         More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the
    UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in
    1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.
          The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside
    and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was
    twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the
    market by storm, rapidly becoming the world's best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of
    sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.
         In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin
    C (维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good
    against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type
    of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket
    of the healthy eater.
         Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other
    fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies
    argued successfully that Del Monte's attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock
    them out the market.
    1. We learn from the text that the new type at pineapple is ______.
    A. green outside and sweet inside
    B. good-looking outside and soft inside
    C. yellowy-gold outside and hard inside
    D. a little soft outside and sweet inside
    2. Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?
    A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.
    B. It was less sweet and good for health.
    C. It was developed by Del Monte.
    D. It was used as medicine.
    3. The underlined word "fixture" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something ______.
    A. that people enjoy eating
    B. that is always present
    C. that is difficult to get
    D. that people use as a gift
    4. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _______.
    A. slowed other companies to develop pineapples
    B. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself
    C. tried hard to control the pineapple market
    D. planned to help the other companies

         From a very early age,some children exhibit better self-control than others. Now,a new study
    that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control
    can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
         Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now. They observed the
    level of self-control the youngsters displayed. Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored
    the youngsters on measures like "acting before thinking" and "Persistence in reaching goals."
         The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from
    birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand.
         "The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had
    the most health problems in their 30s," Moffitt said,"and they had the worst financial situation.
    They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a
    very low income. Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and weren't
    just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
         Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she
    said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned- behavior,with relatively little genetic
    influence. But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good
    self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents. But the good news,
    Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have
    been shown to be effective.
    1. From the first two paragraphs we learn that______.
    A. the research has been carried out for five years
    B. self-control was assessed by children's intelligence
    C. self-control in kids tends to determine their future
    D. children's self-control is almost the same at early age
    2. Children with low self-control are more likely to ______.
    A. adopt negative behaviors      
    B. get good school performance
    C. have better financial planning      
    D. become wealthy in later life  
    3. According to Moffitt,_____.
    A. only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
    B. willpower as a child really influences people's chances of adulthood
    C. self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
    D. scientists know well why some children have better self-control
    4. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
    B. The study is restricted within few participants.
    C. Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.
    D. It's never too late to deal with self-control problems.
    5. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
    A. Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
    B. Child's self-control predicts future health,success
    C. Children's development cannot be changed by teachers
    D. How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schools

    Reading Comprehension.
         Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. A recent
    research shows people tend to tell more lies in phone conversations than they are in emails. The fact that
    emails are automatically recorded and can come back to haunt you appears to be the key to the finding.
         Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications
    diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more
    than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies
    per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails, 21 percent of instant
    messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 of phone calls.
         His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April,
    have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception
    makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others
    expected people to be more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of
    communication.
         But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and
    whether it occurs in real time. "People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could
    later be used to hold them to account," he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.
         "People are also more likely to lie in real time in an instant message or phone call than if they have time to
    think of a response," say Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous responses to an unexpected demand,
    such as, "Do you like my dress?"
         Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to
    communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged
    to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done
    using email.
    1. Hancock's study focuses on ______.
    [     ]
    A. the consequences of lying in various communications media
    B. the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas
    C. people are less likely to lie in instant messages
    D. people's honesty levels across a range of communications media
    2. Hancock's research finding surprised those who believed that ______.
    [     ]
    A. people are less likely to lie in instant messages
    B. people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions
    C. people are most likely to lie in email communication
    D. people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations
    3. According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of
        communication?
    [     ]
    A. They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies.
    B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.
    C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.
    D. They are most practiced at those forms of communication.
    4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
    [     ]
    A. honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications
    B. more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees
    C. suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes
    D. email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

    A. Solving Problems Scientifically
    B. Making a Hypothesis
    C. Recognizing the Problem
    D. Organizing the Information
    E. The Experiment
    F. Collecting Information
         There are scientific ways in which man solves problems. Once his curiosity has been aroused, he uses
    certain methods and procedures to obtain new knowledge and greater understanding. Although the methods
    are not always the same, there are usually certain elements in the procedures that are similar.
    1. （    ）
         Problems must first of all be recognized. The right answers can be obtained only if the right questions
    are asked. A thoroughly understood problem is well started toward solution. Problems arise in a variety of
    ways. Sometimes they grow out of a chance observation. They may result from reading, from laboratory
    experiments, or simply from thinking. They also may result from new developments or from new or different
    human needs. Today, for example, problems are arising from new discoveries in the fields of nuclear physics,
    biological engineering and microelectronics. The development of industry has also brought about large numbers
    of problems which have to be solved.
    2. （     ）
         Next, the scientist tries to learn as much as possible about it. Often this means going to the library and
    studying books which contain accounts of man's experience and knowledge of the problem. This is called
    searching the literature. The scientist may find that others have already solved all or a part of the problem.
    Occasionally he finds answers to closely related questions, which give clues for solving the new one. In his
    search the scientist accumulates much background information. With these new ideas and facts he builds a
    firm foundation for solving the problem.
    3. （     ） 
         After the scientist has finished this part of his work he will probably take the many facts which he has
    collected and organize them into some kind of system. This may be a logical classification or it may be a
    mathematical analysis. Usually the analysis will show unanswered questions. Sometimes it will suggest areas
    that are in need of further study. Perhaps one of the most important results of such an analysis is that it
    indicates certain truths, which generally are called inferences.
    4. （     ）
         In making an inference the scientist has built up a hypothesis. A hypothesis is only a"best" guess. It must
    next be tested. If it is correct, the certain things should follow. This means if a particular experiment is carried
    out, certain observation ought to be possible or it should be possible to make certain predictions. Should the
    observations or predictions turn out to be as expected, the scientist has added confidence in the probable truth
    of his hypothesis. If, however, observations cannot be made or the predications are unreliable, then the
    hypothesis will probably be given up or at least modified.
    5. （     ）
         The hypothesis must check with the facts. Scientific facts are usually established by work in the
    laboratory. Experiments have to be made under carefully controlled conditions. Thorough and accurate
    records must be kept. In making certain kinds of experiments in science variables are used. A variable is
    something which has different values under different conditions. In one type of laboratory test all the variables
    but one are controlled. This method of testing is called controlled experimentation.

          Gadgets (小装置) can be wildly expensive and quickly out-of-date, but Steven Poole is still the
    first to buy them. Technological innovations (创新) are often quite stupid. The idea that you might
    want to walk down the street holding a mobile phone in front of your face, just to experience the
    wonders of video calling, is clearly ridiculous. Luckily for the tech companies, however, there are
    some people who jump at the chance to buy into new gadgets before they are fully ready and cheap
    enough for the mass-market. They are called early adopters, and their fate is a terrible one. I should
    know, since I am one myself.
          Early adopters have a Mecca: it’s Tokyo’s Akihabara district, also known as “Electric City”.
    There, in 1999, I bought a digital camera, a gizmo that few people in Britain had heard of. Over the
    next few years I watched in great sadness as digital cameras became more popular, cheaper and more
    powerful, until better models could be had for a quarter of the price I had paid. Did I feel stupid? What
    I actually did was this: I splashed out more money last year for a new one, one that let me feel pleasantly
    ahead of the curve once again. But I know that cannot last, and I’ll probably have to buy another in a
    few years.
          Thus early adopters are betting on other people eventually feeling the same desires. And it’s worse
    if that future never arrives. Early adopters of the Betamax home-video format in the 1970s could only
    look on in sadness when their investment was nullified（使无效）by the success of VHS. All sorts of
    apparently splendid inventions, such as videogame consoles like the Atari Jaguar have been abandoned
    to the dustbin of history right after a few early adopters bought in. Those who invested thousands in a
    Segway motorized scooter on the wave of ridiculous advertising campaigns that accompanied its launch
    a couple of years ago can join the club.
          You might think we should just stop being so silly, save our money, and wait to see what really
    catches on. But the logic of the industry is such that, if everyone did that, no innovation would become
    popular. Imagine the third person to buy an ordinary telephone soon after Alexander Graham Bell had
    invented it. Who was he going to call? Maybe he simply bought two phones, one for a special friend.
    But still, the usefulness and eventual popularity of the device wasn’t clear at the time. Nobody dreamed
    of the possibility of being able to speak to any one of millions of people. And yet if he, and the hundreds
    and thousands of early adopters after him, had not bought into the idea, the vast communication networks
    that we all take for granted today would never have been built.
         The same goes, indeed, for all new technologies. Those guys holding bricks to their ears that we
    laughed at in the 1980s made the current mobile phone possible. People who bought DVD players
    when they still cost a fortune, instead of today’s cheap one at the local supermarket, made sure that
    the new format succeeded. Early adopters’ desire for desires supported the future financially. And
    what did they get for their pains? They got a hole in their bank accounts and inferior, unperfected
    technology. But still, they got it first. And today they are still at work, buying overpriced digital radios,
    DVD recorders and LCD televisions, and even 3G phones, so that you will be eventually be able to
    buy better and less expensive ones.
          So next time you see a gadget-festooned geek (满身新潮玩意的土包子) and feel tempted to
    sneer (讥笑), think for a minute. Without early adopters, there would be no cheap mobile phones or
    DVD players; there would be no telephone or television either. We are the tragic, unsung foot soldiers
    of the technology revolution. We’re the desire-addicted pioneers, pure in heart, dreaming of a better
    future. We make expensive mistakes so you don’t have to. Really, we are heroes.

    1. Steven Poole is mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.
    A. introduce the topic of the passage
    B. present the main idea of the passage
    C. prove the content of the passage is true
    D. explain why modern technology is stupid
    2. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A. the Segway motorized scooter (para. 3) was once quite popular
    B. early adopters are probably welcomed by the tech companies
    C. Mecca (para. 2) is a place where new digital cameras are designed
    D. all the early adopters are very rich and enjoying buying anything new
    3. According to the passage, what’s probably the worst result for an early adopter?
    A. He is laughed at by his family and friends.
    B. What he buys proves useless and expensive.
    C. He finds himself no longer the most fashionable.
    D. What he buys doesn’t eventually become popular.
    4. Why did the writer buy a new digital camera last year?
    A. Because he didn’t want to miss the cheap but better cameras.
    B. Because he had to buy another new camera in several years anyway.
    C. Because the old camera made him feel upset and out of fashion.
    D. Because early digital cameras were of poor quality and couldn’t last long.
    5. Which of the following best describe the writer’s attitude towards the early adopters?
    A. Approving.
    B. Doubtful.
    C. Critical.
    D. Ashamed.
    6. By saying the last sentence “Really, we are heroes.” the writer wants to express that ________.
    A. early adopters are likely to get addicted to modern technology
    B. early adopters bravely spend much money buying new technology
    C. early adopters are as a matter of fact clever investors of technology
    D. early adopters help promote the development of technology

         Every kid more or less complains about school. But five to ten percent of kids dislike it so much that
    they don't want to attend. lf a child seems upset or anxious about school, pretends to be sick to stay
    home, repeatedly winds up in the nurse's or principal's office, or refuses to talk about the school day,
    you should be concerned.
         One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation anxiety. It most frequently occurs
    during times of family problems or when a child is about to enter a new school. With younger kids, watch
    how you say good-bye those first few days of school. A firm "Have a great day, and I'll pick you up at
    2: 30!" is more confidence-inspiring than" Don't worry. I can be there in ten minutes if you need me. "
         You can help your child handle fearful situations-from speaking up in class to taking tests-by
    rehearsing at home. Help make large projects less discouraging by breaking them into manageable
    pieces. Teach your child to replace thoughts such as "I'm going  to  fail" with" I can  handle this".
         Some kids dislike school because they have no friends. This may be the case if your child is always
    alone, fakes illness to avoid class outings or gives away treasured possessions in an attempt to be liked.
    Often loneliness problems can be solved by improving social skills. A child may need to learn how yo
    look others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk above a whisper -or below a yell. You might
    teach a young child a few "friendship openers", such as "Myname's Tom. What's yours? Do you want to
    play games?"
    1. When a school boy has separation anxiety, he is___________ .
    A. worried about his study
    B. uncertain if he can deal with his family
    C. eager to go to school
    D. unwilling to leave his family for school
    2. Which of the following is NOT a fearful situation for a new school kid?
    A. Making a public speech.
    B. Taking an examination.
    C. Finishing a lot of housework.
    D. Doing a big amount of homework.
    3. When a child gives his beloved toy to an unfamiliar classmate, he must be stuck in___________.
    A. separation anxiety                
    B. complaints about school
    C. a loneliness problem              
    D. a fearful situation
    4. Which of the following best shows the composition of the passage ?

         Even facts " forgotten" by people during a busy day may beretrieved if this is  followed  by a good
    night's sleep. Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words. 
    Many found their memories letting  them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning,
    those who had slept well could recall much more. Reserchers , writing in  the journal  Nature .said  the  
    brain  coud  " rescue"lost memories during the night.When the brain is first asked to remember something
    that memory is laid  down  in  an " unstable " state, meaning that it is possible that it could be lost. At
    some point, the brain consolidates  those it deems  important  into a "stable" ,  more permanent state.
         However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a " stable" memory to be made "
    unstable" agan.This would  mean  that memories could be modified then filed away again in the face of 
    new experiences.
    The 12 volunteers tested in the experiment were played words created through a speech synthesizer
    which were purposely difficult to understand. Initially, the written version of the word was available,but
    after wards the volunteers were asked to identify the word from the audio version only. Tests revealed
    that the ability to recall the right word tended to tail off as the day ended.    
         However,when the volunteers were retested after a good night's sleep,they were able to recall some
    words that they had"forgotten" the previous evening. Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said : " Sleep 
    consolidates memories , protecting them against subsequent interference or decay. Sleep also appears  
    to "recover" or restore  memories. " He said : " If performance is reduced by decay , sleep might actively
    recover what has been lost. " 
         Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said: " Memory
    research is undergoing a transformation-no longer  is  memory  thought to be a hard-wiring of' the brain ,
    instead it seems to be a process of storage and restorage. "    
         Sleep helps some memories " mature" and also prunes out unimportant memories..
    1. What does the first paragraph implies?

    A. A busy day makes people forget things easily.
    B. People need a good night's sleep after a busy day.
    C. A good night's sleep helps memories.
    D. A good night's sleep helps people forget a busy day.

    2. The words the 12 volunteers played in the experiment were not_________.
    A. created through a speech synthesizer
    B. hard to understand
    C. available at the beginning
    D. designed to test people's ability of understanding
    3. According to the passage , memory _________.
    A. is a hard-wiring of the brain
    B. is not a process of storage
    C. is not a process of restorage
    D. will be mature with the help of sleep
    4. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. When people first remember something, the memory is in an" unstable  state " .
    B. The brain will change those important unstable memories into stable.
    C. Once the memory become stable, it will never become unstable again.
    D. Sleep can protect memories from being harmed

         Toucans(巨嘴鸟), a kind of tropical birds known for its colorful beak, are very smart. In Mexico, my
    dad became friends with a toucan that was in a "walk in and see the birds" cage. The toucan was so smart that it knew how to get out. It just needed some human to help it. It almost flew out while we were leaving!
    I also noticed that all toucans have different beaks! They also have very long unique beaks with an extremely long tongue. It struts(大摇大摆地走) around with its chest sticking out and beak pointed forward. The
    toucan is a beautiful bird! The beak has a red tip (different shades on every one), but sometimes there is a
    little turquoise on the bottom half. Then, right where the beak separates there is a splotch of yellow. And
    the rest of the beak is green. The toucan takes very much pride of itself.
         The toucan eats fruit and seeds. The ramphastidae(the toucan family) is known for its long beak, and
    37 species. Toucans also feed on insects, small lizards, bird nestlings and eggs. They nest in hollow trees
    where they incubate and care for their young.They are found in the woody areas.
         Of the various toucan facts, here is an odd one. Citizens of Central and South America associate the
    toucans with evil spirits. They think the birds can be the personification of evils. Where couvades(父代母育) is practiced, the father of a new child must not eat toucan flesh as it is believed to bewitch the
    new-born child. Yet the toucan can also be a tribal totem(图腾). So the medicine men use it as a symbol
    to fly to the spirit world.

    1.Which of the following words is NOT suitable to describe toucans?
    A. Intelligent    
    B. Confident    
    C. Dangerous    
    D. Colorful

    2.The second paragraph mainly talks about _______.
    A. where toucans strut around  
    B. how toucans get food
    C. what toucans look like      
    D. when toucans lay eggs

    3.What does the underlined word"incubate"probably mean in paragraph 3?
    A. Hatch eggs    
    B. Take cover    
    C .Gather strength    
    D. Keep warm

    4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
    A. all citizens of Central and South America are afraid of toucans
    B. the toucans can also be used as medicine to cure diseases
    C. a new child must not eat toucan flesh because it is poisonous
    D. some people believe toucans can bring them misfortune

         Choosing the right university for you is a big decision with many factors to consider. The institution
    that you choose will not only be the one that ensures your academic goals, but it will also be where you
    will live, learn, play sports, socialize and work for several years. Therefore, before you start filling out
    those university application forms, take a step back and consider the many variables that affect the "fit"
    of a university to your unique personality and educational goals. Take a look at the following factors,
    and decide which ones mean the most to you.
         Consider your educational goals. You will discover that different schools are more recognized or
    progressive in your chosen field of study than others. For this reason, talk to advisors, professionals in
    your field, or go to clubs organized by the alumni(校友). When you check out school ranking for your
    major, you may find that your first choice is not really a match, while another fits perfectly.
         Consider costs. It will be no surprise to you at this point that not all schools cost the same. Some of
    the more famous schools are so because they are difficult to get into and difficult to pay for. Don't let this
    necessarily stop you. Just keep this consideration in mind as you narrow your list of potential schools.
         Choosing a university should not be done only on reputation, but also take the academic programs
    and overall environment into consideration. Be aware that reputations are sometimes out of date or
    overstated, so first-hand experience is often beneficial.
         Once you've identified the factors that are most important to you, you've taken the first steps towards
    making a successful choice. Make sure you pick a university that will serve your needs throughout your
    university career.

    1. The passage is written for           .
