phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. so, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. but perhaps you neednt worry so much. after all, it is good to talk.41. the “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _.a. people are able to meet someone at any place and any timeb. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetc. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyd. people have to attend more phone meetings than ever before42. according to the two british researchers, the social and psychological effects are most likely to be seen on _. a. talkers b. texters c. the “spacemaker” d. the “speakeasy”43.wecaninferfromthepassagethatthetextssentbytextersare_. a. shockingtoothers b.wellwrittenc.unacceptablebyothers d.showing or making a new personality known 44. according to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile? a. talkers b. the “speakeasy”c. the “spacemaker” d. texters45. which of the following can be the best title of the passage? a. the influence of short message serviceb. body language and the mobile phone c. changes in the use of the mobiled. changes caused by mobile phone use bsign your child up for fly to the moon cluband enjoy a free * flight to any destination in asia!with a registration fee of just $50 per child, children under the age of 12 can join eagle airways fly to the moon club as members. they can then enjoy the same benefits onboard eagle airways newest boeing-797 to any destination in the world!benefits you cant miss!a free * flight to any destination in asia30% off any course at tanya language school20% off any purchase made at ruby bookstorea free notebook with every purchase above $50 at starlight stationerya free bowl of dessert for a family of four at dons dinersdinner ordereda birthday gift on your childs birthdaya free album containing pictures taken during the journeyall bookings made before 12 september will receive free travel insurance forthe entire family! * insurance is issued by live life insurance group.10% off all bookingsfor departures from 5 to 11 september* child must be accompanied by two paying adults.* terms and conditions apply.46. one of the benefits mentioned in, the advertisement is .a. a free flight to any destination in the worldb. 30% off any book purchased at ruby bookstorec. a discount on any course at tanya language schoold. a free bowl of dessert at any restaurant at the airport47. which of the following bookings may receive the most benefits?a.booking datedeparture dateseptember 13september 18cbooking datedeparture dateseptember 2september 12b.booking datedeparture dateaugust 15september 4d.booking datedeparture dateaugust 16september 848. which of the following is true according to the advertisement?a. club members enjoy free travel insurance for any flight.b. you need to pay $50 to sign up a child under the age of 12 for the club.c. the advertisement is intended for students of all ages.d. any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.49. where is the passage probably taken from _?a. a magazine. b.a newspaper. c. a report. d. a website.creading is a great way to improve your english. youll learn new words, revise previously-taught structures and absorb thousands of useful expressions and phrases. without any effort. by reading, you are receiving valuable language input. and this is how you learn! remember, language learning is a combination of input + practice. as youre reading, youre taking in language naturally, and youre seeing how it all fits together. this is crucial to your learning.the great thing about reading is that learning takes place subconsciously. there are no exercises to do, no grammar rules to learn, no tasks to complete. its all natural. the language flows in through your eyes, and gets registered(记录) in your brain. what could be easier?the key to effective reading is to read things that you want to read. there are millions of books, magazines and websites out there. you couldnt possibly read them all. so, the important thing is to find things that you like reading. then, youll be motivated to read. and then the reading wont be difficult. itll be easy! and then youll learn. its simple.remember: read what you want to read. what you like reading. what motivates and inspires you. but where can you start? well, you could read a book that youve already read in your own language. simply find a translated version of a book that you have read and enjoyed. this will make processing the content in the target language much easier as youll already know what the book is about! you could also read the news. this is great as you can read the news in your own language first, then in english. youll see that it wont be too difficult as youll be familiar with the topics and stories. magazines are also great. find one that covers a topic youre interested in: business, clothing, guns, horses, houses, housekeeping, stocks and shares, sports, computers, electronics, designing, cooking. you name it, theyll have it. if not, look for information on the internet. there are also websites for every topic under the sun! why not join a forum? theyre a great source of english input as the language is often written in a simple, spoken style. go to google groups, which has discussion groups based on common interests. just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.finally, how you read is also important. the best thing is to read without using a dictionary. let the words flow over you. just skip the parts you dont understand. if you make your reading feel too much like work, itll stop being fun. of course, you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently, but try not to break your concentration too much. also, set yourself mini-objectives. for example, if youre reading a novel, read 20 pages a day. very soon, youll have been exposed to thousands of useful phrases and words. have fun reading! youll learn so much!50. the underlined word “crucial” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _. a. easy b. difficult c. important d. suitable51. the key to effective reading is _. a. to be motivated to read b. not to learn grammar rules c. to read millions of books d. to read easy things52.you can start to read by _. a. reading a book that youve already read in english b. reading the news in english first c. going to google groups to practice spoken english d. reading magazines containing topics you are interested in53. from the passage we can learn that _. a. to read is as much fun as to work b. the great thing about reading is that you can read without any effort c. when you read you neednt look up every new word in the dictionary d. you should make notes of every new word and phrase while reading54. the best title of the passage can be _. a. how to read english novels b. how to learn english by reading c. how to absorb expressions and phrases d. how to learn english without any effortdok, i said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. whats going on with you and your friend j.? j. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her campa position lucy herself occupied the previous summer. now shes the one on the outs, and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while i offer up the unhelpful advice all summer long.shes fond of giving orders, lucy complained. shes fat, lucy mumbled（含糊地说）to the bowl we are going upstairs, i said, my voice cold, we are going to discuss this. and up we went. id spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day wed have to havethe conversation about this horrible word. i knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing（嘲笑），but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the f word一fat. my daughter sat on her bed, and i sat beside her. “how would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasnt your fault?” i began. “she could stop eating so much,” lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well-meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years its not always that easy,” i said. “everyones different in terms of how they treat food”lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. i opened my mouth, then closed it. should i tell herthat, in teasing a womans weight, shes joined the long, proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with youre ugly and ending with “no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does？should i tell her i didnt cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “im sorry, but arent authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?” d
