Facebook is a social network service and website that was launched in 2004. Friends, family, and co-workers use Facebook to communicate with each other. Many businesses use the site to show their products.

Users can write about themselves or their companies and include pictures and videos. They can also permit everyone, or only a few people, to see their Facebook pages.

In the summer of 2010, Facebook announced that it has over 500 million active users around the world.About half of them use the site every day. About 70 percent of all Facebook users are in countries outside the United States.

Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook in 2004 when he was a second year student at Harvard University in Massachusetts. He began the project by illegally using the university's computer system. Harvard University charged him with breaking several laws. Mark Zuckerberg was almost forced to leave school. But the university withdrew the charges. Mark Zuckerberg was also accused of stealing other people's ideas and using them in Facebook. He has denied (否认) the charges.Several people have taken legal action against him.

At first, only Harvard students could use Facebook. But it quickly expanded to other universities. The website was also opened to high school students. Now, anyone at least 13 years old with an e-mail address can join.

In the early days, only a small group of people managed Facebook. Now it has over 1,700 workers in 12 countries.

Facebook makes money by selling advertising. It has been extremely successful. The financial company SecondMarket, says Facebook is worth 41 billion dollars.

A movie about the creation of Facebook, called ―The Social Network‖，was released in October 2010.

56．What can we learn about Facebook?

A．The minority of its users are Americans.

B．Users can see anyone's Facebook pages.

C．More than 500 million people are using it.

D．It provides social network service for Americans.

57．Why was Mark Zuckerberg charged by Harvard University?

B．He devoted too much time working on his project.

C．He stole other people's ideas when writing his essay.

D．He used the university's computer system to start Facebook illegally.

58．Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word ―withdrew‖ in Paragraph 4?

C．held on D．rejected

Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language? Of course, it is possible. You can communicate your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human beings share a lot of common visual signals. These signals are as effective as words during communication.

The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.

Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one's arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes（原始部落）.

Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one's hand and making a circle with his thumb（拇指）and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped（握紧的）hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one's hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous（有活力的）.

Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one's attitude towards something or someone that person is with.

According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable（可靠的）way to understand one's mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.

60. Which of the following is the proper title for this passage?

A. Body Language

B. How to Communicate with the People around You

C. The History of Body Language

D. Gesturers And Languages

61. After reading the passage we can conclude that ________.

A. hand shaking suggests that the speaker is excited

B. head plays a less important part in body language

C. actors and actresses are good at gestures

D. people began to use body language long long ago

62．What's the characteristic（特点、特征）of body language?

A. Soundless and wordless.

B. Difficult to understand.

C. Powerful and vigorous.

D. Effective and normal

63．When sports men win a match, they probably ________.

A. clasp their hands to announce their victory

B. clasp their hands to express their excited feeling

C. have a picture taken as soon as possible

D. show a sign of thankfulness

C

A pioneering headteacher is calling for all high schools to follow his lead and start classes at 11 am, allowing teenagers two hours extra in bed.

Dr. Paul Kelley, head of Monkseaton Community High School in North Tyneside, said it would mean the end of sleeping in lessons before lunch, after experiments showed teenagers could have different body clocks from adults and younger children.

Russell Foster，an Oxford professor of neuroscience (神经系统科学)，tested the memory of 200 Monkseaton pupils at 9 am and 2 pm using pairs of words, and discovered a 9% improvement in the afternoon. Students correctly identified 51% of word pairs in the later session, compared with 42% in the morning. Tayler McCullough,15, one of the test subjects, said the majority of students would welcome the extra hours in bed. ―I'm extremely hard to get up in the morning.One or two people like to get to school early, but most of us would be up for going in later，I'm sure it would make a big difference to our learning ability.‖

Kelley is adamant that a change of school timetable will have a meaningful effect on exam performance. He wants his school's governors to approve his plan and put the new timetable in place before the opening of Monkseaton's new school building, the most technologically advanced in the country, in September.

Kelley hopes his latest idea will be just as successful.―We have to be practical. But this proves that, by starting later, children's l earning improves, as does their health.‖

Foster said，―This is preliminary (初步的) data, but what's exciting is that it matches more detailed studies carried out in Canada and the US.Teenagers get up late not because they are lazy but because they are biologically programmed to do so.‖

64．How many professors are mentioned in the passage?

A．One. B．Two.

C．Three. D．Four.

65．According to Russell Foster's research，________.

A．the students tested had very good memories

B．the students tested did better jobs in the afternoon

C．42% of the students tested could do very good jobs

D．51% of the students tested could master 9% of words

66．What does the underlined word ―adamant‖ in the fourth paragraph mean?

A．Angry. B．Absorbed.

C．Adaptable. D．Determined.

67．Foster's opinion on teenagers' getting up late is that ________.

A．teenagers are practical

B．teenagers are lazy-bones

C．it's based on their body development

D．it's good for their learning and health

D

The private automobile （私家车）has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their

place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.

For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.

Family life has been affected in various ways, The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can't keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD （Mothers Against Drunk Driving）. These women want to prevent further tragedies（悲剧）. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age, Students have formed a similar organization, SADD（Students Against Drunk Driving）and are spreading the same message among their friends.

For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.

68. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?

A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.

B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.

C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.

D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.

69. What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?

A. Patents have paid more attention to their children.

B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.

C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.

D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.

70. We can infer from the text that ____________ in America.

A. it will be more difficult for people to get new cars

B. parents will not allow their children to have their own cars

C. the government will encourage people to use public transportation

D. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems

E

第四部分写作（共两题，满分35分）

第一节任务型读写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

Maybe you are an average(普通的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time fo r studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for rest. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

3. Make good use of your time in class. Make use of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that text will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

My Opinion on Copying Others’ Homework

It is known to us all that some students copy others’ homework.

As students, we have to do plenty of homework both at school and at home, but sometimes we have too much homework which is too difficult for us. On the other hand, some students are lazy, and are not interested in their lessons, nor do they work hard. So in order to finish the assignments and please their teachers, some students copy others’ homework.

In my opinion, it is wrong to copy others’ homework b ecause it breaks the rules of the schools. We should be honest and try to finish our homework by ourselves instead of by copying. If you have trouble doing your homework you can ask your classmates or teachers for help.
