阅读理解。     DIY is very popular in China now. Do you know what it is? Yang Chen works for a computer business
in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him for relax after work."For a long time, I had no choice
except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself," he said.
     One day when he saw many toys in a toy shop, he had an idea. "Why not do some kind of things and relax
myself?" Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The thing he has made by
himself doesn"t look as professionally made as those in the shop, but he likes doing it."It is not as much fun
to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops," he said. Now his bookshelves are full of
many kinds of things he has made. They are very beautiful and friends like them very much.
     More and more people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like to do it themselves.
Though making things with our own hands, may take much time, some people, now known as DI Yers...
do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They can make all kinds of things they like.

阅读表达。阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。     Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as
easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
     "I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that"s all. I think many of my classmates
are the same. We wouldn"t know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Zheng Chenyu. "And
I"d forget something important. I"d probably watch television and burn the soup."
     "As soon as I leave home, I"ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We"re very
lazy,"she said.
     Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don"t learn any life skills until they go to
college.
     However, Sima Yige doesn"t think so.
     "I think I"d be all right. I wouldn"t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook, some sim-ple dishes
because my mum showed me," the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many teen-agers depend too much
on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "tidying up your room or even dressing
yourself properly."
    For most teenagers it wouldn"t be a holiday at all. 1. Why would Zheng Chenyu probably burn the soup?

阅读理解。     It"s hard to imagine life without the Internet. How greatly it has changed our lives in the past 15 years
since it was widely used. At the same time, however, the Internet has also caused some traditions to fall
away (消失).
     E-mail is quicker and cheaper. Getting a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare (稀有的)
pleasure.
     Who would like to pay 60 yuan for 12 songs in a plastic case if you can find music in the Interact for
free?
     When almost any fact can be found within seconds through Google and Baidu, personal memory becomes
less important. The Web can remember it for us.
     When was the last time you watched the world out of a window? When was the last time you read a
favorite book once again? When was the last time you sat in the cinema with your family? More and more
people lose themselves in the Internet. They show less interest and spend less time in the outside world.
     You"ve spent the past few years talking with your freinds on QQ, or reading about his or her QQ suqare,
so meeting a freind is no longer as important as it once was.
     Have you ever found yourself doing homework with one eye on a QQ Space window? A growing number
of people say the Internet is stopping young people from fixing their attention on anything for a long time.
     When you surf the Internet, it feels like something you"re enjoying and nobody knows it. But when you

阅读理解。     In many countries, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially when more and
more stars give their children special names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like except
dirty words.
     Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. Because of the film the Lord of the Rings
(指环王), six boys were named Gandalf. Names about sport are very common, too. Since 1984, 36 children
have been called Arsenal after the football team.
     Other parents like to make up names, or combine (合并) two names to make a special one. A mother in
Britain invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter. She combined the names Thea and Amy (the two
grandmothers).
     In China, there are some rules about names ―- you can"t use foreign letters or symbols (符号) in a Chinese
name. For example, parents are not allowed to name their baby @. In New Zealand, a name beginning with a
number is not allowed. Other countries have stricter rules about calling children. For example, Japan,
Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have a list of names. Parents must choose the names in the lists for
their children.
     In Britain, some old-fashioned (过时的) names have become popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl,
and Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are very
traditional--Jack and Thomas for boys, or Grace and Jessica for girls. 1. In Britain, people can"t use ______ words in their children"s names. A. strange
B. popular
C. old-fashioned
D. dirty 2. Thirty-six children were called Arsenal because of a ______. A. movie star
B. football star

阅读理解。     Is the world too crowded? Well, that"s a hard question to answer. It"s all a matter of perspective (视角).
In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000
people live in every square mile!
     What is true is that the world"s population doesn"t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate
(比例). That"s in part because in each generation (代) these are more people who then have children than in
the last generation.
     Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world"s population
was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth
continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now
that"s a whole lot of people! Soon the world"s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry
about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals (相当于) too many
people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to feed,
house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the
earth"s resources. 1. From the first paragraph we can know that _____. A. Montana is too crowded
B. Macao is too crowded
C. the world is too crowded
D. the world is not too crowded 2. The population is increasing fast partly because _____. A. people live longer than before
B. there are less wars than before
C. medicine is developing faster than before

B. About 2 billion.
C. 40 billion.
D. 7 billion. 4. The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should _____. A. find more resources
B. use more resources
C. think about our ways of living
D. move to other places 5. From the passage we can learn that the writer _____. A. thinks the world already has too many people
