“blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet website called a “blog”. The
word “blog” is a short way of saying “web log”, or “personal website”. Anyone
can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There
are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and
ideas to the people who read them. They contain links to other websites. And
they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of
others.
A research company called Perseus
has studied more than 3,000 web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with
teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in
their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking
part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop
serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican
and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs.
And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some
long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed
his free blog service “weblogs.com”. He said the site became too costly to
continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had
written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was
closed.
One blog that is still going
strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the website in 1999,.
She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book
called The Weblog Handbook. It has been translated into four languages so far.
Miss Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket
get about thirty thousand visitors a month. She writes about anything and
everything ―― politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical
advice. And she wrote about how to prevent being stolen from online bank
accounts.
56. The text is mainly written to _______.
A. introduce an Internet website
called “blog”
B. introduce a short way of saying
“web log”
C. tell readers about blogs
D. tell readers how to write blogs
57. From the text we can learn that blogs
cover almost everything except _______.
A. different ideas B.
medical advice
C. advertisements D.
account passwords
58. Which of the following statements is NOT
true according to the text?
A. Politicians don’t use blogs at
all.
B. A lot of bloggers no longer
write or read blogs.
C. Those who like to use blogs are
mostly teenage girls.
D. Dave Winer closed his “weblogs.com”
because of the money shortage.
59. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still
going strong is that _______.
A. it was created by a woman
B. it is about the history of
blogs
C. it provides useful information
and advice
D. it has editions in at least

Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If
shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in
self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions
from doctors and psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in
conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people
say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in
groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas,
experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about
what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a
group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember,
you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are
making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely,
but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit
that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they
can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness
can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give
other people a chance to know more about you.

It is December thirty-first, 2007, the
time when the old year dies and the New Year is born.
Many Americans have parties at
home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout
and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at
midnight. They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with. They
dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home .They drink Champagne at midnight to
welcome the New Year.
Some people drink too much alcohol
at New Year’s Eve celebrations .This can lead to tragic results if a person
drinks too much and then drives a car. The National Safety Council says
hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday.
In recent years ,the danger of
accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the “designated driver” One
person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year’s
Eve celebrations. Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people
home. Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year’s Eve to
take people home safely.
Other Americans observe the coming
of the New Year at events without alcohol .More than 220 American cities hold
these First Night celebrations. Artists in BostonMassachusetts
started the tradition of First Night celebrations. In 1976.They wanted to
observe the coming of a New Year. But they did not want to hold noisy drinking
parties. So they organized music concerts, art exhibitions and other events to
observe the holiday.

Dear friends,
As
we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it’s very important for us to form
healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students.
Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some
others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All
these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To
keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper
amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we’d
better have meals at a regular time and proper amount. If we get into good
habits of eating meals, it will benefit us a lot. In addition, good eating habits
can protect us from all kinds of illnesses.
In
my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong
body. After all, health is the most important in our life. Only in this way can
we have enough energy to study better.
I never know how well Mother could keep a
trust until I was going through her things after she died. I discovered
something I had 36 forgotten, something that happened to me
as a child.
One night, as I lay in bed 37 my sister and I had said our
prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 38 I had behaved towards Mother. “I must
make things right before going to sleep,” I thought.
Quickly I 39
out of bed and picked up a pencil and paper, then tiptoed into the
hall. The 40 from the living room shone dimly. I
knew Mother was downstairs mending socks.
I quickly 41 a note asking Mother to forgive
me for being so 42 . I didn’t want my brothers and
sisters to know our
43 so I added a
postscript: “Please don’t let anyone see this.” Then I quietly moved 44 my parents’ bedroom and put the
letter under Mother’s pillow.
The next morning, when I 45 my bed after breakfast, I
unexpectedly46 a note under my pillow. Mother
wrote that she loved me and 47 me.
This became my 48 of apologizing whenever I
talked back or disobeyed. Mother always left a note, but she never 49
our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we
were 50 , she never mentioned them when we
brothers and sister recalled our childhood.
When Mother 51
, I had to go through her personal belongings. In her desk was a
bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon (布條). On top was a message in her
handwriting. It read, “In the event of my death, please 52 these.”
I 53 the packet and glanced at the
handwriting on the bottom. To my surprise, I 54 my childish writing, “P.S. Please
don’t let anyone see this. Love, Edie.”
I gently placed the unopened
bundle in the 55 along with other things for the rubbish
burner. “Lord,” I prayed, “make me like my mother.”

Two students started quarreling at school.
One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight (打架) began.
What can be done to stop fights
like this at school? In some schools, the disputants (爭執(zhí)者) sit down with peer mediators.
Peer mediators are students with special training (訓(xùn)練) in this kind of problems.
Peer mediators help the disputants
to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use:
1．Put what you think clearly but
don’t say anything to hurt the other. Begin with “I feel…” instead of “You
always…”
2．Listen carefully to what the other
person is saying. Don’t stop the other person’s words.
3．Keep looking at the other person’s
eyes when he or she talks.
4．Try to see the other person’s side
of the problem.
5．Never put anyone down. Saying
things like “You are foolish (愚蠢)” makes the talk difficult.
6．Try to find a result that makes
both people happy.
Peer mediators never decide the result or the
winner. They don’t decide who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they help
the two students to find their own “win-win” result. A “win-win” result can
make everyone feel good.
Peer mediators’ work is often successful just
because it gets people to talk to each other. And getting people to talk to
each other is the first step in finding a “win-win” result.
64．What can be done when there is a
fight at school?
A．The peer mediators and the
disputants talk together.
B．The peer mediators decide the
winner.
C．The students themselves decide who
is the winner.
D．The two students sit down and
listen to the peer mediators.
65．Peer
mediators’ work is _____.
A．to give lessons to disputants
B．to help find a way to make both
sides happy
C．to find out who starts a quarrel
D．to give students some special
training
66．What should you do when the other
person is speaking?
A．Try to tell him or her what you
think.
B．Think who is right and who is
wrong.
C．Listen carefully and look at his
or her eyes all the time.
D．Ask the peer mediators as many
questions as possible.
67．During the talk, if you say “You are
lazy” or “I feel angry”, _____.
A．the other person will know he or
she is wrong
B．the other person will understand
you better
C．it’s easy for you to decide who is
right
D．it’s hard for you to get a
“win-win” result

Nearly all the visitors to southeast France pay a visit a Monaco, too. Lying near the
French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate
principality (大公國)―though it is surrounded by its great neighbour.
Monaco became a
principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a
certain Italian king. The French and Italian, however, soon came to protect it
one after another until 1861, when it became its own master again.
Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two
cities, Monaco, where the palace for the Prince stands, and Monte Carlo, which
is a wonderful place for visitors. Every year, about half a million people come
to Monaco,
nearly 25 tiroes as much as its population.
Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen
of its own. Law and order is kept by the French police, and the French stand
for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is the
franc, too.
68．Which of the following maps shows
the right position of Monaco
and its neighbouring countries? (Mc=Monaco, Fr==France,
I=Italy, Md=Mediterranean)
69．Monaco has a population of ____.
A．nearly 25 thousand
B．no more than 20 thousand
C．a(chǎn)bout 12,500 thousand D．a(chǎn) little over 20 thousand
70．Which of the
following is TRUE?
A．The national income of Monaco must be
very little.
B．Monaco isn’t a completely independent
country.
C．A principality is a country ruled
by foreigners.
D．Monaco belongs to France since
law and order is kept by the French police.
71．Now the head of the government of Monaco is ____.
A．a(chǎn)n Italian B．a(chǎn) French C．a(chǎn) prince D．a(chǎn) president

Have you ever been frustrated (沮喪的) when left talking to yourself
after your mobile phone battery runs out in the middle of a call?
If yes, then here comes some good news.
Scientists are now perfecting a way to recharge (充電) electrical equipment while on
the move.
Researchers from the Netherlands, France and
Portugal announced last week that they have developed very thin solar panels (太陽能板) that can be put on clothes. They
can also be added to furniture and rooftops. They change light from the sun
into electricity.
In about three years, you'll be able to wear
a jacket that will recharge your phone as you walk. For camping fans, the
development could lead to a tent which charges batteries all day so you can
have light or music at night.
The basic technology of wearable solar panels
is the same as that used for conventional (傳統(tǒng)的) solar panels. Pairs of sheets of
semi-conducting silicon (半導(dǎo)體硅) are linked together to form the
panel.
But scientists made them much thinner by
using different silicon. At one micro-metre, they are
the same thickness as photographic film.
"This technology will make it easier for
people to use clean energy sources," said Gerrit
Kroesen, a physicist in the Netherlands who
led the team of scientists.
But the thin panels are not as efficient as
the thicker ones. While some solar panels now operate at an efficiency of about
20 per cent, the new flexible (柔韌的) panels are only 7 per cent
efficient. But the scientists believe that this is worth accepting for a
stronger and more useful panel.
But the thinner panel is cheaper. An A4 sized
panel put onto the back of a jacket costs less than US$13. It could charge a cellphone during a summer walk in the countryside. As long
as you stay within range of the transmitting masts (發(fā)射天線) that relay a call to the
networks, phones will never again run out of power.
72．What is the meaning of the phrase
"on the move" in paragraph 2?
A．Taking a course of action.
B．Going from one place to another.
C．Changing clothes before
moving.
D．Changing the mobile phone battery.
73．What is the passage mainly about?
A．A way to recharge electrical
equipment.
B．A new kind of
chargeable battery.
C．A new type of mobile phone.
D．A use of mobile phones.
74．What is the most important in the
development of the technology?
A．Photographic film. B．Warmer clothes.
C．Furniture and rooftops. D．Thin flexible solar panels.
75．What is NOT likely to happen in
the future?
A．You can listen to music in a
campsite using the electricity from sunshine.
B．Your mobile phone battery runs out
in the middle of a call.
C．You wear a jacket that will
recharge your phone.
D．You can change light from the sun
into electricity.

When I was
watching TV, Sarah ran in and dropped something that nearly made me jump up. It
was a snake 36 .
Finding it 37 me, my seven- year- old daughter
asked, "Isn't it beautiful? I've never seen it before." I 38 the snake skin and thought it
was 39 not beautiful, but I knew that
things children 40 for the first time would influence
how they 41 the world. I decided to give a 42 to my daughter. 43 I nodded my head.
"Why does
it do this?" Sarah
44 , before I said a word.
"Snakes 45 off their skins because they need
to 46 " I explained. However,
Sarah's 47 always ended up with another.
"Must they do so?" She
48 great interest. "Because
the skins are snakes' clothes. As they grow, they become bigger so their skins
become smaller. Thus they no longer feel as 49 in the skins as they once did. So
they need new skins. Just like you need some new dresses every several
months."
Seeing my
daughter was 50 , I decided to teach her more. I
continued, "Sarah, in fact we human beings have 51 in common with snakes. In our
lives, we need to throw away something 52 , and if it is in the way, we should
move it 53 . Then we can move on. Everyone needs to
do this."
I knew this
explanation wasn’t 54 enough, but I just wanted my
daughter to know what she should know. Luckily, Sarah got the 55 . "I see, Dad. I'm a big girl
now. So I should study more instead of playing more. Is it?" I smiled.
"I'll tell this to Ben." Sarah took the snake skin, rushing out to
show it to her brother.

QINGDAO, China,
Sept. 29, 2008 /
Xinhua - PRNewswire/-- Haier, the world's fourth largest white goods
manufacturer, closed with success its sponsorship (贊助) of the Beijing 2008 Olympic
and Paralympic Games, and is on track to reach its goal of becoming a truly
global brand.
As the official
white goods sponsor of the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Haler
combined the enthusiasm for the Olympic Spirit with its global branding strategy
to expedite (巨大的) its globalization process. According to a survey conducted by
IPSOS in August 2008, 90% of respondents recognized Haier is a global company
among all the sponsors. This is a 47% increase from 43% of respondents in the
same period one year ago.
The Olympic
Games platform also offered Haier the opportunity to strengthen its
relationship with distributors (分發(fā)者) globally. Haier's top clients (客戶)
expressed overwhelming pleasure with its hospitality (盛情) program during the Olympic Games, showing great confidence in Haier's
future. This confidence translated into real business value: in the first eight
months of 2008, Haier's turnover (營業(yè)額) overseas
increased 26% more than compared with the same period in 2007.
In support of
the "Green Olympics," Haier actively worked to reduce the
environmental footprint of the Olympic Games by providing over 60,000
environmentally - friendly and energy - efficient products to all the Olympic
venues (體育館)
in Beijing and co-host cities. This provision demonstrates the
"green" quality of Haier's products and the company's commitment to a sustainable
future, which has been recognized by Greenpeace. The United Nations Environment
Program (UNEP) praised the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the
XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), the City of Beijing,
and the co- host Cities for its environmental actions. Haler will carry on the
"Green Olympics" legacy and introduce more "green" products
to the glob al market.
Mr. ZHANG
Ruimin, Chairman! and CEO of Haier, said: "Haier's objective is to become
a global brand; the fact that Haier already started its. globalization process
gave us the strength to sponsor the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games provided
us with a great platform to showcase the quality of our products to the world.
The Games have boosted our globalization process by linking Haier to the
Olympic Rings and Spirit."
Haier raised-its
profile (形象)
globally through a series of activities during the Olympics. Haier will fulfill
its "One Gold Medal, One Olympic Hope School" program where 51
schools will be built throughout rural China to help more than 30,000
disadvantaged children finish school. Over 82,000 Chinese and international

It was reported
today that in China,
50 % of people who write blogs do so as a personal diary and 83 % use their
blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong
East-West difference. In places like the US,
blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China,
blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that
bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their
ordinary feelings and media bloggers.
When blogging
first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance
to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people read their blogs.
The next wave of
bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal
daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists
and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday blogs lost
most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to
communicate well through the written word.
However, the
normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging
is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is
listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
64. What type of text is this?
A. A biog. B. A
diary. C. A
news report. D. A school textbook.
65. What is the text's subject?
A. How many people in China
biog.
B. How did blogging get started.
C. Different types of
blogs and bloggers.
D. What media bloggers do.
66. How does the writer feel about the subject?
A. He/She feels
strongly that blogging is a good thing.
B. He/She feels that
there are lots of problems with blogging.
C. We can't tell since
he/she is not a blogger.
D. We can't tell since
he/she is just reporting facts.
67. What is the writer's tone?
A. Humorous and light
- hearted.
B. Serious and factual.
C.
Conversational.
D. Informal.

Parsley (西芹) is an ancient green, rich in vitamins and nutrients. But many
times on dinner table, its job is just to decorate the plates. Then after
dinner it is thrown away as the taste is a little strong for many people.
Curly parsley is often
planted just for its appearance. Many gardeners grow it as a border for
flowerbeds. Flat-leaf parsley is easier to work with for cooking. This kind is
often called Italian or French parsley. Hamburg
parsley has flat leaves that can be used for decorations. But Hamburg parsley has a large root which is
used as a vegetable -- for example, to add flavor
to soups. Some people like soups with Hamburg
parsley, for they are more delicious.
Parsley can
often be found in food such as a traditional Lebanese salad. And it is often
served with lamb, fish and beef dishes. Parsley is an herb (草本植物) if you use just the greens.
Some gardeners
suggest that you should plant new seeds every year to get the best tasting parsley.
You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave
the seeds in the water overnight, and you can grow them in boxes indoors or
plant them outside. Parsley grows best when temperatures are about 21℃, in
sunny places: The seeds need rich, wet soil. Water them regularly during the first
month. After that, parsley does not need very much water.
For harvest, you
can cut most of it from the ground. To dry parsley, tie it together and hang it
in a warm, dark, airy place.
68. Parsley is often thrown away after being used for
a decoration because
______.
A. it becomes dirty
B. it loses its nutrients
C. many people don't like its taste D. it will do
harm to people's health
69. Which parsley is not only considered as an herb
but also a vegetable?
A. Curly parsley.
B. Italian parsley. C.
French parsley. D. Hamburg parsley.
70. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. how to keep parsley
B. how to grow parsley better
C. how to make parsley grow faster D. how often to wash parsley
71. The underlined word "flavor" in the
second paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. color B.
amount
C. taste
D. interest

The Pathfinder
When we found
him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we
reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his
feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.
After we got him
out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed
that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road.
His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars
going by or see the lights at night.
We found him
just in time.
This man, like
others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What
had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, had he
made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway, or off a known
path.
Whatever sense
of direction that a man may have, it's still largely a question of observation.
A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes that the
shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a
tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he may be turned around many
times, but he is seldom lost.
There are
exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem
that puts him into the "lost" situation. A rainstorm or sudden
blizzard (暴風(fēng)雪)
may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough
area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this
happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result
of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the
inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn't show up. This
false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way
against all difficulties.
The person who
thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He'11 be safe if he observes carefully,
thinks ahead, and remains calm.
72. The
author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have ______.
A. been shot by a gun
B. become confused
C. been attacked by wild
animals
D. been in great danger
73.
According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very
beginning, he would ______.
A. worry about being laughed
at
B. push himself to find his
way out
C. feel it is convenient to
ask for help from his friends
D. be concerned about being
frightened by wild animals
74. When
a person tries to find his way in the woods,
is the most important.
A. intelligence
B. observation C. direction D.
chance
75. The
author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who ______.
A. go into the woods by
themselves
B. don't know how to signal
for help properly
C. are frightened when they
think they are lost
D. notice everything when
stepping from the highway

My favorite sport is
football. I was a member of
our school football team.
We practice for three times
every week and often watch
football match on TV
together. Play football not
only makes us grow up
tall and strong but also
give us a sense of fair play and
team spirit. We must keep
in mind that we play
for the team instead
ourselves. Also, the sport
teaches us the important of
obedience (服從). Each
player must obey captain,
who is the leader of
the team. And they must not
break the rules too
often if we want to win the
game.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to tell you
about the discussion we’ve had about ______ ______.
Someone
said encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he’s
standing on, the heritage he’s been 36 . That’s what happened when a young
man, the son of a star baseball player, was 37 by one of the minor league teams. As hard
as he tried, his first season was 38 and by midseason he expected to be
released any day.
The
coaches were puzzled by his 39 because he 40 all the characteristics of an excellent
athlete, but he couldn’t seem to incorporate (并入) those 41 into a coordinated (協(xié)調(diào)) effort. He
seemed to have become disconnected from his 42 .
His
future seemed 43 one day when he had already struck out
his first time at bat. Then he 44 up to the batter’s box again and quickly
ran up two strikes. The catcher called a time ? out and ran to the pitcher’s
mound for a conference. 45 they were busy, the referee, standing
behind the plate, spoke 46 to the boy.
Then play continued,
the next pitch (投球)
was thrown－and
the young man 47 it out of
the park. That was the turning point. From then
on, he played the game with a new 48 and power that 49 drew the attention of the parent team,
and he was 50 to the majors.
On
the day he was leaving for the city, one of his coaches asked him what had
caused such a turnaround. The young man replied it was the encouraging 51 the referee had made that day when his
baseball career had seemed doomed (注定失敗).
“He
told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood 52 my dad in the batter’s box,” the boy
explained. “He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. And he
told me, ‘'I can see his genes in you; you have .your father’s 53 .’ After that, 54 I swung the bat, I just 55 I was using Dad’s arms instead of my
own.”

TOKYO
(Reuters) ? “Who played the father in the movie ‘Kramer
versus
Kramer’?” That’s one of the 50 questions Japanese men could
face
in a “daddy exam”, meant to raise awareness about fatherhood in a
country
where men tend to work long hours and leave their wives in
charge
of childcare and household chores.
Even
men who remember Dustin Hoffman struggling as a father in
the movie may have a hard time answering
questions ranging from potty
training and baby food to politics, such as the
percentage of gross
domestic product used for parenting support.
Tetsuya
Ando, director of Fathering Japan, a Tokyo non-profit organization that came up
with the test and will offer it to eager dads from next March, said the exam
was a catchy way to get fathers into parenting. “There just isn't enough
information about parenting for fathers. Through the exam, we want men to
realize that they don't know anything about child-rearing,” he said.
For
the price of 3,900 yen ($34), fathers can find out whether they qualify as a
“Super Dad,” or are in need of more effort as a “Challenge Dad.”
“We
have received inquiries(咨詢) from fathers, single men, to-be-dads,
grandfathers ... even an aunt who was concerned that her nephew is too busy
with work to notice the fun of parenting,” Ando said. The image of fathers is
gradually changing in Japan as younger men eschew their own dads’
hands-off approach in favor of closer involvement, and a wave of new parenting
magazines for male readers has been hitting newsstands. But it is still hard
for Japanese fathers to cut down on their work hours and spend more time with
their families. Only 0.5 percent of employed men in Japan took parental leave
in 2005, as opposed to 14 percent in the United States and 12 percent in
Britain in 2000.
56. The “daddy
exam” is intended to .
A.
test to ? be ? dads’ fatherhood knowledge
B. test Challenge
Dad’s parenting knowledge
C. attract
the whole society’s attention to parenting
D. have
fathers realize their responsibility for their families
57. In the
exam, the Japanese fathers may find that .
A. they
almost know nothing about the questions
B. the
questions only make sense to to ? be ? dads
C. there is
ample information about parenting
D. it’s not
a good way to get them into parenting
58. The
underlined word “eschew” in the last paragraph can be replaced by the
word “”.
A. avoid B.
adopt C.
improve D.
adore
59. The
magazines for male readers are popular most probably because many men .
A.
long to know how to do household chores
B. become
more concerned about parenting
C. want to
get high scores in the 50 ? question test
D. like to
know whether they are Challenge Dads
60. From the
whole report, it can be inferred that .
A. Japanese
fathers show no interest in parenting
B. young
Japanese men tend to set about parenting
C. young
fathers value parenting less than their fathers
D. Japanese
fathers value parenting more than British fathers

Leading
investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and
companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming,
saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardizing future profits if
they do not consider the long ? term impact of what they are doing carefully.
It
is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any
green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the
surrounding environment and social structures. The report produced by the
investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the
potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
Production
of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an
ecofriendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights
campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests.
Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as
both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that biofuels
could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make
sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or
cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about palm oil, which is
used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests
are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to

With thousands of years of history and
mythology in its area, Athens―named for the olive-tree-loving Athena---is more
than a concrete jungle. It’s a lovely city decorated by outdoor cafes,
pedestrian streets, parks, gardens and plenty of characters. If you get into
the spirit of things, you might not even notice the smoke and fog hanging
overhead.
The city is connected three sides by Mt
Parnitha, Mt Pendeli and Mt Hymettos. Within Athens there are no less than
eight hills, of which the Acropolis and Lykavitos are the most famous. The
hills provide a peaceful rest from the noise of the city.
Just about everything of interest to the
traveler is within a small area surrounding Plateia Syntagmatos (Syntagma
Square). This area is connected with the districts of Plaka to the south,
Monastiraki to the west, Kolonaki to the east and Omaonia to the north.
Plateia Syntagmatos is dominated by the
old Roal Palace and is the beating heart of the business district, with luxury
hotels, banks and airline offices. Plaka, nestled below the Acropolis, is the
old Turkish quarter and virtually all that existed when Athens was declared the
capital of independent Greece. Though Plaka is packed with tourists in high
season, it’s also one of the prettiest and most atmospheric areas of the city.
Monastiraki is the market district and a fascinating part of town to wander.
Psiri, nearby, is full of stylish cafes and bars and makes a great place to
stop for a rest of lunch. Kolonaki, a classy living area, is full of trendy
boutiques, art galleries and cafes.

During
the past few years, scientists in the world have suddenly found themselves
productively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding ? writing,
and kind of writing, but particulary letter writing. Encouraged by electronic
mail’s surprisingly high speed, convenience and economy, people who never
before touched the stuff are regularly, skillfully, even cheerfully tapping out
a great deal of correspondence.
electronic journals. Anyone with a personal
computer, a modern and the
software to link computers over telephone lines
can sign on. An estimated
five million scientists have done so with more
joining every day, most
of them communicating through a bundle of
interconnected domestic
and foreign routes known collectively as the
Internet, or net.
E-mail is starting to
edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail,
and
of course, land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific
collaborators,
in part because it is conveniently asynchronous (writers can type while their
colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is
not yet speeding discoveries, it is certainly accelerating communication.
Jeremy
Bernstei, the physicist and science writer, once called E-mail the physicist’s
umbilical cord (生命線).
Lately other people, too, have been discovering its connective virtues.
Physicists are using it; college students are using it, everybody is using it,
and as a sign that it has come of age, the New Yorker has celebrated its
liberating presence with a cartoon―an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard,
saying happily, “On the Internet,
nobody knows you’re a dog.”
69. The reasons
given below about the popularity of E ? mail can be found in the passage except
.
A. direct
and convenient B.
time ? saving in delivery
C. money ?
saving D.
available around the clock
70. How is the Internet or net explained in the
passage? _____
A. Electronic
routes used to fax or correspond overnight.
B. Electronic
routes used to read home and international journals.
C. Electronic
routes waiting for correspondence while one is sleeping.
D. Electronic
routes connected among millions of users, home and abroad.
71. Which
statement is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in the third
paragraph?_____
A. It shrinks
time for communication and accelerates discoveries
B. Although
it does not speed up correspondence, it helps make discoveries.
C. It
quickens communication even if it does not accelerate discoveries.
D. The
quick speed of correspondence may have ill ? effects on discoveries.
72. What will happen to fax, land mail,
overnight mail, etc. according to the writer? _____
A. They
will co-exist with E-mail for a long time.
B. Fewer
and fewer people will use them.
C. Their
functions cannot be replaced by E-mail.
D. They
will play an additional function to E ? mail.

In America, drivers’ education is part of
regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high
school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other
courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a
summer course.
The course is divided up into two parts:
class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise
driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text
from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving
test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.
Driving time is a chance for the students
to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering,
backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other
maneuvers required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of
six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and
the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student
gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in
the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in
which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the
other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run
into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another
special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER.
That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the
student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving
slowly.
After the student has passed the driver’s
education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in
every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to
a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an
eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all
three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in
his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with
flying colors and get a driver’s license.
73. In America,
the driver’s course mentioned above __________.
A. is considered as part of the advanced
education
B. is given to anyone wanting to get a
driver’s license
C. is carried on at the same time as
other courses
D. is offered to all the students of
Grade 2 in high schools
74. We can
infer that the students are required to __________ in their whole driving
practice.
A. go out driving for twelve times B. spend at least six hours driving
C. drive for two-hour blocks of time D. get half an hour driving
75. In the last
sentence,the underlined phrase “with flying colors”means _________.
A. happily B.
successfully C. colorfully D. quickly

Learning to study is not difficult. The first thing to remember is
that you must be willing to learn. It doesn't mean that you must always like
the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to learn whatever
is necessary. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you
now and later. Knowing mathematical facts will be useful in your whole life.
Knowing how to spell words makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes the
subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be attractive when you
begin to work on it. Learning things can be fun if you can try your best.
Here's some advice for you. Have a certain time each day and a
quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can concentrate on your
study without interruptions. Have everything ready before you sit down to
study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books. Be sure you understand what you
should learn before you start. Read carefully and pay special attention to the
most important things. When memorizing, find out the main parts and then recite
the whole thing. Check your homework after you finish it. Never forget the
importance of review and preview.
People wear hats for three main
reasons: protection, communication, and decoration.
Protection. People first began
to wear hats to 21 themselves from the climate. In hot,
sunny climates, wide-edged hats provide 22 from the sun. In cold climates, people
often wear wool hats. In some regions, people wear a variety of protective
hats, 23 the season. They may wear a wool hat in
winter, a rain hat in spring or fall, and a wide-edged hat in summer. Hats also
provide protection in certain 24 . Construction workers, football
players, military personnel, and people in many other fields wear metal or
plastic helmets(頭盔) for protection from 25 .
Communication. Hats can communicate
various things about the people who wear them. The hats of coal miners, cowboys
and firemen indicate the wearer's 26 . Students may wear a mortarboard(學(xué)位帽) to show they are graduating
from high school or college.
Decoration. Most people wear a hat that
they believe makes them look attractive, 27 the hat's main purpose may be protection
or communication. Many protective hats are attractive and stylish. Even the
caps of police officers and military personnel are designed to 28 the wearer's appearance. Certain
decorative hats are worn as a(n) 29 . In Scotland, for example, people wear

Mr. 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(溝渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding 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 dared not open the windows because I knew water would
come flooding 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. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was
really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket
and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered
desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to
unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from
the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock.
Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. 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(擦傷), 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. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

The common cold is the world’s most widespread
illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.
The most widespread fallacy(謬誤) of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not.
They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You
catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already
has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to
suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions
explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again
with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped
from airplanes.
During the First World War
soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(戰(zhàn)壕), cold
and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War
prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奧斯維辛集中營), naked and starving, were astonished to find that
they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England,
volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the
discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot
baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and
then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while
others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the
volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in
his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have
nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet
found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to
stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes
it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure
for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the
symptoms(癥狀).
46. The writer offered _______ examples to
support his argument.
A. 4 B.
5 C.
6 D.
3
47. Which of the following does not agree
with the chosen passage?
A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B. Colds are not caused by cold.
C. People suffer from colds just because they like to
stay indoors.
D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who
already has one.
48. Arctic explorers may catch colds when
_______.
A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic
regions
D. they are coming into touch again with the outside
world
49. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the
Common Cold Research Unit _______.
A. suffered a lot
B.
never caught colds
C. often caught colds D.
became very strong
50. The passage mainly discusses _______.
A. the experiments on the
common cold
B. the fallacy about the
common cold
C. the reason and the way
people catch colds
D. the continued spread of common colds

Have you seen the film Star Wars? If you have, you’ll
know what an energy-gun is, and a light-sword too. The gigantic space ship in
Star Wars can destroy a whole planet in a second or two, and it does so.
Fortunately, it isn’t our planet; it belongs to a distant system, far out in
space.
The great empty spaces of the universe are no problem
in star Wars. The fighters know how to fold space over, like a sheet of paper,
so that very distant stars are brought close together; they call it “hyperspace”.
This means, of course, that their ships don’t have to creep along at the speed
of light. If they did that, they would take years, even centuries, to reach the
battlefield. Hyperspace allows them to travel as “supralight” speed and get
there in a couple of hours. It’s good clean fun (健康無害的娛樂)
though.
We certainly don’t know all about physics yet, but we
do have the work of Albert Einstein. He asked us to believe that nothing could
travel faster than light through an empty space ? but don’t let that miserable
idea spoil the film for you, even though all our observations up to now have
shown that Einstein was dead right ? forget it. Sit back and watch those energy
? shells blow up the hated enemy. The Star Wars princess is extremely
beautiful.
The more we “discover”, the more we must admire
Einstein. He knew it all before us ??? by about 1910 in fact. We observe certain very high speed
particles (微粒), and they behave exactly as Einstein
predicted they would. We can give them a speed almost equal to light, but they
never quite reach light speed. He predicted that a very fast ? moving object,
as it flashed by a stationary (靜止的) observer, would seem to have much greater
weight than usual. And that, too, was proved correct.
So far as scientific theory or evidence is
concerned, there is no such thing as hyperspace, no such speed as supralight.
Space is as we know it, and light speed is the highest possible speed. “But,”
say the story-writers, “that’s only true at present. We don’t know all about
physics yet. Who knows???who knows if there isn’t another set of facts just
waiting to be discovered; another universe perhaps, just round the corner?”
Einstein seems to have been prepared for
that too. In his theories he emphasized the word “relative”. Everything ?
speed, weight, time, etc. ? is relative to something else. Nothing, by itself
is real or absolute. So if there is another universe somewhere, we shall only
know about it relative to ourselves. So far there’s no sign of it. But for the
future, well, who knows?
51. What is the purpose of science ? fiction stories
and films?
A.
They point out the way ahead, and scientists are grateful.
B.
They encourage us in our searching for the truth.
C.
They show us what the future universe will be like.
D.
They are written and made to entertain us.
52. If you see Star Wars, what might spoil it for you,
according to the passage?
A.
Einstien’s theories.
B.
The uncomfortable surroundings of the theatre.
C.
The ugly actress and actors.
D.
The rude audience.
53. The increase in weight that Einstein predicted
A.
applies only to big things, like huge space - ships
B.
is apparent only to the stationary observer
C.
is a real increase
D.
remains even after the objective has stopped moving
54. Einstein’s theories emphasized .
A.
everything is relative to something else
B.
the universe is infinite
C.
ight speed is the highest possible speed
D.
there is another universe somewhere
55. Although Einstein did not observe the behavior of
high ? speed objects, .
A.
his theories predicted they travels at light speed
B.
his theories predicted them with great accuracy

In this materialistic world money is often
considered the most valuable thing. But I agree that reading books is more
valuable than anything else, for it can benefit us in many ways. The old saying
“To open a book is always beneficial” shows how good reading is.
First of all, reading is a very important way to gain
knowledge. By reading we can get to know whatever we need. We just owe most of
our knowledge to the books we have read.
Secondly, reading good books is one of the greatest
pleasures in life. It increases our joy when we are in high spirits, and
lessens our trouble when we are discouraged. Whatever may be our purpose in
reading, our contact with good books may always bring us enjoyment and
satisfaction. Many people find examples in good books to follow, and their
choice of future vocations is to a great extent influenced by the books they
have read.
Thirdly, good books serve as gentle companions or
faithful friends that will never betray us. While reading good books, we do not
feel lonely. They are ready to give us whatever we need such as knowledge,
friendship and encouragement.
Finally, reading books is also an experience of visiting
famous places, getting familiar with various people, and enriching our
knowledge. And it is a process of keeping ourselves well informed so that we
may become well qualified for our work. Therefore, It is necessary for
everybody to read good books.
