S. For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions (预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated (航行). Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they cant have access to the Internet, were cutting them off from their future, said an expert. Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a content screener (过滤器). But this cant be wholly reliable , and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet. A few other tips Dont put the PC in a childs room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity. Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line. Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number. And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along. 21. The passage is mainly about the subject of _. A. American children going on-line B. Internet in AmericaC. appreciating Internet D. opposing childrens on-line22. The best way to protect children from improper material is _. A. to install (安装) a content screener on the computerB. to buy some search engines for the childrenC. to be nearby when they are surfing the InternetD. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong23. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children. B. Childrens not having access to Internet may have effects on their progress. C. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children from having access to internet. D. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them. 24. According to the passage, we can infer that _. A. soft wares fit for children want programmingB. a child who is on-line is in dangerC. Internet is a jungle full of dangerD. Internet contains a lot of harmful sitesBMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of ones own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnights (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 25. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London. D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London. 26. One can use the same money for _ to buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 27. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. A. who live in the country B. who have spent time working in the garden C. who have a garden of their ownD. who have been digging, planting and watering 28. The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refers to _. A. the rest time B. the rest people C. the rest of the country D. the rest of the parks and of the sea CSo long as teachers fail to distinguish (differ) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning. 29. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_. A. too much time is spent in teaching about reading B. reading tasks are given with little guidance C. it is one of the most difficult school courses D. students spend limited hours in reading 30. The teaching of reading will be successful if _. A. teachers can make their teaching activities observable B. teachers can teach their students how to read C. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students D. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading 31. The word scrutiny (Paragraph 3) most probably means _. A. unbelief B. control C. inquiry D. observation 32. The main idea of the passage is that_. A. reading is more complicated than believable B. reading ability is something gained rather than taught C. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible D. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read D How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is normal for many people. You probably dont need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your healthfrom an increased risk of heart disease and obesity in the long term, to reduced cholesterol (胆固醇) maintenance in the short term. A 2010 study of nearly 9,000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day, the risk of dying rose by 11%. Another study tracked the health of 123,000 Americans between 1992 and 2006. The death rate for men who spent six hours or more per day sitting was about 20% higher than for men who sat for three hours or less. So what can we do about it? Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing. The BBC did a simple experiment with a group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting. They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took measurements when the volunteers stood and when they sat around. When they looked at the data, there were some striking differences, the BBC reported. Blood sugar leveled off much quicker on the days when the study subjects stood compared with the days they spent in a chair. Standing also burned more caloriesabout 50 calories an hour. The researchers believe that even small adjustments, like standing while talking on the phone, will help.33 .What bad effect does sitting too much have?A. A low risk of heart disease. B. Becoming too fat.C. Balanced cholesterol maintenance. D. Benefiting your neck.34.Whats the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Sitting is killing us. B. We should have a good diet.C. Watching TV does us no good. D. Women have higher death rate than men.35.What is the purpose of the experiment in the text?A. To help the 10 volunteers to lose weight.B. To find the difference between standing and sitting.C. To prove the benefit of standing.D. To teach us how to control blood sugar.第三节 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。 （共1题 ,总计10分）Mobile Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking? Millions of people are using mobile phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to have one. 36 They found that the phones are more than a means of communicationhaving a mobile phone shows that theyre cool and connected. The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity (负面报道) of such ideas. 37 On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. 38 This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. 39 The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
