It is well known that the policemen have played a key role and made significant contributions in the situations of bushfires each year.

The policeman got out of his car, walked over and asked me to show my driver’s license.
Worst came to worst, I realized that I left my driver’s license with the wallet at home.
27 , it was only about 1 km away from my home. I nervously asked for permission to leave my son with the car there and rush home by myself to get the license. By 28 my son and me he believed my honesty. 29 leaving, the policeman told me to always follow the traffic rules in the future and keep my driver’s license with me 30 . I’ll surely never forget the lesson.

A
What should college life be like? Easy, joyful and funny.
Unfortunately, concerned about instability in the job market, many students are worried about facing an ever more uncertain future and consequently they have begun to feel lost, according to a survey. The survey, conducted by the Social Survey Institute of China, covers more than 2,000 college students from big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai.
Tapping into (利用) this vast network of students, the survey revealed about 75 percent enjoy their lives on campus, feel free from restraints (限制) and are filled with enthusiasm. Nevertheless, 16.7 percent “lost ones” of the students refer to life as boring and aimless while 8.3 percent complain about the heavier study load they must now bear. Undoubtedly, pressure exists, and 75 percent of the students are worried about finding a job upon graduation. Around half of all participants have no clear career plan after graduation and a high 41.7 percent admit they have not thought about it. Only 8.3 percent have a clear idea of what they want to do and are confident of achieving their hopes and dreams.
The question “Are you a popular guy” seemed to provoke a mixed response from participants with 58.3 percent answering positively, leaving 41.7 percent as unsure, 91.7 percent of the students thought they got along very well with others, the final 8.3 percent finding it difficult to choose a particular answer. Independent answers such as “do things in your own way” and “forget other people’s opinions” seemed to be popular among modern college students with 75 percent conforming more or less to this attitude. 25 percent alone admitted to worrying about comments from other people.
The survey also discovered a strong feeling of confidence among students when dealing with interpersonal relationships and that personalities were slightly influenced by the surrounding environment. Most students criticized the phenomenon of suicide on campus. 58.3 percent urged authorities to discover hidden social reasons behind suicide, thus helping to prevent it. 33.3 percent thought students who try to commit suicide will not be able to face life’s bigger challenges in the future even if they survive. Surprisingly, 8.3 percent confessed that they once wanted to kill themselves, but finally decided against it.

Each of us would like to believe that we're immune to the effects of advertising and commercialism. Yet are we really immune? A lot of evidence suggests that we are influenced by advertising and commercialism. Think about the nationally-advertised products we buy, the style of our clothes, the kinds of food we eat. In these ways and others, our lives reflect the ads around us.
Some people are concerned about all the advertising we're exposed to. They feel that the constant message trying to persuade us to buy influences us in ways that are not to our benefit. One concern is that the message trying to persuade us to buy overshadows other messages about helping each other, caring for our environment, and contributing to the community.
Commercialism has clear parallels with industrial pollution. For decades we failed to recognize, let alone control, the harm caused by industrial practices. In some cases, such as air pollution from coal-burning factories, the problems were obvious but were either ignored or judged on the basis of short-term economic gain. In other cases, such as poisonous chemicals that pollute the air and water, the dangers were not even recognized. So it is with commercialism: We excuse its obvious defects (缺点) in the name of economic progress; we don't even try to identify its more subtle effects.
Again as with pollution several decades ago, the consequences of excessive commercialism remain unexamined and unproven. Despite the dominance (主导) of commercialism in our culture, social scientists have barely begun to explore its nature and its consequences. Moreover, government regulatory programs are inadequate to contain commercialism.
What,then, is the impact on our society, when, as Advertising Age wrote, “mass-media advertising explodes out of a shotgun and sprays everyone in its path, kids included”? And beyond advertising, what are the effects of living in a culture where even schools, museums, sports and non-commercial broadcasters have been commercialized? Does commercialism turn engaged citizens into mere consumers?
46. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. The effects of commercialism.
B. The influence of ads on us.
C. The relationship between ads and commercialism.
D. People's attitudes towards ads and commercialism.
47. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. People are immune to the effects of advertising and commercialism.
B. People are greatly influenced by advertising and commercialism.
C. Advertising and commercialism is a necessary part of life.
D. Advertising and commercialism satisfies our needs.
48. The author believes that commercialism .
A. is necessary for economic gain B. should be stopped by the government
C. can't dominate our culture D. brings about industrial pollution
49. The author's tone when talking about social scientists is _________.
A. approving B. critical C. understandable D. ironic
50. The last paragraph is mainly intended to show the author's _________.
A. concern B. doubt C. disappointment D. dissatisfaction
C
It has been long known that boys in the United States and around the world do not read or write as well as girls. There are several reasons:
● Girls mature more quickly.
● Boys are more likely to suffer reading disorders.
● Race and poverty play a role.
But a new study finds that the problem cuts across socioeconomic (社会经济的) lines and pins part of the blame directly on schools, whose techniques are suitable for the strengths of girls and leave boys completely disinterested.
Can’t read a newspaper
Nearly one-quarter of high school seniors across the United States who are sons of white, college-educated parents have bad reading skills, ranking “below basic” on a national standardized test. These boys cannot read a newspaper. And the problem is getting worse.
According to 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress, 26.3 percent of high school seniors scored below basic in reading skills. 23 percent of white sons of college-educated parents scored below basic, up from 13 percent in 1992.
Lack of motivation
The problem is partly developmental. Girls mature more quickly than boys. They enter school with bigger vocabularies, so it’s easier for them to learn to write. And as boys enter high school, their motivation goes down. Many boys are disengaging from school. Boys are far less likely than girls to do homework..
What schools should learn
Here’s a fascinating fact. There is no literacy(读写能力) gap in home-schooled boys and girls. Why? In school, teachers focus on reading literature and talking about character and feelings. This way of teaching reading does not turn boys on. Boys prefer reading nonfiction, such as history and adventure books. When they are taught at home, parents are more likely to let them follow their interests.
51. What’s the passage mainly talking about?
A.The defference between boys and girls in reading skills.
B. The environment for boys and girls to study in.
C. The reasons for boys and girls’ defference in reading skills.
D. The different results between the past and present studies.
52. According to the new research, boys don’t read or write as well as girls because ______.
A. it is related to their race and poverty B. boys suffer reading disorders while girls don’t.
C. girls are more liked by school teachers D. school’ reding is more suitable for girls
53. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragragh 10?
A. Many boys are leaving school ahead of time. B. Many boys don’t like to do homework.
C. Many boys are losing their interest in school. D. Many boys don’t like to go to high school.
54. Paragragh 8 is written to prove that boys’ reading skills in well-educated families ______.
A. are better than ones in any other families B. are getting better and better
C. are all below the average D. are getting worse
55. According to the passage, which of the following advice agrees with the new study?
A. Boys’ age of entering school should be put off.
B. Schools shoud adjust their teaching materials.
C. Reading literature should be forbidden.
D. Boys should not be taught by their parents.

阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填入答题卷上标号为56~60的相应位置上。
以下是关于吸烟问题的几个观点：
A. Smoking is sure to cause diseases. Just have a look at those people with diseases in hospital and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.
B. We have to admit that the tobacco industry contributes a lot to many countries’ economies. It also creates job opportunities. But it’s harmful to people in the long run. It’s a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.
C. Non-smokers absorb nicotine and other harmful chemicals just as smokers do.This is an especially bad situation for children--- some of them absolutely have no choice but to be passive smokers and to have lungs that are not as healthy as a normal child’s.
D. Despite all the strict laws against smoking, the statistics have shown that more young people are lighting up. While it was absolutely a taboo for a woman to smoke before, now it’s quite common to see young girls smoking. Many even walk arond with a lighted cigarette in one hand.
E. However, smokers may feel a certain amount of pressure. On the one hand, they might feel guilty about the amount of money they spend on cigarettes each month, which could have been put to much better use, but on the other hand, they may also feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of them.
F. Smoking can provide constant consolation. When people feel worried or nervous, they just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day’s hard work, what they want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than drinking a cup of coffee.
以下是个人对吸烟的认识。请匹配个人的认识与其所对应的观点。
56. Christopher: As a matter of fact, smokers are under a great deal of pressure, not only because they spend so much money on cigarettes but also because they don’t think people around them are tolerant enough of them.
57. Amanda: If you smoke and you still don’t believe that there’s a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, you are certainly deceiving yourself.
58. Harrison: Smoking brings some psychological benefits. Most smokers feel it’s enjoyable and that it can relieve daily stress. So why must we ban it and take away a lot of people’s pleasure?
59. Brandon: Forbidden fruits always taste sweetest. That is to say, the stricter the laws against smoking are, the more people want to smoke. What worries me is that more young people are beginning to smoke.
60. Douglas: If there were some ways to stop a smoker from affecting others, I wouldn’t object to smoking! Secondhand smoke does great harm to non-smokers especially to children, who are much more sensitive than adults.

Possible Version 1:
More than 2,500 years ago in China, a famous scholar and his disciple couldn’t enter a city because the city gate had been closed. They had to stay outside the city for the night. At midnight it suddenly began to snow and they were dying of cold. In order to survive, the scholar asked his disciple to lend him his coat, but was refused at once. Since neither of them was willing to help the other, both died of cold before dawn.
We can learn from the story that we cannot force others to do what they don’t want to do or that there are some tests in life that not everyone can pass.
Possible Version 2:
More than 2,500 years ago in China, a famous scholar and his disciple couldn’t enter a city because the city gate had been closed. They had to stay outside the city for the night. At midnight it suddenly began to snow and they were dying of cold. In order to survive, the scholar asked his disciple to lend him his coat, but was refused at once. Disappointedly, the scholar put his own coat on his disciple, and finally died of cold before dawn.
We can learn from the story that we cannot always expect others to be as noble as ourselves.

One possible version:
My views on watching TV
Watching TV has many advantages. It’s a good way to help us relax. TV makes it possible for us to see many kinds of entertainments in a short time, and watching TV helps us learn a lot.
From my point of view, watching TV has a lot of advantages, but also some disadvantages. On the one hand, watching TV helps us relax and enjoy ourselves. What’s more, it can help us gain a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned from our textbooks. On the other hand, watching TV takes up a lot of our time. And it does great harm to our eyes if we watch it for too long.
I suppose middle school students can watch TV after they finish their homework or during weekends and holidays, but we must first ensure that our studies are going well. Good learners can combine studying and watching TV. Watching TV can be both educational and entertaining.
