1.How to Make a Good First Impression (印象)
Have you ever met someone and walked away with"fool"or"loser"in mind?Are you afraid of being that someone and having others not like or understand you?Happily,you can get rid of these worries and fears by learning some effective skills on how to make a great and lasting first impression.Let's get started.
Talk about your interests and hobbies.(56)G.It is always a great conversation starter!Ask if they like a specific band or singer.The more you have in common,the easier it will be to carry on the conversation.
Smile.Especially when first meeting someone.It's not necessary to show your teeth,just a meaningful grin(露齿而笑) will do.(57)F,or people will feel you're being fake or that you don't like them.
(58)B.Stay focused on the person you are speaking with and certainly not on anything else to avoid them feeling unappreciated and unwanted.Often if the person has an eye problem,like an eye that turns in,you're put off by this.Instead,focus on the person's nose or mouth.
Have a sense of humor.Born funny people are just themselves and the humor shows.Don't worry if you are not a born funny person.(59)E.Don't keep serious all the time while you are talking to a new friend.
Be yourself.Don't pretend to be someone you're not,or you are stuck with that label forever.Be yourself.That may be what everyone says but it is entirely true!(60)C.If somebody finds out you have been lying to him or her,they will be very hurt and it will be hard for them to forgive you easily.

A.Appreciate others
B.Make eye contact.
C.Never lie to anybody about yourself and always be honest.
D.Keep smiling when you are talking to a new friend.
E.People who try to be funny can be funny if they try hard.
F.Be careful not to change from a smile to a straight face too quickly
G.Ask the other person about what their hobbies are.

分析 文章讲述了应该怎样做才能给人留下一个好印象.

解答 G F B E C
56.G 上下文语境.根据该段的主旨句Talk about your interests and hobbies可知,谈论的是自己的兴趣爱好,所以下文紧接着是问别人的兴趣爱好,从而自然引起话题,所以答案是G.
57.F 上下文语境.前文提到It's not necessary to show your teeth,just a meaningful grin(露齿而笑) will do可知,微笑时应做到露齿而笑,下文提到负责人们会认为你不喜欢他们,显然也是说的微笑时应该注意的,所以答案是F.
58.B 概括总结.从第一句话Stay focused on the person you are speaking with and certainly not on anything else to avoid them feeling unappreciated and unwanted得知,要集中于你所讲话的对象,为了避免引起尴尬别到处看,在结合下文推出讲述的是眼神的交流,所以答案是B.
59.E 上下文语境.前文提到Don't worry if you are not a born funny person即不要担心你天生不是一个幽默的人,如果你努力想要成为一个幽默的人则有可能成为一个幽默的人,所以答案是E.
60.C 上下文语境.这段主题是Be yourself做自己,以及最后一句话If somebody finds out you have been lying to him or her,they will be very hurt and it will be hard for them to forgive you easily.如果有人发现你撒谎,他们会觉得受伤害,而且也不容易原谅你,所以建议我们别撒谎,要诚实,所以答案是C.

18.Some 30,000 years ago,artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them:panthers,hyenas,rhinos,cave lions,mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time.
The artwork,more than a thousand drawings,is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered.They were preserved because the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23,000 years.
Fast forward to December 18,1994,a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France.Jean Marie Chauvet,who led the group then,describes the process of discovering the cave paintings."At that time I was in the front,Eliette just walked behind me,Christian behind.Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre(赭石) and she said,‘They came here.'And at this very moment everything began.The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art(壁画).That is where it started."
Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings."I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses."
Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork.Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago,before human history was written.The United Nations'cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site.They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.
The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it.However,its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings.So the cave is closed,and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.
However,French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave,called Pont d'Arc Cavern.The copy,which we also called replica,cost more than 59 million dollars to build.It opened at the end of April in France.
Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern.He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe.He says the place is magic because it is done so well.Authorities say they think as many as 400,000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d'Arc Cavern every year.

9.Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road.Most of these people are old people and children.Old people often get hurt or die because they can't see or hear very well.Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness.They forgot to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents?All of us must obey the traffic rules.For the drivers,they shouldn't drive too fast.If they drive too fast,it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time.For the pedestrians(行人),it's very important to be careful when they are walking on the road.Therefore,when we walk across the road,we must try to walk along the pavements.We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road.Look left first,next look right,then look left again.Only when we are sure that the road is clear,we can cross it.The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly.It's not safe to run.If people run across the road,they may fall down.Teens should try to help children,old people or blind people to cross the road,and never play in the street.

16.Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens,organizations and government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers,magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time,online,cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general,more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time,fewer owners control them.Huge companies have many holdings(股份).In some areas,one company controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It comes into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs,as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago,few people had cable.Today,about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.
Over the years,traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable companies,however,present programs for one special group of viewers.For example,there are cable stations for people who like books,cooking,travel,golf or comedy.

28.Which of the following is true about American public media?D
A.They depend on the government.
B.They are controlled by the government

6.You arrive on time at the Smith's house to babysit three-year-old Max.When Mrs.Smith invites you into the house,you find Max sitting on the floor with an I-pad.You look around for a book,and then you realize the i-pad is teaching him how to read through a series of songs and games.Mrs Smith looks as though she couldn't be prouder of her son for playing such educational games.
Technology is becoming more important in our everyday lives.From playing a game to asking Siri for directions to a restaurant,we are depending heavily on our handheld device.Companies such as Fisher-price and Open solutions are making apps such as"Laugh and Learn","Baby Hear and Read"and"Baby's First Puzzle."These apps are marketed to parents and their babies.Some companies say that their apps will help the baby learn to read while others promise skills such as identifying shapes and sounds.Many parents say that these games have helped their children a lot.
Recently the campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood,a Boston-based group,has been accusing companies,who make these supposedly educational games,of false advertising.The campaign believes that these games are doing very little to improve the education of young children.
"What babies need for healthy brain development is active play,hands-on creative play and face-to-face interaction."says Susan Linn,the group's director.This means that when you are babysitting little Max,you should play board games with him or games that require him to use his own imagination.This will help him to learn not only skills that the games teach him,but he will learn social skills.The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Linn,discouraging any electronic time for babies under 2,while older children should be limited to one to two hours a day.

64.We can learn that many parents think the apps such as"Laugh and Learn"areC.
A.expensive to buy   
B.complex to operate   
C.beneficial to possess   
D.dull to use
65.Which of the following may Susan Linn agree with?C
A.The i-pad will soon take the place of babysitters.
B.Babies should stay away from these learning apps
C.Baby's First Puzzle is a good choice for parents
D.The apps from Fisher-Price can teach children a lot.
66.What a babysitter really needs to do is toC.
A.buy more educational apps from markets  
B.turn to Commercial-Free Childhood for help
C.create more activities that children can take part in
D.encourage more kids to discover more electronic games
67.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?B
A.Fun educational apps for education
B.Learning apps:Do they really help?
C.Is modern technology improving our lives?
D.The campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.
13.Parents often assume that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence.But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents,private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years.And that may raise a teenager's self-esteem (自尊) an social confidence,especially if it is time spent with Dad,the researchers added.
The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16 school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate.In each family,a teenager,a younger sibling,their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years.
The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers,the kids reported they felt better about themselves.Something about the father's role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study,said study author Susan McHale,a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University.
"Time spent with Dad often involves joking,teasing and other playful interactions.Fathers,as compared to mothers,were more involved in leisure activities and had more friend-like interactions with their children,w hich is crucial for youth social development,"the study showed.
But Marta Flaum,a psychologist in Chappaqua,New York,said,"How these findings reflect the real world is a real question.The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of more families in the country today that I'm not sure how much we can g eneralizing from it.In my commu nity,in Westchester County,I don't see parents and teenagers spending much time together at all.Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids."
However,Flaum encourages parents tom make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do."Research like this reminds us of how important it is.The time we have with them is so short,"she said.
12.According to the study,when teenagers spend more time alone with their fathers,A.

D.Skeptical
14.What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph probably refer to?D
A.The research by Susan McHale.
B.The work to be done.
C.Parents'encouragement.
D.Parents'making time for their kids.
15.Where is the passage more likely to have been taken from?B

10.From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
    One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.And I'm not going to ask you what words mean."
    The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,"Mr.Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as seriously,"I mean every word of it."
    During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be,"and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,"Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
    This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is---an exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.
41.According to the passage,children's fear and dislike of books may result fromD.
A.reading little and think little.
B.reading often and adventurously
C.being made to read too much   
D.being made to read aloud before others
42.Upon hearing the teacher's talk,the children probably felt thatC.
A.it sounded stupid             
B.it was not surprising at all
C.it sounded too good to be true   
D.it was no different from other teachers'talk

A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D.She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
44.From the teacher's point of view,B.
A.children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading   
B.children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C.reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school   
D.reading involves understanding every little piece of information.
