    C.
    After blogging regularly for two months, people felt they had better social support and friendship networks than those who don’t blog. Blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with your friendships, both online and face-to-face, new Australian research has found.
    Researchers James Baker and Professor Susan Moore from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne have written two papers investigating the psychological benefits of blogging, regularly updating personal web pages with information that invites others to comment.
    The first, published in the latest issue of the journal Cyber Psychology & Behavior, compares the mental health of people intending to blog with that of people not planning to blog. Moore says the researchers messaged 600 My Space users personally and directed them to an online survey. A total of 134 completed the questionnaire; 84 intended to blog and 50 didn’t.
    “We found potential bloggers were less satisfied with their friendships and they felt less socially integrated, and they didn’t feel as much part of a community as the people who weren’t interested in blogging…” Moore says. “It was as if they were saying ‘I’m going to do this blogging and it’s going to help me.’”
    And it seemed to do the trick, as the researchers’ second study shows. This study, which is yet to be published, was conducted two months later. The researchers sent out questionnaires to the same group of My Space users; this time 59 responded. Bloggers reported a greater sense of belonging to a group of like-minded people and feeling more confident for they could rely on others for help. All respondents, whether or not they blogged, reported feeling less anxious, depressed and stressed after two months of online social networking.
    “So going onto My Space had lifted the mood of all participants in some way,” Moore says. “Maybe they’d just made more social connections.” Moore acknowledges this early research and hopes to follow a larger group of people for a longer period time to test some of the research findings.
    46. What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A. The mental health of bloggers                        B. Blogging improves one’s social life.
    C. What kind of people are likely to blog             D. Blogging has become more popular.
    47. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ______.
    A. those who were not interested in blogging didn’t have good mental health.
    B. people were likely to become bloggers if they felt socially isolated
    C. potential bloggers were those who had mental health problems
    D. potential bloggers usually held a wrong view about blogging
    48. The purpose of the second study is to find out ______.
    A. what people do on My Space
    B. how many people became bloggers
    C. how people felt after blogging for two months
    D. how many people kept blogging after two months
    49. The second study shows that ______.
    A. online social networking can do people good
    B. only bloggers benefit from online social networking
    C. not many potential bloggers became real bloggers
    D. not all bloggers found the help they needed
    50. The main purpose of people going on My Space is probably to ______.
    A. exchange goods                                                 B. entertain themselves
    C. seek help                                                          D. exchange views

    In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad, for it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
    I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied 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 take an opposite attitude. 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.
    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 them 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 in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition.
    小题1:The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those who ______.
    A．are against competition most strongly.B．are fond of competition very much.
    C．are satisfied with competition.D．are interested in competition
    小题2:According to the passage, why do some people support competition?
    A．Because they think friendly relationship needs it.
    B．Because they think social progress and prosperity need it.
    C．Because they think it can make us become cleverer.
    D．Because they think it can deal with many personal problems.
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that __________.
    A．all the people have the same opinion about competition
    B．Failure can make most people feel down
    C．Both the true competitors and those with a desire to fail believe one’s worth lies in his performance compared with others
    D．Competition can make every competitor successful
    小题4:The passage manly talks about different opinions about ________.
    A．competitionB．successC．failureD．friendship

    Cities of Tomorrow
    Middle school students combine science and imagination as they celebrate National Engineers
    Week in a Future City Competition．
    In the African city of Mwinda，floating farms are quite common．The city’s residents zip around in hydrogen-powered hover（盘旋的）vehicles，and renewable energy resources provide the city’s power．That’s how Jake Bowers，12，Emily Ponti，14，and Krisha Sherburne，12，imagined their future city．
    The students，who attend St．Thomas More School in Baton Rouge，Louisiana，took first place
    for their design last week in the 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition held in
    Washington，D．C．The students won a trip to the U．S Space Camp in Huntsville，Alabam．
    Kids from 35 middle schools across the country made it to Washington．They had teamed up
    with teachers and volunteer engineer mentors（顾问，导师）to develop cities．Each team began by
    creating a fictional city on SimCity 3000，a computer game that allows players to construct towns．
    The students then built a tabletop model of the city，wrote an essay and presented their creation to a
    panel（专门小组） of judges．This year’s theme asked students to design fuel cell powered
    communities．Fuel cell technology works by using hydrogen and oxygen to produce power．The
    process is environmentally friendly．
    Organizers hope the competition provides a fun and educational way to spark young people’s
    interest in engineering．“As the number of graduates in engineering（decreases），it’s ever more
    important to encourage students to build these skills at an early age，”says John Hofmeister，
    President of Shell Oill Company．Shell is a sponsor of the annual Future City contest．Judging by
    this year’s competition，plenty of kids are getting the message．Some 30，000 students from more
    than 1，000 schools participated in the 2006 －2007 Future City Competition．

    B
    “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello!” or “Hi!”.
    Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong …” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure …”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
    People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, “Someone is at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
    When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s also a part of the game of language.
    60. When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “___________”
    A. How are you?      B. Hello!       C. I don’t know.        D. Fine.
    61. When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “___________”
    A. You’re wrong. I disagree.           B. I’m not sure.
    C. I’m sure I disagree.                D. No, I disagree.
    62. When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.”, he or she may be __________.
    A. giving an excuse                  B. hurting someone’s feeling
    C. talking to a person at the door        D. going to another place
    63. One of the rules of the game of language is probably “_________”
    A. Always say what you mean.               B. Don’t disagree with people.
    C. Never say exactly what you’re thinking.     D. Be polite.

    IV. 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    The private automobile(私家车) has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.
    For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.
    Family life has been affected in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs—or is “showing off ” by speeding or breaking other traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD(Students Against Drunk Driving) and are  spreading the same message among their friends.
    For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.
    56.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
    A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.
    B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.
    C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.
    D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.
    57.What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?
    A. Parents have paid more attention to their children.
    B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.
    C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.
    D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.
    58.We can infer from the text that __________ in America.
    A. it will be more difficult for people to get new cars.
    B. parents will not allow their children to have their own cars.
    C. the government will encourage people to use public transportation.
    D. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems.

    B
    America has long been considered the land of opportunity(机遇)by those from other countries. Americans, too, believe that the United States gives almost limitless opportunities for those who want to open business on their own.
    Today, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives in the first two years. Many of these people start their business for the wrong reason; to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility(责任) of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less paper work and responsibility come with the ownership of a small business.
    Not all small businesses succeed. Fifty percent of the 4 550 000 that start in the United States ever fail. Still ninety-five percent of businesses in the U.S. can be regarded as small, and these businesses altogether produce forty percent of America’s total national products.

    Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being，although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students．
    The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time．They want to do everything．they watch on TV and never think at the consequences，and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．
    On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results．
    When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing，how he is writing，or if he understands the explanations．At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper．
    And many times，the child grows fond of the teacher at home，who becomes his best friend，and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．    
    However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home，because school makes children communicate and socialize．Keeping a child at home for fear that there might be something bad happening to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is．Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child．
    All in all，schools have been created to help children，not to harm them，so it’s best to keep children in these special places，where they learn，laugh，have fun and make new friends．
    53．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to          ．
    A．teach parents the ways to keep theft children safe
    B．show solutions to developing children’s character
    C．explain the main reason for violence acts in schools
    D．analyze an education problem and give opinions
    54．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
    A．Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Classes
    B．Who is to Blame．Parents or Schools?   
    C．which is Better, School Study or Home Study  
    D．The Relationship between Teachers and Children   
    55．Parents prefer to have their children educated at home because the following EXCEPT that            
    A．More and more violence acts occur in schools   
    B．Parents want to improve their Children's grades   
    C．Parents are concerned about their children’s safety
    D．The education system is far from satisfactory   
    56． We can infer from the passage that          ．
    A．violence TV programs have bad effects on children’s behavior
    B．the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school
    C．children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong
    D．there ale too many students in class for a teacher to teach
