I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 1 .
He had gone out of the study for some 2 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see 3 was on his desk. In the 4 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 5 “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.
A(n) 6 boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the 7 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 8 until the start of the exam so I could not 9 reading it.
When the headmaster 10 , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 11 then. It would have been so 12 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 13 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 14 it.”
The chance passed and I did not 15 it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t 16 to cheat, but it was still cheating anyhow.

A severe heatwave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44℃， the highest in 52 years, has killed at least 80 people this month, officials said on Sunday. The hot weather, which officials said would continue over northern, northwestern and central India in the next 48 hours, also may have some impact on wheat production, exporters and flour mill associations said.
New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7 ℃ on Saturday, indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India.The highest temperature in the past 24 hours was 47℃ at Ganganagar city, in Rajasthan state.Summer temperatures have been 4℃～6℃ above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March, weather officials said.
In the eastern state of Orissa, authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday.Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state.
“District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths”， Bhimsen Gochhayat, a government official said. Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states.
India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of wheat in 2009～2010, but there could be a shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons due to the heatwave, said Veena Sharma, Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India. “Most of the harvesting is over, but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons due to the extreme weather conditions”，she told Reuters.
India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output, the major summer sown grain, marred by the worst monsoon(季风) in 37 years last year. Weather officials said with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average, there were hopes of heavy rain at the start of the monsoon that would help early sowing of rice, soybeans and lentils.

参考答案
课时作业(六)
Ⅰ.1.D　第一个空考查belong的用法，belong为不及物动词，故应用where引导地点状语从句；第二个空考查定语从句，which引导定语从句，作介词for的宾语。
2．B　考查固定句型。there is no point (in) doing sth意为“做某事没有意义”。
3．D　考查动词辨析。语境表达“机上没有人幸免于难”，故选择survive “存活”。avoid 避开；escape 逃脱；miss 错过。
4．B　语境表达“他的健康状况仍然很差”，故选择remain。prove 证明是；maintain 维持；last 持续。
5．A　考查固定句型。there is no need to do sth意为“没有必要做某事”。
6．D　考查动词的时态和语态。design的动作应该是被动，所以排除主动的A项和B项。design的动作发生在过去，所以排除C选项。
7．C　考查动词的时态。句中前半句中的could 并非是过去时态，因此由后半句中的at the moment这一时间状语可确定时态应该用现在进行时。
8．C　考查动词的时态。第一空表示“(过去某个时间)幸存下来”，故用一般过去时；第二空表示“目前正在迅速恢复中”，所以用现在进行时。
9．A　考查特殊句式。根据前面there be 句里含有否定意义的词little，所以反意疑问句用肯定形式，其主谓应与陈述部分的主谓保持一致，故选A项。
10．A　考查动词短语辨析。句意：就像大部分简单的拼图游戏一样，把它拆开很容易，但是要拼回去就又是一回事了。take apart拆卸，拆开；build up逐渐获得，逐渐建立；set off`出发，动身；deal with处理，对付。
11．A　考查worth的用法。be worth doing “值得做……”，为固定用法，doing主动表示被动，且介词to要带上。
12．B　考查系表结构。remain是系动词，后面要接形容词构成系表结构。stuck是stick的过去分词所转换的形容词，故B正确。remain stuck滞留。
13．D　考查介词短语辨析。in all 共计；in fact实际上；in short 简而言之 ；in return 以……作为回报。根据句意选择D项。
14．D　考查介词短语辨析。in search of寻找；in favour of 支持； in memory of 为了纪念； in honour of 为了纪念。句意：在二十世纪九十年代，许多受过高等教育的年轻人去海南岛找工作。
15．B　考查情景交际。A项意为“别客气；没什么”；B项意为“不完全是”；C项意为“难怪”；D项意为“可以；好的”。句意：——那么你是把你的电话给了她？——不完全是。她说当她自己能买时就还给我。
Ⅱ.全国各地许多大学生毕业之后涌向北京找工作，那么他们的境况如何呢？《蚁族》一书向读者展现了他们鲜为人知的生活状况。
16．C　由第二段的第一句“The book，which is…”可知，《蚁族》是一本描绘了北漂大学毕业生生活的书。
17．A　who引导定语从句修饰some young people，who作从句的主语。
18．A　《蚁族》把大学生描述为像蚂蚁那样聪明。describe“描述”，符合语境。
19．B　这些北漂大学毕业生就像蚂蚁，头脑聪明，但是作为个体，他们微不足道。meaningless意为“无意义的，不重要的”，符合语境。
20．B　这本书是根据对北京约600位低收入大学毕业生历时两年的采访写成的。be based on意为“以……为基础(或根据)”。
21．D　这本书是9月中旬出版的。come out意为“出版”，符合语境。
22．C　由第三段中的“how many of these employed college graduates are leading a happy life”可知，截至9月1日，611万大学毕业生中74%的毕业生找到了工作。
23．B　由下一句“……这些找到了工作的大学毕业生当中，有多少生活过得幸福”可推知，上述统计资料基本没有反映出这些毕业生的真实处境。
24．A　Lian一直想知道，这些找到了工作的大学毕业生当中，有多少生活过得幸福。wonder意为“想知道”，符合语境。
25．A　Lian希望这本书能够成为一扇展现他们生活的窗户，他们的故事很少有人知道。
26．B　这本书以北京市郊的几个大学毕业生聚居村为背景。setting表示“(戏剧、小说等的)背景”，符合语境。
27．D　那里有许多大学毕业生。a large number of表示“许多”，修饰可数名词的复数，故D项正确。deal的用法为a great/good deal of，表示“许多”，修饰不可数名词；plenty不与冠词连用，plenty of表示“许多”；a large amount of表示“许多”，修饰不可数名词。
28．A　由下文可推知，这些大学毕业生多数在中小企业工作。故答案为A。
29．A　每月挣不到2000块钱。
30．C　由冒号后面的内容可知，他们住在一起是因为这样花钱少。
31．D　由下文“has around 3，000 ______ villagers”可知，唐家岭是一个小村庄。
32．A　由下文“but has become a home for more than 50，000 migrants”可知，外来人口已超过5万人，故大约3000人应是本地的村民。original意为“原来的，起初的”，与语境相符。
33．C　由上下文可知，5万多外来人口多数是全国各地高校的毕业生。graduate from意为“毕业于”。
34．B　这些学生住的都是当地农民修建的五六层高的楼房，每个房间在10平方米左右，两三个人挤一间。这里说的是学生住的地方，即宿舍。
35．A　多达七八十人共用一间卫生间和厨房。share“共用，合用”，符合语境，故选A。
Ⅲ.一场罕见的热浪席卷了印度，给其造成了巨大损失。
36．A　作者意图题。本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段第一句点明了文章的中心话题，根据本句内容可知文章的目的是报道一条关于热浪席卷印度的新闻。
37．D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的开头部分可知印度的小麦喜获丰收；最后一段的开头部分提到印度正依靠小麦丰产来弥补大米产量降低14.2%的损失，由此可推知印度的大米产量在下降。
38．B　词义猜测题。大米是印度最主要的夏季种植的农作物，去年受37年来最严重的季风的“毁坏”，产量下降14.2%。故选B项。
39．C　主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段是文章的中心段，根据该段内容可知文章主要讲的是一场严重的热浪席卷印度后对其造成的巨大损失。
Ⅳ.40.heard　41.If　42.burned/burnt　43.its　44.for
45．Officials　46.checked　47.failed　48.correct　49.hands
课后阅读---------- Who's who 真假难辨
It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire-brigade to put out a non-existent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in. Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims.
When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.
The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a pay phone. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.
谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。大学生擅长一种特殊的恶作剧——戏弄人。请消防队来扑灭一场根本没有的大火是一种低级骗局，有自尊心的大学生决不会去做。大学生们常常做的是制造一种可笑的局面，除了受害者大家都觉得非常滑稽。
最近有个学生看见两个工人在大学校门外用风钻干活，马上打电话报告警察，说有两个学生装扮成工人，正在用风钻破坏路面。挂上电话后，他又马上来到工人那儿，告诉他们若有个警察来让他们走开，不要把他当回事；还对工人说，有个学生常装扮成警察无聊地同别人开玩笑。警察与工人都对那个学生事先通报情况表示感谢。
那学生躲在附近一拱形门廊里，在那儿可以看见、听到现场发生的一切。果然，警察来了，有礼貌地请工人离开此地；但其中一个工人粗鲁地回了几句。于是警察威胁要强行使他们离开。工人说，悉听尊便。警察去打电话叫人。一会儿工夫，又来了4个警察，规劝工人离开。由于工人拒绝停下手中的活，警察想夺风钻。两个工人奋力抗争，其中一个发了火，威胁说要去叫警察。警察听后讥讽地说，这大可不必，因为他俩已被逮捕了。其中一个工人装模作样地问道，在被带往警察局之前，是否可以打一个电话。警察同意了，陪他来到一个投币电话前。当他看到那个工人真的是给警察挂电话，才恍然大悟，原来他们都成了一场骗局的受害者。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a preschooler(学龄前儿童)：
Develop social skills
As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy(同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.
Build self confidence
Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers(摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Boost intellectual growth
Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound(堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.
Practice language skills
Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.
Work out fears
Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent(发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹)．
To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.

Cellphones: is there a cancer link
Could your cellphone give you cancer Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there's a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病). Also there's a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It's apparent now that there's a real risk，” said Carpenter.
But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don't support warning labels for cellphones，” said Linet. “We don't have the evidence that there's much danger.”
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs(电磁场) and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It's funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don't suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.
20．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________．
A．they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer
B．they make a fuss over cellphone use
C．some experts have given a warning
D．cellphones are responsible for brain tumors
21．By saying “I don't support warning labels for cellphones，” Dr Martha Linet has the idea that________．
A．the worrying is unnecessary
B．cancer warning labels should be on cellphones
C．there is a link between cellphones and cancer
D．cellphones have nothing to do with cancer
22．The underlined word “underway” is closest in meaning to________．
A．started B．kept on
C．gone on D．in progress
23．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate
A．Optimistic. B．Objective.
C．Disapproving. D．Casual.

参考答案
课时作业(十)
Ⅰ.1.C　考查定语从句。句意：这些旧照片把他们的思绪带回到他们一起度过的大学时光，那时生活艰苦但很愉快。此题考查the college days为先行词的两个定语从句。第一空：which在从句中作spent的宾语；第二空：when在定语从句中作状语。
2．C　考查介词的用法。be familiar with… 表示“对……熟悉，通晓”，多以人作主语；be familiar to…表示“为……所熟悉”，表示被动含义，多以事物作主语，人作宾语。
3．A　考查虚拟语气。由句意“没有你的慷慨相助，我就不可能度过那段艰难的时光”可知，应用A项表示对已经发生过的事情的相反意义的假设。
4．A　考查非谓语动词。第一空因pretend和主语the detective之间是主动关系，故用现在分词；第二空seat作“坐”解时，用过去分词作宾补。
5．A　考查动词辨析。 attach importance to 为固定搭配，意为“重视”。句意：最近几年，父母非常重视他们孩子的教育。attract吸引；attack袭击；assign 分配，指派。
6．D　考查形容词词义辨析。句意：孩子的眼睛对于光线比成人更为敏感，所以母亲不能让婴儿的眼睛直视亮的光源，如浴霸。familiar熟悉的；available可得到的，可利用的；contradictory矛盾的；sensitive敏感的，灵敏的。
7．C　考查非谓语动词。broadcast为过去分词作定语，表示“被播报”。
8．B　考查动词辨析。句意：著名运动员在广告中替厂家宣传服装和器械，可获得巨额报酬。 earn “赚得”，符合句意。
9．C　考查介词短语辨析。A项意为“为了表达对某人的敬意”；B项意为“需要”；C项意为“万一”；D项意为“以……的形式”。句意：万一发生火灾，很多人会不知所措。
10．C　考查固定搭配。make jokes on sb“拿某人开玩笑”。句意：据我所知，他是个严肃的人，因此你最好别开他的玩笑。
11．B　考查动词短语辨析。A项意为“服侍；伺候”；B项意为“依靠；依赖”；C项意为“坚持”；D项意为“打开”。句意：……你不能总是依靠别人帮你做作业……

14．D　考查定语从句。关系代词which指代先行词novels，且本句为非限制性定语从句，排除that，所以选择which。
15．A　考查情景对话。句意：——Jones! Roy打坏了玻璃。——没关系。这样的事情时有发生。
Ⅱ.A
这是一篇应用文，介绍想象力对儿童的益处，最后说明培养孩子想象力的方法——给孩子读书。
16．D　细节理解题。从最后两段可知，要让孩子提高想象力，最好的办法就是多读书给他们。这里并没有说可以帮助他们养成阅读故事的好习惯。用排除法也可解答该题。从“Develop social skills”部分可知A项表述正确；从“Work out fears”部分可知B项表述正确；而C项与“Build self confidence”部分的信息一致。
17．A　词义猜测题。结合该段的内容，即丰富的想象力带给儿童的又一好处，例如，可以帮助孩子进行抽象思考等，因此，可推知该段标题的意思是“促进智力发育”，故选A。
18．C　推理判断题。依据该段第一句话推断Peter Pan的故事一直深受儿童喜爱。其余选项则与原文不符。
19．A　写作意图题。本篇文章采用“总——分”的写作方式，从文章第一段即可判断这篇文章的写作目的。
B
文章讲述的是关于手机等辐射是否对人体有害的各方观点。

21．A　推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，该专家认为没有任何证据可以证明辐射可以对人体造成伤害。
22．D　词义猜测题。根据文章可知此词意为“在进行中”。

Ⅲ.One possible version：
Dear Jack，
Thank you very much for your invitation.
I'd love to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I'm sorry to inform you that I can't. The reason is that I, together with my classmates, am busy preparing for the coming National College Entrance Examination, which is very important for me. I strongly recommend my friend Anna, who is the most suitable choice to take my place next month. She began to learn painting at an early age and has a good knowledge of traditional Chinese painting. I'm sure that her active personality and perfect spoken English will help make your activity a success.
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wishes to you.
Yours，
Li Hua
Lesson 38 The first calender 最早的日历
Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates. What is more, they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Films, videos, CDs and CD-ROMS are just some of the bewildering amount of information they will have. They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action. But the historian attempting to reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task. He has to deduce what he can from the few scanty clues available. Even seemingly insignificant remains can shed interesting light on the history of early man.
Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came into being with the advent of agriculture, for then man was faced with a real need to understand something about the seasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect.
Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols which have been engraved on walls, bones, and the ivory tusks of mammoths. The nomads who made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon. It is, in fact, a primitive type of calendar. It has long been known that the hunting scenes depicted on walls were not simply a form of artistic expression. They had a definite meaning, for they were as near as early man could get to writing. It is possible that there is a definite relation between these paintings and the markings that sometimes accompany them. It seems that man was making a real effort to understand the seasons 20,000 years earlier than has been supposed.
未来的历史学家在写我们这一段历史的时候会别具一格。对于逐渐积累起来的庞大材料，他们几乎不知道选取哪些好，而且，也不必完全依赖文字材料。电影、录像、光盘和光盘驱动器只是能为他们提供令人眼花缭乱的大量信息的几种手段。他们能够身临其境般地观看我们做事，倾听我们讲话。但是，历史学家企图重现遥远的过去可是一项艰巨的任务，他们必须根据现有的不充分的线索进行推理。即使看起来微不足道的遗物，也可能揭示人类早期历史的一些有趣的内容。
历史学家迄今认为日历是随农业的问世而出现的，因为当时人们面临着了解四季的实际需要，但近期科学研究发现，好像这种假设是不正确的。
长期以来，历史学家一直对雕刻在墙壁上、骨头上、古代长毛象的象牙上的点、线和形形色色的符号感到困惑不解。这些痕迹是游牧人留下的，他们生活在从公元前约35，000年到公元前10，000年的冰川期的末期，以狩猎、捕鱼为生。历史学家通过把世界各地留下的这种痕迹放在一起研究，终于弄懂了这种费解的代码。他们发现代码与昼夜更迭和月亮圆缺有关，事实上是一种最原始的日历。大家早就知道，画在墙上的狩猎图景并不是单纯的艺术表现形式，它们有着一定的含义，因为它们已接近古代人的文字形式。有时，这种图画与墙壁上的刻痕共存，它们之间可能有一定的联系。看来人类早就致力于探索四季变迁了，比人们想像的要早20,000年。

US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the red planet hosted life.
The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1，500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.
“This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars，” said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.
“The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”
Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon(溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing(使淤积) sediment(沉积物) which formed a delta(三角洲)．
“Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us”， said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.
Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.
The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.
Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.
16．The size of the lake found on Mars is ________．
A．80 square miles
B．1，500 square miles
C．3.4 billion square miles
D．300 million square miles
17．When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ________．
A．hot and wet B．wet and warm
C．cold and dry D．cold and wet
18．Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars
A．Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.
B．Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.
C．Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.
D．Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.
19．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A．The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.
B．The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.
C．The discovery can't fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.
D．The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.
B
Yawning is so contagious(具有传染性的) that chimpanzees can “catch” it from cartoons, according to research.
Scientists from Emory University in Atlanta，US, have discovered that a cartoon of a yawning chimp will stimulate(刺激) real chimps to yawn. They describe in the Royal Society journal，Proceedings B，how this could assist in the future study of empathy(同感，共鸣)．The work could also help explain if and how computer games might cause children to imitate what they see on screen.
Previous studies have already shown contagious yawning in chimpanzees—stimulated by video recorded footage of yawns.
“We wanted to expand on that，” explained Matthew Campbell，a researcher from Emory University's Yerkes National Primate Research Center and lead author of the study.“We're interested in using cartoons for presenting stimuli to animals, because we can control all the features of what we show them，” he continued.
Although Dr Campbell doesn't think the chimps were “fooled” by the cartoons into thinking they were looking at real chimps, he explained that there was evidence that chimpanzees “process animated(动画的) faces the same way they process photographs of faces”．
He said, “It's not a real chimpanzee，but it kind of looks like a chimpanzee, and they're responding to that.”
He and his team, including Devyn Carter who designed the cartoons, showed the animals the yawning sequences.
“We also had the cartoons doing other movements with their mouths that the chimps often do，” he said.“The chimps showed a lot more yawning during the yawn video than when the control videos were playing.”
He told BBC News that the only way he and his colleagues could explain the “very strong difference” they saw was that seeing the yawns was making the animals yawn.
20．According to the passage, the scientists have found that ________．
A．yawning is a contagious facial expression among chimps
B．chimps will imitate a cartoon chimp who is yawning
C．chimps are able to understand cartoons very well
D．chimps like watching cartoons very much
21．According to the passage we can learn that ________．
A．yawning on both cartoon videos and pictures can make chimps yawn
B．Devyn Carter led the study about contagious yawning
C．children will also be stimulated to yawn by the videos of chimps
D．people can control all the features of animals through cartoons
22．By studying the action of chimps, the scientists hope to ________．
A．teach them more body language of human beings
B．learn how chimps use their brains to study
C．control the actions and behaviors of animals
D．create more charming cartoon characters
23．The passage is mainly talking about ________．
A．a serious research about chimps' body language
B．those contagious gestures of animals
C．why children imitate what they see on TV
D．a study about chimps' ability of imitating

13．A　根据问句中的broken down可知，这两国间有可能发生武装冲突。be likely to do sth 很可能会做某事。注意：四个选项中，只有likely是形容词，在这里用作表语。
14．D　考查冠词的用法。at ease(舒适、快活、自由自在)和lose face(丢脸)都是固定搭配，名词前均不加冠词。
15．D　考查交际用语。句意：“她会介意与她之前的队友们对垒吗？”“不会！她喜欢与任何强劲的选手比赛。”I think so.我想是这样的。I'm not surprised.一点也不奇怪。Of course.当然。Not likely！(大概)不会！此处表示不介意，所以选择D。

课后阅读----------The power of the press 新闻报道的威力
In democratic countries any efforts to restrict the freedom of the Press are rightly condemned. However, this freedom can easily be abused. Stories about people often attract far more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful whether we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves. Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.
The story of a poor family that acquired fame and fortune overnight, dramatically illustrates the power of the press. The family lived in Aberdeen, a small town of 23, 000 inhabitants in South Dakota. As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty. They were expecting their sixth child and were faced with even more pressing economic problems. If they had only had one more child, the fact would have passed unnoticed. They would have continued to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity. But they suddenly became the parents of quintuplets, four girls and a boy, an event which radically changed their lives. The day after the birth of the five children, an aeroplane arrived in Aberdeen bringing sixty reporters and photographers.
The rise to fame was swift. Television cameras and newspapers carried the news to everyone in the country. Newspapers and magazines offered the family huge sums for the exclusive rights to publish stories and photographs. Gifts poured in not only from unknown people, but from baby food and soap manufacturers who wished to advertise their products. The old farmhouse the family lived in was to be replaced by a new ＄500, 000 home. Reporters kept pressing for interviews so lawyers had to be employed to act as spokesmen for the family at press conferences. While the five babies were still quietly sleeping in oxygen tents in a hospital nursery, their parents were paying the price for fame. It would never again be possible for them to lead normal lives. They had become the victims of commercialization, for their names had acquired a market value. Instead of being five new family members, these children had immediately become a commodity.
在民主国家里，任何限制新闻自由的企图都理所当然地受到谴责。然而，这种自由很容易被滥用。常人轶事往往比政治事件更能引起公众注意。我们都喜欢看关于别人生活的报道，但是否同样喜欢看关于自己生活的报道，就很难说了。记者按事实至上的论点行事，发表有关别人私生活的细节，有时会给当事人造成极大的痛苦。新闻具有巨大的威力。它们不仅可以给寻常人家的生活带来重大的变化，甚至还能推翻一个政府。
下面这户穷人一夜之间出名发财的故事戏剧性地说明了新闻报道的威力。这户人家住在南达科他州一个人口为23，000的小镇上，镇名为阿拜丁。家里已有5个孩子，全家人常年在贫困中挣扎。第6个孩子即将问世，他们面临着更为严峻的经济问题。如果他们只是添了1个孩子，这件事本来就不会引起任何人的注意。这家人会继续为克服经济上的拮据而奋斗，并默默无闻地活下去。但是他们出人意料地生了个五胞胎，4女1男。这事使他们的生活发生了根本的变化。五胞胎降生第二天，一架飞机飞抵阿拜丁，随机带来60名记者与摄影师。
这一家迅速出了名。电视摄像机和报纸把消息传送到全国。报纸、杂志出高价向他们购买文字、图片的独家报道权。不但素昧平生的人寄来了大量的礼物，而且婴儿食品、婴儿肥皂制造厂商为了替自己产品做广告也寄来了大量的礼物。这家人住的旧农舍将由一座价值50万美元的新住宅所取代。由于记者纷纷要求会见，他们不得不请了律师充当他们家的发言人举行记者招待会。眼下，五胞胎还静静地躺在医院婴儿室的氧气帐里，他们的父母却为这名声付出了代价，他们再也无法过正常的生活。他们成了商业化的受害者，因为他们的名字具有了市场价值。这些孩子立即成了商品，而不是5个新的家庭成员。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
On Sundays my father always wore that black apron—the one with the race cars all over it. After breakfast Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I'll take care of the dishes！” With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtsleeves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”？
I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—but I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”， he said，“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities．” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.
I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.
People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.
16．What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph
A．To show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes.
B．To instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes.
C．To emphasize his father's clumsy way of doing dishes.
D．To stress the enjoyment and happiness of his father's doing dishes.
17．What does the underlined word “responsibilities” in the second paragraph refer to
A．Taking care of the brothers.
B．Making progress academically.
C．Doing all the dishes.
D．Washing the apron with race cars.
18．What did the author mean by saying “People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son” in the fourth paragraph
A．Mind acts upon mind.
B．Like father like son.
C．A child is better unborn than untaught.
D．Obedience is the first duty of a boy.
19．How did the author feel at the end of the passage
A．Proud. B．Enjoyable.
C．Surprised. D．Regretful.
B
All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …
Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources(revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse(细读). Tokyo's National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1，236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.
A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.
The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books—an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300 page publication and continues to drop.
20．The best title for this passage would be “________”．
A．Three Benefits of Libraries
B．Libraries Going Digital
C．Space saving E learning
D．Security of Electronic Reading
21．Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea
A．Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 B．Paragraphs 3 and 4
C．Paragraphs 2 and 4 D．Paragraph 4
22．Which one of the following is mentioned as an advantage of e libraries
A．Old manuscripts can be moved more easily.
B．Materials can be examined without being touched.
C．Fewer staff will be required in libraries.
D．Libraries will be able to move underground.
23．What does the word “scrutinize” probably mean
A．Keep for a while. B．Reprint.
C．Restore. D．Examine carefully.
Ⅲ.短文填词

The experience of singing and chatting 24.________ English gave me the feeling that English is a beautiful language, 25.________ can bring people a lot of joy. At that time, English was indeed a very good friend to me. After I 26.________ (上学) middle school, I began to find English learning wasn't so 27.e________.

参考答案
课时作业
Ⅰ.1.C　考查冠词的用法。第一空特指2012年伦敦奥运会；第二空考查抽象名词具体化，此处指“一个震惊的消息”。
2．D　考查情态动词。could have done表示“本来可能而实际未……”。根据句意应选D。
3．C　考查非谓语动词。句意：地震之后，那个可怜的女孩被发现埋在一个教堂的废墟下。
4．A　考查连词。句意：杰克什么都没说，但是老师对他微笑着，好像他做了件很明智的事情。as if意为“好像，似乎”，根据语境可知，A项正确。
5．B　考查动词不定式的用法。动词seem接动词不定式构成seem to结构，故首先排除A、D两项。再结合语境可知，此处描写的是我们目前的状况，故用动词不定式的进行式表示目前正在发生的事情或所处的状态。即B项正确。
6．C　考查动词辨析。根据前一句中的内容可知父母想给孩子提供“庇护”，让他们避免各种危险，无论是真实的还是想象的。A项表示“认出；发现”；B项表示“开除；解散”；D项表示“区分”，都不符合语意。
7．B　考查“remain ＋v. ed”的用法。由语境可知，工人是被困的，所以用trapped。
8．C　考查动词辨析。ruin破坏， 毁灭。句意：根据最近的一项调查，压力过大和长时间的工作正在破坏许多人的健康。hurt伤害(感情)；injure伤害，损害(感情)，损害(名誉)；desert放弃，抛弃。
9．B　考查动词的时态和语态。截止到被发现已经被埋藏了千年，故用过去完成时态，且使用被动语态。

11．D　考查动词短语辨析。give out分发，符合句意。 give off散发，放出； give in屈服；give up放弃。
12．A　考查介词短语辨析。句意：王女士给这个无家可归的人提供食物和水，而不是把他看作社会的羞耻。 instead of “代替……，而不是……”，其后接名词、动名词等； as a result of 由于； in the event of 在……关头； regardless of 不顾，不管。
13．C　考查主谓一致。a large number of…作主语，谓语动词用复数，由Nowadays可知，时态为一般现在时。
14．B　考查非谓语动词。to be improved 用作补语，表示尚未发生的动作。our speaking and writing skills leave much to be improved 意为“我们的说和写的能力有待于极大提高”。
15．C　考查交际用语。根据答语中的反意疑问部分可知前半句是否定句，由此可排除前两项。C项的意思是“问一下没关系”，符合语境。
Ⅱ.A
一条黑色的围裙，一对心照不宣的父子，维系着一个无比温馨的家庭。
16．D　推理判断题。下一句提到作者的父亲一边唱歌一边洗刷餐具，再结合本段中他所说的话可推测这三个倒装句是为了强调作者的父亲非常享受这个过程，乐在其中。
17．C　词义猜测题。根据下文中的“Starting today，I want you to do the dishes…”可知画线词指的是“洗刷所有的餐具”。
18．A　推理判断题。下一句提到正当作者要冲出来时，作者的父亲拿着那件旧围裙来到了厨房，由此可推出两人“心有灵犀一点通”。后三项分别表示“有其父必有其子”、“养不教，父之过”、“男孩以服从命令为天职”，都不符合语境。
19．B　推理判断题。最后一段最后提到作者也效仿父亲的做法，边唱那首歌曲边洗刷餐具，由此可推断作者感到非常“愉快”。

课后阅读--------Illusions of Pastoral Peace 宁静田园生活的遐想
The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me. City born and city bred, I have always regarded the country as something you look at through a train window, or something you occasionally visit during the weekend. Most of my friends live in the city, yet they always go into raptures at the mere mention of the country. Though they extol the virtues of the peaceful life, only one of them has ever gone to live in the country and he was back in town within six months. Even he still lives under the illusion that country life is somehow superior to town life. He is forever talking about the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene is only part of the picture. My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV ---- virtually the only form of entertainment. He says nothing about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond me. They could be saved so much misery and expense if they chose to live in the city where they rightly belong.
If you can do without the few pastoral pleasures of the country, you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer. You never have to travel miles to see your friends. They invariably live nearby and are always available for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of my acquaintances in the country come up to town once or twice a year to visit the theatre as a special treat. For them this is a major operation which involves considerable planning. As the play draws to its close, they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home. The city dweller never experiences anxieties of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best. Country people run wild when they go shopping in the city and stagger home loaded with as many of the exotic items as they can carry. Nor is the city without its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked away in their homes in the country. It has always been a mystery to me why city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to live in the country.
宁静的乡村生活从来没有吸引过我。我生在城市，长在城市，总认为乡村是透过火车车窗看到的那个样子，或偶尔周末去游玩一下的景象。我的许多朋友都住在城市，但他们只要一提起乡村，马上就会变得欣喜若狂。尽管他们都交口称赞宁静的乡村生活的种种优点，但其中只有一人真去农村住过，而且不足6个月就回来了。即使他也仍存有幻觉，好像乡村生活就是比城市生活优越。他滔滔不绝地大谈友好的农民，洁净的空气，贴近大自然的环境和悠闲的生活节奏。他坚持认为，凌晨雄鸡第一声啼叫，黎明时分小鸟吱喳欢叫，冉冉升起的朝阳染红树木、牧场，此番美景无与伦比。但这种田园诗般的乡村风光仅仅是一个侧面。我的朋友没有提到在电视机前度过的漫长寂寞的冬夜——电视是唯一的娱乐形式。他也不说商店货物品种单调，以及那些每天不得不从乡下赶到城里工作的不幸的人们。人们为什么情愿每天在路上奔波4个小时去换取值得怀疑的乡间的优点，我是无法理解的。要是他们愿意住在本来属于他们的城市，则可以让他们省去诸多不便与节约大量开支。
如果你愿舍弃乡下生活那一点点乐趣的话，那么你会发现城市可以为你提供生活中最美好的东西。你去看朋友根本不用跋涉好几英里，因为他们都住在附近，你随时可以同他们聊天或在晚上一起娱乐。我在乡村有一些熟人，他们每年进城来看一回或几回戏，并把此看作一种特殊的享受。看戏在他们是件大事，需要精心计划。当戏快演完时，他们又为是否能赶上末班火车回家而犯愁。这种焦虑，城里人是从未体验过的。坐公共汽车几站路，就可看到最新的展览、电影、戏剧。买东西也是一种乐趣。物品品种繁多，从来不必用二等品来凑合。乡里人进城采购欣喜若狂，每次回家时都买足了外来商品，直到拿不动方才罢休，连走路都摇摇晃晃的。城市也并非没有良辰美景。寒冷潮湿的冬夜里，广告灯箱发出的暖光，会给人某种安慰。周末，当成千上万进城上班的人回到了他们的乡间寓所之后，空旷的街市笼罩着一种宁静的气氛，没有什么能比此时的宁静更令人难忘了。城里人对这一切心里很明白，却偏要执拗地装出他们喜欢住在乡村的样子，这对我来说一直是个谜。

A
When 47 year old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain's Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”， few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you.No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed，“I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical(愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wake up call ever.”
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.
Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet.
16．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle ________．
A．rose from a low social class
B．had an unhappy marriage
C．lived with a dog alone on a farm
D．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show
17．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody ________．
A．looked forward to her wonderful performance
B．was attracted by her beautiful dress
C．looked down upon her
D．placed great hope on her
18．We can infer that ________ contributed most to her global popularity.
A．the judges B．the Internet
C．the newspaper D．the advertisement
19．The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us ________．
A．how Susan Boyle achieved her success
B．the comment made by American actor Ashton Kutcher
C．Susan Boyle's influence in the USA
D．Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan Boyle
B
The class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their heads to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a screen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.
Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200 student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”
Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.
Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.
Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go around singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a C average to an A.
In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to inspire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”．Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.
20．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been ________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.
A．a popular teacher 　B．a music teacher
C．a mathematics teacher 　D．a famous singer
21．LaMar Queen has won a national award because ________．
A．he is good at composing rap songs
B．his new musical production was shown on TV
C．he created a unique teaching method in math
D．he gave students a lot of confidence
22．We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ________．
A．Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the students
B．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rap
C．Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at math
D．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping
23．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ________．
A．society 　B．education
C．entertainment 　D．biography

课后阅读---------Speed and comfort 又快捷又舒适
People, traveling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky enough to get a sleeper, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling, or fumbling to find your ticket for inspection. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on roads with few service stations and too much traffic. By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, meet interesting people and enjoy good food----always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, and you are likely to get sea-sick, no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure of travelling by sea.
Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being an expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. Travelling at a height of 30, 000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to your destination rapidly. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey.
出远门的人常常需要决定是走旱路、水路，还是坐飞机。很少有人能够真正喜欢坐几个小时以上的火车。车厢很快就变得拥挤、闷热，想摆脱开旅途的困扰是很难的。看书只能解决部分问题。车轮与铁轨间单调的嘎喳声很快就会送你进入梦乡。白天是忽睡忽醒，到了夜晚，你真想睡了，却很难入睡。即使你走运弄到一个卧铺，夜间有一半时间你会盯着车顶那盏小蓝灯而睡不着觉；要不然就为查票摸索你的车票。一旦抵达目的地，你总是疲惫不堪。乘汽车作长途旅行则更加不舒服，因为连看书都几乎不可能。在公路上还好，你至少能以相当快的速度安全地向前行。但旅行的大部分时间都花在路上，而且只有很少的服务设施，交通也很拥挤。相比之下，坐船旅行或环游可以得到文明世界的各种享受。你可以在甲板上伸展四肢、做游戏，还能见到各种有趣的人，能享用各种美味佳肴——当然，这一切只有在大海风平浪静的情况下才有可能。如果大海肆虐起来，你就可能晕船，那种难受劲儿是任何一种别的旅行方式都不会带来的。即便风平浪静，坐船旅行也要占用很长时间。没有多少人会为了享受坐船旅行的乐趣而牺牲假期的时间。
飞机以危险而著称，连老资格的旅行者也怕飞机。飞机的另一个缺点是昂贵。但就速度与舒适而言，飞机是无与伦比的。腾云驾雾，在3万英尺高空以500英里的时速旅行，这种经历令人心旷神怡。你不必想办法去摆脱旅途的困扰，因为飞机会迅速地把你送到目的地。几小时之内，你躺在扶手椅上，享受着旅途的欢乐。真正会享受的人还可以在某些航班上看一场电影和喝香槟。即使没有这些消遣条件，也总是有事可做。飞机上，你可以观察世界上非同寻常的奇妙的美景。你毫不费劲地飞越高山幽谷，你确能饱览大地的风貌。如果这种景色被遮住了，你便可以观赏一下展现在你面前的、一望数英里的、连绵不断的云海，同时阳光灿烂，天空清澈明朗。旅途平稳，丝毫不妨碍你阅读或睡眠。不管你打算如何消磨时间，有件事是可以肯定的，即当你抵达目的地时，你感到精神焕发，毫无倦意，用不着因为漫长旅途的辛苦而花几天时间休息来恢复精神。

One possible version：
Recently, our class have had a heated discussion on whether college students should run online shops.
Some students think that college students have not only enough spare time but also rich experience in online shopping. Besides, they know the trend of fashion very well, which is helpful for their jobs in the future.
Others, however, hold the opposite view that running online shops will waste a lot of time, which can definitely affect their studies. What's more, it is easier for them to fail in the business owing to the lack of experience. As a result, the failure will have a lasting influence on them.
In my opinion, college students should focus on studies first. After all, running an online shop requires much time and energy. College students should devote most of their time to studying instead of making money.
Yours truly，
Li Hua

American children aren't the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70，000 teens in 34 nations.
From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children weren't getting enough exercise and that it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country.“With regards to physical activities levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries，” Guthold said.“Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activities.”The study was published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looking at 72，845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from North and South America, Asia, Europe，and the Middle East. The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007.
The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games, or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.
The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.
Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities.
People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity Guthold speculated(推测)that urbanization(都市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs.
16．If you are sedentary, you________．
A．are a diligent student spending much time doing homework
B．have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every day
C．like watching TV and playing computer games
D．spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving
17．Which statement is TRUE about the finding of the study, led by Regina Guthold
A．Most children around the world don't meet the exercise recommendation.
B．Girls in every country are no more active than boys.
C．Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities.
D．Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.
18．Which could be the best title of the passage
A．American children are addicted to TVs and computers
B．Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoes
C．Effects of physical activities on health
D．Unimaginable standard of physical health
19．What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the following paragraphs
A．The suitable amount of physical activities for students.
B．Some of the factors for the popularity of cars and TVs among the kids.
C．The reasons behind the lack of physical activities.
D．The ways to make the most of physical activities.

Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.
Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.
A new generation of parents need to discover the meaning of “quality time”， researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time—spending productive time with children vs. just being around，” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than “passive monitoring”， such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.
“This_time_with_children_pays_off，” Brandon says. He notes that good parent child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.
As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.
Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The trade off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid，” he says, “You're taking away time from other things.”
20．The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that ________．
A．technology lets parents work at home
B．parents are satisfied with their work
C．technology makes our lives much easier
D．the family time is not always satisfying
21．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________．
A．some families are not experiencing quality time
B．it's enough for parents to stay with their children
C．parents enjoy engaging in work at home activities
D．working hours at home can transform into quality time
22．According to Brandon, the quality time means ________．

课后阅读---------Too high a price 代价太高？
Pollution is the price we pay for an overpopulated, over industrialized planet. When you come to think about it, there are only four ways you can deal with rubbish: dump it, burn it, turn it into something you can use again, attempt to produce less of it. We keep trying all four methods, but he sheer volume of rubbish we produce worldwide threatens to overwhelm us.
Rubbish, however, is only part of the problem of polluting our planet. The need to produce ever-increasing quantities of cheap food leads to a different kind of pollution. Industrialized farming methods produce cheap meat products: beef, pork and chicken. The use of pesticides and fertilizers produces cheap grain and vegetables. The price we pay for cheap food may be already too high: Mad Cow Disease (BSE) in cattle, salmonella in chicken and eggs, and wisteria in dairy products. And if you think you'll abandon meat and become a vegetarian, you have the choice of very expensive organically-grown vegetables or a steady diet of pesticides every time you think you're eating fresh salads and vegetables, or just having an innocent glass of water!
However, there is an even more insidious kind of pollution that particularly affects urban areas and invades our daily lives, and that is noise. Burglar alarms going off at any time of the day or night serve only to annoy passers-by and actually assist burglars to burgle. Car alarms constantly scream at us in the street and are a source of profound irritation. A recent survey of the effects of noise revealed (surprisingly ) that dogs barking incessantly in the night rated the highest form of noise pollution on a scale ranging from 1 to 7. The survey revealed a large number of sources of noise that we really dislike. Lawn mowers whining on a summer's day, late-night parties in apartment blocks, noisy neighbors, vehicles of al kinds, especially large container trucks thundering through quiet village, planes and helicopters flying overhead, large radios carried round in public places and played at maximum volume. New technology has also made its own contribution to noise. A lot of people object to mobile phones, especially when they are used in public places like restaurants or on public transport. Loud conversations on mobile phones invade our thoughts or interrupt the pleasure of meeting friends for a quiet chat. The noise pollution survey revealed a rather spurring and possibly amusing old fashioned source of noise. It turned out to be snoring! Men were found to be the worst offenders. It was revealed that 20% of men in their mid-thirties snore. This figure rises to a staggering 60% of men in their sixties. Against these figures, it was found that only 5% of women snore regularly, while the rest are constantly woken or kept awake by their trumpeting partners. Whatever the source of noise, one thing is certain: silence, it seems, has become a golden memory.
污染就是我们为这个人口过密，过度工业化的星球所付出的代价。当我们开始考虑垃圾问题时，我们只有4种对付垃圾的方法：倾倒、焚烧、把垃圾变成再生材料或试图少产生一些垃圾。我们一直在试这4种方式，但是，我们在世界范围内仅产生的垃圾的量就有把我们覆盖的危险。
然而，垃圾只是我们这个星球的污染问题的一个方面。日益增长的对廉价食物的需求导致了另一种形式的污染。工业化的农作方式生产出廉价的肉类制品——牛肉、猪肉和鸡肉。使用杀虫剂和化肥生产出廉价的谷物和蔬菜。为了廉价食物我们付出代价已经太高了：牛肉中的疯牛病，鸡肉和鸡蛋中的沙门氏菌，奶制品中的利斯特杆菌。如果你想放弃肉类而变成一位素食者，那么你可以两者择一：或是选用价格昂贵、有机培植的蔬菜，或是当你认为在享用新鲜色拉和新鲜蔬菜或饮用一杯无害的水的时候，实际上每次都不断吃进杀虫剂。
但是，还有一种更加隐蔽有害的污染，它专门影响城镇地区，侵袭我们的日常生活，那就是噪音。防盗警报器在白天和黑夜的任何时候都会响起来，它的作用只是骚扰过路行人，而实际上却帮助窃贼入室行窃。在街上，汽车的防盗警报不断对我们吼叫，这是人们极度烦燥的一个原因，最近一个有关噪音的作用的调查（令人吃惊地）指出，夜间连续不断的狗叫声，在一个从1级至7级刻度表上应列为最严重的噪间污染。这个调查揭示了我们所不喜欢的大量的噪间的来源：夏天呜呜作响的割草机，公寓楼里深夜聚会的喧哗声，大声吵闹的邻居，各式各样的车辆，特别是穿越寂静的村庄的集装箱卡车，从头顶飞过的飞机和直升机，被带到公共场所、音量开到最大的大功率收音机。新技术也为噪音作了它的贡献。许多人都反对移动式电话，特别是在如饭店，公共交通车等公共场所使用移动电话。用移动电话大声交谈干扰我们的思路，破坏我们和朋友在一起轻声聊天所得到的乐趣。这个有关噪音的污染调查还揭示了一种出人意外而同时可能会引人意外而同时可能会引人发笑的老式噪音源。它竟然是鼾声。人类是这方面的罪魁祸首。调查指出，20%的35岁左右的男人打鼾；而到60岁这个年龄段，这个数字上升到令人惊愕的60%。与这些数字相比，只有5% 的女性经常打鼾；而其余则经常被与她们同睡、像吹号似地打着呼噜的男人吵醒或弄得睡不着。不管噪声来自何方，有一点是肯定的：看来寂静已变成一种珍贵的回忆。
