For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they cant do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers before the twenty-first century, except the old people. Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. Yet, many of their children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents. In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by todays students themselves! （1）Why do we say the computer is a useful machine?

All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and youll agree that the name and the product are connected in the everyones mind.In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies cannot make a product and, in fact, be buying something different. Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is. In the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations （联系）.The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image（形象）in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand nameCoke. It took some efforts before finding the right word which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names. These companies can charge （要价）up to $100,000 a word for their creations. But its worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.（1）Why are trade names protected by law in many countries?A . To make companies pay for naming service.B . To help people choose the best productsC . To present good images of the productsD . To prevent good images from being copied（2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Many companies care about the cost of finding the right namesB . Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger saleC . The government often does business with naming companiesD . It is considered necessary for cars to be names after animals（3）Whats the best title for the passage?A . The Business of NamesB . The Development of NamesC . The Rules of Naming BusinessD . The Methods of Choosing Names13. （8分）阅读理解 Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesnt struggle(挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it cant fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His fathers death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.（1）From the story we know that the butterfly cant fly because _. A . it gets out by itselfB . the man feels sorry for itC . it tries to challenge itselfD . the man helps it come out（2）Denniss example shows that successful people should _. A . overcome the difficultiesB . take up business earlyC . become the leaders of tomorrowD . sell clothes from door to door（3）The meaning of the underlined word mature in the passage is _. A . wake upB . give upC . grow upD . bring up（4）What is the writer trying to do in this passage? A . Describe where a butterfly comes from.B . Encourage young people to face challenges.C . Suggest how to become a successful businessman.D . Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.三、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共15分)14. （15分）阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题。(请注意每小题后面的词数要求) Foreign (外国的)visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there dont have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop.In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. How far is the post office? you ask. Oh, they answer, its about five minutes walk from here. You say, Yes, but how many miles away is it？ They dont know. People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, Follow me. Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. 根据短文内容回答问题。（1）Do most streets have names in Japan？(不超过5个词) （2）Why do people in Los Angeles measure distance by telling time？(不超过10个词) （3）How many countries does the passage tell us？(不超过5个词) 四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共18分)15. （1分）Tom thinks s_English is more difficult than written English. 16. （1分）The shy girl felt_(紧张) when she saw the strange people. 17. （1分）My kz()nz _visit me every Sunday. 18. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）be on a school trip_（2）go back_（3）take photos_（4）on sale_（5）a few_19. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）see friends_（2）wait for_（3）回家_（4）给家里打电话。_（5）躺在阳光下 _20. （1分）Do you know that Erhu is one of the most traditional_(乐器) in China? 21. （4分）将下列内容英汉互译 （1）sweep away_（2）cook the meal_（3）have a look at _（4）at work_五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或使用括号内所给单词的正确形式（每空不得多于3个单词）。Bill doesnt do well in public speaking.
