20．You mustapologize（道歉） to your mother for being so rude．

19．Once upon a time there was a little boy who became very ill．He had to spend all day in bed，unable to move．Because other children weren't allowed（56）to come（come） near him，he spent his days（57）feeling（feel） sad and blue．
There wasn't much he could do but look out of the windows．One day，he saw a monkey busy（58）blowing（blow） up a balloon．After a while，as more and more crazy-looking characters appeared outside（59）thewindow，he burst out laughing and found it hard to stop．He couldn't have seen even （60）funnier（funny） things：a pig playing a tambourine （小手鼓），an elephant（61）jumping（jump） on a trampoline （彈床），and a dog wearing a pair of glasses…Before long，his（62）physical（physics） condition improved so much that he was able to go back to school again．
  There he got to talk to his friends，and tell （63）aboutall the strange things he had seen．While he was talking to his best friend，he saw something sticking out of his friend's school bag．The boy asked his friend （64）whatit was，and he was so insistent （堅持的） that finally his friend had to show （65）him（he） what was in the bag：There，inside，were all the fancy-dress suits and disguises （偽裝品） that his best friend had been using to try to cheer the little boy up!

18．Cell Phones：Hang Up or Keep Talking
  Millions of people are using cell phones today．In many places，it is actually considered unusual not to use one．（31）B．They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected．
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried．Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones．Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity（負(fù)面報道）of such ideas．（32）E．On the other hand，signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment．In one case，a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss．（33）F．This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day，every day of his working week，for a couple of years．
（33）D？The answer is radiation（輻射）．High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones．Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation，but they say the amount is too small to worry about．
As the discussion about the safety continues，it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often．（35）G．Use your mobile phone only when you really need it．In the future，mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health．So for now，it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often．

17．The Internet brings us many advantages．With the Internet，people can send and receive e-mails．On the Internet，people can skim over news．Using the Telnet，the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account．It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another．
    But the Internet also brings us troubles．Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological （心理的） health，according to research at Carnegie Mellon University．Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often，the two-year study showed．And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet，but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings．
    Researchers are puzzling over the results，which were completely opposite to what they had expected．They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television，since the Net allo ws users to choose their information and to communicate with ot hers．
    The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health，researchers said．Faceless，bodiless"virtual"（虛擬的） communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations，and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep．Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives．
"But it's important to remember this is not about the technology； it's about how it is used，"said one of the researchers．"It really points to the need for considering social factors （因素） when you design new inventions．"
28．What would be the best title for this passage？B
A．The Internet can bring people many advantages
B．The Internet use may cause psychological problems
C．The Internet users are not satisfied with their lives
D．We shouldn't use the Internet
29．Why are the researchers puzzling over the results？A
A．Because the results were completely different from what they had thought．
B．Because the Net proved socially healthier than television．
C．Because the Internet users were all healthier．
D．Because the Internet users experienced less dep ression and loneliness．
30．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean？D
A．We should remember to learn how to use computers．
B．This passage is not about the technology but about how it is used．
C．We should remember to learn about the technology．
D．What matters is not the technology but how it is used．

16．Canada is a very large country．It is the second largest country in the world．By contrast it has a very small population．There are only about 29 million people there．Most Canadians are of British or French origin，and French is an official language of Canada as well as English．About 45% of the people are of British origin，that is，they or their parents or grandparents，etc，come from Britain．Nearly 30%  are of French origin．Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of Quebec．
  Over the years，people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world．They are from most European countries and also from China，besides other Asian countries．
  However，Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive．Canadian Indians lived along the coast，by the rivers and lakes and in forests．Today there are only about 350，000 Indians in the whole country，with their own languages．In the far north live the Inuit．There are only 27，000 Canadian-Inuit．Their life is hard in such a difficult climate．

14．Forgiveness
   To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．（56B
 Try the following steps：
   Calm yourself．（57）FYou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．
   Don't wait for an apology． Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（58）GKeep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．
   Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain．Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．（59）D
 If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．
   Don't forget to forgive yourself．（60）EBut it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it．
A．Why should you forgive？
B．How should you start to forgive？
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from your offender's angle．
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique．
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．

13．Lots of kids go through times when they'd like to change their hair．Often，it is girls who are most concerned，but boys may be interested in how their hair looks，too．Sometimes hair will change as you get older，all by itself，as when you go through puberty （青春期）．
   Maybe it used to be lighter and now it's darker．Or maybe it's oilier than it used to be，and now you need to wash it more．It's also normal，as you're getting older，to notice your appearance more often．You might suddenly de cide you want a hairstyle like the other kids at school have．But some styles and looks require chemical treatments and long hours in the chair at the hair salon．Some people dye their hair a different color，get a bunch of braids （穗帶），or make their hair straight when it's curly．Are these treatments OK for kids？That's something you should discuss with your parents．At any age，any chemical or heat applied to the hair can damage the hair or cause it to break off．
  Any styling that pulls hard on the hair can also hurt the skin of the head or cause hair loss．Styling tools，such as curling irons and straightening irons，get very hot and can cause burns．And chemicals used to color，curl，or straighten hair can be very harmful if they get into your eyes or onto your skin-another reason not to try this without an adult's help．
53．What does the word"kids"refer to in this passage？D

B．Hair can be straightened with an instrument．
C．You'd better change your hair with the help of your parents．
D．Hair change by chemicals or instruments is harmful．

12．There are two dangers to be guarded against in old age．One of these is undue （過度的） absorption in the past．There is no need to live in memories，in regrets for the good old days，or in sadness about friends who are dead．One's thoughts must be directed to the future，and to things about which there is something to be done．
    It is unwise to be too attached to the youth in hopes of sucking vigor from their vitality （活力）．When your children have grown up，they want to live their own lives，and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young，you are likely to become a burden to them，unless they are cold to you．
    I think a successful old age is easier for those who have strong impersonal interests involving proper activities．It is no use telling children not to make mistakes，both because they will not believe you，and because mistakes are an essential part of education．But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests，and you only concern yourself with your children and grandchildren，then you must realize that while you can stil lrenderthem material services，such as making them an allowance，you must not expect that they will enjoy your company．
    Some old people are afraid of death．But in fact the best way is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal．An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first，rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls．Gradually the river grows wider and the banks move back and in the end they become merged （混和） in the sea without any visible break．
  The old man who can see life in this way will not suffer from the fear of growing old and death．

A．return      B．reward    C．give D．demand
48．The author compares an individual human existence to a river becauseC．
A．life is like a river，first small，and then it becomes wide
B．life is like a river finally flowing into the sea and disappearing
C．old age and death are both natural，just like a river
D．people get old and finally die naturally like a river
49．What's the main topic of this passage？B

Last Saturday，our school had organized an activity to visit the children at a local orphanage．As one of the volunteer，I took part in it．We took many books as well many kinds of school supplies and toys for the children．They were delighted to receive the gifts．In the morning，we played some games with them when we used to play in our childhood．Then we cooked and had lunch here．In the afternoon，we gave them some performances．Before leaving the orphanage，we had photos take with them and gave them our contact details so that they could keep in touch with one another．Each of us had a happily time．We gave the children our care and help，but in return，they gave us their smiles and love．

10．It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave．（31）G But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages？Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body？
Scientists have recently tackled these questions．They found that when a person is looking at your face，she might not believe what she sees of your body language matches the feeling that your face shows．
（32）BPreviously，they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken．For example，most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice，"I'm so excited．"
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language，most scientists suspected that the face was more important．To test if this was true，psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies（with faces blurred out） that showed anger or fear．（33）FAn angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips．A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth．（34）EA scared body had arms forward and shoulders square，as if ready to defend．
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people．Even when people pay attention to the face，body language subtly influences which emotion they read．（35）D And if you want to be understood，it helps to avoid sending mixed messages．
A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people．
B．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists．
C．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds．
D．So，your body language is important for telling people how you feel．
E．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle，as if ready to fight．
F．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies．
G．When you do this，your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them．
