    As the Internet’s influence grows, the potential for danger also escalates (逐步上升). One of these dangers is from cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying (网络欺凌) is repeatedly hurting someone else through the use of technology. It consists of sending or posting cruel messages, photos, or videos on the Internet or other electronic media with the intent of damaging the reputation of the target. Imagine being a 13-year-old girl discovering a cell phone picture of her changing clothes for gym class has been sent to all her classmates. Or imagine being an 11-year-old boy who is scared to go to school because an unknown bully sent him an instant message saying that he is so fat that he should kill himself. Cases such as these are happening every day, leading kids to be depressed and unable to concentrate.
    Worse yet, parents are oblivious (忽视的) to what is happening. Only 15 percent of parents even know what cyber-bullying is. And anyone who thinks that their child is not a victim or a bully is probably wrong. 90 percent of middle school students have had their feelings hurt online and 75 percent have admitted to visiting a website attacking another student.
    Unlike traditional schoolyard bullying, where a bully has a name and a face, cyber-bullying gets much of its power from anonymity (匿名). A cyber bully might design a website posting cruel remarks about a classmate and never tell anyone that he or she was the creator. The cyber-bullying also gets its power from the scope (范围) of its audience. Within seconds, a cyber bully can send an e-mail to everyone he or she knows, inviting them to take part in an online poll (民意测验) of who is the ugliest kid in their class. Victims can be picked on day and night from any place.
    The good news is that you can help stop cyber-bullying. By making parents and educators aware of what is going on and encouraging them to take quick and strong action when cyber-bullying cases happen, you can help make technology constructive, not destructive, for young people.
    小题1:What can we learn from the second paragraph?
    A．Not many students have known of cyber-bullying.
    B．Parents may not know their child is a victim of cyber-bullying.
    C．Parents know a lot of cyber-bullying.
    D．Most of the students have not been hurt by cyber-bullying.
    小题2:What does the author think of the cyber-bullying?
    A．It is not as harmful as people think.
    B．It is too complex a problem to settle.
    C．It will not affect the relationship between classmates.
    D．It can be stopped through our efforts.
    小题3:What will probably be discussed in the following passage?
    A．How to prevent cyber-bullying.
    B．What parents and educators think of cyber-bullying.
    C．How to make parents aware of cyber-bullying.
    D．How to make good use of technology.

    The island Fiji has always been around me in my life. My parents met in Fiji when my father was a teacher as a Peace Corps volunteer and my mother a student. They taught me about its people, culture, foods and religious beliefs.
    At the age of two, I made my first trip across the Pacific Ocean to Fiji. My mother and I made that trip unexpectedly because my grandma was ill and longed to see her American granddaughter. Although I have few memories of that first trip, I do remember grandma braiding(编辫子) my hair every day. The brush gliding through my hair is a feeling I will treasure forever because she passed away soon. I returned to America when I was five years old. This time I had a brother, Martin, who was two.
    I resisted my third trip to Fiji when I was 15, being a teenager who did not want to spend the summer away from friends. It was this trip, however, that made me realize that Fiji is not just a place to visit but a part of who I am. The smells and sounds and sights came back to me, but the best part was getting to know my relatives.
    Vishal was one cousin I quickly bonded with(与…合拍). Born two days before me, I had only known him through pictures before. Though raised oceans apart in different cultures, we talked and laughed about everything from American sports to Fijian dancing. I was able to form close ties with all my cousins, and when I talk about them now, it’s as if I have known them my whole life. Spending time with them helped me understand the traditions and values my mother grew up with. Hospitality (热情) and care and respect for family members are central values in Fijian culture.
    I truly enjoyed learning about my roots during this trip. Fuji is just like a second home, and I will never forget the time I have spent there.

    Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. It’s a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.
    But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would Still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.
    Throughout the course of one day, most .areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas o’ the brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don’t affect other essential areas.
    From an evolutionary point of view, it’s highly unlikely butt our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 10 percent theory.

    D．Few people could prove it wrong.
    小题2:The underlined word "unfounded" is chest in meaning to _________.
    A．undiscoveredB．unprovenC．unknownD．unnecessary
    小题3:Which of the following is true according to the writer?
    A．We use less than 10% of our brains.
    B．Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.
    C．The brain is less active during times of sleep.
    D．The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?

    Australia---The vote for euthanasia(安乐死)was finally taken at 3:45 this morning. After six months’ argument and final 16 hours’ hot debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The bill was passed by the vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on through the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Hofsess says, “We posted it all day long, because this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
    The full import may take a while to understand. The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical meaning. Some have breathed sighs of relief, but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste(匆忙,急忙) of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia — where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part — other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes(多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
    Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin man suffering from lung cancer, the law means he can get on with living without the fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
    小题1:According to the text ,which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Australia now is the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.
    B．All people in Australia don’t have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.
    C．Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
    D．According to the law, if a patient requests death, his or her wish will be met after 48 hours.
    小题2:The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are waiting to see ___________.
    A．the result of the game of dominoes.
    B．that people’s attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
    C．that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
    D．the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
    小题3:Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia, but not USA or Canada. Which one is NOT the reason ?
    A．In Australia, the technology of extending life is advanced.
    B．In Australia, it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.
    C．In Australia, old people take up great part in the population of the whole country.
    D．Australians gradually realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than immediate death.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the text that _____________.
    A．when Lloyd Nickson dies, he will face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia.
    B．physicians and citizens in Australia share the same view on euthanasia.
    C．other countries are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
    D．under the bill, patients requesting death are sure to be injected by deadly medicine.
    小题5:What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
    A．NegativeB．CriticalC．PositiveD．Doubtful

    The average college student in America spent an estimated seven hundred dollars on textbooks last year. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials. Association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now represent just two to three percent of sales. But he says that is expected to reach ten to fifteen percent by 2012. Online versions are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. E-textbooks can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device (装置) so they are not easy to share.
    So what do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. Earlier this year they tested them with five hundred students in twenty classes. The university is unusual. It not only provides laptop computers to all seven thousand of its full-time students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to e-textbooks. The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And fifty-six percent said they were better able to find information. But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits. And sixty percent felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better. But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. Fifty-five percent said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase. Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive. He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now, most of the books are just words on a screen.
    小题1:The passage mainly tells us about ________.
    A．the development of e-textbooks
    B．different attitudes towards e-textbooks
    C．the sales of textbooks and course materials
    D．the differences between e-textbooks and physical text-books
    小题2:According to the survey, over half of the students think e-textbooks ________.
    A．can be rented for less moneyB．help in finding more information
    C．are convenient to carry aroundD．help them do better in their lessons
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that e-textbooks ________.
    A．will replace physical textbooksB．are available at any time
    C．have a very bright futureD．still have a lot to improve

    There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority（优先）it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities（复杂）of spelling.
    If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
    I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “ This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible（难以辨认的）.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation（动力）to seek improvement.
    小题1:Teachers are different in their opinions about ___________.
    A．the difficulties in teaching spelling
    B．the role of spelling in general language development
    C．the complexities of the basic writing skills
    D．the necessity of teaching spelling
    小题2: The expression “play safe” probably means ____________.
    A．to write carefullyB．to do as the teachers say
    C．to use dictionaries frequentlyD．to avoid using words one is not sure of
    小题3: Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that___________.
    A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely
    B．students will have more confidence in writing
    C．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
    D．students will learn to be independent of teachers
    小题4: The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is____________.
    A．unfairB．reasonableC．foolishD．careless
    小题5:The major point discussed in the passage is_____________.
    A．the importance of developing writing skills
    B．the complexities of spelling
    C．the correct way of marking compositions
    D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

    The desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. They know that they will have to face difficult moments，that they won’t be able to communicate with the persons around them，and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families，but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.
    On the other hand，there are people who immigrate(移民)just for the sake of the people they love. They leave their families to make other families with the people they love. Women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life，even if they miss their families and friends. Maybe they don’t have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny(命运) has for them.
    There are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. They’d rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger.
    When well­developed countries see that their homeland is being “invaded” by lots of immigrants，they set new laws that make immigration harder. As a result of this，many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work，although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.
    The opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. Immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.
    Many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.
    小题1:Which of the following reasons for immigration is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A．Escaping from a war.B．Being reunited with the beloved people.
    C．Seeking a better life.D．Studying a foreign language.
    小题2:What’s the usual response to immigrants in well­developed countries?
    A．To accept them.B．To put limitations on immigration.
    C．To refuse them.D．To encourage them.
    小题3:The passage implies that ________.
    A．culture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrants
    B．illegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countries
    C．stricter laws should be set to prevent immigration
    D．many people go to other countries with great determination
