3．W：Hi，Mr．Lee，I am （41）a reporter from the New York Times．It will be great（42）if you can tell me some information about chopsticks，（43）such as  their origin and the materials they are made from．
M：Good question．Chopsticks originated in China，but they are（44）widely （wide） used in many Asian countries．Chopsticks may be made of any of the （45）following（follow） materials：bamboo，wood，gold，silver，ivory，or plastic，and they may be（46）either either round or square．Some chopsticks are decorated （47）withcolored pictures．Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo．In ancient times，the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth．Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned．
W：OK，thank you．And I'd like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks．（48）Why not knives and forks，like Americans？
M：Oh，that is a good question．I think Chinese people choose chopsticks，rather than knives and forks，because Chinese people，under the influence of Confucianism，have traditionally （49）considered
（consider） knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence．On the other hand，chopsticks reflect （50）gentleness（gentle） and kindness．And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks．
13．Some of the most famous universities in America are urging students to consider the idea of putting off college for a year．It's caled a"gap year．"And while it's been common and popular in Australia and the U．K．for decades，the concept is now starting to gain significant steam here in America．
Why？A growing number of high school seniors are tired of riding the academic conveyor belt from preschool all the way to university．They're burnt out．Or not quite ready．Or they want to explore a few interests before deciding what to study in college．So instead of packing their bags to college，they're volunteering in New Orleans or teaching in Thailand．They're starting the great American novel，or working for a short time to help figure out what they want to do with their lives．
Understandably，that makes a lot of parents nervous．But a gap year does not mean that a student will remain degree-less forever．While there are no formal studies on the number of students who never end up making their way to college after the gap year，evidence from admissions officers across the country says very few actually leave college without finishing their courses．Taking a gap year can actually make kids more focused and ready for future academic life．In fact，Harvard University believes so much in the gap year that it encourages every student it admits to consider a year off before really starting．
The reason behind higher education's support of the gap year is clear：Better-prepared students mean higher completion rates．And it's completion that matters．Parents should remember that getting a kid into college is only half the battle．According to the College Board，three out of five students who enter a public four-year college don't manag to obtain a degree within five years．And nearly 30percent of all students who enter college don't return the second year．Considering the fact that this year's average price at a four-year private college is about $23，712per year，it's a pretty expensive place to play around．
28．Students want to take a gap year mainly becauseD．
①they want to have an experience of foreign education
②they want to escape academic pressure for a while
③they want to read more books before college
④they are not completely prepared for college
⑤they can't decide what to learn in college
A．①③④
B．①③⑤
C．②③④
D．②④⑤
29．What makes parents feel concerned about the gap year？C
A．The high cost of the gap year．
B．The safety risks outside school．
C．Their kids dropping out of college．
D．Their kids falling behind in their lessons．
30．Why do some universities encourage the gap year？C
A．It means students will have enough money to pay for college．
B．It allows students to finish college in less than four years．
C．It gets students more involved in their studies．
D．It makes students develop a competitive spirit．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the gap year？B

20．Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
  Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors，they would earn as much as￡172，000 a year．
  The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns．
  By analyzing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm．
  To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at￡48，98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the"mum jobs"，with psychologist a close second．
  The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing（投入） in time for parenting and raising relationsh ips is money well spent．
21．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister？D
A．￡30，000．
B．￡202，000．
C．￡172，000．
D．￡142，000．
22．What is stressed in the last paragraph？D
A．mothers'importance shows in family all year long．
B．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
C．Mothers'devotion to children can hardly be calculated．
D．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
23．What can we conclude from the study？B
A．Mothers'working hours should be largely reduced．
B．Mothers'labor is of a higher value than it is realized．
C．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．
17．Werewolves （狼人） aren't the only creatures affected by the moon's cycles（周期）．A full moon also affects people's sleep more or less，reports a Swiss team of scientists．Even people who sleep in a lab without windows could reduce their sleeping time a little once a month．
To test the moon's influence，33adults of both sexes and ages of many kinds spent several nights in a sleep lab．As they slept，researchers recorded their brain activity，eye movements and hormone levels （荷尔蒙水平）．On nights closer to a full moon，the sleepers took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep，and slept for 20minutes less．In addition，brain activity fell by 30percent during the sleep．And hormone levels that help control sleep cycles went down．On these nights，the sleepers complained they couldn't sleep well even though they didn't know the moon's cycle．On the bright side，no sleeper turned into a werewolf．
The Swiss team doesn't know how the moon affects sleep．The gravity （重力） of the moon causes ocean tides（潮汐）to rise and fall．But that force is too weak to affect sleep，Gajochen says．He believed some body's biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles．There may be another reason，says David Dinges．This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive（敏感的）to light at night．Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab．
32．The writer mentioned"werewolves"in the first paragraph toB．
A．show there are the moon's cycles
B．attract people's attention to the report
C．introduce a creature to readers
D．ask people not to sleep alone in the lab
33．What happened to the sleepers during the experiment on a full moon？C
A．They slept for about five minutes longer．
B．They could only sleep for 20minutes．
C．Their brains were not as active as they were
D．They complained they were too tired to sleep．
34．The last paragraph is developed mainly byA．
A．analyzing （分析） reasons
B．explaining differences
C．making comparisons
D．following the time order
35．The passage is mainly aboutC．
A．the sleeping problems caused by the moon's cycles
B．the influence of the moon on human sleeping habits
C．the moon's influence on sleeping and its possible reasons
D．the ways to get a better sleep on a full moon night．
5．Tea，the second most popular drink throughout the world and the national drink of China，is now receiving ever-growing threats from canned beverage，bottled water and instant powdered coffee or other sorts of soft drinks．Due to high-pressure competition and heavy load of work，people nowadays tend to favor drinks which are more easily processed and readily available．However，from my perspective，I believe that tea will maintain its popularity over other modern drinks．
Admittedly，beverages like cocktail or lemonade invitingly satisfy our taste buds with their exotic flavors； carbonated drinks like Cola or Sprite instantly cool us down especially when served with ice； coffee drinks like mocha or latte smoothly keep us refreshed and help us unwind．However，the tempting and lasting flavors of those drinks may be produced with many additives and preservatives．
Tea，with more choices of different tastes or kinds，offers us joy and relaxation and of course is richer in culture and healthier．Black tea or oolong tea，jasmine tea or chrysanthemum tea，whichever can find one who enjoys it and appreciates the culture involved．
It's wonderful to have a cup of my favorite tea served in exquisite tea cups on a sunny afternoon while reading through novels or just day dreaming．The warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance （香味） of herbs and flowers often quickly relieves the pressure and calms me down．
The concept of tea drinking is strongly rooted in us Chinese as an integral part of daily routine，especially for the elder generations．Every time we step into a Chinese restaurant，a teapot is a must on the table and we will be graciously received with the greetings like："Which kind of tea would you prefer？"
Tea is a healthy choice．It has unique medical and nutritional values，either relieving people's physical pain and mental stress or assisting clinical treatment of certain types of diseases or even cancer．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

81．Why do people prefer to drink other sorts of soft drinks rather than Chinese tea？Because high-pressure competition/heavy load of work makes people like easily processed drinks．/readily available drinks．
82．A lot of drinks such as Coffee，Cola，Sprite often attract us fortheir tempting and lasting flavors and keep us refreshed．/help us unwind．
83．The author has his own way to relieve his pressure，drinking the warm flow of tea mixed with the fragrance．．
84．What effective function does tea possess？It possesses unique medical and nutritional values．．
