    A. True or False (判断下列句子是否符合短文内容.符合的用“T 表示.不符合的用“F 表示): Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures --- those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival . Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 71. People who have looked for adventures like taking dangerous sports and activities. 72. More and more people today are trying activities such as bungee jumping. 73. An immediate excitement from a risky activity sometimes lasts a few minutes. 74. In bungee jumping, you should jump as high as you can. 75. Diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs is less risky than bungee jumping. 76. People like to take part in dangerous sports because their life is probably short of excitement. 77. From the passage, we learnt that the author tried to make people not to take part in bungee jumping. B. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容.选择最恰当的答案): The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is quite different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government’s women’s unite. The biggest problem isn’t equal pay in work places such as factories. It is a sort of work women do. Make a list of low-paid of jobs, then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaner, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies, and child care helpers. Not a lot of men among these groups, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer --- because they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight . But the Government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start. It is not proper to treat women like second-class citizens as we have gone into the 21st Century. 78. Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as men . A) after 25 years B) according to the law C) because of the Equal Pay Act D) because women are as strong as men 79. Women lose the chance of doing the same jobs and earn the same as men because . A) they are women B) they are younger then men C) they are not well educated D) they have children 80. We can learn from the passage what the problem really matters is . A) women don’t have as many chances as men to have jobs B) what an unfair pay women get in work places C) women interrupt a career to have children D) what sort of work women do 81. Which of the following best describes the writer’s idea? A) Women should get equal pay for equal work to that of men. B) Women should learn something new themselves. C) The Government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men. D) Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance. 82. When the writer says “This is not going to be put right overnight , he means . A) we must solve the problem very quickly B) there is not completely fair thing all over the world C) we need a long time to change the situation D) the problem will be solved by the government soon 83. The underlined word “reward in Line 11, Paragraph 3 probably means “ . A) control something for somebody B) give something to somebody C) divide something among somebody D) describe something as somebody 84. Which of the following statements is true? A) 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, a lot of women get paid as much as men. B) Among such professionals as nurses and clerks are a lot of men. C) We should regard the people who work as teachers and nurses poorly. D) The Government should do something to protect women’s rights and interests. C. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文): My father had a strong influence on me during my childhood because he took me to so many 85 . For example, concerts, art galleries and museums. I think he wanted to 86 my artistic sense so that I would like music, art, literature and film. One of my most unforgettable childhood 87 is of the time when my father and I went to the opera when I was ten years old. I didn’t know 88 about opera and worried that I would be bored, 89 I didn’t need to worry about that. While we sat in our seats, the orchestra prepared their music-violins, violas, horns-so much sound mixed like noise 90 each person’s practice before the performance. However, that sound was enough to take me into the music. When the curtain was 91 and the lead singer appeared, I couldn’t close my eyes and I was absorbed in it. That time when I went to the opera with my father remains one of my best childhood memories. 85. A) outings B) places C) vocations D) interests 86. A) develop B) create C) trust D) make 87.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): Subject: Date: From: To: Complaints May 30, 2009 david@ glasgow@ Dear Sir or Madam, Last Thursday, I travelled on the 8:40 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was very unhappy with the service provided by your company. The train was forty minutes late leaving Glasgow, and although the guard apologized, we were not given any reasons for the delay. We then had further delays when the train crew changed at Preston and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my fight from London Heathrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours. What’s more, the service on the train was also very poor. The trip takes over five hours. Unluckily, there was no restaurant car on the train and only a bar with soft drinks. Worst of all, the air conditioning broke down half-way through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train. However, there was no apology for this, and before we reached King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃. I view of the poor service, I feel I am entitled to compensation. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, David Robertson 99. Where did David Roberson get on the train last Thursday? 100.

    True or False. (判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示。)

    Forest Smith is a member of Green First,
    an environmental group.
           Our future on Earth looks very bad. We are
    dumping waste on our land. We can't breathe
    the air. The sea is polluted too.
           I visited some relatives recently in a small
    village. They grow their own food and cycle
    everywhere. They are not wealthy, but they are
    happy and healthy.
           We must close the factories producing
    useless products. That would reduce rubbish and
    air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all
    cars, and improve public transport.
    A big problem is overpopulation in big cities. We
    must give up big cities and factories, and get back
    to a simple way of life.

    		John Green is a scientist at a university.
           Things are not as bad as Forest says. We'll
    have a bright future. We don't need to give
    up cars but we need to invent better, cleaner
    engines. 
           This won't stop the problem of traffic
    jams. So we need better public transport. We
    should also recycle more.
            But some things are getting better. My
    sister returned last month after living abroad for
    five years. She said, "Our old neighbourhood
    doesn't look the same as before-it is cleaner and
    greener now."
            Science has brought many improvements.
    A hundred years ago, most people died in their 40s.
    We can't go back to a life like that.
    (     )1. Three experts were asked to give their views on the pollution problems this week.
    (     )2. The word "views" here probably means people's ideas or opinions.
    (     )3. Both Forest Smith and John Green think they'll have a bright future on the pollution problems.
    (     )4. Forest Smith's view on cars and public transport is the same as John Green's.
    (     )5. Forest Smith visited some relatives and found they lived a rich, happy and healthy life.
    (     )6. John Green's sister said their old neighbourhood looked cleaner and greener than before.
    (     )7. The passage mainly tells us something about different kinds of pollution on the earth.

    True or false (判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示):
          Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
          If you do, you need to take control of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with
    people can cause you to lose friends.
          Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written "My Feelings Just Like Wild Animals" to help
    you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.
          The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better.
          Getting angry is not a natural way to act, the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking.
          The book says you can control your anger (怒气) easily?－all you have to do is tell yourself not to be angry.
          When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it.
          Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.
          The book gives many tips(提示) to help you if you get angry easily. Here are our top three:
          1. Keep a record. Every time you get angry write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see
    you get angry too easily.
          2. Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
          3. Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try
    to laugh!
    (     ) 1. Getting angry with people can cause you to lose friends.
    (     ) 2. The book "My Feelings Just Like Wild Animals" can help you make more friends.
    (     ) 3. The book says you can control your anger easily by telling yourself not to be angry.
    (     ) 4. If you fall over, you should get angry.
    (     ) 5. Keeping a record can help you learn from your past experience and control your anger.
