Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young MindsB. Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC. Television’s Influence on ChildrenD. More Education TelevisionPassage5DADBCAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. A.they do not know how to enjoy themselves B.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health C.they are traveling fast all the time D.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. A.not fearing stress B.knowing the art of relaxation C.high sense of responsibility D.having control over performance 3.Which of the following statements is true? A.We can find some ways to avoid stress B.Stress is always harmful to people C.It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. D.ifferent people can withstand different amounts of stress 4.In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______. A."making a choice between 'flight' or 'fight'" B."reaction to stress both chemically and physically" C."responding to crises quickly" D."losing heart at the signs difficulties" 5.In the last sentence of the passage,"do so" refers to ______. A."expose ourselves to stress" B."find ways to deal with stress" C."remove stress from our lives"D."established links between diseases and stress"Passage6ADADCNo one knows exactly how many disabled people（残疾人）there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450million. The number of disabled people inIndiaalone is probably more than double the total population ofCanada. In theUnited 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（残疾）. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive 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（障碍）. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to 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 can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far 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, which counts. 1.The first paragraph points out that______. A.there are many disabled people in the world B.the number of disabled people inIndiais the greatest C.India has much more disabled people thatCanada D.it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people 2.The key word in paragraph 4 is _____. A.disability B.ignorance C.prejudice D.barriers 3.The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means_____. A.is most important B.is considered C.is included D.is numbered 4.Which of the following statements is not true? A.even the able-bodied many lose some of their body functions when they get older. B.there are about 10 percent disabled persons in theUK. C.the whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people D.there still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance 5.It can be concluded from the passage that____. A.we should try our best to prevent disablement B.both physical and metal barriers are hard to break down C.we just take a proper attitude towards the disabled D.the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabledPassage 7CDCAAIn theUnited States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to theAmericaof the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television. Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 1. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that__________. A. they are too slim B. they work too hardC. they are too fat D. they lose too much body fat 2. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, __________ people will have a "weight problem". A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150 3. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"? A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence. B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true. C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. D. We don't know because the information is not given. 4. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s __________. A. ate more food and had more physical activities.B. ate less food but had more activities C. ate less food and had less physical exercise D. had more weight problems 5. Modem scientific researches have reported to us that__________. A. fat people eat less food and are less active B. fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active C. fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active D. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake 1.TheU.S.will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because ________.

A. they find industry is attracting more and more college students B. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry C. they cannot resist any attraction from all sidesD. they cannot work for industry any longerPassage 2CCBCB The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, it is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you're at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it's a lot.Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your________instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you're in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don't let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we'll save more for tomorrow.

Confucius was born in today’s Qufu in Shandong Province in 551 BC. His family was far from being wealthy. But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, trying to make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a d deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school. Yan Hui, a young man of humble origin, wanted to be accepted as Confucius’s student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty providing themselves with daily necessities. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition(学费) One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “I’m ready to accept anyone that can bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu and Zi Gong about it. A few days later, all three became Confucius’s students. Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars. Through educational work, Confucius succeeded in spreading his political views, which eventually became an independent school of thought and had a great influence on China for thousands of years.【小题】(1) Confucius had become very famous by the time he turned thirty because ______.A.he had rich knowledge and took his work seriouslyB.his political view had been widely acceptedC.he was a hard-working pupil when he was young.D.many people in the government knew him well【小题】(2) The underlined phrase “turned a deaf ear to” in the first paragraph probably means “______”.A.were willing to accept somethingB.refused to listen to someoneC.gave away something important to others.D.made someone’s ear deaf【小题】(3) From the last part of the first paragraph, we can learn that _____.A.nobody hoped to send their children to school thenB.Confucius was the first person to start education for all in ChinaC.onfucius was happy to work in the governmentD.Confucius started his school with the help of the government【小题】(4) Which of the following statements is NOT true according the passage?A.Confucius used to work for the government.B.Confucius made his political views known through educational work.C.Some young men failed to be accepted by Confucius because of poverty.D.Confucius political views had a great effect on China.

No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is—who created grammar? Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented. Further evidence can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basically a pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. What’s more, they all used the signs in the same way. So the original pidgin was greatly improved. Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense—“ed” ending— may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.1.What can be inferred about the slaves’ pidgin language?A.It was difficult to understand.B.It came from different languages.C.It was created by the landowners.D.It contained highly complex grammar.2.What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language?A.No consistent signs were used for communication.B.Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.C.The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.D.The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.3.Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?A.English grammar of past tense system is inaccurate.B.Children say English past tense differently from adults.C.The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.D.Experts have proven that English was created by children.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Creators of GrammarB.The History of LanguagesC.Why Pidgins Came into BeingD.How Grammar Systems Are Used
