As computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (著迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14-­year-­old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.
Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.
Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人體罪) or robberies.
A study of 13 to 14-­year­-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over­18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to be acceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……傾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.
Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the non­violent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (隨后) flashed on screen.
小題1: We may infer from the first paragraph that 　　　　.
A．computer games have little to do with violence in real life
B．Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its plays
C．lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UK
D．legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving

A．violent movies are not so attractive to children
B．the viewers can't take part in violent movies
C．violent movies are not popular with children
D．children can win awards in violent games
小題3: What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage？
A．Further research on the harm of violent games.
B．Further differences between violent game and non­violent games.
C．Ways to protect children from violent games.
D．The result of more experimental studies.
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage？
A．Games and Murder
B．Should Computer Games become lifelike？
C．Legislation, effective or not？

  The 1980s was called the “Me Decade” because for many this time was marked by a fascination with the self. The idea that each person has a self may seem natuaral to us, but this concept is actually quite new. The idea that each human life is unique developed between the 11th and 15th centuries in Europe. Before that time, individuals were considered in relation to a group, and even today, many eastern cultures place more emphasis on the importance of a collective self than on a unique and independent self.
Both eastern and western cultures see the self as divided into an inner, private self and an outer, public self. But where they differ is in terms of which part is seen as the“real you.” Western culture tends to promote the idea of individuality—a self that is separated from other selves. In contrast, many eastern cultures focus on an inter-independent self that gets its diversity in large part from inter-relationship with others.
For example, a Confucian(孔子) idea stresses the importance of “face”—other people’s views of the self and maintaining one’s desired status in their eyes. In the past, some Asian cultures developed clear rules about the specific clothes and even colors that people in certain social classes and occupations were allowed to display, and these live on today in Japanese style manuals. This style of dress is at odds with such western practices as “casual Fridays,” which encourage employees to dress informally and express their unique selves.
小題1: Which is true about the self according to the text?
A．Many eastern cultures see the self connected with others.
B．Those born in the 1980s are generally most self-centered than others.
C．The concept that eac person has a self may seem strange to eastern cultures
D．Western cultures regard the self as an outer, public self while eastern cultures don’t.
小題2: What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about?
A．How eastern and western cultures see the self.
B．Eastern cultures contrast sharply with western cultures
C．Both eastern and western cultures appreciate the importance of self
D．Eastern cultures are as important as western cultures
小題3: A Japanese dress code is mentioned in the last paragraph to _________.
A．explain the importance of “face”
B．say how traditional the Japanese are
C．emphasize the importance of eastern cultures
D．show how eastern cultures see the self in relation to others
小題4: The underlined phrase “at odds with” most probably means_______.
A．in agreement withB．in disagreement with
C．in comparison withD．in need of

Besides providing a perfect environment for sea plants and animals to live in, seawater has other values, one of which is that it constantly moves, and its movements produce energy.
The most obvious movements are the waves and the tides. Winds cause the waves, and the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun causes the tides. In places like the Bay of Fundy in Canada, the difference between the high and low tide level can be as much as 40 feet.
France and Britain are now trying to use energy in the tides to produce electricity. Waves can produce electricity and some experiments are taking place to learn more about this. One of the most encouraging areas of research uses the difference between the temperature of seawater at the surface and deep down to produce electricity. 
小題1:Waves and tides are caused by ________ .
A．the same forcesB．different forcesC．their own movementsD．plants and animals
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that __________ .
A．waves as well as the energy in the tide can produce electricity
B．the highest tide is 40 feet higher than the lowest one at the sea

C
China’s economic growth “hard to predict”
The worsening global economic situation makes it difficult for China to predict its growth for next year, a senior official said on Friday.
“How fast China’s economy will grow next year is uncertain,” Liu He, deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Finance and Economy Work, told China Daily.
“To a large extent, the rate will be decided by the external(外部) situation,” Liu said during a discussion with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and other economists in Beijing.
“This year, GDP is estimated to grow at 9.4 or 9.5 percent, down from 10.6 percent last year,” he said. “However, the impact of the current financial turbulence on our economy is much less than on the rest of the world.”
Nicholas Stern, a former UK government advisor, also told China Daily it will take at least one or two years for the world to recover from the recession, which is now spreading from the US and the UK to the rest of the world.
“We don’t know how long the recession will last, but it is unlikely to be short,” he said.
Liu said China can use the downturn(衰退) as an opportunity to restructure its economy, which has relied heavily on government investment, foreign trade and low-cost technology over the past years.
“When the economy is experiencing fast growth, companies are unwilling to upgrade their technologies,” Liu said.
“The slowdown gives such firms the opportunity to enhance(提高) their competitive edge through better technologies.”
(From China Daily 2009-01-11)
小題1:How many people are mentioned in this passage?
A．Only 2.B．No more than 3.C．Not more than 4.D．At least 5.
小題2:It can be inferred from Liu’s words that the impact of the current financial turbulence on China’s economy is ______.
A．moreB．lessC．the mostD．the least
小題3:The underlines word “extent” probably means ______.
A．senseB．degreeC．sizeD．depth
小題4: According to the passage, the reason why Liu said this downturn is an opportunity for China to restructure its economy is that ______.
A．China’s economy will not depend on government investment in the future
B．Foreign trade will grow in the future
C．The downturn will force China’s companies to upgrade their technologies
D．Low-cost technologies will not exist in China

Chinese tradition says a different animal represents each new year of the 12-year Chinese Zodiac(黃道十二宮) cycle. According to the Chinese calendar, the year you were born may determine your personality. Every year of this cycle is represented by an animal, and legend has it that people born under that animal have certain personality traits. Here are some of them:
Dragon
The Real Thing: The mythical dragon is a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture. One of the most popular figures in Chinese art, the dragon is believed to be a combination of nine animals, including a frog, a tiger, an eagle, and a fish.
Born a Dragon: You go out of your way to help your friends, who often seek you out for advice. Your outgoing personality helps you get along with many types of people.
Snake
The Real Thing: Snakes have great instincts. Some “play dead” to fool predators（捕食者）, and most sense prey by detecting ground vibration（震動）. They can take more than an hour to swallow a meal, and they become inactive for up to two weeks before they shed their skin.
Born a Snake: You rely on yourself before asking others their opinions. At times you want to take a break from the action. It’s not that you are lazy---sometimes you just like to think.
Pig
The Real Thing: Domesticated（馴養(yǎng)）pigs have been helping human for about 9,000 years. Incredibly intelligent, a pig shows its smarts by rolling in mud and sticking its snout in dirt. Why? The mud keeps it cool, and rooting in the dirt provides important vitamins.
Born a Pig: Smart and caring, you live to help other people. You have great taste and love to wallow in the nicer things in life.
Rat
The Real Thing: Most rats are highly adaptable. They can live just about anywhere and eat about anything. Before brown rats leave their underground burrows, these clever creatures send one rat ahead to make sure danger doesn’t exist outside.
Born a Rat: You welcome challenges and enjoy learning about new things. Funny and smart, you are generous and will protect your pack of friends. 
______
The Real Thing: The largest of the big cats, they hunt alone. They secretly move towards prey, then leap and attack when the time seems right. Dinner still escapes most of the time.
Born a _____: You are a natural leader but often like to do things by yourself. (That’s how you stay in charge!) You believe in fighting for what’s right, even if you’ll lose in the end.
小題1:  According to the description of the last animal, we can choose _____ to fill in the blanks.

American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial(種族) conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing.   　　
After World War II city residents became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.
　　Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They unlike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives(主管人員) are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.
This population shift(轉變) is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is for sure：many dying cities are alive again.
小題1:What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A．They are alive.B．They are hopeless.
C．They are similarD．They are different.
小題2:Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A．Because older American cities were dying.
B．Because they were richer and needed more space.
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
小題3:According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities ___________. 
A．are faced with housing problems
B．are faced to move to the suburbs
C．want to sell their buildings
D．need more money for daily expenses
小題4:We can conclude from the text that ____________.
A．American cities are changing for the worse
B．people have different views on American cities
C．many people are now moving from American cities
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities
