As the mobile phones so widely appear in our daily life, someone said it would be cool if you didn’t have a mobile phone nowadays. It might be true to some extent, but as for an adult, a mobile means contact. It connects your work, relatives, friends, etc. It should do great deeds for us.
Months ago, my uncle gave his dear son a phone, because my nephew’s school is far from his home. He can only come back once a term, and the phones haven’t been so expensive yet. However, someone has criticized （批評(píng)） the young people for playing on mobiles, but not using. They are fond of sending messages, taking pictures and so on. They buy expensive, high level and fashion types for showing. They play on the mobiles day in and day out ….. Holy cow!
So, what happens to youngsters around you? Do they have a phone? What do they use it for? Do you think it’s necessary for teenagers who are still in school to have a phone?
POSTER 1:
In my view, mobile phones are only a tool for communication purpose, just like any other tools which have the potential (潛力) to be misused. In my opinion, I can see young people using it for security reason, emergency purpose, etc. If the parents can afford to pay big phone bills for their kids, well, that’s their business, like the old saying goes, “l(fā)ive and let live.”
--- Mary Smith
POSTER 2:
From psychological (心理學(xué)的) point of view, teenagers are more likely to be relaxed or pleasure-oriented. They would like to make something different. Buying brands that are considered “COOL” is important to them. They want others to like and admire themselves, and sometimes, even exaggerate(夸大)their own personality to show off. This can be seen as a kind of psychology during this certain range of age.
--- Dick Gates
Currently, people should tend to be more sociable, and age should not be seen as a barrier for teenagers to own their phones. They also need to set trends on the social circuit (社交圈). But here parents should play an important role in controlling their children about how to use the phones more properly.                                         
小題1: We can learn from the first sentence of the passage that ________.
A．people admire those who don’t have mobile phones
B．people don’t like to have mobile phones nowadays
C．mobile phones are too popular among people now
D．mobile phones are not as useful as before
小題2: Why are some teenagers criticized according to the second paragraph?
A．They use mobile phones for playing instead of using.
B．They don’t use mobile phones for their study.
C．They play “Holy Cow” games in mobile phones.
D．They buy expensive, fashionable mobile phones.
小題3:By saying “l(fā)ive and let live”, Mary Smith means that _________.
A．teenagers shouldn’t use mobile phones
B．parents should buy mobile phones for their children
C．teenagers can use mobile phones if their parents don’t mind
D．teenagers should use mobile phones for communication
小題4:What is Dick Gates’ attitude towards whether teenagers should use mobile phones?
A．Supportive.B．Objective. （客觀的）
C．Negative. （消極的）D．Uninterested.

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:B

試題分析: 本文講的是手機(jī)在日常生活中的作用越為越多，做為孩子可以擁有手機(jī)，但他們大多數(shù)時(shí)候是用來(lái)玩，消磨時(shí)間，而忽略它的溝通作用。做為家長(zhǎng)來(lái)說(shuō)，要積極的引導(dǎo)孩子 。
小題1:C 段落大意。第一句話As the mobile phones so widely appear in our daily life, someone said it would be cool if you didn’t have a mobile phone nowadays.概括段意，手機(jī)越來(lái)越廣泛的出現(xiàn)在人們的生活中，故C項(xiàng)符合題意 。
小題2:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中提到的someone has criticized （批評(píng)） the young people for playing on mobiles, but not using，青少年們只是玩手機(jī)而不是利用它，因些受到批評(píng)，所以選A項(xiàng)。
小題3:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上文提到內(nèi)容. If the parents can afford to pay big phone bills for their kids, well, that’s their business，如果父母能支付得起孩子的花費(fèi)的話，那是他們的事，作者主張看個(gè)人意愿了，所以選C項(xiàng)。
小題4:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段提到的Buying brands that are considered “COOL” is important to them. They want others to like and admire themselves, and sometimes, even exaggerate(夸大)their own personality to show off. This can be seen as a kind of psychology during this certain range of age.對(duì)孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，買(mǎi)某些東西只為追求酷，甚至是更多的是炫耀，這是這個(gè)年齡段孩子們的一種心理，所以這是比較客觀的分析，故選B項(xiàng)。

Coming home from school, I was filled with excitement. But I was       into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the end of the sofa,        , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me she couldn’t type fast and she was out of work. My shock at finding mother in tears was a perfect       of how     I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very     to understand. I could      her pain and the tension (壓力) of     the strong feeling that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly,  something inside me     . I reached out and put my arms around her.

I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone.       I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to find out what to      . On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but       I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a       for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for       friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And      , I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting places was harder, too. I got       because I couldn’t use the GPS (汽車(chē)導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot       because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while       with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (聯(lián)絡(luò)簿). I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I       the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn’t       my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found       not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail.
This       was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the       things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend       on our cell phones.

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides, following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member…. These are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（協(xié)調(diào)）needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
小題1:Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _____.
A．be a team leaderB．a(chǎn)ct as a grown-up
C．obey the basic rulesD．predict possible danger
小題2:The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can_____.
A．describe life in an exciting way
B．turn real-life experiences into a play
C．change people’s views of sporting events
D．make learning life skills more interesting
小題3:According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A．It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
B．It inspires people’s deep love for the country.
C．It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D．It earns the winners fame and fortune.
小題4:Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.
A．bring fun to poor kids
B．provide soccer balls for children
C．give poor kids a chance for a better life
D．a(chǎn)ppeal to soccer players to help poor kids

My interest in Chinese food started years a90, when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants．
The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature.
Many years ago, China had an energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their valuable wood，or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.
In order to economize in cookin9, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor一and it's this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.
小題1:This text is mainly about________.
A．what caused Chinese food to taste fresh
B．how Chinese food is cooked in the US
C．when the author started to make Chinese food
D．why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food
小題2:The author mentioned the energy crisis to show________.
A．it is important to protect the forests
B．it is necessary to find substitutes for wood
C．why the Chinese changed their way of cooking
D．what problems a big population is causing China today
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis Chinese food________.
A．was cooked in rather large pieces
B．was cooked in water but not oil
C．didn’t taste good
D．didn’t look fresh

"Oh, you must have been a spoiled(寵壞的) kid. You must be really bossy. I wonder what you're going to be like to deal with?" That's often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she's an only child, she told ABC News, Despite such negative(消極的) remarks, Hult has decided to have only one child herself. And she's not alone.
According to the US' Office for National Statistics, women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of l.9 children in 2004, compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976. The percentage of one-child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.
But even though only children are becoming increasingly common, the traditional view that they're selfish, spoilt and lack social skills holds strong. Even parents of only children, like Hult, are made to feel guilty about having only one child. Worried that they're being selfish and endangering their child's future, they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice. Soon, however, they ask themselves: is this social prejudice really reasonable?
"There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers(同齡人) ," Susan Newman, a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US, told ABC News.
This raises another question: why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?
"There is a belief that's been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous, both for you and for the continuation of your race," Toni Falbo, a professor of educational psychology, told the Guardian." In the past a lot of children died, You'd have had to be crazy to only have one. "
Times, of course, have changed and infant mortality(嬰兒死亡率) has largely reduced. So what do only children themselves say?
Kayley Kravitz, a blogger for The Huffington Post, grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience. "Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all: the ability to be alone," she said.
小題1:Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Are only children lonely?
B．Are only children common?
C．Are only children dangerous?
D．Are only children different?
小題2:What does Susan Newman mean?
A．Only children are as good as their peers.
B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.
C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.
D．Parents will endanger their only child's future.
小題3:What is the common belief since human existed?
A．The infant death rate always stays high.
B．People are crazy to have only one child.
C．It's easy for only children to earn their living.
D．It's hard to continue the family line with only one child.
小題4:An only child like Kayley _______.
A．must be difficult to persuade
B．can possibly learn to be alone
C．should value special skills
D．need ignore bad experience
小題5:What's the author's attitude towards having only one child?
A．Neutral.B．Negative.C．Positive.D．Doubtful.

When the recent research was analyzed（分析）, it was found that a lot of people wanted free pictures or free music from the Web. If it couldn’t be free, then they wanted it “new” or at least at a low price. It seems that 70 percent of people aged 16 to 24 download music online but only 1 in 40 tracks are bought legally.
Thus, some companies are planning to give all of their music away for free. The music will be totally free except that you will have to pay with your time by watching advertisements. This will be perfect for those who have lots of time but little money.
The Web has encouraged a belief that things can be free, or at least very cheap. It seems that everyone is looking for a good deal on the Web. The desire for free objects is part of the nature of the Web because the Web is about self-service and self-service is all about being free, cheap, fast and convenient. It’s interesting how words change their meaning. Stealing has now become file sharing, but it’s not really stealing, is it?
Free is a funny word. We all know that very little is really for free. If we go searching on the Web for free music, we know—or should know—that there are risks involved. However, it doesn’t matter. We still want free things, or at least the sense that we’re getting a real bargain and that at a minimum we’re saving time.
What can be the worst experience on the Web? A site that charges us high prices and wastes our time.
小題1:What is the best title for the text?
A．The Nature of the WebB．The Web and the Culture of “ Free”
C．Stealing and File SharingD．What Does the Word “ Free” Mean?
小題2:Why do some companies “ sell” their music for free?
A．Their music is not popular and is out of date.
B．Most people have lots of time but little money.
C．Their music can’t be sold new or for a low price.
D．They can earn money from the advertisements added in the music.
小題3:Which of the following can best describe the belief of the Web?
A．Risky behaviourB．StealingC．File sharingD．For fun.

Dae Jang Geum 《大長(zhǎng)今》 is a hot new Korean TV series. Because of this series, my personal status (地位) and living standard have been greatly     . My girlfriend used to cook every evening.
