阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
[1]It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners.Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.They hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your pace for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will notice your mistake. When such moments occur, don't_______.Just continue as if nothing happened.
[2]Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech—” I Have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech.Most likely, however, you don't remember.Why? Because you were concentrating your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
[3]People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition.But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer.They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.
[4]As you work on your speech, don't worry about being imperfect.Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
What's the main idea of this passage? ( no more than 10 words )
Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
It doesn't matter that you do_______________________during a speech.
Please fill in the blank with a proper phrase in Paragraph 1.( no more than 5 words )

( no more than 16 words)

[1] Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior. One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards.
[2] They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game, which is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher. The most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself,                  . The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment.
[3] The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs — or intelligence quotients — of the younger children who were not spanked (打屁股) were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.
[4] Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development is. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.
What is the best title of the passage? (no more than 10 words)
                                                                             
Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
Compared to the children's IQs whose parents use physical punishment, the result of those whose parents don't is 5 points higher.
                                                                             
Fill in the blank in paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)
                                                                             
List three facts that lead to the most successful behavior in paragraph 2. (no more than 8 words)

With rapid increase of economic rate in western countries, more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
Of course, a small family has its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
However,                      . The only child becomes the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to come.
On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be successful, it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is becoming easier to afford several children.
What is the writer's attitude whether it is good to grow up in a big family? (no more than 10 words.)
                                                                             
Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
                                                                             
What's the main idea of the second paragraph? (no more than 10 words.)
                                                                             
Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases. (no more than 10 words.)
                                                                             
Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Although parents need more time and money to raise several children, it’s easier than it’s thought to be.

[1]Traveling overseas to a foreign country can be an amazing experience. However, for those who are not prepared to take part in a new culture, they may be totally overwhelmed by having to go through this unfamiliar chain of events. This phenomenon is called culture shock, and often occurs when people visit a country for which they are not ready. One can avoid embarrassment and enjoy the trip more if they have taken preparations against such "shock" in the first place.
[2] First off, one must remember to prepare themselves through education for their visit. Do not just show up in some country like Mongolia with no idea about what to expect even in the least. Instead, take some time to read, research, and look up information on the specific country you are traveling to, either through the use of a library or a bookstore, or through the Internet.
[3]Secondly,                . Many times these people can answer questions you may have about the country, especially ones you may not have answers to from the research you have done online or in print. Firsthand experience is extremely valuable and having someone you can trust to talk about their experience in a certain country is very important.
[4] Lastly, after you have done everything you can do to prepare, you are on your way to your destination, remember to be very, very flexible, and be polite. It is so important to be flexible in your travel, which really helps in breaking down any culture shock on might experience. Keep these tips in mind, and be open in your travel experiences. Happy traveling!

Paris is the capital of France. It is also one of the most famous cities in the world.
Paris is called “the City of Light”. It is also an international fashion center. What modern women are wearing in Paris will soon be worn by many women in other parts of the world. Paris is also a famous center of education. For example, the headquarters of UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, is in Paris.
The Seine (塞纳河) divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. The oldest and perhaps most well-known is the Pont Neuf, which was built in the sixteenth century. The Sorbonne, a famous university, lies on the left bank of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the right bank of the Seine.
There are         in Paris, such as the famous museum, the Louvre, as well as the cathedral of Notre Dame. However, the most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower.
Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii. They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine about two thousand years ago. This island, called the lle de la Cite, is where Notre Dame is located. Today around eight million people live in the Paris area.

[1] What does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
[2] First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. Instead of waiting for teachers to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
[3] Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but                . They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
[4] Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.
[5] What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques above.
What is the main idea of the text? (Please answer within 10 words.)

Do you have a goal for life? What’s it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person?
A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “to improve one’s life quality”, and “finding a good job”.
Wang Yu worked in a small company in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn’t have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing in February, 2007. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job.
Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people’s life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his / her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one’s life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn’t have a diploma, studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; and if one doesn’t have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he will idle away (虚度) his lifetime.”

Caring for animals, tutoring kids, helping seniors: Volunteer hours are more than a graduation must, they are life lessons.
Vilma Sooknanan cleans cat cages, Max Carroll teaches children how to cook and Michael Rosenthal rolls wheelchairs at a hospital.
What does this have to do with high school education?
Everything.
The three – and almost all other South Florida high school students – have to go outside of the classroom to earn their diplomas, doing what schools call “community service”.
Broward public schools require 40 hours to graduate. Palm Beach County public schools require 20, and most private schools require at least that much.
The purpose: To give students the chance to explore a career and create a habit of volunteering.
“We hope that when they finish high school they’ll continue service,” says Mike Roland, student activities officer for the Broward School District.
About half of U.S. public schools require community service, according to a national study. Broward School Board member Bob Parks says encouraging community service has launched all kinds of new projects, including tutoring and food collections.
Sooknanan, a student at South Broward High School, is part of the Humane Society of Broward County’s volunteer program, which is so popular that even the waiting list is closed. Students work one four-hour shift a week for four months, and leave with 64 volunteer hours.
Sooknanan changes litter boxes and puts down fresh newspaper for about 100 cats.
Combined with her volunteer hours at beach cleanups and helping teachers at school, she’s well on her way toward 250 hours, which she hopes will catch the eye of Nova Southeastern University, where she wants to study marine biology.
Carroll, a junior student at South Plantation High, has connected with FLIPANY, a nonprofit organization that offers cheap physical activity and food to low-income families. He helps teach children about cooking and healthy eating.
“It has been a life-changing experience,” says Carroll, who is now leaning toward a career as a sports trainer. "I want to find a career encouraging people to lead a healthier lifestyle.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 15 WORDS.)
1. How many hours of community service are students required to do to graduate from most U.S. private schools?
2. Why do some U.S. schools require students to do community service to graduate?
3. The reason Sooknanan take up so many kinds of volunteer work is that ___________.
4. Volunteer work is popular in many high schools in the U.S., not only because it is a graduation must, but also because ___________ .

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[ 1 ] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone,9 Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?
[2] If                   , then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence (优先)over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, atrxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.                                    
[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.

My First Long Kun

Two weeks ago, I had a quarrel with my husband. After he had driven off in anger, I realized that I wasn't going to feel any better just sitting there. Feeling abandoned and guilty, I put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air.

Our driveway has a slope(斜坡) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy, taking advantage of gravity. Instead of stopping at the end of the slope, I decided t see if I could just jog to the end of the street. I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably. Since that first attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter, but still very lazy. However this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further.

After about one kilometer, however, I noticed that my upper body was tense. To make the movement easier I had to relax my body, and tried to take deep breaths of air.

I kept giving myself the excuse to stop. No one would be disappointed. No one would even know. But I didn't stop. I wanted to keep going harder, better, stronger. To my great surprise, I ran 4.9 km in 31 minutes. When I got back, I had tears in my eyes. I did something I thought I could never do.

It was the first long run of my life. Since I have improved my stride (步幅) and time, after every run I feel fitter, happier and motivated to keep progressing. I love the runner's high, I normally jog because I want look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.

[1]Every year there are changes in climate in different parts of the world. Some of these changes are due to natural causes. However, some climate changes are caused by air pollution and there changes may increase.
[2]If the pollution affects the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the results are likely to be serious. Carbon dioxide takes up only a small part of the atmosphere. But it performs an important function in keeping the balance between radiation from the sun entering the atmosphere and radiation leaving the Earth. Some radiation is absorbed by the Earth and some is radiated back into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevent some radiation from leaving the atmosphere. Thus the heat remains in the atmosphere and carbon dioxide help to prevent the temperature.
[3]If the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increased as a result of air pollution, the temperature of the atmosphere may rise. This might cause the ice in the North Pole to melt. If this happened, the sea level could rise and parts of Earth would be flooded. This happening is not quite likely but the possibility exists.
[4]There is also a fairly strong possibility that the level of dust in the atmosphere will rise _____________________ . This dust pollution from industry will reflect sunlight back into space. If this happens, less sunlight will reach the Earth and the temperature will fall.
[5]Another danger comes from the destruction of the Earth’s vegetation such as the forests of Brazil, which are being cleared away for farmland and cities. Trees use carbon dioxide and the destruction may disturb the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

In the old days of publishing, getting your manuscript into the hands of an editor often meant mailing the unsolicited finished product to the offices of literary agents or editors, where it would receive a cursory look from an editorial assistant — or none at all.
A modern version of the slush pile is the online “writing community,” a Web site where aspiring novelists can post their ideas, writing samples or manuscripts and open them to comments and reviews from strangers. On Tuesday Penguin Group USA, the publisher of Tom Clancy, Kathryn Stockett and Nora Roberts, will unveil its own venture, Book Country, a Web site for writers of genre fiction. In its initial phase Book Country will allow writers to post their own work — whether it’s an opening chapter or a full manuscript — and receive critiques from other users, who can comment on points like character development, pacing and dialogue. Later this summer the site will generate revenue by allowing users to self-publish their books for a fee by ordering printed copies. (The books will bear the stamp of Book Country, not Penguin, and the site is considered a separate operation from Penguin.) The site will also explain the business of finding an agent, marketing and promoting a book, using social media and handling digital and subsidiary rights.
Penguin hopes the site will attract agents, editors and publishers scouting for new talent, and allow writers to produce work with more polish and direction than they could otherwise. The project has been spearheaded by Molly Barton, the director of business development for Penguin and the president of Book Country. “One of the things I remember really clearly from my early editorial experiences was this feeling of guilt,” Ms. Barton said in an interview. “I would read submissions and not be able to help the writer because we couldn’t find a place for them on the list that I was acquiring for. And I kept feeling that there was something we could do on the Internet to really help writers each other.”
