(A)
They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy－games, CDs and clothing－are easily sold on the Web.
But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.
That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.
In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school－88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online－mainly CDs and books.
In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why ” if you ask to spend some money online.
One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.
46.What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Sellers. B. Buyers. C. Teenagers. D. Parents.
47ccording to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.
B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.
C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.
D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.
48 new way to help teenagers shop online is to use ______.
A. a new machine B. special coins and notes
C. prepaid cards D. pay-as-you-go mobile phones
49What is the passage mainly about
A. Online shopping traps. B. Internet users in the US and the UK.
C. New credit cards for parents. D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.
(B)
Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets. But for all the progress, people still don’t know one another very well.
That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “feast of conversation”－events where individuals pair with persons they don’t know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “Where are you from ”
Mr. Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.
The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives. The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities changed over the years ” Or, “What have you rebelled against the past ”
As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain. Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another. “We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says. “But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer. The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours. But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
“It’s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up. “What we did is not ordinary, but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”
Some said they felt “liberated” to talk on sensitive topics. Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”
50.What can the “conversations” be best described as
A. Deep and one-on-one. B. Sensitive and mad.
C. Instant and inspiring. D. Ordinary and encouraging.
51.In a “feast of conversations”, participants ______.
A. pair freely with anyone they like
B. have a guided talk for a set of period of time
C. ask questions they themselves would not answer
D. wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features.
52.In paragraph 6, “they would be ‘intimate’” is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. they would have physical contact B. they would have in-depth talk
C. they would be close friends D. they would exchange basic information
53.From the passage, we can conclude that what Zeldin does is ______.
A. an attempt to promote thinking interaction
B. one of the maddest activities ever conducted
C. a try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideas
D. an effort to give people a chance of talking freely
C
Japanese couples, too busy for a normal social life, are increasingly turning to actors to play their friends on the most important days of their lives.
Several agencies have sprung up(涌现)offering actors to attend weddings or even funerals．The first guest-for-hire company was established about nine years ago and around 10 agencies now send out dozens of pretend friends to family events．
Agencies such as Hagemashi Tai-which means “I want to cheer you up”-charge around ￡100 for each “guest”．Other services such as giving a speech in praise of a bride or the groom cost extra．
The appearance of the small fake friends industry has been linked to social and economic changes in Japan．With lifetime employment (终身雇佣制)a thing of the past, couples feel uncomfortable about inviting work colleagues to their wedding．Increasingly busy and put upon, many Japanese surround themselves with only a very small circle of friends．
When they marry, however, they are under pressure to match the number of their new partner’s wedding guests．
Office Agents, the largest provider of pretend friends, makes sure that its employees have done their homework and know all about the bride or groom before the wedding．
Hiroshi Mizutani, the company’s founder, said the fake friends he provides must look happy,
be ell dressed and look like people with good jobs．
54．Why did fake friends industry come into being in Japan
A．Because of social and economic changes B．Because of lifetime employment
C．Because of normal social life D．Because of work pressure
55．Pretend friends will be present at the following occasions except ________．
A．weddings B．funerals C．work D．family gathering
56．The agents make sure that ________．
A．fake friends have done their housework B．fake friends have good jobs
C．fake friends must look happy and be well dressed D．fake friends feel uncomfortable
57．What is the best title of this passage
A. Japanese couples are under pressure to get married B.The first guest-for-hire company in Japan
C．Japanese couples’ social life D．Japanese couples rely on fake friends
D
Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum’s storytelling to Dad’s, researchers said.
They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.
More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.
"The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children's lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.
Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.
The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.
When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson.
"It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child's development," said Woolfson.
58．The underlined word “pastime” in the passage mot probably means .
A．old time B．entertainment C．emotion D．character
59．The author develops the passage mainly by .
A．pointing out similarities and differences B．following the natural time order
C．comparing opinions from different fields D．providing examples and statistics
60．Reading a story with their parents helped most kids aged 3-8 .
A．grow stronger B．become more emotional
C．sleep better D．become more powerful

Don’t complain in the NBA
The NBA has a new rule this season. It’s called “zero tolerance”. NBA referees are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a referee’s call. A player who does can be given a technical foul (犯规). Two technical fouls, and the player is out of the game.
The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it. They think it’s only natural to get angry during a close, hard-fought game if a call goes against you.
But I like the “zero tolerance” rule and wish other sports would follow the NBA’s example. Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if football, soccer and tennis players stopped arguing the calls and just played the game
The biggest reason I like the new rule is that it sets a good example to younger players. When kids see stars such as Rasheed Wallace of the Detroit Pistons shouting at the referees and arguing every call, they think it’s part of the game. But shouting at referees and arguing calls should never be part of any kid’s games. Kids should be taught to forget about the referees’ calls and pay attention to improving their skills and play their best.
All players need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance. You can’t control what the other players or trainers do. And you certainly can’t control the calls the referees make.
Finally, everyone from NBA all-stars to 8-year-olds should remember that being a basketball referee is a hard job. The referee has to make dozens of sudden calls. No hesitation. No second chances. Not even the best referee gets every call right.
Maybe if the players, trainers and fans who shout at the referees had to wear a whistle and call a few games, there wouldn’t be as many complaints about the “zero tolerance” rule.
The new rule The players are not (61) ▲ to complain too much about a referee’s call, otherwise he might be (62) ▲ out of the court.
The(63) ▲ opinion They dislike the new rule and wish it to be (64) ▲ .
They think it’s natural for them to get angry during a close game if there is a call (65) ▲ against them.
The writer’s opinion He likes the “zero-tolerance” rule and wishes it to be followed by other sports and it would be more enjoyable if players (66) ▲ arguing the calls.
The new rule does (67) ▲ a good example to younger players.
Shouting at referees and arguing calls shouldn’t be part of any kid’s games and kids should pay attention to (68) ▲ up their skills and play their best.
All players can control nothing else except their own (69) ▲ .
Everyone should keep in mind that it’s (70) ▲ to be a basketball judge.

Dear teachers and schoolmates, it’s a great pleasure for me to be here today and share with you my opinions of setting up a good teacher-student relationship.
Setting up a good teacher-student relationship is essential for students to trust their teachers and share their thoughts and feelings with them. What’s more, it can arouse students’ interest in their studies, making them concentrate on the lessons. As for teachers, by doing so they can make their lessons popular with students.
In my opinion, to set up a good teacher-student relationship, teachers’ behavior is especially important. Teachers should encourage the students to study. Good teachers are supposed to be patient, friendly and strict. They had better not help students by pushing or forcing or punishing them. Being too friendly may cause students to become lazy and stop working hard. On the other hand, being too strict may frighten students.
However, as for the students, they should always show respect for their teachers and their work. It’s significant for students to listen to their teachers attentively in class.
Thank you for listening.

As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain. Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another. “We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says. “But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer. The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours. But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
“It’s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up. “What we did is not ordinary, but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”
Some said they felt “liberated” to talk on sensitive topics. Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”
50.What can the “conversations” be best described as
A. Deep and one-on-one. B. Sensitive and mad.
C. Instant and inspiring. D. Ordinary and encouraging.
51.In a “feast of conversations”, participants ______.
A. pair freely with anyone they like
B. have a guided talk for a set of period of time
C. ask questions they themselves would not answer
D. wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features.
52.In paragraph 6, “they would be ‘intimate’” is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. they would have physical contact B. they would have in-depth talk
C. they would be close friends D. they would exchange basic information
53.From the passage, we can conclude that what Zeldin does is ______.
A. an attempt to promote thinking interaction
B. one of the maddest activities ever conducted
C. a try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideas
D. an effort to give people a chance of talking freely

Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum’s storytelling to Dad’s, researchers said.
They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.
More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.
"The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children's lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.
Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.
The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.
When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson.
"It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child's development," said Woolfson.
58．The underlined word “pastime” in the passage mot probably means .
A．old time B．entertainment C．emotion D．character
59．The author develops the passage mainly by .
A．pointing out similarities and differences B．following the natural time order
C．comparing opinions from different fields D．providing examples and statistics
60．Reading a story with their parents helped most kids aged 3-8 .
A．grow stronger B．become more emotional
C．sleep better D．become more powerful

Don’t complain in the NBA
The NBA has a new rule this season. It’s called “zero tolerance”. NBA referees are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a referee’s call. A player who does can be given a technical foul (犯规). Two technical fouls, and the player is out of the game.
The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it. They think it’s only natural to get angry during a close, hard-fought game if a call goes against you.
But I like the “zero tolerance” rule and wish other sports would follow the NBA’s example. Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if football, soccer and tennis players stopped arguing the calls and just played the game
The biggest reason I like the new rule is that it sets a good example to younger players. When kids see stars such as Rasheed Wallace of the Detroit Pistons shouting at the referees and arguing every call, they think it’s part of the game. But shouting at referees and arguing calls should never be part of any kid’s games. Kids should be taught to forget about the referees’ calls and pay attention to improving their skills and play their best.
All players need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance. You can’t control what the other players or trainers do. And you certainly can’t control the calls the referees make.
Finally, everyone from NBA all-stars to 8-year-olds should remember that being a basketball referee is a hard job. The referee has to make dozens of sudden calls. No hesitation. No second chances. Not even the best referee gets every call right.
Maybe if the players, trainers and fans who shout at the referees had to wear a whistle and call a few games, there wouldn’t be as many complaints about the “zero tolerance” rule.
The new rule The players are not (61) ▲ to complain too much about a referee’s call, otherwise he might be (62) ▲ out of the court.
The(63) ▲ opinion They dislike the new rule and wish it to be (64) ▲ .

The writer’s opinion He likes the “zero-tolerance” rule and wishes it to be followed by other sports and it would be more enjoyable if players (66) ▲ arguing the calls.
The new rule does (67) ▲ a good example to younger players.
Shouting at referees and arguing calls shouldn’t be part of any kid’s games and kids should pay attention to (68) ▲ up their skills and play their best.
All players can control nothing else except their own (69) ▲ .
Everyone should keep in mind that it’s (70) ▲ to be a basketball judge.

Dear teachers and schoolmates, it’s a great pleasure for me to be here today and share with you my opinions of setting up a good teacher-student relationship.
Setting up a good teacher-student relationship is essential for students to trust their teachers and share their thoughts and feelings with them. What’s more, it can arouse students’ interest in their studies, making them concentrate on the lessons. As for teachers, by doing so they can make their lessons popular with students.
In my opinion, to set up a good teacher-student relationship, teachers’ behavior is especially important. Teachers should encourage the students to study. Good teachers are supposed to be patient, friendly and strict. They had better not help students by pushing or forcing or punishing them. Being too friendly may cause students to become lazy and stop working hard. On the other hand, being too strict may frighten students.
However, as for the students, they should always show respect for their teachers and their work. It’s significant for students to listen to their teachers attentively in class.
Thank you for listening.
