【題目】閱讀理解
As computers become more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more?In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students.Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen,I find I often can't remember how to write a character,though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about.Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting,people can get to know one's thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities,some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
(1)The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.
A.getting bored with

A.Handwriting contains the writer's emotions.
B.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
C.Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self-confidence.

(4)Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

In much of Asia, especially the so-called “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine(使……結(jié)合)different kinds of hardwoods and metal (create) special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, (use) twigs(樹枝)to remove it. Over time, the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which (gradual) turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced(影響)the (develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killing and (be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally eat their hands.

【題目】閱讀理解
Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范圍) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
(1)The writer thinks that one must ___________.
A.read as many books as he can
B.read books on the subjects that interest him
C.read and absorb a lot
D.try to read books on all the different subjects
(2)A cultured man is similar to a camel because __________.
A.neither of them is interested in knowledge
B.both of them have the ability to select
C.neither of them can be considered wise
D.the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
(3)The term “mental food” refers to ____________-.
A.grassland
B.subjects
C.books
D.brain
(4)In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses___________.
A.how to compare furniture with books
B.why books must be absorbed
C.how to select reading materials
D.why students go to a library

【題目】Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. 1Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. The French think of conversation as an art form. 2For them, arguments can be interesting---and they can cover pretty much or any topic---as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.

In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. 3They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.

4This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport.5

A.Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.

B.You may feel free to ask your Latin American friends similar questions.

C.Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable in a particular culture.

D.In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private.

E.In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable.

F.They enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.

G.As a general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Exercise may help to safeguard the mind against depression(沮喪) through previously unknown effects on working muscles, according to a new study involving mice.
Mental health experts have long been aware that even mild, repeated stress can contribute to the development of depression and other mood disorders in animals and people. Scientists have also known that exercise seems to cushion against depression. But precisely how exercise, a physical activity can reduce someone's risk for depression, a mood state, has been mysterious. So for the new study, researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm studied the brains and behavior of mice in a complicated and novel fashion.
We can't ask mice if they are feeling cheerful or in low spirits. Instead, researchers have pictured certain behaviors that indicate depression in mice. If animals lose weight, stop seeking out a sugar solution when it's available — because, probably, they no longer experience normal pleasures — or give up trying to escape from the cold-water zone just freeze in place, they are categorized as depressed. And in the new experiment, after five weeks of frequent but low-level stress, such as being lightly shocked, mice displayed exactly those behaviors. They became depressed.
The scientists could then have tested whether exercise blunts (延緩) the risk of developing depression after stress by having mice run first. But, frankly, from earlier research, they wanted to know how, so they bred pre-exercised mice. A wealth of earlier research by these scientists and others had shown that aerobic exercise, in both mice and people, increases the production within muscles of an enzyme (酶) called PGC-1alpha. The Karolinska scientists suspected(懷疑) that this enzyme somehow creates conditions within the body that protect the brain against depression. Then, the scientists exposed the animals, which without exercising, were in high levels of PGC-1alpha to five weeks of mild stress. The mice responded with slight symptoms of worry. But they did not develop depression. They continued to seek out sugar and fought to get out of the cold-water zone. Their high levels of PGC-1alpha appeared to make them depression-resistant(抵抗的). Finally, to ensure that these findings are relevant to people, the researchers had a group of adult volunteers complete three weeks of frequent endurance training, consisting of 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or jogging. The scientists conducted muscle biopsies (活體檢查) before and after the program and found that by the end of the three weeks, the volunteers' muscle cells contained substantially more PGC-1alpha than at the study's start.
The finding of these results, in the simplest terms, is that “you reduce the risk of getting depression when you exercise,” said Maria Lindskog, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute.
(1)The researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm conducted the new study hoping to know ________.
A.if exercise cushions against depression
B.what can lead to depression in animals and people
C.if stress can contribute to the development of depression
D.how exercise contributes to reducing someone's risk for depression
(2)We can infer from the new experiment conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute that mice are depressed except when ________.
A.they attempt to escape from the cold-water zone
B.they stop searching for the sugar water
C.they stand still in place
D.they can't experience normal pleasures any longer
(3)Researchers asked a group of adult volunteers to complete three weeks of frequent endurance training in order to ________.
A.know if exercise can help to safeguard the mind against depression
B.know if they can endure 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or jogging
C.ensure they can lose weight after moderate cycling or jogging
D.confirm the findings above are also relevant to people
(4)It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A.the mice with high levels of PGC-1alpha are easier to develop depression
B.athletes are more likely to develop depression than ordinary people
C.the enzyme called PGC-1alpha helps to reduce depression
D.in the past mental health specialists didn't know exercise could help reduce depression
