a. the flowers would never open in constant darkness. b. the flowers would change their usual time to open. c. the flowers would open ahead of the time as they usually did. d. the flowers would continue to open at usual time.( ) 5. what is connected with the sense of time that flowers have? a. its age and size.b. light and temperature.c. a kind of strange power inside them.d. some unknown information from the outside world.( ) 6. what will happen if we make good use of the “inner clock”? a. well need less sleep or food.b. well be able to sleep as long as we wish to. c. well be able to change our work tie when necessary. d. well have more energy to do our work better. cis your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you dont really want to talk to? do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? do you say “yes” to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? if you answered yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”. nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. the result is that we dont have enough time to see our real, close friends. as our lives get busier, it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us.who are the friends you need to edit? a few years ago, i read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions (物品). it said you should ask yourself about each thing you have: is it useful? do i like it? do i feel better every time i look at it? if the answer is no to any of those questions, you should throw it away. maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends. what kind of friends will you probably need to edit? sometimes its an old friend. somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to. or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time. next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think “do i really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse. in that way youll have more time to spend with your real friends.( ) 7. when do people need to edit their friends?a. they have moved to a different area.b. they have no time with their real friendc. some of their friends dont talk very much.d. their friends are people from work or school.( ) 8. which kind of friends dont people need to edit? a. real friends.b. old friends.c. young friends.d. new friends.( ) 9. what does the word “edit” in the passage mean? a. examine and choose.b. believe and help. c. miss and see.d. call and meet. deach year ben is glad when school is closed on martin luther king jr. day. ben knows that this day honours an important man, but ben does not feel connected to him. however, the small-world theory (理论) connects ben to dr. king. bens mom has a close friend, amy. amys uncle, mark, once met and spoke to john carter, the son of president jimmy carter. jimmy carter knew dr. king. in a way, ben is only “five people away” from martin luther king jr.the small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. another name of this chain is degrees of separation. each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. there are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. this means that there are zero degrees between ben and his mom. there is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. ben knew his mom but he hasnt met her close friend amy. therefore ben is one degree away from amy. as the chain continues amys uncle mark is two degrees. john carter is three degrees and his father is four degrees. dr. king is five degrees away from ben. the theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world. the small-world theory has a lot to do with math. the theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. each of those 50 people knows another 50 people and so on. when someone continues the calculation（计算） to six degrees it is like this: 1005050505050 = 31.25 10 .this number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). there are over 6 billion people in the world. these numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.does the small-world theory work? no one has ever proved it. maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.( ) 10. after reading the article, do you think what connects ben to dr. king?a. bens mom and her friend, amyb. the small-world theoryc. bens schoold. martin luther king jr. day( ) 11. ben is four degrees away from _.a. jimmy carterb. john carterc. amyd. mark( ) 12. what is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in paragraph 2?a. the chain to connect people.b. the relations between people.c. the steps of knowing strangers.d. the separation between strangers.( ) 13. what is the small-world theory mainly about?a. how far ben is away from dr. king.b. how many people one can get to know.c. how people are connected in the world.d. how the degrees of separation are set up.第卷 （非选择题，共40分）四、单词拼写 （本大题共8分，每小题1分。）根据句意，在空格内写出单词的正确形式。1. of the twin sisters, lily is even _ (crazy) about playing computer games. 2. sometimes one has to make some difficult but important _ (choose) in life.3. people in cold climates often prepare a lot of _ (dry) meat for the whole winter.4. he couldnt get away from _ (悲伤) because of his wifes death.5. _ (hope), i can see my old friend again who has been abroad for nearly ten years.6. its lucky to have so much _ (value) experience in communication during the course.7. the japanese government _ (许诺，答应) to try their best to control the n-pollution but failed.8. chinese scientists have made great _ (进步) in exploring space.五、动词填空用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。（本大题共8分，每小题1分）1. so far, a great number of people _ (donate) lots of money to help the children in need. 2. the greens _ (paint) the new house white when peter went past it.3. it was raining hard, but none of them said they _ (stop) working in the fields.4. the music video that you look forward to _ (sell) out yesterday.5. have you ever considered to devote all your time to _ (support) different kinds of charities？6. i supposed the famous detective _ (confirm) the name of the victim before reading the report. 7. the boy with his family was seen _ (leave) the village after the big earthquake.8. if we _ (not be) careful to protect the environment, therell be no wild animals in the future.六、 首字母填空 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和所给首字母，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，是短文意思完整。所填单词必须在答题卡标有题号的横线上完整写出。（本大题共5分，每格0.5分）do you have a mobile phone?
