from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.For some parents the Internet can seem like a jungle,filled with danger for their children.But jungles contain wonders as well as hazards and,with good guides,some education and a few precautions(预防措施)，the wilds of the Internet can safely navigated(航行).“Kids have to be on-line,If we tell our kids they cant have access(进入)to the Internet,weve cutting them off from their future,”said an expert.Most kids have started to learn to use search engines.Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites,and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go.There are search engines designed just for kids.A certain softward contains only sites that have been selected as safe.But the most popular that was to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤)”.But this cant be wholly reliable,and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know whats OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet.Another is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览)the Internet.A few other tips:Dont put the PC in a childs room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things.That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information,especially details like address and phone number.And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone,send them anything,accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.56.The passage is mainly about the subject of_.A.American

lots of harmful sites(B)Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africas government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.61. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that _A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the countryB. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasonsC. travellers have to carry special papers such aspassports and visasD. customs posts are necessary at the borders ofthe countries62. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because_A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to othersB. they think such freedom will lead to warsC. they often disagree with each other on important mattersD. they want to show their authority over communication63.

Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Barriers Made by People B. Functions of CommunicationC. Restrictions on Transportation D. Progress of Human Society(C)NOBLE SMUGGLERThis Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷运者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto(聚居区). She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the childrens real names buried in jars in her neighbours gardens. (The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2020 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.You risked your life to save the children.I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you dont ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.How did you persuade parents to give up their children?I had to answer honestly that I didnt even know if we would get past the guards.What was the most frightening moment?When I saw a priest(牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in then best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.Did you tell your own two children what you did?I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldnt do more.- Samantha Levine65. We can learn from the passage that Irena Sendler _A. will go to Washington to accept the award with her daughterB. was caught a few times while she was rescuing the Jewish childrenC. told those parents that their childrens lives would be guaranteedD. saved thousands of Jewish children at the risk of her own life66. The expression everyone was drowning can best be replaced by _”A. everyone was involved in the warB. all the people were drownedC. people were facing danger and deathD. Jewish children were being killed67. Which of the following could NOT be expected when Sendler was smuggling the Jewish children?A. Some children were told to pretend to be sick in front of the guards.B. Some children pretended to be returning home after visiting servants in the ghetto.C. The children were asked to remember and use new names instead of real ones.D. The children pretended to be brothers and sisters from one big family.68.

Among them: He-man, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. Their appearance is surprising in an industry where all but classic toys like Barbie dolls tend to stay in the market for only a few years before they leave kid culture for good.The return of toys introduced a generation ago, say experts, is largely a generational effect. These toys were among the first to be marketed primarily through TV cartoons. The result: The toys carried with them a much stronger brand identity than toys from previous ages. When those who played with these toys during the 1980s began having children of their own, businessmen realized they could take advantage of parents emotional ties by bringing the toys back.Were starting to see a lot of properties and products coming back now for the kids of Generation X, says Greg Livingston, vice president of Wonder group, a childrens product marketing firm. But other industry observers say this return-of-toy trend is more rooted in basic economics. When the economy isnt strong, they say, toy-makers become more careful.One of the safest marketing techniques is bringing back toys that are proven successes. If youre in the business of making and selling toys, youre going to go the safest route, which is using proven brands, says Stephanie Oppenheimer, co-founder of the Oppenheimer Toy Co., an independent consumer group that rates toys; Other companies use product ideas that have sold well in other countries, such as Japan. Still, Ms. Oppenheimer also believes that American consumers simply are notin the mood for new, high-tech toys anymore. People are interested less in what we wish we had and more in what we already have, says Oppenheimer. As a country, were looking for things that remind us of simpler times.69. The expression in the first paragraph whats old is new again means that _.”A. both old and new toys are soldB. old and new toys are of the same priceC. old toys are in fashion againD. old toys have taken on new forms70. Which of the following is NOT listed as the cause for the return of the toys popular about two decades ago?A. Generational effect. B. Economic factors.C. Marketing techniques. D. Fierce competition.71. The expression for good in the second paragraph can be replaced by _.A. for ever B. for the futureC. for the best D. for all72. The main purpose of the passage is _A. to introduce the development of kid culture in the past centuryB. to analyse the reappearance of toys popular in the 1980sC. to promote the marketing techniques of toy manufacturersD. to show the impact of high-tech toys on the kids of Generation X第二节 简答题 (共3小题, 每小题2分, 满分6分)阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题,并将答案转写到答题卡上。Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals，and nearly all of them are for the same reason.Its true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives, though no fault of their own, which may make them feel upset.
