A
If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.
Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You wouldn’t.
When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.
In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.
The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带) gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.
I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.
The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids

in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.
21. From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a ____________.
A. car seat B. car for children
C. safety belt D. game on islandbreeze.com
22. The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for________.
A. a person hating sitting in the car for long
B. an adult often driving a traditional car
C. a child requiring some freedom in the car
D. a driver needing comfortable seats
23. The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to ________.
A. support the topic of the child car safety
B. describe the advantage of the FreedomRide
C. introduce the detail of the author’s work and web.
D. describe what the author does with his child car seat
24. The next part following the last paragraph may mention________.

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob(暴民). Who are they? Are they mobs? Don't be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.
They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.
Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”．
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

A．③④ B．①⑤ C．②⑥ D．⑤⑥
27.Why did Bill Wasik create the flash mob?
A．To advertise some products. B．To help people make friends.
C．To laugh at fashion seekers. D．To create some memories.
28.What can we learn about the flash mob from the passage?
A．Bill Wasik organized the first successful flash mob in May, 2003.
B．People are encouraged to take a more active part in an activity.
C．Flash mobs tend to do something illegal for a short time.
D．Flash mob gathering can frighten all the people present.

Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.
Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.
29.Which of the following is true about American public media?
A. They depend on the government.
B. They are controlled by the government
C. They are free
D. They can earn money.
30. Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?
9
A. Newspapers are getting more popular.
B. Satellite media is getting more popular.
C. Traditional media also serve racial groups.
D. Some media make their programs in foreign languages
31. From the second paragraph, we learn that .
A. broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messages
B. more media are out of control
C. American media is dramatic
D. cable TV is free
32. What would be the best title for the text?
A. American news and entertainment
B. Public television and radio media
C. media in the United States
D. Cable programs in the United States

"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you.?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. "There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. "The wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said. "Waves are one of nature's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey." When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.
"The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. "We will never run out of wave power." Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface---that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.
Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. "Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
33. The underlined phrase "picking up" is closest in meaning to ______.
A. starting again B. speeding up C. improving D. gathering
34. We can make better use of wave energy if we ______.
A. shorten its journey to thousands of homes
B. build more small power stations on the oceans
C. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power
D. quicken the steps of producing electricity
9
35. It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ______.
A. our power supply B. our boat traffic
C. air pollution D. our supply of sea fish

When your pet is sick, you know it needs medication. But pets, like babies, don't know the pill you want them to take will help them. 36 Here are some tips to help get your pet to take liquid medicine.
37 If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food. First give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medication. It's important that the pet nibbles (一点一点地吃) at the food and sees that there's nothing wrong.
Next, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medication in a small amount of food and present it. Repeat as necessary to get the entire dose (剂量)down. 38 If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted.
If the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe (注射器) or a dropper (滴管) to get the liquid down your pet's throat.
39 Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesn't sense your stress or hesitation. Position your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair ---- or a cat on your lap.
40 Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth. Slowly squeeze the medication so the pet won't choke. Try to keep your pet's mouth closed for about 30 seconds until you see it has swallowed. If your pet is being obstinate (倔强的) , stroke (抚摸) its throat gently or blow on the face.
Be sure you end the process with praise and perhaps a treat so your pet will not associate medication with a bad experience.
A. Before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and
any other materials you’ll need ready.
B. Once the pet is in position, use one hand to gently open the
pet's mouth from above, tilting(倾斜) back the head slightly.
C. Ask the vet(兽医) if the liquid medication can be given with food.
D. You should know the reason why the pet refuses to take medicine.
E. Never mix the medication with the full meal.
F. They just know it smells funny and they don't want it.
G. Don’t force your pet to swallow all the medicine

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled(铺瓦) ceiling and concentrating
9
on the space where one tile is 41 .
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 42 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 43 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 44 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: Get it, replace it with a different 45 , or forget about it and 46 the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively 47 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 48 remain happy.
The first 49 is gratitude. All happy people are 50 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 51 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads people to becoming unhappy.
The second secret is 52 that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious 53 are those pursuits that give our lives purpose---anything 54 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 55 to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 56 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 57 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy; it should 58 this truth: if you choose to find the 59 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 60 your decision to make.
41. A. different B. missing C. short D. broken
42. A. nothing B. none C. all D. anything
43. A. determined B. predicted C. assumed D. imagined
44. A. completely B. naturally C. hopefully D. really

Dear Peter,
In your letter you mentioned how to get the preference of Chinese universities. I believe there would be three main aspects to be taken into account.
Initially, having a good command of Chinese is a basic need to live in China. With this ability, you can communicate with native speakers easily and have access to abundant resources. Moreover, it is vital to adapt to the new environment instantly. The sooner you can get used to the new environment, the more beneficial it will become to you. Last but not least, personal interests and hobbies are also highly valued. You should choose a major that you want to devote yourself to.
With all the strengths I mentioned above, I am sure you can overcome all the difficulties and make greater progress in China.
Best wishes and good luck!.
Yours,
Li Hua
