However, I did spend most of my childhood in a home without a television. In fact not having a television did contribute a great deal to my skills, and it also forced me to develop other valuable interests. We grew up in a small town, so my brothers and sisters and I spent time exploring streets, fields and woods. And of course I read and wrote and studied, which pushed me toward a career path.So would I give a similar situation to my own children if I had them? I doubt it, at least not in the most extreme sense. Im too much of a football fan, not to mention the TV serials (连续剧) like The Wire. But television or almost anything for that matter is unhealthy for kids. It can prevent them from living a full life. So maybe a reasonable answer is no cable or no video-game systems or simply setting the time limit, but I havent exactly worked out how to confine it yet. Although some people are against my idea, we do need limits after all.21. From the text we can learn that _. A. the author didnt like watching TV as a child B. the authors family seldom went to church C. not having a TV set brought the author many benefits D. few homes had a TV set when the author was a child22. From the last paragraph we can learn the author thinks that _. A. children shouldnt watch TV too much B. children should be forbidden to watch TV C. children should only watch serials and sports on TV D. watching TV is unhealthy for both adults and children 23. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “confine” in the last paragraph?A. Limit. B. Punish. C. Reject. D. Support. BWhen you are admitted to a local university, especially one without accommodation, perhaps youll live at home and become a commuting student（走读生）which benefits you. Its cheaper and you can have a comfortable and familiar situation, which means youll enjoy home meals youre used to instead of the changeless food in the university caf.However, commuting students need to try their best to get involved in the life of their college and to take special steps to meet their fellow students. Often, this means you should be active to seek out and talk to people in your classes whom you think you might like.One problem that commuting students sometimes face is their parents unwillingness to recognize that theyre adults. The change from high school to college is a big one, and if you live at home you need to develop the same kind of independence youd have when you were living away. Home rules that might have been appropriate when you were in high school dont apply. If your parents are reluctant to renegotiate, you can speed the process along by letting your behavior show that you have the responsibility that goes with maturity. Parents are more willing to acknowledge their children as adults when they behave like adults. If, however, theres so much friction（摩擦） at home that it disturbs your academic work, you might want to consider sharing an apartment with one or more friends. Sometimes this is a happy solution when family tensions make everyone miserable. 24. According to the paragraph 1, commuting students will_.A. spend more money B. enjoy various food in cafesC. enjoy home meals D. live in the dormitory25. Why is it not easy for commuting students to be accepted as adults?A. They are independent enough. B. They have much friction with parents.C. They behave like children. D. They have strong responsibility.26. Whats the best solution if commuting students conflict with their parents?A. Having a negotiation with parents. B. Having cold war with parents.C. Talking with their best friends. D. Moving out to live with friends.27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The relationship between commuting students and classmatesB. The advantages and disadvantages of commuting students.C. The problems between commuting students and their parents.D. The college life of commuting students involved in.CAn explosion on Thursday killed one and injured 21 in a busy street in Tongren, Southwest Chinas Guizhou Province. The bomb was hidden in a rubbish bin in the citys commercial hub, where lots of shops and restaurants are concentrated. The ear-splitting explosion was heard around 12: 50 p.m., said a local newspaper, which was described by witnesses. The power of the explosion shattered (使粉碎) nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless(不生锈的)steel rubbish can to pieces. One passer-by, identified（确认） only as Zhang, said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene. Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment.

Street Explosion Kills 1, Injures 21 DA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for note -taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes mindlessly by talking down word which the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said, While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears. In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.32. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can_.A. write more notes B. digest concepts betterC. get higher scores D. understand lecture better33. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be_.A. skillful B. tireless C. thoughtful D. mindless34. The author of the passage aims to_.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops35.

I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I meet 63 a sentence in the Bible, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the days own trouble be enough for the day.” 64suddenly occurred to me that 65(worry) about a problem doesnt help. Why not just give a big smile and face up to the trouble？”Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that 66 (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I 67 (deep) believe that theres something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me 68 courage to move on. Remember, whenever youre faced with a setback, 69difficulty you come across, all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, 70 it will shine on you.第二卷 (两部分，共35分)第四部分 写作 (共两节， 满分 35分) 第一节 短文改错 (共10小题；
