A study presented to the Royal Economic Societys annual conference concludes that teenagers judged to be the most popular at school are also likely to earn noticeably bigger salaries than their former classmates.Economists from the University of Sussex analysed findings from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a 15-year research project charting the fortunes of a group of thousands of teenagers who attended high schools in the US in the mid-1990s. Among questions about topics ranging from their physical fitness to their parents occupation, the teenagers were asked to list their closest friends.In cases where the researchers were able to survey the entire school, they were able to construct a map of the interconnected friendship networks to work out not only which children had most friends overall but, crucially, who was most influential. Those who had about 10 per cent more friends than average in their teens overall were earning almost 11 pet cent more in their late 20s.Other factors such as being in the top class and even having a higher IQ score appeared to have no significant effect on the teenagers earning power in later 1ife. But those tempted (引诱) to turn their back on their studies altogether on the basis of the research would be making a serious mistake. Having a good education was even more important financially than having lots of friends, with having a university degree boosting (促进) earnings by 25 per cent. Those who were married were also earning 19 per cent more than those still single.Our research confirms that the impact of education and school goes far beyond the knowledge that one acquires, supporting the importance of providing free and public education for everyone, said Lucia Barbone, the lead author. More attention should be devoted during childhood and adolescence to the development of social skills, for example, through social activities and clubs. 4.From the text, we can learn that the Study of Adolescent Health .A.recorded the fortunes of 1,000 high school graduatesB. was led by the Royal Economic SocietyC. involved questions of different topicsD. was conducted in the early 1990s5.The new research showed that .A.children with more friends end up earning more in later lifeB. most children like to make friends in their high schoolC.all play and no work is good for children D. the single earned more than the married6.Which factor has the most significant effect on teenagers future earning power?A. Being in the top class. B. Being popular in school.C. Having a high IQ score. D. Having a good education.7.Lucia Barbone thinks that children should .A. acquire more knowledge in school B.join more social activities and clubsC. choose their school freely D. go to public high schoolsCIts nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is: Is downloading legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and downloading are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal downloading, but you have to pay for them.It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isnt. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3 players or a car? Downloading from the Internet is a theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it worse. For example, if everybody only downloads, movies wouldnt make money and the studios wouldnt invest millions of dollars to make new ones.Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to do downloading. I think, that is the main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games without having to leave your house? You dont need to pay for what you get, there is no registration, and you dont have to wait until shops open or the CD/DVD you want is posted to you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny Amount of people have been charged for downloading illegally. The majority of people who download illegally, and use the files for their personal use, will not get into trouble. And thats why its important for people to understand what the long-term consequences are if they dont want to pay for their music, films and TV. Will film and music companies still spend millions of pounds every year if they have no chance of making a profit? The answer is plainly no.Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free. To summarize my thoughts Id like to highlight that illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download. 8.Many people download files free from the Internet because .A. they follow others examples to do such thingsB. they dont think they may be charged by the producerC. they think everything on the Net can be shared by othersD. they think it is legal, convenient and easy9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Downloading helps movies become more popular. B.Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing.C. Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous.D. Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit.10.What does the underline word highlight in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Stress. B.Explain. C.Admit.D.Deny. 11. What is the authors purpose of writing this text?A. He advises readers to download legal files.B. He asks readers to limit the amount of free downloading.C. He wants to make it clear that downloading for free is against the law.D. He tells readers how to avoid being charged for downloading.DMost of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. Thats comforting. But its also misleading because theres actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.Scientists know that Earth formed about 4.5 billion year ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust(地壳), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. Theyve found evidence suggesting that Earths crust started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is 1.3 billion years earlier than previous ones.Not long before 3.8 billion years ago, lots of small plates were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planets hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal (上地壳) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3.7 and 3.8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrurstal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks (裂缝) in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the whole area cooled, forming what we see today.That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests the Isua supracrurstal belt was once part of a plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.Its a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle, says one of the researchers. He notes that the puzzle was a very difficult one because these rocks are all. very old and have been badly ruined.12. The underline phrase oozed from in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to .A. filled up gradually B. washed away quicklyC. flew out of slowly D.broke through suddenly13. What can we infer from the text?A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.B. the Earths crust started shifting 1.3 billion years ago. C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.14. What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt?A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.B. It remained under the deep sea. C. It stayed hot and sinking. D. It kept moving slowly.15. The text is mainly about .A. why the Earth cooled B. how the Isua supracrustal belt formed C. whether the ground beneath our feet is stillD. when Earths crust began shifting第二节（共5小题）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes you just want to to get away. Your older brother and his friends are constantly camped in front of the TV, your baby sister wont stay out of your room, and you want some time for yourself.But when you get it maybe at a friends house for an all-weekend DVD marathon or on spring break at Disney World youre surprised to find yourself missing the chaos at home a bit.Whats that all about? 16 When youre homesick, you might feel nostalgic(怀念的)for familiar things like your family, friends, pets, house, or neighborhood. Homesickness isnt only for kids. 17 Teens might get homesick when they leave home for the first extended period of time, like during a vacation with a friends family.Familiar surroundings, people, and routines provide people with a sense of security and comfort. 18 Those homesick feelings are completely normal. 19 Others may feel physical symptoms, like stomachache or headache, or even become truly depressed. Most of the time, once the new surroundings and people become more familiar, feelings of homesickness go away. If you have additional stress in your life like a divorce or a death in the family homesickness can be more intense.Almost everyone has felt homesick at some time. 20 It means you have family and friends worth missing and a place you want to return when your adventure away from home is over.A.

You can imagine how 41 (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes 42 (fix) upon me. I bad no 43 (choose) but to prepare for it, though.

But the hardest part 44 (lie) in my oral presentation from my memory-for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began 45 . I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my 46 (listen) were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, giving out my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding-I made 47 ! From then on, my fear of talking before a big audience 48 (appear).
