the answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. we all have a name. it is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. we all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say.24what does the writer mean by saying “responsibility is the name of the game”?a. writers need to provide their personal information in the game.b. publication must bear the writers full name, address and phone number.c. writers should be responsible for their names.d. names are required to indicate writers responsibility for what they say.25the second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may _.a. not get a replyb. help to end a relationship c. be accepted all the samed. become a family problem26some people dont want their names known because they are _.a. hesitant to make a donationb. unwilling to draw public attentionc. afraid of an accusationd. ready for involvement27the passage is mainly about _.a. honor and writersb. identity and signaturec. signature and responsibilityd. anonymity and signaturec children in the united states eat too much pizza that some researchers now argue the food should join the ranks of sugary drinks and fast food for the harm they do to health in a new study, the researchers found that pizza is a large source of calories, saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and salt in childrens dietschildren should not eat more than two slices of pizza for a meal，and should pair that with salad, rather than with another high-calorie food，the researchers concluded “parents should aim to control pizza consumption(消费), particularly as a snack where it was shown to have a very adverse impact on children, and they should put their pizza dollars toward healthier brands”said lisa powel, director of the illinois prevention research center pizza has become a matter of focus in recent years for researchers who look at the meals children eat, rather than the nutrients within themstudies have found pizza is among the greatest sources of calories for children “since pizza remains a common part of childrens diet, we need to make healthy pizza”powel saidto make pizza healthier, food producers should reduce its saturated fat and salt, and increase its whole grain content,” she said whether or not pizza is harmful enough to be picked out as an unhealthy food, the study attracts attention to a larger issue with the modern american lifestyle, said alexis tindall, who was not involved in the flow research. “many foods are eaten too frequently and in large sizes,” said tindallto solve the problem, people dont have to give up eating pizza, but instead, they can eat smaller and healthier pizza，”she said “make it at home, instead of ordering it out where you dont have any control over how its made.” tindall said. “when we make it at home, we can choose healthier ingredients，increase the vegetables, reduce fat, and put in less cheesepizza doesnt have to be just pepperoni(意大利辣香肠)and cheese”28according to the research, children shouldnt eat amore than two slices of pizza in a daybtwo slices of pizza for a meal cpizza along with saladdmore pizza with french fries29powel suggests healthier pizza should be made awith more ingredientsbwith less salt cin smaller sizesdat home30the last sentence of the passage implies that pepperoni and cheese aare necessary ingredients of pizza bare not the only healthy ingredients of pizza cshould all be replaced with healthier ingredient dshould be reduced by adding healthier ingredients31what is the best title for the passage?

most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd. yale university art professor robert farris thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century west african philosophy. “cool” relates to ideas of grace under pressure. “in africa, ” he writes, “coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.” the modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the us in the period after world war ii. “post-war cool was in part an expression of war-weariness (厌战情绪), . . . it went against the strict social rules of the time,” write sociologists dick pountain and david robins in cool rules:anatomy of an attitude. but it was the american actor james dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie rebel without a cause. dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. he always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies. in the movie, dean showed what “cool” would mean to american young people for the next 60 years. today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics (体育运动) stars. often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. this can be seen quite clearly in movies like varsity blues and john tucker must die. but many teenagers also think being smart is cool. chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools. “call it the harry potterization of americaa time when being smart is the new cool,” writes journalist joe sunnen.32if you were considered“cool”in africa in the 15th century, you_. a. thought and acted differently from the majority b. had a calm and quiet attitude towards lifec. didnt observe rules and authorities d. had all kinds of “bad” manners33the heroes in varsity blues and john tucker must die are likely to be those who _. a. do very well in their studiesb. are very skilled at sportsc. are good at chess and other thinking games.d. have supernatural powers like harry potter34which of the following is not true according to the article?a. it is generally considered “cool” to be independent-minded and not to follow the crowd. b. “cool” was used as early as the 15th century. c. disobeying ones parents and the authorities is considered “cool” among american young people nowadays. d. getting the first place in an exam can also be considered “cool”. 35what does the article mainly talk about? a. the origin of the word “cool”. b. the kinds of people who are “cool”. c. the changing meaning of the word “cool”. d. how to be a “ cool” person.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。） 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。 going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown. socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger. you may probably miss your friends from high school. 36 college is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends. the question is: how? get to know your roommate. you may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate, but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends. 37 if you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors. as a result people will naturally stop in and say hello. closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold. other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship. join clubs or organizations. getting involved in organized societies is a great way to meet new people. 38 by staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests. talk to classmates. 39 starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are. short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships. try out for a sport.if you re athletic, trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do. 40 a. close the door to keep away from theft.b. hang a welcome sign on your dorm room.c. it also helps you get more familiar with the campus.d. your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with.e. you will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports.f. get to know your classmates as youll be spending several months with them.g. trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分。）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分。）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 dad had a green comb. he bought it when he married mum. every night, he would hand me his 41 and say, “good girl, help daddy clean it, ok?” i was 42 to do it. at age five , this dull task brought me such 43 . i would excitedly turn the tap 44 and brush the comb carefully. satisfied that id done a good job, i would happily return the comb to dad. he would 45 affectionately at me and place the comb on his wallet. two years later, dad started his own 46 , which wasnt doing so well. that was when things started to 47 . dad didnt come home as early and as much as he used to. mum and i became 48 with him for placing our family in trouble. with 49 , an uncomfortable silence grew between us. after my graduation, dads business was getting back on track. on my 28th birthday, dad came home 50 . as usual i helped him carry his bags into his study. when i turned to leave, he said ,“hey, would you help me 51 my comb?” i looked at him a while, then 52 the comb and headed to the sink. it hit me then: why, as a child, 53 dad clean his comb was such a pleasure. that routine(习惯) meant dad was home early to 54 the evening with mum and me. it 55 a happy and loving family. i passed the clean comb back to dad. he smiled at me and 56 placed his comb on his wallet. but
