    Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an      36   of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been    37   only a few decades ago.   38  , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears    39   resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
    40   Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved    41   its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks    42   to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also    43   thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year,    44   travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is    45  to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
    Signs of Nanjing’s    46   wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen,    47   the father of modern China, looks    48   over a busy    49   area.
    There is perhaps no more    50   symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May.    51   offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
    Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and    52  student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music    53   in all sorts of places.
    On a larger    54  , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract    55   from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

    Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, a famous scientist has warned．Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans （幅度）, encourage instant satisfaction and make children more self-centered．
    Warnings from neuroscientist （神经系统科学家） Susan Greenfield will disturb the millions whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites each day．But they will strike a chord （弦） with parents and teachers who complain that many teenagers lack the ability to communicate or concentrate away from their screens．
    More than 150 million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts．A further six million have signed up to Twitter, the "micro-blogging" service that lets users exchange text messages about themselves．But while the sites are popular and extremely profitable, a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good．
    Baroness Tarot, an Oxford University neuroscientist believes repeated exposure could rewire the brain．Computer games and fast-paced TV shows were also a factor, she said．"My fear is that these technologies are weakening the brain to the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and live for the moment．" "I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these easier and faster screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages on the supermarket shelf," she said．
    Psychologists have also argued that digital technology is changing the way we think．They point out that students no longer need to plan their term papers before starting to write—thanks to word processors they can edit as they go along．
    A study by the Broadcaster Audience Board found teenagers now spend seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen．Educational psychologist Jane Healy believes children should be kept away from computer games until they are seven．Most games only excite the "flight or fight" areas of the brain, rather than the areas responsible reasoning．
    Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood, said: "We are seeing children's brain development damaged because they don't engage in the activity they have engaged in for thousands of years．I'm not against technology and computers．But before they start social networking, they need to learn to make real relationships with people．"
    小题1:.
    According to the passage, social networking websites might _____．
    A．make young users more selfish
    B．lengthen young users' attention span
    C．encourage young users constant satisfaction
    D．help young users communicate better with their families
    小题2:.
    A neuroscientist may worry that sites like Facebook may ______．
    A．help children learn to make real relationships with people in society
    B．encourage students not to plan their term papers before starting to write
    C．disturb those whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites
    D．make real conversation in real time give way to easier and faster screen dialogue
    小题3:.
    From the passage we can infer that _____．
    A．Baroness Tarot agrees websites cause small children's small attention span
    B．Jane Healy believes computer games can do good to children's reasoning
    C．Susan Greenfield's warnings have been brought to wide public attention
    D．Sue Palmer's book Toxic Childhood discusses the development of networking
    小题4:.
    What is the purpose of this passage?
    A．To tell us the conflict between neuroscientists and psychologists on websites．
    B．To present some negative opinions on social networking websites．
    C．To offer advice on the problem of brain damage caused by social networking．
    D．To analyse how social networking websites cause damage in the brains of teenagers．

    If you have ever experienced jet lag(飞行时差反应)，you know how much of a drag it can be. Jet lag happens as a result of air travel, when traveling between two or more time zones. Your body is used to operating in a certain time zone, and when its timing is affected, you’re likely to have problems.
    Edward Norton’s character in the movies Fight Club faces the struggle of jet-lag-induced sleeplessness due to his constant traveling. Sleeplessness is just one of the effects of jet lag, and it can lead to other problems, such as tiredness, memory loss and confusion. That’s not something you should have to fight on a business trip and it certainly won’t make your vacation very enjoyable, either.
    Sleeplessness is the biggest problem for travelers that suffer from jet lag. Don’t worry. You can do something to prevent it.
    Modify(改变)Your Body Clock
    To prevent the effects on your body’s timing that come with crossing time zones, you need to change your body clock sooner, rather than later. You can do this by putting yourself on the same time as your destination time zone before you fly. If you know that you will be traveling to London from the eastern United States, you’ll have a five-hour time difference to deal with. Plan for it.
    Avoid Heavy Food and Alcohol(酒精)
    Part of the pleasure of flying commercially, especially if you fly business or first class, is taking advantages of the food and drinks. If you want to avoid jet lag, though, you should think twice. Eating heavy food will only make the jet lag worse. It isn’t good to drink alcohol during a flight, either, because it may make you drowsy. Wait until your body adjusts(调整) before you decide to have heavy food or drink alcohol.
    小题1:
    What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．What jet lag is and the effects it has.
    B．What jet lag is and the movies about it.
    C．How jet lag happens and how to fight it.
    D．How jet lag happens and tips on traveling safely.
    小题2:
    Norton’s character in Fight Club has to fight with         .
    A．confusionB．sleeplessness
    C．heavy drinkingD．memory loss
    小题3:
    The underlined word “drowsy” probably means “     ”.
    A．worriedB．shockedC．sleepyD．excited
    小题4:
    According to the passage, in order to prevent jet lag, you should         .
    A．sleep for the whole flightB．drink little alcohol
    C．not fly business classD．know your destination well
    小题5:
    The passage is most likely taken from         .
    A．a travel magazineB．an entertainment report
    C．a geography magazineD．a fashion website

    Growing up the daughter of an outstanding educator, Andrea Peterson knew at a young age that
    she wanted to serve others. It was with this mindset that she started to take a degree in medicine. However ,while visiting her brothers who were away at college studying music education, she realized that she too was drawn to teach music.
    In her ten years at Granite Falls, she has revitalized（复兴） the music programs at both the
    elementary and high school levels, to the extent that an additional music teacher was hired by the district to assist with the workload. The growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District has encouraged students to participate in county ,state ,and national music competitions, and won a lot of prizes for the district.
    Teaching music is only part of Peterson's instruction—it serves as a vehicle to other areas .
    "Music is an amazing tool to unlock students' potential. The most visible benefit from their success in music is their increased confidence and self-esteem," Peterson said. "However, I don't believe it is the only benefit, nor the most powerful. It is truly exciting to see how my music teaching can transfer back to other classrooms." With this philosophy, Peterson introduced a cross-curriculum program ,where she takes lessons taught in other classes, such as English and math ,and expands upon them in an eight-week unit.
    One of the most popular projects in Peterson's classes is the creation and performance of a musical, In the activity students create a play from one of the books they have read in another class. Students work together to choose the music that best fits with the overall feel of the play and then perform it for the greater community. "Through Andrea's efforts these kids have helped to put Granite Falls, Washington, on the map for musical talents. Parents, staff, and community members continue to be in awe of what she is able to bring forth from the children," said Debra Rose Howell, a colleague of Peterson's at Monte Cristo Elementary School.
    小题1:At the beginning, Andrea Peterson planned to work as a (n)       .
    A．teacherB．doctorC．educatorD．musician
    小题2:The 2nd paragraph mainly tells about     .
    A．Andrea Peterson’s life at Granite Falls
    B．county, state and national music competitions
    C．the growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District
    D．Andrea Peterson’s contributions to Granite Falls’ music programs
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT a benefit the students get from Andrea Peterson’s class?
    A．Music talent development.B．Increased self-confidence.
    C．Ability in learning other subjects. D．Prizes for English and maths.
    小题4:The following sentences tell what the students have to do about their musical project. Which is the right order of the events?
    a．They chose proper music for their play.
    b．They adapt the story into a play.
    c．They put on the play for the whole school or the whole community.
    d．They practice performing the play.
    e．They choose a story they have read in another class.
    A．e→b→a→d→cB．e→b→c→a→d

    By 2050
    Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
    TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.
    Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.
    Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
    Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there is equipment that connects directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.
    Scientist will have discovered how to control genes（基因）. Scientists have already produced clones(克隆) of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?
    小题1:
    According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT __________.
    A．reading newspapers on a computer
    B．making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth again
    C．creating cloned animals
    D．choosing TV programs freely from a “menu”
    小题2:
    We can learn from the passage that some big companies prefer robots to human workers, because human workers __________.
    A．can work 24 hours a dayB．often ask for more pay
    C．are not clever enoughD．are often late for work
    小题3:
    From Paragraph 5 we can infer that __________.
    A．there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050
    B．few diseases will attack people by 2050
    C．equipment is connected directly to the brain to help people hear today
    D．medical technology will be more effective by 2050
    小题4:
    What is the author’s attitude towards the cloning technology?
    A．The author does not support the use of cloning technology.
    B．The author thinks human cloning is impossible.
    C．The author does not really support the idea of human cloning.
