For the blanks with a given word，fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word ； for the other blanks，use one word that best fits each blank. Right now in schools across the country children are busy selling Pepsi-Cola in the name of education. They are part of Pepsi’s “Learn and Earn Project” -- a competition 【1】 (set) up by Pepsi once a year that encourages students to sell the soft drink at parties. According to materials the company 【2】 (send) to the teachers，the project declares “help strengthen students’ broad understandings of business, particularly its broad marketing and management aspects”. 【3】 it fulfills this objective or not, it does succeed in selling Pepsi. The “Learn and Earn Project” is just one example of the hundreds of ways food companies 【4】 (encourage) the buying of their products in schools. Particularly in the fields of nutrition and home economics, companies send numerous “teaching aids”: highly professional films, shiny workbooks and pamphlets, 【5】 available to teachers at well below commercial rates 【6】 free. For example, the Savennach Sugar Refining Corp.，put out a book for students called “Sugar Through the Ages” which includes statements such as “Scientists have found that generous amounts of sugar 【7】 (be) a valuable part of well-balanced diets for growing children”. By far, 【8】 (large) supplier of nutrition materials to schools is the National Dairy Council, which provides all sorts of pamphlets 【9】 (address) questions ranging from “How am I doing socially?” to “How am I doing physically?” These materials are full of things about dairy products, daily calcium requirement, etc. But nutrition and home economics are not the only areas 【10】 companies have found a Lucrative (有利可图的)form of advertising. |

It seems to know you're a woman in your late 20s and, in fact, it does. When you look at the display, it scans your facial features and 【1】 its messages to you. Once the stuff of science fiction and high-tech crime fighting, facial recognition technology has become one of the newest tools in marketing, even though 【2】 concerns a lot. Kraft Foods Inc. and Adidas say they are planning to 【3】 with it as early as this year to push their products. The commercial 【4】 of facial recognition are in contrast to those being used by law enforcement to 【5】 specific individuals. Companies，at least at this point, 【6】 just want to discover a demographic (人口 的)based on age and gender to be applied in their ads. But even this facial recognition-lite alarms privacy 【7】，given that it could greatly popularize and expand use of the technology. Intel Corp.，which makes such software, said it’s widely 【8】. “You can put this technology into public phone booth, vending machines, digital signs,” said Christopher O'Malley, director of retail marketing for Intel’s embedded and communications group. “It’s going to become a much more 【9】 thing in the next few years. ” So far, the technology is 【10】 used in Japan, where a variety of businesses use it to make ads. |

An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a _______ of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit to be _______ by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who _______ the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program _______ author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and _______ to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” _______. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories _______ of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about _______ and character. The only problem arose in New York, where _______ readers could not decide on which book to represent the huge and __________ population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and __________ into the choice of the book __________ discussion about a book itself. __________，as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are __________ by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not __________ have shared a word. 【1】A.sense B.feel C.appreciation D.impression 【2】A.discouraged B.monitored C.enjoyed D.appealed 【3】A.mattered B.motivated C.analyzed D.launched 【4】A.used B.transformed C.measured D.stimulated 【5】A.still B.even C.only D.very 【6】A.task B.program C.event D.design 【7】A.explained B.inferred C.emerged D.showed 【8】A.transmission B.argument C.scanning D.plot 【9】A.interested B.educated C.foreign D.local 【10】A.diverse B.available C.undeveloped D.colorful 【11】A.passion B.finance C.nervousness D.temperature 【12】A.other than B.rather than C.let alone D.regardless of 【13】A.Highly B.Subconsciously C.Ultimately D.Directly 【14】A.expanded B.enriched C.reserved D.persevered 【15】A.otherwise B.certainly C.else D.eventually |

In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇吼)or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t, pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. 【1】People will feel happy, according to the author's findings, when __________. A.they offer their help to others B.they receive others’ help C.they feel others’ kindness to them D.they show their weakness to other people 【2】Why does the author feel sad sometimes? A.Because he has a soft heart, showing sympathy to others. B.Because he is disabled and relies much on others. C.Because some people pretend to be kind, but in fact they are not. D.Because some people fail to see the kindness in others. 【3】What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights? A.They sped up to pass because they didn’t want to wait. B.They stopped their cars to offer help. C.丁hey put on their flashlights too. D.They waited with patience. 【4】In this passage, the author advises us to _________. A.be independent of others and handle problems by ourselves B.accept help from others for everything C.admit our weakness D.show our bravery |

In 1500, the world’s population was about 435 million. Today，it is 5. 5 billion, with more than a million children being born every day. The rapid growth in population since 1800 is largely due to improvements in food production and medical knowledge. In many parts of the world, rapid population growth causes serious problems, such as food shortages and overcrowding in cities.

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (发电)and transmission (输送)system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around. The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地)offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns，which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died. Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now. So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species (物 种)will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects. The lasting effects of these trade-offs arc another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways. The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West. 【1】The problem caused by the construction of the railways was that __________. A.small towns along the railways became abandoned B.some railroad stops remained underused C.land in the West was hard to manage D.land grants went into private hands 【2】According to the last two paragraphs, the major concern in the development of alternative energy is __________. A.the transmission of power B.the use of money and power C.the conservation of solar energy D.the selection of an ideal place 【3】As far as building solar plants is concerned, the author’s attitude towards it is ____. A.cautious B.approving C.doubtful D.disapproving 【4】Which is the best title for the passage? A.How the Railways Have Affected the West B.How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West C.How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced D.How the Problems of the Highways I have Been Settled |

Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. 【1】 The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do，but how we behave when we don’t know what to do. The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. 【2】 Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely set of attitudes. Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright，or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, unite himself with it. 【3】 On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. 【4】 The dull child is usually afraid to try at all, It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once； if that try fails, he is through. A. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life. B. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. C. He takes it for granted that he is the most intelligent guy in the world. D. He continues his pursuit until he finally succeeds. E. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. F. There is no wall between himself and life. |

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. A good story encourages us to turn the next page and read more. We want to find out what happens next and what the main characters do and what they say to each other. We may feel excited, sad, afraid, angry or really happy. This is because the experience of reading or listening to a story is much more likely to make us “feel” that we are part of the story, too. Just like in our “real” lives, we might love or hate different characters in the story. Perhaps we recognize ourselves or others in some of them. Perhaps we have similar problems. Because of this natural empathy with the characters, our brains process the reading of stories differently from the way we read factual information. Our brains don't always recognize the difference between an imagined situation and a real one so the characters become “alive” to us. What they say and do is therefore more meaningful. This is why the words and structures that relate a story's events, descriptions and conversations are processed in this deeper way. In fact, cultures all around the world have always used storytelling to pass knowledge from one generation to another. Our ancestors understood very well that this was the best way to make sure our histories and information about how to relate to others and to our world was not only understood, but remembered too. (Notice that the word “history” contains the word “story” -- this is not a coincidence!) Encouraging your child to read or listen to stories should therefore help them to learn a second language in a way that is not only fun, but memorable. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
