a. waiter, get my stuff in a plastic cover, please. b. is there anything wrong with the lift? c. would you like to watch the soccer match this afternoon? d. it is so great to go traveling across the country on a bicycle!32. it can be inferred from the passage that . a. just common words are used in day-to-day conversationsb. english spoken in india is mostly influenced by british english c. british english is different from american english in all wordsd. english in european countries is mostly influenced by american english33. whats the authors purpose of writing this passage? a. to share some of his funny experiences. b. to tell us that language is always changing. c. to tell us that english spreads widely in the world. d. to introduce some differences between british english and american english.34. where can the article probably appear? a. in a tv guide.b. on a website.c. in a science book.d. in a tour booklet.bhomework and exams can cause lots of stress and worry for people. whats worse, homework worry and exam stress can be difficult to overcome. but talking about them can help.doing homework might seem like youll never come to the end of it, and it can be especially tough if you are having problems with understanding your homework or you dont know what you are supposed to do. not understanding something at first does not mean you are dull or stupid. so, you dont need to feel ashamed to show that you dont understand your homework. everyone learns in different ways and you have to find a way that suits you. not telling anyone wont make it any better. talk to your parents or teacher about how you feel and ask them to explain it to you. they are there to help you and want you to do well. although it might be scary, they should be able to help you understand it better and find a way of working that suits you. instead of asking in front of everyone else, you can talk to your teacher privately. there can be a lot of pressure on young people to do well in exams which can cause exam stress. all the revision (复习) you need to do might seem impossible. there are things you can do to make it a bit easier and feel better about everything that you have to do. if you are worried about anything, talk to your school teacher or your parents about how you feel and dont be ashamed to ask for help. there is nothing wrong with being worried about exams; its very normal. remember, exams are important but they are not the only key to a successful future.35. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to “”.a. time spent doing homeworkb. too much homeworkc. taking an examd. doing homework36. the writer thinks that a student not understanding something at first .a. sounds unusual b. is quite normal c. happens to dull students onlyd. is a shameful experience37. young students are advised to .a. go over all they have learnt before an examb. ask their classmates for helpc. talk to their teacher about their problems in classd. find their own ways of studying38. why does the writer mention that exams are not the only key to a bright future?a. to help young people reduce stress.b. to tell young people a fact.c. to show that exams are not so important.d. to share his viewpoint with young people.cback when our children were small, who could have imagined what life would hold for them: pressures surrounding alcohol, drugs, choices, and consequences. we recognize that our childrens need for independence grows as they do. and talking about touchy (棘手的) subjects can be especially difficult when teens tend to tune us out. driving a teen to meet his/her friends may seem like just another unpleasant thing, unless you recognize it as an opportunity to talk. of course, you may have to get the conversation going. if you worry about losing control of the conversation, try to do something you both enjoy together, like cooking, hiking, or going to a concert or museum. “before i discuss topics like alcohol or drugs with my son,” one father says, “i do a little homework. often its as simple as checking the phone book for hotlines or asking my doctor to recommend some pamphlets (小册子). if my son is not willing to discuss a touchy subject, i can still give him a number to call or an article to read. and, of course, i tell him im always available if he needs my help.” dont start a personal attack or hold a family conference to open a dialogue on a tough subject. no matter how serious the subject is, its important not to be heavy-handed or much focus on your child.say youve read an article or heard about a troubling situation from a colleague or a friend. share this information with your teenager; then ask his/her opinion rather than offering yours. suppose youre discussing aids, and you can arouse your childrens interest by asking: do you believe it cant happen to you? do your friends discuss aids among themselves? what are some strategies to stay safe? when a teen feels that the two of you are exploring a subject together, he/she is likely to share his/her own thoughts.39. in the first paragraph, the underlined part “tune us out” can be explained as “”.a. go along well with usb. rely much on usc. understand what we saidd. pay no attention to what we said40. according to the passage, the father mentioned may agree that .a. parents should do certain research before talking about a serious subject with their childrenb. parents should avoid talking about such topics as alcohol and drugs with their childrenc. children should turn to their parents first if they need any helpd. children should see a doctor or read a book if they meet with big heath problems41. as for a tough subject, parents should avoid .a. talking much about their childrens friendsb. sharing information with all their family membersc. choosing the formal way to communicate with their childrend. being curious about their childrens opinions42. in the case of discussing aids, what parents can do is to .a. share opinions with their colleagues or friendsb. inspire their children to express their ideasc. remind their children of the danger of itd. give their children as much advice as possibledlouis pasteur was a world-famous french chemist and biologist. he is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine (狂犬病疫苗). the rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva (唾液) entering an existing wound. after experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. by studying the tissues of infected animals rabbits, pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. this could be used for inoculation (接种).on july 6, 1885, pasteur tested his pioneering rabies vaccine on a man for the first time. he saved the life of a young man called joseph meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. the treatment lasted 10 days and at the end he recovered and remained healthy. since then thousands have been saved by this treatment.on march 1886, pasteur was invited to present his results to the academy of sciences and in 1888 went on to found the pasteur institute in paris. this was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. the pasteur institute is still one of the most important centers in the world.pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. he died at saint-cloud on september 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the cathedral of notre dame.modifications (修改) of the pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. a newer vaccine which contains virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.43. rabies probably can destroy a persons . a. nervous systemb. blood c. skin d. saliva44. what can we learn about pasteurs test of his vaccine on the man? a. the man was sent to a clinic ten days later. b. it didnt save the mans life. c. it proved to be a great success. d. the man was his second patient.45. after pasteur died, the pasteur institute . a. worked much better than before b. worked well until today c. continued to be in business for many years d. became the most important centre in the world 46. what can we infer from the last paragraph?a. pasteurs rabies vaccine is out of date.b. a new rabies vaccine has already been tested on patients.c. injections of vaccine still take much time.d. much improvement has been made on rabies vaccine.efor many women inventors in years past, the invention process was twice as difficult because, in addition to the suffering of inventing, they also faced the skepticism (怀疑) of a world that didnt believe women could create something of value. fortunately, over the years, that opinion has been defeated by women inventors like margaret knight, who were willing to fight for the praise and recognition.born in maine in 1838, margaret knight showed an interest in inventing from a very young age. after observing an accident in a factory at the age of 12, margaret started to produce her first invention. she invented a device that would automatically (自动地) stop a machine if something got caught in it. by the time she was a teenager the invention was being used in the mills.later, margaret went to work in a paper bag factory. while working in the factory, she thought how much easier it would be to pack items in paper bags if the bottoms were flat. that idea inspired her to invent the machine that would change her into a famous inventor. margarets machine made the flat-bottom paper bags that are still used to this day in most grocery stores.however, a man named charles annan tried to steal margarets idea. not one to give in without a fight, margaret took annan to court (法庭) to compete for the patent (专利) that belonged to her. while annan argued simply that a woman could never design such a machine, margaret showed evidence that the invention indeed belonged to her. as a result, margaret received her patent.margaret didnt stop there though; throughout her lifetime she had lots of different inventions including a rotary engine, a shoe-cutting machine and a dress and skirt shield. 47. in margarets time .a. women inventors were not welcomed b. women were not allowed to invent anythingc. people didnt believe women could invent anything valuable d. margaret was the only woman inventor who was recognized48. we can infer from the text that .a. margaret knights first invention proved unsuccessf
