    Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Any More
    If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I am one of the few girls who would   21 : surfing(冲浪运动). But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people 　22　　 . 　Most certainly not.
    I started surfing about five years ago and   23  in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding the first   24  was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
    When I try to   25  surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my   2—___26  , there’s nothing like it. It involves(牵涉到) body and  27 . There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt   28 all around us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing   29  that water, becoming one with the   30 , is like I’m weightless.
    The one thing I can   31  from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean  32 an too many kinds of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive(活跃有力的) and   33 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it   34  from any other sport.
    I’ve    35  to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new   36 , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start   37 __the limits of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰)?
    There’re women   38  side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys   39 the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to   40 , and they will.

    Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a judge and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
    Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he caught.
    It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more important, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
    小题1:What is true about children when they play games?
    A．They can stop playing any time they like.
    B．They can test their personal abilities.
    C．They want to pick a better team.
    D．They don’t need rules.
    小题2:To become a leader in a game the child has to ______.
    A．play wellB．be popular among his playmates
    C．be confident in himselfD．wait for his turn
    小题3:What do we know about grown-ups?
    A．They are not interested in games.
    B．They find children’s games too easy.
    C．They don’t need a reason to play games.
    D．They don’t understand children’s games.
    小题4:The writer believes that _______.
    A．children should make better rules for their games
    B．children should invite grow-ups to play with them
    C．children’s games can do them a lot of good
    D．children play games without reasons

    Two thirds of the singles looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to smokers, to Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegans (素食者). Technology has brought about a great change in the dating game.
    A survey by Parship, a British branch of Europe’s largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members, says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year.
    A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor, confirmed that a figure of two third feel it all right. “Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy, because they can do a bit of quiet research and look around from the comfort of their own home. You don’t have to meet a middleman or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage,” she said.
    There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain. Parship says that 50 percent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet, up from 35 percent six months ago.
    Mary Balfour, the founder, says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely. “It’s like a return to old-fashioned love letters,” she said. “You don’t base your initial judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like. You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other. Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating website, introduction agency or personal ad. They have to, because all the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder, settle down later and live more isolated lives. They’re much more likely to end the day with a DVD and a can of beer than by going to a village dance.”
    小题1:Singles in Britain can look for love online mainly because of ________.
    A．ParshipB．the help of go-betweens
    C．technologyD．the revolution of dating game
    小题2:About ________ Britons tried to find love online last year according to this passage.
    A．1.5 millionB．3.5 millionC．5.4 millionD．65 million
    小题3:For those who want to look for love online, they _________.
    A．don’t need to do any research at all
    B．have to meet first before they can e-mail each other
    C．don’t have to find a go-between.
    D．must go to an actual dating agency office first
    小题4:From this passage we can infer that ________.
    A．not all single people believe the Internet can help them find their partners
    B．looking for love online needs a lot of courage
    C．old-fashioned love letters become popular again
    D．single people don’t like to look for their partners online.

    In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well．
    First, let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it．
    This has several implications（含义）. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now，however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”，but "text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are."
    Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.
    They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well．
    Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
    Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
    小题1:According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effects are mostly likely to be seen on                    
    A．talkersB．the “speakeasy”C．the “spacemaker"D．texters
    小题2: We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are
    A．quite revealingB．well written
    C．unacceptable by othersD．shocking to others
    小题3:According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?
    A．Talkers. B．The“speakeasy”
    C．The “spacemaker”.D．Texters.
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A．The SMS Effect
    B．Cultural implications of Mobile Phone Use
    C．Changes in the Use of the Mobile
    D．Body Language and the Mobile Phone

    “Choo，Choo！”Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation.
    The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French，it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.
    Did you know that the British and the French had a race while they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.
    The completed Chunnel cost about $21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.
    There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other.
    There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains.
    Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off，this is the last stop.
    小题1:The Channel Tunnel links   ________with________.
    A．London; ParisB．Cheriton; Sangatte
    C．Lille; BrusselsD．Dover; Kent
    小题2:Which of the following shows the structure of the tunnels in the Chunnel?

    小题3:The Eurotunnel shuttle is intended to carry________.

    小题4:The text can most probably be ________.

    Strange Baby-Naming Laws
    Germany Parents are banned by law from using last names and the names of objects and products as first names. A child’s first name must clearly indicate his or her sex, and all names must be approved by the office of vital statistics in the area in which the child was born.
    Iceland The country’s naming committee consults the National Register of Persons to determine if a name is acceptable. If parents want to go off-list, they must apply for approval and pay a fee, and the name must contain only letters in the Icelandic alphabet.
    New Zealand The country’s Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act of 1995 prohibits parents from choosing a name that “ might cause offense to a reasonable person; is unreasonably long; or is, includes, or resembles an official title or rank,” including, apparently, Adolf Hitler and Yeah Detroit—both names recently rejected.
    Denmark If Danish parents prefer a moniker not on the list of 7,000 preapproved baby names, they must get permission from local church and government officials. Fifteen to 20 percent of the 1,100 reviewed names—including creative spellings of common names, last names as first names, and unusual names—are rejected each year.
    小题1:You can tell whether a baby is a girl or a boy according to the first name in _____.
    A．Denmark B．New ZealandC．IcelandD．Germany
    小题2:In Iceland, the names should _____.

    B．be accepted by the National Register of Persons.

    D．be paid for some money.
    小题3:Which name is accepted in New Zealand?
    A．Bin LadenB．Talula Does The Hula

    小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A．Danish babies’ names should be on the list if parents can’t get the permission.
    B．Each year about 150-200 reviewed names are rejected in Denmark.

    科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

    My son Jack, a fourth grader, was having a hard time in getting interested in story books recently, so I offered to read the first few chapters to him. In the early pages of ‘Incident at Halk Hill’, a quiet little boy has a special meeting with a female badger (獾).Soon after, another badger is caught in a steel leg trap(陷阱), and the author describes in detail the pain and scare of an animal struggling to its death. We meet the cruel hunter and his ill treatment of a dog; we see the badger being skinned by the boy's father；and we experience the child's confusion when beaten by his father in anger. Pretty heavy going for ten-year-olds, I thought.
    Last night , I returned from a weekend away to find that Jack had finished the whole book on his own. “It was really, really good and sad, and violent，” he reported. “There was a lot of killing.”
    “Were there any happy parts?" I asked,
    "The boy's life was saved by the badger, and that was good. But then that badger got caught in a trap again and at the end it's dying, too. ” Jack said, "It was so sad that I almost cried. ”
    I told him that many books have made me cry, beginning with Heidi, when I was just his age, right on up to the novel I finished last week.
    “Well，” he admitted then, “I actually did cry. Reading that book just reminded me of all the sadness in the world, and it made me feel sad ,too. ”
    So, I think, now he has been through the sad tone of the passage , the discovery that words on a printed page can give rise to such strong emotion ，that a book can move you right out of your own comfortable little self and into someone else's pain. Thus we come to realize that if we are to remain fully engaged in life, open to its mysteries and feel sorry towards its suffering, we indeed need stories to grab（抓住） us by the neck and remind us of the sadness in the world that is not our own.
