6．At Manhattan's PS 140 students in Tony Paulino's middle school Spanish classes are exploring the geography，economics，and culture of South America，all without leaving their classroom．
    They're using the Internet to follow the One Road South team of adventures on a 14-month bicycle trip around the continent．Through a program called Reach the World，kids at 60 of the city's elementary and middle schools are getting a taste of global citizenship by following the One Road South bikers，a family traveling in Europe，a bike trek（艰苦跋涉） in Africa，and a Harlem teacher working with scientists in Antarctica through online videos，journals，and field notes．
    Sometimes，students even get to meet the travelers they are following online．Three of the four One Road South bicyclists recently visited Paulino's classes present a slide show about the places they plan to visit．
    The students jumped in with questions，asking if the travelers were afraid of wild animals，running out of food，or going for 14months without having a girlfriend．
    But Reach the World isn't just for fun．The program aims to integrate（使融入） technology into the classroom，to bring subjects like science and social studies to life，and to encourage students to think of themselves as global citizens，according to administrators．
    Their teacher，Tony Paulino，said his students are beside themselves with excitement about following the One Road South bikers．"I believe it speaks to the core desire we all share，to dream，to travel and to explore，"he said．

5．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 （繁荣）．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 live-and-death affairs．In their single-minded 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 only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal 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 true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect 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 disappear （缓解）can we discover a new meaning in competition．

51．What does this passage mainly talk about？B
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect
B．Opinions about competition are different among people
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development
D．Failures are necessary experience in competition
52．Why do some people favor competition according to the passage？A
A．It pushes society forward．
B．It builds up a sense of duty．
C．It improves personal abilities．
D．It encourages individual efforts．
53．The underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3 meansC
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly
C．those who are against competition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
54．What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a"desire to fail"？D
A．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
B．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
D．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others．
55．Which point of the view may the author agree to？D
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．Competition should be encouraged．
C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．
D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．

4．It was the summer of 1965．Deluca，then 17，visited Peter Buck，a family friend．Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future．"I'm going to college，but I need a way to pay for it，"DeLuca recalls saying．"Buck said，'You should open a sandwich shop．'"
    That afternoon，they agreed to be partners．And they set a goal：to open 32 stores in ten years．After doing some research，Buck wrote a check for﹩1，000．DeLuca rented a storefront （店面） in Connecticut，and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs，Buck kicked in another﹩1，000．
    But business didn't go smoothly as they expected．DeLuca says，"After six months，we were doing poorly，but we didn't know how badly，because we didn't have any financial controls．"All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs．
    Deluca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time．Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York．They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running．"We convinced ourselves to open a second store．We figured we could tell the public，'We are so successful，we are opening a second store．'"And they did--in the spring of 1966．Still，it was a lot of learning by trial and error．
    But the partners'learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength．Every Friday，DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers．"It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary，but as a result，the suppliers got to know me very well，and the personal relationships established really helped out．"DeLuca says．
    And having a goal was also important．"There are so many problems that can get you down．You just have to keep working toward your goal，"DeLuca adds．
     DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich，the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain．

46．DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order toD．

3．Long ago，poems were recited out loud instead of being written down．Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics，they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions．
    Now，poetry competitions have been revived．This year 120，000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest，performing poems from memory for $100，000 in prizes．
    The first competitions were held in classrooms．The winners went on to schoolwide contests，and then they competed in city and state competitions，and then the 50 state champions，along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington，D．C．，last week for the last showdown（对决）．After the 51 champions competed against one another，12 went on to the finals．Then the field was narrowed to five．The final five had one last chance to"perform"a poem．The overall champ，Jackson Hille，a high school senior from Ohio，won a $20，000 scholarship．
    The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on the page．
    It's not just a matter of saying the words in the right order．It's the tone of voice，the pauses，the gestures，and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life．"Each time we hear somebody recite a poem，we  understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it，"says National Public Radio broadcaster Scott Simon，master of ceremonies for the finals．Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener．
    Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience，memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants understand those poems in a new way．Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them for life．

41．From the first paragraph，we can knowC．
A．the Greeks were the first to write poems
B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
C．poems were spread orally in the past
D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
42．How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington，D．C．？
B
A．Three． B．Four       C．Five．    D．Six．
43．According to the passage，hearing a poem recited in a new canD．
A．bring a new life to listeners
B．help listeners find their interest
C．make listeners learn the words
D．offer something new to listeners
44．One benefit the participants get from a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that they canA．
A．become confident while speaking in public
B．write good poems themselves
C．change their attitudes towards life
D．make friends with many great poets
45．What's the best title for the passage？C

18．Eating snacks can be a good way to stop your hunger and get the vitamins your body needs．But as teenagers you need to pay attention to what you eat．Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smartly．Be careful of the health claims on food packages．Words on the package like"all natural"or"pure"don't always mean the food is good for you．Be careful of low-fat food claims，too．If the fat has been cut back，the amount of sugar in the food may have been increased to keep the food tasting good．Many low-fat foods have nearly as many calories as their full-fat versions．Here are some ways to make healthy snacking part of your everyday routine．
★Keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home，so you can take them with you when you go out．
★Satisfy your cravings with healthier foods．If you are crazy about chocolate，try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar．If you want something salty，eat whole grain biscuits instead of potato chips．Besides，it is wise for you to replace ice-cream with yogurt．
★Pay attention to the amount you eat．As with everything，moderation（适度）is the key to smart snacking．

The passage informs teenagers of the necessity to choose healthy and moderate snacks，which is beneficial to their health，as well as some ways to make healthy snacks part of their daily life．（高分句型一）
As we know，some snacks are high in fat or sugar．Taking too much fat can result in obesity．To much fat in a human body is likely to cause various diseases，including high blood pressure，high blood sugar and heart disease．（高分句型二）Worse still，teenagers who are troubled by weight problems may also lack confidence in communicating with others，which can result in psychological problems．（高分句型三）Thus，I suggest that those who are crazy aboutsnacks should eat snacks when it is necessary．For example，when they feel hungry after taking exercise，they can have some healthysnacks，such as fresh fruit and yogurt．These foods can add the calories or nutrients they need and are low in fat．．

17．As anyone who freelances（做自由职业）knows，there are lots of advantages of working at home alone．But there are drawbacks too，like the potential loneliness．No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular：they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment，while making them get some work done too．But renting a co-working space does cost money．
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people's under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces，available to freelancers for free．Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together．It was a great success，and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe，North and South America，Australia，India and Japan．Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space，or go find a Hoffice near them．
On a Hoffice day，everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour．After 45 minutes，everyone gets up to take a break，stretch，do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes．Afterwards，people can gather around again，and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day，as a way to motivate I each other．Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour，potluck-style（家常饭）or by bringing your own lunch．
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment．As some freelancers describe，"By working at Hoffice，we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment，where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs．We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm，happy，inspired and creative during the working day．"
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space； it's also about a free exchange of ideas．And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use．

4．Hoffice was started toB
A．change people's attitude to work
B．provide a co-working space for free
C．improve people's working conditions
D．encourage people to be more social
5．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？D
A．How people respond to Hoffice
B．What Hoffice means to people
C．What people share at Hoffice
D．How a Hoffice day works．
6．Some freelancers'descriptions of Hoffice suggest that theyC
A．work longer than before
B．can't be separated from each other
C．benefit a lot from the working style
D．expect more people to join them
7．What do we know about Hoffice according to the text？A
A．It has been popular in many countries for many years
B．It has created many new job opportunities
C．It focus on ont only environment but also human needs
D．It is suitable for people from all walks of life．
