阅读理解。     Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to
graduate, yet with loans (贷款) to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project
to battle their debt. The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk. last
October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project
was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they
advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand"s logo (商标) or name on their faces
and including a link to the company"s site. After they paint their faces and publish them on the site,
Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to
maximize their faces" exposure.
     At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping
a day and they"re more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of
about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising
space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750.
     Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had
heard of people tattooing (纹身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According
to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it
would last.
     At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse"s faces have written positive
comments on the pair"s website. "We had a three percent increase in website traffic (流量) on the
very day and for two days more afterwards," said an alcoholic beverage company.1. Which of the following was most possibly taken from the website BuyMyFace.co.uk.?A.

2. At BuyMyFace.co.uk, you can _____ of the company being advertised for.A. click to enter the website
B. download product pictures
C. get in touch with the staff
D. read a brief introduction3. Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to _____.A. have fun
B. make friends
C. show their faces
D. find new customers 4. We can infer from the article that the two men _____.A. must have earned more than $40,000
B. aren"t getting on well with their project
C. may close their site next month
D. always work hard except on holidays5. The men"s idea of advertising has proved to work because _____.A. many people visit their website
B. their faces have become well-known
C. their customers get more attention
D. an expert has highly praised them

阅读下面短文并回答问题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)。[1] You"ve known your best friend for many years and shared many precious moments together, they
have always been there for you and have been your rock to lean on when you were down. Now
someone is making you send them away, and you may never see them again. How do you feel?
[2] This is how many Harbin citizens are currently feeling as a new policy has recently been passed
banning large dogs from being kept in urban areas. Sadly then, all current owners have to _________
_________. Understandably this is heartbreaking.
[3] The animals are being forced away from the city under the banner(旗号) of public safety and
cleanliness. It"s understandable that city officials want to create a safe and clean environment for the
people of Harbin, but is the ban reasonable? Are big dogs that much of a danger and dirtier than
smaller dogs? I can understand the cleanliness issue: there"s nothing worse than walking in dog wastes
and having to clean it off your shoes. It"s disgusting! But smaller dogs create just as much mess, so
the problem will still be lying around.
[4] Cities in other countries have no policies dictating what kind of dog one can own. But their streets
are still clean and people aren"t getting chased around by crazy dogs. Dog owners should be educated
properly in how to look after their animals and be punished for breaking the laws. The dog doesn"t
break the law by using the sidewalk as a toilet; the owner does for not cleaning afterwards. Maybe
more severe punishments for the few offending owners will be a better solution, because many dog
owners do clean up after their animals.

阅读理解。     In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child"s acquisition of each new
skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing.
It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up
dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage.
A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn
to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a
child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm
for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
     Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be
especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night or
punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and
the values of the community as much as the child"s own happiness.
     As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very
important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation
for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they
are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教),their children may grow confused
and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they
have been to some extent fooled.
     A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles and their
morals can be a dangerous disappointment.1. Eagerly watching the child"s acquisition of new skills         .A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make him lose interest in learning new things2. In the process of children"s learning new skills parents          .A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B. should not expect too much of them
C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that         .A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation.4. The underlined word"precept" in Para.3 probably means"         "A. idea
B. punishment
C. behaviour
D. instruction5. In moral matters, parents should         .A. observe the rules themselves
B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D. consistently ensure the security of their children

阅读理解。     A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for
what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to
business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well,
from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art ,theatre, and
music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely,
never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one
piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next.
A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more
than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its
topicality (时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality
now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what
appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no
two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the
pages of that day"s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these
reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without
missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify
and apply the techniques of reading.1. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its         .A. wide coverage
B. uniform style
C. speed in reporting news
D. popularity2. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the"same"newspaper is that         .A. people scan for the news they are interested in
B. different people prefer different newspapers
C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is3. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers         .A. apply reading techniques skillfully
B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D. usually read a newspaper selectively4. A good newspaper offers"a variety"to readers because          .A. it tries to serve different readers
B. it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C. readers are difficult to please
D. readers like to read different newspaper.5. The best title for this passage would be"         "A. The importance of Newspaper Topicality
B. The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
C. The Variety of a Good Newspaper
D. Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper

Organizing Yourself Many new students find it hard to do all the study that has to be done; they find themselves putting off reading assignment, jumping from one subject to another and rarely being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular study session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start studying efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work. Let us suppose that you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40hour working week (a reasonable figure, leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities). You now have to decide how to divide the remaining 25 hours of private study. Naturally the decisions you make will change from week to week according to what essays have to be written and what reading has to be done. Many people find it helpful to draw up each week a sevenday timetable showing the occasions on which they will be working privately and the particular subjects that will be studying on each occasion.By checking such a plan at times during the week, you can see what you have done and what you have still to do：the whole plan becomes more manageable. There are a number of places where you can study college library, public library, home, empty classrooms, on bus or train and each has several obvious advantages and disadvantages.The college library is least busy in the evening, on Wednesday afternoon, and all day Friday and Saturday. When you are deciding where to study, keep the following suggestions in mind: 1. Try to study always in the same place. After a while the familiar surroundings will help you to switch into the right frame of mind as soon as you sit down. 2. Find somewhere with as few distractions as possible. 3. Make sure that your study place has a good light and is warm (but not hot) and well aired.

2. A student"s organization of his work will need to change according to________.
A. how many hours he is awake B. how many subjects are required C. how many lectures he misses D. what he has to write and read that week
3. A student is advised to make a weekly plan and to check it from time to time in order to________.
A. see whether he has calculated it properly B. see what day of the week is C. see what work still needs doing D. see how he feels at the whole week
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a place where you can study?
A. The bus. B. The train. C. Home. D. A public house.
