Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you dont know for sure, its very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe youre riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).Even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we cant escape. Even if we ignore it, its still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Whos in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, youll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become alsaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 most likely means somebody or something that is _. A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps you B. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you57. The author intends to tell us that time _. A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies C. should be well managed for our own interest D. should be saved for outside interests58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _. A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost time C. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Suns energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of energy for our planet. It causes the evaporation(蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms(生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earths surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earths surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earths surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, youve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is _. A. the atmosphere surrounding the Earth B. water from oceans and lakes C. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky60. Only a small part of the Suns energy reaches the Earths surface because most of it is _. A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere B. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere C. lost in the upper and lower atmosphere D. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes61. We learn from the passage that _. A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food B. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy C. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth D. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earths surface任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations(调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyones ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g., photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.After youve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the teams effectiveness the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.TitleWorking TogetherThemeEffective performance needs highly cooperated (71) .General rulesKeep an open mind to everyones (72) .Divide the group task among group members.(73) and trust each other.(74) Understand and agree to the (75) task of ones own.Take turns doing various tasks.Show concern for others to ensure safety.Take (76) for ones own learning.Compare your own observations with those of others.Explore an issueBreak the (77) into several areas.Keep records of the sources just in (78) .(79) your information with others via proper format.Make all decisions by compromise and agreement.(80) EffectivenessAnalyze the strengths and weaknesses.Find out the opportunities and challenges.参考答案：36.

My family has been watching the Super Girl singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what PK meant, but I had no idea, explained the puzzled father. To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, PK is short for Player Kill, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other. In the case of the Super Girl singing competition, PK was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking. Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didnt understand. My GG came back this summer from college. He told me Ive grown up to be a PLMM. I loved to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM, went one composition. GG means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). PLMM refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). FB means Fu Bai (corruption). KPM is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao! 46. By writing the article, the writer tries to _ . A. explain some Internet language B. suggest common Internet language C. laugh at the Beijing father D. draw our attention to Internet language 47. What does the writer think about the term PK? A. Fathers cant possibly know it. B. The daughter should understand it. C. Online game players may know it. D. Super Girl shouldnt have used it. 48. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons_ . A. are used not only online B. can be understood very well C. are welcomed by all the people D. cause trouble to our mother tongue 49. The underlined word jargons means _ in Chinese. A. 行话 B. 粗口 C. 歌词 D. 趋势 50. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A puzzled father B. Do you speak Internet-ish? C. Keep away from Internet-ish D. Kong Long or Qing Wa?
