Julia Roberts was born on October 28，1967，in Smyrna，Georgia. She is one of the most popular film actresses in the United States．She caught the public’s eye in Mystic Pizza. The next year, she became more famous because of Steel Magnolias．Roberts earned an Oscar nomination(提名)for Best Supporting Actress for her work on the film.
After that，Roberts’ career really took off. ① One of her best known roles was as a hooker who falls in love with a man played by Richard Gere in Pretty Woma n. Roberts then played a variety of dramatic and romantic roles in such films as The Pelican Brief，Michael Collins，My Best Friend’s Wedding，Stepmom, and Notting Hill. In 2000, she made a dramatic breakthrough(突破)with her powerful performance in Erin Brockovich . In the film, she played the title character--a brave，struggling single mom. ② Based on a true story, Brockovich helped lead the fight against a California power company that destroyed a small town’s water supply. Roberts won several awards for that film, including her first Academy Award.
Since then, Roberts has taken some light—hearted roles，and appeared with George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve. Roberts also made her first Broadway(百老汇)appearance in Three Days of Rain in 2006.
Roberts has been married to cameraman Danny Moder since 2002. In 2004, the couple welcomed twins ---Phinnaeus Walter and Hazel Patricia, and in 2007, their third child, Henry Daniel, was born.
What’s the correct time order of the following films?
1. Ocean’s Twelve     2. Steel Magnolias
3. Michael Collins     4. Pretty Woman

All of the following are films except ______________.

What do we learn about the film Erin Brockovich from the passage?  

Which of the following films did George Clooney star in?  

  If you are having trouble falling asleep, you are in good company. About 65% of Americans said they have sleeping problems a few nights each week, according to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation. Sleeping too little can lead to a higher risk of becoming fat and getting depressed(沮丧的). But before you go to a doctor for advice, it is worth examining your sleeping habits one more time. Some of your favorite evening habits may have something to do with the sleeping problems.
1. Setting a Bright Alarm Clock.
The light of your bright alarm clock can prevent you from falling asleep. You can make your room as dark as possible. Cover the bright numbers with a book or consider buying a small travel clock. Your cellphone alarm may also do the trick.
2. Counting Sheep
When you just can't fall asleep, it's useless to stay in bed to count sheep. If you've been trying to fall asleep for more than 30 minutes, the National Sleep Foundation suggests you get up to do some reading or watch TV for a while. Such activities will make you sleepy. Before you know it, you'll be going back to bed really tired.
3. Exercising Late at Night
Daytime workouts(锻炼) will keep you full of energy for hours. That's why you don't want to exercise within three hours of hitting the sack. Fierce(剧烈的)physical activity raise your body temperature and pumps your energy level-both are bad for a good night's sleep.
What can we learn from the first sentence of the passage?

The underlined part "hitting the sack" in the last paragraph means "______".

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

By writing the passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us _______.

Stamp collecting is easy when you do it as a hobby. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources（来源） for free.
Getting Started
If you have no stamps at all, you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get stared. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like “worldwide stamps” in the searching box. However, even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps, my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many source for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.
Sorting Stamps
Assume (假设) you have some stamps and they are in paper. Before you take them from the paper, you should sort the stamps for example, by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper, they become easy to bend, crease and tear easily.
Trimming (修剪) Stamps
Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it, even if it appears to be loose enough to do so. First, trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors making sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps. I suggest that you’d better leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp when you trim the paper before you are good at doing it.
This passage is written for people who           .

The writer didn’t mention collecting stamps from a           .

According to the writer, at the very beginning, stamp-collecting beginners shouldn’t           .

What does the writer suggest not do when trimming stamps?

At the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998,Kwan was believed to win gold,but ended up with a disappointing silver medal when fellow US skater Tara Lipinski surprisingly took first place.Shortly before the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002,Kwan,who was then the reigning world champ,surprisingly fired both her choreographer(编舞者）,Lori Nichol,and longtime coach,Frank Carroll.Once again, she failed to get the gold medal when she finished third behind Irina Slutskaya of Russia and US skater Sarah Hughes, who took first.
As a student at the University of California in Los Angeles,Kwan has continued to compete since her defeat(战败）in Salt Lake City.In Febuary 2006, she was unable to take part in the Olympic Games in Torino, Italy because of a serious injury.Though Michelle Kwan did not compete during the 2006--2007 figure skating season; she has turned down an offer to work for NBC Sports and says she is not retiring.

Mr. Templat was a teacher that I will never forget. I truly believe the teen years were the hardest time of my life. At that time, as a girl, I hated it when my parents asked me directly about my problems, making me more comfortable. I also remember many times when Mr. Templat would take me aside and talk to me. He had a special way of drawing out what the problem was. Every time he talked with me, I felt better.
He had a way of making his classes enjoyable. We always got the highest marks in math in our grade with his teaching. If there was a big world ball game on the radio, we would drop everything and he would put the name on so we could all enjoy it. That’s just the way he is.
Teens often hear things on TV or from adults about world problems that can frighten them. Now it is terrorism（恐怖主义）. Back in my teen years, it was the cold war. It worried me so much that I thought each day would be my last. Mr. Templat knew how much it troubled his students. He opened the subject up to discussion. He gave us a way to express our greatest fears and helped us understand war and politics. “One can feel afraid however brave he is.” We were told.
When I think back to those special days, I appreciate that he helped me through such a difficult time in my life.
To learn about the problems the writers had, Mr Templat would _________________.

From the second paragraph, we learn that __________________.

What does the underlined part “the subject” in the third paragraph most probably refer to?

Last year,I lived in Chile(智利) for half a year last year. I lived with a Chilean family and had to do the same things as any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there,I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets,and there was no downtown(商业区),few good streets,and little to do for fun. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms happened quite often.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile,I was not able to communicate and I needed a person to whom I could explain my shock.But I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many. Most exchange students experience this like me.And I had to deal with all the difficulties on my own.
However, as time passé, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and started to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not buying expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy in school.
What I lost was nothing compared to what I acquired. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
What is this passage mainly about?

  How to say hello in Japanese depends on when you say it. This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting. We don’t get formal with our close friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning” or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.
Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konniqiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. Perhaps it is not the most suitable word for it. Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konniqiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon”, and I am sure you wouldn’t like to greet people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konniqiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.
So what to do? Let’s do it in the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gozaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konniqiwa” when it’s noon and “Konbanwa”to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things differ when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. It is invariably the sweet old “Hello”.
Next time, I’ll tell something about my life in Japan.
What is the best title for this passage?

Theangelshavefinallybeenconnected together and the bows have all been carefully fixed across the branches.After three months of hard work, 16-year-old Suzy Jordan’s tree is finally appearing at the yearly Festival of Trees in honor of her best friend, Emily Austin.
“All that’s needed now is a real angel,”says Suzy,”to help 13-year-old Emily recover from a recent bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植)and finally remove the leukemia(白血病)”
“Emily is the strongest person I know.There’s always such brightness about her,”says Suzy,a student ar Orem High School.
Last year,when Emily’s cancer was in remission,she helped Suzy and other students decorate a red-and-white Christmas tree for Primary Children’s Medical Center at the Festival of Trees.
“It was so much fun for her,”says Emily’s mother, Laurie,”she’s seen the inside of the hospital more than a school since she was 5”.
But the good conditions didn’t last long.In August, Suzy learned that her friend’s leukemia returned, becoming worse.And she knew exactly what to do show her support.
“Emily was so excited about helping out with the festival tree last year that I decided to surprise her by giving away a tree of my own,”she says.
Because of being in hospital, Emily won’t be able to see the tree.”But I’m taking pictures to surprise her,”says Suzy.”I want her to know that she’ll always be an angel to me.”
Suzy’s tree has given Emily’s family hope for a miracle(奇迹).”It has given Emily hope that she has a chance to be a normal girl and do all the things other girls do,”says Laurie Austin.
Suzy’s greatest hope is that she’ll be able to give away more trees to the festival, with one big difference.”The best wish of all,”she says,”is that Emily will be there with me, putting on the decoration.”

On a cold evening of April our ship was sailing for Ireland. Suddenly a violent storm rose and overturned our ship. Fortunately I held a board and was washed up on an island.
It was completely dark. On reaching the island，I found a smooth place to lie down. Quite tired I slept for a long time. I woke up with a start when I was dazzled (使目眩) by glaring sunlight. How I felt hungry and thirsty！The island with its beautiful landscape at dawn appeared before my eyes.
I began to explore the island. It was an uninhabited island surrounded by trees. Yellow fruits on the trees made me feel hungry. I tasted one. How sweet and delicious it was！I ate greedily a lot then I lay down comfortably on the soft grass. Around me were fragrance (芳香) and singing of birds. There, far away, on the right, a waterfall was falling down the mountainside. I rushed toward it. In the afternoon when I was wandering around the island, I happened to find out a cave hidden behind the thick forest. It was convenient for me to turn it into a place for sleeping for the night.
Day in day out,nearly two weeks passed by. My food was mere fruit and some fish caught from the stream. Sometimes I tried to hunt some wild animals but in vain. Had I been equipped with necessary things，I would have enjoyed remaining here for food.
One morning I caught sight of a boat. I signaled and shouted loudly. I was rescued but so far I have had the memories of a fairy land which I had once happened to discover!
What did the author do first after he was washed up on the island?

The author wrote his experience in a ________ tone.

Many English students did not realize that phrases such as “get off of” and “she was stood” were grammatically incorrect. It’s feared that the use of social networking websites and mobile phone text messaging is damaging children’s literacy(读写) skills.
Ministers have also complained that many young people spend too much time playing video games and watching TV instead of reading books.In the lastest study,Cambridge Assessment,one of the country’s biggest examination organizations,surveyed more than 2,000teenagers in 26 English secondary schools.
They were presented with various phrases and asked to mark out those with non-standard English. Only 41 percent realized that an adjective had been used in place of an adverb in the phrase “come quick”.
Fewer than six-in-ten pupils correctly identified “get off of” and “she was stood” as ungrammatical. Around a quarter of students failed to spot errors in the phrases “ it wasn’t me who done it” , “ couldn’t hardly move”, “Tom had gotten cold” and “three mile”. At least a fifth failed to recognize that “more easier” was incorrect. And most one-in-ten students failed to spot the use of a double negative in the phrase “I didn’t break no vase”
Ian McNeilly,from the National Association for the Teaching of English, told the Times Educational Supplement, “For a lot of people—not just young people—their daily use of English is in new media,where non-standerd grammatical constuctions are more acceptable.That’s unavoidably going to lead to an increased lack of awareness of more standard constructions.”
Dr Beth Black,author of the latest report,said,”It is possible that these less well-recognized nonstandard English forms will find their way into standard English,especially given the view that teenagers are linguistic innovators(语言创新者) who bring about change in standard dialect”.
According to the first paragraph, what do people worry about?

From the result of the survey, about 10 percent of the students failed to___.

According to Ian McNeilly, which of the following caused the spread of non-standard grammer?

From the last paragraph, we can infer that___.

Among growing concerns about rising food prices and global warming, many Americans are taking a closer look at what they do and don’t eat.
Research in the US estimates that at least 14 percent of purchased food ends up in the garbage.Some way view this as a call to return to the”clean your plate” atiitude, which was popularized in the mid-twentieth century, but this would be unwise.With a rising overweight population and a growing national health crisis, it’s time for a new approach.Instead,we should view these figures as motivation to reduce waste,cut grocery costs and maintain our health by shopping and eating smarter.
Food waste reportedly makes up about 12 percent of waste material.Aside from the costly operation budgets of the equipment,the environment is paying the real price.As organic material(like vegetables,fruits and grains)decompose in the garbage,they release the greenhouse gas methane(甲烷)into the environment.
In fact,garbage is the largest source of methane emissions(散发)in the US.While composting plant food, which does not produce methane,is one solution,strategies for wasting less food shoule also be explored.
According to a survey in the UK,one major source of food waste is “over shopping”.Buying more food than we need is easy to do when we shop without a list or when “buy one,get one free”offers tempt us to put food that will often go to waste into our shopping baskets.
The solution: shop smarter.Check your refrigerator to see what needs to be used or frozen before it becomes bad.Check your calendar to see if there are meals that you know you will be eating away from home.
Before you go to the store,decide how many days worth of food you need.Then ,take a few minutes to prepare a shopping list.Don’t make things different—no need to decide what will be served each day—just plan enough breakfast,lunch and dinner meals to last until your next grocery run.
How does food waste influence the environment?

How many solutions are mentioned to solve the food garbage problem?

What can we know according to Paragraph 5?

The purpose of writing this passage is to ___.

Babies as young as 5months can distinguish a happy tune, such as Ode to Joy, from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony,from sad tunes.
Researchers showed an emotionally-neutral(中立的)face to the babies while sad music played.When the babies looked away from the face, the music stopped Ode to Joy played, the babies stared at the face three to four seconds longer, suggesting they were interested in the change.
By nine months old, babies can do the opposite.
The finding is another example of how babies make sense of the world long before they can talk, said Brigham Young University psychology professor Ross Flom.
“One of the first things babies understand communicatively is emotion,so for them the melody(旋律)is the message,”Flom said. “Our study showed that by nine months, babies are classifying songs as happy or sad the same way that adults do”
So what makes a happy song?
BYU music professor Susan Kenney, who was not involved in the study, noted some of the technical difference between the happy and sad songs the babies heard.
“The happy songs were all in major keys with fairly short phrases or motives that repeated,”Kenney said, “The tempo(节拍)and melodic rhythms were faster than any of the sad ones,and the molodies had a general upward direction.The sad songs were in minor keys and all had a slower beat and long melodic rhythms.For a baby to notice those differences is interesting and attractive.”
The phrase “the opposite”in Paragraph 3 refers to “___”.

This musical study shows that___.

How do babies distinguish different tunes according to Kenny?

Which section of a newspaper does this passage probably belong to?

Poor parenting is to blame for a major deterioration（变坏） in the behavior of primary school pupils over the past five years,a study suggests.
Classroom disorder is a big problem for teachers, according to researchers ar Cambridge University.In interview with teachers, Professors Maurice Galton and John Macbeath found that many blamed their pupils’ bad behavior on the inability of parents to control children at home.
Many pupils lacked the social skills required to get on in class, said the researchers. “The teachers describe ‘highly permissive’ parents who admitted to indulging(纵容) their children,often for the sake of peace,” the author added.
Examples included a mother who,after great effort,succeeded in getting her five-year-old son to bed at 1 am instead of 3 am,and a boy of seven who broke his Sony PlayStation in a tantrum(发脾气),and then would not behave for a week until his mother bought him a new one.
Professors Galton and Macbeath were also told of parents who would do anything to shut their children up”just to get some peace”.
The researchers,who visited schools they studied five years ago,added,”There appeared to have been a bad influence on school life from a rapidly changing social scene”
“Motivating certain children, it was claimed, had become more difficult because by the time they came to school many of these children had become expert in dealing with adults.”
According to Galton and Macbeath, the top five difficulties to teaching are poor pupil behavior, lack of time for reflection, large class sizes, too many initatives and an overloaded curriculum. “Children arrive at school knowing too much and not enough.”They said.
According to many teachers, some students behave badly at school because___.

Why are some parents highly permissive according to the passage?

Candy corn is one of the simple pleasures of Halloween. Around since the 1880s, these white, yellow and orange striped candies are made with sugar, corn syrup（糖浆）and other ingredients.
Of course, you can enjoy candy corn by the handful. But we came up with 5 fun ways to celebrate and enjoy this seasonal treat.
Fill your sugar bowl with candy corn. Use spoonfuls of the colorful candies to sweeten your coffee, tea or other hot drinks. The sugary candies will dissolve（溶解）in the hot liquid.
Make ice cream sandwiches perfect for Halloween by decorating the creamy edges with candy corn. Purchase ready-made ice cream sandwiches and roll the edges in a plateful of the corn. Or make your own by first spooning your favorite flavor of softened ice cream between two sugar cookies or chocolate cookies. Roll the ice cream side in candy corn. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and freeze at least 6 hours until firm. Let stand about 10 minutes before eating.
Use them as decoration on the chocolate icing atop a cake, cupcakes or brownies (the colors look great against brown).
Make a seasonal party mix by combining 4 cups cereal（麦片）and 1/3 cup melted butter. Toss（拌）to coat. Add 1 cup raisins, 1 cup candy corn and 1 (12-ounce) jar dry-roasted peanuts. Toss to mix. Store in an airtight（密封的）container.
Make attractive candy corn cookies. Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe, roll it out, cut the dough with about a 1 1/2-inch triangular cookie cutter and bake then cool. Then using a fondant（软糖）rolling pin, roll out yellow fondant on paper until it is 1/8-inch thick. Cut the fondant into 1/2-inch-thick strips and set aside. Repeat with white and orange fondants. Place the strips side by side on the paper and roll until the strips become one piece. Cut out a candy corn shape from the fondant sheet with your triangular cutter. Press light corn syrup on the top of your cookies and place fondant sheets on the cookies. Let dry at least 1 hour.

Gregory Anderson, a specialist on endangered languages, once said, "Language is in many ways a window to the mind. What these languages contain are all kinds of ways that we organize the world. Languages reflect a different historical contact with other groups. And, for people who have no written history, language can be one of the ways to get the history just by looking carefully at the different parts in the language."
However, over half of the world's seven thousand languages are in danger of disappearing, and every two weeks one language disappears. One of the most endangered languages is called Siletz Dee-ni, a language from the northwestern part of the United States.
It was spoken on the Siletz reservation (居留地), where the tribe lives on a protected area within the state of Oregon. The reservation was created in the 19th century to hold people from 27 different native groups. The groups spoke different languages, so they developed Chinook Jargon. With its increased use as well as the use of English, the number of people speaking their native languages became smaller. Today, only one person on the reservation speaks Siletz Dee-ni.
Bringing back endangered languages is not easy, but it is very important. One example of this is taking place in the American state of Hawaii. Hawaii became a part of the United States in 1898. English became the official language of Hawaii. Slowly, fewer and fewer young natives learned to speak Hawaiian fluently. The language began to disappear.
In 1986, fewer than fifty children in Hawaii could speak their native language. That same year, the language ban (禁令) was removed because of strong disagreements from native groups. The Hawaiian language began to be taught again in schools. Today, about 2,000 children speak Hawaiian. Also, families now speak Hawaiian with their children at home. Anyway, it is up to the children to keep the language alive.
The author wrote the first paragraph to ________.

The underlined part "Chinook Jargon" in the third paragraph must be ________.

After Hawaii became an American state, ________.

From the last paragraph we can infer that _________.

Homework can put you in a bad mood, but that might actually be a good thing.New research suggests that, in some cases, being too happy can hurt your performance on certain kinds of tasks.To test whether it is true, researchers performed two learning experiments with children.
The first experiment included 30 children, aged 10 and 11.Each child was given 20 problems in which a houselike shape was hidden inside a different, larger image.The children had to find the small shape while sitting in a room.Either positive or sad classical music was played in the background.
As a measure of mood,the scientists asked the children to point to ont of five faces,ranging from happy to sad.Children listening to the positive music tended to point to the smiling faces.Children surrounded by sad music pointed instead to the frowns(皱眉).The researchers found that sad children took at least to find the small shapes and also correctly found on average three or four more shapes.
In the second experiment,61 children,aged 6 and 7,faced the same type of problems.They watched one of three scenes.One scene was happy.One was neutral(中立的).One was sad.And just like in the first experiment; kids who felt sad or neutral performed better on the tests.They solved on average two or three more problems.
The researchers think that feeling down causes people more likely to fix their attention on a problem or difficult situation.However, other studies suggest that people who feel happy are better able to fix their attention on details.Some researchers insist that the new studies have flaws.It’s possible that the lively music in the first experiment took children’s attention away from their task of finding shapes.
While scientists continue to work on finding the answers,it will might be worth adapting your tasks for your mood.
What did the researchers want to find out the experiments?

What did the two experiments have in common?

Through the two experiments, researchers think that sadness cause people to___.

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. __________ They are always a symbol whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. __________ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in hisbrother's dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. __________ when he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. __________.
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. __________ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.
F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
