the things you see give off light of their own. the sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. such things are luminous. most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. they are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. the moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. it is non-luminous. you see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. so moon light is only second hand sunlight.when you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. if light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.60. you can see the book because_.a. your eyes are close to it b. it reflects some of the sunlightc. it has light of its ownd. your eyesight can get to it 61. the underlined word “luminous” means_. a. visibleb. all colorsc. giving off light d. sunlight62. _ have light of their own.a. the sun and the moonb. the stars and the earth c. the sun and the starsd. the moon and the earth63. which of the following is true?a. all the things you can see give off light.b. light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.c. the moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.d. light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.ccheating can happen in a lot of different ways. when people cheat, its not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.many people like the action of cheating. it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. but it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test-unless the person cheats again.some people lose respect for the cheaters and think less of them. the cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. and , if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.some kids cheat because they are busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. other kids might feel like they cannot pass the test without cheating. even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.if you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. and if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. a kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. talking about these problems and working them out will be better than cheating.64. the author thinks when kids cheat in class, _.a. it is unfair to other people b. it does harm to their health c. teachers should punish them d. teachers shouldnt stop them art once65. some students like cheating mainly because_.a. the material in the test is very difficult b . they want to do better than the othersc. cheating can make hard things seem very easy d.

kids dont spend the time studying67. in the passage those cheaters are advised to _.a. spend more time on school than sports b. talk with the teacher or parents.c. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy d. ask their classmates for good methods of study第四部分 任务型读写 （共10题，每小题1分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只能填写一个单词studying abroadnowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in china. many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in china.as every coin has two sides, studying abroad is not an exception (例外). there are advantages for people to attend school abroad. in the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second language than living in the country where it is spoken. while studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world, this is not only exciting on the social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. he can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the first-rate facilities (设备) available. in this way, there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizons (眼界) and broaden his mind.of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. the most serious problem is language barrier (障碍). most of the students who go abroad dont have enough skills in the language spoken there. as a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations. therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.title: studying
