They are on TV and the 1 , in newspapers and magazines, and on buses and buildings. Companies 2 their products(产品) to film stars and sports stars to 3 , so fans of them will buy them too. Advertisements have become so common(常见的) that they aren’t 4 any more. We don’t like them, so we try not to see them. We turn 5 the advertisements on our computers. We don’t want to watch them onTV or read them in magazines. Sometimes we don’t copy the stars 6 we know maybe they don’t really like the things they advertise. This means the companies need a new 7to sell their products. Especially(尤其是), they should make their products “cool”, or youngpeople won’t buy them. More and more teenagers want to be 8 from others. For example, teenagers won’t dress like everyone else. They want to look special and create(创造) their own styles. So, some companies use teenagers instead of using stars. They 9 them to tell their friends about the new products. 10 don’t think it is cool to copy the stars or buy the things they have seen in the advertisements.

Teenagers三、阅读理解 (本大题共10分，每小题1分)( A )We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms(只取首字母的缩写词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are:BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back) LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion).People also use many abbreviations(缩写词). Some common abbreviations are:info (information) puter (computer) pic (picture) sec (second)We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feelings”, such as: :-) (happy) :P) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)These days, many forums(论坛) have picture feelings. For example:happy sad angry coolThere are even whole new words, like “newbies”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it’s called “flaming” the person. It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.1. Why do people type acr onyms?A. To show their feelings.B. To make jokes.C. Because people can type them quickly.D. In this way newbies won’t understand them.2. What does “BTW, my puter is not working well.:-(”mean?A. The person is happy about getting a new computer.B. The person has to go away from their computer.C. The person is angry at somebody.D. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.3. If someone is angry, what may he type?A. B. C. LOL D. BRB4. E- talk will probably _________.A. keep changingB. stay the sameC. be used by people on the telephoneD. be easy for newbies to understand5. What’s the best title for this passage?A. E-talk LanguageB. Picture FeelingsC. How to Use AbbreviationsD. How to Use Acronyms( B )Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to buy anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high place in the government is happiness, because they think they can make more money and more people will respect(尊敬) them or even it can bring many other things. But we say happiness comes from ourselves.Here are the ways to keep ourselves happy.The secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple(简单的) things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into higher school or getting a job that we don’t enjoy the present. We should enjoy the life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music or spending time with close friends.To be happy, we should also be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Moreover, many people find happiness in helping others. They will feel happy when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for others. If you want to feel happier, you can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbour, or simply h elp around the house. That is“Giving is happiness.”Now maybe you know how to find happiness.6. Which of the following words has the same meaning as “wealthy”?A. pleasedB. richC. excitedD. healthy7. How many ways to keep ourselves happy does the writer show us in this passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.8. If a person holds a high place in the government, what does he think he can do?A. He thinks he can do anything.B. He thinks he can be more respected.C. He thinks he will be the richest.D. He thinks he need worry about nothing.9. According to this passage, which of the following things is not simply happy?A. Worrying about the future.B. Reading a good book.C. Staying with the close friends.D. Listening to one’s favorite songs.10. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. How to save happiness by living simply.B. Happiness and money are the most important things.C. We should help more people to make ourselves happier.D. How to find happiness in our life.四、任务型阅读根据短文完成所缺信息，每空限填一词。
