China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent (流行) with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way（资本主义消费模式）. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called “the moon-light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born into wealth, who have received a high education, and who appreciate fast food culture. 答案：中国经济的高速发展，带来了消费文化的日益流行，同时也催生了一批具有高学历，充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人，他们习惯于当月工资当月花。因而被称为“月光族”。“月光族”一词出现于20世纪90年代后期，是用来讽刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化的年轻人。

Passage 1 Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India should remember it is impolite there to use the left hand for passing food at the table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a side-to-side movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show \—a nod shows \Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting.

Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing(使?最大化) my study efforts： 1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic(学术的) knowledge? Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate(成比例的) amounts of time to those efforts. 2. Plan ahead. You may think you can keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks. 3.Study at strategic (关键的) times. Don’t wait until you’re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e-mails to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and attention can still be done when you’re tired. 4.Motivate (激励) yourself! You know that TV show you’ve been dying to see, or that game of chess you’ve been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. These and many other special activities can be used for motivation.
Promise yourself that you’ll force yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush through the assignment, though.) 5. Take a nap. Sometimes even a 20-minute nap in the afternoon will give you the extra energy you need to get through the day. 1. We need to play ahead in order to ________. A. keep a record of all the events B. better organize our activities C. store everything in our head D. pile up little tasks neatly 2. Strategic times are best for

Remembering our urgent tasks. B. Any activities we’re eager to do. C. Taking a break in the afternoon. D. The promise to study efficiently. 4. What can help us to keep refreshed throughout the day?

Which of the following could be the best title for this article? A. Study Habits and Time Management B. Business Management and Leadership C. University Education and Campus Life D. Life Goals and Academic Development Passage 3 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, and an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up — we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Color
does influence our moods (情绪) ― there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. 1. The author regards the psychologists’ findings as _____. A. groundless B. doubtful C. reasonable D. unusual 2. According to the psychologists, a person’s color preference _____. A. is formed as he grows up B. is acquired through experience C. is decided by his surroundings D. is possessed from birth 3. It
can be concluded from the passage that bright color lovers tend to be _____. A. quiet B. active C. depressive D. pessimistic 4. The example of the bridge is used to illustrate that _____. A. people tend to kill themselves by jumping from bridges B. color can affect people’s moods to a great degree C. the bridge should have been repainted earlier D. certain color can kill people sometimes 5. The notion that machines painted orange can reduce the risk of accidents ______. A. is a well-accepted fact B. remains to be proved C. is an illusion of workers D. is a good wish of scientists CDBBA 【隐藏教师释疑】 释疑：【passage1：| ACBDA|passage2:BCBBA |passage3:CDBBA 】 翻译（15分）
It is obvious that television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of pleasure, but also a quite cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with so many interesting programs available, than to go out for something else. There is no transport to arrange. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, or the like, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is to turn a knob, and they can see plays and shows of every kind, not to mention the latest current events. Some people, however, maintain that this is just where the danger lies. Those who watch television need do noting. They are completely passive and have everything presented to them without any effort on their part. 答案：很清楚，电视有利也有弊。首先，电视不仅是一种方便的娱乐之源，而且价格也十分便宜。比如，一个四口之家，足不出户，就能舒舒服服地看到许多有趣的节目，这要比外出消遣方便得多，便宜得多；不用安排交通工具，他们也不用去买很贵的戏票之类而结果或许看到的是令人失望的节目。他们只要拧一下旋扭，就能看到各种戏剧和表演，更不用说最新的新闻节目了。然而有些人坚持说，这正是危害之所在：看电视的人无须做任何事情，他们完全处在被动的地位，不费任何气力，节目就出现在眼前。 【隐藏教师释疑】 释疑：【很清楚|娱乐之源|足不出户|外出消遣|被动的地位 】 阅读理解3（30分）
Passage 1 Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be. 1. The passage really wants to tell us that ________. A) what the meaning of “patriots” is B) the qualities a good youth should have C) a youth should be doing good D) one should help others 2. The first thing a good youth should have is A) the best looking B)the best riches C) the good ability D)a healthy body 3. A good youth should help others A) willingly B) at his convenience C) if he wants to D) with complains 4. From the passage, we can know that cooperation and communication are A) good for some introverts B) helpful to us C) important to everyone D) not necessary to good friends 5. In the author's opinion, the patriots must A) fight for the country B) learn everything C) do what their country need them to do D)protect their family and country Passage 2 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for
fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 1. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week. A) 36 B) 12 C) 20 D) 15 2. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______. A) to live in a different university B) to take a particular course in a different university C) to live at home and drive to classes D) to get two degrees from two different universities 3.

A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university C) such positions help them get better jobs D) such positions are usually well paid 5. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________. A) dealing with the academic affairs of the university B) ensuring that the students observe university regulations C) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court D) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities Passage 3 What are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four. The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world. The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all. 26.
