    Learning English is a great challenge, but with a little help from technology it can be as easy as a piece of cake.
    As well as the classroom, teachers and textbooks, the Internet, TV and radio programs can play an active role in helping learn English. The Internet is full of rich and up-to-date information. English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn.  This website is co-established by the British Council, the BBC World Service and Central Radio and TV University. It provides cultural information about Britain and has an example of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) that students can use for practice. Different levels of grammar tests can also be found.
    Make friends online
    Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is. Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online, students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.
    Users have the opportunity to make friends with people who share their interests.
    In the teaching and learning section, there are reading and vocabulary tips for students.
    Compared with the Internet, TV programs have their own advantages: one does not have to sit at a computer and the audio and visual effects can even be relaxing.
    One popular English-learning program is called "Modern English". This focuses on oral English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.
    The short dialogues and useful phrases may help students to express themselves if they go abroad or meet foreigners in China. More than 50 TV stations in about 300 cities have aired the program.
    Word to World
    If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a program titled "Study Abroad". On this show Professor Wang Qiang from New Oriental School hosts "From Word to World".
    He selects words with a deep cultural background and teaches useful phrases related to that word. Cartoons are also used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.
    China Radio International airs a program called "Studio Classroom" at 6:30 a.m. every day. This 25-minute program is aimed at middle school students and covers subjects from current news to travel and history, all in simple language.

    A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes．“Pay attention!” Teachers will often warn doodling students，sure that they must be daydreaming．
    However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps concentrate the attention：   
    Andrade，a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture． Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture. The other half weren’t given a task．After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture．   
    Those given the doodling task(color in squares and circles)remembered 29 percent more information than the non-doodlers．Andrade said．  
    “If someone is doing a boring task，like listening to a dull conversation，they may start daydream，”said Professor Andrade．
    “Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task，resulting in poorer performance．A  simple task，like doodling，can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task，”he said．   
    So the next time you’re doodling during a class，and you hear “pay attention”，you can tell  the teacher with confidence that you’ve been paying attention to every word． 
    66．The passage mainly tells us        ．

    68．According to the text，it is helpful to doodle when    ．
    A．a boring lecture is given      B．an interesting story is told
    C．watching a long TV program   D．having a conversation with the teacher
    69．Professor Andrade thinks      ．
    A．those given the doodling task can remember less information
    B．if you have daydream during classes you’ll have a good memory
    C．daydreaming is better than doodling
    D．doodling can stop us from daydreaming
    70．We can learn from the text that      ．
    A．doodling is the best way to draw attention

    第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中,选择出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A
    He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
    On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him, following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel. “He should be punished for the killings,” an Israeli official said, “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”
    But the decision has angered many other countries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East. Other governments share this idea.
    Arafat himself said: “They can kill me, but never get me out of my country.” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives, Arafat escaped every time.
    For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving person is harder to hit. In 1985, Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat. The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt. In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over North Africa broke in two during a crash landing. The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.
    What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.
    Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ram Allah in December 2001. When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.
    But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
    All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
    But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
    41.  Which of the following statements cannot be used to describe Arafat?
    A．He went to visit a few foreign countries last year.
    B．He is not afraid of death in face of his enemy.
    C．His office used to be in Tunis.
    D．He remained alive during an air crash in 1992.
    42.  According to the passage, which statement is true?
    A．In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in South Africa.
    B．Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
    C．China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
    D．Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away from his people.
    43.  What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?
    A．Arafat is as clever as a cat.
    B．Arafat can live as long as a cat.
    C．Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives.
    D．Arafat should have died for at least 8 times.
    44.  The underlined word “ignore” can be replaced by __________.
    A．obey the instructions       B．take no notice of
    C．pay much attention to     D．give out orders
    45.  What’s the writer’s attitude towards Arafat’s future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?
    A．Hopeful.   B．Interesting.      C．Satisfactory.     D．Doubtful.

    In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonald’s”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and round the world.  
    Why was his idea successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “ TV dinners ” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
    Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed(处理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.
    From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.
    小题1:The underlined sentence “Cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth” means that ______.
    A．cooking for some people is worth more money
    B．it is not worthwhile to take too much time to cook for one person
    C．there are more problems when one person cooks
    D．divorce (离婚) causes people to change their eating habits
    小题2:An idea implied but not directly stated in the reading is that ________.
    A．many married women began to work in the 1960s
    B．natural foods are still popular today
    C．fast food is not part of the diet of all Americans
    D．divorce causes people to change their eating habits
    小题3:McDonald’s success lies in the following causes BUT_________.
    A．people living alone tend to depend on fast food
    B．single parents have little time to spend in the kitchen
    C．many women returned to the workplace in the 1960s
    D．Kroc chose the “Mc Donald” brothers as his partners
    小题4:The main idea of the reading is that ________.
    A．Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the world
    B．social and economic changes affect eating habits
    C．fast-food is easy to prepare and serve quickly
    D．Americans eat either fast food or natural food

    Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?
    Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（给……起绰号）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.
    “You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”
    Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.
    One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.
    Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”
    I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”
    小题1: The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us     .
    A．the origin of the Nobe1 Prize
    B．the achievements Harry and his wife made
    C．how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was started
    D．how Harry and his wife helped kids
    小题2:The World of Children presents awards to those who   .
    A．help the kids in the U.SB．realize the importance of education
    C．raise a lot of money for the poorD．do a lot to help kids in need
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about Talia?
    A．She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa.
    B．She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans.
    C．She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia.
    D．She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana.
    小题4: What advice is given by Talia to those who want to help kids in need?

    C．To win help from adults.D．To make an idea become popular.

    A frightening example of the sea’s power saw 125,000 people die in 12 different countries last week. The terrible disaster was caused when a great earthquake sent tsunamis breaking into Indian Ocean coastlines. Various areas in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa have been destroyed by the huge waves. Whole towns were simply swept aside by the power of the water. Cars, trains and buildings could not remain steady, not to say the people who stood in the way.
    The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale and occurred off the coast of Indonesia. It was recorded as the fifth strongest since 1900. Scientists said the quake was as powerful as a million of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan during the World War II. “This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history because it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas.” said Jan Ege-land, a UN official.
    Because such waves hardly happen in the Indian Ocean, there is no system in place to warn coastal people who are about to be hit. Tsunami is a Japanese word. They are usually caused by a sudden rise or fall of part of the Earth’s crust under the ocean. Tsunamis often happen in oceans and they are most common in the Pacific.
    Tsunamis can be very long, as much as 100 kilometers. They are able to cross entire oceans without losing much energy. One of the most striking facts about tsunamis is that an earthquake on one side of the Pacific Ocean can cause huge waves on the other side.
    When the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed at speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour. They can cross the entire ocean in a day or less. The wave may only be a few meters high in the ocean, but when it is near the shore and reaches shallow water, the wave builds up very quickly in height.
