AThe Enigma (谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4, 000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural,” says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist atthe University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin. But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists' answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.21. People's ideas about beauty ________.A. have existed since ancient timesB. can be easily describedC. have little influence on a person's successD. are based upon strict standard22. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________.A. were rated for their appearanceB. were entered in a beauty contestC. were shown photos of a group of college studentsD. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones23. The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A. qualitiesB. measurementsC. judgmentsD. standards24. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgroundsBIn the Middle Ages in Europe, theater was an important part of civic, economic and religiouslife. During this period after the fall of Roman civilization, many cities were destroyed. Southern and Western Europe, famous for its agriculture, became increasingly more agricultural. After several hundred years, many towns appeared again. The Roman Catholic Church took over religion, education and politics. What remained of theater was mostly on the Greek and Roman performing arts.Theater was reborn as liturgical（礼拜式的）dramas. It was written in Latin and dealing with biblical（圣经）stories which would be performed by church members. Then there came local dramas spoken in common language not Latin. They were more wonderful one-act dramas taking place in town squares or other parts of the city. There were three types of local dramas. Mystery or cycle plays were short dramas based on biblical stories organized into historical cycles. Miracle plays dealt with the lives of the great. Morality（道德的）plays taught a lesson through characters standing for good or bad qualities. Secular plays in this period existed, but religious drama in the Middle Ages is mostly remembered today. As the Middle Ages ended, the number of religious theatres became small as the church weakened and more secular qualities won over religious theaters.25. According to the passage, what does "secular plays"mean here?A. Plays that deal with the lives of the great.B. Plays that taught a lesson.C. Plays based on biblical stories.D. Plays that are not connected with the church.26. Why did religious theatres become less important as the Middle Ages came to an end?A. People were not interested in them any longer.B. The church was not as important as what it had been.C. People liked new plays.D. The stories of religious theatres were outdated.27. According to the passage, why did religious theatres take over in the Middle Ages?A. People preferred religious theatres to other ones.B. There were no other types of theatres.C. The church played an important part in people’s life.D. The quality of religious theatres was better than that of other theatres.28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. European dramasB. Religious dramasC. Religious theatres in the Middle AgesD. Secular dramas in the Middle AgesCThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.29. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from othersB. always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. usually are affected by the results of certain things30. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.A. makes others unhappyB. has a good taste with social lifeC. tend to scold others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life31. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy personsDTime for Kids (TFK)gets the great news on the coolest toys for 2014 at the 111th American International Toy Fair.What’s four days long, bigger than seven football fields, and filled with thousands of toys? It’s Toy Fair 2014!Each year, hundreds of toy companies from across the country come together in New York City. All kinds of products are shown as a way to know what’s to come in the new year. This year’s trends include oversize toys. “In 2014, everything is really big and really out there,” says Adrienne Appell, a toy-trends expert.Toy Fair is the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). Toy-store buyers go to the event to decide which toys they may want to sell during the holiday season. Members of the media, like TFK, go to the fair to report back on all the cool trends. Unfortunately, Toy Fair is not open to the public.This year’s Toy Fair was the biggest in its 111-year history. More than 1,000 toy companies showed products from simple card games to high-tech robots. “Larger Than Life” was a Toy Fair favorite. This trend is all about big toys with a big play value.Though it is all fun and games at Toy Fair, we saw lots of products making a push towardseducation, with STEAM. That stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This trend includes word games. And of course, we saw some super cool, high-tech games. “Technology is always going to influence toys,” says Appell. “This year we saw lots of 3D games, and robots.”To know more information about the event, click here to watch the video.32. What can we infer from Toy Fair 2014?A. Toys are becoming more educational than fun.B. Robots are great favorites of buyers.C. Big toys will be popular this year.D. Simple card games will disappear on the market.33. What’s special about Toy Fair 2014?A. It is the largest.B. It is the longest.C. It sells all of its toys.D. It’s held in New York City.34. What’s the best title for the text?A. Kids love toysB. Toy-stores in New York CityC. Technology changes toysD. Time for toys35. The text is taken from a(n) _____.A. websiteB. newspaperC. magazineD.

I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther. So I cast my head 23 the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered from liver cancer, looked at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself 24 my owner everywhere；I saw him lie in his dying bed, she was all 25 .I ran as fast as I could. And the 26 I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet.

Keeps Kids Out of TroubleKids who live in families that eat dinner together regularly are less likely to be involved in risky behavior. According to statistics, children who don't eat dinner with their families are 61% more likely to use alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs. By contrast, children who eat dinner with their families every night of the week are 20% less likely to drink, smoke or use illegal drugs.2.It's Bonding（联系）TimeFamilies who eat dinner together regularly are more likely to have stronger, happier family relationships. As families struggle to find amounts of quality time together, family dinner time provides the opportunity for both. When families hang out together and communicate, they grow strong and healthy.3. Offers StabilityFamilies who eat dinner regularly develop a stronger family identity. Eating together serves to build a family identity. In addition, this family“routine”provides a sense of stability（稳定）and security that provides kids with a positive environment where they can grow into healthy adults.4.Time for Family UpdatesFamilies who eat dinner together regularly can keep in touch with each other's life. Everyone—kids and parents alike—can keep up-to-date during the family dinner time on what is going on with school,jobs,family life and friends.cates Your KidsEating dinner regularly fosters（促进）learning. When families who eat dinner together engage in a variety of conversation topics, learning is encouraged. Kids who are exposed to regular family discussions learn a broader vocabulary.6.Healthy for the Whole FamilyKids are likely to receive better nutrition when eating dinner regularly with their families. A simple, but true rule applies: when kids eat with their families, they eat better. Family dinner time means kids are more likely to eat a nutritionally balanced meal, lower in sugar and fat content, than if they prepare or purchase meals on their own.36. What is the text mainly about?A. The benefits of eating meals.B.How to strengthen family ties.C.The importance of family dinner time.D.Ways to keep our kids out of trouble.37. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the text?A. children learn words mainly from their parents.B.It makes good sense to have dinner with family.C.Family dinner time benefits parents and children.D. Parents can keep in touch with their kids while dining.38.Children can grow stronger and healthier when eating dinner with their familiesbecause .A.they depend on their parents for guidanceB.they develop a strong sense of responsibilityC.school canteens provide balanced mealsD.parents can provide better nutrition for themBSkipping classes violates school rules and a poor attendance record will damage your final mark. But some college students still try every means to escape classes. The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think. Three students from Anhui Normal University established Itaoke. Com in June. The website quickly attracted 2 000 registered members in three months. On the website, students share their experiences of skipping classes and even post ads to look for someone to stand in for them to attend courses. It’s emb arrassing for universities to see this shameful behavior discussed.However，it's good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skip classes，according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University: Xiao pointed out that some students skip classes because of laziness. Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory,“Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem，”said Xiao.Chen Yang，21，thinks that he is “forced" to skip some courses because of the poor teaching. The senior，majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that he's wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures，or sit in on(旁听）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasizes：“I skip classes with a clear goal，which is to probe into areas I'm interested in and br oaden my horizons.”Li Sicen，President of the National Taiwan University，seems to be on Chen's side. Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.However，Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy in a limited number of cases.In Professor Pan Cuiqiong's opinion，students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. "To clear students' misunderstanding，teachers should use materials closely related to students’lives and adapt interactive teaching methods，”said Pan.Besides offering teachers more training，schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in，according to Professor Xiao. Many Chinese students have the experience of being kicked out of an optional course because its size is limited. They are then forced to choose courses they dislike and are likely to skip them. We may learn from Sydney University in Australia. There aren't any problems with numbers---if a course is popular then there will be more than one class per week.39. The underlined word “rebels" in Paragraph 1 refe rs to“A. students who embarrass their universitiesB. students who establish websitesC. students who skip classesD. students who quarrel with their parents40. Chen Yang Skips some courses because＿．A. his school is more student-centeredB. he wants to get more sleepC. he wants to fool around on campusD. the teaching style needs much improvement41. According to the passage，we learn that Professor Xiao＿．A. is giving permission for students to skip classesB. thinks it's embarrassing for the three students to establish ltaoke. comC. thinks the website will help to know why students skip classesD. claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons42. Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to stop students skipping classes?A. Teachers should adopt practical materials and flexible teaching methods.B. Schools should offer teachers more training.C. Schools need to ensure that students can attend various courses they are interested in.D. Students should be punished if they skip classes.cWhen I turned four, everything seemed to go wrong. I had asthma(哮喘) and for the most part I was in constant pain. I was in and out of doctors’ offices many times, but they could never find out what was wrong.One night, I had a fever and high blood pressure, and my feet were purple. My parents quickly took me to the emergency room, where they were told I needed my appendix(阑尾) taken out. I lay there that night, getting worse by the minute. At that point, the doctors knew it was more thanmy appendix.The next day, I was taken to the Children’s Hospital under the care of Dr. Cohen, a kidney(肾) specialist. After two weeks of treatment, I was still not responding. My kidneys were only working 2 percent of the time and if something wasn’t done, I would die.My parents were told their only daughter was dying and without much improvement would be put on a waiting list for a kidney transplant.That night, my dad sat down by my bed and told me I was going to fight harder than I had ever fought before. Suddenly, I reached up and-gathering all the energy I had-I hit him on the nose! He knew then I was not going to give up.The next morning I was given a transplant, and I was put on steroids(透析). Within a couple of d ays, I started showing steady signs of improvement, but my parents were told, “Kristy will never have as much energy as a normal kid, even if she pulls through. "Well, ten years later, I can proudly say, "Look at me now!" I’m fourteen years old. I play four sports, and I’m a living miracle(奇迹) to my doctors, family and friends. Even if you are only given a 2-percent chance of survival, that’s all you really need.43. The author hit her father on the nose because she wanted to show_____.A. her determination of fighting the sicknessB. she hated her parents because of her weak bodyC. she loved her parents though she was born a sick childD. she hated to be in and out of the hospital44. If Kristy had not been taken to the hospital for the appendix operation,_____.A. her parents wouldn’t have worried about her so muchB. she would have had a kidney transplant immediatelyC. she wouldn’t have been found to have more kidneys than ordinary childrenD. the doctor wouldn’t have probably found out her sick kidneys45. The underlined word "pulls through" in the 6th paragraph probably means “_____”A. takes outB. recoversC. struggles hardD. fails46. From the story, the author tries to tell us that_____.A. at any time, your parents always love you and take care of youB. when you are ill, you must not hate your parents and hit themC. try your best for success, even if you’ve got a small chanceD. everybody will meet with difficulties on the way of his lifetimeDA child-like robot, Wakamaru, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and combining the roles of a nurse, companion and security guard, will soon be at the market to look after the growing number of old people with no one to look after them.Cameras fixed under the“eyebrows”of the robot enable it to“see”as it moves around in a house. The images can be sent to the latest mobile phones, which can show the pictures. Wakamaru speaks with either the voice of a boy or a girl. It is also designed to provide companionship, saying hello to its“papa”when he comes home. Based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words, it is the first household robot which is able to hold simple conversations. It can not only speak, but also understand answers and react accordingly.

AThe Enigma (谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4, 000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural,” says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist atthe University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin. But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scie ntists' answ er is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.21. People's ideas about beauty ________.A. have existed since ancient timesB. can be easily describedC. have little influence on a person's successD. are based upon strict standard22. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________.A. were rated for their appearanceB. were entered in a beauty contestC. were shown photos of a group of college studentsD. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones23. The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A. qualitiesB. mea surementsC. judgmentsD. standards24. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgroundsBIn the Middle Ages in Europe, theater was an important part of civic, economic and religiouslife. During this period after the fall of Roman civilization, many cities were destroyed. Southern and Western Europe, famous for its agriculture, became increasingly more agricultural. After several hundred years, many towns appeared again. The Roman Catholic Church took over religion, education and politics. What remained of theater was mostly on the Greek and Roman performing arts.Theater was reborn as liturgical（礼拜式的）dramas. It was written in Latin and dealing with biblical（圣经）stories which would be performed by church members. Then there came local dramas spoken in common language not Latin. They were more wonderful one-act dramas taking place in town squares or other parts of the city. There were three types of local dramas. Mystery or cycle plays were short dramas based on biblical stories organized into historical cycles. Miracle plays dealt with the lives of the great. Morality（道德的）plays taught a lesson through characters standing for good or bad qualities. Secular plays in this period existed, but religious drama in the Middle Ages is mostly remembered today. As the Middle Ages ended, the number of religious theatres became small as the church weakened and more secular qualities won over religious theaters.25. According to the passage, what does "secular plays"mean here?A. Plays that deal with the lives of the great.B. Plays that taught a lesson.C. Plays based on biblical stories.D. Plays that are not connected with the church.26. Why did religious theatres become less important as the Middle Ages came to an end?A. People were not interested in them any longer.B. The church was not as important as what it had been.C. People liked new plays.D. The stories of religious theatres were outdated.27. According to the passage, why did religious theatres take over in the Middle Ages?A. People preferred religious theatres to other ones.B. There were no other types of theatres.C. The church played an imp ortant part in people’s life.D. The quality of religious theatres was better than that of other theatres.28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. European dramasB. Religious dramasC. Religious theatres in the Middle AgesD. Secular dramas in the Middle AgesCThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.29. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from othersB. always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. usually are affected by the results of certain things30. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.A. makes others unhappyB. has a good taste with social lifeC. tend to scold others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life31. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy personsDTime for Kids (TFK)gets the great news on the coolest toys for 2014 at the 111th American International Toy Fair.What’s four days long, bi gger than seven football fields, and filled with thousands of toys? It’s Toy Fair 2014!Each year, hundreds of toy companies from across the country come together in New York City. All kinds of products are shown as a way to know what’s to come in the new year.

This tre nd is all about big toys with a big play value.Though it is all fun and games at Toy Fair, we saw lots of products making a push towardseducation, with STEAM. That stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This trend includes word games. And of course, we saw some super cool, high-tech games. “Technology is always going to influence toys,” says Appell. “This year we saw lots of 3D games, and robots.”To know more information about the event, click here to watch the video.32.

Maybe she didn’t want me to die from la ck of air；she untied the bag.I 21 out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.It turned out that my owner meant to 22 me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther. So I cast my head 23 the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered from liver cancer, looked at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself 24 my owner everywhere；I saw him lie in his dying bed, she was all 25 .I ran as fast as I could. And the 26 I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet.

Keeps Kids Out of TroubleKids who live in families that eat dinner together regularly are less likely to be involved in risky behavior. According to statistics, children who don't eat dinner with their families are 61% morelikely to use alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs. By contrast, children who eat dinner with their families every night of the week are 20% less likely to drink, smoke or use illegal drugs.2.It's Bonding（联系）TimeFamilies who eat dinner together regularly are more likely to have stronger, happier family relationships. As families struggle to find amounts of quality time together, family dinner time provides the opportunity for both. When families hang out together and communicate, they grow strong and healthy.3. Offers StabilityFamilies who eat dinner regularly develop a stronger family identity. Eating together serves to build a family identity. In addition, this family“routine”provides a sense of stability（稳定）and security that provides kids with a positive environment where they can grow into healthy adults.Time for Family UpdatesFamilies who eat dinner together regularly can keep in touch with each other's life. Everyone—kids and parents alike—can keep up-to-date during the family dinner time on what is going on with school,jobs,family life and friends.Educates Your KidsEating dinner regularly fosters（促进）learning. When families who eat dinner together engage in a variety of conversation topics, learning is encouraged. Kids who are exposed to regular family discussions learn a broader vocabulary.Healthy for the Whole FamilyKids are likely to receive better nutrition when eating dinner regularly with their families. A simple, but true rule applies: when kids eat with their families, they eat better. Family dinner time means kids are more likely to eat a nutritionally balanced meal, lower in sugar and fat content, than if they prepare or purchase meals on their own.36. What is the text mainly about?A. The benefits of eating meals.B.How to strengthen family ties.C.The importance of family dinner time.D.Ways to keep our kids out of trouble.37. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the text?A. children learn words mainly from their parents.B.It makes good sense to have dinner with family.C.Family dinner time benefits parents and children.D. Parents can keep in touch with their kids while dining.Children can grow stronger and healthier when eating dinner with their families because . A.they depend on their parents for guidance B.they develop a strong sense of responsibility C.school canteens provide balanced meals D.parents can provide better nutrition for themBSkipping classes violates school rules and a poor attendance record will damage your final mark. But some college students still try every means to escape classes. The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think. Three students from Anhui Normal University established Itaoke. Com in June. The website quickly attracted 2 000 registered members in three months. On the website, students share their experiences of skipping classes and even post ads to look for someone to stand in for them to attend courses. It’s embarrass ing for universities to see this shameful behavior discussed.However，it's good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skipclasses，according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University: Xiao pointed out that some students skip classes because of laziness. Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory,“Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem，”said Xiao.Chen Yang，21，thinks that he is “forced" to skip some courses because of the poor teaching. The senior，majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that he's wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures，or sit in on(旁听）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasizes：“I skip classes with a clear goal，which is to probe into areas I'm interested in and br oaden my horizons.”Li Sicen，President of the National Taiwan University，seems to be on Chen's side. Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.However，Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy in a limited number of cases.In Professor Pan Cuiqiong's opinion，students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. "To clear students' misunderstanding，teachers should use materials closely related to students’lives and adapt interactive teaching methods，”said Pan.Besides offering teachers more training，schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in，according to Professor Xiao. Many Chinese students have the experience of being kicked out of an optional course because its size is limited. They are then forced to choose courses they dislike and are likely to skip them. We may learn from Sydney University in Australia. There aren't any problems with numbers---if a course is popular then there will be more than one class per week.39. The underlined word “rebels" in Paragraph 1 refers to“A. students who embarrass their universitiesB. students who establish websitesC. students who skip classesD. students who quarrel with their parents40. Chen Yang Skips some courses because＿．A. his school is more student-centeredB. he wants to get more sleepC. he wants to fool around on campusD. the teaching style needs much improvement41. According to the passage，we learn that Professor Xiao＿．A. is giving permission for students to skip classesB. thinks it's embarrassing for the three students to establish ltaoke. comC. thinks the website will help to know why students skip classesD. claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons42. Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to stop students skipping classes?A. Teachers should adopt practical materials and flexible teaching methods.B. Schools should offer teachers more training.C. Schools need to ensure that students can attend various courses they are interested in.D. Students should be punished if they skip classes.cWhen I turned four, everything seemed to go wrong. I had asthma(哮喘) and for the most part I was in constant pain. I was in and out of doctors’ offices many times, but they could never find out what was wrong.One night, I had a fever and high blood pressure, and my feet were purple. My parents quickly took me to the emergency room, where they were told I needed my appendix(阑尾) taken out. I lay there that night, getting worse by the minute. At that point, the doctors knew it was more than my appendix.The next day, I was t aken to the Children’s Hospital under the care of Dr. Cohen, a kidney(肾) specialist. After two weeks of treatment, I was still not responding. My kidneys were only working 2 percent of the time and if something wasn’t done, I would die.My parents were told their only daughter was dying and without much improvement would be put on a waiting list for a kidney transplant.That night, my dad sat down by my bed and told me I was going to fight harder than I had ever fought before. Suddenly, I reached up and-gathering all the energy I had-I hit him on the nose! He knew then I was not going to give up.The next morning I was given a transplant, and I was put on steroids(透析). Within a couple of days, I started showing steady signs of improvement, but my parents were told, “Kristy will never have as much energy as a normal kid, even if she pulls through. "Well, ten years later, I can proudly say, "Look at me now!" I’m fourteen years old. I play four sports, and I’m a living miracle(奇迹) to my doctors, family and friends. Even if you are only given a 2-percent chance of survival, that’s all you really need.43. The author hit her father on the nose because she wanted to show_____.A. her determination of fighting the sicknessB. she hated her parents because of her weak bodyC. she loved her parents though she was born a sick childD. she hated to be in and out of the hospital44. If Kristy had not been taken to the hospital for the appendix operation,_____.A. her parents wouldn’t have worried about her so muchB. she would have had a kidney transplant immediatelyC. she wouldn’t have been found to have more kidneys than ordinary childrenD. the doctor wouldn’t have probably found out her sick kidneys45. The underlined word "pulls t hrough" in the 6th paragraph probably means “_____”A. takes outB. recoversC. struggles hardD. fails46. From the story, the author tries to tell us that_____.A. at any time, your parents always love you and take care of youB. when you are ill, you must not hate your parents and hit themC. try your best for success, even if you’ve got a small chanceD. everybody will meet with difficulties on the way of his lifetimeDA child-like robot, Wakamaru, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan and combining the roles of a nurse, companion and security guard, will soon be at the market to look after the growing number of old people with no one to look after them.Cameras fixed under the“eyebrows”of the robot enable it to“see”as it moves around in a house. The images can be sent to the latest mobile phones, which can show the pictures. Wakamaru speaks with either the voice of a boy or a girl. It is also designed to provide companionship, saying hello to its“papa”when he comes home. Based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words, it is the first household robot which is able to hold simple conversations. It can not only speak, but alsounderstand answers and react accordingly. It will ask“Are you all right?”if its owner doesn’t move for some time. If the answer is no, or there is no answer, it will telephone preset numbers, send images and work as a speakerphone. It can recognize up to 10 faces and be set to tell forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep.However, like most robots, it cannot climb stairs. Mitsubishi developed Wakamaru from robots which have already been made to go around nuclear power facilities.“Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decided that this could work as a business. We want to offer it as a product that helps society,”said the project chief. The developers plan to sell the robot from April this year at between5,000 and 6,000 pounds.The life expectancy(寿命)of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world. At the same time, large families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents. Therefore, the technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan.47. The passage is written with the purpose to .A. introduce a new robotB. solve the ageing problemC. tell people the rapid development of technologyD. tell people how to use the robot48. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the robot can dial any number for helpB. the robot is likely to have a promising marketC. the robot enables the Japanese to live longerD. many elderly Japanese are anxious about their future49. The underlined part“nuclear families”in the last paragraph probably means“”.A. families with nuclear power facilitiesB. small families without a parentC. families with children and old peopleD. families with parents and their children only50. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Latest Development of RobotB. Japanese Robot and the Ageing SocietyC. Large Market of the New RobotD.

ADear Coach，I have been out of work for almost six months now and things are starting to get very tough for me. I am practically living out of my savings. I have been looking for a job,but things are really bad and 1 cannot find a single person who wants to hire me. I know that the main problem is that I do not have a degree. I want to go back to school and get my degree,but I also need a job now. I owe money to some people who have been helping me. BecauseI am out of work，I cannot pay them back. What do you think 1 should do? I need to finda job as quickly as possible, and want to know what else to do to get people to give me a chance to work for them.The Unemployed. Dear Unemployed，Before you get yourself in a really bad situation, you need to stop borrowing money from people. If you continue doing that,you will be deep in debts and the situation will get even worse for you. The next thing you need to do is look for a job depending on your abilities, skills, and experience. By doing that, you willbe increasing your chances of finding a job that suits you best. And the last thing I will suggest is that you should stop feeling sorry for yourself and continue working hard to get a job that you need. Borrowing money, complaining, and feeling bad for your situation will do no good to you. Stay strong and get out there and start showing the worldwhat you can offer. I promise if you work hard and never give up,you will soon find thejob that you are looking for. And while you are doing it,thing about getting your degree as well because it will help you to become more challenging. Try those tips.The Coach21.Why did the unemployed write to the coach?A.

She often saw somebody outside during a class break, sitting alone and not having any friends to play with. When seeing this scene,she felt bothered,for in her mind everybody in the world needed friends. That was why Clare came up with an idea —“a b uddy bench”.Buddy benches have been tried at other schools. In 2012, a girl named Acacia came up with the idea of the friendship bench with her parents’ help. The students found it was something that was badly needed. Many students went there and found their friends. Other students learnt the importance of social communication with the words，like“hope”，“respect”，“listen”and“dream”， painted on the benches. The friendship bench was also praised by teachers there.Clare thinks her school also needs such benches. So she has been working on raising the money to pay for the benches and talking with school officials about getting theminstalled. “They are certainly something that I think will be great additions to our school, ”said Claret principal , Kat h leen. ^Clare thinks that everybody needs friends, ” said her mom, Tricia. “Moreover , she wants everybody to be her friends. Clare had been inspired by her elder sister who is disabled. ”“Having seen her sister's struggles,she understood what other kids felt when they were struggling. Clare didn’t want to see her sister or anybody else struggle.”As the actor Will Rogers said,“A stranger is just a friend I haven’t met yet. ”That’s appar ently how Clare sees people as well. “I hope that I can have t housands and thousands of friends, ” Clare said. “Everybody needs friends. ”24.Buddy benches will be added to Clare’s school to .A. remind students of their old friendsB. help students improve their communicationC. provide students with more activities to relaxD. offer students more chances to make friends25. According to Paragraph 2,the friendship bench .A. was launched with the help of ClareB. turned out to be a success at that schoolC.had no similarity with the buddy benchD.showed that primary students needed friendship26. What is Kathleen’s attitude towards buddy benches at his school?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Critical.D. Unconcerned.27. According to her mother’s words,Clare.A. always inspired her disabled sisterB. should urge others to make more friendsC. felt sympathetic to her sister and others in troubleD. showed no interest in making friends with other peopleCAn increasing number of people are being allowed to finish the working week early during the summer months. Does your boss trust you to spend an afternoon in the sun?Each year the number of companies which offer employees the choice of an early finish to the working week grows. Or, perhaps, each year,more people who work on ordinary Fridays hear about people playing on summer Fridays.When the sun is shining,it makes sense that you should be given Friday afternoons off,right? Sadly,not all managers agree with the policy.Companies that offer employees Friday afternoons off usually expect the hours to be made up. UK publishers Pan Macmillan and Penguin Random House (PRH) are among those offering summer hours. At PRH, those who wish to take off Friday afternoons are expected to work an extra 45 minutes a day from Monday to Thursday. On Fridays, a rota(值班表)ensures each team has been covered. “Most of us don’t leave at exactly lpm，”Editor Anderson says. Depending on your workload,you might just leave an hour or so early,but it’s still nice to do. ”Simon Hayward, CEO of Cirrus, says that the “Summer Fridays” policy requires trust, and that managers need to be seen to take advantage of the offer too. “If a manager offers summer Fridays and then obviously expects employees to work on Friday afternoons, there is a risk associated with it that reduces the sense of well-being(幸福）.I think there’s a genuine fear in some organizations about flexible working hours. Do you trust your employees to do their best for the buti- ness as well as for themselves and their families,or do you fundamentally mistrust them?”Managers in the former camp tend to be comfortable with summer hours. Those in the latter worry that summer Fridays will lead to late Mondays and long-lunch Tuesdays.28. What’s the good policy for some employees in summer?A. They don’t work on Friday.B. They have flexible working hours on Friday.C. They can take Friday afternoons off.D. They might leave an hour early on Friday afternoon.29. Usually in companies, this policy causes the employees to .A. work extra time from Monday to ThursdayB. actually work on Friday afternoonsC.have a short lunch on TuesdaysD.start work early on Friday mornings30. What is Editor Anderson’s attitude towards the policy at PRH?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Indiffer-ent.31. The underlined part in the last paragraph refers to .A. managers who trust their employees to do their bestB. companies which can manage the employees wellC. managers who mistrust employeesD. companies which offer Friday afternoons offDHappiness is a journeyWe always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, than another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly behappy when they are out of that stage.We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse (配偶) gets his or her act together. When we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The truth is, there’s no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said, “for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin a real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way,something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. ”This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced； until you have kids;until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt,and dance like no one’s watching.32. In the third paragraph, the author uses Alfred Souza’s quote in orderto .A.support his viewpointB. introduce one more topicC.enrich the content of the articleD. compare their different views on happiness33.

Our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together.C. When we retire, we are able to go on a nice holiday.D. Our life is always filled with challenges.34. The best title of the text might be .A. Owning the present is owning the futureB. Pursuing Happiness is Nature of Us HumansC. Happiness is a journey, not a destinationD. How to Possess Real Happiness35. The main idea of the second paragraph is that .A. Only when we get whatever we want can we feel our life is complete.B. Whatever happens in our life, we should live at present.C. We shouldn’t enjoy happ iness at present but in the future.D. We cannot enjoy happiness now because we are facing many challenges第二节（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。
