It’s Saturday morning. Tony’s sitting at the kitchen table,    36    with a piece of bread. He’s not even    37   . Is he ill? No, but he does have a    38   . He has nothing to do because the Internet is down. When he    39    up this morning, Tony was feeling    40   . He jumped out of bed full of plans for the weekend    41   . It would be a weekend like any other --- a great weekend. But that was    42    he turned on his computer and    43    he was unable to go online. Having no Internet changes everything.
Every weekend, Tony    44    goes online to email friends, read the    45    to keep up with what’s happening in the world and    46    a few online chess games with his cousin Helen to finish the weekend off. The perfect weekend --- online!
Just as Tony is    47    how he can possibly have a normal weekend without the Internet, his mum walks into the    48   . “Cheer up, Tony. Don’t    49    the Internet any more, OK?” Tony makes no    50    but sighs (叹气).“Go and play chess with Helen!” Tony’s mum­  51   .
“Oh, yes! Helen lives just around the    52   . We can meet and play chess face to face for a    53   . Maybe this weekend won’t be so bad,” Tony    54   , as he walks to the phone. There is   55    without the Internet after all.

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago．Times have changed．And so too has the Canadian workforce．Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change．For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair．
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about．For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the way for workers who become disabled on the job．By doing so, any given group of people? formerly discriminated against-now has access to better employment opportunities．
The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society．However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(实行配额）. Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them．
For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees-Canada’s largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women．At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers．
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers （8% ） and those who are studying to become engineers （25% ）．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people．
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities．If aboriginal people （土著居民） , for example, can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
小题1:The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A．modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B．achieve equality of employment opportunities
C．protect women’s rights in employment
D．complete a job training program
小题2:The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A．barriersB．measuresC．goalsD．timetables
小题3:The example of women shows that ____.
A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B．13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D．the quota of women for employment should be raised
小题4:The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 probably means _
A．put forwardB．run intoC．find outD．deal with

Yesterday I totally changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being  36  , he was happy and   37   that it was because of something he saw in India．
A few years ago he was  38  feeling sad and was touring India．He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw an Indian mother 39 her child’s right hand with a knife．The helpless  40  in the mother’s eyes and the painful scream of the 41 four-year-old child still remained in his mind．
The 42 mother made the child handicapped （disabled）  43  he could go out on the streets to beg．  44  by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating．And almost at once, several children  45  around this small piece of bread covered with sand,   46 bits from one another．It was the 47  reaction of hunger．He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread．  48   he gave out the bread to the children （mostly handicapped）, he  49   cheers and bows from these  50   children．For the first time in his life, he understood  51  people could give up their  52  for a loaf of bread．He came to   53   how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to  54   about food that didn’t taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him   55   dreamed of having．Perhaps life wasn’t bad at all．

Holding a cell phone against your ear or stalling it in your pocket may be hazardous to your health．
This paraphrases a warning that cell phone; manufacturers include in the small print that is often tossed aside when a new phone is purchased．Apple, for example, doesn’t want iP hones to come closer to you than 1．5 centimeters; Research In Motion, Blackberry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters．
If health issues arise from cell phone use, the implications are huge．Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2．26 trillion minutes annually - generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers．
Devra Davis, an epidemiologist who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, "Disconnect." The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
　　Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
　　"Most cancers have multiple causes," she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
　　Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
　　Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
　　Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen.
小题1:We can infer from the passage that________．
A．Cell phone may do harm to our health if we hold it against our ear or store in our pocket
B．Devra Davis thinks that there are many factors contributing to cancer．
C．The increase in brain cancer in the young adults may have something to do with cell phone
D．Children are more likely to be affected by radiation
小题2:According to the passage, how could children avoid being hurt by cell phone radiation?
A．They can keep cell phones away from the abdomen．
B．They can send short massage instead of making phone calls directly．
C．They can pay more attention to the small print on the phone．
D．They should use more advanced cell phones．
小题3:From this passage we can learn that．________．
A．American cell phone manufacturers did not give any warning to their customers
B．American cell phone manufacturers benefit greatly from their products
C．Scientists have found the connection between brain cancer and ceil phone
D．Cell phone should be banned because of the increase in brain cancer
小题4:In which column can we most probably read this passage?
A．Advanced technology．B．Entertainment．
C．Science and life．D．Celebrity．
Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是）there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (强制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
小题1: According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.
A．is still unknownB．is being closely studied
C．is usually neglectedD．has been fully recognized
小题2:The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.
A．the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood
B．all of the recreation facilities far from home
C．relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D．the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
小题3:The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.
A．in special areasB．in the suburbs
C．in the neighbourhood of the houseD．in gardens and parks
小题4: The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.
A．suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious
B．show that recreation activities are very important
C．show how recreation activities have spread wildly
D．suggest how to offer recreation activities around home
小题5:Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?
A．One lives the very best standard of living.
B．There are too many distractions outside his home.
C．There are few recreations around his house.
D．One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

The easy way out isn't always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu(菜谱) which included homemade bread . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozens would be better , so I doubled（加倍）everything . As Doug loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to eat Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing .It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the 'living thing” was and why it was there . I don't know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing － Doug or me.

A. TV’s Influence on Children’s Life
B. Argument Against Violence on TV
C. TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities
D. The Importance of Violence in Real Life
E. Attractions of Violence on TV
F.  TV’s Power
小题1:_________
Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the new community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually know something about medicine
小题2:_________
TV isolates people in their spare time. People spend more time watching music videos but less time making music with each other. People in small town now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church circles or book clubs. When company comes, the kids are sent to the TV room with videos.
小题3:_________
Parent are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the television, the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with a grandfather.
小题4:_________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise, work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detective and murderers than exist in the real world. A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence captures viewers’ attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
小题5:_________
Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and song. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequency and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increase their fear levels about potential violence.
Watercolor（水彩画） is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cave men. They discovered that they could mix the natural colors found in the earth with water. In this way they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the wall of caves.
Fresco（壁画）, one of the greatest art forms, is done with watercolor, it is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster（灰泥）. Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelos’ works in the Sistine Chapel, very few know they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Glemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches（素描） or as tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have widely-known love for the outdoors and also for small, private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a strong attraction for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until the twentieth century. The United States took the place of England and became the center of watercolor. It produced such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
小题1: The first watercolor users were___________
A．the early cave men
B．Italian fresco artists
C．Flemish masters
D．the English artists in the 18th century
小题2: In the 16th and 17th centuries the artists thought__________.
A．watercolor was more costly, but better
B．oil painting lasted less long, but clearer and brighter
C．watercolor was not suitable for serious works
D．oil painting was difficult to use
小题3: According to the passage, watercolor painting was put back in England because ______
A．it was easy to use outdoors
B．it was a strong tool
C．it was extremely bright in color
D．it was well suited to popular tastes
小题4: What is the passage mainly about?________
A．the gradual weakness of fresco painting.
B．Oils having more power of influence over watercolor.
C．The rediscovery of watercolor in England.
D．The start and development of watercolor.
“You'll have to take care of the baby today,” a woman told her husband . “ I'm not feeling well.”
