When we’re little, our mother is the center of our attention, and we are the center of hers. So our mother’s characteristics leave an indelible(持久的)impression, and we are forever after attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor. If our mother is warm and giving, as adults  we tend to be attracted to people who are warm and giving. If our mother is strong and even-tempered, we  are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates.
The mother has an additional influence on her sons: she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general. So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that’s the way women are. They will probably grow up to be warm and responsive lovers and also be cooperative around the house.
Conversely, a mother who has a depressive personality, and is sometimes friendly but then suddenly turns cold and rejecting, may raise a man who becomes a “dance-away lover”. Because he’s been so scared about love from his mother, he’s afraid of commitment and may pull away from a girlfriend for this reason.
While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate, it’s the father—the first male in our lives—who influences how we relate to the opposite sex. Fathers have an enormous effect on their children’s personalities and chances of marital happiness.
Just as mothers influence their son’s general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men. If a father lavishes praise on his daughter and demonstrates that she is a worthwhile person, she’ll feel very good about herself in relation to men. But if the father is cold, critical or absent, the daughter will tend to feel she’s not very lovable or attractive.
In addition, most of us grow up with people of similar social circumstances. We hang around with people in the same town; our friends have about the same educational backgrounds and career goals. We tend to be most comfortable with these people, and therefore we tend to link up with others whose families are often much like our own.
小題1:Why do our mother’s characteristics leave us an indelible impression?
A．Because we are likely to be attached to people with her characteristics.
B．Because the mother and her child are the centers of each other when her child is very young.
C．Because our mother is better than our dad.
D．Because our mother is a woman who is kind to us.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．If our mother is warm and giving, we love to be together with warm and generous people.
B．If our mother is strong and well-controlled, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in
our mates.
C．Mother not only gives her children clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects
how they feel about women in general.
D．Fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men.
小題3:What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．The mother only influences her sons.
B．The sons always think women are warm and nice.
C．A mother who has a depressive personality is sure to raise a dance-away lover.
D．The mother has an additional influence on her sons.
小題4:What does the underlined word “l(fā)avishes” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Uses much.B．Uses little.C．Never uses.D．Seldom uses.
小題5:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Mothers’ influence on their sons.B．Parents’ influence on their children.
C．Parents’ impression on their children.D．Fathers’ influence on their daughters.

Celebrating sleep
World Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.
In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed（診斷） with insomnia(失眠)  and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline (臨界狀態(tài))insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 per cent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also relate to sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey’s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

Recently we asked how you felt about calculators (計算器) at school. We heard from about thirty people in twelve countries, including a large number of Chinese.
Turbo Zhang writes, "My brain is slow because I have a calculator everywhere, on my mobile phone, on my computer, etc. New technology makes us use everything except our brains."
Joony Zhu says calculators can provide us with answers we may not completely understand. As a student at an engineering college in China, he calls using a calculator "a kind of laziness".
Khaled Hamza from Cairo says calculators have a bad effect because "you don’t need to make an effort to get a result."
Hemin, a math teacher in Kurdistan-Iraq, says good math skills are life skills. So he believes in solving problems with a pencil until high school. "You should take the trouble to work out problems without calculators. Then you come to respect the power of these machines."
But He Wenbo from China says calculators reduce careless mistakes. "When I was young we couldn’t use calculators. But when I entered high school we had to solve a lot of math problems. The calculator made my homework easier."
Michel says, "My handheld calculator has been important in my studies and even in my life." But he also advises, "As we’re enjoying using calculators, be careful to avoid their bad effects."
Finally, Thomas, a student in China, wants to tell us he likes a special calculator which he does not know how to use. In English we call it an abacus (算盤).Title: A Survey on the Use of (66)______ Disadvantage Turbo ZhangMy brain is slow (67)______ I have calculators everywhere.

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）
No first lesson is more important than the one on personal safety for kids. The First Lesson of the New TERM, a TV documentary(紀(jì)錄片) about how to protect oneself in times of emergency, is meant to provide school students with the knowledge on self-protection. It will help students in case of natural disasters, snowstorms or floods.
There are times when one can be helpless and hopeless in many life-threatening situations. But that does not mean we _______ the end of life at that time. Many examples show that enough knowledge about self-protection along with enough courage and determination can help many survive.
The most recent example is from May earthquake in Sichuan Province. Thousands of school kids were killed by collapsed(坍塌的) school buildings, while all students from a middle school survives even without a single one being hurt. That’s because of their timely and orderly escape, which they had been drilled in every term.
Japan has set a good example for us in safety lessons. Survival exercises are held in Japanese schools every year. With different kinds of competitions and training, schools help the students be aware and capable of surviving disasters.
It’s good to see this program is the core(核心) of a national campaign to warn students the importance of personal safety. Chinese Education Ministry has called on all schools nationwide to give lessons on self-protection knowledge in times of emergency every term.
Life is weak but can be strengthened when one is equipped with enough knowledge on how to best survive.
小題1:What will be helpful for students to survive natural disasters? (Please answer within 15 words)
小題2:Fill in the blank in paragraph 2 with a proper phrase or words. (Please answer within 2 words)
小題3:What is the purpose of the passage? (Please answer within 15 words)

Star Wars Millennium Falcon
This is a gift that, if we’re being honest, many dads wants to own for themselves. This huge ship is the greatest Star Wars toy. It lights up and makes some noises. Every boy from 3 to 53 will absolutely like it, if they can find room for it. I dare say even a few grandfathers might go for it.
Biscuit----the Loving Pup
You may clearly know that a pet can be a great thing to a child’s development but you probably don’t think that you can take care of a dog properly. The robot dog Biscuit is less likely to exacerbate the disorder of your house and except for a few dead batteries, won’t leave any surprises on the floor. It will be a good playmate for your kids.
JVC KD—10 Headphones
It’s increasing common for kids to enjoy themselves on long journeys with a potable(便攜式) DVD player or an iPod MPs, but the headphones that come with expensive electronics are seldom suitable for young ears. Kids should use JVC headphones that have a sound limiter that can be set by the concerned parent.
Sparrow-kids Routemaster Kit
Sparrow-kids Kit makes a huge range of craft(工藝) tools. There are lots of pretty but achievable projects for young girls to take up their (safe plastic) needles and sew.
Holz Wooden Airport
It might be said that Britain doesn’t need another airport but when it’s a traditional wooden toy like this all of you would agree that it’s a good thing. Treated with a little care, this play-set could easily entertain your young air traffic controllers.
68. The underlined word “ exacerbate” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. worsen       B. improve      C. protect      D. cure

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題，每題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book, like:
Title.
Author.
Place of publication; publisher, date of publication.
Number of pages.
Like most pieces of writing, the review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say. The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again, so your readers don’t have to look up to find this information. You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book, the purpose or audience for the book, and your reaction and evaluation.
Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses criteria for judging the book. Next, the review gives a summary of the main points of the book, quoting(引用) and explaining key phrases from the author. Finally, you get to the heart of your review – your evaluation of the book. In this section, you might discuss some of the following issues:
how well the book has achieved its goal
what possibilities are suggested by the book
what the book has left out
how the book compares with others on the subject
what specific points are not convincing
what personal experiences you’ve had related to the subject.
It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author’s, so that you don’t confuse your reader.
Then, like other essays, you can end with a direct comment on the book, and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.
There is, of course, no set form, but a general rule is that the first one – half to two – thirds of the review should summarize the author’s main ideas and at least one – third should evaluate the book.
56．What is the most important part of a book review?
A．The heading.           B．The evaluation.
C．The conclusion.              D．The introduction.
57．It can be confusing to readers if __________.
A．there is no heading in a book review
B．the book has achieved its goal
C．the viewer’s point of view is not distinguished from the author’s
D．the book is compared with others on the same subject
58．What is NOT suggested for a book review in this passage?
A．Quoting from the author of the book.
B．Providing some book information.
C．Analyzing only the author of the book.
D．Comparing the book with others of a similar subject.
59．The best title for this passage is “__________”.
A．Steps to follow
B．Tips for writing a book review
C．The way to develop your idea

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, he said, “is for Elizabeth” 。
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, the little interest, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my desk, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
31. The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
A. after Mother died             B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child          D. when Mother gave it to her
32. The passage shows about _______.
A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
33. The word “gulf” in the 4th paragraph means _______.
A. part of the sea going far in land
B. free talks between mother and daughter
C. different ideas between the mother and daughter
D. deep understanding between the old and the young
34. What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. She read the letter again and again till she died.
C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
D. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. My letter to Mother                 B. Mother and children
C. My Mother’s Desk                  D. Talks between Mother and Me
