In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 , but what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 38 diary? The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 39 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 40 that he does not want to 41 with others. Its interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information. I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 44 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but 45 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 that my sister might read it. The biggest 47 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about him in my diary, he would never know. 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 50 her blog and get angry. There are also 51 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary “Nobody cares about me ” no one would 52 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly 53 and tell her how much they 54 her. Blog helps people 55 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.36. A. same B. interesting C. difficult D. daily37. A. simple B. special C. similar D. different38.

Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in the new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.Last Friday Carl came to our city again. He hoped to accompany(陪伴) his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He was taller and stronger than before. We swam in the river outside the city together and had a picnic on the island. It surprised me that he had learnt to cook when we were traveling in the wild forest. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home and he had to look after himself.“How do you like your school?” I asked.“Wonderful,” said the young man.” It has a tall building and therere two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And its library is big and therere plenty of books in it.”“I can see you are satisfied with it.”“Yes,” he answered. “But our geography teacher often says it himself in class.”“So does our new history teacher.” I said. “But he doesnt notice it. He often talks on and on in a flow of the eloquence（滔滔不绝）, but none of us listens to him.”56. I can know what happens to Carl because_. A. he lives near to me. B. he often calls me C. I often visit him D. he often writes to me.57. Carl came back to our city to_. A. take his summer holiday B. look after his grandpa C. have a picnic on the island. D. travel in the wild forest58. _, so he learned to cook A. Carl liked all kinds of delicious foods.B. Carl had to do some cooking when he was alone. C. Carl found a job in a restaurant. D. Carl often had a picnic with his friends59. Carl is satisfied with his school because_. A. it has lots of books B. it has several labs C. its wonderful D. his teachers work hardBHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(责任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Whats more, life is always giving new things to the childthings that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.60. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _ . A. life for a child is fairly easy B. a child is always loved whatever he does C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return D. only children are interested in life61. The main idea of the passage is that . A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones life D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life62. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss . A. examples of successful young men B. how to build up ones position in society C. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifeCUSA? Britain? Which country is better to study in? We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice.63.

The writer thinks _ should be considered first before students study abroad. A. placesB. timeC. moneyD. language65. The writer mentions Liu Xiang in the passage in order to tell us that _. A.

Which of the following is NOT true? A. Studying abroad will cost students families a lot of money. B. Studying abroad will make it easy for students to learn well. C.

Studying abroad will bring students a lot of difficulties in their life.D “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!” That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. All children soon learn what “Dont touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them! Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see.67. By touching things, _.A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can tell the difference of the things D. you can tell what colors they are68. When people buy things in shops, they often_.A. feel and touch them B. keep their right hands on themC. ask about them D. try them on first69. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?” Because _.A. the things are used by people, too B. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the things D. the things are hard to feel70. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling B. To See or to Feel? C. Ways of Feeling D. To See Better-Feel 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 任务型阅读（每空一词，每题1分，共10分）This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes.
