The problem, as far as the government, experts and many parents are _41_, is that kids are just not doing _42_ of it. Its not just a question of children not reading the classicsdifficult works by William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. Reading _43_ is in crisis in the UK. Many different reasons are given: lack of encouragement form parents, competition from TV and the Internet and computer games. But the government and schools have not given up on youngsters. There are many schemes to encourage kids to read more and thereby get into the habit of a(n) _44_ that will bring real fulfillment. The National Literacy Trust (NLT), a body, set up by the government, _45_ has a scheme called “Reading Champions”. This summer Reading Champions has a(n) _46_ called “Quest Seekers”. It is_47_ to take children on a ride into _48_ and wondrous land where they can discover the joy of reading and nurture a _49_ love affair with reading and books. The idea is to turn a trip to their local library into a kind of magical adventure, of the kind that young readers love in the Harry Potter books.III. Reading Comprehension 15%Section AMore and more young women want to look beautiful. Young womens desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 50 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a(n) 51 disorder which occurs largely among young girls; 52 , it is also found among someof the young women, and in some cases, among boys.Anorexia nervosa is 53 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted (扭曲的) body image. 54 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 55 on dieting. Their perceptions of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 56 , as fat. Most 57 of anorexia lose 25 percent or more of their body fat. Anorexia also causes them to become weak. From five to six percent of anorexics _58 _die from starvation.Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to be quite 59 among young girls, although it was 60 a problem twenty years ago. The 61 of Anorexia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 62 but it is related to a psychological (心理的) need. One theory is that they want to avoidbecoming an adult, since starvation can 63 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty(青春期). Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the mother figure or to being the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl shows her ability to _64 _at least one aspect of her own life.In addition, researchers notethat the problem may result in a wrong body image-the ideal of female beauty of being very thin.50Aordinary Bextreme CinterestingDeverlasting 51AactingBsleeping CstudyingDeating 52AhoweverBfurthermore CanyhowDtherefore53Abrought byBfound inCregarded asDcharacterized by54ABecause BWhen CAlthoughDIf55AforcedBwillingCchecked Dfixed56AratherBneverthelessCfurtherDeven 57AloversBvictimsCwomenDpatients58AgreatlyBstrangely CactuallyDsteadily 59AstrangeBcommonCpossible Doften60AhardlyBcertainlyChopefullyDexactly61AmedicineBtruthCresultDcause62ApossibilityBopportunityCnecessityD. importance63Abreak Bcut Cslow Dturn64Acontrol BimproveCbuildDinstructSection B 30%ATodays dad spends more hours on childcare than a dad a generation ago. But he still lags behind the modern-day mom, even when her wages are equal, a new study reports. Researchers found that the number of hours a mother spent at work had no effect on the amount of time a father devoted to childcare during the week. Similarly, a mothers income had very little influence on fathers involvement in childcare. On weekends, however, fathers spent more time with their children. Despite womens increasing role in the labor market, most mothers remain the primary caregivers of young children on weekdays.Researchers found that fathers spent an average of 2.5 hours on a weekday and about 6 hours on a weekend day with their children. This included time spent playing together or doing schoolwork, personal care such as bathing and feeding. On weekdays, children spent one-third less time with their fathers than with their mothers, but on weekends the time gap closed and kids spent only 13% more time with their mothers than with their fathers. Children of women who made more money spent more time with their fathers on weekends, however. “The good news is that as women become equal contributing partners, the relative involvement of fathers does increase,” one researcher said. “The bad news is that men still do less on traditional womens jobs (taking care of) babies, dishes, etc.”In other findings, fathers with some college education spent 17 more minutes per weekday with their children than dads without any college education. Fathers who made more money spent less time with children on weekdays, but the amount of time was fairly small. “Our findings suggest that although mothers still shoulder most parenting, fathers involvement relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase,” the researchers conclude. “A new father role is emerging on weekends in families.”65The underlined word “This” in the second paragraph refers to _. Athe study reported in the textBthe role a father plays in childcareCtime a father spends with his children on weekendsDtime a father spends with his children during the whole week66Which of the following explains a fathers increasing involvement in childcare?AWomens liberation movement.BThe kind of job women do.CThe kind of job fathers do.DA mothers income.67Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the text?AFathers are more involved but mothers are still main caregivers.BChildren need care from both parents in a family.CEducation is the key to the improvement of womens good health and happiness.DWomen have become equal contributing partners of income in a family.68Which of the words below best describes the researchers attitude towards a “new father” role?ASurprised.BPleased.CDisappointed.DDissatisfied.BYou can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to StarbucksYoull get a 10-cent discount, and its one less paper cup to end up in a dustbinThe store wont create more waste when they throw away a cupStrategy 2: Turn off your computerWhen in standby mode, your PC is still using energyTurning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 poundsStrategy 3: Reuse plastic bagsInstead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them.

It might be a little expensive to buy, but youll save money on your electricity bills and help the environmentIf we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new treesStrategy 6: Plant a treeAdding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasingJust one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year69.

They all aid to preserve our trees and forest.C Just the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques. From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry(条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly(任意地)selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfiedwith their performance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, students marks are official-there is no going back. Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices( 登记处)for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day. In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past，each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.73. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores .A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papersB. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center workerC. on the next day after they have taken the examD. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer74. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance .A. he can admit defeat and give it upB. he can ask the computer to give some adviceC. he can ask another chance within a few daysD. he is allowed to do it once again75. Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that .A. different exams can b
