8.Kong zi,also called Confucius(551-479B.C),and Socrates (469-399B.C) lived only a hundred years apart,and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China.The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的) than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively.Thus,Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius,on the other hand,advised those in government service,and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:"Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you."He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more potential than others,and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius,he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes.
For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concern.For Confucius,however,the family was the center of the society,with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?C
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates'ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers'ideas.
D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
30.What made some people different from others according to Confucius?C
A.Family     
B.Potential     
C.Knowledge      
D.Community
31.Socrates shared with Confucius the idea thatB.
A.all men were equal when they were born
B.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D.people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
32.This passage is organized in the pattern ofB.
A.time and events                       
B.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effect                       
D.definition and classification.

18.A 17-year-old boy,caught sending text messages in class,was recently sent to the vice principal's office.The vice principal,Steve Gallagher,told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher,not his cellphone.The boy listened politely and nodded,and that's when Mr.Gallagher noticed the student's fingers  moving on his lap.He was testing while being scolded for texting."It was a subconscious act,"says Mr.Gallagher,who took the phone away."Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night.It's compulsive."
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain,Ga.,found that the more time young people spend on Facebook,the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits.Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable,but they are also more likely to be anxious,hostile or depressed.(Doctors,meanwhile,are now laming addictions to‘night texting'for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.)
Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day,according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media,a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families.Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force,or will employers come to see texting and‘social-network checking'as accepted parts of the workday?
Think back,When today's older workers were in their 20s,they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans.In those earlier eras,companies discouraged non-business-related calls,and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired.It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.
Educators are also being asked by parents,students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules."In past generations,students got in trouble for passing notes in class.Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets,"says 40-year-old Mr.Gallagher,the vice principal,"and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over.Students are just fundamentally different today.They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."
66.The underlined word"a subconscious act"in the first paragraph refers to an actB        
A.on purpose                                                         
B.without realization
C.in secret                                                               D.with care
67.Young people addicted to the use of FacebookC.
A.are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study
B.have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work
C.have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
D.are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect
68.Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s,it can be inferred thatD        
A.the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages
B.a cellphone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people
C.The employers prefer older workers to young  people
D.the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people  
69.Mr.Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those todayC.
A.like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages
B.are always the big problem for the educations and their parents
C.like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way
D.cannot live without a cellphone
70.What's the best title of the passage?B
A.Teenagers and Cellphones

19.They like using the Internet.They have lots of pocket money to spend.And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us.Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in,and the things they want to buy-games,CDs and clothing-are easily sold on the Web.
But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards.Most have to use a parent's card.They want a service that allows them to spend money.
That may come sooner than they think:new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic.If successful,these products can stimulate (刺激)online sales.
In general,teenagers spend huge amounts:153bn (billion) in the US last year and£20bn annually in the UK.Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school-88 percent in the US,69 percent in the UK.According to the Jupiter Research,one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online-mainly CDs and books.
In most cases,parents pay for these purchases with credit cards,an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children.Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street.They are more likely to ask"Why?"if you ask to spend some money online.
One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK.Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones,they are sold in amounts such as£20 or $50 with a concealed (隐藏的) 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.
25.What does the word"They"in paragraph 1refer to?C
A.Sellers.
B.Buyers.
C.Teenagers.
D.Parents.
26.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.
B.Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.
C.Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.
D.Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.
27.A new way to help teenagers shop online is touseC.
A.a new machine
B.special coins and notes
C.prepaid cards

16.The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.For thousands of years,the festival(234)has been marked (mark) by eating zong zi and racing dragon boats in honour of Qu Yuan,who is said to have committed suicide(自杀) by drowning himself.
Qu was a minister of the State of Chu (235)situated (situate) in the present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces,during the Warring States Period(战国时期).He was upright,loyal and highly respected.(236)However,he was dismissed from office.(237)Realizing (realize) that the country was in the hands of evil officials,Qu leapt into River Miluo on the fifth day of the fifth month.Nearby fishermen rushed over to save him but were (238)unable (able) to recover his body.
The people of Chu (239)who mourned Qu's death threw rice into the river to feed his ghost(240)every year on the day of his death.But one year,the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a huge reptile(爬行动物)in the river had stolen the rice.The spirit then advised (241)them to wrap the rice and bind it (242)before throwing it into the river.
During the Duanwu Festival,zong zi is eaten to symbolize(象征,表示) the rice offerings to Qu.And the dragon-boat races symbolize(243)the many attempts to rescue and recover Qu's body.

3.The first selfie stick(自拍杆) was (61)definitely (definite) invented by Hiroshi,(62)a photographer at a camera company.He made it due to being (63)unable (able) to take pictures of themselves during a trip to Europe with his wife.When he asked a boy to take pictures of them,the boy ran off with the camera.Frustrated,he invented something (64)that would allow him to take a picture of himself.Since the iPhone really had not been invented yet,a small camera (65)was attached(attach) to one end of the stick.(66)With a small mirror in its front,users could see(67)how they would look in the photo.He patented(获专利) the"extender stick"in 1983.But the product turned out (68)to be (be) a commercial(69)failure(fail).A research showed the women back then were embarrassed by the idea of taking pictures of themselves.The selfie stick was then reinvented by Wayne Fromm in 2000.Fromm believes he is the inventor of today's selfie sticks.When (70)asked (ask) about Hiroshi's selfie sticks,he said they were"Old-fashioned Art."

4.Mobile phone users will be able to charge their devices wirelessly for the first time from 2015.
Fujitsu,the Japanese technology company,has created a system capable of charging quite a few portable electronic devices in the meanwhile,such as mobile phones,digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections.Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu,which presented a system at an Institute of Electronics,Information and Communication Engineers Conference at Osaka Prefecture University.
Claiming to be the world's first of its kind,the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several metres,with the final aim of installing public"charging spots"on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock.
Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to commercially sell products including the new wireless charging system as early as 2012but did not make it clear how much they would cost."This technology makes it possible to add compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling several portable devices to be charged at the same time without any restrictions(限制)on their position in association with the charger,"the company said in a statement.
The growing popularity of portable electronic devices ranging from iPads to e-readers is expected to fuel a boom in wireless recharging technology developments over the coming decade.
Mobile phone users in Japan can currently fill up their batteries using disposable(一次性的)portable plug-in battery-operated devices--available at most train stations and convenience stores--although phone companies warn any use for too long can damage the phones.
The new system displayed by Fujitsu,however,is significantly advanced and represents the next generation of portable recharging systems using highly tuned wireless technology.The company added,"We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics,including power transmission between circuit boards or computer chips,and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars."

55.The writer's purpose of writing the passage isB.
A.to analyze the current international situation
B.to introduce a new technology applied to charging wirelessly
C.to encourage customers to purchase the new charging devices
D.to warn people against using disposable portable plug-in battery-operated devices
56.According to the new technology,electricity can be transmitted byC.
A.using batteriesB.using the electronic devices
C.using magnetic fieldsD.using disposable portable plug-in battery-operated devices
57.What is certain according to the passage is thatC.
A.the charging system can serve one portable electronic device at a time
B.all the convenience stores in Japan can provide the charging service now
C.wireless charging works within a distance of up to several metres
D.the new product doesn't look promising.

11.Psychologists(心里学家)at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the compulsive(强迫的) shopping as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating.Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need,and it causes them distress.
"It becomes a problem when you are out of control,"psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said."When you are feeling bad and blue,what do you do?Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream.Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop."Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
    Compulsive shopping,known as oniomania(购物癖),was first discovered in 1915.Few studies have been done on the problem.
    An advertisement in a Christchurch paper,calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr.Wilson,attracted 10replies.But the problem,said Mr.Wilson,is clearly not rare.He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs."As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,"Mr.Wilson said.
    Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit."Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,"he said."You have long-term problems,but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,"he said.
    The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions.The program,consisting of 10one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments,is loosely based on teaching stress management.
"You often have to start to get people to recognize their emotions correctly.Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what's making you feel that way,"Mr.Wilson said.

66.What is this article mostly about?B
A.Signs of compulsive shopping.
B.Studies of compulsive shopping.
C.comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.
D.An experimental treatment program designed by Mr.Wilson.
67.The compulsive shoppers will go shopping whenC.
A.they have lots of money        
B.they are taking drugs
C.they are feeling sad            
D.they win a prize
68.What does the underlined word"distress"in the first paragraph mean?B
A.comfort       
B.pain        
C.excitement        
D.curiosity
69.Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?B
A.Teaching them to manage their money better.
B.Teaching them to understand their emotions.
C.Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.
D.Treating them with right drugs.
70.When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit,he means that theyD.
A.feel distressed after their wild shopping
B.feel better after treatment from psychologists
C.are better able to deal with stress problems
D.have a feeling of excitement after shopping.

8.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than  average men and women.Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders.An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment late increases by 1%,the death rate increases by 2%.All this comes down to one point,work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness.Researches show that people feel unhappy,worried and lonely when they have nothing to do.Instead,the happiest are those who are busy.Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard.Work serves a bridge between man and reality.By work people come into contact with each other.By collective activity they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.
Besides,work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement.Work makes one feel his value and status in society.When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow,they life happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be.Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.

29.The underlined word"average"in Paragraph 1meansB.
A.healthy         
B.ordinary         
C.lazy         
D.poor
30.The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is thatA.
A.housewives have less chance to communicate with others
B.housewives haVe more children than career women
C.housewives are poorer than career women
D.housewives eat less food than career women

A.Busy people have nothing to do at home.
B.High achievers don't care about their families.
C.A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.
D.There is no friendship and warmth at home
32.The best title for this passage may beD.
A.People Should Find a Job
B.The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything
