1.In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs.In their singleminded pursuit of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition.Among the most opinions are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse:"I may have lost,but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try."What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to fade away can we discover a new meaning in competition.
32.What does this passage mainly talk about?A
A.Opinions about competition are different among people.
B.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
33.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?D
A.It builds up a sense of duty.
B.It encourages individual efforts.
C.It improves personal abilities.
D.It pushes society forward.
34.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a"desire to fail"?B
A.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.
B.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.
C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One's success in competition needs great efforts.
35.Which point of view may the author agree to?B
A.Every effort should be paid back.
B.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
C.Competition should be encouraged.
D.Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter.

11.Many parents sometimes feel they resemble an ATM machine to their children.They want to ask for advice about giving pocket money to their children.So how much is appropriate?(16)CYou can start by listing items they want to spend their pocket money on.This exercise will vary depending on the child's age but it is a good guide to help you to decide what amount is appropriate.
 It is important that you don't hand out extra money throughout the week.This will help the child to budge and manage their spending.(17)BHowever,leaving them to do without anything will encourage them to manage their pocket money more carefully the next time.
As part of the pocket money agreement,you might list the items that the child must complete in order to"earn"the pocket money.(18)EAt least one task should be for the general household.The same is true for teenagers.They are older and can take on more responsibilities so this should be reflected in the tasks they are assigned.(19)F No matter how difficult it is for you to not give the pocket money if the agreed tasks are not completed,you must stick to the agreement.Remember,you are teaching your child basic skills in managing money and earning rewards.These skills will be of great benefit to your child throughout their life!
Finally,when it comes to teenagers,keep a close watch on how they are managing their money.If your teenager is using too much of their pocket money too quickly,talk to them about it.(20)DThis way,you can be conscious that the money is not being used for drink or worse,drugs.

A.They want to have what their peers have.
B.It may be hard to refuse to give them more money.
C.It is best to get the child involved in agreeing the amount with you.
D.You need to keep a close check on what the money is being spent on.
E.The task should be appropriate to their age in terms of safety and their ability.
F.As with all parenting situations,the golden rule is that you must follow through.
G.The amount saved can be used to purchase treats such as sweets or a magazine.
12.Parents whose children think the latest Nike or Adidas shoes may be better than buying old-fashioned plimsolls (橡胶底帆布鞋) because they encourage a healthier style of running,researchers said.
Big companies,like Nike and Adidas,make millions of dollars from selling highly-cushioned shoes(厚增高的运动鞋) both as fashion and sports shoes.The researchers warn that wearing such shoes from an early age can make it difficult to run in a healthy way.Once we have grown used to running in this kind of shoes,it is very difficult to change our technique,even if we remove our shoes,it can raise the risk of injury.
Children should be encouraged to wear shoes with thin soles such as plimsolls from a young age to help them develop a natural"barefoot"running style,experts said.
Dr Mick Wilknson,who did the research,told the British Science Festival in Newcastle,"If I would advise someone on what to give their child,I would say don't go and buy them expensive Adidas or Nike,just get them a pair of flexible,flat shoes.Give them basic foot-ware,nothing fancy,nothing particularly cushioned."
Running in flat shoes,barefoot,encourages the runner to use the front of their foot which is a better technique for running,especially long distances as the human was designed to do.
Around the world,and in particular in the US,running barefoot is becoming more and more popular with many long distance runners training without shoes.
Dr Mick Wilknson believes that training and running barefoot or in flat running shoes can help reduce injuries to runners,he said:"Injury rates in running have not changed since the 1970s,despite claims of improvements in running shoes.That has led some to conclude that barefoot running is better."

29.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?B
A.Nike and Adidas are producing low-quality trainers.
B.It is improper to wear hi-tech Trainers at an early age.
C.It is unnecessary to buy hi-tech Trainers at an early age.
D.Hi-tech Trainers are too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
30.Why are people advised to wear plimsolls?C
A.They have a new fashion              
B.They have better quality.
C.They are healthier.
D.They are cheaper.
31.What can we infer according to Dr Mick Wilknson?B
A.Shoes industry is gradually declining(下降).
B.Barefoot running is more popular with people.
C.Plain plimsolls will be replaced by barefoot running.
D.People mustn't run without shoes for a long distance.
32.Who is the passage written mainly for?D
A.The boss of shoes shop                
B.The runner of long distance
C.The boss of producing shoes            
D.The parents of young children.
9.Since the 1970s,scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers.Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities to send orders to machines.
Recently,two researchers,Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne,Switzerland,showed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts.
In the laboratory,Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand.He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
"Our brain has billions of nerve cells.These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move.But spinal cord injuries or other cases can prevent these weak signals from reaching the muscles,"Tavella says."Our system allows disabled people to communicate with the outside world and also to control machines."
The researchers designed a special cap for the user.This cap picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer.The computer interprets the signals and commands the robotic wheelchair.The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path.They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
Prof.Milan,the team leader says his team has set two goals.One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from.And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.

32.How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?D
A.By controlling his muscles.
B.By talking to the machine.
C.By moving his hand.
D.By using his mind.
33.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?C
A.scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B.computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C.scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D.cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
34.The team will test with real patients toB.
A.make profits from them         B.prove the technology useful to them
C.make them live longer          D.learn about their physical condition
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?C
A.Switzerland,the BCI Research Center
B.New Findings About How the Human Brain Works
C.BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D.Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries.
