阅读理解。     Shi Fang spends more than 4,000 yuan a month shopping, but she rarely goes to the shopping
mall. "Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao? I am a Taobaoer," says Shi, 28, a writer in
Beijing.
     A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Shi have discovered the joys of online shopping.
The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) announced in December that more than 87
million Chinese made purchases on the Internet in the first half year, which means one out of four
Chinese netizens have online shopping experience.
     It is estimated that the consumption from online shopping will reach more than 250 billion yuan
this year, and 80 percent of this is carried out through Taobao. com, China"s fast-growing e-commerce
hub (枢纽) set up in 2003.
     The biggest attraction for Shi Fang is the relatively low price for online goods, compared with those
in stores in bricks. Her favorite facial cream costs 1,680 yuan for a 30ml bottle in the local shop, but a
10ml sample of the same brand only costs 68 yuan online.
     The Taobao instant messenger, a communication channel for buyers and sellers, also makes onlrne
shopping easier and ensures the overall experience for both parties Shi Fang regards it as a platform to
promote trust and keep contact.
     "You can check the information easily. It is sweet that the owner will remember you once you have
regular chat with him or her through the messenger. You may receive some personalized service such
as getting more samples or certain discount," said Shi While some may question the security of online
purchases, Yang Fei, another Taobaoer, gave a thumb-up for Alipay, the Taobao payment method
started by Alibaba Group in 2004 in partnership with leading banks in China. It enabled her to make
a lot of purchases online.
     "It"s very safe and convenient. Unless you confirm the arrival and satisfaction about the purchase,
the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get the refund(退款) if you want to return the
purchase," she added. 1. According to the passage, Taobao is           . A. a website where people can buy different things

                                                   American Way of Life
     Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had
to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast. But they
weren"t content to stay there.   1   Later, settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result
of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem unable to stay in one place. Research says that the average
American moves every five years.
     Besides their habit of changing addresses, Americans are used to traveling. Some people go to
work daily in long-distance places. __2__ Most companies provide an annual vacation for their
employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in
distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend outings and stay in economy motels. Those with
more expensive tastes choose fancy resorts and hotels.   3   Some travel in vehicles to camp out in
comfort while others "rough it" by sleeping in tents. 
         4   Why? For one thing, it"s cheaper than traveling abroad and there"s no language problem.
Besides, America offers plenty of tourist attractions. _5_ Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains,
canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. As it is, the convenience of modern freeways, railways
and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.
A. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind.
B. Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation"s borders.
C. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western areas.
D. Major cities offer visitors large quantities of urban delights.
E. Many people ask traveling agencies to plan the trip for them.
F. Their jobs may even require them to take regular business trips.
G. For adventurous people, camping out in the great outdoors is appealing.

阅读理解。     Seeing a volcano erupt(喷发) is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beat
by climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours
every day up thishighly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see
Mother Nature at her most powerful.
     Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua,a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its
old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when
you come to Antigua, you won"t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
     But climbing Pacaya is no easy job : it is 2,560metreshigh, and reaching the summit
takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements.
As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains
from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit :the
McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the
cone , the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old,inactive summit.
     Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time
for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩)and the daikening sky.
On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils ,
sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up t0 100 metres
into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the
cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side
of the volcano. For you , too , it is time to get down.1. What is the main purpose of this passage?_____A. To attract tourists to Pacaya.

阅读理解。

     How can you help kids cope with (应对) stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can boost coping
skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk or just be
in the same room with you, make yourself available.
     Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after
work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day - especially if
they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in you kids shows that they’ve important
to you.
     Help your child cope with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up
with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time
talking with parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.
     You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For
example, let a child know ahead of time (but not too far ahead of time) that a doctor’s appointment is
coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably
won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.
      Remember that some level of stress is normal; let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared,
lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings.
      When kids can’t or won’t discuss these issues, try talking about your own concerns. This shows
that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child
shows symptoms (症状) that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor or other mental
health experts.
     Most parents have the skills to deal with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention
is when any change in behavior persists, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is
causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.

1. What is the purpose of the text?A. To share the author’s ideas on proper parenting.
B. To persuade parents to spend more time with kids.
C. To advise parents how to help kids deal with stress.
D. To seek different ways to help solve kids’ problems.2. What makes it difficult for parents to spare quality time for kids?A. Kids growing so fast.
B. Parents being tired out.

阅读理解     Small discoveries in Indonesia are causing a stir(轰动 )  in the science world. Researchers have
unearthed (挖掘)  tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If that" s true,
it will change how we think about our ancestors.
     Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first revealed last year in the scientific joumal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores,in
Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton(骨骼) belonged
to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit, after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.
      Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle,including a jawbone  and  
parts  of arms , legs  and  hands  from several individuals , as well as stone tools. They reported their find
in Nature this month. " The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct
from modem humans," Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans
Homo floresiensis.
     Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a
different species from modern humans,that would make our family tree bigger than we knew. It means ,
says Brown ,that  " until recently , a relative shared  the planet
with us. "
       Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to
modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.
       Daniel  E.   Lieberman , a scientist  at  Harvard  University, thinks that the debate over the discovery
is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about
these unusual skeletons. " Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process" , Lieberman said.
" As far as I"m concerned, the story"s only just begun. "1. Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because_________.  A. it proves to be a full-grown adult
B. it belongs to an ancient human species
C. it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of book
D. it is a figure described in the Lord of the Rings2. Small discoveries in Indonesia are important because__________.   A. they are about ancestors of modern humans
B. they are revealed in the scientific journal Nature
C. they are made by Peter Brown,a famous scientist
D. they might provide new evidence for human study3. According to Daniel E. Lieberman_____________.   A. the investigation hasn"t begun yet
B. disagreement leads to further research
C. Homo floresiensis doesn"t exist on earth
D. our family tree is bigger than we knew4. What does the underlined word " a relative"  in Paragraph 4 refer to?   A. Another human species.
B. The little people in fictions.
C. Our ancestors like monkeys.
D. One of Peter Brown"s relatives.5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?  A. History of Indonesian People
B. Arguments Over Human Origin

some day. Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times. To get the kind of success that you
want, you need to dream big. That"s the starting point. Every success story begins with big dreams. You
need to have big dreams  for yourself , like  being  somebody  rich , famous or fulfilled.You need to have
a clear goal of what you want to achieve.

B. Anita Roddick  The Body Shop Inc.
        In America , we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community
development, and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a similar shop elsewhere in the United
States. The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me.
     What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk
about real human issues like AIDS, recycling, human rights, and community service or to encourage
people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust. Knowing our products are symbols of
social change is really encouraging.

directors , and strategic partners.Maybe the lady you met in a trade association meeting can help you
secure funding , or the gentleman at a conference can provide you with management advice.

"Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing. "
     The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur,work is play. I think it
all adds up to having fun. It"s  fun  to create ; it"s fun to  entertain, and  it"s fun to make people happy with
our service. When it stops being fun,l"ll stop doing it.
E. Frank Toskan  Make-Up Art Cosmetics( M. A. C. )
        One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, "I hate makeup,but I love M.  A.  C. " That" s
what moves me on. Even  people who don " t wear makeup can appreciate our company , what it stands
for,its values, and the way we do business.
        We work from an inverted pyramid , where the customers are always at the top. Our customers
inspire me and keep me going. They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic. If I had stayed in
this business just for the money,l would have closed down years ago.
