13.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and a lawyer.
After the accident,my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him 200 for what he had done.I was very surprised.He said he had a good reason to charge me.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负责) for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.'And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.
     But every day I went to see the doctor,I had to wait about 50 minutes.He would see two or three patients at the same time,and often stop treating one so as to see another.Yet I was charged   115 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines,and it cost me  215.
     My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met.But after that he avoided seeing me at all.He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident,yet he hardly did anything.He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.And he made me pay him  770.
    Now I had to act as my own lawyer.Due to my inexperience,I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving America.Knowing that,they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

The EIAA questioned 15,000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobiles phones. In the UK, 10 million people mow access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6.3 hours doing so in a week.

Entertainment plays a major role in our mobile Internet lives, with one in five British people using their phones for online games, a third listening to the online radio and 39 percent watching films . TV or other videos at least once a week. One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos, imager or other multimedia on their mobile, and 61 percent said they passed on contents they received.

From a communication point of view, 80 percent of those questioned agreed that the Internet made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family.

Alison Fennah, director of the EIAA, said the mobile Internet use had come to the point that marketers should be looking to develop strategies that connect with consumers more effectively. “Better devices as well as improved consumer motivation that start coming together in 2011can make a great difference to extending the online experience.” Fennah said.

Will was interested in music,especially rap music.He began rapping when he was 12years old.Although he soon became good enough to make a recording,Will hesitated to do so.At that time,rap music featured a lot of violence.Will was against violence in songs.He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.
As he grew older,Will's charm and sense of humor impressed many people.He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧),The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.The show was successful,and Will lived up to his nickname.Will's acting career led to starring roles in major motion pictures.Independence Day which starred Will Smith,earned more money than any movie in 1996.The following year,Men in Black earned the most money in 1997.The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist.He began mixing his interests,music and acting.His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award,while his next film,Enemy of the State,thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.

1.It's wise that students sometimes step out of the classroom-after all,they can learn  a lot from the world we see outside the school windows.Let's take a look at what some teenagers got up to recently when they took a break from their textbooks.
Lu Runqiu,17,Shanghai No.3Girls School
Earlier this month our class had a week away from the campus to work in a field in the suburbs (郊区).We learned how local farmers grow their vegetables and prepare watermelon plants so they will survive the winter.We helped the farmers harvest cotton and soybeans and weed the field.But in the evenings we couldn't just fall into our beds and talk away the time till sleep.We had the mid-term exams to think about-we would sit them just five days after we left the farmers.
However,to tell the truth I would really like to go back.I really miss-the food-the potatoes,tomatoes,cabbages,come and eggs are delicious,much better than anythin8; we can get in the city!All in all,I'd say it was a great experience.
Luo Sai,16,No.I High School Attached to Central Chin a Normal University in Wuhan  Imagine having to walk for five hours!But that's exactly what we did two weeks ago for our out-of-school experience.At the beginning,we were laughing and talking all the time,so excited were we.But we soon learned we needed strength to keep going,and singing"Unity Is Strength"really helped with that.We walked for 22km,stopping just a handful of times before we reached the military center.In the end our feet were swollen(肿胀的).We had had little experience walking such a distance,but I think the day taught us something:how important it is to presevere!We sweated,but we grew
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A
A.A Big World Out There.
B.Helping the Farmers Harvest
C.Having to Walk for Five Hours           
D.We Sweated,but We Grew!
16.Which of the following is not true of the week on the farm?C
A.Students can learn a lot from the world they see outside the school windows.

C.In the evenings students just fell into bed and fell asleep for being tired from the harvesting.
D.Honestly,Lu Runqiu would really like to go back to the farm.
17.Along the way walking for five hours,Luo Sai and his classmatesC
A.were laughing and talking all the time

8.What historical site impresses you the most?I've always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt.A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them.Like millions of other tourists I marvelled at stoned-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilisation.
But popularity might be the collapse (崩溃) of such archaeological treasures.
Take Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings,for example.It lay untouched for more than 3,000years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922.Now more than 1,000people a day walk through it.
But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (湿度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (胶泥) is coming away from the rock.
In order to preserve its heritage,a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it.
Adam Lowe from the organisation behind the project,Factum Arte,says the copy is identical to the original.He believes visitors will want to"become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction",so won't mind seeing a replica.
But for historian Tom Holland,a copy is still a copy.He believes that although preservation is important,there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun's tomb.
He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced."
What about you:would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?

51.The author mentions Tutankhamen's tomb to showD.
A.its marvelous ancient civilization
B.its popularity among tourists
C.its inner beautiful decoration
D.its damage caused by human activities
52.The underlined word"replica"(in Paragraph 5)means"B".
A.copy
B.tomb
C.palace
D.door
53.The critics who are against the project hold the view thatB.
A.visitors will mind it
B.it can't be replaced
C.its inner beautiful decoration
D.its damage caused by human activities
54.What is the author's tone towards the project?B
A.Favorable.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Negtive.

18.A poor shepherd,whose name was Tony Barbara,lived in Scotland.It was his business to take care of the sheep which belonged to a rich landholder(地主).Sometimes he had several hundreds of lambs to look after.He drove these lambs to the pastures(牧场) on the hills and watched them day after day.
He had a dog which he called Hugo.This dog helped him watch the sheep.He would drive them from place to place as his master wished.
One dark night Tony Barbara was on the hill with a flock of seven hundred lambs.Hugo was with him.Suddenly a storm came up.The wind blew hard; the rain poured heavily.
The poor lambs were frightened.The shepherd and his dog could not keep them together.Some of them ran towards the east,some towards the west,and some towards the south.
The shepherd soon lost sight of them in the darkness.With his lighted lantern in his hand,he went up and down the rough hills calling for his lambs.
Two or three other shepherds joined him in the search.All night long they looked for the lambs.At last Tony Barbara said,"It's of no use; all we can do is go home and tell the master that we have lost his whole flock(群)."
They had walked a mile or two towards home,when they came to the edge of a narrow and deep valley.They looked down,and at the bottom they saw some lambs huddling(挤作一团) together among the rocks.And there was Hugo standing guard over them.They counted them and were surprised to find that not one lamb of the great flock of seven hundred was missing.
54.The underlined word"He"in Paragraph 2probably refers toA.

5.Are you an optimist?Do you look at your glass and see it as half full?Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best?Do you believe that if something is meant to be,it will be?If you reply"yes"to all of these questions,then you are an optimist.You probably are enthusiastic,cheerful and outgoing.You may be successful at work and in love.
But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best.You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example,you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon).Wrong.When one door closes,another door slams (砰然关上) in your face.That's bitter reality.
Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along.It's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism.Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results.Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear,anxiety and worry.Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves.They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems.And this gives them a sense of control.Lawrence Sanno,a psychology professor,says,"What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people,so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic.They use it to motivate themselves to perform better."
So far,so good.This is not rocket science.Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong,whether at work,on date or even in a sports game.It makes sense to have a back-up plan.There are many sayings in English urging caution.For example,"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."And"Don't count your chickens until they hatch."To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good.But listen to what Woody Alien,the American comedian says,"Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem."
There are pros and cons(利与弊) to being an optimist and a pessimist.Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty.You are a realist.But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.

74.What's the passage mainly about?A
A.The benefits of defensive pessimism.
B.A book that has recently been published.
C.The dangers of being too optimistic.
D.How to become successful in life.
75.The underlined sentence"This is not rocket science"(Para.4)meansB.
A.there is no real proof              
B.it is quite simple to understand
C.the cost is not so high  
D.it's not a dangerous thing to do
76.Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?C
A.Whatever will be,will be.
B.The glass is half full not half empty.
C.Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
D.Every cloud has a silver lining.
77.We can infer from the passage that the writer is probablyA.
A.a realist    B.an optimist    C.a defeatist  D.a scientist.

2.Although cats may be one of the most popular pets today,little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship.
The earliest evidence for human-cat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus(史前塞浦路斯),where the remains of a wild cat and a human-dated 9,500years old-were found buried together.
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a human-domestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300years ago.Researchers studied the bones of cats,dogs,deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China.By using some ways,scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)-based diet,just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site.
"The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of millet-based food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages,find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally,"said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing,whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.
"It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats,since this kind of evidence had long been missing."Hu explains.Since cats usually eat meat,such a diet would be unexpected,unless the cats were being fed by people,the study argues.The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age,implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat.
Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them"pets"could be answered by other evidence.Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents-a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with.
The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers,and so were harmful to farmers.Cats were attracted to the rats,and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats,taking care of them in return for pest control.
