television. and anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. but no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the jerry springer and oprah winfrey shows.jerry springer could easily be considered the king of rubbish talk. the topics on his show are as surprising as can be. for example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. clearly, the jerry springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives.like jerry springer, oprah winfrey takes the tv talk show to its top. but oprah goes in the opposite direction. the show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.compared to oprah, the jerry springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. jerry ends every show with a final word. he makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.clean as it is, the oprah show is not for everyone. the shows main audience are middle-class americans. most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. jerry springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. these are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. they are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the shows exploitation.36. compared with other tv talk shows, both the jerry springer and the oprah winfrey shows are _.a. more interesting b. unusually poplar c. more detailed d. more formal37. though the social problems jerry springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows _. a. show disbelief in themb. are ready to face up to them c. remain cold to themd. are willing to get away from them38. which of the following is likely to be a topic of the oprah winfrey show? a. a new type of robot.b. national hatred. c. family income planning.d. street accident.39. we can learn from the passage that the two talk shows _. a. have become the only ones of its kind b. exploit the weaknesses in human naturec. appear at different times of the dayd. attract different peoplebscientists have long had it in their mind to make a robot lizard (蜥蜴). they began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. they noticed the lizards toes were unique: they have suckers (吸盘), which enable it to hang on walls. they, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet.the robot could hang on the wall but fell off when crawling. so, they went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough. it is the bristles (刚毛) on each foot that adds friction (摩擦) and static adsorption (静电吸附力) that makes a lizard move on the smooth wall easily without falling down. then scientists made great efforts to fix thick bristles to the robots hands and feet. however, the effect was not satisfactory. the robot still couldnt attach itself firmly to the wall. scientists got puzzled: how on earth can the lizard crawl on an extremely smooth wall or even on a ceiling without dropping off? an accidental finding inspired them: one day a scientist happened to see an animal attack a lizard and bite off its tail. the lizard broke away from the animals teeth and threw itself on a wall to escape, only to fall off heavily on the ground. the scientist wondered: is it the tail that plays an important role in its travelling on the wall? he caught some lizards for an experiment. the result proved his assumption: a tailless lizard has no trouble walking on an ordinary wall but cant on a smooth one. a further study showed the lizards tail can prevent it falling over backward and, whats more, that the tail acts as an additional leg while one of the lizards legs leaves the wall, which is always the case while it is walking on the wall. thus, tailbot, a super tailed robot, is born. 40. what part(s) would be a must if scientists just wanted a robot which can hang on the wall? a. suckers.b. suckers and bristles.c. suckers, bristles and a tail.d. hands, feet, bristles and a tail. /41 the bristles function as something _. a. to protect the lizards toes from injury b. to produce friction and static adsorption c. to prevent a lizard falling over backward d. to help a lizard move about without falling42. the biggest importance of a lizards tail lies in _. a. helping support the bodyb. serving as another leg c. sticking to the walld. stopping slipping 43. what does the underlined part in the fifth paragraph refer to? a. a lizard often falls over backward while it travels on the wall.b. a lizard often has three legs on the wall while walking on the wall. c. a lizards tail will replace one of its legs while it moves on the wall. d. a lizards tail often stops it fall over backward while moving on the wallc winners clubyou choose to be a winner!the winners

human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disasterluckily, they are just the director s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, eithertake my own experience in alaska as an example. once i took a trip to the glacieralong the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years. they started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when i finally saw melting glaciers（融化的冰川）my heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every secondsad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact. furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and thats about the population of the entire italy. according to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including new york, shanghai, tokyo and sydney will be drowned in waterour fortune is in our own hands. it depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. therefore, its time for actions to be taken right now. contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot waterlet recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain placeit might cost more time for now, but it s to the benefit of a permanent future. take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them in a word, small drops of water make a big ocean the earth does not belong to us on the contrary, we belong to the earth. please bear in mind that the earth is our home. it is our responsibility to build a brighter

host families, remains popular among language travel students for its advantages. these days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have something to worry about. _51_ staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition(习得) is likely to become faster. living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”， getting to know the local culture. besides, host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive, for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost. _52_ for one thing, some host families are losing their unique selling point. the problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for students but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. _53_ they are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socioeconomic groups in their own countries. _54_ they are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers._55_ it is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with langua
