APerhaps Joe Cheng has become popular with thousands of fans and has been chased by girls and middles students. But do you know his resume(简历)?Yes. Joe Cheng, who plays the most popular boy in high school in the popular Taiwanese drama “It Started with a Kiss.”Although thousands of girls have fallen in love with him for his cute smile and strong body, Cheng, 27, doesn’t want to rest on his good looks. He made the move from modeling to acting six years ago, and now he is trying another career－thi s time, to be a singer. Cheng worked on his first album, “Joe Cheng’s Day”, for a year. It came out on September 7.Apart from recording his CD, Cheng has been practicing dance moves for his music video. Given his height, 188cm, this was not an easy job. “I had bad dreams about dancing,” he said.Cheng’s life has had many ups and downs. His parents divorced whe n he was in primary school and he has lived with his father ever since. After dropping out of high school, he took on all kinds of jobs before being spotted by a scout（星探）for a modeling agency. Cheng said his key to life is “keeping a positive outlook and making the most out of life.”Cheng admitted that he got bad grades when he was in high school. But he was still very popular at school. “Being very active in the students union, I was elected president. I liked to organize parties and field trips, so many teachers and students knew me,” he said.Cheng once dreamed of becoming a cartoonist, and he regrets that he never did it. Now he hopes his teenage fans can learn from his life. “When you are in school, just focus on studies,” Cheng said. “Every young hea rt is eager to explore the world outside. But take your time. Finish your studies first.”21. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. Finish Your Study First.B. Life Is Fullof Ups and Downs.C. He Has It All, but Still Has Regrets.D.The Key to Success.22. What career didn’t Joe Cheng try?A. Acting in some dramas.B. Dancing foran agency.C. Modeling for an agency.D. Recording hisown CDs.23. The underlined word “outlook” in Paragraph 4 means __________.A. attitudeB. sceneC. fameD.appearance24. Which of the correct order of these events?a. Joe Cheng dropped out of high school.b. Joe Cheng worked on his first album, “Joe Cheng’sDay”.c. Joe Cheng’s parents divorced.d. Joe Cheng played the most pop ular boy in “It startedwith a Kiss”.e. Joe Cheng worked in a modeling agency.A. a c e d bB. c a e b dC. c a e d bD.a c eb dBThere is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children? Or should they ever beat them?Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking（打屁股）has been falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children. But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer. Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers. It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive（反作用的）to their mental development, as well.Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks（用巴掌打）on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens whohave never been spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those wh o were sometimes spanked.There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers（脾气）. But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline(纪律，约束) without ever tur ning to physical punishment.25. According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parentswhen __________.A. they were dissatisfied with her grade.B. they cannot control their temper.C. she showed no respect for the elder.D. their discipline turns out to be not strict enough.26. According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished __________.A. are less aggressive toward others when they get olderB. may develop lower IQs than their peersC. benefit from occasional spankingD. have slower physical development27.The author seems to agree that __________.A. parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or notB. children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven'tC. physical punishment should be the last resort（手段）of any parentD. good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable wayCTowards evening, Jennifer was walking on the beach with a gentle breeze blowing through her hair. Looking up at the golden red sun ball, she was surprised by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.The atmosphere relaxed her. This was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My par ents will be wondering where I am.” She wondered how her parents would react when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself to bungalow（平房）163, where she sp ent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters, she would have been safe in her house.It was really getting dark now. She wished she had her favorite coat on. It mightkeep her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought dissipated(消散) when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now…She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen and saw a note written by her father,“Dear Ellen, there’s some coffee ready; I went looking.” But where was Ellen? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in and saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, w as sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up, but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up something was different. She wa sn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas(睡衣).It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice. “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very sca red.”28. The author mentions the views of the beach in Para. 1 in order to __________.A. tell us the time of the storyB. show Jennifer’s eased mindC. show Jennifer’s lonelinessD. indicate the beauty of nature29. Jennifer decided to go home because __________.A. it was getting coldB. she realized her parents were worriedC. she began to miss her parentsD. she knew nobody would take care of the garden30. What can we infer from the passage?A. Jennifer went home to fetch her favorite coat.B. Jennifer’s father was so worried that he couldn’t take care of the outside garden.C. Jennifer understood why the outside garden was left uncared for.D. Jennifer’s father used to be too strict with her.31. Which of the following shows the change of Jennifer’s feeling?A. Relaxed→Lonely→Tired→Upset.B. Angry→Relaxed→Fearful→Comfortable.C. Fearful→Relaxed→Cheerful→Lonely.D. Relaxed→Anxious→Shocked→Comfortable.DFor centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jun g, once a student of Freud' s. Jung, however, believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from UCSC (the University of California, Santa Cruz), believes that dreaming is a mental (精神的) skill that needs time to develop. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults.Another psychologist Adam Schneider, also from UCSC, has found that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men’s dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on is this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place.32. Before the 1900s, ______.A. people considered dreams meaninglessB. there were no scientific studies of dreamsC. psychologists had no idea about dreamsD. dreams were thought to happen only at night33. We can infer from Carl Jung’s research that _______.A. he disagreed with Freud’s idea about dreamsB. dreams are an expression of a person’s wishesC. he proved that Freud’s idea about dreams was trueD. how people think of themselves is affected by their dreams34. Who found a connection between dreams and age?A. Carl JungB. Adam SchneiderC. Sigmund FreudD. William Domhoff35. What’s the best title for the text?A. What’s Dream?B. Are Dreams Real?C. Famous Dream PsychologistsD. Dreams’ Influences on People’sLife第二节七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers（广告商）, readers, market value and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago .The chief editor（主编）of the times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors a sk one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came.”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET”.Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock（股票）drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock .The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education, and its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.21. What can we learn about the New England Courant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.D. It comes articles by political leaders.22. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers' suggestions.B. They care a lot about each other's health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.23. Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. The Washington PostB. The GuardianC. The New York Times.D. New England Courant24. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?A. SatisfiedB. HopefulC. WorriedD. SurprisedBThroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.25. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A. It will not be found in future works of art.B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D. It is lacking in modern works of art.26.

They are considered important for variety in form.D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.27. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A. History of the arts.B.

Use of modern technology in the arts.CMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠)at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding(打滑)on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly, ”Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and I dared not open the windows because I knew water would come floodi ng in. ”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot.

Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. ”His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours. ”Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night.
