    16．A lift is wonderful．It is really only a small room．Rooms usually stay in one place．Lifts travel up and down all day long．
    Sometimes a worker stands in the lift．He or she operates it up and down．In modern lifts there is no worker．The people walk in．They know what floor they want．They push a button and the lift goes to that floor．It is all very fast and easy．
    Lifts are very important to us．Why？Think about a tall building．Maybe it has twenty floors．Maybe it has fifty or more．Who can walk up all the stairs？Maybe people can climb them one time．Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day？Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth floor？Can their mother and father carry food up all those stairs？Of course not．
    We can have high buildings because we have lifts．We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts．They are really wonderful．

    6．I had a very good teacher named Leon Sultan．I liked him very much．
    Mr．Sultan had just got a job at my high school but his name wasn't in the school's system．So when I got my schedule（课表），it read：Staff F．It was during roll-call that I  realised that"Staff F"was Mr．Sultan．When he called my name，he asked if I remembered him．Then I realised that he was the teacher who had taught me English when I was in primary school．

    Now，I have become a more open-minded boy．That is because of my two and a half years in Mr．Sultan's class．

    4．Dear Sir，
    I have to travel e very day from Souk Road to the airport．Two buses travel along their route：the number 49 and number 16．But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full，so I can't get on it．I have to wait for the number 49，because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
           The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes．If this is so，why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day？
           The regulations （规章） say that if there are empty seats on a bus，the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting．Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop？

           It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers．Can nothing be done to make your service better？

    11．Heads turned，tears dropped，and gossip-filled whispers went on and on from the hospital passages to the house windows．There was a problem：a daughter had been born．She wasn't the first disappointment born to her family．Although my aunt didn't care about giving birth to a girl，her mother-in-law constantly reminded her of the criticism she would have to face if she gave birth to a daughter．In India，most people held these views．
    When I visited my relatives during the summer，one sentence managed to fill me with anger and start arguments with my so-called relatives．"You are a girl，stay within your limits．"They simply don't know how different it is living in the US．Anyway，comparisons to my cousins led me to end the arguments for the moment and accept the way they lived their lives．
    My words didn't make sense to them so my mind was set on proving them wrong．
    Although their words didn't tear me apart，their actions managed to．The amount of sexism（性别歧视） in this culture，especially my hometown，made me feel bad．It was the 21st century，yet women had to eat after the men at family gatherings．They had to cook all the family meals and were asked to take jobs that required little skill or education．It was time to change these views．
    As I was growing older，the same relatives repeatedly questioned me about my future："What do you want to be？"And the answer was always the same：electrical engineer．I have a passion for electronics； as clichéd（陈词滥调的） as it sounds，I was born to do it．When I connect wires together to repair something，I can't contain my excitement．But when I tried to explain this to my relatives，all of them，except for my parents and grandparents，would be shocked and laugh at me-laugh because they didn't think I could live up to my goals，being a"girl and all"．It was time to change these views．
    In my world，being a girl is not a problem．Rather，it is an opportunity to allow passion，not stereotypes（成见），to shape my future．I decided to channel my relatives'views into positive energy．Rather than letting them bring me down，I let them be motivation to achieve my goal of becoming an engineer．I，a female，will become a successful engineer．
    32．The first paragraph was mainly written toB．

    B．show that most Indian people are strongly prejudiced against women

    D．show that the author's aunt's generation is fighting against prejudice against women
    33．From the second and third paragraphs，it can be concluded thatB．
    A．the author's friends and relatives were jealous about her life in the US
    B．the author realized that just using words couldn't change the relatives'sexism
    C．the author got used to being reminded to stay within her limits after she was born
    D．the author often argued with her relatives because she believed US lifestyles were right
    34．In the article，in what way does the author show how serious the amount of sexism was in her hometown？C
    A．By describing feeling defeated after arguments．
    B．By stressing the conflicts she had with her relatives．
    C．By describing people's words，behavior and common practices．
    D．By giving examples of how her goals were laughed at repeatedly．
    35．According to the text，the author decided to change her relatives'views byA．
    A．achieving her dream of becoming an engineer

    1．For better eyesight，doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time．However，another study shows that sitting in front of compute or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia （近视）．An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia．The research team found that there were less children who had myopia in Sydney than those in Singapore，even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens．The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor sports than those in Singapore．
    Indoor and outdoor sports both make the eyes pay attention to more distant objects，which stops the eyes from changing original shape．But outdoor sports may be better than indoor sports for myopia．Because natural light is good for eye growth and vitamin D from the sunlight might be useful to it．Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test when he/she is about two and half years old，and even if his/her sight seems good enough．It is necessary for myopic （近视的）children to wear glasses to stop headaches，trouble reading and so on．It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students eyes．
    If that is not possible，school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examination and wear glasses．And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children，but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors．

    28．Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than those in Singapore？D
    A．Because the children in Sydney watch TV less．
    B．Because the children in Sydney have more eye resting time．
    C．Because the children in Sydney use computer less．
    D．Because the children in Sydney do more outdoor sports．
    29．What is good for eye growth according to the passage？C
    A．Natural light．
    B．Vitamin D．
    C．Natural light and Vitamin D．
    D．The sun．
    30．Which of the following is TRUE？B
    A．Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age．
    B．Looking more at distant objects can help the eyes keep their original shape．
    C．Doing outdoor sports with no glasses is good for myopic children．
    D．Children should limit their time in the sun to protect their eyes
    31．The passage mainly tells usC．
    A．the children in Sydney spend more time in front of screens
    B．the children in Singapore like outdoor sports
    C．doing outdoor sports and limiting the hours of screen time are good for eyes
    D．it's important to test students'eyes．

    8．If you want to help children develop language and speech skills，UCLA researchers say，listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them．
       The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone，the researchers found．"Adults speaking to children helps language develop，but what matters much more is the interaction，"said the study's lead author，Frederick Zimmerman，an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California，Los Angeles．The researchers also found that TV viewing didn't have much of an effect-positively or negatively-as long as it wasn't displacing conversations between an adult and a child．
       The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old．They represented a variety of incomes and education．The researchers found that，in an average day，children heard about 13，000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day．
       Assessed separately，factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1，000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children．When looked at alone，TV was negatively associated with language development．But，when the three factors were analyzed together，the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children．
    "The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult，the better idea a parent has about where the child is，"Zimmerman said．"Although it's mostly done unconsciously，parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes．They'll alsotailor their speech to the child．Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they're doing，such as，‘I'm putting on your pajamas now'．But give your child the opportunity to talk，hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，"she added．"If parents can carve out some conversation time-maybe at bath time or at dinner time-that's a wonderful thing．"
    56．The researchers also found that TV viewingB．
    A．could have a positive effect on a child's language development
    B．had a little effect on a child's language development
    C．affected a child's language development more negatively than positively
    D．affected a child's language development both negatively and positively
    57．Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree thatB．
    A．parents should let their children talk most of the time
    B．the conversation between parents and children should be two-way
    C．children should watch TV programs selectively
    D．it's no good for parents to correct their children's mistakes when they are  speaking
    58．We can conclude from the last paragraph thatD．
    A．parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
    B．bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
    C．parents should leave a child talking alone  
    D．parent child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
    59．What would be the best title for the passage？C
    A．Let your children voice their own opinions
    B．How to develop a child's language ability  
    C．Talk with kids，not at them
    D．The importance of early child language development
    60．The underlined word"tailor"in the last paragraph can be best replaced by"A．"

    5．The swallows of Capistrano may be famous for returning to the same nests each spring．But they have nothing on the purple martins（紫燕）．These beautiful birds spend each winter in the warm climate of south America，then return each spring to nesting places in the Southeastern United States．
        Purple martins are birds that are pleasant to watch．Many people also like to have the martins around because the birds control insect pests．If hollow gourds（空葫芦） with two-inch open spaces are hung out for them，martins are happy to move in．They require only small open spaces to discourage wild animals from eating them．The gourds should also be hung in an open place away from buildings or trees，so squirrels（松鼠）or cats can't disturb the birds．
        Common garden grown gourds sometimes rot（腐烂）in the climate of the southeast，so many purple martin lovers have tried using different materials to create stronger nest．Lengths of plastic pipe have been used，along with old-fashioned wooden bird houses with martin-sized entrance holes，but the birds clearly prefer the shape of a gourd．One company is now selling a plastic gourd，just the right size and shape with a two-inch entrance hole for the martins．The hole is high enough to allow the martins about four inches．The plastic gourd is somewhat attractive and can be used for a long time．
        The permanent（永久的）state is important for martin lovers because the birds can become almost part of the family．Some families have had the same groups of martins returning to their yards each year for sixty days．
    43．The purpose of the passage is toB．
    A．discuss the swallows of Capistrano
    B．describe homes for purple martins
    C．discuss the season journey of purple martins
    D．discuss the uses of gourds
    44．According to the passage，which of the following statements is Not True？C
    A．Gourds should be hung in open spaces．
    B．Small open spaces in gourds discourage wild animals．
    C．The swallows of Capistrano are actually purple martins．
    D．Plastic gourds are now being sold as homes for purple martins．
    45．It can be concluded from the passage thatA．
    A．some people try to make proper nest to attract purple martins
    B．purple martins never nest in the same place tw o years
    C．too many purple martins nesting in one area can become a harm
    D．plastic gourds are not as good as wooden bird houses
    46．The passage suggests thatD．

    6．Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy，but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable，researchers say．Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their   lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones．While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy，the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships．Psychologist Richard     Tunney said，"Whatever the reason is，actively working on friendships in the same way as to     maintain a marriage is a prerequisite（必备条件） to happiness．"Dr．Tunney，of Nottingham University，quizzed more than 1，700 people about their satisfaction  with their lives and the state of their friendships．Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy．In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy．Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy．The happiest   people were those with dozens of friends，according to the study，which was carried out for the   National Lottery（彩票）．
    For women，this meant having 33 friends；for men，the number was 49．Dr．Tunney said，
    "People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people  who were extremely dissatisfied．"Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed     tighter relationships．Interestingly，the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than    people we become close to later in life．Lottery winners，however，have a different
    opinion on life．They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a
    small circle of old friends．This could be because they trust people they've known for a
    long time．
    25．What's the best title for this passage？B
    A．The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends
    B．Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy
    C．Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly
    D．Men's and Women's Friends Are Different
    26．Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with？A
    A．People with few friends are sure to be unhappy．
    B．Our friends can make us happy．
    C．Happiness may come from a good marriage life．
    D．We may become happier if we have more friends．

    A．enjoy making new friends            
    B．make new friends easily
    C．like staying with old friends           
    D．have no time to make friends

    A．it's enough for one person to have ten friends
    B．unhappy people must have few friends
    C．childhood friends make people happier than adulthood ones
