Homework is work, not play. In contrast to what some might hope, students 55 finish their homework exclaiming that they had great fun. Nor is homework an activity that students choose to undertake. It is 56 by a teacher for students to complete on the teacher’s schedule, with the teacher’s requirements in mind．So to have the fight 57 Will be of great help. Homework means business and the student should expect to work on it seriously. As in the work place, careless efforts and lack of self-discipline are likely to make the 58 impression.

Teachers assign homework for 59 purposes. In some cases, teachers seek to review and solidify

material being covered in class; homework is also designed to 60 student learning beyond class lessons. As students mature, teachers often assign homework nightly in several subjects. Homework is also used to prepare students to handle new work, 61 in the ease of summer reading. Increasingly, school reforms call for homework to take the form of course projects, thus increasing its 62 to “real-life”job-related activity.

Like jobs, homework can be appealing when its resources are well managed. Resources 63 sources of information—textbooks, of course, and increasingly, the Internet—but they also include a quiet space to work, materials and equipment such as calculators, paper or a computer, and others who cohabit (共面存在) in the homework environment.

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension

（A）

Saturday 28 April, : Dennis Tito was setting off on his holiday. Mr. Tito’s journey was certainly unusual! So was the transport he chose, and the price of his trip.

The 60-year-old multi-millionaire from New York was sitting on board a Russian spaceship. He was on a journey to the International Space Station. It might have been a routine trip for the two astronauts who were traveling with him, but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey. Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space, and he had paid the sum of $20 million to go there. As the spacecraft left the earth’s atmosphere, Tito drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate and looked down at the earth’s blue-green surface. Two minutes later, he was sick. Luckily it was only a minor problem. He soon recovered, and from then on enjoyed a smooth journey. When he arrived at the space station, there was a big smile on his face. “A great trip!”he commented．“I love space.”

For a long time space travel was something for heroes. But all this is going to change. Companies like ProSpace are investing large amounts of money in space travel. They want space and

space travel to belong to the public, not just governments. There are other plans, like voyages through space from one side of the world to the other. Maybe we will be able to depart from New York at nine o’clock in the morning, and arrive an hour later-- in Tokyo! Such a schedule would allow the business traveler to return to New York on the same day, and still have eight hours for a meeting! 65．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

（C）

Making fists is relaxing. It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down (it’s OK, it’s on a list somewhere) and it makes you feel good when you cross something off 0ist-making is standard practice in therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them. Women always think they’re better at lis ts than men. Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble’ into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do.

James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own “time management matrix (模式)”. He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories: things that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but haven’t got to be done immediately and things that are less urgent but tha t he doesn’t want to forget. “Using categories to order the world is the way the human mind works,” he says. “After that, you should divide things into levels of importance.” But he also warns, “If people get too absorbed in making fists, it doesn’t work. They have too many categories and lose their ability to decide which is the most important.”

It’s all a question of what works best for you, whether it’s a tidy notebook, a packet of Post-it notes or the back of your hand．Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list,

which is printed out each morning. “My electronic organizer has changed my life,”she says. “Up to now, I’ve always relied on my good memory, but now that I’m working and studying, I find I’ve got too much to keep in my head．”

So what are you waitin g for? No, you’re not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded time-managed life. In fact, there’s no better time titan the present to begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and pen and make a list.

72．The main purpose of making lists is to .

A．help map out one’s future B．divide things into levels of importance

C．treat certain diseases such as depression D．organiz e one’s work and life reasonably

73．We can learn from the passage that .

A．good memory helps in list making

B．too much’ listing might be misleading

C．women usually make a lot more lists than men

D．people with high-powered jobs make lists most

74．The word “categories”in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as“”.

A．groups B．portions C．items D．areas

75．In this passage the author intends to .

A．suggest a way of raising one’s living standard B．introduce some ways of business management C．urge people to develop the habit of listing D．warn people not to rely on their memory

（D）

“Racism (种族歧视) is a grown-up disease,”declares the saying on Ruby Bridge’s website along with a photo of Mrs. Bridge today, a 6-year-old girl four decades ago. In the photo, she is walking up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, a little black girl accompanied by two officers who protect her on her way to school.

Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the first black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving -- she was a very courageous child -- and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不宽容) of all kinds. Ruby’s photo brings out another powerful image on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”

Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kids are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic．But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his paintings communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.

“The Problem We All Live With”belongs to Rockwell’s later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the final

copy, one sketch (草图) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched ． The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now, and she, is completely unaffected ．

76．Ruby Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because .

A ．she was a little fighter against racism

B ．she was very young, short and timid

C ．she was the first black to study in an all-white school

D ．she was chosen by the com t0be’wi’th white children

77．According to the passage, “The Problem We All Live With” is a(n) .

A ．social program for American children

B ．famous painting by Norman Rockwell

C ．photo displayed on Ruby Bridges’ website

D ．exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum 78．The word “desegregate ” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A ．fight against the white

B ．end racial separation

C ．struggle for freedom

D ．stop the black-white conflict 79．The main topic of this passage is .

A ．how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racism

B ．how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white school

C ．how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris work

D ．how persuasive Rockwell’s earlier work of art is

green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they. are 81 We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light enters the eye through the pupil and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the

back of the eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve. The image on the retina is actually upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This

Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we don’t like something, they become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow. Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can ’t see the signals.

83 characters always have large eyes, too. We can ’t actually change our eyes, but we can make them look bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isn’t new. Pic tures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians both men and women-used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eye shadow on the eyelids can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic ．Glasses can also make eyes look bigger.
