There are a number of ways that this can be __41__, i.e. school councils, year councils and peer mentoring.School councilsMost schools have a school council which exists to let the teachers and head teacher know what students’ __42__ are on a range of school issues. The school council usually consists of two or three elected __43__ from each year group.A school council might meet once or twice a month to discuss issues such as the dress __44__, the use of social areas, charity fundraising and bullying.Year councilsBecause school councils are sometimes __45__ by older students, some schools have introduced year councils. The aim of a year council is to give students the opportunity to express opinions on __46__ of importance to that particular year group. The following is an example of the rules relating to a school’s council for year 8 (pupils aged 12-13).The head of year will attend all council meetings as an observer and both they and the other year staff will be __47__ as required to offer support and advice to council members and to assist in the settlement of arguments.Peer mentoringThere are other ways in which students’ voices can be heard. One of the most popular schemes involves peer mentoring. Those who express an interest receive training to become mentors (导师) so that they are better equipped to help others. This starts from primary school age, when the mentors may get involved in issues __48__ to conflict resolution. At secondary school and at university, mentors are likely to deal with a larger variety of issues, such as __49__ and health-related matters.The belief in schemes like these is that being heard by your peers can be more effective and helpful as fellow students may have more time and understanding than teachers or others in __50__.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many people complain that their memory is bad, particularly as they get older. Life would be so much easier if we could remember things __51__. So how can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, __52__), psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long. The British psychologist E.C. Stanford seemed to __53__ this point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of them! __54__, especially for remembering numbers, is ‘chunking’ (分块), or grouping the information. The following numbers would be __55__ for most of us to remember. 1492178919931848. But look at them in ‘chunks’, and it becomes much easier. 1492 1789 1993 1848.So what about ‘memory training’? We’ve all __56__ people who can memorise packs of card by heart --- how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? __57__ experts, there are various ways of training your memory. Many of them __58__ forming a mental picture of the items to be memorised. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind __59__ a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. People were asked to remember up to 120 words using this technique; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to __60__ 90 per cent of them! Surprisingly, however, there is nothing __61__ about these methods --- they were around even in ancient times. Apparently the Roman general Publius Scipio could __62__ his entire army --- 35,000 men in total!__63__, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying large quantities of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to ‘form __64__ connections’ is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: ‘Do people get it from water?’, ‘What parts of the body does it affect?’ and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent ‘__65__’ reading and re-reading notes.51. A. effortlessly B. purposefully C. exactly D. carelessly52.

A. passively B. silently C. amusingly D. extensivelySection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days, according to a survey about socialising, conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world. Wherever you live, a typical night out is spent eating burgers, seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars. Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere.Differences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing. Most people surveyed felt that it was ‘perfectly normal’ for groups of young women to go out alone, that it was ‘equally acceptable’ for young women to smoke and drink, and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together. For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents’.Interestingly, however, most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with. Overall, only 10 per cent thought that parents treat their sons and daughters equally, and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!Important national differences appear, however, when it comes to time-keeping. In the Far East and Eastern Europe a night out starts --- and finishes --- much earlier: there seven o’clock was the average time for meeting up with friends. For many Southern European and South Americans, on the other hand, an evening out doesn’t even start until ten or eleven o’clock, by which time many of their South Korean or Japanese counterparts are safely home in bed!Parents’ rules reflect this. Most Japanese parents expect their teenagers home by ten o’clock or even earlier, whereas in Europe it is more likely to be eleven or twelve o’clock. The most surprising findings came from Argentina, however, where it is apparently quite normal for 15 and 16-year-olds to stay out all night. But then perhaps this is because their parents have less to worry about --- 80 percent of Argentine youngsters claimed that they rarely or never drink alcohol!66. Night out in Tokyo is similar to it in Milan because ________.A. English-language activities are highly welcomedB. they are experiencing the different globalized-cultureC. American culture is very popular all around the worldD. all the young people have the same habits and hobbies67. One of the biggest differences between young people and their parents lies in ______.A. the music style and stars they lovedB. their attitude towards paying money for dinnerC. the decreasing number of young women smokingD. the time they meet up with people and have evening out68. In the last paragraph, “this” refers to ______.A. evening outB. drinking alcoholC. time-keepingD. staying up late69. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. The same night-out life in all the modern cities.B. The similarities and differences in social behaviors.C. Comparing night life between the east and the west.D. Parents’ different rules between their sons and daughters.(B)Your Write Source book is loaded with information to help you learn about writing.

Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the other's sentence. In exceptional circumstances, this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak anyEnglish at all until after they started school.However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each other's company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard, of the University of Minnesota, set out to find the answer to this question. He traced sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life.The results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in similar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the 'Jim Twins' made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 1939, and adopted by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities may be at least partly due to 'nature'. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasise that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.73. The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that ______.A. twins communicate with each other in an unusual wayB. twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problemsC. most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new languageD. t wins won’t have an effective communication until they go to school74. The purpose of Tom Bouchard’s study is to find ______.A. what will happen if twins spend lives entirely in the same companyB. why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different familiesC. whether separated growing up has effect on twins’ special similaritiesD. when the special similarities come into being during their growing up75. What does the word “reading” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Book.B. Interpretation.C. Literature.D. Measurement.76. According to Tom Bouchard’s research, the special similarities between twins ______.A. depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer fromB. can not be proved or accepted by all the expertsC. result from the twins’ growi ng up and developmentD. are not closely linked with where the twins are raised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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
