Twenty years ago, kids in school never heard of the Internet. Now, I’ll 21 you can’t find a single person in your city who hasn’t heard of it. The "net" in the word "Internet" really 22 for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that all types of information can be 23 or sent from one computer to another. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project, 24 your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is accessed through web pages that companies, organizations and individuals 25 and post. It’s like a 26 noticeboard that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the Internet, you also have to be careful and use your best 27 and a little common sense.

When you read on a piece of paper someone sticks on a notice-board doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good information, or even correct. So, you have to be 28 what people are talking about, especially if you’re doing research! When you’re emailing people, you still have to be very careful. If you’ve never met the person you’re communicating with online, you could be on dangerous ground! You should never give 29 any personal information to someone you don’t know, not even your name! And just like you can’t believe the information on every website out there, you can’t 30 on strangers on the Internet, either. Just like you could make up things about yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you!

Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Passage 1

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main problem lies in language itself – words. Single words have little meaning until they are combined into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, or looking back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization – sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called accelerator (加速器), which moves a bar down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization virtually impossible. At first, comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some training.

41. According to the passage, today many people no longer read for ________.

A. news B. their work C. information D. entertainment

42. Most people can’t read and comprehend quickly mainly because ________.

A. they don’t read groups of words

B. they don’t like to be trained in reading skills

C. they don’t realize they have poor reading habits

D. they don’t understand words when put together

43. The following are all bad reading habits EXCEPT ________.

A. regression B. reading for ideas only C. vocalization D. word-by-word reading

44. How does an accelerator help people to read?

A. It helps people read at a comfortable speed.

B. It makes people stretch their eyes when reading.

C. It forces people to overcome bad reading habits.

D. It lets people look back over what they have just read.

45. What does "At first, comprehension is sacrificed for speed" (Para. 2, Sentence 4) mean?

A. The reader reads fast, but he understands everything he reads.

B. The reader reads slowly and he understands everything he reads.

C. The reader reads fast without understanding everything he reads.

D. The reader reads slowly, but he doesn’t understand everything he reads.

Passage 2

Everybody lies. It may only be "white lies", but everyone tells lies or "omits the truth" sometimes. People start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language. This first lying is not ill-natured, but rather to find out, or test, what can be controlled in a child’s environment. Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want. White lies, those told to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all. The person, however, who seems to feel forced to lie about both small and large stuff, has a problem. They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment. A much more troubling group is those who lie a lot, and knowingly, for personal gain. Lying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie, it often forces you to continue your lies.

Why do we dislike liars so much? It’s a matter of trust. When people lie, they have broken a bond – an unspoken agreement to treat others as we would like to be treated. Serious lying often makes it impossible for us to trust another person again. Because the issue (问题) of trust is at risk, coming clean about the lie as soon as possible is the best way to mend fences. If the truth only comes out once it is forced, repair of trust is far less likely. As a parent, the most important message you can send to your children about lying is that you always – always – want them to come clean with you. No matter how small a lie they have told, remind them that you would always rather hear the truth, no matter how bad it is, than be cheated. Tell them there is really nothing better in your relationship than your trust of each other.

46. According to the passage, the worst liars are those who ________.

A. tell white lies

B. feel forced to tell lies

C. lie a lot for personal gain

D. began to lie at a very young age

47. What’s the writer’s opinion about telling "white lies"?

A. They do not matter too much.

B. They are necessary in our life.

C. They do not cause any problems.

D. They are as bad as any other lies.

48. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. With time passing by, we will forget the lies people tell.

B. When a person lies, he will feel uneasy and stop lying soon.

C. Once a person tells a big lie, we will not trust him any more.

D. If lies are not found out, probably the liar will continue to lie.

49. Why do we dislike liars so much?

A. Because they do not trust others.

B. Because they lie for personal gains.

C. Because they betray our trust in them.

D. Because they lie to avoid punishment.

50. What should you do as a parent when you find your children have lied?

A. Tell them to learn to trust other people.

B. Tell them to explain immediately why they have lied.

C. Ask them to forget about the past and not to lie any more.

D. Make them realize they should always tell the truth.

Passage 3

School buildings themselves can show liberal (开明的) or conservative views about what should go on in a classroom. The earliest schools had separate classrooms for different grades. The rooms were laid out formally, with pupils’ desks fastened to the floor in straight rows facing the teacher’s desk. Clearly, such schools reflected a teacher-and-subject-centered view of education.

Schools of the next generation had more open space, and most had movable desks. They also often provided special rooms or areas for science, art, music, and physical education. There were still separate rooms for different grade levels, however, and the desks still were likely to be formally arranged. That is, the schoolroom was still largely designed to carry out the old-school program, which involved grade levels, uniform time blocks, and study of subject matters. Newer subjects, not newer teaching methods, accounted for most of what was new in school design.

The first school buildings constructed to encourage liberal teaching methods appeared in the mid-1950s. Folding interior (内部的) walls permitted the flexible use of space to encourage large-group, small-group, or individual instruction. Some provided carrels for individual study, areas for team teaching, and centers for programmed instruction.

In the newest buildings called open schools, the use of space is even more flexible. Areas within the buildings can be readily expanded for program changes, and used for many kinds of functions. One should remember, though, the physical layout (布局) of a school cannot decide whether it has the conservative or liberal teaching practices. What determines whether the classroom is liberal or conservative is the spirit and attitude of the teacher.

51. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. School buildings reflect the improvement in education quality.

B. The physical layout of a school should improve teaching practices.

C. School buildings can reflect liberal or conservative views about education.

D. Teachers’ spirit and attitude determines the physical layout of the classroom.

52. What’s the biggest difference between the earliest and the second-generation schools?

A. Subjects were newer in the latter as compared with the former.

B. Teaching methods were newer in the latter as compared with the former.

C. Classrooms were laid out formally in the former and informally in the latter.

D. The former had separate classrooms for different grades while the latter didn’t.

53. The word "carrel" in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.

A. a room with small space

B. a room with folding walls

C. a room with liberal instructions

D. a room with conservative instructions

54. According to the passage, we may infer that the newest school buildings reflect ________.

A. a subject-centered view of education

B. a student-centered view of education

C. a teacher-centered view of education

D. a practice-centered view of education

55. What of the following is implied in the passage?

A. In the newest teaching buildings, classrooms are much bigger.

B. In the schools of second generation, different grades were put in separate classrooms.

C. In the earliest school classrooms, students’ desks were fixed to the floor.

D. Before the mid-1950s, school buildings were built in a conservative way.

Passage 4

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some explode with anger, and scream and shout. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

Many doctors think that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They say that when a person is angry, the brain gives out the same hormones (荷尔蒙) as that are produced during tense and nervous situations. They speed the heart rate and raise blood pressure, so the person feels excited and ready to act. Repressing these feelings will only make the feelings continue, and this can lead to many medical problems. To prevent these problems, these doctors suggest letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some other doctors question this. They say that people who express anger repeatedly and violently become, in fact, more but not less angry. And this could cause medical problems.

However, some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart diseases, and that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution is to learn how to deal with anger. The first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, and then to decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and express yourself calmly and reasonably. Doctors also say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry, for laughter is much healthier than anger.

56. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Anger should be dealt with in a proper way.

B. Different people deal with anger in different ways.

C. Doctors suggest dealing with anger by repressing it.

D. The best way to deal with anger is to laugh when angry.

57. According to the passage, which of the following about hormones is correct?

A. Hormones will cause people to get anxious.

B. Hormones will increase when one gets angry.

C. The brain produces hormones when one’s blood pressure rises.

D. The brain produces hormones when one has medical problems.

58. Some doctors argue that people who often let the anger out would become ________.

A. stronger

B. more violent

C. angrier

D. more dangerous

59. One correct way to deal with anger is to ________.

A. say nothing no matter how angry you are

B. express anger openly and freely right away

C. express your anger immediately but calmly

D. think about whether it’s worth getting angry

60. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Expressing anger by screaming can be as dangerous as repressing anger.

B. Repressing anger is more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.

C. People may have heart diseases if they don’t express their anger right away.

D. People should express anger before looking into the real cause of their anger.
