In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as it's good to read news or find helpful information to study.Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, make sure your parents know. Teachers and parents all think the book is of great help. A teacher said the book would be a guide for teens using the Internet. She believes it will keep students away from bad sites. "Many students are using the Internet without guidance from their parents," she said.

And even if he does not become rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week atthe age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand decided that he too would ride a horse. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand decidedthat he too would have servants. He and his wife also bought a very large house in the neighborhood.But keeping up with the Joneses was hard work, and it brought a lot of stress. Because there was always someone who had more money, a nicer house, a faster car, etc. Momand and his wife could not keep up with all of them, and so they moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with the neighbors. He decided that this was the subject for an article. He wrote it and sent it to a magazine. His article was publishedin 1913, and the expression "keeping up with the Joneses" became popular.1.

He wrote an article about it.C. He heard it from others.D. He learned it from a magazine.Passage 3.Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (注视). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation iscalled your eye span. Pay attention to improving your eye span so that you can read more words at a fixation.Some people read very slowly one word at a time. Others keep their eyes on the same group of words for a long time. This is a bad habit in reading. If you have this habit, you should try to break it.1. The main reason for reading fast is that ____.A. you can save time.B. you can make fewer fixations.C. you can understand better.D. you can read more words at a fixation.2. The underlined word "span" in the second paragraph probably means____.A. number.B. length.C. range.D. limit.3. What is the bad habit in reading according to the passage?A. Moving your eyes quickly.B. Keeping your eyes on the same group of words for a long time.C. Paying attention to improving your eye span.D. Seeing several words at a fixation.4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can.B. You should always read one word at a time.C. The faster you read, the better you understand.D. It is not important to improve your eye span.Passage 4.For many people, the name Baskin - Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream. Irvine Robbins, who helped create this famous brand, died in May at the age of 90. His life's work of making fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this frozen treat.Irvine Robbins opened his first ice cream store in 1945 in Glendale, California. At the time, there were no stores that sold many different flavors of ice cream. So, Robbins had the idea to offer a variety of flavors to customers. He believed that people would be more interested in buying ice cream if they had more choices.Robbins worked hard to create new flavors. He experimented with different ingredients (原料) and combinations. Some of his early flavors, like Pralines and Cream and Jamoca Almond Fudge, became very popular.In 1948, Robbins joined with his brother - in - law, Burton Baskin, to form Baskin - Robbins. The company was known for its "31 flavors" slogan. This meant that customers could choose from 31 different flavors of ice cream at any Baskin - Robbins store.Over the years, Baskin - Robbins continued to innovate (创新). They introduced new flavors, such as Mint Chocolate Chip and Cookies 'n Cream.They also developed different types of ice cream products, like ice cream cakes and sundaes.Today, Baskin - Robbins is one of the most well - known ice cream brands in the world.

Many people worry about their family"s welfare, reputation, and honor. Asian families are often 1 , including several generations related by 2 or marriage living in the same home.

They are 11 to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an education. 12 , the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who leave the country for economic reasons 13 send large parts of their income home to their parents.The Vietnamese family 14 people currently 15 as well as the spirits of the dead and of the as-yet unborn.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1When you speak on the telephone, you cannot use your facial (面部的) expression, eye contact and gestures to **municate your message. Your voice must do the job.A good voice is pleasant to listen to because it communicates a positive message. Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice:Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information.Speak slowly enough so that the listener has a chance to understand your messages without your having to repeat it. Keep in mind that as you speak the other person may be taking notes.Pronunciation is the correct way to say a word. To avoid mispronouncing (读错音) words, you may wish to check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words in the dictionary before you use them.People with an accent unlike yours may not understand your pronunciation of some words. You also may not understand the pronunciation of some of their words. In these cases, careful pronunciation is very important for **munication. You may need to repeat or spell words that are unusual or easy to be misunderstood.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.When speaking on the phone, the essential factor for **munication is your ______.A voiceB gestureC eye contactD facial expressionSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.To give important information, a person speaking on the phone should ______.A keep a pleasant mannerB use familiar wordsC lower the voiceD speak louderSSS_SINGLE_SEL3.The speaker is advised to speak slowly in order to help the listener to ______.A remember some wordsB repeat the informationC check the messageD take some notesSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.To avoid mispronouncing unfamiliar words, you are advised to ______.A check them in a dictionaryB pronounce them loudlyC use other words insteadD ask others for helpSSS_SINGLE_SEL5.Speakers sometimes need to spell some words to help listeners to understand ______.A long sentencesB unusual wordsC difficult questionsD important expressionsPassage 2Car servicing is something that every car owner has to experience at least some time of the year. The best method to service your car is to go to your car service station and have the servicing done methodically (有条理地) according to your car maker. Consider this: Your car is up and running smoothly but the mileage (里程) figures indicate that you need to have it serviced. Certainly, this is the right thing to do but have you wondered what actually goes in to make you pay that servicing bill every 6 months?Servicing your car is a simple DIY (Do It Yourself) job that you can learn quickly and easily to save some good money.If you have never serviced your car before personally, here"s your resource:Car servicing essentially means inspecting the car thoroughly for any **ponents, and replacing some parts regularly that wear out over time. If you review carefully it is certainly possible to do all this by yourself, as below:You will need a complete set of tools as provided by your car maker when you purchased the vehicle. This will usually consist of all the spanners (扳手) that you might need.Completely servicing your car will need a few hours but you will end up saving a lot of money. Besides, it"s fun too and a lot of learning.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.What is the best way to service your car?A To service your car by yourself.B To turn to other car owners for help.C To send your car back to the car maker.D To have your car serviced at the service station.SSS_SINGLE_SEL2.What indicates that your car needs servicing?A Weather conditions.B Gas consumption.C Mileage figures.D Servicing bills.SSS_SINGLE_SEL3.Why does the author suggest servicing your car by yourself?A It is money-saving and easy to learn.B It is a simple way to save energy.C It is convenient and challenging.D It is done more efficiently.SSS_SINGLE_SEL4.**ponent parts should be replaced regularly because ______.A they are outdatedB they need to be oiledC they become worn outD they are easily availableSSS_SINGLE_SEL5.What is included in the set of tools provided by the car maker for self-servicing?A Spare parts.B Cleaning brushes.C Measuring meters.D All kinds of spanners.Passage 3There is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be startling.Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding.What regulates the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar heat held by the earth, which in turn determines the temperature of the planet. Another possibility is that man"s industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the world"s population.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.According to the text, the climate of the world seems to ______.A be getting colderB be getting warmerC remain the same in the past ten yearsD have good effects on the world"s populationSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.According to what you have read, which of the following is TRUE?A Man"s activities have no effect on the climate.B Another ice age **e soon.C People don"t care about the changing climate.D Scientists are not yet sure about the reason for the changing climate.SSS_SINGLE_SEL3.A meteorologist is a person who ______.A reads weather forecasts on radio or televisionB thinks there will be another ice ageC studies and knows about the weatherD believes there will be widespread floodingSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.Which of the following may be factors that affect the natural weather patterns?A Clouds.B The amount of heat the earth receives.C Man"s industrial and agricultural methods.D All of the above.SSS_SINGLE_SEL5.The best title for the text would be ______.A Droughts and FloodsB MeteorologistsC Changing ClimateD Solar HeatPassage 4The English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a **partment any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing (打盹) in a corner, and no one speaks. An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, "On entering a **partment shake hands with all the passengers." Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken,makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion etc. Of course, Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a **menting on the great beauty of a young girl. A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as "a marvelous jewel", while the Englishman will flatly state "Um, she"s all right." An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting, "It"s not bad." The overseas visitors must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest. They must realize that "all right", "not bad" are very often used with the sense of "first class", "excellent". This special use of language is **mon in English.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.One explanation for the different character of English people is that ______.A they are geographically isolated from the European continentB they have nothing to do with the other EuropeansC they like to keep quiet among their acquaintancesD they tend to be reserved by natureSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.The word "inhibited" (Line 2, Para. 2) in this passage probably means ______.A unable to have good mannersB unable to express and relax freelyC able to act properlyD able to talk freelySSS_SINGLE_SEL3.According to the passage, on entering a **partment, an overseasvisitor is expected to ______.A inquire about the code of behavior in the trainB shake hands with all the passengersC shake hands with the person he knowsD behave like an EnglishmanSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.The English way of commenting on something or somebody suggests that ______.A the English are modest in most circumstancesB the English feel no less than any other nationalityC the English tend to display less emotion than they feelD the English don"t take a strong interest in **mentSSS_SINGLE_SEL5.What does the passage mainly discuss?A The differences between the English and the other Europeans.B The different character of the Englishman and its reason.C The reasons for English people"s shyness.D The code of behavior of the nationalities in Europe.Part Ⅳ TranslationDirections:There are 10 sentences in this section. Please translate sentences 81-85 from Chinese into English, and translate sentences 86-90 from English into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.1.条条大道通罗马。

Reading Comprehension(50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneWhat do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy whit the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favorite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the place we’ve been and seen. We share d reams that only money can make real. In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo (禁忌). This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.(81) As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased their freedom, power and security by handling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?You’ll never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.41. Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money?A. The careers that bring us money.B. The causes we support.C. The dreams that only money can make real.D. Money itself.42. What can we know form from the second paragraph?A. We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.B. Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.C. The more money we earn, the more we should know about it.D. It is a shame that people talk too much about money.43. What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?A. People should learn how to make money.B. People should know the value of money.C. People should learn to control their money.D. People should know how to use money to increase their power.44. The wr iter’s advice is that .A. the more you talk about money, the more you can control itB. we should learn to be a good master of our money if we want to be powerful in lifeC. we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free lifeD. the more money you have, the more powerful you are45. What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. The importance of money.B. Money, power and security.C. The other steps for people to control moneyD. The steps for people make moneyPassage TwoA question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialist in an embarrassing because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record , but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span .(82) Unlike human beings , fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.46. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _____.A. sizeB. LifeC. ageD. variety47. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because______.A. he does not know the answerB. there is no answer to the questionC. it is a silly and simple question for himD. there is no definite answer to this question48.

It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.C. Mature fishes grow more quickly than young one.D. The specialist makes marking to know the rate of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.50. Human being, unlike fishes, __________.A. stop growing when they reach maturityB. grow faster after maturingC. Continue to grow as long as they liveD. have a short life spanPassage ThreeWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把----按能力分班) pupils . It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. (83) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways .The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignment, and they can to this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the stills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.51. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is __________.A. criticalB. approvingC. questioningD. objective52. By “held back” (line 1, Para .1) the author means ___________.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing53.

They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are distributed among buyers.The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the pricesof all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, includinglabor ,professional transportation, and public-utility services. The prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices of any particular product or service are linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less on everything else.If one were to ask randomly(随机地)a group of individuals to define“price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the buyer to the seller of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction(交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buy and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and the payment will be made, the form of money to on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors that comprise thetotal“package”being exchanged for the asked-for amount in order that they may evaluate a given price.56. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _________.A. labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services57. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT factor in the complete understanding of price?A. Instructions that come with a product.B. The quantity of a product.C.

In the last sentence of the passage, the word“they”r efers to ___.A. return privilegesB. all the factorsC. the buyer and the sellerD. money59. The paragraph following the passage likely discusses ___.A. unusual ways to advertise productB. types of payment plans for serviceC. theories about how products affect difficult levels of societyD. how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value60. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Inherent Weakness in the Price SystemB. The complexities of the Price SystemC. Credit Terms in TransactionsD. Resource Distribution and the Public SectorIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage.

They usually had several servants to 66 their houses and cook their meals.But there were also many poor people, and there was a big 67 between the rich and the poor.The poor had very difficult lives.

The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the 61 of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation”goes on 62 the level consciousness. At times,63 , we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running 64 difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between 65 and meaning. When successful matching is being 66 , our questioning of the text 67 at the unconscious level. Different people converse 68 the text differently. Some stay very 69 to the Words on the page; 70 take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. 71 represents a kind of comprehension which is Written in the text. The latter represents 72 levels of comprehension. The 73 between these is important, especially for the advanced reader.There is another conversation which from our point of 74 is equally important, And that is to 75 not with what is read but w ith how it is read . We call this a “process” conversation as76 to a“content”conversation. It is concerned not with meaning bur with the strategies we 77 in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well 78 . It is 79 this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are 80 to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a high level.61.
