involves a person called a magician who claims to have supernatural powers Magic words To work most magic the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order These words are called incantations or spells Some spells form prayers to demons 魔鬼 spirits or other supernatural forces Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly Other magic words have no meaning though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic For example a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle 洒 water on the ground The magician s combined words and actions form a ceremony Magic objects include certain plants stones and other things with supposed supernatural powers Any such object may be called a fetish 物神 But this term often refers to an object for example a carving or a dried snake honored by a tribe for its magic powers Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects Many people carry magic objects called amulets 护身符 to protect themselves from harm Many amulets are stones or rings engraved 雕刻 with magic symbols The magician In some societies nearly everyone knows how to work some magic In other societies only experts practice magic Magicians may be called medicine men medicine women shamans sorcerers or witch doctors In many societies magicians must inherit their powers In others any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos forbidden actions for their spells to work For example they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony 36 What do magic words mean to people in some society A They have the power to kill devils B They have power if magician recites the right spells C They have no effect at all D They can be used whenever they want 37 People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by A the spells B magic objects C stones or rings engraved with magic symbols D medicine 38 Why do many people believe in a fetish A Because it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money B Because it is carved with magic symbols C Because people think spirits live in it D Because it can help them with many things 4 39 According to the passage what kind of person can become a magician A Only those studying the magical arts B Only those inheriting their powers C Only men D Almost all the people in some societies 40 What s the best title of the passage A How Magic Works B The Power of Magic C How to Practice Magic D The Choice of Magicians B Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult when rules must be followed and tests passed In China although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16 many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18 In the US where everyone drives the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive At 16 American teens take their driving test When they have their license they drive into the grown up world Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school said Eleanor Fulham 17 She brought the pressure back to memory especially for kids from wealthier families It s like you re not cool if you don t have a car she said According to recent research 41 of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars up from 23 in 1985 Although most of these cars are bought by parents some teens get part time jobs to help pay Not all families can afford cars for their children In cities with subways and limited parking some teenagers don t want them But in rich suburban areas without subways and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation it is strange for a teenager not to have a car But police say 16 year olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19 year olds This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive Julie Sussman of Virginia decided that her son Chad 15 will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner s permit Chad said he has accepted his parents decision although it has caused some teasing from his friends They say that I am unlucky he said But I d rather be alive than driving and I don t really trust my friends on the road either In China as more families get cars more 18 year olds learn to drive Will this become a big step to becoming an adult 41 Which may serve as the best title of the article A Cars Helping You to Grow Up B Driving into the Grown Up World C Teenagers Driving in America D Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult 42 16 year old drivers have more accidents possibly because A they want to show themselves off B they are never experienced drivers C older people always drive better D they never drive carefully on the road 43 Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy 5 a car A How well off the family is B Whether the kid is old enough C What traffic condition there is around D Whether it s practically needed 44 When Chad said I don t really trust my friends he meant that A he might run into his friends if he drove B he didn t agree with his friends C he might not be safe if his friends drove D he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him 45 The passage mainly gives information about A an American culture B a cultural difference between America and China C a change in the Chinese culture D the relationship between driving and a person s development C I m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago While any of these statements might be true they are practically impossible to prove scientifically Still I was struck by a report which concluded that today s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s In fact the analysis showed normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago Why are America s kids so stressed The report cites two main causes increasing physical isolation 隔离 brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place Considering that we can t turn the clock back adults can still do plenty to help the next generation At the top of the list is nurturing 培育 a better appreciation of the limits of individualism No child is an island Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress To help kids build stronger connections with others you can pull the plug on TVs and computers Your family will thank you later They will have more time for face to face relationships and they will get more sleep Limit the amount of virtual 虚拟的 violence your children are exposed to It s not just video games and movies children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news Keep your expectations for your children reasonable Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale Make exercise part of your daily routine It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable But it doesn t have to ruin your life 46 According to the analysis compared with normal children today children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago A probably suffered less from anxiety B were considered less individualistic C were less isolated physically 6 D were probably less self centered 47 What does the author mean by saying we can t turn the clock back in the third paragraph A It s impossible to forget the past B The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten C It s impossible to slow down the pace of change D Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten 48 The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people s state of mind are A illogical B confusing C surprising D questionable 49 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage A To children anxiety is completely avoidable B TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world C Exercise does not help to lessen children s anxiety D Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little 50 The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is A to lower their expectations for them B to set a good model for them to follow C to get them more involved socially D to improve them with a safer environment D Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great In other cases students must take public buses and trains After junior high school students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores So some students travel a great distance to attend the school The school day begins at 8 30 Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day s studies Each homeroom has an average of 40 45 students Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day Only for physical education laboratory classes or other subjects requiring special facilities 设备 do students move to different parts of the school Between classes and at lunch time classrooms can be noisy lively places Some schools may have a cafeteria 自助餐厅 but most do not In most schools students bring a box lunch from home prepared by the mother in the early morning hours Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school 60 days more than American students Students in high schools take three years each of the following subjects mathematics social studies Japanese science and English Other subjects include physical education music art and moral 道德的 studies All the students in one grade level study the same subjects Given the number of required subjects electives 选修科目 are few After school Activities Club activities take place after school every day Students can join only one club and they rarely change clubs from year to year so the clubs are relatively stable Clubs are made up of sports clubs baseball soccer judo kendo etc and culture clubs English broadcasting science etc New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year 7 begins in April Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations 51 Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch A in restaurants B in school cafeterias C at home D in homeroom classrooms 52 Students in the USA go to school days a year A 180 B 200 C 240 D 300 53 The underlined word rarely in the fourth paragraph

difficult language to learn and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration Firstly in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally 1 A native speaker of Spanish for example will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese for example because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish while Chinese is very different 2 The greater the differences between the second language and our first the harder it will be for most people to learn 3 Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role as well as each learner s motivation for learning If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life Apparently British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the 8 second hardest language is Japanese which will probably come as no surprise to many but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian which has 35 forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject object etc 4 In the case of Hungarian for British learners it is not a question of the writing system which uses a similar alphabet but the grammatical complexity though native speakers of related languages may find it easier while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy No language is easy to learn well though languages which are related to our first language are easier Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another 5 A In this case first language can affect learning a second language B Therefore it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language C Some people seem to learn languages readily while others find it very difficult D This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone E Individuals from different cultures will find different languages more difficult F It is impossible to say that there is one la
