    Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram/Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
    Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
    Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shell. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.
    The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
    Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
    But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note.
    Money has had all interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

    Section D
    Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
    Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)， but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.
    Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
    The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.
    Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood.
    (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
    81. In the new P.E. program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than ___________________.
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    82. As for P.E., some school boards either ____________.
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    83. What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    84. What is the long-term benefit of the new P.E program?

    The film “Avatar” has received great popularity around the world. It turned out to be a great success. The film got ＄1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planet’s inhabitants(居民,栖息动物)，the one that has the most similarities with humans is the Na’vi, and it is the struggle between the Ma’vi and human invaders(入侵者) that forms the story of the film.
    As to the factors(因素) leading to the film’s success, many think that the entertaining feast(盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldn’t be forgotten, but the new language invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.
    In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race（外星人）, the film’s director James Cameron asked an expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na’vi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James Caneron for four years to create the Na’vi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already come up with.
    According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Na’vi language is that it could be pronounced. “This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,” Professor Frommer told the BBC, “it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when using it.”
    The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the “Star Trek”films. “There’s a translation of Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences,” says Professor Frommer，“if anything like this happens to the Na’vi language, I’d be very happy.”
    1. What do we know about“Avatar” from this passage?
    A. The story in it is a moving love story.    
    B. It brings the producer ＄1 billion in total.
    C. The story in it happens on an alien planet.
    D. It talks about humans and aliens’ friendship.
    2. The director of “Avatar” James Cameron had a language invented for the Na’vi to     
    A. make the film a whole mystery          B. make the Na’vi more believable
    C. make the Na’vi different from humans    D. make the film have specific characteristics
    3. Who first created the basic words of the Na’vi language?
    A. Paul Frommer.        B. An Indian.    C. James Cameron     D. Hamlet.
    4. The important feature of the Na’vi language is that      
    A. it can be spoken by humans         B. it has just 30 original words
    C. it has a vocabulary of 1000 words.    D. it is like the Klingon alien language
    5. We can infer from the passage that       
    A. James Cameron will produce follow-ups to “Avatar”
    B. the Na’vi language is another kind of the Klingon language
    C. the director believes the Na’vi language will be popular
    D. Paul Frommer hopes to add new words to the Na’vi language

    What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
    Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers(制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream— as well as for developing over 75 flavors .
    Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No— there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
    In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
    While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!
    Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy— working at one cool job.
    1. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to __________.
    A. keep a diary of work
    B. have a degree in related subjects
    C. have new ideas every day
    D. find out new flavors each day
    2. What does Harrison do first when tasting ice cream?
    A. He stirs the ice cream.                                B. He examines the color of the ice cream.
    C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.            D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
    3. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
    A. Tasting with Eyes              B. Flavors of Ice Cream
    C. John Harrison’s Life          D. One Cool Job

    Whether you have a toddler(学步儿童)or a teen, here are five of the best strategies to improve nutrition and encourage smart eating habits;
    1. Have regular family meals.
    2. Serve a variety of healthy foods and snacks.
    3. Be a role model by eating healthily yourself.
    4. Avoid battles over food.
    5. Involve kids in the process.
    But it’s not easy when everyone is juggling busy schedules and convenience food, such as fast food which is so readily available.
    Here are some ways to incorporate all five strategies into your routine/schedules.
    Family meals are a ritual(日常惯例)for both parents and kids. Children like to know family meals in advance and parents get a chance to catch up with their kids. Kids who take part in regular family meals are also:
    more likely to eat fruits, vegetables and grains
    less likely to snack on unhealthy foods
    less likely to smoke or drink alcohol
    In addition, family meals offer the chance to introduce kids to new foods and to act as a role model for healthy eating.
    Teens may turn up their noses at the prospect(期望)of a family meal—not surprising because they’re busy and want to be more independent. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use mealtime as a chance to reconnect.Also, consider trying these strategies:
    Allow your teen to invite a friend to dinner.
    Involve your teen in meal planning and preparation.
    Keep mealtime calm—no lectures or arguing.
    What counts as a family meal? Any time you and your family eat together—whether it’s takeout food or a home-cooked meal, strive for nutritious food and a time when everyone can be there. This may mean eating dinner a little later to accommodate a child who’s at sports practice. It can also mean setting aside time on the weekends, such as Sunday brunch, when it may be more convenient to gather as a group.
    1. The following are the reasons that prevent children from having family meals well EXCEPT that_______.
    A. they are independent from their parents’ advice
    B. they are busy dealing with their lessons
    C. there are convenience foods so readily available
    D. family meals are not as good as convenience foods.
    2. Which of the following is NOT the best strategy to encourage smart eating habits?
    A. Let children have meals independently.
    B. Don’t scold children during the meals.
    C. Set a good example to children.      
    D. Don’t skip any one of the three meals.
    3. The underlined phrase “turn up their noses at” is nearest in meaning to “_______”.
    A. look forward to     B. keep up with    C. look down upon    D. be addicted to
    4. In the author’s opinion, the most important thing is______.
    A. strictly obeying the strategies all the time
    B. involving kids in the process of meals.
    C. never allowing children to have snacks.
    D. letting children prepare their meals.

    Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillips arrived is Sydney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers (including 770 prisoners) from Britain. Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney.

    1.  The climate in Sydney is_____
    A. hot in summer and cold in winter   B. warm all the year round
    C. neither too hot nor too cold        D. cool all through the year

    B. Immigrants from Britain, the beautiful Harbor and ships.
    C. Beautiful shops, modern restaurants and interesting old houses and seas.

    Q&A
    Question: I have recently got a serious position within my company. One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions.   71   . My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?
    Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers（同事）is a hard task in itself, and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required. Question-and-answer periods as a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points,    72   
    ●    73   
    When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.
    ●Buy time.
    When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your own words.    74   . These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.
    ●Suggest a private meeting.
    A one-on-one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers.    75   
    A．Show your true interest.
    B．Restate the question with respect.
    C．Some ideas can be quite concrete.
    D．There were many difficult questions.
