4．It is not a good idea to stop the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play．During the past year he had stopped performances many times at the National Theatre when mobile phones rang，and he threw out one member of the audience because she failed to turn off her phone．
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance in Alan Bennett's The History Boys，he spoke angrily to the theatergoer，"I am not going to compete with these electronic devices （装置）．"

ment to legalize the use of an electronic device that stops mobile phone signals in theatres．
Technology companies have"stopping"devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency as a mobile phone，stopping the mobile phone signals．
However，these are forbidden in many countries because they might stop emergency （紧急情况） calls from being made．

Nick Allott，the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's theatre group，said，"We would all welcome some ways of keeping phones from ringing but doctors and emergency workers need to be connected in a theatre and we mustn't stop that．"What can we do to solve the problem？

15．In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some hold an optimistic attitude．They value it highly，believing that it is a natural outcome of social progress and prosperity（繁荣）and that anyone who wants to be outstanding has to keep the pace．Others think otherwise．They say that competition is bad； that it sets one person against another； that the unfriendly relationship between people because of competition．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit（追求）of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others have an opposite opinion．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．They have no choice．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse："I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try"．What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear is overcome can discover a new meaning in competition．
71．What does this passage mainly talk about？B
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experience in competition．
72．Why do some people favor competition according to the passage？A
A．It pushes society forward
B．It builds up a sense of duty．
C．It improves personal abilities
D．It encourages individual efforts．
73．The underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3 meansC．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly
C．those who are against competition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
74．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a"desire to fail"？A
A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others．
B．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
75．Which point of view may the author agree to？D
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．Competition should be encouraged．
C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．
D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．

12．Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior．
    One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards．Researchers at Harvard University in the United States did the study．They had about 200 college students play a game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma．The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group．
The students played in groups of four．Each player could win points for the group，so they would all gain equally．But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players，at a cost to the punisher．
Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation．The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least．
And the more a group punished itself，the lower its earnings．The group with the most punishment earned 25% less than the group with the least punishment．
The other study involved children．Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups．More than 800 children were ages two to four the first time they were tested．More than 700 children were ages five to nine．
The two groups were retested four years later，and the study compared the results with the first test．Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not．
The study says the IQs-or intelligence quotients-of the younger children who were not spanked（掴）were five points higher than those who were．In the older group，the difference was almost three points．
Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire has written extensively about physical punishment of children．He says the more they are spanked，the slower their mental development．He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common．
67．Which of the following is True about the game mentioned in the first paragraph？C
A．Prisoners are more interested in the first game than the university students．
B．The game is very popular with the students in Harvard University in the United States．
C．The game is played to test whether people are more cooperative on the basis of rewards．
D．The game is played in order to encourage the students to cooperate．
68．The underlined part in the third paragraph means the punisher will have toB．
A．lose some of his money
B．lose some of the points
C．lose all the points of the group
D．gain the points of the punished
69．What does the result of the first experiment imply？A
A．Rewards encourage better cooperation than punishments．
B．Individual interests are always a challenge to the group．
C．Four members will work better in one group．
D．The group that punished most gained nothing eventually．
70．What do we know about the second experiment in the passage？A
A．The whole experiment，including two tests，lasted four years．
B．Physical punishment was employed only in the younger group．
C．Children in both groups have acquired same IQ development．
D．No physical punishment was used in the younger group．

9．Become a confident speaker．How to improve your English speaking skills and make you able to communicate more easily and effectively？The following tips will help you to become a more confident speaker．
Practice where you can and when you can．And practice is good-whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not．
It's important to build up your confidence．If possible，use the simple sentence structure that you know is correct，so that you can concentrate on getting your message across．
Try to experiment with the English you know．Apply （应用） words and phrases you know to new situations．Native English speakers are likely to correct you if you use the wrong word．They usually don't mind if you use wrong grammar．
Try to respond to what people say to you．You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language．Respond to them in a natural way．
Never translate everything into your own language．It takes you much time and you'll find it difficult to find an English answer right away．You don't know how to do well．The more you want to act well，the more slowly you act．This will make you hesitant．
If you forget a word，do what native English speakers do all the time，and say things that‘fill'the conversation．This is better than remaining completely silent．Try using‘um'，‘er'，if you forget the word．
Don't speak too fast!It's important to use a natural rhythm （节奏） in speaking English，but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you．
Try to relax when you speak，and you'll find that your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you．Speak English at a normal speed．
Final tips：Try to become less hesitant．Don't be shy to speak-the more you do it，the more confident you'll become．Remember to be polite-use"please"and"thank you"if you ask someone to do something for you．

16．Feeling left out？
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn't around．Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．But how do you make them？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember，there's always room for more friends．
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation （欣赏） to them．Invite someone to play with you or say"Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom．When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act friendly，and say"Hi，can I play，too？"or just join in．
If you have trouble doing  this，or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends．
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other，you can share something you didn't have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

13．People with disabilities make up a large part of the population．It is estimated（估计） that over 35 million Americans have physical，mental，or other disabilities．About half of these disabilities are"developmental"，i．e．，they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday，often from genetic conditions，and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development，such as mobility，communication，employment，etc．Most other disabilities are considered"adventitious"，i．e．，accidental or caused by outside forces．
Prior to the 20th century，only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long．Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable．Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food，shelter，and medical treatment．Unfortunately，these basics are often not available．Civil liberties such as the right to vote，marry，get an education，and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability．
In recent decades，the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements（违反，侵犯）of civil rights．Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes．
Still today，people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently．It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed，and a majority of those who do work are underemployed．About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level．
Significant barriers，especially in transportation and public awareness，prevent disabled people from taking part in society．For example，while no longer prohibited by law from marrying，a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships．
Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society．
1．A"developmental"disabilityB．
A．develops very slowly over time
B．occurs in youth and affects development
C．is caused by forces
D．is getting more and more severe
2．Most disabled people used to die early becauseB．
A．disabilities destroyed major bodily functions
B．medical techniques were not available
C．they were not very well looked after
D．they were too poor to get proper treatment
3．In the author's opinion，to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society，D．
A．more laws should be passed
B．more public facilities should be set up
C．government should provide more aids
D．public attitudes should be changed
4．Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage？B
A．Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life．
B．Discriminatory（带歧视性的）laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others．
C．The public tends to look down upon the disabled people．
D．The disabled people feel inferior to（低于）those surrounding them．

A．Handicaps（障碍）of People with Disabilities
B．The physical difficulties of the Disabled
C．The Causes for Disabilities
D．Medical Treatments for Disabilities．

14．Zoology（动物学）is the part of science that deals with the study of the animals'growth，home and behavior．It has nothing to do with people，so many students are left wondering why they have to learn it．
   Our nature includes not just humans but plants and animals as well．Everything in our environment is connected in a complex cycle．If you have a better understanding of how animals would behave and work with us，then you would value nature better．
   Some animals are actually misunderstood by people like sharks and snakes．These creatures are thought of as human killers，and this is mainly because we don't understand why they behave that way．In zoology you would be able to learn natural behavior as well as their homes so you would completely understand why they would behave in a defensive（防御的） manner when they seem to be threatened．Studying zoology would help people achieve clearness over the common myths we have on different wild animals．
   Studying zoology would help people know the real facts about animals．One of the negative facts is the decreasing numbers of some species of animals．It makes people realize that there is a need for nature to be always balanced．We need animals to keep the balance in our environment and for humans to survive as well．It would help us learn the needs that animals lack and we can respond by thinking of solutions we can give to the endangered species of animals．
Modern progress is needed for a country to grow in terms of its economy； however，it should not force us to destroy our rainforests and oceans．People should realize that our modern lives should include the lives of the animals that live with us．They should not be contained in zoos but in their natural homes as well．We will learn that every living creature on the earth has the right to own a home and we need to fight for them to have permanent（永久的） homes．

A．left alone                           B．treated seriously
