The eyes are one of the most expressive of body language.Keith,seventeen,from Montclair, New Jersey,
learned the hard way about one 21 the eyes can make.“I had a teacher who 22 heavily on
classroom discussion,”Keith says.“He seemed to have a strong 23 to know just when I didn’t have the
answer.I couldn’t 24 how he could be so 25 .Then it dawned on(逐渐被人明白)me. 26 I didn’
t know the answer,I would 27 looking at him.When I did know what to say,I always stared straight back
28 him. From that moment on,I 29 myself to look him in the eye,30 I knew the answer or not.That
trick has 31 me a lot of trouble.”
Many people, 32 some policemen,believe eye contact is a good 33 of testing honesty.If
someone can’t look at you directly in the eye,then he or she is not playing 34 ,they insist. After many
experiments, 35 ,a number of experiments have found out that good liars can make false eye contact.
Eye contact,though not a sure 36 of dishonesty,is a clear way to show interest in another person.
When a person looks at you and continues to do so,you know his attention is 37 on you.When he turns his
head away, his mind is probably 38 .But there is 39 .A shy person may have trouble making and
keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person.And certain nationalities,such as the
British and Germans,are much 40 oriented(适应)to eyeball-to-eyeball contact than,say,the French and
the Arabs.

A
Starting in 1972,the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn.It was
acknowledged that some forest fires,such as those which were caused by lighthing were necessary for forests to
maintain(保持)balanced ecosystems,so the fire should be allowed to burn.However, a big fire in Yellowstone
National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially(最初)allowed to burn yet
soon out of contro1.As a result,the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone,which is America’s oldest and
most beloved national park.Massive areas of plants were destroyed,and large empty spaces and acres of burned
and blackened trees greeted visitors.The rivers and streams were choked with ash,and the ecosystem of the
park was changed beyond repair.
In addition,great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control. The fires were
driven by high winds,moving as many as ten miles a day.Many small animals died in the flames.The fires’rapid
advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape.Even today,few of these small forest animals have returned to
live in the park. In the years immediately following the fires,the numbers of visitors declined rapidly.No one was
interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation.Yellowstone had previously been famous for its
amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser(喷泉)Old Faithful.But now its reputation as
America's wonder is damaged permanently.
41.Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were ______________
A. hard to put out B.started by lightning
C. good for the balance of nature D.approved by National Park Service
42.The big fire in Yellowstone in 1988 _______________.
A.became out of control at first
B.brought the natural burn policy to an end
C.was allowed to burn continuously
D.destroyed the park completely
43.Why were so many animals killed in the big fire?
A. Because winds were blown from high places.
B. Because the animals moved only ten miles a day.
C. Because the animals lived in lower places.
D. Because strong winds contributed to the fire a lot.
44.Yellowstone was famous for its ______________.
A.rare animals B.unique plants C.beautiful scenery D.1ittle streams
45. The text probably comes from _____________.
A.a geography magazine B.a news report
C.a commercial ad D.a science fiction
B
Today we’ll talk about reading.When we read a text,our eyes move across a page in short,quick
movements.We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留,凝视).Each time they fixate,we see
a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span(视幅).The length of time for which
the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any parson according to his purpose in reading
and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately,in the past,many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our
eyes move across the page.As a result of this misleading emphasis(强调)on the purely visual aspects of reading,
many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For example,in some
exercises,words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to
fix their eyes on some central point,taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often formed in
the shape of pyramids(金字塔),so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive(连续的)
fixation.All these exercises are very clever,but it' s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite
another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the
relationship between words.Consequently,for these reasons,many experts have now begun to question the
usefulness of eye training,especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words
and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
46.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except ______________.
A.1ighting and tiredness
B. the length of a group of words
C.one’s purpose in reading
D.one’s familiarity with the text
47.The author may believe that reading ______________.
A.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B.requires a reader to see words more quickly
C.demands a deeply-participating mind
D.demands more eyes than mind
48.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A.The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading.
B.The reading exercises mentioned are useless for reading.
C.The reading exercises mentioned can’t help improve reading.
D.The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.
49.Which of the following is NOT true? _______________.
A.The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time
B.Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training
C.The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading
D.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text
50.The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________.
A.critical B.neutral C.supportive D.optimistic
C
No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is
over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population
of Canada.
In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that
happens to other people:as we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing
eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life . Some people are born with
disabilities .Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive( 逐 渐 的 )disabling
diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents.Many others
may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people’s attitude towards
them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine
how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or onto buses and trains.How would you cope if you could
not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice(偏见)can be
even harder to break down and ignorance represents the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the
able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to
these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,that counts.
51.The first paragraph mainly points out that ______________.
A.there are many disabled people in the world
B.the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
C.India has much more disabled people than Canada
D.it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world’s disabled people
52.The key word in paragraph 4 is _______________.
A. disability B.ignorance C.prejudice D.barriers
53.The last word of the text“counts”most probably means ____________.
A.is most important B.is considered C.is included D.is numbered
54.Which of the following statements is NOT true? ________________.
A.even the able-bodied may become disabled in some way
B.the disabled prefer to be ignored by the able-bodied
C.prejudice against the disabled should be removed
D.The disabled make up about 10 percent in the UK’s population
55.It can be concluded from the passage that ______________.
A.we should try our best to prevent disablement
B.physical and metal barriers are equally hard to break down
C.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D.all of us will be disabled at a certain time of our life
D
It is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well. And our ancestors
already understood it well.“It takes an entire village to raise a child.”That’s an old proverb that is being quoted
more and more often these days.And I’m pleased about that.
Today,more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents,community members and businesses to
help shape a child’s future.
Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways.Helping children with homework
and studying,going on a field trip,teaching a craft(手工艺)or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to
be involved with your child's education.And don’t forget to communicate with teachers — they need and
respect your input.Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools
work together.It’s important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career.
Communities can help children create and achieve new goals.Help with homework, read to a child,coach a
children's team,or provide emotional support.Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊).Kids need role
models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.
Businesses can also help shape our children’s future.invite a class from your local school to visit your
workplace.You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities.Show students what goes on
during a typical day.Give a mini course for students:how to use a computer;how products are made;how
machinery works. You may have a developing electrician,teacher,nurse,or even a newspaper reporter on your
hands.
It really does take an entire village to raise a child.So share the responsibility— and the joy— of bringing a
child to his or her full potential.
56.The implied advice in the proverb“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ____________.
A.All the people in a village should give food to a child
B.More than one party is responsible for a child’s future
C.Children should be brought up in the village where they were born
D.Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised
57.According to the text,_____________ should talk with teachers to keep in touch with children’s growth?
A.community members B.businesses
C.organizations D.parents
58.The text was written mainly for ______________.
A.newspaper reporters and developing electricians
B.school teachers and students
C.parents and members in organizations
D.education experts and government officials
59.Students can get developed in practical working skill through ___________.
A.business training B communlty activities
C.parental involvement D.school teaching
60.Which of the following can be the main idea of idea text?
A.Parents play an important part in children’s education.
B.Communities have no effect on the way to new and high ideals.
C.Parents and other organizations should all be responsible for children’s growth
D.Businesses may arrange softie training courses for students.

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things
that shape us and make us who we are,it is the same with the challenges that come withfriendship.When we
are faced with a challenge,we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing
presenting the challenge isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits.Although there are certainly times when calling
it quits is the right thing to do,in most cases all that is needed is commitment(承诺)and communication.
When we are committed to something, it meansthat no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is,
we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it.Communication is making a space for
discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say
to a friend,“I got my feelings hurt.”rather than“You hurt my feelings.”you are going to be able to solve the problem
much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you,try to see them for what they are:small
hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life.Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get
over,and hurt only serves to make us stronger.It is all part of growing up,it happens to everyone,and some day
you will look back on all of this and say,“Hard as it was,it made me who I am today.And that is a good thing.”
61.What is the underlined word“committed”can be replaced by ____________.
A.devoted B satisfied C.smpdsed D.interested
62.It can be inferred from the text that _____________.
A. friendship needs challenges
B.challenges shape our character
C.small hurdles aren’t worth the trouble
D. commitment promotes friendship
63.The writer suggests that _____________ when faced with a challenge.
A. one should call it quits
B. one should temporarily run away from it
C. one should be committed and communicable
D.one should lay it aside for a while
64.According to the passage,if your friend hurts your feelings,you are well advised to _______________.
A.forget it B.talk to him/her about it directly
C.communicate properly with him/her D.run away from it
65.The whole passage is centered on the relationship between _____________.
A.friendship and challenges
B.commitment and communication
C.communication and friendship
D.challenges and the ways to get through

[1]A new study has found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who drink four or more servings
of soft drinks every day.
[2]The mothers of 3,000 five-year-olds took part in the study.They were asked to keep a record of how
many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period and keep records of how they
behaved . The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of
soda.Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.
[3]Children who drank the most soda were more than two times likely to show signs of aggression.“For
the children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day , we see an association between aggressive
behaviors,attention problems and withdrawn behaviors.”Shakira Suglia says.The aggressive behaviors included
destroying possessions belonging to others,taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
[4]Shakira says the researchers identified the link after they considered the factors like the child’s age and
sex.They also considered ____________,such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit
drinks on a normal day.In addition,the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that
might be taking place in the home.
[5]It is not quite clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems.However,a
substance often found in soft drinks is caffeine,which helps to make people feel energetic.Doctor Suglia suggests
that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive.
[6]The research is part of a larger study called the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study.It follows
5,000 poor mothers and their children in 20 American cities.

Dear Editor,
I’m Zhang Xiaoming, a student from Grade 3.I am writing to discuss the traffic problem near our school gate.
With so many parents coming to pick up their children, traffic jams are frequent near the school gate, causing much
inconvenience to us students as well as our teachers and passers-by.Many people have been worrying about the hidden
traffic problems.So I strongly recommend some effective and urgent measures be taken.First, we should encourage
students to ride their bicycles or walk to school by themselves instead of taking cars, which will not only help reduce the
jam but benefit students’ health as well.It is also a good idea to allow junior students to leave school 10 minutes earlier
than others.Besides, cars should not be allowed to park near the school gate.
I do hope my suggestions can be considered and the problem can be solved soon.
Yours,
Zhang Xiaoming
