A
A decreasing birthrate depends to a large extent on the availability and use of birth control and on high living levels that make the production of additional children to provide necessary and inexpensive labor unnecessary.Family planning is a national policy in many industrial countries,such as Japan and most of European countries.As a result,in most cases the birthrate has decreased.Many developing countries have followed the lead of India (which has since 1952 conducted an extensive,but not totally successful,birth control program) in trying to promote family planning as a national policy. These countries include China,Kenya,Pakistan,Turkey,Egypt,and Chile.
In the United States,facts of the population question,such as birth control and abortion,are among the most bitterly debated subjects.The United States has disagreed strongly at times with the use of foreign aid appropriations (拨款) for family planning overseas and doing that is thought against human rights;family planning in the country is mainly run by private groups such as Planned Parenthood.
A number of non governmental organizations concerned with population growth have also appeared.Zero Population Growth,an educational group founded in 1970,aims to stop population growth,first in the United States and then in other countries.On the international level,besides the International Planned Parenthood Federation,the United Nations Economic and Social Council provides birth control aid to underdeveloped nations.
6.All the following countries try to take family planning as a national policy EXCEPT________.
A.Kenya B.Pakistan
C.Chile D.Russia
7.In many industrial countries the birthrate decreases because ________.
A.they take measures in family planning
B.they don't want to provide necessary and cheap labor

8.What does the underlined word“abortion”probably mean in the second paragraph
A.Food supplies.
B.An operation to end a pregnancy.
C.Foreign aid.
D.High growth of population birthrate.
9.In the United States family planning is not made a national policy probably because ________.
A.Americans think there is no need to keep birth control
B.the government would rather not copy ways of other countries

A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport.Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards.With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other.She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅).While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened.She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it's beautiful!”
At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately.Poor Geri was left astonished.What did she do wrong
Everything! Her jeans were the first__gaffe.Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed.The second mistake was Geri's handling of their business cards rudely.In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools.It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands.However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly.In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients.In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received.What is worse, Geri hadn't even given them a gift!
11.In the four Japanese gentlemen's eyes, Geri took their cards ________.
A.excitedly B.embarrassingly
C.politely D.disrespectfully
12.Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly
A.Because they couldn't bear Geri's behavior any longer.
B.Because they had finished the task.
C.Because Geri had something more important to do.
D.Because Geri felt embarrassed.
13.What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Ignorance. B.Sadness.
C.Mistake. D.Carelessness.
14.The third mistake Geri made was that she __________.
A.used her own card as a conversation starter
B.took her clients' cards with one hand
C.kept her clients' cards in a wrong place
D.met her clients in jeans
15.What lesson can we draw from this story
A.Honesty is the best policy.
B.Think twice before you take any action.
C.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D.Don't claim to know what you don't know.
C
If you are afraid of the dark,it's not a big deal.It's perfectly normal to feel afraid.After all,animals do too.“Fear matters,”says Karen Warkentin,an ecologist.“It's a good thing,” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”
Like kids,many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways.A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell.A small fish will swim away when a big,hungry fish approaches.
Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect.The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs.Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.
In this species,female frogs attach jellylike clumps(果冻一样的块状物)of their eggs to the undersides of leaves.The leaves hang on branches that dangle(悬挂)over ponds.After they hatch from the eggs,the tadpoles(蝌蚪)then fall into the water,where they eventually grow into adult frogs.
Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching.If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack,however,they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule.As the snakes are unable to swim,by falling into the water early,the tadpoles can escape.
If hatching early helps protect red eyed tree frogs from snakes,you might wonder why their eggs don't always hatch sooner.It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger.Once tadpoles land in the water,hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too.Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days,then,allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strong.This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water.
16.It can be inferred from the passage that fears ________.
A.help animals grow bigger and stronger
B.are less common among young animals
C.help animals move a lot to fit the environment
D.are more or less important in order for animals to survive
17.We are told in the passage that tree frogs ________.
A.face danger both inside their eggs and in the water
B.will grow fast if they fall into the water later
C.are surprisingly clever when inside their eggs
D.stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened
18.Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule?Because ________.
A.They like falling into the water early
B.They want to grow into adult frog
C.They sense a hungry snake is about to attack
D.Frog embryos can grow strong
19.What is the best title of the passage
A.What is Fear
B.Why do we feel afraid
C.You feel afraid,animals do too
D.Fear is a good thing
20.What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph
A.Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule.
B.How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.
C.Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way.
D.How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了现在青少年崇尚西方节日的现象,呼吁我们要行动起来保护传统文化。
36.growing 考查形容词。此处修饰名词number,指“越来越多的数量”,应用形容词 growing作定语。故填growing。
37.comes 考查时态和主谓一致。此处when引导的时间状语从句中,主句是一般将来时will flood into ...,从句用一般现在时表示将来的动作,come用一般现在时;or连接两个并列主语Christmas or Valentine's Day,谓语动词根据就近原则,谓语动词的人称和数与Valentine's Day 保持一致,应用单数第三人称,故填comes。
38.are identified 考查时态和语态。短语identify ...as 意思为“确认……为,把……看成”;主语 festivals and holidays 和动词 identify 是被动关系,应用被动形式be identified as“被认为是……,被看成是……”;全文时态用一般现在时,主语festivals and holidays是复数,故填 are identified。
39.especially 考查副词。此处修饰名词短语“the life in Hollywood films”,用副词,故填 especially。
40.as 考查固定短语。短语regard ...as 意思为“把……看作”,故填as。
41.that 考查主语从句。句型It is no wonder that ...“难怪,毫不奇怪,不足为奇”,it作形式主语,空后真正的主语从句不缺任何成分,应用that引导。故填that。
42.a 考查冠词。phenomenon是单数可数名词,用不定冠词a表示数量,意思为“一个,一种”;social的发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。
43.harmful 考查形容词。在be动词is后用形容词作表语;短语be harmful to“对……有害”。故填harmful。
44.measures 考查名词单复数。measure 表示“措施”时是可数名词,前面有some,measure应用复数形式。故填measures。
45.to take 考查非谓语动词。此处是句型It is high time for sb.to do sth.“是某人该做某事的时候了”,take应用不定式形式。故填to take。

So he must give it up.I can play more sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports than computer games.And then I'll ask him to concentrate more on his study.Of course, I will try my best to help him with all his subjects.At the same time, I'll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him, too.If I try these, I'm sure he will make great progress soon.
