were extremely interested in moneyD. play a trick on the audience39．What would the speaker probably talk about next?A.

How to give a meaningful classBWe might like to think we're not influenced by other people, but a new study into the group-buying mechanisms（机制）- like those used on coupon（优惠券）sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial - reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers.Researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management wanted to understand why group buying sites that have entered the market recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago, such as Mercata and MobShop.Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for.“We think one of the reasons group-buying has been successful recently is because of the short time horizon,” says Rotman Professor Ming Hu, who co-wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu. “It allows for a herding effect.”Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how many have already signed onto the deal.Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy: a simultaneous mechanism, where no one knows how many buyers have come before them, and a sequential（连续的）mechanism, where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowing the size of the first group.The researchers' analytical（分析的）model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal, and improves the confidence of those who sign on early, as they're able to track the numbers of those who come after them.“That boosts confidence,” says Professor Hu, who teache s operations management. Deals for "luxury" services, versus everyday items, work better in a group buy scenario（方案）because they offer consumers a greater benefit.40．It can be learned from the text that ______.A. the short time horizon is the reason why group-buying has been successful.B. a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up.C. a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers.D. researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully, such as Mercata and MobShop.41．The underlined word “eliminates” in paragraph 7 probably means“______”.A. to become or to make something greater in amount, number, valueB. to remove or get rid of somethingC. to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or consideringD. to make something known to somebody42．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Secret for marketing success – boosting confidence.B. Secret for group-buying mechanism—herding effect.C. Comparison between a simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism.D. What others do influences our decisions.COK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符号) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast (抨击) the use of emoticons as “infantile (幼稚的) just like the people who use them” He believes that words th emselves should be enough. “If you’re being funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent (明显的) from the comment that goes before the emoticon,” he argues.In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men don’t use emoticons very mu ch. Maybe not at all,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’ s an emoticon gene.”It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcutsfor the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.All of these arguments may be somehow valid (正确的). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and f elt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I’d rather let my words do the talking.Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this. I don’t regard any of my friends as laz y or immature (不成熟的). It’s just a question of individuality. :)43．According to the article, emoticons are popular because ______.A. most of them look funnyB. they are easy for lazy people to useC. they add feeling and character to a communicationD. a reader cannot understand a message without them44．Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with?A. Instant Message chatters are childish.B. It’s enough to use language in digital communication.C. Men never use emoticons.D. There is an emoticon gene in everybody.45．From the text, we can conclude that the author ______.A. feels he has no difficulty using emoticonsB. thinks emoticons don’t suit himC. encourage his friends to use emoticonsD. believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone46．What is the main point of the article?A. Advice on language used o ver the Internet.B. The history of emoticons.C. Arguments over the use of emoticons.D. Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.DSmoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about effect of smoking on the health not only of those who smoke but also those who do not smoke. In fact, non-smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students are trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. Believe they are completely right in their aim. However, I think it more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others. Smoking is not allowed in theaters, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classroom. Although many people have passed away for having smoked a lot and we call on people to give up smoking, yet many more that are following will turn down what we say every day, above all, the young people smoke a lot more.47．In the writer’s opinion, smoking does good to ________.A. nobodyB. some peopleC. smokersD. young people48．The phrase “pass away” probably means ________.A. leave one’s homeB. lose one’s lifeC. pass byD. go away 49．According to the selection, which of the following is true?A. Smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the non-smokers.B. Non-smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the smokers.C. Non-smokers suffer as much from the polluted air as the smokers.D. Non-smokers don’t suffer so much from the polluted air as the smokers.第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
