thats something you should discuss with your parents. at any age, any chemical or heat applied to(应用于) the hair can damage the hair or cause it to break off. any styling that pulls hard on the hair can also hurt the scalp(头皮) or cause hair loss. styling tools, such as curling irons and straightening irons, get very hot and can cause burns. and chemicals used to color, curl, or straighten hair can be very harmful if they get into your eyes or onto your skin.5. the word “kids” in this passage refers to _.agirls bboys cstudents dnot only girls but also boys6. which of the following is not the cause of changes of ones hair mentioned in the passage?achange the hair style to act in a play. bit changes naturally with the age.cyou want to make yourself look beautiful or cool.da boys hair may become darker and darker when he gets older.7. whats the main idea of the last two paragraphs of this passage?aif you want to change the color of your hair, you have to use chemical.bhair can be straightened with an instrument.cyoud better change your hair with the help of your parents.dhair change by chemicals or instruments can harm the hair or the scalp。c the homestay provides english language students with the opportunity to speak english outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a british home. what to expect the host will provide accommodation and meals. rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. you will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. accommodation zones homestays are located in london mainly in zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central london is commercial and not residential(居住的)zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. it is very convenient to travel in london by underground. meal plans available continental breakfast breakfast and dinner breakfast, packed lunch and dinner its important to note that few english families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. your accommodation includes continental breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a continental breakfast in england. dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee. friends if you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your hosts permission. you have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. selfcatering accommodation in private homes accommodation on a room only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. this kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the longstay student. however, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice english at home quite as much.8the passage is probably written for _.ahosts willing to receive foreign students bforeigners hoping to build british culturectravelers planning to visit families in londondenglish learners applying to live in english homes9which of the following will the host provide?aroom cleaning. bmedical care. cfree transport. dphysical training.10what can be inferred from paragraph 3?azone 4 is more crowded than zone 2. bthe business center of london is in zone 1.chosts dislike traveling to the city center.daccommodation in the city center is not provided.11what do some people choose selfcatering accommodation?a. to experience a warmer family atmosphere. b. to enrich their knowledge of english.c. to entertain friends as they like. d. to enjoy much more freedom.d what will man be like in the future - in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? we commonly make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. let us take an obvious example. man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. now, on average, men are about three inches taller. five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量). as time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! this is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. nowadays our eyes are in constant use. in fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. but over long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. on the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. these, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. at the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. but what about hair? this will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. in the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! this may well be true. all the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. he will still be a human being, with thoughts and motions similar to our own.12. the passage mainly tells us that _.a. mans life will be different in the future b. future man will look quite different from usc. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes d. mans organs functions will change13. what serves as the evidence that man is changing?a. man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. b. mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.c. mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.d. man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.14. the change in mans size of the forehead is probably because _.a. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacity b. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesc. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on d. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time15. it is implied that _.a. human beings will become less attractive in the future b. parts of our bodies will become poorer if they are not used oftenc. human beings hope for a change in the future life d. future life is always predictable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。how to boost(增强) our selfconfidencewe all suffer from a lack of confidence to one degree or another. with low selfconfidence, we experience anxiety, discouragement, fear and depression(沮丧)._16_how to boost our confidence?
