6．【解析】选C。这是一个强调句。完整句子It was in the supermarket where I purchased mooncakes that I came across our chemistry teacher.。要填的是强调部分带定语从句的引导词。

3．【解析】选B。...be about to do sth...when...为固定句型，其中when是并列连词，相当于and at that time。

8．【解析】选B。句意：玛丽，我提醒了约翰他要帮你的诺言。本题考查动词短语搭配。remind sb.of sth.使某人想起某事或提醒某人做某事，符合语境，故B项为正确答案。warn sb.of sth.警告某人某事；advise sb.of sth.通知/(正式)告知某人某事，相当于tell sb.about sth.。
9．【解析】选B。句意：我在暑假做兼职挣了1000美元之后开了一个银行账户。本题考查动词辨析。根据空格后的a bank account(银行账户)可知，此处用open。borrow借来；enter进入；order订购。

Ⅲ.完形填空

10．【解析】选A。根据下文“He worked with a shoemaker...”及“He made a pair of shoes for everyone in his family”可判断，他到城里是为了学习做鞋的方法。
11．【解析】选C。此处说的是：他跟着一个鞋匠学习做鞋，六个月之后学成回家。
12．【解析】选B。他跟着鞋匠是为了学习做鞋，六个月后他自然是带着做鞋的知识回家的。

2．【解析】选C。推理判断题。文章第一段交代，司机整整一天一位乘客都没有，当他经过火车站，看到有一个年轻人提着行李箱走出火车站时，他认为有生意了，这时当然会很“高兴”。
3．【解析】选D。推理判断题。第二段中讲，从火车站到Star Hotel坐出租车的实际费用是3美元，当司机向他索要15美元时这位乘客却说，上一次他付了13美元，所以这一次他也只付13美元。这说明他对这座城市很陌生。

3．【解析】选B。句意：——新法案通过了吗？——当然，只有少数人反对。考查动词含义。agree同意，赞成；oppose反对；support支撑，扶持，支持；approve批准，通过。根据句意，法案通过，是反对的人少，所以选B。
4．【解析】选C。句意：由于无法控制的情况，讲座被取消了。circumstance常用复数形式，是“情况”的意思。state状态；circle圆圈；environment环境。
5．【解析】选C。anybody与否定词连用表示“全部否定”；everybody与否定词连用表示“部分否定”。but一词决定了后面部分是部分否定。故选C。
6．【解析】选A。句意：一旦大家坐好，每个参加考试的人都会得到试卷。当主从句的主语一致，从句里又含有be动词的某种形式的时候，可以把从句里的主语和be动词省略，此句省略了everyone is。be seated表示“就座”。

8．【解析】选D。句意：我们原以为考试会很难，但结果它很容易。turn变得；come成为，变得；appear似乎，看起来；prove证明是，结果是。由句意可知D项切题。

Ⅳ.单项填空
1．【解析】选C。but for“要不是”。这是一个虚拟语气的标志，从句子含义看，事情已发生，因此是对过去动作的虚拟，主句应用“should/could/would/might＋have done”结构。故选C。
2．【解析】选D。句意：虽然美国教育和中国教育有一些不同，但是两种教育制度都造就出了杰出的毕业生。turn out在此处表示“生产，造就”。turn in上交；turn away拒绝……入内；turn off关掉。

7．【解析】选C。若去掉答语中的插入语do you suppose，句子结构则一目了然：What has happened to him？(他发生了什么事情呢？)what在句中作主语，故题干中缺少谓语动词，若动作发生在过去某时，但强调对现在造成的影响，则需用现在完成时。
8．【解析】选A。without引导含蓄条件句，整个句子所表达的意思和事实相反，需用虚拟语气。指现在的情况，用“would/should/could/might＋v.”，freezing相当于副词，修饰cold。
9．【解析】选B。考查动词词义辨析。句意：刚才没见你，因此我猜你已经走了。assume认为，假设；know知道；wonder想知道；decide决定。由句意可知B项正确。
10．【解析】选D。句意为：请让我在车站下车。drop sb.off让某人下车。

5．【解析】选B。根据语境“他经常工作到深夜”，可知此处用hard-working“努力工作的”。open-minded“思想开放的”；self-confident“自信的”；warm-hearted“热心的”。
6．【解析】选B。本题考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，it作形式主语，而真正的主语应为后面的从句，且从句中缺少动词think的宾语，故用what引导。
7．【解析】选C。考查主谓一致和时态。as well as连接并列主语时，谓语动词根据就前原则，故排除A、B项。D项是现在完成时的被动形式，故排除。

9．【解析】选C。考查名词辨析。句意：为了保持专业能力，老师需要不断地更新他们的知识。competence“能力”，符合句意。consequence“结果”；independence“独立”；intelligence“智力”。均不符合句意。

7．【解析】选D。甚至当“我”去和朋友们打篮球时，男孩们也盯着“我”看(不理解)，就好像“我”是个外星人似的。用stare at表示“盯着”。glare at指“怒视”，不妥。glance at指“瞥一眼”。根据语境，文中要表达的意思应是其他男孩不解地盯着自己。
8．【解析】选B。学校不准、家长不让、男孩不理解使“我”打篮球的梦想根本无法实现，“我”感到心情沮丧。feel down意为“感觉沮丧的”。
9．【解析】选C。下文交代“我”新交的朋友鼓励“我”重新回到篮球场，这一转机在当时是无法预料的，故填Unexpectedly。

Ⅳ.单项填空
1．【解析】选D。convey传达，符合句意。lead指引；clarify澄清；remember记住，remember me to sb.表示“代我问候某人”。
2．【解析】选C。句意：结果证明那儿的公路情况很好，超出了我们的预料。后半句是对前半句的一个补充，后半句是一个非限制性定语从句，which替代前面整句话，A、B两项不能充当定语从句中的关系代词，D项不能用于非限制性定语从句中。
3．【解析】选D。从语义上看，这四个选项都有选择的可能，但它们的搭配形式不同：agree to do sth.“同意做某事”；promise (sb.) to do“答应(某人)做某事”；allow sb.to do sth./allow doing sth.“允许某人做某事/允许做某事”；approve of (sb.) doing sth.“同意/赞成(某人)做某事”。因此，D项为本题正确答案。句意为“我很高兴，我父母已经同意我买一辆新车”。
4．【解析】选D。考查动词辨析。句意：这个年轻人无法忍受的是他的母亲总是把他当小孩子来对待。bear忍受，符合句意。support支持；undertake从事；hold容纳。

7．【解析】选A。考查短语辨析。pick up在此作“恢复”讲，符合语义。pick out挑选；turn up出现；show up揭露，露面。
8．【解析】选C。postpone“推迟”，后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语，take place为不及物动词短语，不能接宾语。
9．【解析】选B。句意为：我来这里开始工作时，他们要我担任英语教师。undertake“承担，担任”，符合句意。
10．【解析】选A。分析句子结构可知，________Jim had done是一个定语从句，修饰先行词all，故引导词用that，all that Jim had done＝what Jim had done；第二空所填词形成so...that...结构，表示“如此……以至于……”，that在此引导结果状语从句。综合分析可知本题选A。

2．【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知答案。
3．【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知和男车手不同的是女车手参加这项运动不仅仅是为了娱乐，由此可以判断，男车手参加这项运动主要是为了从运动中获得乐趣。

3．【解析】选A。as意为“随着”。句意：随着我们长大，我们渐渐学会了接受生活现在的这个样子。
4．【解析】选C。本题考查turn构成的动词短语。第二句句意：我没在真正看书，我只是在翻书。turn over“翻过一页书(纸)”，符合句意。turn off关闭；turn around完成；提供；生产出；turn up调大；出现；发生。
5．【解析】选D。句意：十年之后，这个组织解体了，所有的成员不得不回家。cut up“切碎”和divide up“分，分配”都是及物动词短语，故排除A、C项；break in插嘴；split up解体，故选D。
6．【解析】选D。考查省略和替代。从句意可知，此处表示对可能发生的事件的假设，因此选择if so“如果这样的话”，so代替前面句子中提到的情况。

9．【解析】选A。考查动词词组辨析。从语意“这所学校不是我原本真正想要读的，但既然来了，我将不得不好好利用它。”可知，make the best of表示“好好利用”符合语意。get away from表示“逃离”；keep an eye on表示“照看，留神”；catch up with表示“赶上，跟上”，都与语意不符。
10．【解析】选B。句意：她将告诉我们为什么她强烈地感觉到我们每个人都得尽一份力来让地球成为一个更好的居住地。不定式作定语，相当于play a role in making...。

3．【解析】选A。句意：在动物园里我很害怕老虎和北极熊，因为它们很有攻击性。aggressive意为“侵略的，侵犯的”。而shy和这两种动物的习性相悖；playful“爱玩耍的，嬉戏的”，和本句的terrified相悖；large不符合题意。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Today，I read an interesting article about television viewing.In one experiment，families were paid to stop watching TV for either a week or a month.Many could not complete the task and some families even fought，verbally or physically.It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV.
After TV became a product most families could afford，people bought and started to watch their new TVs. Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving，less able to persevere (坚持) in tasks，and less tolerant of unstructured time.
In my family，we grew up with the TV on.Every weekend，we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza together as a family.TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign language at home，and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports，incomparable performing arts and important events of the world.In addition，it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to the galaxies in the universe.
Perhaps it’s not even practical to live without television unless our views change abruptly as we get older. I don’t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other things such as learning new skills，getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together.Today there seems to be a TV in every room of the house and there’s no need to agree on a program to watch.To watch TV or not to watch TV is more of a question for adults than for us，and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in front of the tube，we never really do.TV_has_us_hypnotized!
1．The experiment in Paragraph 1 is intended to show________.
A．how interesting watching TV is
B．how much people like watching TV
C．whether people like watching TV
D．what people do after giving up watching TV
2．According to Paragraph 3，the author and his family________.
A．spend weekends watching TV in every room
B．get a lot of valuable experience in watching TV
C．want to cut down the time spent in front of TV
D．can afford a TV for each one of the family
3．The author thinks________.
A．it’s practical to live with television
B．it’s not practical to live with television
C．people’s view about watching TV has changed
D．when we get older，our view about watching TV will change
4．In the last paragraph the underlined sentence means________.
A．we are really hooked on our TV
B．we are really proud of our TV
C．TV robs us of available time

When Joe Bates was twelve years old，he lost interest in school.He stopped listening in his classes.Some of his teachers began to consider him a problem.
But a few of Joe’s teachers thought that Joe might have lost interest in schoolwork because he already understood it.They proposed that Joe try taking a university class in computer science.Joe did.He was the best student in the class.Later tests showed that his intelligence and knowledge were far greater than most children of his age.He entered the university when he was thirteen，about four years earlier than most children.And by the time he was in his early twenties，Joe was teaching computer science at a university.
Joe’s story shows what can happen when a child’s unusual ability is recognized.Sadly，however，not all gifted children get this recognition.And educational experts say unusually gifted children may waste their abilities if they do not get help to develop them.
Studies show that almost twenty percent of students who fail to complete high school in the United States are gifted children.
This is because gifted children can have special problems as well as special abilities.Teachers may not recognize their abilities，or may not know how to keep them interested.Or they may consider such students to be trouble-makers or rebels.
Gifted children may feel lonely or different because they do not know other children who share their interests.
Educators say there are more than two million gifted children in the United States today.But they say fewer than half are taking part in special education programs designed for them.
One of the most successful programs is held every summer at John Hopkins University in the state of Maryland，where Joe Bates went to school.It started in 1980 when educators saw that there must be many children like Joe.
At first，only 100 children took part，now more than 1,000 children between the ages of nine and sixteen are students in the summer program.
The John Hopkins program provides studies in math and science.It also has classes for children with unusual ability in language and writing.The children study the same subject every day for several weeks.It could be biology，or history，or English literature.In those few weeks，they learn as much as in a normal nine-month school year.
William Durden，the director says the program succeeds because it permits children to make progress more quickly than in a traditional program.And the children get to meet others like themselves.

Whether you’re headed to another country for business or pleasure，it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family or business partners in the United States.But if you plan to do that using your cell phone，you could have an unwelcome surprise－U.S.cell phones don’t work abroad.U.S.companies use different forms of technology，not like most of the international community，including Europe.
However，there is an easy，cost-effective solution (方法) to staying in touch while you’re traveling.You can rent a phone that is guaranteed to work in the countries you’re visiting.Roadpost offers a 30-day cell phone rental plan that includes free incoming calls，free voicemail and call waiting services.
The service is convenient and simple.You can place your order online and your phone will be shipped to arrive on the date you want.If an unexpected business trip comes up，Roadpost can provide next-day delivery for most cities.In addition to the phone，Roadpost provides a spare battery，a travel charger and a leather carrying case.
When your phone is shipped from Roadpost，you receive an e-mail confirmation that contains your international cell phone number so you can leave it with family members and business partners；Roadpost even provides business cards preprinted with your international phone number.
Those who don’t want to be without e-mail while traveling can rent an international BlackBerry.It can be hard to stay in touch by e-mail when traveling.With an international BlackBerry，you can e-mail as much as you like，without worrying about an expensive bill.If you’re traveling to very remote areas，you may want to consider renting a satellite phone.Because they receive their signals from satellites，these phones work anywhere on the planet，including oceans and mountains.When you return，simply ship the phone or BlackBerry back to Roadpost using the return kit the company provides.

Dear Anne，
I like your column very much.I met a girl four years ago at a gym.She was the one who originally approached me and we became good friends.Then one day，she made me really angry，so angry that I just left and we never saw each other again.
Looking back，I really regret ending things that way.It was a cowardly act on my part，but I had a terrible temper at that time and let the smallest thing get to me.Recently，I’ve started thinking about her again and I looked up her e-mail address.I thought about writing to say “Hi” and apologize for what I did，but I’m not sure.She could still be angry with me，or maybe she has forgotten me.I feel very lonely and I want to see her again.What should I do?
Tom
Dear Tom，
She may still be angry with you，and she may have forgotten the friendship between you，but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve an apology.Tom，how many of us have wished for the day that someone who treated us badly saw the light and finally owned_up? But we rarely get that kind of expected result.So，e-mail her and say “Hi”．
Tell her you have been thinking about her and just want to apologize for getting angry and being a coward by walking out on her.But you should remember if she thinks you’re apologizing just because you are lonely，she might dismiss your sincerity.Therefore，don’t mention that.If she wants to see you again，she’ll make sure that happens.
Even if she doesn’t want to be your friend，I can assure you，she’ll appreciate the gesture.And it might make you think twice next time you get angry.
Anne

“That’s funny！These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.” Dr.Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London.He had been studying some germs (细菌) that he was growing on a plate.They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people.Dr.Fleming found that some mould (霉菌)had floated in through the window landing on the plate.It had killed some of the germs it had touched.
“This certainly looks promising.” Fleming said.“We must grow some of the mould to see if it will kill other germs.”
He named the strange mould “ penicillin”．It proved to be a killer of many germs.Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected (注射) with penicillin.The twenty-five untreated mice died，but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin.Dr.Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out.Hardly anybody took any notice of it.
In 1938，Dr.Howard Florey，an Australian working in London，read Dr.Fleming’s report and was very interested.He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.
When World War Ⅱ broke out，it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England.Dr.Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made.It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers，sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.
1．Dr.Alexander Fleming________.
A．had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill people
B．had been studying some of the germs on a plate which could cure illnesses
C．had been making experiments on some germs that he was growing on a plate
D．had been making experiments on different germs that could help sick people to get better
2．The reason why the twenty-five mice died was that________.
A．they had been given deadly germs and had been injected with penicillin
B．they were almost dead before the experiment
C．they were easy to die in the experiment
D．they had been given deadly germs and had not been injected with penicillin
3．The underlined word “enormous” means________.

Good communication is vital in modern society.We know that much of the communication is unspoken.Consciously or unconsciously，we show our true feelings with our eyes，faces，bodies and attitudes.Good qualities can make good communication.The personal qualities include：physical appearance，energy，rate of speech，pitch and tone of voice，gestures，expressiveness of eyes，and the ability to hold the interest of others.
What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions.
Firstly，you should be yourself.The trick is to be consistently you，at your best.The most effective people never change character from one situation to another.They’re the same whether they’re having a conversation with their close friends，addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job.They communicate with their whole being.
Secondly，whether you’re talking to one person or one hundred，always remember to look at them.Don’t break eye contact while talking.As you enter a room，move your eyes comfortably，then look directly at those in the room and smile.This shows clearly that you are at ease.Smiling is important.The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable，not forced.
You should also absorb other people before showing yourself.You can’t learn anything when you talk.When you attend a meeting，a party or an interview，don’t immediately start throwing your opinions.Stop for a second.Absorb what’s going on.What’s the mood of the others－are they down，up，happy，expectant? Are they eager to learn from you，or do they show resistance? If you can sense what’s happening to others，you will be better able to reach them.So，listen before you talk.
The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy.How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting，collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting－yours and the others’．Once you go through the doorway，no longer think about yourself.Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in.Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something.When you speak with energy，you are involved with your audience and your message.You create an air of certainty.The audience may disagree with you，but they can’t question your belief.
Lastly，I would like to remind you that you should lighten up.Take a good look at yourself.Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concentrated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answer yes to even one of these questions，you need to be more relaxed.
How to communicate 1.________
Suggestions
Dos
Don’ts
Be yourself
Always be the same and communicate with your whole being.
Change character in 2.________situations.
Use your eyes and smile
·Make direct eye contact.

·Break eye contact.
·4.________yourself to smile.

Begin your talk immediately.
Focus your6.________
·Remain 7.________and think clearly and carefully before the meeting.
·Focus on the person you’re meeting.
Think about yourself.
Lighten up
Try to be 8.________.
·Say “I” too often.
·Concentrate on your 　own problems.
·Make too 9.________ complaint.

Good communication 10.________on good personal qualities.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Language learning begins with listening.Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking，and later starters are often long listeners.Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak，though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child.Before they can speak，many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties.It is agreed that they enjoy making noises，and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight，pain，friendliness，and so on.But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate，they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language.It is agreed，too，that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment，and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store.This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get our teeth into.The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father，his dog，or anything else he likes.Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself.I doubt，however，whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
1．Before children start speaking________.
A．they need equal amounts of listening
B．they need different amounts of listening
C．they are all eager to cooperate with adults by obeying spoken instructions
D．they can’t understand or obey adults’ oral instructions
2．Children who start speaking late________.
A．may have problems with their listening
B．probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C．usually pay close attention to what they hear
D．often take a long time in learning to listen properly
3．A baby’s first noises are________.
A．an expression of his moods and feelings
B．an early form of language
C．a sign that he means to tell you something
D．an imitation of the speech of adults
4．The best title for this passage would be________.
A．How babies learn to speak
B．A huge task for children
C．Early forms of language
D．Noise making and language learning
5．The speaker implies________.
A．parents can never hope to teach their children new
sounds
B．children no longer imitate people after they begin to
speak
C．children who are good at imitating learn new words
more quickly
D．even after they have learnt to speak，children still enjoy imitating

COOL INVENTIONS
From school to band practice，the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want to go.This battery-powered，zero-emission (meaning it doesn’t pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy.Solar panels on the Eclectic’s roof absorb sun rays when you’re driving.On windy days，you can connect a machine to the car’s roof that collects energy from the wind while you’re parked.The Eclectic’s top speed is 28 miles an hour；the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged.Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighbourhood has never been better.
Here’s an eco-friendly way to tell time：Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock’s tank (箱) with water，add some lemon juice，and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries.There are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water tank.Water contains ions (离子) that carry negative and positive charges.These ions complete a charge between the electrodes，creating enough energy to power the clock.Just refill the tank every few weeks，and this clock will keep on ticking.
Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the 1,000-mile-an-hour barrier.(The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now，the rocket-shaped car gets its initial push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine.Then a rocket fires up，pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour.In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的)，the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle.
You’re having_a_blast at your friend’s birthday party.But when it’s time to bring out the cake，everyone crowds around，blocking your view.No worries.Throw the Triops into the air，and this clever camera captures the view from above.The Triops can take three pictures at once，each from different angles.You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise.That’s one smart camera.
1．According to the passage，the Venturi Eclectic________.
A．is popular with businessmen
B．is suitable for a long trip
C．can turn wind into energy
D．has only a little gas emission
2．What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?
A．They don’t need batteries.
B．They are difficult to operate.
C．They can be powered by water.
D．They are environmentally friendly.
3．The underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A．looking at a picture B．enjoying yourself
C．blowing out a candle D．recording sounds
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The Triops is sensitive to sounds.
B．The driver of the SSC must be of great size.
C．The colour of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.
D．The SSC doesn’t have anything to do with a rocket actually.

Are you a big fan of pirate (海盗) stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th.This special holiday is called “International Talk like a Pirate Day”．It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans，John Baur and Mark Summers.
These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball，and began to talk like pirates.At that moment，they thought，“Young people are interested in pirate.But there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it.Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate？” They decided to make September 19th the date.Since then，Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk like a Pirate Day.As Baur said，“ We’ve talked like pirates，and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”
At first，this day was only known by a few people.In 2002，Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry.This columnist (专栏作家) really liked their idea.He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people.Now，it has really become an international holiday.On Talk like a Pirate Day，you need to dress like a pirate.You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes.You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie.
Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday.Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day.That’s why it is welcomed by so many people，especially young people.
Unlike traditional holidays，International Talk like a Pirate Day is a brand-new holiday which is invented by the youth themselves and celebrated by themselves too.Because of Baur and Summers’ imagination and creativity，thousands of young people’s pirate dream come true.Next time，when you have a good idea，why not share it with your friends and insist on your belief? Maybe you can create another wonderful holiday for the youth in the future.
5．How did John Baur and Mark Summers invent the special holiday?
A．Many young people asked them to do it.
B．They did it just for pleasure.
C．They thought out the idea by chance and imagination.
D．They did it in order to honor pirates.
6．Why does the holiday become more and more popular?
A．You can have fun and relax yourself freely.
B．Young people can exchange ideas and dreams on the day.
C．Young people can have fun and be relaxed.
D．You can play the role of the pirate in the movie on the day.
7．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It was Dave Barry who made more people know the holiday.
B．Talk like a Pirate Day is a young，active and lively holiday.
C．Thanks to John Baur and Mark Summers’ imagination and creativity，a lot of people realize their pirate dream.

8．Which is the best title for the passage?

High school students who，after graduation，would like to continue their education are often faced with many problems in financing college training.Free education is not so widespread at the college level as at the elementary and secondary school levels.There is usually a charge for tuition.In addition，for most students，going to college means living away from home，which is an expensive matter.
What，then，can be done by a student who finds that he must help to finance himself if he is to extend his education beyond high school? There are several possibilities.Scholarships are sometimes available.These are usually given partly on the basis of high grades.Therefore the day-to-day work in high school may be very important for determining one’s chances of help from this source.Another source of help is the college loan fund，which is established for the purpose of providing loans to worthy students.A third plan is that of working one’s way through school.Work may involve holding a part-time job outside the college.Sometimes it means assisting professors in laboratory work，library work，or office routine.Sometimes it means performing some service which the student body requires，such as helping in the preparation and serving of meals，working in college stores，and the like.

Math goes hi-tech
The fear of high school math is lost here among the blue glow of computer screens and the sounds of typing keyboards.
A fanfare (喇叭声) plays from a speaker as a student passes a chapter test.Nearby，another student is watching a video lecture.Another works out an equation (方程式)in her notebook before clicking on a multiple-choice answer on her screen.
Their teacher at Agoura High School，US，Russell Stephans，sits at the back of the room，watching as scores pop up in real time on his computer grade sheet.One student has passed a level，the data shows；another is retaking a quiz.
“ Whoever thought this up makes life so much easier，” Stephans says.
Slowly，but in increasing numbers，schools across the US are replacing the heavy and expensive textbook with its lighter and cheaper cousin：the digital textbook.
A digital textbook can be downloaded，projected and printed，and can range from a simple text to a curriculum filled with multimedia and can link to Internet contents.Some versions must be purchased；others are“ open source”－free and available online to anyone.
Some praise the technology as a way to save schools money，replace outdated books and better engage students.Others say most schools don’t have the resources to join in，or they question the quality of open-source contents.
Paper books still take up a large part of the US textbook market，with digital textbooks making up less than 5 percent，according to analyst Kathy Mickey of Simba Information，a market research group.
But that is changing，as grade schools follow the lead of US universities and schools in other countries，including South Korea and Turkey.
California made the largest embrace (拥抱) of digital textbooks this summer when it approved 10 free high school math and science titles developed by college professors.
“The textbooks are outdated，as far as I’m concerned，and there’s no reason why our schools should have our students use these outdated and heavy and expensive books，” Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said this summer.
But some disagree with the idea that digital textbooks will improve education quality.
“Keep in mind that with open-source materials，you have to ask：Where are they coming from？’” said Jay Diskey，executive director of the schools division of the Association of American Publishers.“Is it a trusted source? Is it based on real researches？”
Diskey said traditional textbooks offer a comprehensive (综合的) curriculum，while some open-source textbooks provide only bits_and_pieces.“There can be quite a difference between content and accuracy，” he said.“ In many cases，you get what you pay for.”
1．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to________.
A．explain how to use digital textbooks
B．predict the future of paper textbooks
C．describe the current use of digital textbooks and present arguments about it
D．explain the difference between paper textbooks and digital ones
2．Diskey holds the view that________.
A．the government shouldn’t promote the use of open-source digital textbooks
B．digital textbooks make up for the shortcomings of traditional textbooks
C．paper textbooks and digital ones both have advantages
D．traditional textbooks have more reliable contents
3．The underlined phrase“ bits and pieces” is the closest to________in meaning.
A．practical knowledge　　　 B．math information
C．small things D．incorrect information

11．【解析】选C。此处说的是：他跟着一个鞋匠学习做鞋，六个月之后学成回家。
12．【解析】选B。他跟着鞋匠是为了学习做鞋，六个月后他自然是带着做鞋的知识回家的。

5．【解析】选A。考查系动词辨析。根据上句中的with their eyes可知，应该选A，look nice看起来不错。

8．【解析】选D。句意：我们原以为考试会很难，但结果它很容易。turn变得；come成为，变得；appear似乎，看起来；prove证明是，结果是。由句意可知D项切题。

7．【解析】选C。若去掉答语中的插入语do you suppose，句子结构则一目了然：What has happened to him？(他发生了什么事情呢？)what在句中作主语，故题干中缺少谓语动词，若动作发生在过去某时，但强调对现在造成的影响，则需用现在完成时。
8．【解析】选A。without引导含蓄条件句，整个句子所表达的意思和事实相反，需用虚拟语气。指现在的情况，用“would/should/could/might＋v.”，freezing相当于副词，修饰cold。
9．【解析】选B。考查动词词义辨析。句意：刚才没见你，因此我猜你已经走了。assume认为，假设；know知道；wonder想知道；decide决定。由句意可知B项正确。
10．【解析】选D。句意为：请让我在车站下车。drop sb.off让某人下车。

2．【解析】选A。available“可得到的，可用的，有用的”；useable“便于使用的”；suitable“合适的”；comfortable“舒适的”。第二句句意为“对不起，先生。眼下，我们没有房间了。”
3．【解析】选C。句意：尽管孩子没有找到，但是当飓风来临时，搜寻行动被迫中止了。abandon在此表示“中止，中途放弃”。lose丢失；give away赠送，泄露；give out发出，散发。
4．【解析】选B。so that引导目的状语从句；A、D两项引导原因状语从句；C项意为“即使”，引导让步状语从句。句意为“玫瑰需要特殊的照料，以便它们能够安全过冬。”
5．【解析】选B。根据语境“他经常工作到深夜”，可知此处用hard-working“努力工作的”。open-minded“思想开放的”；self-confident“自信的”；warm-hearted“热心的”。
6．【解析】选B。本题考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，it作形式主语，而真正的主语应为后面的从句，且从句中缺少动词think的宾语，故用what引导。
7．【解析】选C。考查主谓一致和时态。as well as连接并列主语时，谓语动词根据就前原则，故排除A、B项。D项是现在完成时的被动形式，故排除。
8．【解析】选B。句意：警察的直升机成功地在楼顶着陆，在大火还没烧到顶楼前将所有遇险人员全部救出。根据句意可知B为正确答案。
9．【解析】选C。考查名词辨析。句意：为了保持专业能力，老师需要不断地更新他们的知识。competence“能力”，符合句意。consequence“结果”；independence“独立”；intelligence“智力”。均不符合句意。
10．【解析】选D。考查时态和语态。根据时间状语In the near future可知，此处应用将来时态。make和more advances之间存在动宾关系，故用被动语态。句意：在不久的将来，在机器人技术方面科学家会取得更大的进展。

7．【解析】选D。甚至当“我”去和朋友们打篮球时，男孩们也盯着“我”看(不理解)，就好像“我”是个外星人似的。用stare at表示“盯着”。glare at指“怒视”，不妥。glance at指“瞥一眼”。根据语境，文中要表达的意思应是其他男孩不解地盯着自己。
8．【解析】选B。学校不准、家长不让、男孩不理解使“我”打篮球的梦想根本无法实现，“我”感到心情沮丧。feel down意为“感觉沮丧的”。
9．【解析】选C。下文交代“我”新交的朋友鼓励“我”重新回到篮球场，这一转机在当时是无法预料的，故填Unexpectedly。

3．【解析】选C。句意：一位政府官员上周五被谋杀了，警方正在搜集与这起案件有关的信息。be relevant to表示“与……有关的”，符合句意。

Ⅳ.单项填空
1．【解析】选D。convey传达，符合句意。lead指引；clarify澄清；remember记住，remember me to sb.表示“代我问候某人”。
2．【解析】选C。句意：结果证明那儿的公路情况很好，超出了我们的预料。后半句是对前半句的一个补充，后半句是一个非限制性定语从句，which替代前面整句话，A、B两项不能充当定语从句中的关系代词，D项不能用于非限制性定语从句中。
3．【解析】选D。从语义上看，这四个选项都有选择的可能，但它们的搭配形式不同：agree to do sth.“同意做某事”；promise (sb.) to do“答应(某人)做某事”；allow sb.to do sth./allow doing sth.“允许某人做某事/允许做某事”；approve of (sb.) doing sth.“同意/赞成(某人)做某事”。因此，D项为本题正确答案。句意为“我很高兴，我父母已经同意我买一辆新车”。
4．【解析】选D。考查动词辨析。句意：这个年轻人无法忍受的是他的母亲总是把他当小孩子来对待。bear忍受，符合句意。support支持；undertake从事；hold容纳。

7．【解析】选A。考查短语辨析。pick up在此作“恢复”讲，符合语义。pick out挑选；turn up出现；show up揭露，露面。
8．【解析】选C。postpone“推迟”，后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语，take place为不及物动词短语，不能接宾语。
9．【解析】选B。句意为：我来这里开始工作时，他们要我担任英语教师。undertake“承担，担任”，符合句意。
10．【解析】选A。分析句子结构可知，________Jim had done是一个定语从句，修饰先行词all，故引导词用that，all that Jim had done＝what Jim had done；第二空所填词形成so...that...结构，表示“如此……以至于……”，that在此引导结果状语从句。综合分析可知本题选A。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
【解题导语】　摩托赛车曾经是一项男车手一统天下的运动，如今，随着女性对自由和支配的追求，女车手的人数在不断增加，赛车文化也在发生着变化。

2．【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知答案。
3．【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知和男车手不同的是女车手参加这项运动不仅仅是为了娱乐，由此可以判断，男车手参加这项运动主要是为了从运动中获得乐趣。

1．【解析】选A。四个选项中只有put on可以与pressure搭配，故选A。

3．【解析】选A。as意为“随着”。句意：随着我们长大，我们渐渐学会了接受生活现在的这个样子。
4．【解析】选C。本题考查turn构成的动词短语。第二句句意：我没在真正看书，我只是在翻书。turn over“翻过一页书(纸)”，符合句意。turn off关闭；turn around完成；提供；生产出；turn up调大；出现；发生。
5．【解析】选D。句意：十年之后，这个组织解体了，所有的成员不得不回家。cut up“切碎”和divide up“分，分配”都是及物动词短语，故排除A、C项；break in插嘴；split up解体，故选D。
6．【解析】选D。考查省略和替代。从句意可知，此处表示对可能发生的事件的假设，因此选择if so“如果这样的话”，so代替前面句子中提到的情况。

8．【解析】选B。句意：他们在加宽桥面，用以加快交通速度。考查动词词组辨析。put off推迟，暂缓；speed up加快速度；turn on打开，呈现；work out解决，锻炼，设计出。
9．【解析】选A。考查动词词组辨析。从语意“这所学校不是我原本真正想要读的，但既然来了，我将不得不好好利用它。”可知，make the best of表示“好好利用”符合语意。get away from表示“逃离”；keep an eye on表示“照看，留神”；catch up with表示“赶上，跟上”，都与语意不符。
10．【解析】选B。句意：她将告诉我们为什么她强烈地感觉到我们每个人都得尽一份力来让地球成为一个更好的居住地。不定式作定语，相当于play a role in making...。

3．【解析】选A。句意：在动物园里我很害怕老虎和北极熊，因为它们很有攻击性。aggressive意为“侵略的，侵犯的”。而shy和这两种动物的习性相悖；playful“爱玩耍的，嬉戏的”，和本句的terrified相悖；large不符合题意。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Today，I read an interesting article about television viewing.In one experiment，families were paid to stop watching TV for either a week or a month.Many could not complete the task and some families even fought，verbally or physically.It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV.
After TV became a product most families could afford，people bought and started to watch their new TVs. Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving，less able to persevere (坚持) in tasks，and less tolerant of unstructured time.
In my family，we grew up with the TV on.Every weekend，we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza together as a family.TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign language at home，and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports，incomparable performing arts and important events of the world.In addition，it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to the galaxies in the universe.
Perhaps it’s not even practical to live without television unless our views change abruptly as we get older. I don’t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other things such as learning new skills，getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together.Today there seems to be a TV in every room of the house and there’s no need to agree on a program to watch.To watch TV or not to watch TV is more of a question for adults than for us，and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in front of the tube，we never really do.TV_has_us_hypnotized!
1．The experiment in Paragraph 1 is intended to show________.
A．how interesting watching TV is
B．how much people like watching TV
C．whether people like watching TV
D．what people do after giving up watching TV
2．According to Paragraph 3，the author and his family________.
A．spend weekends watching TV in every room
B．get a lot of valuable experience in watching TV
C．want to cut down the time spent in front of TV
D．can afford a TV for each one of the family
3．The author thinks________.
A．it’s practical to live with television
B．it’s not practical to live with television
C．people’s view about watching TV has changed
D．when we get older，our view about watching TV will change
4．In the last paragraph the underlined sentence means________.
A．we are really hooked on our TV

When Joe Bates was twelve years old，he lost interest in school.He stopped listening in his classes.Some of his teachers began to consider him a problem.
But a few of Joe’s teachers thought that Joe might have lost interest in schoolwork because he already understood it.They proposed that Joe try taking a university class in computer science.Joe did.He was the best student in the class.Later tests showed that his intelligence and knowledge were far greater than most children of his age.He entered the university when he was thirteen，about four years earlier than most children.And by the time he was in his early twenties，Joe was teaching computer science at a university.
Joe’s story shows what can happen when a child’s unusual ability is recognized.Sadly，however，not all gifted children get this recognition.And educational experts say unusually gifted children may waste their abilities if they do not get help to develop them.
Studies show that almost twenty percent of students who fail to complete high school in the United States are gifted children.
This is because gifted children can have special problems as well as special abilities.Teachers may not recognize their abilities，or may not know how to keep them interested.Or they may consider such students to be trouble-makers or rebels.
Gifted children may feel lonely or different because they do not know other children who share their interests.
Educators say there are more than two million gifted children in the United States today.But they say fewer than half are taking part in special education programs designed for them.
One of the most successful programs is held every summer at John Hopkins University in the state of Maryland，where Joe Bates went to school.It started in 1980 when educators saw that there must be many children like Joe.
At first，only 100 children took part，now more than 1,000 children between the ages of nine and sixteen are students in the summer program.
The John Hopkins program provides studies in math and science.It also has classes for children with unusual ability in language and writing.The children study the same subject every day for several weeks.It could be biology，or history，or English literature.In those few weeks，they learn as much as in a normal nine-month school year.
William Durden，the director says the program succeeds because it permits children to make progress more quickly than in a traditional program.And the children get to meet others like themselves.

Whether you’re headed to another country for business or pleasure，it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family or business partners in the United States.But if you plan to do that using your cell phone，you could have an unwelcome surprise－U.S.cell phones don’t work abroad.U.S.companies use different forms of technology，not like most of the international community，including Europe.
However，there is an easy，cost-effective solution (方法) to staying in touch while you’re traveling.You can rent a phone that is guaranteed to work in the countries you’re visiting.Roadpost offers a 30-day cell phone rental plan that includes free incoming calls，free voicemail and call waiting services.
The service is convenient and simple.You can place your order online and your phone will be shipped to arrive on the date you want.If an unexpected business trip comes up，Roadpost can provide next-day delivery for most cities.In addition to the phone，Roadpost provides a spare battery，a travel charger and a leather carrying case.
When your phone is shipped from Roadpost，you receive an e-mail confirmation that contains your international cell phone number so you can leave it with family members and business partners；Roadpost even provides business cards preprinted with your international phone number.
Those who don’t want to be without e-mail while traveling can rent an international BlackBerry.It can be hard to stay in touch by e-mail when traveling.With an international BlackBerry，you can e-mail as much as you like，without worrying about an expensive bill.If you’re traveling to very remote areas，you may want to consider renting a satellite phone.Because they receive their signals from satellites，these phones work anywhere on the planet，including oceans and mountains.When you return，simply ship the phone or BlackBerry back to Roadpost using the return kit the company provides.

Dear Anne，
I like your column very much.I met a girl four years ago at a gym.She was the one who originally approached me and we became good friends.Then one day，she made me really angry，so angry that I just left and we never saw each other again.
Looking back，I really regret ending things that way.It was a cowardly act on my part，but I had a terrible temper at that time and let the smallest thing get to me.Recently，I’ve started thinking about her again and I looked up her e-mail address.I thought about writing to say “Hi” and apologize for what I did，but I’m not sure.She could still be angry with me，or maybe she has forgotten me.I feel very lonely and I want to see her again.What should I do?
Tom
Dear Tom，
She may still be angry with you，and she may have forgotten the friendship between you，but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve an apology.Tom，how many of us have wished for the day that someone who treated us badly saw the light and finally owned_up? But we rarely get that kind of expected result.So，e-mail her and say “Hi”．
Tell her you have been thinking about her and just want to apologize for getting angry and being a coward by walking out on her.But you should remember if she thinks you’re apologizing just because you are lonely，she might dismiss your sincerity.Therefore，don’t mention that.If she wants to see you again，she’ll make sure that happens.
Even if she doesn’t want to be your friend，I can assure you，she’ll appreciate the gesture.And it might make you think twice next time you get angry.
Anne

“That’s funny！These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.” Dr.Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London.He had been studying some germs (细菌) that he was growing on a plate.They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people.Dr.Fleming found that some mould (霉菌)had floated in through the window landing on the plate.It had killed some of the germs it had touched.
“This certainly looks promising.” Fleming said.“We must grow some of the mould to see if it will kill other germs.”
He named the strange mould “ penicillin”．It proved to be a killer of many germs.Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected (注射) with penicillin.The twenty-five untreated mice died，but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin.Dr.Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out.Hardly anybody took any notice of it.
In 1938，Dr.Howard Florey，an Australian working in London，read Dr.Fleming’s report and was very interested.He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.
When World War Ⅱ broke out，it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England.Dr.Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made.It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers，sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.
1．Dr.Alexander Fleming________.
A．had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill people
B．had been studying some of the germs on a plate which could cure illnesses
C．had been making experiments on some germs that he was growing on a plate
D．had been making experiments on different germs that could help sick people to get better
2．The reason why the twenty-five mice died was that________.
A．they had been given deadly germs and had been injected with penicillin
B．they were almost dead before the experiment
C．they were easy to die in the experiment

Good communication is vital in modern society.We know that much of the communication is unspoken.Consciously or unconsciously，we show our true feelings with our eyes，faces，bodies and attitudes.Good qualities can make good communication.The personal qualities include：physical appearance，energy，rate of speech，pitch and tone of voice，gestures，expressiveness of eyes，and the ability to hold the interest of others.
What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions.
Firstly，you should be yourself.The trick is to be consistently you，at your best.The most effective people never change character from one situation to another.They’re the same whether they’re having a conversation with their close friends，addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job.They communicate with their whole being.
Secondly，whether you’re talking to one person or one hundred，always remember to look at them.Don’t break eye contact while talking.As you enter a room，move your eyes comfortably，then look directly at those in the room and smile.This shows clearly that you are at ease.Smiling is important.The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable，not forced.
You should also absorb other people before showing yourself.You can’t learn anything when you talk.When you attend a meeting，a party or an interview，don’t immediately start throwing your opinions.Stop for a second.Absorb what’s going on.What’s the mood of the others－are they down，up，happy，expectant? Are they eager to learn from you，or do they show resistance? If you can sense what’s happening to others，you will be better able to reach them.So，listen before you talk.
The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy.How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting，collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting－yours and the others’．Once you go through the doorway，no longer think about yourself.Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in.Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something.When you speak with energy，you are involved with your audience and your message.You create an air of certainty.The audience may disagree with you，but they can’t question your belief.
Lastly，I would like to remind you that you should lighten up.Take a good look at yourself.Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concentrated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answer yes to even one of these questions，you need to be more relaxed.
How to communicate 1.________
Suggestions
Dos
Don’ts
Be yourself
Always be the same and communicate with your whole being.
Change character in 2.________situations.
Use your eyes and smile
·Make direct eye contact.

·4.________yourself to smile.

Begin your talk immediately.

·Remain 7.________and think clearly and carefully before the meeting.
·Focus on the person you’re meeting.
Think about yourself.
Lighten up
Try to be 8.________.
·Say “I” too often.
·Concentrate on your 　own problems.
·Make too 9.________ complaint.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Language learning begins with listening.Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking，and later starters are often long listeners.Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak，though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child.Before they can speak，many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties.It is agreed that they enjoy making noises，and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight，pain，friendliness，and so on.But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate，they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language.It is agreed，too，that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment，and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store.This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get our teeth into.The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father，his dog，or anything else he likes.Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself.I doubt，however，whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
1．Before children start speaking________.
A．they need equal amounts of listening
B．they need different amounts of listening
C．they are all eager to cooperate with adults by obeying spoken instructions
D．they can’t understand or obey adults’ oral instructions
2．Children who start speaking late________.
A．may have problems with their listening
B．probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C．usually pay close attention to what they hear
D．often take a long time in learning to listen properly
3．A baby’s first noises are________.
A．an expression of his moods and feelings
B．an early form of language
C．a sign that he means to tell you something
D．an imitation of the speech of adults
4．The best title for this passage would be________.
A．How babies learn to speak
B．A huge task for children
C．Early forms of language
D．Noise making and language learning
5．The speaker implies________.
A．parents can never hope to teach their children new
sounds
B．children no longer imitate people after they begin to
speak
C．children who are good at imitating learn new words
more quickly
D．even after they have learnt to speak，children still enjoy imitating

COOL INVENTIONS
From school to band practice，the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want to go.This battery-powered，zero-emission (meaning it doesn’t pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy.Solar panels on the Eclectic’s roof absorb sun rays when you’re driving.On windy days，you can connect a machine to the car’s roof that collects energy from the wind while you’re parked.The Eclectic’s top speed is 28 miles an hour；the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged.Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighbourhood has never been better.
Here’s an eco-friendly way to tell time：Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock’s tank (箱) with water，add some lemon juice，and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries.There are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water tank.Water contains ions (离子) that carry negative and positive charges.These ions complete a charge between the electrodes，creating enough energy to power the clock.Just refill the tank every few weeks，and this clock will keep on ticking.
Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the 1,000-mile-an-hour barrier.(The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now，the rocket-shaped car gets its initial push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine.Then a rocket fires up，pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour.In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的)，the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle.
You’re having_a_blast at your friend’s birthday party.But when it’s time to bring out the cake，everyone crowds around，blocking your view.No worries.Throw the Triops into the air，and this clever camera captures the view from above.The Triops can take three pictures at once，each from different angles.You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise.That’s one smart camera.
1．According to the passage，the Venturi Eclectic________.
A．is popular with businessmen
B．is suitable for a long trip
C．can turn wind into energy
D．has only a little gas emission
2．What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?
A．They don’t need batteries.
B．They are difficult to operate.
C．They can be powered by water.
D．They are environmentally friendly.
3．The underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A．looking at a picture B．enjoying yourself
C．blowing out a candle D．recording sounds
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The Triops is sensitive to sounds.
B．The driver of the SSC must be of great size.
C．The colour of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.
D．The SSC doesn’t have anything to do with a rocket actually.

Are you a big fan of pirate (海盗) stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th.This special holiday is called “International Talk like a Pirate Day”．It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans，John Baur and Mark Summers.
These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball，and began to talk like pirates.At that moment，they thought，“Young people are interested in pirate.But there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it.Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate？” They decided to make September 19th the date.Since then，Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk like a Pirate Day.As Baur said，“ We’ve talked like pirates，and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”
At first，this day was only known by a few people.In 2002，Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry.This columnist (专栏作家) really liked their idea.He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people.Now，it has really become an international holiday.On Talk like a Pirate Day，you need to dress like a pirate.You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes.You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie.
Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday.Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day.That’s why it is welcomed by so many people，especially young people.
Unlike traditional holidays，International Talk like a Pirate Day is a brand-new holiday which is invented by the youth themselves and celebrated by themselves too.Because of Baur and Summers’ imagination and creativity，thousands of young people’s pirate dream come true.Next time，when you have a good idea，why not share it with your friends and insist on your belief? Maybe you can create another wonderful holiday for the youth in the future.
5．How did John Baur and Mark Summers invent the special holiday?
A．Many young people asked them to do it.
B．They did it just for pleasure.
C．They thought out the idea by chance and imagination.
D．They did it in order to honor pirates.
6．Why does the holiday become more and more popular?
A．You can have fun and relax yourself freely.
B．Young people can exchange ideas and dreams on the day.
C．Young people can have fun and be relaxed.
D．You can play the role of the pirate in the movie on the day.
7．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It was Dave Barry who made more people know the holiday.
B．Talk like a Pirate Day is a young，active and lively holiday.
C．Thanks to John Baur and Mark Summers’ imagination and creativity，a lot of people realize their pirate dream.

8．Which is the best title for the passage?

High school students who，after graduation，would like to continue their education are often faced with many problems in financing college training.Free education is not so widespread at the college level as at the elementary and secondary school levels.There is usually a charge for tuition.In addition，for most students，going to college means living away from home，which is an expensive matter.
What，then，can be done by a student who finds that he must help to finance himself if he is to extend his education beyond high school? There are several possibilities.Scholarships are sometimes available.These are usually given partly on the basis of high grades.Therefore the day-to-day work in high school may be very important for determining one’s chances of help from this source.Another source of help is the college loan fund，which is established for the purpose of providing loans to worthy students.A third plan is that of working one’s way through school.Work may involve holding a part-time job outside the college.Sometimes it means assisting professors in laboratory work，library work，or office routine.Sometimes it means performing some service which the student body requires，such as helping in the preparation and serving of meals，working in college stores，and the like.

Math goes hi-tech
The fear of high school math is lost here among the blue glow of computer screens and the sounds of typing keyboards.
A fanfare (喇叭声) plays from a speaker as a student passes a chapter test.Nearby，another student is watching a video lecture.Another works out an equation (方程式)in her notebook before clicking on a multiple-choice answer on her screen.
Their teacher at Agoura High School，US，Russell Stephans，sits at the back of the room，watching as scores pop up in real time on his computer grade sheet.One student has passed a level，the data shows；another is retaking a quiz.
“ Whoever thought this up makes life so much easier，” Stephans says.
Slowly，but in increasing numbers，schools across the US are replacing the heavy and expensive textbook with its lighter and cheaper cousin：the digital textbook.
A digital textbook can be downloaded，projected and printed，and can range from a simple text to a curriculum filled with multimedia and can link to Internet contents.Some versions must be purchased；others are“ open source”－free and available online to anyone.
Some praise the technology as a way to save schools money，replace outdated books and better engage students.Others say most schools don’t have the resources to join in，or they question the quality of open-source contents.
Paper books still take up a large part of the US textbook market，with digital textbooks making up less than 5 percent，according to analyst Kathy Mickey of Simba Information，a market research group.
But that is changing，as grade schools follow the lead of US universities and schools in other countries，including South Korea and Turkey.
California made the largest embrace (拥抱) of digital textbooks this summer when it approved 10 free high school math and science titles developed by college professors.
“The textbooks are outdated，as far as I’m concerned，and there’s no reason why our schools should have our students use these outdated and heavy and expensive books，” Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said this summer.
But some disagree with the idea that digital textbooks will improve education quality.
“Keep in mind that with open-source materials，you have to ask：Where are they coming from？’” said Jay Diskey，executive director of the schools division of the Association of American Publishers.“Is it a trusted source? Is it based on real researches？”
Diskey said traditional textbooks offer a comprehensive (综合的) curriculum，while some open-source textbooks provide only bits_and_pieces.“There can be quite a difference between content and accuracy，” he said.“ In many cases，you get what you pay for.”
1．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to________.
A．explain how to use digital textbooks
B．predict the future of paper textbooks
C．describe the current use of digital textbooks and present arguments about it
D．explain the difference between paper textbooks and digital ones
2．Diskey holds the view that________.
A．the government shouldn’t promote the use of open-source digital textbooks
B．digital textbooks make up for the shortcomings of traditional textbooks
C．paper textbooks and digital ones both have advantages
D．traditional textbooks have more reliable contents
3．The underlined phrase“ bits and pieces” is the closest to________in meaning.
A．practical knowledge　　　 B．math information
C．small things D．incorrect information
