    Women, as all research suggests, are far more critical of their appearance than men. Most of them are likely to feel dissatisfied with their reflection in the mirror.
    It is quite possible that men looking in the mirror are either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women---if anything, they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness. Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.
    Why are women so much more self-critical than men? Because women are judged more on their appearance than men, and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more inflexible. Women are continually bombarded (轰炸) with images of the “ideal” face. And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV, magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly.  It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence.
    Also, most women trying to achieve the impossible standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century. In 1917, the physically perfect woman was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 10 stone. Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average women, now they weigh 23% less. The current media ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population---and that’s just in terms of weight and size. If you want the ideal shape, face etc., it’s probably more like 1%.

    A．compare different views on beauty between women and men
    B．tell us that standards of female beauty are very high
    C．explain why women are more critical of their appearance than men
    D．show us that women pay more attention to their appearance than men
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT the reason why women are more critical of their appearance?
    A．People pay more attention to their appearance than men’s.
    B．The criterion (标准；准则) used to judge women’s beauty is more critical and less changeable.
    C．Idealized images of female beauty are constantly shown in different media.
    D．Women tend to pursue perfection by nature.
    小题3:Which statement is true about men?
    A．Few men will feel pleased when they are looking themselves in the mirror.
    B．Men looking in the mirror usually ignore the flaws in their appearance.
    C．It is likely that men will consider themselves more attractive than they really are.
    D．Men don’t care about their body image.
    小题4:Nowadays, if an average woman weighs 110 pounds, then a physically perfect woman should weigh about _________.
    A．85 poundsB．101 poundsC．90 poundsD．135 pounds
    小题5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    B．The standards of female beauty. in the past were more easily achieved than today.
    C．Women are more unrealistic in their pursuit of beauty than men.

    Every ten years there is a national census （人口普查）to count the number of people. The Census Office asks every household to answer questions on a census form.
    The census counts...
    ● the number of people in each area
    ● the numbers of men and women and whether they are single, married, widowed or divorced
    ● how many children there are, how many teenagers, people in their twenties, thirties, forties... retired people and so on
    The census counts people by...
    ● the kind of housing they live in
    ● the country in which they were born
    ● the kind of job they do and how they travel to work
    Some uses of the census:
    Housing: to work out present and future needs we must know how people are housed now, and the sizes and ages of their families.
    Hospitals, schools and other local services: the size of annual grants made by the Government to these services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area. Many of the figures come from the census.
    Planning: the census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the local workforce is changing. This information is used when factories, offices, shops, public transport and places for leisure are being planned.
    In strict confidence
    The census is taken in order to provide figures about the nation as a whole; it does not give information about any named person, family or household.
    Names and addresses are needed to take the census accurately, but they are not fed into the computer.  After the census, the forms are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years.
    The answers you give on your census form will be treated in strict confidence. NO one outside the Census Office will see your completed form.  Everyone working on the census is sworn to secrecy and can be charged if he or she improperly reveals information.
    小题1:The writer is mainly ________ in this passage.
    A．persuading people to support census
    B．giving information about the importance and practice of census
    C．showing the government’s determination in conducting census
    D．warning people not to provide inaccurate information
    小题2:The census is not interested in ________.
    A．how many houses you haveB．how old you are
    C．what your job isD．how much money you have
    小题3:The census shows the changes that have taken place regarding ________.
    A．the size of hospitals in the area
    B．the types of public transport in the area
    C．the number of people who work in the area
    D．the use of power in the area
    小题4:The following statements are true except _________.
    A．the information is not fed into a computer
    B．the census gives information about the whole country
    C．the people who don’t work on the census will not see the completed forms

    Homelessness is a huge problem all over the world. It’s said that each day there are about 1 million people living on the streets in the US. It is a serious problem which should be dealt with effectively.
    There are two main reasons for people leaving their homes: poverty and less affordable houses due to bad economic conditions. Other reasons include: domestic violence, divorce, and mental illness. Living without a home makes people main targets of violence activities and besides, these homeless people have to face the following difficulties on a daily basis.
    They have to move about, carrying their belongings, which makes it difficult for the charity and the government to help them. They have limited access to bathrooms and restrooms and are forced to live in dirty conditions, making them easy to be attacked by diseases. They have limited access to health-care facilities in case of emergency, and almost no access to education as they have no money. They are often ill-treated by society, which makes them unfriendly, often ending up being involved in activities connected with crime like selling drugs or guns.
    Homelessness is not something that happened overnight --- it has been in the country for decades. The society usually believes those living on the street to be mentally unstable. This belief is partially true. Most of them are normal people just like you and me.
    The federal government is doing all it can to help but it is not enough, so the ordinary citizens have to stand up and try to help whenever it’s possible. There are various organizations, such as charity organizations that are working constantly to make sure that homeless people find a shelter to live in. the united efforts have helped millions of people return to their normal lifestyle. However, there is still a long way to go before a better situation is created for all the homeless.
    小题1:Homeless people suffer from all the following except __________.
    A．violent activitiesB．disease attack C．moving a lotD．heavy work
    小题2:The homeless are usually treated as __________.
    A．having mental problems B．a danger to society

    ① the government ② homeless people ③ charity organizations ④ the ordinary citizens
    A．①②③B．①③④C．①②④D．②③④

    What is the connection between violence and sports? Psychologists（心理学家） say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol（酒精）. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”
    David Sampson, a sports sociologist, agrees, “These are often celebratory riots(暴乱)— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly.”
    Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality.”
    Dave Zarifis, head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’ ”
    Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties.” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly.”
    小题1:Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs? 
    A．There’s a connection between violence and sports
    B．There are many reasons for violence at sports events.
    C．One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol.
    D．David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion.
    小题2:Which of the following does NOT belong to a “mob mentality”?
    A．“ No one knows I’m doing this.”
    B．“ It’s safe to do what many people are doing.”
    C．“There are so many of us and not enough of them.”
    D．“I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy.”
    小题3:How many experts are quoted by the writer of this passage?
    A．Five. B．Four.C．Three.D．Two.
    小题4:The last paragraph is mainly about ______.
    A．how to turn games into big parties
    B．how to prevent violence at sports events
    C．why to fix cameras in stadiums
    D．how to avoid oneself behaving badly
    小题5:What lesson can we learn from this passage?
    A．Never drink any alcohol no matter where you are.
    B．Whenever you are watching a game, you should keep quiet.
    C．Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something.
    D．Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.

    It is not only experts in China who are arguing over whether women should work after marriage or not. Worldwide this question is being discussed as an interestingly large number of married women enter the workplace. Take the United States for example. Since 1960, the percentage of married women in the work force has jumped from 31.9 per cent to 59.4 per cent.
    American women first moved into the paid labour force during the World War II, when men left their jobs to fight. In the last fifty years, more and more women have worked outside the home. And over these years of developing, Americans have changed their social values as a result. In 1975, women aged 35 and above made up half of all working women. And by 1980, 60 per cent were women at the age of 45 and above.
    Now in Japan, women’s work group is M-shaped with middle-aged women and those aged 20-25 at the two peaks. According to statistics(统计)， 37.7 per cent of Japanese women at childbearing age(25-29) still engaged themselves in work in 1980. and the number reached 50 per cent the next year.
    Being a housewife has always been regarded as a “graceful occupation” in Japan. Some young Japanese women believe it is good to be a “ professional housewife”. However, old attitudes have been changing everywhere, and sometimes just out of economic necessary. In recent years, a great number of city housewives have poured out of homes to take part time jobs. Even the UN has given its support.. The 34th Congress of the United Nations in 1979 put forward the decision for formal agreement on the getting rid of discrimination(歧视) against women.
    So far, most UN members have agreed on it, but some still haven’t,  including the United States.

    B．men encourage women to take paying jobs
    C．government encourage women to take paying jobs.

    Imagine an eco-conscious city where rooftops have been transformed into fertile, green gardens. It's a place where every home is equipped with a system that recycles valuable water resources. In this town, protecting the planet is a way of life. That's how Abby Sharp, 14, Wyatt Peery, 13, and Tom Krajnak, 14, saw their city of tomorrow. The vision won the eighth-graders from Bexley, Ohio, first prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition.
    The annual design competition challenges middle school students to use engineering to deal with issues that affect the earth. This year the competition focused on water conservation. Participants had to come up with ways to improve water use in the home. Kids from 38 middle schools across the country competed in the finals. The event took place from February 17-18 in Washington, D.C. More than 30,000 students entered the competition.
    Abby, Wyatt and Tom call their winning city Novo Mondum. The name means "new world" in Latin. Novo Mondum sits on the coast of Iceland. The group chose the spot for its wealth of clean energy resources, such as geothermal（地热的） energy and hydropower. Both sources use the power of nature to generate electricity. Geothermal energy draws heat from deep inside the Earth. Hydropower gets energy from flowing water. "Our city is very globally aware," Abby told TFK.
    Students team up with a teacher and a volunteer engineer mentor（顾问）to develop their cities. Each group creates a fictional city on SimCity 4 Deluxe, a computer game that allows players to build virtual towns. Then they construct tabletop models of the cities and write essays describing their project. The models must be made using recycled materials and cost no more than $100 to build.
    小题1: What’s the main feature of the city designed by the three winners?
    A．Making full use of water resources.
    B．Turning rooftops into green gardens.
    C．Protecting our home — the earth.
    D．Costing no money to build
    小题2:It can be inferred that water conversation is __________.
    A．one of the problems that influence the Earth.
    B．the main theme of 2009 Future City Competition.
    C．one of the issues for the participants to deal with abroad.
    D．an easy topic for all the students to design.
    小题3:According to the passage, Abby, Wyatt and Tom are _____.
    A. ninth-graders from Bexley, Ohio.
    B. second prize winners at the 2009 Future City Competition.
    C. lucky to get the first prize at the 2009 Future City Competition.
    D. eighth-graders from Washington, D.C.
    小题4:The underlined word “hydropower” means ______________.
    A．electric power from burning oil.
    B．electric power from burning coals.
    C．electric power from deep inside the earth.
    D．electric power from moving water.
    小题5: What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A．The process of developing a Future City.
    B．How teachers instruct the students in the competition.
    C．The process of building virtual towns.
    D．What materials should be used in the competition.

    Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China’s Zhejiang Province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing，Shanghai and Guangzhou，first-tier cities in China that have been considered dream places for many，because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs．
    The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday’s job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students．The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better．
    The fair attracted more than 10，000 graduate students with 7，382 positions．
    “The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable，”said Wang Jian from Nanjiing Normal University，who acknowledged he had thought about finding a job in Beijing，Shanghai or Guangzhou，but in the face of huge pressures，he has no choice but to be “realistic”．
    People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly salary of between 3，000 yuan($450)and 4，000 yuan，but in Shanghai，5，000 yuan a month can only help you survive and buying a house will remain a dream．
    A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month because“living  costs in Shanghai are too high．”
    An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary．“I would go to Beijing only if I can earn 200，000 yuan a year，”he said．
    “Beijing，Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that other cities don’t have，but the high housing prices and living costs make young people barely able to breathe，”said Ren Leiming from the job service center of Jiangsu’s colleges and universities．
    “First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for people to be outstanding，and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a dominant player at your position much more easily，”said Ren．
    小题1:The majority of graduate students will give up trying to find jobs in the first-tier cities because       .
    A．it is not easy to find jobs there．
    B．home prices and living costs there are very high．
