A
Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet.If I ask you what the most important in your life is,maybe you will say “computers and the Internet”.
The first computer was made in 1946.It was very big but it worked very slowly.Today computers are getting smaller and smaller.But they work faster and faster.What can computers do?A writer has said,“People can’t live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers.It is about twenty-five years later than computers.But now it can be found almost everywhere.We can use it to read books,write letters,go shopping,play games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much.They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free.They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends.They don’t know their real names,ages,and even sex.They are so interested in making “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study.Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world.But at the same time,we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.
1.The Internet cannot be used for ________.
A.studying B.shopping
C.thinking D.playing
2.When the computer was invented,it was ________.
A.large and worked quickly
B.small and worked slowly
C.large but worked slowly
D.small but worked quickly
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Few students like going into the Internet.
B.Students use the Internet to make “unreal friends”.
C.These “unreal friends” always meet each other.
D.Students know the friends on the Internet very well.
4.What does the writer think of the Internet?
A.It is wonderful.
B.It can make students study harder.
C.It is not good for students.
D.It is helpful,but we can’t do everything on it.
B
Talk about your feelings
Talking about your feelings can help you stay in good mental health and deal with times when you feel troubled.Talking about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness.It’s part of taking charge of your well-being and doing what you can to stay healthy.
Talking can be a way to cope with a problem you’ve been carrying around in your head for a while.
Just being listened to can help you feel supported and less alone.And it works both ways.If you open up,it might encourage others to_do_the_same.
It’s not always easy to describe how you’re feeling.If you can’t think of one word,use lots.What does it feel like inside your head?What does it make you feel like doing?
You don’t need to sit your loved ones down for a big conversation about your well-being.Many people feel more comfortable when these conversations develop naturally—maybe when you’re doing something together.
Eat well
There are strong links between what we eat and how we feel—for example,caffeine(咖啡因) and sugar can have an immediate effect.
But food can also have a long-lasting effect on your mental health.Your brain needs a mix of nutrients to stay healthy and fun_ction well,just like the other organs in your body.
A diet that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.
A healthy balanced diet includes:lots of different types of fruit and vegetables,wholegrain cereals(全谷类食物) or bread,nuts and seeds,dairy products,oily fish,plenty of water.
Eat at least 3 meals each day and drink a lot,though not too much alcohol.Try to limit how many high-caffeine or sugary drinks you have.
Please note:The advice on this page may not apply if your doctor has given you specific dietary(饮食的) advice.
5.From the text we learn that talking about your feelings is one way ________.
A.to benefit your mental health
B.to keep a positive attitude about yourself
C.to change your emotional state
D.to get the most out of life
6.What does the underlined phrase “to do the same” refer to in the third paragraph?
A.To open up.
B.To be listened to.
C.To stay healthy.
D.To feel supported and less alone.
7.A healthy balanced diet is NOT likely to include ________ .
A.dairy products and oily fish
B.nuts and seeds
C.fruit and vegetables
D.caffeine and sugar
8.According to the text,the author believes that ________.
A.doctors’ dietary advice comes before the expressed advice
B.it’s a must to have a big conversation about one’s feelings
C.sugary drinks have a long-lasting effect on mental health
D.sometimes talking about your feelings is a sign of weakness

As you grow older,you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes.Making decisions on your own is hard enough,but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder.People who are your age,like your classmates,are called peers.When they try to influence(影响) how you act,to get you to do something,it’s called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system.Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book,and now everyone’s reading it.These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.For example,a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them;your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure,but you can do it.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”.Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this.If you choose friends who don’t cut class,smoke cigarettes,or lie to their parents,then you probably won’t do these things either,even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle,talk to someone you trust.Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.
1.For whom is the passage most probably written?
A.Students. B.Parents.
C.Teachers. D.Doctors.
2.Both Paragraph 2 and 3 are developed________.
A.by space B.by time
C.by stories D.by examples
3.In the last three paragraphs,the author mainly ________.
A.explains why friendship is so important
B.gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure
C.discusses how peers influence us
D.shows how to make more good friends
4.Which of the following may help handle peer pressure?
A.Spending more time with classmates.
B.Taking up more relaxing hobbies.
C.Choosing friends with no bad habits.
D.Helping others who are in trouble.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Internet and the World Web(网) are great places now.We use the word “place” because so many of the things you can do online are similar to the things you can do wherever people gather together—in homes,schools,libraries,shopping centers,or at family reunions or town meetings.The Net allows people to learn shop,find important information,and communicate,whether they’re local,global or simply virtual(虚拟的).
The Web is useful.You can find old friends online.You can research and book flights,check the weather,find breaking news,and find out information about schools and colleges.You can even place an order for books,CDs,computers and cars.
The Internet is also fun.You can write to old friends or check out their web pages.Enjoy web-based soap operas.Laugh at online jokes.Join in a live Net Event.Chat with other Internet surfers(漫游者).Check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web.Millions of users log on the Net every day,and it’s not just to do research.There’s a lot of fun there.That’s one reason why it’s called web “surfing”.
Of course,the first step to use the Web for business or for fun is learning how to work a “web browser”.If you’re new to computers,it may take a while before you are completely comfortable with your browser.Don’t worry.You don’t have to be a computer whiz.The basics of a web browser are very much like the basics of modern computers—learning how to point and click the mouse,learning how to scroll up and down(浏览) a page of text,and learning how to use pull-down menus(下拉菜单).Again,be patient.There’s no time limit on web surfing.Give yourself a chance to explore(探索) the browser itself while you explore the Web.
56.The writer compares the Web to ________.
A.places to visit
B.places to gather together in
C.some easy jobs
D.things you can do online
57.Which of the following can’t you do through the Web?
A.Find old friends.
B.Have dinner with your family.
C.Check the weather.
D.Research and book flights.
58.We can learn from the text that the Web is not only ________ but also ________.
A.of great use;of great value
B.of great use;of great enjoyment
C.useful;funny
D.of some use;of a little interest
59.To use the Web,all we have to do is to learn how to ________.
A.use the computer mouse
B.scroll up and down a page of text
C.use pull-down menus
D.all the above
B
Ever since primary school,Megan has thought of herself as quiet and shy.Some people may mistakenly think that Megan is unfriendly.But it just takes time to get to know her.Megan’s classmates know she is a caring friend and a great listener.Her closest friends know even more about her—including the fact that she’s a good pianist who writes her own music.
Shyness is an emotion(情感) that affects how a person feels and behaves around others.Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable,self-conscious,nervous,or unconfident.When people feel shy,they might be unwilling to say or do something because they’re feeling unsure of themselves and they’re not ready to be noticed.
Shyness is partly a result of person’s genes(基因).About 20% of people have a genetic tendency(倾向) to be naturally shy.The examples other people set can also play a role in whether a person learns to be shy or not.If the parents of a shy child are overly careful or protect them too much,it can teach the child to back away from situations that might be uncomfortable or unfamiliar.
Many people want to reduce their shyness.But people who are naturally shy also have gifts that they might not fully realize themselves.For example,because shy people may prefer listening to talking,they sometimes become really good listeners.People who are shy might also become sensitive to other people’s feelings and emotions.Because of their sensitivity and listening skills,many people with a shy personality are especially caring toward others.People often consider them the finest friends.
If you’re trying to become less shy,it can help to remember:
Overcoming(克服) shyness takes practice.People who are shy often give themselves fewer chances to practice social behaviors.Practicing social skills can help people overcome shyness.The more you practice social behaviors,the easier they get,and the more natural they feel for you.
60.The author starts the article by ________.
A.telling readers an interesting story

A.what shyness is
B.how to make friends
C.why some people feel shy
D.how to be a good listener
62.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to those who ________.
A.are brave
B.are shy
C.have many friends
D.like to talk
63.We learn from the article that ________.
A.most people are born to be shy
B.shyness is not always a bad thing
C.it is nearly impossible to overcome shyness
D.people who are shy are more likely to succeed
C
Now,I’ll tell you something about the Internet.The Internet is a network of computers.It became popular in the 1990s.Now,we live in the Internet Age.The Internet is very useful.You can get information,do some shopping or talk with people all over the world.You can do all these things in your room.
You can set up your own space on the Internet.We call it a homepage.It’s open to anyone in the world.Write your message on your homepage.Soon,you can get answers by e-mail from people around the world.
The Internet is also useful when a flood or an earthquake happens somewhere in the world.We can learn about the needs of the people there and send them food and medicine more quickly than before.
In the world of the Internet,everyone is equal.Famous writers,artists,and scientists—they are all your friends.A lucky person can even find a message from the president of a country.

MySpace,the social networking website,is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people.MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like.Started two years ago,it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it.Teens are rushing to join the site,not sharing their parents’ worries.It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.
For teenagers,it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends.They will often list their surnames,birthdays,after-school jobs,school clubs,hobbies and other personal information.
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone.I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances.But if I want to get in touch with one of them,I could just leave them a message on MySpace,”said Abby Van Wassen.She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.
“Every time we hold a parents meeting,the first question is always about MySpace,”said Kent Gates,who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会).The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace-related complaints,according to Mary Beth Buchanan,a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web.And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age.It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children,” Buchanan said.
68.From the passage,we can learn that MySpace ________.
A.brings about the generation gap
B.is very careful about people’s privacy
C.encourages you to list your personal information
D.lists the telephone numbers of your friends
69.Why are some parents against MySpace?
A.Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.
B.Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.
C.Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.
D.Because troublemakers can easily approach their children through the site.
70.What can we infer from “Every time we hold a parents meeting,the first question is always about MySpace”?
A.MySpace has become a top issue troubling parents.
B.MySpace often holds parents meetings.
C.MySpace is quite popular with parents.
D.Parents have lots of questions about the website.

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.__71__
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.__72__So they are called “diseases of civilization”.Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.__73__However,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat,which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products,and they made very little use of grains.__74__We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
__75__But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did,cutting the amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.
A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B.But today,we enjoy eating a lot of these.
C.In that case,they would live much healthier.
D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F.People today probably don’t want to live like our ancestors.
G.Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization”.

Dear_Editor,
I_have_recently_made_a_survey_among_30_boys_and_30_girls_in_my_class_about_their_purpose_of_getting_on_the_Internet.
The girls’ favorite is chatting,but few boys like it.What the boys like to do most is playing games and the girls also like it.Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on the Internet.Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information and keep in touch with friends.As for studying,the numbers of boys and girls are equal,but altogether only several of them will use the Internet as a tool to study.
In my opinion,useful as the Internet is,the students had better make better and wise use of it.Otherwise,it’s impossible for us to benefit from it.Moreover,I also hope the parents will pay enough attention to their children using the Internet in their spare time.
Yours,
Li_Hua
