阅读理解     In the early 1990s, the word" Internet" was strange to most people. But today, Internet has become a
useful tool for people all over the world. Maybe Internet has been the greatest invention in the field of
communication in the history of mankind(人类).
     Communicating with others on the Internet is much faster. We can chat with a person who is sitting in    the other part of the world. We can e-mail our friends and they can read the e-mails within a minute.
     Giving all kinds of information is probably the biggest advantage of the Internet. We can use search      engines to find the information we need. Just type in a keyword or keywords and the search engine will     give us a list of suitable websites to look at.
     We can enjoy a lot on the Internet by downloading games, visiting chat rooms or surfing (浏览)          websites.  There are some games for free. We can meet new and interesting people in the chat now.  We can also listen to music and see films.
     Now, there is a lot of service on the Internet such as online banking, job finding and ticket buying. We can also do shopping and find nearly all kinds of goods. Sometimes we can find something that is quite      good but very cheap. 1. How many main advantages of the Internet are talked about in the passage?A. Three.
B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six. 2. What fact doesn"t the passage provide?A. We can find almost anything we want to know on the Internet.

阅读理解      I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but
unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, "You mean fortunately." He explained that
I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
      My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell
myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get
fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally as I wend my way up the incline I
console myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on
stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smug smile of satisfaction
as I reach the top of the hill.
     Problems are there to be faced and overcome. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person
to gain a University degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, "Character
cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul
be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."
      One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to
time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties. Some are of our making
but many confront us through no fault of our own. Whilst we cannot choose the adversity we can
choose our attitude towards it.
     The biographies of great people are littered with examples of how they took these kinds of steps
to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become defeatist or
depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.

1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Attitude makes difference
B. Well begun is half done.
C. The early bird gets the worm.
D. Easier said than done.

2. From Helen Keller"s example we can infer that__________.

A. Great people are born to be great and successful
B. Life is hard and difficult so we have to give up
C. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life
D. Practice makes people successful and powerful

3. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he/she continues to write?

A. Some examples of our daily life.
B. His stories of overcoming difficulties.
C. Stories of some unlucky great people.
D. Some examples of his friend Graham.

4. The underlined word "adversity " in the fourth paragraph probably NOT refers to ______.

A. problems
B. difficulties
C. hardships
D. advertisements

阅读理解 I have been a student at Bentley College in Waltham for some time now, so I have a lot of experience
and know how things work at Bentley. As a freshman(新生)at Bentley College you will be living in the
Tree Dorms, Slade Hall or Miller Hall. I would highly suggest that you choose to live in the Tree Dorms
because this is where most fresh-men are going to be living. There will be a lot of activities going on in the building and you will meet lots of people. Slade Hall is next to the parking lot(停车场)and not far from the Tree Dorms, so that would be your second choice. As Miller Hall is small and far away, it would be my
last choice for freshmen housing. If Bentley offers you the chance to live with second or third year students you"d better refuse their offer and live with freshmen. Living with your classmates will make the transition (过渡) into college life a lot easier.
As a freshman your classes should be easy. After freshman year your classes will become a lot more
difficult, so I advise that you get down to business early in the first year. There are two very easy things you can do to increase your knowledge as a freshman. The first is to just go to class and the second is to
always do your homework. I also highly advise that you do it on your own and try to stay disciplined
(遵守纪律的). It is too easy to put your homework away and then get really behind and not be able to
learn everything before a mid-term or final exam. 1. The author advises freshmen to live in the Tree Dorms because ___________.A. it is across the parking lot from Slade Hall
B. it is small and quite far away from the playground
C. there are many second and third year students there
D. there are many freshmen and more activities2. Where is Slade Hall?A. Near Miller Hall.
B. Far from Tree Dorms.
C. Beside the car park.
D. Near the classrooms.3. According to the author, how can freshmen improve knowledge?A. Remember to do homework by discussing it with others.
B. Finish homework and go to class every day.
C. Try to spend more time in the library.
D. Be able to learn something before a mid-term or final exam.4. The author writes the passage to ___________.A. tell new students how to get used to college life
B. tell new students about their teachers and dormitory
C. show the differences between college and high school
D. tell readers about some funny things at Bentley College

阅读理解     According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not
help them build self-confidence.
     Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children"s self-confidence -the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise
everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers
should not say things like "good job" or "nice work" whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
     Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does
not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child"s advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect
(影响) if it is given equally to all students.
     "It"s important to tell children the truth about what they"ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better
than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they"re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That"s just how the world is."1. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praise
B. increase self-confidence
C. become strong
D. do better in their studies2. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______. A. make them live more happily
B. let them do more difficult work
C. help them do better in school
D. encourage them to improve3. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.
B. Children don"t know what they"re really good at.
C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children"s strengths. 4. What is the last paragraph about?A. It"s important to have the habit of praising children.
B. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D. What children with high self-confidence are like.

阅读理解     Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar,
the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ 1_
     First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all
learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
     __2_  The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
     Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited
understanding. __3__
     Here is some of the advice I give my students:
     ●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
     ●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
     ● Do not translate everything into your native language.
     ● ___4__ Don"t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
     ● Listen to something you enjoy.
     I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the
beginning, when I didn"t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually
resulted in confusion.   _5_   Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.
Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn"t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A. But you can"t follow a native English speaker at all!
B. What should you do?
C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

阅读理解     Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. I and many others have followed his
lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were "passion",
"focus" and "delegate" and I stayed true to them. This year, 2012, my goals are more personal and less
professional.
     FOCUS
     Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I"m too much of a multitasker. The
problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me.  When I was working as
a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, which kept me organized. This year I"m going to
have each task scheduled. I"m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
     HEALTH
     I get so busy taking care of everyone else, I forget to take care of myself and this has to change.  My
health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check, not only for me-but because I
promised my 9-year-old son. I"ll make sure to take time to exercise every day and make good food and
lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it"s time to get it back.
     CELEBRATE
     What good is having it all if I"m not taking time to enjoy it?I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and
so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our
first vacation in four years, the best thing I"ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I"m
making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.
     Do you have any words for 2012?

A. makes a living by writing
B. always fails to finish a task on time
C. has several things to do at the same time

2. Why does the writer have "health" as one of his three words?

A. He wants to take better care of others.
B. He"s gaining weight and feeling bad.
C. He did not take any exercise in the past.
D. He got the idea from his son.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The word "celebrate" can remind the writer to enjoy life.
B. The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.
C. The word "focus" can help the writer focus on his family.
D. The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise.

4. The best title for the passage might be________?

A. Three Words for 2012
