It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒體） bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
【小題1】 From the passage we know that________.

A．56% of the Chinese write blogs
B．people in US like to read blogs for news
C．the Chinese never share feelings with each other through blogs
D．the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the West
【小題2】 ________wrote more blogs at the very beginning .
A．IT bloggers B．Media bloggers
C．Normal bloggers D．US bloggers
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．There will be more and more normal bloggers.
B．Only bloggers express their feelings through the Internet.
C．All people in the world are listening to the bloggers’ voice.
D．Media bloggers didn’t have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well.
【小題4】The underlined expression in the passage can be best replaced by “________”.
A．increased. B．a(chǎn)ppeared .
C．a(chǎn)rrived. D．grew.


【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】A
【小題4】B

解析試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述的是現(xiàn)在很多人都喜歡在網(wǎng)上寫博客，動?xùn)|西方人寫的博客的內(nèi)容是不一樣的。作者還將現(xiàn)在的博主進(jìn)行了分類，即信息技術(shù)博主、媒體博主和普通博主。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers可知，在美國，博客是給人們提供一些新聞信息來吸引人們的注意力。故C選項是正確的。根據(jù)短文第一句話我們可知，在中國56%的人寫博客是把它當(dāng)做私人的日記，故A不對；C和D的表達(dá)都不符合文意。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web.可知，當(dāng)博客剛剛開始的時候，學(xué)信息技術(shù)的人題目有技術(shù)上的優(yōu)勢，因此他們把握住了機(jī)會，把他們的想法寫在了網(wǎng)站上，他們的讀者也很多。故選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number可知A是正確的；根據(jù)短文可知除了博主，還有IT bloggers和normal bloggers，故B不對；C選項不符合文意；根據(jù)Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words. 可知D不對。故選A。
【小題4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)它所在的句子When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers.可知，這里說的是當(dāng)很多媒體博主出現(xiàn)的時候，普通的博主失去了大多數(shù)的讀者。show up的意思是出現(xiàn)。故選B。

It seems that there’s a good reason why dogs are always seen as man’s best friend. Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion(情感)in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry.
When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the person’s face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions.
Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “l(fā)eft gaze bias(左視偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. The dogs’ eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs.
Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions.
“Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. If true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.”
【小題1】 Why are dogs seen as man’s best friend according to the passage?

A．Because dogs are the closest animals to humans.
B．Because dogs can read the emotions in humans’ faces easily.
C．Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad.
D．Because dogs are good at expressing emotions.
【小題2】The dogs’ left gaze bias helps them _______.
A．get along well with humans B．express emotions quickly
C．have more understanding friends D．remember more new faces
【小題3】The passage mainly wants to tell us that _______.
A．dogs have been man’s best friends for thousands of years
B．humans have a “l(fā)eft gaze bias”
C．the “l(fā)eft gaze bias” works on all animals
D．dogs can read emotions the same as humans

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is "What's your name?" Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they
mean?
People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means "bright"; Beatrice means "one who gives happiness"; Donald means "world ruler"; Leonard means "as brave as a lion".
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook (С?); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter - a person who owned or drove a cart（手推車）； Potter -a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors (祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John
Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast
runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English-speaking people added -s or -son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
【小題1】Which of the following aspects（方面）do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?

A．Places where people lived.
B．People's characters.
C．Talents that people had.
D．People's occupations.
【小題2】 According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
A．owned or drove a cart
B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools or contains
D．built houses and furniture
【小題3】If an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A．Beatrice Smith
B．Leonard Carter
C．George Longstreet
D．Donald Greenwood
【小題4】 The underlined word "descendants" in the last paragraph means a person's _______.
A．后代B．朋友C．同事D．同伴

任務(wù)型閱讀 閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列各題。（共5小題，計10分）
Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.
Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.
Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.
【小題1】What does the writer think of the change and development of language?
He thinks it is                       .
【小題2】Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?
Because their          and education levels are different.
【小題3】How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?
The writer mentions          reasons.
【小題4】How do young people help develop language?
They do it when they                  others of their own age.
【小題5】 What is considered a dead language according to the passage?
The one that                   over time is considered a dead language.
