     More and more foreigners like to come to China．Last Friday，our school was invited a foreign teacher in our city give a class to the students of Senior Grade Two．We found his class interested．I learned a lot from him．The teacher had a free talk with us with easy English．He spoke slow so that we could understand him well．Sometimes he repeated what we didn't understand．My classmates were all active in class．To his joy，I understand everything the teacher said．And I was able to answer question in English．This class encouraged me very much．I'm sure that until we keep on practising，it will be  easy for us to learn speaking English well．

8．re you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix？
In 1969，the pollution was terrible along the Guyahoga River near Cleveland，Ohio．It（61）was（be）unimaginable that it could never be cleaned up．The river was so polluted that it（62）actually （ctual） caught fire and burned．Now，years later，this river is one of （63）the most understanding examples of environmental cleanup．
But the river wasn't changed in a few days （64）or even a few months．It took years of work 
（65）toreduce （reduce） the industrial pollution and clean the water．Finally，that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is （66）cleaner（clean） than ever．
May be you are facing an impossible situation．Maybe you have a habit （67）that/whichis drivi ng your family crazy．Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use．When you face such an impossible situation，don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately？
While there are （68）amazing（amaze） stories of instant transformation，for most of us the （69）changes（change） are gradual and require a lot of effort and work，like cleaning up a polluted river．Just be （70）patient（patience）．

7．There's plenty of advice out there about what to do to get to sleep but what about what not to do？Pay attention to the following pre-bedtime activities．（36）F．
Exercise is a vital activity for your health，and can actually contribute to getting better-quality sleep．（37）D．And so it can make falling asleep more difficult．
Studies have shown that too much screen time can impair your body's ability to fall asleep．（38）C．
Like exercise，hot showers and baths can actually help you fall asleep．The problem，however，comes out of taking one too close to the time you plan to go to bed．（39）G．
Caffeine，of course，and alcohol both make it difficult to get a good night's rest．But drinking a lot of any liquid within the last hour or two before you go to bed will lead to late night bathroom breaks，and further disrupt your sleep．You shouldn't go to bed thirsty，however，as you'll likely wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water，（40）A．

A．Balance is key here．
B．Enough sleep is necessary．
C．So close that laptop and turn off that TV about an hour before bed．
D．But exercising within three hours of bedtime can raise your body temperature．
E．Late exercises are better than hot showers．
F．They could be hurting your chance at getting a good night's sleep．
G．Being overheated can bring same affects just like late exercise．

6．All across California，honeybees are flying away from their hives（蜂箱） and dying．Empty hives are causing a lot of worry about some important food crops．
Bees gives us a lot delicious honey．They are pollinators（授粉昆虫）----they enable plants to produce the fruits and nuts we enjoy by carrying pollen from one plant or flower to the next．The wind pollinates oats，corn，and wheat，but many other plants （like apple and cherry trees and melon vines） depend on insects，bat，and birds．In the U．S．，millions and millions of bees kept by human beekeepers fly around doing a lot of this important work for food crops．"Bees are worth protecting because their work adds so much to our diet．"says Dr．Jeff Pettis of the Bee Research Laboratory．
California's almond crop alone depends on about half the bees in the country．But now the almond crop and many others could be in trouble with so many bees dying．
Researchers at government and university labs all over the country are trying to figure out why so many bees are dying．However，bees are hard to study．Most die away from the hive，so researchers don't have dead bodies to examine．And when researchers return to a hive after two weeks，about half the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead，replaced by new ones in the natural life cycle of bees．"It isn't like studying a large animal like a cow that doesn't move around much and is easy to find out in the cow field，"says Pettis．
Researchers have some ideas about what could be affecting bees'health．They could be sick because of poisons widely used to kill insects，or they might not be getting enough good food to stay strong．Also，tiny insects called mites feed on bees．"A virus or bacteria could also be doing the killing，"explains Pettis．
32．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？B
A．The wind helps pollinate．
B．Bees are important for food crops．
C．Bees give us a lot of delicious honey．
D．Cherry trees are pollinated by bees．
33．Bees are hard to study becauseA．

D．they never return to hives．
34．What could cause so many bees to die？D
A．Poisons to kill birds．
B．Eating too much．
C．Large insects．
D．Some virus．
35．What can we learn from the article？B
A．A large number of bees have died in the hive．
B．Without bees，some food would disappear from our diet．
C．Only researchers in California want to know what kills bees．
D．Large animals are mo re difficult to study than tiny insects．

5．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺骗）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
     For example，someone might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!He didn't'say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
     Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents says，"During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would have been，"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
     Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
     This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
28．We may infer that the author believes people shouldC．
A．buy lottery tickets if possible．
B．m ake use of half-truths．

31．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage？B
A．He's really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．
D．It's against the law to make false statements．

4．A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legib ility（清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professor said．
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．
The researcher's report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．
 
24．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they canA．
A．write more notes                         
B．digest concepts better．
C．get higher scores

B．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C．explain the process of taking notes
D．promote the use of lap tops．
27．The passage is likely to appear inC．

1．I'm Anne．I lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II．I was from a（71）Jewish（Jew） family，so we had to hide away in order not （72）to be caught（catch） by the German Nazis．During that time it was because I hadn't been able to go （73）outdoors（outdoor） for so long （74）thatI grew so crazy about everything to do （75）with nature．I can still remember there was a time （76）when a deep blue sky，moonlight and flowers could never have kept me （77）spellbound（spellbind）．That's changed since I came here．Once，I stayed （78）awake（wake） on purpose until half past eleven．I decided to look at the moon at midnight by（79）myself（me）．But I didn't dare to open the window to see the night face to face because I was afraid of being discovered by the Nazis．It's no （80）pleasure（please） looking through dirty curtains any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced．

20．Maybe you know floods（洪水），droughts（干旱），earthquakes，sandstorms and so on．But have you ever heard of typhoons？
Typhoons are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July，August and September．
How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer  sun，it evaporates（蒸发掉） into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then，cooler air around it rushes in． It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second，a typhoon begins．
A typhoon has two parts．One is called the"eye"．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are．
Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004，Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang，and 24 people were missing．In May 2006，Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian，and thousands of houses were damaged．
What to do when a typhoon hits
Stay inside．Close all the windows and stay away from them．
Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
Listen to the radio or TV for important information．
If you're told to go to a safer place，do so right away．
