9．Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever，even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started．Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country．In fact，according to an official report on youth violence，"In our country today，the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment，but the terrible reality of violence"．Given that this is the case，why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems，drive cars，or stay physically fit？
First of all，students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable．A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult．For example，a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime．Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults，which in turn can lead to violence．The problem isn't in the sandwich，but in the way students deal with the conflict．
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable，they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution：stay calm．Once the student feels calmer，he or slid should choose words that will calm the other person down as well．Rude words，name-calling，and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire．On the other hand，soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control．
After both sides have calmed down，they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution：listening．Listening allows the two sides to understand each other．One person should describe his or her side，and the other person should listen without interrupting．Afterward，the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position．Then the two people should change roles．
Finally，students need to consider what they are hearing．This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person．It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish．For example，a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things．Students need to ask themselves questions such as these：How did this start？What do I really want？What am I afraid of？As the issue becomes clearer，the conflict often simply becomes smaller．Even if it doesn't，careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution．
There will always be conflict in schools，but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence．After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program，according to Educators for Social Responsibility，"64% of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom； 75% of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation； and 92% of the students felt better about themselves"．Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends，teachers，parents，bosses，and coworkers．In that way，conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country．

8．Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you've visited，Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits．
In fact，it's likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission？It might be a spouse，a girl friend，a marketing company，a boss，a cop or a criminal．Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen---the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked．
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy，that it's important to reveal yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times．But few boundaries remain．The digital bread crumbs （碎屑） you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like．In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think．Like it or not，increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret．
The key question is：Does that matter？
For many Americans，the answer apparently is"no．"
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy，most say they are concerned about losing it．A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy，with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away，and that bothers me．"
But people say one thing and do another．Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy．Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收费站） to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements．And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards．Privacy economist Alessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon （优惠卷）．
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes．It's like health：When you have it，you don't notice it．Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it．

B．In the 21st century people try every means to look into others'secrets．

6．There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future．Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves．
London
London's flood defences are getting older．Since 1982，the Thames Barrier（水闸） has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030and close once every two or three years．About 21years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions，by 2050the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed．
There are 26underground stations，400schools，16hospitals，an airport and 80billion worth of property in London's flood risk area，so large scale flooding would be disastrous．
Paris
Over a sixweek period in July and August 2008，more than 11400-mainly elderly people-died in France from dehydration （脱水） and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave．Heat waves of similar intensity （强度） are expected every seven years by 2050，so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again？
One solution is to have airconditioners installed in elderly care homes．But this is considered a shortterm solution，as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions．
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building"Flower Tower"，which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural airconditioner．
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth．It has a population of 18million and is only 4meters above sea level．Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20cm within the next century．
An estimated 250，000people move to Shanghai every year in search of work，placing extra demands on energy consumption．China relies heavily on coalfired power stations，but these emissions increase temperatures and，in turn，warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons．

56．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Big Cities Facing Big Disasters
B．Big Disasters in the Future
C．The Increase of Natural Disasters
D．Solutions to Natural Disasters
57．What problem should be settled now in London？D
A．How to protect the city's property．
B．Where to build its flood defences．
C．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city．
D．How to improve the function of the old flood defences．
58．Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris？C
A．Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo．
B．Having airconditioners installed in elderly care homes．
C．Forbidding the city to build"Flower Tower"．
D．Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings．

5．He is such a lazy man _______ nobody wants to work with ______．（　　）

4．Kieron Williamson，a seven-year-old British boy，is being recognized as an art genius（天才） after selling 16paintings for 18，000pounds in just 14minutes．This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons（相比，对比） to Pablo Picasso，a child prodigy（神童） who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century．
It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall on the southwest English coast when Kieron was five．Inspired by the beautiful view，he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad （速写纸）．From that moment on，he became deeply interested．While supportive，Kieron's parents are careful not to push their son．He only paints when and what he wants．
He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in．His father said a sale of Kieron's works held in November even drew a buyer from Japan．"We had people driving down that night，there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside，the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o'clock and within 14minutes all the 16pictures had gone，"he said．
All this talent，money and high praise could so easily go to a young boy's head，but Kieron said his friends keep him grounded．"Some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think…Umn，‘you are not too special'．"he said．
Kieron's favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings buying a work by his hero．The rest is being invested（投资） by his parents until he reaches 25．Kieron's parents and his younger sister Billi-Jo don't see him as anything but a average seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and who's mad about football．But for now，with so much still to learn，there's only one thing he wants to be when he grows up．He said，"I think I'll be an artist．"

67．According to Paragraph 1，we can know Kieron WilliamsonB．
A．became famous before selling 16paintings
B．shows special skill at painting
C．is the envy of Picasso and other painters
D．draws better than Picasso did
68．Which of the following is the main reason which made Kieron Williamson begin to love painting？D

3．To be a good teacher，you need some of the gifts of a good actor； you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience； you must be a clear speaker，with a good，strong，pleasant voice which is fully under your control（控制）； and you must be able to act what you are teaching，in order to make its meaning clear．
Watch a good teacher，and you will see that he doesn't sit still before his class； he stands the whole time he is teaching； he walks about，using his arms，hands and fingers to help him in his explanations，and his face to express feelings．
There are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's．The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart； he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part，even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand．What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage．A good teacher works in quite a different way．His audience take an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions，they obey orders，and if they don't understand anything，they say no．The teacher can't learn his part by heart，but must invent it as he goes along．
I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can't keep strictly to what another has written．

63．According to the pasaage，a good teacher should NOTD．
A．hold the attention and interest of his audience
B．speak with a good，strong and pleasant voice
C．speak clearly to his audience in class
D．sit still while using his body language

A．speaks words which he has learnt by heart
B．can change his voice if necessary
C．makes all words and actions seem natural
D．must able to take part in a stage-play
65．The word"beforehand"underlined in the third paragraph is closest in the meaning toA．
A．ahead of time B．later C．recently D．since then
66．The best little for the passage is likely to beD．
A．A good teacher and a good actor
B．A good teacher's guidance
C．A good teacher's knowledge
D．How to be a good teacher．
