阅读表达。阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。     Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as
easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
     "I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that"s all. I think many of my classmates
are the same. We wouldn"t know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Zheng Chenyu. "And
I"d forget something important. I"d probably watch television and burn the soup."
     "As soon as I leave home, I"ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We"re very
lazy,"she said.
     Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don"t learn any life skills until they go to
college.
     However, Sima Yige doesn"t think so.

     "I think I"d be all right. I wouldn"t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook, some sim-ple dishes
because my mum showed me," the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many teen-agers depend too much
on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "tidying up your room or even dressing
yourself properly."
     For most teenagers it wouldn"t be a holiday at all. 1. Why would Zheng Chenyu probably burn the soup?
    _____________________________________________________________________________________

阅读理解。     It"s hard to imagine life without the Internet. How greatly it has changed our lives in the past 15 years
since it was widely used. At the same time, however, the Internet has also caused some traditions to fall
away (消失).  
     E-mail is quicker and cheaper. Getting a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare (稀有的)
pleasure.
     Who would like to pay 60 yuan for 12 songs in a plastic case if you can find music in the Interact for
free? 
     When almost any fact can be found within seconds through Google and Baidu, personal memory becomes
less important. The Web can remember it for us.
     When was the last time you watched the world out of a window? When was the last time you read a
favorite book once again? When was the last time you sat in the cinema with your family? More and more
people lose themselves in the Internet. They show less interest and spend less time in the outside world.
     You"ve spent the past few years talking with your freinds on QQ, or reading about his or her QQ suqare,
so meeting a freind is no longer as important as it once was.
     Have you ever found yourself doing homework with one eye on a QQ Space window? A growing number
of people say the Internet is stopping young people from fixing their attention on anything for a long time.
     When you surf the Internet, it feels like something you"re enjoying and nobody knows it. But when you
realize just how many people are watching your every move, it might just make you mad. Many people have
realized their personal information can be found easily in the Internet even they don"t want to. 1. According to the passage, the Internet has been widely used since _______ ago. A. 12 years
B. 14 years

B. seems happy
C. feels interested

阅读理解。     In many countries, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially when more and
more stars give their children special names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like except
dirty words.   
     Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. Because of the film the Lord of the Rings
(指环王), six boys were named Gandalf. Names about sport are very common, too. Since 1984, 36 children
have been called Arsenal after the football team.
     Other parents like to make up names, or combine (合并) two names to make a special one. A mother in
Britain invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter. She combined the names Thea and Amy (the two
grandmothers). 
     In China, there are some rules about names ―- you can"t use foreign letters or symbols (符号) in a Chinese
name. For example, parents are not allowed to name their baby @. In New Zealand, a name beginning with a
number is not allowed. Other countries have stricter rules about calling children. For example, Japan,
Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have a list of names. Parents must choose the names in the lists for
their children.
     In Britain, some old-fashioned (过时的) names have become popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl,
and Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are very
traditional--Jack and Thomas for boys, or Grace and Jessica for girls. 1. In Britain, people can"t use ______ words in their children"s names. A. strange
B. popular
C. old-fashioned
D. dirty 2. Thirty-six children were called Arsenal because of a ______. A. movie star
B. football star
C. football team
D. film 3. According to the passage, which of the following names is NOT allowed? A. Gandulf in Britain
B. Tiaarnii in Britain
C.李@in China
D. Real in New Zealand 4. In ______, people must name their children according to the list. A. Japan
B. Britain
C. America
D. China 5. From the last paragraph (段落), we know ______ today. A. you can name a girl Alfie in Britain
B. strange names are the most popular in Britain
C. people don"t use old names in Britain
D. the most popular names are the traditional names in Britain

阅读理解。     Is the world too crowded? Well, that"s a hard question to answer. It"s all a matter of perspective (视角).
In Montana, you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000
people live in every square mile!
     What is true is that the world"s population doesn"t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate
(比例). That"s in part because in each generation (代) these are more people who then have children than in
the last generation.
     Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world"s population
was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth
continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow! Now
that"s a whole lot of people! Soon the world"s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry
about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals (相当于) too many
people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to feed,
house and take care of all of them, and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the
earth"s resources. 1. From the first paragraph we can know that _____. A. Montana is too crowded
B. Macao is too crowded
C. the world is too crowded
D. the world is not too crowded 2. The population is increasing fast partly because _____. A. people live longer than before
B. there are less wars than before
C. medicine is developing faster than before
D. more couples now would like to have children than before 3. What was the world"s population 100 years ago? A. 450 million.
B. About 2 billion.
C. 40 billion.
D. 7 billion. 4. The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should _____. A. find more resources
B. use more resources
C. think about our ways of living
D. move to other places 5. From the passage we can learn that the writer _____. A. thinks the world already has too many people
B. thinks the world can feed no more than 7 billion people
C. is not sure when the world"s population will reach 7 billion
D. is not sure what the largest population that the world can feed is

     In the past, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different in
many ways-the buildings, the food, the national dresses and so on. At present, however, one large city is
similar to another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald"s,
their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of
office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands (品牌) of Japanese or European cars.
     Then what is the foreign travel for? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they
cannot experience at home? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation"s
history and culture that are the main attractions. Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries
history and cultures used to be like, not what they arc like today. Tourists try to learn the history and culture
of foreign countries by visiting different kinds of museums.
     Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. Their own special scenery (风景:)
would certainly attract tourists from other countries.
     Finally, there is perhaps a country"s attraction; its people. A country is not just its old buildings, its works
of art (艺术品) or beautiful places, it"s also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand
attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness (友好) of the people there.
It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. The friendly, smiling people make visitors feel welcome.
