阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写在横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 Imagine waking up to a world where China is the world"s leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well, this could be reality in 14 years if some of the predictions of 100,000 Britons are correct. The survey asked the people of the UK how they pictured the world in 2025. Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six think the monarchy (君主制度) will have been abolished. A quarter of those surveyed believe a new party will form the government in 2025 although the same number of people think that Labor will be back in power. On the world stage 60 percent think China is set to become the world"s leading superpower, while 30 percent of people think Great Britain will be made up of four selfgoverned countries. Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and bounds. Four percent are optimistic that there will be a permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a colony of humans to be living in space. More than half questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet. Two thirds believe cosmetic surgery(整容手术) will have become common and one in six think we will look after our own health using computers rather than________. But at least we can amuse ourselves with the daily comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more than half think that "celebrity(明星)"will be a registered profession. 1.

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写在横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult. How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not ________, especially English, with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in a large house but never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can"t write, I know as a teacher my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enrich the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day. Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done daily, just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with daily practice. I often see a rise in students" confidence after only a few weeks of journal writing. Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future professional lives. They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of news, or the perfect love letter. 1. What is the author"s purpose of writing the passage? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 2. What is the skill the author teach to improve as one of all students" abilities? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 3. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告).But in the executive circle,beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones;their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus,an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required. This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently,"says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. |
1.The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________". |
A.misfortune B.instability C.disadvantage D.burden |
2.In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________. |
A.reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required B.makes women look more honest and capable C.is of primary importance to women D.often enables women to succeed quickly |
3.Bowman"s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics,attractiveness________. |
A.turns out to be an obstacle to men B.affects men and women alike C.has as little effect on men as on women D.is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women |
4.It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often________. |
A.practical B.prejudiced C.oldfashioned D.pessimistic |
5.The author writes this passage to________. |
A.demand equal rights for women B.emphasize the importance of appearance C.discuss the negative aspects of being attractive D.give advice to jobseekers who are attractive |

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写在横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求). ________________. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways: education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has made it a very different society, in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A person"s age no longer tells you anything about his or her social position, marriage or health. There"s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The_social_clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn"t as strong as it used to be. It doesn"t surprise us to hear of a 29yearold university president or a 35yearold grandmother, or a 70yearold man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age." No one says, " Act your age" any more. We"ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. 1.What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 12 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 2.How do we no longer feel when older people behave as young people? (no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 3.Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence. (no more than 6 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 4.What does "Act your age" mean? (no more than 9 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 5.What do the words "The social clock" (Line 5, Paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________________ |

"In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight." "Two full inches in the first three days!" These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and television ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. |
1.It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________. |
A.objective B.costly C.unreliable D.illegal |
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? |
A.The court is in charge of removing dangerous products. B.New products are more likely to be questionable. C.The production of a device must be approved by FDA. D.The promoters usually just care about profits. |
3.FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________. |
A.if it is a drug B.if it is a device C.if its consumers make complaints D.if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority |
4.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________. |
A.a product which was designed to produce electricity B.a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case C.a successful advertisement of a beauty product D.an example of a quality beauty product |
5.The author intends to________. |
A.make consumers aware of the promoters" false promises B.show the weakness of the law on product safety C.give advice on how to keep young and beautiful D.introduce the organization of FDA |
