    The research found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more likely to believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were also more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
    Women were also more likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses offered.
    In contrast, men were likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and “laziness”, and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
    Generally, people think that women’s success comes from more emphasis on coursework, but the research showed that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
    Dr Smith said, “ Most women feel that getting grades is the most important part of university life. They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated environment they will encounter at work. Good grades are viewed as an ‘insurance policy’ for success. Men, on the other hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work.
    “ This research shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the value of higher education,” he said.
    70. What is the main purpose of the research? (Please answer within 15 words.)
    71. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
    Men would play rather than academic work. (Please answer within 12 words.)

    It’s strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life. Jacob seems like a normal person. He likes music, art and photography. His parents both got college degrees. He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer. He is a big fan of Mexican food. Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood. However, behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up.
    It started when he was only two years old. His parents divorced and then remarried. Going through elementary school and middle school, he was frightened a lot. This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man.
    He developed deep depression. Doing the smart thing, he talked to his parents about his problem. His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital. He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed. Serious insomnia caused the problem.
    The solution was daily medication. The medication took care of Jacob’s depression problem. However, it contained a substance with lithium(锂). The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate. This led to a weight gain of 25 pounds while he was on medication. So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication.
    Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school. Now he is a happy human being.
    Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression. Many people probably would have given up their dreams. But Jacob is not like this. He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future.
    小题1:When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage? (no more than 3 words)   (2 marks)
    小题2:Why did Jacob suffer from deep depression? (no more than 4 words)   (2 marks)
    小题3:How did Jacob gain the weight of 25 pounds while on medication? ( no more than 5 words) (3 marks)
    小题4:What can we know from Jacob’s story? (no more than 10 words)   (3 marks)

    阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
    Your children are so different-they each have very different talents, skills, and personalities, so it can seem natural to give them labels（标签）. For example, one child may be the “smart one” or the “artist” or the “troublemaker”. Although it is easy to                    , you can be hard for your children.
    Downsides of Labels
    When kids are given negative（消极） labels they often feel that parents don’t expect or want them to change, and they may feel that they should live up to their negative labels. For example:
    The “messy child” may see no reason to try to be neat and tidy when his parents have already defined his role in the family.
    The “troublemaker” may feel that any attempt to be good will be ignored.
    The “wild child” may think that he or she might as well continue to do crazy things
    because parents expect it.
    Even positive labels can be problematic as children may feel uneasy to meet their parents’ expectations, and often feel uncomfortable that their parents seem to like them more than a brother or sister.
    Avoiding Labels
    Remember that each child is unique and has the ability to do many things and act in many different ways.
    Focus on the positives. For example, if your child, who always seems to be running late, but gets to the dinner on time, be sure to praise him for being on time.
    Don’t let children lock themselves into roles-encourage children to try things they are interested in.

    小题3: Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
    Avoid focusing children on some particular things only, you’d better encourage them
    to do all that they fancy doing.

    阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）
    Some expressions have made a jump from sports events to everyday life. One such expression is fall guy. A fall guy is the person who someone decides will be the loser or victim.
    The first fall guys were men who wrestled for money. At the end of the 19th century, wrestling was a very popular sport in the United States. Wrestling competitions were held not only in big cities but also at country fairs and traveling shows. As wrestling gained in popularity, it became less like a sport because the winners of the matches were arranged in advance. The wrestlers knew -----before the match ----- which one of them would be the winner.
    The goal in wrestling is to hold the shoulders of your opponent down against the floor. This is called a fall. Sometimes, one of the wrestlers would be paid before the match to take the fall. He would agree ____________ ---the fall guy.
    Today, a fall guy is anyone who is tricked into taking the blame for the crime or wrongdoing of someone else. There are fall guys in many situations --- people who publicly take the blame when something goes wrong.
    A fall guy takes the rap for something wrong or illegal. He accepts responsibility and punishment for what someone else did. He may have something to do with the situation, but is not the person who should be blamed.
    The word rap has meant blame for several hundred years. The expression to take the rap was first used about one hundred years ago. Another similar expression is bum rap. A person receives a bum rap if he is found guilty of a crime but is really innocent.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

    ________________________________________________________________________
    小题3:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (within 5 words)
    ___________________________________________________________________________
    小题4:What does it mean if someone receives a bum rap? (within 15 words)

    Scientists believe that conditions on Mars around 3.8 billion years ago were very similar to those of the early earth, when primitive organisms were spreading through our oceans. At that time, Mars would have been much warmer and wetter than it is today, with an atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, just like that of the earth at the time. Under these conditions, it is highly probable that life may have arisen on Mars as well.
    But, even if life did not arise naturally on Mars, it does not mean that it could not have existed there. According to Professor Paul Davies of the University of Adelaide, Australia, life forms could have been transferred between the earth and Mars in wreckage (broke pieces) created by the impact of comet(彗星) and small planets on the surface of the two planets.
    Even today, about 500 tons of material from Mars lands on earth every year. It is mainly in the form of the dust but occasionally a larger chunk(厚片，大块) strikes the earth. In 1911, a piece of Martian rock crashed in Egypt, killing a dog. According to Professor Davies, it is in these chunks of rock, which were much larger and more frequent in the past that life forms could have been transported from planet to planet.
    “But how could these life forms have survived their journey through space?” says Paul Davies, “The difficulty in believing this theory is that a bacterium on its own in space has to struggle itself not only against cold but also against deadly cosmic (宇宙的) radiation. But wrapped in a rock the situation is different. A rock ten meters across would shield life inside it from a lot of radiation and the temperature might only be minus 10 or 20 degrees, the sort of thing we have on earth.”
    小题1: Where do some scientists suppose life probably come from? (2’) (No more than 6 words)
    小题2:What does Professor Paul Davies believe? (2’) (No more than 6 words)
    小题3: Why could life survive when transferred from one planet to another? (3’) (No more than 12 words)
    小题4: List at least two differences about Mars between the past and now. (3’) (No more than 16 words)

    Do you want to work with people or animals or machines or tools? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? These are the typical questions that a volunteer service agency would ask.
    Every year, thousands and thousands of people in the west offer volunteer services. Volunteering greatly strengthens the community partly because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the injured to overcome difficulties.
    Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church, counsel kids against drugs. Work as an assistant in a school or nursing home, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things.
    Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month, time during the day, evenings or weekends, either part time or full time. Anybody __________ can become a volunteer.
    The art of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people and make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an excellent way to experiment, practice and try out new techniques and skills. It is much more effective to practice a skill than to read about it or study it in a classroom. Volunteering is a great way to develop good teamwork skills, discover your individual talents and explore career choices. Being a volunteer takes individuals on a wonderful journey and helps them learn many important things beyond their school.

    _______________________________________________________________________77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

    [1]It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.
    [2]A lack of sleep among youngsters may trigger depression and suicidal thoughts, according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.
    [3]"Our results are consistent with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working with other risk and protective factors through multiple possible causal ways to the development of this mood disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.
    [4]"Adequate quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against depression and a treatment for depression," he added in the study published in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.
    [5]The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and found those who consistently turned in after midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who                     before 10:00 pm. Night owls also ran a 20 percent higher risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.
    [6]The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept on average about eight hours and 10 minutes. But that amount of sleep dropped significantly for those in bed after midnight.
    [7]And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more likely to suffer depression and 48 percent more at risk of becoming suicidal, the study said.
    [8]"It is a common perception and societal expectation that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-adolescents. Yet studies suggest that adolescents may actually require more sleep." said Gangwisch.
    [9]"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed early enough to make up for earlier school start time. And transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be associated with significant sleep deprivation."
    76. What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 8 words)
    77. What theory are the study results similar to? (Please answer within 20 words)
    78. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (Please answer within 6 words)
    79. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
    It’s widely accepted that the youngsters needn’t sleep as much as the child.
    80. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 9 into Chinese.
