－A－

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.

Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.

Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of

their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.

Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are quite new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.

People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace (体面).

21.What does the writer NOT tell us in the passage? A. Sports change with the season. B. Basketball was invented in America. C. Football is played all over the world.

D. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities.

22.Why do people all over the world enjoy sports? A. Because sports are interesting.

B. Because sports help to train a person’s character. C. Because sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.

D. All of the above.

23.Sports and games can help people from different countries ______.

A. to be enemies

B. to understand each other better C. to be partners D. to dislike each other

24.What can we learn from this passage? A. Sports and games are useful to the old. B. Sports and games should be done for fun. C. A lot of new sports will be invented in the future.

D. Sports and games are unimportant things that people do. －B－

“Teenager” is the new term being used in the UK to describe kids at either 8-12 or 10-13 years old.

More and more companies are beginning to create products and services for teen agers. The Disney Company sells music and film to teenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile pho ne covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. It’s all about sales, which suggests that teenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.

Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compensate (弥补) by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.

UK kids today are very media and computer-literate (熟练的). A lot of kids have a TV, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They can get much more information about life and the world. They

may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in single-parent families, so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”. With such maturity (成熟) at such a young age, it’s no wonder teenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.

UK teenagers never used to be worried about spending money on c lothes. That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious (有意识的) and concerned about their image. Many teenagers outgrow (年长而不再需要)

the bright colors and fashions of their teenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious (叛逆的).

Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly marketing their products and services at children.

25.Why are more products and services created for teenagers?

A. Because children have more money to buy them. B. Because it is better to study music from an early age. C. Because children education is becoming more important. D. Because more companies are creating products and services.

26.Teenagers have more freedom due to the following facts EXCEPT that ______.

A. they become mature at a younger age B. they have a lot of experiences in life

C. they know more information than kids before D. their parents cannot influence them any more 27.What is the purpose of the passage? A. To teach a new word “teenager”.

B. To introduce a new phenomenon (现象). C. To advise parents to care about their kids. D. To blame today’s young people. －C－

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class. “You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackbo ard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”

We studied the board carefully. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted (揉搓) their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for the ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich as if he would hopefully be announced (宣布)winner.

Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy (华丽的) paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and left the space in order to draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander (游荡) past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick (把戏) of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.

I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with certainty.

I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.

Minutes passed.

No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted (使分心) me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.

I was still sitting at my desk, thinking. What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.

28.What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster? A. It must appear in time. B. It must be done in class.

C. It must be done on a construction sheet. D. It must include the words on the blackboard.

29.The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means ______.

A. formed an idea for B. made an outline for C. made some space for D. chose some colors for

30.After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class ______.

A. looked very serious B. began to play games C. thought they would be rich D. began to think about their designs

31.We can infer from the passage that the author ______. A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much B. loved poster competitions very much C. felt surprised to win the competition

D. became wise and rich after the competition －D－

Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.

Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.

One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕的) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device (设备) in the mouth of the new born baby.

The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.

Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.

Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity (体恤) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years

old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (抑郁).

The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.

These children also were less cooperative (合作的) and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.

32.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development

in babies?

A. The environment. B. Mother’s sensitivity. C. Their movement. D. Education before birth.

33.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?

A. To prove that babies can learn before they are born. B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.

C. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.

D. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.

34.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?

A. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.

B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression. C. The children of depressed but caring mothers. D. Children with high communication abilities. 35.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth. B. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.

C. Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence.

D. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.

As the old saying goes, laughter is the best medicine. (36)__________ However, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects i t has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.

(37)__________ People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. (38)__________

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment, doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. (39)__________ The reason why laughter can

reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which reduces both stress and pain.

(40)__________ They try to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial (有益的) effects similar to those caused by laughter.

A. Therefore, people are taught to laugh. B. Laughter is closely related to good health.

C. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. D. Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. E. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.

I don’t think you’re right. Students s hould pay attention to their study. Mobile phones are not always necessary. They’re not like books and pens. You should understand your parents and do what they ask.

Now public phone booths can be found everywhere. If you have to make a phone call, you may use them. You’d better have a talk with your parents and tell them you don’t want one any more. Work hard on your lessons and read more interesting books. You may also talk about your problem with your teachers and friends. I’m sure they’ll help you. If you have more questions, please ask me.

Yours, Editor

You can ask her to help you with it. You can also order lunch from a coffee shop if you want. I’m really sorry to leave all these things to you on a phone message. If you have any problems, call me anytime. (20) Bye for now.
