The Chinese word "Shanzhai" means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after "Shanzhai Cell-phones" produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years. Besides (除……之外，还有)"Shanzhai" electronic products, there are "Shanzhai" movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve. "Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, "Shanzhai" version "Bird's Nest（鸟巢）" and "Water Cube（水立方）" woven by farmers with bamboo attract(吸引) wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing. A literature critic said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears timely to attract people. "Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, 'Shanzhai' culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds," he said. To the mainstream（主流） culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture is a challenge and a motivation（推动）. People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose. 【1】The Chinese word "Shanzhai" may have started with_______. A. fake(假的) cell-phones B. electronic products C. Spring Festival Gala D. Olympic buildings 【2】According to the passage, "Shanzhai" culture means_______. A. the action that a person imitates famous people B. products with poor techniques and quality C. anything that are copies of something famous D. those similar names to famous brands 【3】We can infer that the mainstream culture_______. A. is held back by "Shanzhai" culture B. is the challenge of"Shanzhai" culture C. will be replaced by "Shanzhai" culture D. may develop faster because of the challenge of "Shanzhai" culture 【4】The underlined word "imitates" is closest in meaning to_______. A. 偷窃 B. 仿造 C. 做广告 D. 欺骗 |

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind. Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight family laziness, set an example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated (积极的) people. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. 【1】How many ways have been mentioned in this passage to defeat laziness? A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6 【2】According to Paragraph 2, we can know that ________. A.people who don’t get enough sleep must be lazy B.people who lack of motivation must be lazy C.people who stay up too late and get up too early must be lazy D.people who adjust their sleep schedule mustn’t be lazy 【3】The underlined word “temptations” is closest in meaning to _______. A.excitements B.distractions C.attractions D.entertainments 【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.How to fight laziness? B.Laziness does great harm to our life. C.Lazy people will never gain anything. D.Laziness can be defeated. |

More than loo genes are related with increased risk of developing schizophrenia（精神分裂症）,bipolar disorder （躁郁症）and alcoholism（酗酒）,confirms a large study published in the recent issue of the British scientific journal Nature. The world's largest study into the genetic basis of mental illnesses was led by researchers from British universities,including University College London (UCL),Cardiff University and King's College London (KCL). Researchers believe that they are now much closer than before to understanding the complex biological causes, which make some people being at high risk of developing mental illnesses.They also believe that these findings could lead to new treatments. The researchers analyzed the DNA of about 37,000 patients with schizophrenia,bipolar disorder or alcoholism, and compared the smallest genetic changes to those found in about 113,000 healthy people.They then identified about 128 independent genetic variants（变体）at 108 locations on the human chromosomes（染色体）that contribute significantly to developing schizophrenia—83 of these sites have never before been linked to the illness,according to scientists. For example,people with the variant of the GRM3 gene,thought to be important in brain signaling,are around 2 to 3 times more likely to develop schizophrenia or alcohol dependence.The variant,which is found in approximately one in every 200 people,is also associated with a three times risk of developing bipolar disorder. "We could be looking at the next big drug target for treating mental illness,"Professor David Curtis from UCL, co-author of the paper,said."The work opens up new ways to prevent and treat mental illnesses by revealing the mechanisms involved in their development." 【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Researchers are disappointed at curing biological causes. B. Researchers are worried about the complex biological causes. C. Researchers have found the method of curing biological causes. D. Researchers are confident for figuring out the complex biological causes. 【2】According to Paragraph 4,the researchers found . A. there are 37,000 patients with mental illnesses in the world B. most of the sites have never before been linked to mental illnesses C. there is little difference between the patients and the healthy people D. the cause of mental illnesses has nothing to do with the genetic changes 【3】We can learn from Paragraph 5 . A. the variant of the GRM3 gene is important B. the number of people with the variant of the GRM3 gene is large C. the number of people with the variant of the GRM3 gene is small D. people with the variant of the GRM3 gene aren't likely to suffer schizophrenia 【4】What's the main topic discussed in the text? A. The importance of gene variants. B. The research of gene variants. C. The cause of mental illnesses. D. Gene variants linked to mental illnesses. |

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 【1】 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 【2】However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. 【3】Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 【4】 The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 【5】. A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. B. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. C. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time. D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. E. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. F. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned. |
