If you’re the type of traveler who just wants a suitable place to hang your hat and you don’t want to spend a fortune to do it, here are several ways to save on your next hotel room: *Be Flexible Hotel rates are based on supply and demand, so be aware of peak periods. If your destination’s high season is from December through April and you’re trying to book near the end of April, you might find considerable savings if you change your travel dates by a week or two. *Check Hotel Web Sites The large travel-booking Web sites often sell rooms from the middlemen who have bought up empty hotel moms. But the major hotel chains also offer last-minute discounts, and because they’re not paying the middleman, they sometimes have better deals than the travel sites. *Don’t be Afraid to Bargain Most people are so intimidated (畏缩的) by know-it-all hotel desk clerks that they don’t bargain for a better deal. But bargaining for a better deal is often worth the trouble, because most hotel general managers would prefer having a customer paying a lower-than-usual rate to no customer at all. And if you find something unfair on your hotel bill, don’t be afraid to complain. To keep your goodwill, hotels will often reduce or cancel such charges. *Avoid Hidden Costs Expensive little extras hotels never mention can increase the cost of your stay. Don’t let this happen. Find out about resort fees, fees for parking and Internet use before you agree to stay. And don’t touch the hotel’s phone unless you absolutely have to — the rates can be more than $2 a minute even inside the United States.
36. According to the passage, which of the following will save you some money
A. Change your visiting places in high season. B. Book rooms through Web sites.
C. Use the hotel’s phone. D. Bargain with desk clerks for your room,
37. That travelers can bargain for better deal is often based on the fact that _______.
A. managers often prefer a lower-paid customer to no customer
B. there are many places which should not be charged
C. customers are often afraid to complain the price
D. the desk clerks and managers often cheat the travelers
38. The passage was mainly written to ________.
A. advertise hotels B. complain high costs
C. serve the travelers D. introduce hotel services
(B)
Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. “A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.” George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy-television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the patents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
39. According to George, reading aloud to children ________.
A. help them correct mistakes B. is helpful to their reading
C. is parents’ first duty to their children D. can get children out of television’s attraction
40. The underlined word (in Paragraph 4 ) means something that __________.
A. can improve children’s reading B. can help children’s right way of reading
C. can make children interested in reading D. can make children not attentive
41. What does the fourth paragraph mainly want to show is important
A. reading skills B. reading speed C. feeding materials D. reading environment
42. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph
A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.
B. Advice is given to control their children.
C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.
D. How children improve their reading by themselves.
43. Which one would be the best title for the passage
A. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.
B. Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.
C. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Render.
D. How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.

37．A。由文章的第三条建议可知，之所以旅客能够与旅店进行讨价还价是因为他们往往宁愿旅客交低费也不愿房间空着没有人住。

41．D。本段主要是讲了电视对孩子的阅读会产生不好的影响，常常读书的环境没有电视或者电视关掉，这些都属于阅读环境的内容，因此D项正确。
42．A。文章的最后一段的最后一句“of course to know what kind of books to read is also important”暗示了后面应该涉及到孩子应该读什么样的书。因此，A项正确。
43．C。本篇文章主要是说明父母给孩子读书的重要性，父母给孩子读书有利于孩子阅读水平的提高。因此C项正确。A项应该是父母多花时间在孩子身上而不是相反；B项与D硬的范围模糊，不能概括文章的主要内容。

【书面表达】
One possible version: Some students think that it is very important to have an exam. If so, we know the results of our studies, and the exams also make us study hard. However, other students don’t think so. They say if they get high marks in the exams, they are very excited. But when they fail, they will be in very low spirits. What’s worse, they don’t usually take part in other extra-curricular activities. If the exams are prohibited, we don’t have to worry about the marks. In that case, we can choose the subjects we like, take part in more activities and learn more through social practice, which will greatly benefit us in the future. In my opinion, it is. But our exams should be reformed. It should test not only our knowledge, but also our practical abilities.

During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack（断裂）open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed. Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show “earthquake belts（带）”. In these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can build strong houses to fight against earthquakes. In the future, scientists will be able to predict exactly（精确预报）when and where an earthquake will happen.

The Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face ” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same way. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, you should be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and say sorry to those that you have offended （冒犯，得罪）.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN（个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them ”
7. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.
C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.
8. What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph
A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.
B. To let readers know how special his house is.
C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
9. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.
A. it has been controlled by computers
B. you can make a telephone call anywhere
C. it has your favorite music following you
D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
10. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage
A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.

Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to 41 my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome 42 from one end of the city to another and to 43 among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the 44 , so the friendship I knew at school was 45 . I put up with it for a short period. It was 46 long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my 47 into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued writing poetry at home.

Confucius was born five hundred and fifty years before Christ. Unlike Jesus Christ, he did not bring words of God to the people. He was a clever teacher and a philosopher, looking for truth and wisdom. Most of his teaching was about life in this world. Confucius was very keen to give people good rulers. Someone asked him, “What does a country need ” Confucius answered, “Enough food, a good army, and a good leader.” The people then asked, “Which one is the most important ” Confucius answered, “An army is not very important. All men must die, so food is not the most important. But if the leader of the country is not good, then everything will be bad,”

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships .One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions .Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties .Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways .First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us .Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support .They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—money aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.
65. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can .
A. make people live more easily B. smooth away daily problems
C. deal with life changes D. cure types of illnesses
66. The researches show that people’s physical and mental health .
A. lies in the social medical care systems which support them
B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others
C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
D. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes

A. takes place of B. makes up of C. lessens the effect of D. gets rid of
68. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of ___________.
A. instrumental support B. informational support
C. social companionship D. the strengthening of self-respect
69. What is the subject discussed in the text
A. Interpersonal relationships. B. Kinds of social support.

Fading beauty She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa. The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed. “The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state(化学状态). Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.” However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519. In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces. Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
70. What does the writer mean by “time is catching up with the Mona Lisa”
A. The painting woman is not so beautiful any more.
B. Ageing is something that affects us all.
C. The painting needs repairing.
D. At such an old age, she is no longer popular.
71. What makes the repair work difficult
A. The wooden panel is thin and old.
B. No one knows exactly what materials were used to create the painting and how it might respond to treatment.
C. The health of the painting is suffering.
D. Experts can’t agree on how to carry out repairs.
72. What makes her so mysterious according to Professor Livingston
A. The materials the Italian artist used.
B. The way she smiles. C. The way Da Vinci painted the smile.
D. It plays a trick upon the human eyes

Libraries No one can hope to own all the books he may want to read or use. [76] ┈ A good library contains thousands of books on all kinds of subjects. They are arranged on the shelves in certain order so that any particular book is easy to find. [77] ┈ [78] ┈ If we are looking for a particular book or a book on a particular subject, we will need to look up a card index. An author index lists authors alphabetically and tells which of their books are in the library. A subject index lists all the books in the library on any particular subject. Both indexes list classification numbers so that the books can be found easily. [79] ┈ The books in the reference library are reference books and are for use inside the library only. They include dictionaries, directories, and encyclopedias. The reference section usually has a selection, of up-to-date newspapers and magazines.
[80] ┈---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Most libraries have a reference section as well as the ordinary lending section.
B. Each subject is given a number according to a standard method of classification.
C. Fiction books, for example, are usually arranged alphabetically, according to the names of the authors. Nonfiction books are arranged subject by subject.
D. Readers can find the books they want to read by computers in every library.
E. Fortunately there are libraries in most towns that will lend us the books. Some are school libraries, others are public libraries. There may even be traveling libraries that visit remote areas.
F. Readers may also be able to read old issues of newspapers on microfilm by means of a microfilm reader. Storing information on microfilm saves a lot of valuable space. In university and some other libraries copies of many things, for example, documents, articles, and plans, are available on microfilm.

You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤离）of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland. During the 20th century, sea level rose 8-12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water. Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（排放）, which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries. Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable（易受影响的）to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
36. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. rapid changes in earth’s temperature B. bad effects of global warming
C. moving of a country to a new place D. reasons for lowland flooding
37. According to scientists, the direct cause of more and fiercer storms is ______.
A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
B. higher surface water temperatures of the sea
C. continuous global warming
D. rising sea levels
38. Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not ______.
A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B. sign an agreement with Tuvalu
C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
39. The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is ______.
A. Australia B. New Zealand C. the Maldives D. the United States
(B)
In a traditional Chinese family, women are expected to do the housekeeping and leave the “other business” to men. However, the appearance of the full-time “househusband” is changing traditional family. A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and 32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping if the conditions were right. Yang Wenhui, 32 years old, worked at the office of a company prefer to quit the job. “My job was dull and steady. I was not promoted. My wife, in contrast, really likes her job. So, after our baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works full-time outside the home,” said Yang. Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations. Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family. Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with “no prospects” or wife who is “too strong”. Zhou Wei said he has become usual to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this when they gathered during the holidays. “A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples’ opinions,” added Zhou.
40. The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that ________.
A. it is too difficult for him to do it B. it is too boring for him to do it
C. he is too old to go on doing it D. his wife wanted him to quit it
41. In which situation is a man unlikely to become a full-time househusband
A. He can earn enough money to keep family and has a good job prospects.
B. He can earn much less than his wife and will never get promoted.
C. His wife hates housework and is busy with her work outside.
D. His job can be done at home and he would like stay at home.
42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. A full-time househusband is a man without prospects in life.
B. A full-time househusband is much weaker than his wife.
C. A full-time househusband is willing to share his experience with his relatives.
D. A full-time househusband can also enjoy happiness from housework.
43. The underlined word “forfeit” probably means ________.
A. appreciate B. quit C. continue D. escape

I sent my first e-mail when I was 17. I discovered Google 5 years later. Today I use the Internet all the time. When I was a kid, I never imagined that I would one day send messages using a computer that fits in my backpack. Your experience is probably very different. “Kids are now living in a virtual(虚拟的) world,” says psychologist Patricia Greenfield. She’s director of the Children’s Digital Media Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. Scientists have begun to wonder whether the Internet is good or bad for kids. Nearly 90 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, according to one recent survey, and about half of these kids use it every day. They visit chat rooms and send e-mails. They go to Websites to get information for homework. As digital technology influences the lives of young people more and more, scientists have begun to wonder: Is the Internet good or bad for kids ” “It’s important to answer that question because the Internet involves so many things,” says Justine Cassell, a media expert at Northwestern University. “They include networked computer games, news about politics, instant messaging and e-mails to your grandmother.” To add to the uncertainty, more and more students show that the online world can be helpful in some ways and dangerous in others. It can be both an educational resource and, for example, a hiding place for kidnappers. “The bottom line,” Greenfield says, “is that the Internet is a very powerful tool that can be used equally for everyone.”

A. 17 B. 22 C. 5 D. 12

A. The Internet is quite good for all the people.

Imagine yourself in a small airplane 3300 meters above the ground. The engines roar in your ears as you move towards the open door. Then you’re outside, falling with the wind whipping past your ears. As the ground rushes up at you, you open your parachute(降落伞). It explodes over your head, jerking(猛拉) you back and upward. All in all, you were in free all for only 30 seconds—the longest 30 seconds of your life. For most of us, skydiving is something we only see in the movies, but a growing number of adventurers are taking the plunge. Obviously, skydiving isn’t something you can just try, like fishing or bowling. So, if you want to attempt the sport, you’ll need to go to ground school. Ground school is where you learn to jump, without leaving the ground. The course is taught by licensed（有执照的）skydiving instructors who have been jumping for years. They’ll teach you how to keep your body position stable(稳定的). You’ll also learn to be constantly aware of your altitude and, most importantly, when to open your parachute. Once you’re through with ground school, it’s time to get up in the air. However, a new jumper never jumps alone. Two instructors always jump with the person, ready to pull the student’s parachute open if he or she freezes up. No doubt, you’re thinking skydiving is a dangerous sport. It certainly seems dangerous when you’re watching someone fall at 200km/rh. But if you believe the statistics, skydiving is actually safer than driving, with one fatality(死亡) occurring in approximately 60,000 jumps. Moreover, most enthusiasts agree all fear stops the second your feet leave the plane, and when you land, the only thought in your mind is, “Wow! I want to do that again!”
69. The underlined phrase in Para. 2 taking the plunge means __________.
A. deciding to do something risky B. avoiding doing something important
C. starting talk about something D. thinking about something first
70. As a whole, the first paragraph is _________.
A. informative B. instructive (有教育意义的)
C. persuasive D. descriptive
71. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. skydiving is an extremely dangerous sport
B. new jumpers possibly fail to open the parachute
C. new jumpers can jump alone at ground school
D. skydiving instructors teach you how to make the parachute
72. The best title for the passage is __________.
A. ground school for skydiving B. instructors teaching skydiving C. skydiving, an extreme sport D. enthusiasts for skydiving

六. 书面表达 With the development of science, the Internet comes into our everyday life. It helps us in many ways. Online shopping is a good example. We can buy the things we want on the Internet without leaving our house. With just a single click on your mouse, what you order online can be delivered to you, which saves us a lot of time. Besides, the goods may be cheaper than those in shops. Though it is convenient and fast to shop on the Internet, there are still disadvantages. As we can’t see the real goods, there may be problems in quality. After all, we can’t choose them ourselves. When we want to buy clothes, it is impossible for us to try them on. What’s more, many advertisements on the Internet are not reliable. So sometimes we are easily cheated. Therefore, we should be careful when we are enjoying the convenience of high technology.

Have you ever lied to your parents that you came back late from school because you stayed to finish some homework when actually you went to play computer games or have fun with your friends If students in Taiyuan Yuying High School in Shanxi Province lied in the past, they will not be able to do so in the future. A smart card, Electronic Identity Card, will be introduced this week at the school. The card, which contains a tiny chip, includes a student’s name, photo and their student number on the face of the card . With this ID, parents will know exactly when their kids arrive and leave the school via(通过) a mobile phone message or an email. “There’s a card reader equipped in each classroom. The system will send the information to students’ parents if they have applied for this service,” explained Kang Jinfeng, a technician in the school. The school hopes the card will make the students safer and better organized. “The environment around the campus has become busier with lots of things to distract (使分心) students. Some students go to the Internet cafes nearby instead of going home immediately after school. Also, many parents worry about their children’s safety on the way home as there have been lots of student accidents recently,” said Fu Hongyan, headmaster of the school. Parents and students are eager to see how the new smart card works, for the school is the first one in the province to start the program. “Although I hope my child can manage his time well, this card will help me know more about him,” said Wang Liping, a Senior 3 student’s mother. Apart from information on attendance (出勤), parents will also be informed of their children’s performance, homework comments and examination results. Although parents welcome the move, some students think it will affect their freedom and privacy. “It seems that I am being watched over everywhere and every second. I used to play basketball after school, but now I may have to explain to my parents every day why I get home late. I want to be more independent to deal with my own things,” said Liu Jida, a Senior 3 student . “I would rather that my parents did not know my bad exam results, but the card will tell them everything about my studies,” complained Zhang Xu, a 17-year-old boy.
36. If the parents ______, they can use the information in the card reader.
A. have a mobile B. have a computer C. have a TV set D. have applied for the service
37. The school will use Electronic Identify card for the sake of ________.
A. money B. the safety of the school
C. the management of the school
D. the safety of the students and better organization
38. According to the article , _______ don’t like the new ID.
A. the leaders of the school B. the teachers of the school
C. the parents of the students D. some students
39. We can conclude from the text that there will be ________ students going to the Internet cafes nearby after school .
A. more B. fewer C. no D. many

Why you may wonder, should spiders be our friends Because they destroy so many insects, including some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour (吞食) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beast who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings. Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six. How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf (利益) One authority（权威人士）on spiders made a research on spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre (英亩); that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.
40. Spiders should be our friends, because __________.
A. they only eat harmful insects B. they are great insect-eating animals
C. they destroy large numbers of insects which do harm to the human race
D. their harmfulness is the least
41. One authority on spiders estimated ________.
A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south of England
B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders.
C. the quantity of different spiders in England was very big
D. that there were 6,000,000 kinds of spiders on a football field
42. What does the underlined word “content ” mean in the article It means ________.
A. fed B. supplied C. disappointed D. satisfied
43. Which one of the following statements is the main idea
A. Spiders, the greatest insects-eating animals, protect us from being destroyed by harmful insects and they should be our friends
B. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.
C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the human race.
D. The weight of the insects eaten by spiders in one year is greater than the weight of all people in England

I’m writing to tell about the discussion we’ve had in the recent class meeting about whether Senior 3 students should take a lot of tonics to keep fit. Opinions are divided on the topic. Sixty percent of the students think it unnecessary to take any tonics. They hold the opinion that taking tonics will cause them to put on weight, which is bad for their health. What’s more, the price of tonics is rather high. However, forty percent of the students point out that Senior 3 students have a lot more homework to do every day. So many students get tired and tonics can help to refresh themselves. In addition, they can’t afford time to have sports. Personally, having right food is more important. The best way to stay healthy is to take exercise regularly。
