michelle obama is a big fan of volunteering. volunteering means working for free to help someone else. mrs. obama says volunteering is very important. “it should be part of everyones life,” she says.many teens agree. they say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. these days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters, visit the elderly and more.some cities - including seattle, chicago, and washington, d.c. -require high school students to volunteer. students must volunteer in order to graduate. the student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities.many parents are in favor of the idea - they say volunteering helps teens build job skills. but most teens dont want to be forced to volunteer. they say

help. volunteers can help keep important programs going.not all teens will volunteer if it isnt required. schools should require students to do all they can to get ready for adult life.nomost teens are already very busy with classes, homework, jobs and sports. forcing them to do more isnt fair.it should be up to each person. helping out doesnt feel as good if you have to do it.finding a

b. explain what volunteering isc. tell what she does for the us d. show she enjoys volunteering22. according to the text, in chicago, .a. finding a volunteer job is quite easyb. more people would

volunteer jobs should students do?bla gomera is the only place in the world which has a whistle （口哨）language. we do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. but we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. there are many deep valleys on the island. a person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. but he can whistle and be heard. some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.the people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. they must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.we can understand why the whistle language continues. it is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. when somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. if the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. a boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. the last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. people help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.the whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. radio and tv often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country. but on la gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. perhaps soon after tv arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions. 25. if a person on la gomera is ill,_. a. others will phone the doctor in town b. people will take him to town by carriage c. his family will take him to the hospital d. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor26. la gomera is special because _. a. many visitors go there every year b. no visitors have ever been there c. people there have special ears to hear whistles d. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other 27. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. it is not easy for a person to live on la gomera if he cannot whistle. b. the whistle language can only be found on la gomera. c. the whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.d. the record shows that one best whistler can be heard others seven miles away.28. which of the following will be the best title of this passage? a. the secret language b. do you know the whistle language? c. the life of islanders d. la gomera一a mysterycthere are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. all that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. and the best part is that these are the kind of fun, family memories a child will remember for a lifetime. family game nightkids often get games for christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. or, make up some games of their own. charades（字谜游戏）is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination. divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.family art timepick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. it doesnt need to be just a drawingtake some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.family picnictaking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesnt cost any money. if the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.family field tripa family field trip doesnt have to cost a cent. ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things workyou might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.29. when playing the game charades, kids are supposed to _.a. prepare some cakes for each otherb. sing a song for each other in turnc. connect actions with certain wordsd. be quick to follow others actions30. which activities in the passage depend much on the kids imagination? a. family game night family art time b. family game night family picnic c. family picnic family field trip d. family

about how many calories you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? a new iphone application (应用程序) mealsnap may help. users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately. mealsnap was developed by dailyburn, a health social network that focuses on helping its users lead healthier lifestyles. it has created several other health and diet-related iphone applications. the application gives users a quick reply. to do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank (数据库) with the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.we started with something simplean apple. a couple of minutes later, the application replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. more impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. mealsnap replied that the bowl contained “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.mr. smith, director of dailyburn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. that is why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.in addition, mealsnap can act as a food diary. no need to write down what theyve eaten, the photoes will be stored. the users can keep a visual log (视觉的记录). mr. smith said, “its like a food journey, but easier. all you do is to take the picture. the simple act of recording something can cause a psychological (心理的) change that can help people on their health journey. knowing the calorie range makes me think more about what im eating.”33. the purpose of dailyburn is to_. a. help people find ways to lose weight b. make iphone more popular c. help people have a healthy life d. persuade people to buy iphone products34. what can be learned from the third paragraph? a. mealsnap is only useful for simple things. b. mealsnap can also tell what the food is. c. the result of mealsnap isnt always right. d. mealsnap needs a long time to show the calorie range.35. which of the following statements about mealsnap is true? a. it has been put into the market. b. people will have a physical change by using it. c. its popular because it was developed by dailyburn. d. people have to link iphone with the internet to use it.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。（注意：如果所用的答题卡没有提供e、f、g选项，请按以下方法填涂：选e请涂a、b，选f请涂a、c，选g请涂a、d。）five steps to better handwritingsome kids
