Wrong! Think about it.

Of course not. The truth is, all of us 27 to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 28 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 29 of the human heart. And those who learn to 30 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 31 of correcting others are often resented(怨恨) and 32 . A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise 33 others the joy of being right-give them the glory(荣耀). 34 correcting.

But the New England Patriots (爱国者队) and Carolina Panthers (黑豹队) were not playing soccer-they were competing for American footballs greatest prize, the Super Bowl. The first recorded game of American football was played between a Canadian and an American university more than 100 years ago, using a mixture of soccer and rugby (英式橄榄球) rules. The Super Bowl itself was first contested in 1967, but 2004 was the first time the game reached Chinese TV screens. In American football, teams score points by carrying a leather ball into the other teams goal area, known as the end zone. When a team carries the ball into the other sides end zone, this is called a touchdown (达阵). Players on one team can throw the ball forward to each other or pass it from hand to hand to move up the field, while the other team tries to stop them. Players are allowed to tackle (绊倒) each other to stop the ball from moving. Sometimes this is quite physical so padding (衬垫) and helmets are worn to prevent injury. A touchdown is worth six points, and a further point can be won by kicking the ball between two upright posts. Teams can also kick a field goal (射门得分) during the game for three points. A game is made up of four quarters (节) each lasting 15 minutes. American football is very popular because it exhibits a number of athletic skills, such as running, jumping, catching, throwing and kicking. There is also hitting and tackling, which can appear violent sometimes! The best-known league in the United States is the National Football League (NFL), which is made up of 30 teams, and the Super Bowl is its championship game. One of the most famous players is New England star Tom Brady, who was named the Most Valuable Player as his team won the Super Bowl last week. Brady plays in the quarterback (四分卫) position, and is the player responsible for throwing the ball to his teammates. Now the Super Bowl has arrived in China, maybe the game will become just as popular as basketball or soccer! Choose the best answer according to the story:41What is the Super Bowl? It is _.A. a famous American football awardB. the American football leagueC. best-known game in American footballD. a rugby contest 42 What is the highest score a team may get in American football?A. 10 points.B. 40 points.C. Less than 40 points.D. More than 40 points.43 Which of the following can replace the word violent at the end of Paragraph 6?A. Exciting. B. Bloody.C. Physical.D. Unpleasant.BLinguists（语言学家）believe that the languages of about one-third of the human race all developed from one Indo-European languageBut who were the speakers of this ancient（古代的）language？Linguistic detective work offers some clues（线索）It is sometimes said that you can deduce a peoples history from the words they useStudy of some fifty ancient vocabularies has led to a reconstruction of the lifestyle of the first Indo-Europeans，a vanished（消失的）peopleFrom the words they used，it seems likely that they lived a half-settled，half-nomadic（半游牧的） existenceThey had horses，oxen，and sheepThey plowed，planted，worked leather，and wove woolThey worshipped gods who are clear ancestors（祖先）of Indian，Mediterranean，and Celtic deities（凯尔特诸神）However，exactly who the original Indo-Europeans were and when they lived remains a hotly debated mysteryAccording to an early theory，they lived in Mesopotamia，but this idea was exploded by nineteenth-century archaeology（考古学）Today，some argue for the Krugan culture of the Russian steppes（干草原），others for the farming culture of the Danube valleyThe most widely accepted theory locates the Indo-Europeans in a cold，northern climate where common words for snow and wolf were importantNone of these prehistoric languages had a word for the seaFrom this，and from our knowledge of nature，it is clear that the Indo-Europeans must have lived somewhere in northern central Europe 44What would be a good title for this passage？ AIn Search of Ancient Indo-Europeans BThe M istakes of Early Archaeologists CPrehistoric Lifestyles in Europe DPrehistoric Vocabularies 45According to the author，what has helped us understand the lifestyle of the original Indo-Europeans？ AStudying their writingsBStudying prehistoric languages CStudying their gods DStudying ancient climate data 46None of the prehistoric languages studied had a word for seaAccording to the passage，what kind of information about the Indo-Europeans does this provide？ AInformation about where they lived BInformation about how they traveled CInformation about when they lived DInformation about what gods they worshipped 47What does the underlined word“exploded”mean？ ADeveloped BStrengthened CExplained DDisproved 48According to the passage，what was one thing that nineteenth-century archaeology showed？ AThat the Krugan culture began in Mesopotam ia BThat the first Indo-Europeans did not live in Mesopotamia CThat the earliest Indo-Europeans lived in Mesopotamia DThat there was a disastrous explosion in ancient Mesopotamia C There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company. Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock markets is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down. No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling. All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to gamble”. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive part of the business world.49.If you are an investor, _ in the stock market.

The devastation (毁坏) was caused when a massive earthquake sent tsunamis (海啸) smashing into Indian Ocean coastlines.Communities in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia and East Africa have been destroyed by the monster waves. Whole towns were simply swept aside by the power of the water. Cars, trains and buildings could not survive (幸免), let alone the people who stood in the way.The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale (里氏震级) and occurred off the coast of Indonesia. It was recorded as the fifth strongest since 1900.Scientists said the quake was as powerful as a million of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan during World War II. This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history because it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas, said Jan Egeland, a UN official.Because such waves rarely happen in the Indian Ocean, there is no system in place to warn coastal communities they are about to be hit.Tsunami is Japanese for harbour wave. They are usually caused by a sudden rise or fall of part of the Earths crust (地壳) under the ocean. Tsunamis often happen in oceans and they are most common in the Pacific. Normally a tsunami includes a series of waves.Tsunamis can be very long as much as 100 kilometres and be as far as one hour apart. They are able to cross entire oceans without losing much energy. One of the most striking facts about tsunamis is that an earthquake on one side of the Pacific Ocean can cause giant waves and destruction on the other side.When the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed at speeds of up to 800 kilometres per hour. They can cross the entire ocean in a day or less.The wave may only be a few metres high in the ocean but when it is near the shore and reaches shallow (浅) water, the wave builds up very quickly in height. Witnesses (目击者) in some areas of Indonesia reported seeing up to 10-metre high waves crash into the shore.Tsunamis travel outward in all directions from the centre of an earthquake and attack coastlines, said Wong Wing-Tak, senior scientific officer at the Hong Kong Observatory (气象台). They can easily suck people out to sea, cause flooding and destroy property.53.Why does the writer use monster in the second paragraph?A. Because the waves look like some monster.B. Because the waves are large and frighteningC. Because the size of the waves are like a monster.D. Because the waves have the same colour as a monster.54. Why may it be the worst natural disaster in recent history?A. Because many heavily populated coastal areas are suffering from the tsunamis.B. Because up to 10-metre high waves crashed into shore in Indonesia.C. Because it rarely happens in the Indian Ocean.D. Because it happens after an earthquake.55.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A sudden rise or fall of part of the Earths crust under the ocean can cause Tsunamis. B. Tsunamis travel outward in all directions from the center of an earthquake.C. Tsunamis will die out near the shore or in shallow waters.D. Tsunamis can affect the whole area around the sea.EA SUNFLOWER is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic (有毒的) chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.Weve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time, said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly (经常地) throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them.Some 650 million mobile p
