Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has 21 for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are 22 of a virtual community.
“ I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, 23 I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online nickname used by a Senior 2 girl in China. “ Eighty per cent of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October, 24 to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.
And Fox’s Shadow might well have been one of them. “ I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel 25 . I usually spend 10 hours chatting online every week,” she said. “ But I rarely talk with 26 , especially boys or men.”
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “ You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about who you trust online.”
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to 27 someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a comic fan like 28 and they went to a comic show together.
However, not all teenagers have been so 29 . At the beginning of this year, a 17-year-old girl in Liaoning Province was raped after meeting a friend she had found on QQ. The criminal wasn’t caught until last month.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking nonsense.” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. But he spends little chatting as he sees it as a waste of time and money. “ If you are really 30 to it, sometimes you just can’t concentrate in class.” He said.
21. A. improved B. become C. changed D. increased

26. A. friends B. adults C. males D. strangers
27. A. know B. recognize C. tell D. judge
28. A. herself B. her C. anybody else D. everyone

阅读下面短文,根据上下文填入适当的词语,或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卡上标为31~40的相应位置。
The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, 31 in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. For example, some people are compulsive shoppers. Over the years, shopping has become 32 very common activity. Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned 33 shopahilics. They are people 34 simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending without being able to stop doing it. 35 they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is: why do they have this addiction? 36 isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way 37 forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel 38 important and better after they buy something. They 39 tend to have this addiction when they feel 40 (guilt). For example, a husband might buy very expensive presents for his family to try to make up for his lack of love for them.

第一节:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选择出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. “He should be punished for the killings,” an Israeli official said, “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”
But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East. Other governments share this idea.
Arafat himself said: “They can kill me, but never get me out of my country.” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time.
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving person is harder to hit. In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat. The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt. In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over North Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ram Allah in December 2001. When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.
But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
41. Which of the following statements cannot be used to describe Arafat?
A.He went to visit a few foreign countries last year.
B.He is not afraid of death in face of his enemy.
C.His office used to be in Tunis.
D.He remained alive during an air crash in 1992.
42. According to the passage, which statement is true?
A.In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in South Africa.
B.Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
C.China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
D.Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away from his people.
43. What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?
A.Arafat is as clever as a cat.
B.Arafat can live as long as a cat.
C.Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives.
D.Arafat should have died for at least 8 times.
44. The underlined word “ignore” can be replaced by __________.
A.obey the instructions B.take no notice of
C.pay much attention to D.give out orders
45. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Arafat’s future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?
A.Hopeful. B.Interesting. C.Satisfactory. D.Doubtful.
B
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a getting. It was not until in my later thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for4 a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said it was.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if you have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complains.”
46. At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life because
.
A.other people were selfish B.he thought it exciting to get from others
C.of his early education D.of his character
47. The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because .
A.he knew what such a note would mean to the post office.

D.the post man delivered an important letter in time
48. When the author needed a post-office box., .
A.many had applied for post-office box before him
B.he asked to put his name on a waiting list
C.he tried to see the postmaster
D.he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation
49. The postmaster promised .
A.to make a new post-office box for the author
B.to let the author have a post-office box
C.to include the author’s name on the list
D.to deliver the author’s mail to his home
50. The postmaster interfered because .
A.he overheard this conversation
B.he had received a lot of complaints for lack of post-office box
C.he was thankful for the letter the author had written
D.he was proud of their good service.
C
On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child, and so he has braces(支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).
He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars(小节), one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap(嘣断)——it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.
We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”
51. By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means ______.
A.it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
B.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled
C.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to face such a large audience
D.it’s really great achievements for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
52. When one of the strings broke, people thought Itzhak Perlman would __________.
A.go on playing with the remaining three strings B.give up playing
C.change or repair his violin D.get off the stage with shame
53. Itzhak Perlman ___________ when one of the strings of the violin broke.
A.gave up playing
B.didn’t know what to do
C.went on playing the same piece of music
D.went on playing a different piece of music
54. What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?
A.Surprised B.Disappointed C.Moved D.Satisfied
55. Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ____________.
A.clever B.strong willed C.humourous D.quite skilled

Speaking Mandarin Chinese
In China, there are over 100 different dialects, which are so complicated that even people from neighboring villages may not understand each other. In the information age, such barrier of language must be removed by popularizing Mandarin because it inversely affects the quality and efficiency of oral communication.
We have many things to do in Mandarin popularization. First, we should carry out a mass education on the importance of speaking Mandarin to make everyone understand that it is his responsibility to do so. In the past, little progress has been made in isolated rural areas because the natives do not bother to take pains to learn to speak Mandarin. Next, speaking good Mandarin should be compulsory in classrooms, in public offices, in movies and TV programs in China. Finally, we should attach great importance to public education because China has large illiterate(文盲的)population. A poorly educated nation has no international reputation. Popularizing Mandarin is only the first step in changing China into a better-educated nation.
Popularizing Mandarin is of great importance because it may push up our economic growth, accelerate the development of science and technology, and promote the unification of China. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, it is not an easy task. But we must do it and do it effectively.

What will Life be Like without Animals?
Animals are close friends of human beings. Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colorful. Unfortunately, I heard such news recently that rare animals, even kept in the zoo, couldn’t escape being hurt and killed, at which I feel greatly shocked. The reason it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring about them.
We should study and publicize the information about rare animals, keep it in mind that protecting animals is the duty to do for everyone, and take active and effective measures.
任务型写作:
The great number of dialects makes it necessary to popularize Mandarin which is the standard language of China. By speaking this language, people from home and abroad can understand each other easily, which helps to develop economy, speed up information exchange, and keep the nation as a more unified country. To succeed in this meaningful job, we should make people fully realize the importance of the language and make it a compulsory course at school.
I remember how worried I was when I got lost in a village where I didn’t understand the villagers because we spoke two dialects. This reminds me it is necessary for people to speak one standard language. I agree to popularize Mandarin for faster communication, which means more chances of business and mire developed economy. However, it is also necessary to keep the various dialects. Dialects, which are loved by local speakers, are also part of Chinese language. Dialects are problems for communication but symbols of rich local cultures. We should balance Mandarin and dialects well. One possible way out is to use their advantage and avoid their disadvantages in practice.
