    Welcome every morning with a smile. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo(回响) through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.
    Starting the day right can give good momentum (动力) for the rest of the day. Having a power morning is a key factor for a fruitful day. Here are some tips on getting the most out of the morning.
    Wake up early. In theory, there’s no difference in waking up early or late as long as you get the proper amount of sleep. However, there is a psychological advantage when you wake up earlier than the average person and then you’ll have more time to do preparation before engaging in the real world.
    Exercise. Good health is always a benefit with exercise, but studies have also shown that morning exercise helps you to sleep better at nights.
    Eat breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day. According to the Mayo Clinic, we should choose three from the following four: fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein. Did you know that you can actually gain weight when you skip breakfast?
    Take a shower. When you shower, do you do it in the morning or at night? I used to shower in the evenings, but I found that morning showers helped me to be more smart.
    Prioritize (优先) your To-Do list. Leo coined the acronym(首字母缩略词) MIT to mean “most important tasks.” Our to-do list might be never ending, but put on top of the list a couple of urgent tasks that will define the day to be a successful one.
    Check your emails. Only once. Getting a lot of emails can be very distractive（分散精力的）. You actually are more productive when you check them only a few times at fixed time of the day. I only do them 2-3 times a day—once in the morning, once at lunch, and one more as it gets toward the end of the day.
    45. The purpose for the author to write this passage is to_______________.
    A. tell you to get up early every day
    B. offer you the best way to start the day
    C. give you advice about how to arrange a day
    D. advise you to prioritize your to-do list every morning
    46. If you don’t have breakfast, you may__________.
    A. lose weight.              B. be productive.    
    C. put on weight.            D. be more smart.
    47. The underlined word “coined” in Paragraph 6 mean__________.
    A. invented         B. designed          C. founded        D. defined
    48. The author advises you to check your emails only once because__________.
    A. the emails are not important
    B. reading e-mails is distractive
    C. you can only read e-mails at fixed time
    D. getting so many emails can distract your attention

    PART FOUR  WRITING
    SECTION A(10%)  Directions: Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage．      Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
    Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.
    Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.
    Researchers are puzzled over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
    The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallow. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
    “But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology itself; it’s about how it is used,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s sponsors.” It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”

    Section D
    Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
    　　Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less creative, somehow. When there’s nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV.
    　　One father, for example, says, “When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, ‘I have nothing to do!’” He compares this with his own children today: “They’re simply lazy. If someone doesn’t entertain them, they’ll happily sit there watching TV all day.”
    　　There is one word for this father’s disappointment: unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores(哀叹) his children’s lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate(天生的) that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play — to imagine, to invent, to elaborate (描述) on reality in a playful way — and the ability to gain fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.?
    　　Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents’ disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.?
    81. According to many parents, without TV, their children would ask them to ___________.
    ___________________________________________________________________________
    82. Why is it unfair for the father to blame his children for not being able to entertain themselves?
    ___________________________________________________________________________
    83. When parents show constant disappointment in their children, the destructive effect is that the children will___________.
    ___________________________________________________________________________
    84. According to the author, in what way can children’s self-confidence be developed?
    ___________________________________________________________________________

    The day before the deadline for this article,I had no clue what I was going to write about. I took my problem to the editor-in-chief, and.he said to me:“Don’t worry; you’re creative. ”
    I’m not sure where the editor-in-chief reached the conclusion that I was “creative”. Maybe it was through the poems I wrote. Personally, I simply enjoy writing because it’s fun. There’s also the fact that I can’t draw or do anything else creatively, I’m equally sure that there are people in the boat on the other side who can make things look excellent, but can’t write a poem.
    At this point you probably want to ask me what poetry and art have to do with engineering.  For one, it makes you a more rounded person, making you a better engineer. More importantly, as an engineer, you will be faced with many problems every day. There are some that can be solved by consulting a textbook, but more often than not, you will need that thing in your brain to put together things in a completely original combination to solve the problem at hand.
    Think of the wonderful things that creative engineers have done. Civil engineers have made the road more long-lasting so we don’t have to close them for repairs as often. Coming up with a new innovation (创新) is similar to writing a good poem. It’s not some-thing you plan to do. The critical moment comes unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere. You don’t think about what you’re doing, you simply do. After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself, “This is a masterpiece. ” This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can
    experience.
    So all you engineers out there get out and do something creative. I don’t care if it’s writing a poem or a computer program, just be natural and do something creative.
    小题1:This passage mainly deals with        .
    A．the creativity of engineersB．the power of editor-in-chief
    C．engineering in generalD．a way of thinking
    小题2:In the author’s opinion, writing poems can        .
    A．show one is creativeB．make him happy
    C．bring him in lots of moneyD．have an effect on one’s mental health
    小题3: According to the author, art can help an engineer to        .
    A．find the solutions to problemsB．learn to write poetry
    C．be courageous in face of challengesD．get along well with others
    小题4:Coming up with a new innovation is similar to writing a good poem in that both are      .
    A．logically developedB．strictly planned
    C．experience- basedD．naturally creative
    小题5:The greatest personal satisfaction of an engineer comes from      .
    A．planning his work successfullyB．building things quickly

    One year ago, when Fiona turned four, Sam and I decided to home-school her instead of sending her to pre-school．I have always felt that the 0-5 years are an irreplaceable dreamtime．As Fiona is an inventive, observant child, sensitive and funny and great company, it would be a tragedy to find school rubbing away her uniqueness and restricting the building of her personality．
    I tried not to reproduce school at home．I never had the urge to get a chalk, or a blackboard．I didn’t go and search out a curriculum(课程表)．I felt that my children would learn best if I stayed accessible (易接近的)and stayed out of their way．
    Every day we worked some, relaxed some, read some and played some, but Fiona did not seem particularly happy here．She lost her temper once in a while．
    How strange it was that my child who was free from school didn’t want to be free at all．Her friends all went to pre-school．She felt left out of a major part of her friends’ shared lives and experiences．I thought she was not in school for very strong, clear reasons, one of which was that the quality of learning my child did at home would be good, even better than expected．
    Well, here was a situation I hadn’t expected．When we first decided to do this, Sam and I agreed that we would reassess(再评价)the situation for each child as she turned seven．Meanwhile we would offer her non-school-based opportunities to give her plenty of time with other kids-ballet lessons and swimming classes．She seemed to be enjoying all．But at times she kept asking when she was going to school．Whenever she asked this question, we told her that there would be a family meeting about it when she turned seven．She nearly always responded, “That’s when I’m going to go, then．” A fair amount of her curiosity was about school and I was afraid she was dreaming of going to school before she turned seven．
    Although the advantages of home-schooling, I think, far outweigh its disadvantages, it is important for me to respect my daughter’s feelings and allow her to direct her own education．If her curiosity leads her to school, isn’t that where she should go?
    Next week I’ll drive Fiona to her school．I hope that Fiona will learn to read and discover something wonderful to pursue in the world that opens up for her．I hope she will find the school activities provide her with satisfactory kid-time．

    2．In home schooling her daughter the writer tried to_______．
    A．make her home just like a school
    B．teach with a pointer, a piece of chalk, and a blackboard
    C．be there when her child wanted her but tried not to stand in her way
    D．teach according to a curriculum, which was suitable for Fiona
    3．What was the writer’s biggest problem in home schooling her daughter?
    A．She couldn’t decide what to teach and how to teach her daughter
    B．She was not sure whether her teaching was suitable for Fiona．
    C．She could not make Fiona give up the thought of going to school．
    D．She didn’t know how to control Fiona’s temper
    4．We can learn from the text that_______．
    A．Fiona always acted against her mother’s instructions
    B．it was against Fiona’s wish that she was educated at home
    C．home-schooling was popular some years ago
    D．Fiona’s parents would ask her opinions about school education

    In summer, millions of people will head for the beach. And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.
    “Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．”
    Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity．
    Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．”
    When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮) ．The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机) ．
    The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland．
    The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal．
    Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however．
    Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic．
    With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．”
    In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
    68．Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Wave power costs too much money．
    B．Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources．
    C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic．
    D．Wave power may affect marine animals．
    69．We can infer from the passage that ______．
    A．finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energy
    B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world
    C．wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world
    D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution
    70．The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means ______．
    A．regrets      B．adventures       C．disadvantages          D．difficulties
    71．What can be the best title for the passage? 
    A．How to Get Electricity by Waves．       B．The Advantages of Wave Energy.
    C．Can Waves Make Electricity?  D．The Disadvantages of Wave Energy．

           71  It is divided into two types: short term memory and long term memory. Short term memory helps the brain to remember the information from a few seconds to a few minutes, for example, searching a phone number in the phone directory. This type of information is not stored for a long time, and slips from the brain.    72   
          73   There is no exact definition of brain exercises. The key to brain exercises is to stimulate(刺激) the gray cells of our mind. For example, trying out different problem solving exercises can be a good practice for improving the analytical skills of brain.   74  If you regularly exercise it, you will develop a good body, or else you will have an unfit body, and thus, our brain needs exercises regularly. Here are some memory improvement tips for adults:
    ●Regular exercises help to keep away diseases that are harmful to the memory. Besides, regular exercising improves the feeling of well-being and improves blood circulation to the brain.
    ●Don't be stressed, as stress holds back the ability of the mind to concentrate. A stress-free mind will collect and store more information that a stressed mind, so avoid being over-stressed. But in modern times people have great pressure from work and life.    75  . Sleep is necessary for keeping the mind and body fit and the side effects of lack of sleep include a lack of concentration.
    A．Ask your doctors for advice on memory.
    B．Developing good sleeping habits helps a lot.
    C．The memory is just like our body in some way.
    D．Memory is the remembering of any information taken in by the brain.
    E.Not all people have the power to recite so many things at a time.
    F.Long term memory, on the other hand, is the memory where we make conscious efforts to keep the information for a long time.
    G.Brain exercises are one of the simplest ways of improving memory power.

    If your head is overheating, you are very likely to yawn(打哈欠) soon, according to a new study that has found the main purpose of yawning is to control brain temperature. The study explains several mysteries about yawning, such as why it’s most commonly done just before and after sleeping, why certain diseases lead to too much yawning, and why breathing though the nose often stops yawning.
    “Brains are like computers,” Andrew Gallup, a researcher in the department of Biology at Binghamton University who led the study, said. “They operate best when cool.”
    He and his co-workers Micheal Miller and Anne Clark did researches on yawning in parakeets(长尾小鹦鹉) , which have relatively large brains, live wild in Australia, often experience temperature changes, and, most importantly, do not yawn when others yawn, as humans and some other animals do.
    For the study, the scientists put parakeets under three different conditions: increasing temperature, high temperature and normal temperature. While the frequency(频率) of yawns did not increase under the latter two conditions, it increased greatly when the researchers increased the temperature.
    It’s now believed yawning operates like a radiator(散热器).
    If air in the atmosphere is cooler than the brain and body temperatures, taking it in quickly cools blood, which in turn cools the brain. The new findings also explain why tired people often yawn. Both tiredness and sleep loss can increase brain temperature, while yawning can cool down the brain.
    In the future, researchers may focus more on brain temperature and its role in diseases and their symptoms. But the new study on yawning changes the popular idea that yawns are just signs of getting tired of something.
    49. What’s the best title for the passage?
    A. Why don’t people yawn at normal temperature?
    B. The yawn explained—it cools your brain.
    C. Yawning operates like a radiator.
    D. The cause of yawning—finally found out.
    50. The main reason why researchers chose parakeets to do the research is that parakeets______.
    A. have very large brains                
    B. live wild in Australia
    C. are not affected by others’ yawning       
    D. experience frequent temperature changes
    51. The writer may suggest doing all of the following to stop yawning EXCEPT______.
    A. breathing through the nose          
    B. turning up the heat
    C. enjoying some cool wind               
    D. putting a cold towel on your forehead
    52. In which section of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?
    A. Discovery.        B. Education.         C. Health.              D. Mystery.
