Places of business that used 1o keep daytime business hours are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (无关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more flexible, is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the law of time even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer(学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with extra pay for overtime working, but less familiar with the fact that what makes up overtime is a matter of legal definition (法律规定). When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: Here is the law in action? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.（1）By saying Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be, the writer mans that _. A . work time is equal to rest timeB . many people have a day off on MondayC . it is hard for people to decide when to restD . the line between work time and rest time is unclear（2）The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _. A . fail to make full use of their timeB . enjoy working overtime for extra payC . are unaware of the law of timeD . welcome flexible working hours（3）According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _. A . need to acquire knowledgeB . have to obey their parentsC . need to find companionsD . have to observe the law（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . Our life is governed by the law of time.B . How to organize time is not worth debating.C . New ways of using time change our society.D . Our time schedule is decided by social customs.3. （10分）阅读理解(C)Walter Dean Myers，born on August 12，1937，was an American writer of childrens booksHe was known for young adult literature （文学） He wrote more than 100 books，including picture books and nonfictionI care about writing for young people because I remember how much I needed help and guidance at that time in my life，Myers said in his bookMyers loved writingHe got up at five oclock every morningHe worked at home in a small office that used to be his sons bedroomMyers would first write an outline for every bookHe called this prewritingHe imagined what the story would be and wrote down ideas in a notebookTo make sure theres enough action and dialogue for a good story，he thought of 30scenesHe wrote a short description of each scene in his notebookHe also cut out pictures of real people and put them on his office wallsHe looked at those pictures and came up with ideasOnce he knew what the story would be and who the characters were，he began to write the bookHe wrote five pages a day on his computerMyers usually worked on three books at a timeWhen he was not prewriting or writing a book，he might be rewriting something he had already completedThen he would send the story to his agent （经纪人）He or she made suggestions for the storyAfter these final changes were made，the book was published and made its way to bookstores and librariesBy that time，Myers would begin to write his next bookI want to do the best that I can with my writingsaid Myers（1）From the first paragraph，we know Myers A . was born in 1973B . was famous as a writerC . was born in BritainD . didnt write nonfiction books（2）The underlined wordthisrefers to A . imagining storiesB . describing scenesC . writing down ideasD . making an outline（3）helped Walter Dean Myers get ideas for the characters A .

I surveyed friends, and the results were very clear. When asked which day of the week they like the least, 90 percent of my friends chose Monday. Not one person thought of Monday as his or her favorite day. Songwriters have even written a song about horrible Mondays. In the 1960s, a musical group had a hit titled Monday, Monday. They sang. Every other day of the week is fine, yeah. But whenever Monday comes, you can find me crying all of the time. I dont agree with all these ideas. In fact, I think that Monday is actually the best day of the week.First of all, consider all the good things that happen on Mondays. If you are a sports fan, you may get to watch Monday Night Football in the fall. Furthermore, quite a few public holidays, including Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day, are celebrated on Mondays. That means that several times a year, a Monday provides a three-day weekend. And according to consumer (消费者) websites. Monday is the best day to get a good deal on a car because there arent as many people shopping on the first day of the workweek. Experts say that you can also get the best online deals on Mondays. This is especially true for electronics, such as computers, TVs, and video games.To me, however, theres something even more important about Mondays. Each Monday stands for a new beginning. For example, last week I got behind on my homework and had to spend the weekend catching up. But as soon as Monday arrived, I had a clean slate. Another week I forgot to do some of my chores, so I had to give up going to a movie with my friends on the weekend.I also love Mondays because we frequently start new lessons at school at the beginning of the week. While last weeks topics may have been boring, Monday can bring a new book to read, more experiments to conduct, or math problems to work out.I realize that I am probably not going to persuade everyone that Monday is the best day of the week, but hopefully I can encourage a few people to change their attitude The next time a Monday coms, think about all the good things that could happen and look forward to the day instead of fearing it.Theres no way to avoid Mondays, so join me in making the best of them. Who knows? You might even start liking the first day of the workweek.（1）Why does the writer mention the song Monday, Monday. in Paragraph 1? A . Because it was a very popular song in the 1960s.B . Because it shows most people dont like Monday.C . Because songwriters like to write songs about Monday.D . Because the musical group often performed on Monday.（2）The words a clean slate in Paragraph 3 probably mean_. A . a fresh startB . a sudden stopC . a tiring endD . a near future（3）What can we learn from the passage? A . People dont like to go shopping online on weekdays.B . The writer likes doing chores instead of going to a movie.C . The lesson topics on weekdays are always interesting.D . Some public holidays on Mondays make three -day weekends.（4）What does the passage mainly talk about? A . What makes Monday the worst day.B . Why some people like Monday the least.C . Why Monday is the best day of the week,D . How we can make good use of Mondays.二、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共30分)5. （5分）配对阅读（有两个多余选项）_I am Linda. I like listening to music on the weekend._Im Jim.

Id like to tell you some ways to improve your memory, so you shouldnt feel upset.My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly(有规律地). You might review the material two days after you learn it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month you will find that you can easily remember the material.My second advice is to use a colored pen to highlight （标注）the important parts on your book. This will help you in two days. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn the language. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you dont have to review all the material again.Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all the information in your mind right before you go to sleep. Your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better. Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning.（1）How long may it take you to remember the material easily if you review it regularly?（2）Is it easier to use a colored pen to help remember the key points?（3）What is the good time to review information?（4）How many pieces of advice does the writer give?（5）What is the passage mainly about?三、 选词填空 (共2题；共16分)7. （6分）根据对话选词填空。had better not , neednt, had better, would rather, mustntJENNY: Nick, we_go to bed.
