三、阅读填句
A school newspaper The Teens asked over one thousand teenagers how they spent their spare time. 1 It’s not at all surprising to learn that most teens said they wanted more free time. Most have less than an hour a day for after-school activities.
Physical activity was popular among both girls and boys, averaging between three to six hours a week. Favourite sports among girls were tennis, basketball and swimming. Boys said they liked football, basketball and skating.
2 About half of those surveyed said that music was their favourite activity. This included both listening to and playing music. TV was also very popular. Three quarters said they preferred watching TV to reading a book or magazine.
Unexpectedly, as many as three out of ten teenagers mentioned that collecting things was something they liked to do in their spare time. 3
Visiting friends was also popular. Eight out of ten teenagers said they met friends once a week. 4 Another popular way of contacting friends was the cellphone. Everyone we surveyed said they spoke to friends every day. Most said they spoke about twenty minutes a day. 5 Only one out of ten said they went to dance regularly.
A. Here they report the results of the survey.
B. Teenagers are happy to have a relaxing life.
C. Speaking of entertainment, music and TV were popular.
D. Nine out of ten said they contacted friends through the Internet.
E. Surprisingly, teenagers seldom went dancing, especially girls.

二、阅读理解
1.A 简单计算题。全文共介绍了七个国家的教师节的情况,注意the United Nations意为“联合国”,它不是一个国家。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He was India’s second president and a person who believed in good education”可知A项错误,B项正确;根据该段中的“Traditionally on this day, the teaching is done by the senior students while the teachers get a much deserved break from their work”可知,在印度,在教师节那天教师是休息的,故C项错误;D项为明示信息,不是推断出来的。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段、倒数第三段和最后一段可知选A。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“see what teachers have done and listen to the teachers’ worries and the things they want to change”可知,B项正确。
三、阅读填句
1. A。空前面一句提到学生报纸The Teens问一千多名学生怎样度过他们的业余时间。空后面一句提到调查的结果。由此可知填空处选A。A项表示“下面他们报道了调查结果”。
2. C。空后面多次提到music, TV。故选C。
3. F。前面一句提到collecting things, 故选F。
4. D。前面两句提到拜访朋友, 故选D。
5. E。空后面一句提到只有十分之一的人说经常去跳舞, 所以填空处表示青少年很少去跳舞。故选E。
