A
Noad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girl but expected to marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything – he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Noad had two choices. He could either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a comma on his bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.
For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a strong culture and sense of community protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world.Itis an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel community which provides luxury accommodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annually to the holiday island.
Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story – one which exists in stark contrast to the sun, sand and sea “dream”. The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate(侨民) resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting company which provides day trips to tourists. “Sometimes I have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” The husband’s father, unfamiliar with Western support systems, combats his son’s behavior by calling in the dukun, a spiritual “healer” who makes offerings to the “bad” spirits at play in his mind.
21.You would expect to find this passage in ________________.
A . an advertisement B .a newspaper
C .a travel brochure D .a book
22.It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that the third choice that Noad’s family failed to foresee is
that ____________.
A. he fell into sleep
B .he went against their wishes and left home
C .he started to take drugs
D .he committed suicide
23.In paragraph 2 “it” refers to ______.
A .strong culture B .sense of community
C . the modern world D .heavenly paradise

Increasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店). Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.
Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Internet for medical answers – most of them aren’t nearly skeptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn’t. Look up “headache”, and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.
The problem is most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的), so it’d hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
24.According to the text, an increasing number of American _____.
A . turn to Internet pharmacies for help
B . are suffering from mental disorders
C .like to play deadly games with doctors
D .are skeptical about surfing medical websites
25.Some Americans stay away from doctors because they _____.
A .find medical devices easy to operate
B .prefer to be diagnosed online by doctors
C .are afraid to misuse their health insurance
D .are afraid to face the truth of their health
26.According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______.
A .more than 6 million Americans distrust doctors
B .only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profit
C .72percentof health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts
D .about 10 percent of the websites surveyed are of high quality
27.Which of the following is the author’s main argument?
A .It’s cheap to self-treat your own illness.
B .It’s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.
C. It’s dangerous to be your own doctor
D .It’s .reasonable to put up a medical website
C
The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren’t trying to solve one of the world’s most urgent problems．They were just trying to survive．They lived in the desert，and they didn’t have enough water to grow their crops．
In its simplest form, it was little more than a pipe with holes in it. But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water. Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots, the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants, getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water．
Over time, the farmers improved upon the technology, perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water, and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when．
If the global population kept growing, the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert. So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world，eventually expanding to more than 110 countries. Netafirm, the company says it’s lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer．
The mass adoption of drip irrigation won’t save the world by itself. To avoid the coming catastrophe, nearly everybody will, in some way, have to do more with less, perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies. Otherwise, it’s going to get ugly．
28.Why is drip irrigation called “the revolutionary technology”?
A .It saves the world all by itself．
B .It can be sold to other countries．
C .It provides deserts with water．
D .It makes irrigation more effective．
29.What does “one of the world’s most urgent problems ”in Paragraph l refer to?
A .Misusing irrigation． B .．Lacking water
C .Growing population． D .Expanding desert．
30.How did farmers improve upon the drip irrigation technology?
A. By drilling holes on the pipes．
B .By placing pipes just above roots.
C. By connecting pipe lines to computers．
D .By snaking pipes along the crops.
31.Which of the following will be the best slogan (口号) for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?
A .New technology; New world． B . Less water; More harvest．
C .More grain；Less starvation． D .Water saving；World surviving．
D

Wedding in the United States
Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare; there are weddings on mountain tops with guests (61) (seat) on the rocks and even barefooted; and there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, (62) __ or how they are performed，include certain traditional customs.
Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes (63) (exciting) moment of all.
The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The wedding party is walking through the aisle of the church as the Wedding March (64) (play). The bride carrying a bouquet (花束) enters last with her father who will “give her away”. The groom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar (圣坛), the bride and groom exchange vows. (65) _ is traditional to use the words “To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part”. (66) _ (follow) the vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
(67) the ceremony there is often a party called a “reception”, which gives the wedding guests an
opportunity to congratulate the newlywed.
The car in (68) the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons, streamer and shaving cream. The words “Just Married” are painted on the trunk or back window to tell people (69) they are married. Now comes the last step of the wedding ceremony. As a tradition, the bride and the groom (70) run to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. When the couple drives away from the church, friends often chase them in cars, honking (鸣喇叭) and drawing attention to them. And then the couple go on their honeymoon.

I'm writing to tell you about the debate we've had whether it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.
The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone. And what's more, it's a fashion.
However, most teachers think otherwise, arguing that middle school students are not old enough to control themselves. It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it's easy to cause the students to vie with each other. If necessary they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.
In my opinion, following the fashion is understandable. But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our study.
