The Internet can benefit us a lot       Many parents hate the Internet because their children abandon themselves to the Internet．Actually，the Internet can benefit us a lot．The Internet，which diverse people can turn to，is the source of abundant information．People can comb through the webs for what is relevant to their needs for reference．They can not only make appointments with doctors on the Internet，but also buy what they want through the Internet．It's very convenient for people to communicate with each other on the Internet．What's more，it is likely that people have a distant education on the Internet．
So，it is the children，rather than the Internet that are to blame．We adults should help our children learn to use the Internet appropriately．．

9．Music is an international language．The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere．
Popular music in America is what every student likes．Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class，after class and at lunch．Students with cars buy large speakers（扬声器）and play the music loudly as they drive on the street．
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work．They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people．But most of the radio broadcast is music．
Pop or popular music singers make much money．They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state．Once a popular singer is heard throughout the country，young people buy his or her tapes．Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer．Wherever the singer goes，all the young people want to meet him or her．Now the singer has become a national star．
Besides pop music，there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans．One is called folk music．It tells stories about the common life of Americans，The other is called western or country music．This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching．Today，any music about country life and the Love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music．

8．Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles．It was late．Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left，and I became increasingly impatient．
At one point along an open road，I came to a crossing with a traffic light．I was alone on the road by now，but as I drove near the light，it turned red and I made a stop．I looked left，right and behind me．Nothing．Not a car，no suggestion of car lamps，but there I sat，waiting for the light to change，the only human being for at least a mile in any direction．
I started wondering why I refused to run the light．I was not afraid of being caught，because there was clearly no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it．
Much later that night，the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me．I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other．It's not only the law，but it's an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor it：we don't go through red lights．
Trust is our first inclination（倾向）．Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us．The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust，not distrust．We do what we say we'll do，we show up when we say we'll show up；and we pay when we say we'll pay．We trust each other in these matters，and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them．
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night．

A．traffic rules may be unnecessary                    
B．doubting others is human nature
C．patience is important to drivers               
D．a society needs mutual trust

7．More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese（肥胖）．In fact，over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized，sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools．
Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight，and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight．
Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise．Not carrying out the first one enough，and not getting enough of the second one，ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight．
Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible，but it's also，partially，an oversimplification．Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat．Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet．If you don't want to eliminate red meat altogether，choose cuts of meat with less fat content．Limit your intake of salt and starches．If you've got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch，choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips．You might find you're really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste．
A diet rich in fruits，vegetables，egg whites，fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight．Drink more water and less sugary drinks．If you have to have a soda，a diet soda is a better option，but seltzer is an even better choice than that．
It's important-if not always easy-to make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day．If your feet won't allow for a regular jogging regimen，then make sure you take lots of walks．Next time you need to mail a letter，walk to the mailbox instead of driving．Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood．

28．You shouldAwhen you want to lose weight．
A．diet as well as exercise enough  
 B．try not to fit the clinic definition of obesity
C．get little exercise every day     
 D．focus your attention on diet only
29．The First Lady has started a movement toB．
A．raise people's awareness of healthy diet
B．control the public school dietary supplying
C．ban the sugary soft drinks
D．realize the importance of dieting
30．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph？D
A．We must keep far away from fat and ignore our taste．
B．The simplest and best way to lose weight is to eat and exercise more．
C．We should remove the red meat in our diet completely to reduce weight．
D．When it comes to diet，no one needs to starve themselves in order to lose weight．
31．The last paragraph is mainly aboutC．
A．walk
B．Diet
C．exercise
D．Jog．

6．Seventeen-year-old Randy Waldron．Jr．was shocked when be applied for his first credit card and was denied．He was even more shocked by the reason：He failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt．
Waldron's identity had been stolen by his father，who left when Randy way learning to walk．From 1982to 1999，Randy Waldron．Sr，used his son's Social Security number to obtain credit from various merchants and lenders，then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debts．He declared bankruptcy in his son's name，which resulted in default judgments against the younger Waldron．It has taken Randy Jr．now a 24-year-old flight attendant．years to untangle（解决）the mess．
Waldron isn't alone．Identity theft is this country's fastest-growing crime-and．increasingly．ID thieves are targeting children．Their clean credit and absence of criminal histories make them ideal victims．
Linda Foley，co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego Estimates that at least 400.000 children had their identities stolen in 2005 more than double the number in 2003．Waldron's case is typical：The resource center estimates that two-thirds of child ID thefts are committed by family members．
Some dishonest person use children's names and Social Security number to ring up massive debts； others use children's identities in place of their own when caught committing other crimes； still others sell identification information on the black market to illegal immigrants，fellow criminals or even terrorists．The theft brings its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma（创伤）．in part because the identity abuse often goes undetected for years．
Dealing with child identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult Laws in many states are insufficient to handle the crime's complexity，and financial institutions are often less than helpful．Randy Waldron Ir．has worked tirelessly for eight years to straighten out his credit record and he continues to deal with the fallout．"It's been a very long and hard battle，"he says．"Recovering my identity was really the absolute hardest part．I think a lot of victims assume the problem will go away．"

28．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？B
A．How to Avoid Identity Theft            B．Child Identity Theft
C．Recover My Identity                  D．Look out for family Members
29．Why do children easily become the targets of identity theft？C
A．Because they cannot read or write at a young age
B．Because they are too young to protect themselves
C．Because they have empty credit and criminal records
D．Because identity theft can't be found in time
30．With the help of the child's identity．the criminals can do the following except thatA．
A．straighten out their own credit record
B．substitute for their own identities when caught committing crimes
C．obtain credits from various merchants and lenders
D．sell identification information on the black market
31．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the country
B．Children should never trust their family members
C．Financial institutions should be responsible for the identity theft
D．New laws should be made to help the identity theft victims．

5．Selfies （自拍） have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments．When it comes to taking selfies，knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product．
The use of light is vital to improving image quality．Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face，so turn your face toward the main light source．If you want to be creative，play with light angles by turning your body，but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side．Besides，avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting．Additionally，natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing．
When taking selfies，angles also matter a lot．Hold the camera away from your face，and try to take photos both horizontally and vertically．If not，your face might look bigger than usual．Ideally，the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head．But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them．
One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds．You can always do more to show others your best side．Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas．Document yourself engaging in interesting activities--hiking with family members，visiting landmarks，or working out with friends．At least，you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy．
You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast．Some apps offer useful filters，which can change your skin tone and eliminate pimples （粉刺） on your face．

25．To get an image of high quality，you need toC．
A．be under the light source B．be against the main light
C．face the main light source D．have the photo fully exposed
26．How can you find the angle that suits you most？A
A．Study your face at different angles．
B．Hold the camera far enough from you．
C．Keep the camera lower than your face．
D．Place the camera 45 degrees above your head．
27．Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies？D
A．The use of natural light．B．A landmark as a background．
C．Changes of the skin tone．D．A busy background．

4．I am going to tell you（56）an unbelievable thing that happened in my restaurant today．This afternoon a（57）poorly-dressed（poor dress）gentleman came into my restaurant．Nobody knew who he was．We wondered why he was so hungry．We were very surprised that he finished two orders of food（58）ina very limited time．We doubted（59）whether/if    the man was able to pay for the food．When he was asked to pay the bill，the gentleman asked if we would mind（60）waiting（wait）for just a few minutes．Then we were shocked to see（61）that he took out of a letter a million pound bank-note．
I asked Mr．Clemens whether it was genuine．Mr．Clemens said it was true（62）because/since/astwo notes of this amount（63）had been issued（issue） by the Bank of England this year．He thought（64）what  the gentleman showed them couldn't be a fake．Why a gentleman with a million pound note was in（65）rags（rag）and ate in our small restaurant was a big puzzle to all the people there．I really couldn't describe how excited I was．

3．Today's workplace is unique in history．Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences．This difference of age，race，gender，and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company．
As a result，companies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively．Increasingly，managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern．
This has been an important realization．The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace．What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations．
The first thing to realize，they say，is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence．That is，it is not an accident that young employees will be different from older employees．In fact，if employers do not pay attention to these differences，it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company．
Resentment （仇恨） between members of different generations，if not attended to，can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful．That individuals from different generations should come to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising．
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances （联盟），to come together for protection．Different generations represent different experiences in life，and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one's approaches to work．
If you were raised in a time of plenty，when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive，you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable．If，on the other hand，you were raised in a time of scarcity，you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough．You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves．Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them．It is difficult，in such circumstances，to achieve a happy，agreeable atmosphere in the workplace．

84．What most possibly makes it difficult to organize or run a company？A
A．Employees are in different generations．
B．Employees are of different backgrounds．
C．Employees work in different styles．
D．Employees are in different races．
85．Employers should pay attention toB if they want to avoid anger between employees．
A．the different understanding of problems in the workplace
B．the different views on value of work and working methods
C．the different generations of employees in the workplace
D．the different ways of expressing anger in the company
86．The word"enmity"is closet in meaning toA．
A．hatred                     B．sorrows            C．ignorance                D．forgiveness
87．What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage？D
A．Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each other．
B．It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendly way．
C．The weakness of human nature causes the anger between employees．
D．The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees．

2．In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr．Martin Luther King Jr．'s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy．But in too many of those same schools，Black children's extraordinary talents are still being wasted today．Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level．
Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions（暂被停学）．A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds．Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students．Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out．So I applaud the U．S．Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the teenager justice and adult prison pipeline．If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle（摇篮） to college，career and success pipeline，we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses．
These resources，officially known as"guidance"，will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race，color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964．As we recognize the 50^th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year，we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago．
While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy，it does doubt some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including"zero tolerance"discipline policies which require compulsory consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence．
Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country．Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior，whether consequences are clear，appropriate and consistent，and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline．

90．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about？A
A．Unsatisfactory situation of Black students'education．
B．Life and legacy of Dr．Martin Luther King Jr．
C．The percentage of Black students dropping out of school．
D．The holiday celebrating Dr．Martin Luther King Jr．'s birthday．
91．The guidance issued by the U．S．Departments of Education and Justice mayD．
A．punish Black children for dropping out of school．
B．prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence．
C．push thousands of Black children out of school each year．
D．protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses．
92．According to the passage，the"zero tolerance"discipline policiesC．
A．prevent Black children from being absent from school．
B．are prohibited by the guidance．
C．have questionable consequences．
D．were considered discriminatory when they were released．
93．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？B
A．Criticism of the Education System
B．Steps Forward on School Discipline
C．Suggestions on the Civil Rights Act
D．Victories in the Civil Rights Movement．

1．Students who date in middle school have significantly worse study skills．They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates，according to new research from the University of Georgia．
"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships，"said Pamela Orpinas，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior．
Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade．
Each year，the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors，including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students'academic efforts．He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school，and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．
"At all points in time，teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills，"according to the journal article．Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit，being well organized，finishing homework，working hard and reading assigned chapters．
"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional problems of dating a co-worker，"Orpinas said，"when the couple break up，they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert （转移）attention from studying．"
^"Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school，"Orpinas concluded．
