书面表达One possible version:

Dear Editor,

　　 Now video games are very popular among the school students. Some students are so interested in the game that they spend all day on it. Sometimes they forget to do their homework and even play truant. In order to play video games they often ask their parents for money or borrow money from other students, or even steal money from their classmates, which brings out very bad effects. Playing video games too much not only costs time, money as well as energy but also leads to the way to violence . Just the owners benefit a lot while there’s nothing good for the students both in their study and health.

　　 I do hope measures will be taken by the government to prevent students from playing video games. Thank you.

　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yours ever,

　Lin Tao

The Chinese-born American architect Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most creative architects of our times. He has incorporated both eastern and western ideas into his designs.

Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker. In 1935, at the age of 17, he came to the United States to study architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1942, he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy selected Pei to design the Kennedy library. After that he became well-known all of the world. People named it one of the Ten Best Buildings in the United States. In 1968, Pei started work on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C.. Over one million people visited the building during its first 50 days in existence.

Following the East Wing project Pei's fame has continued to grow widely. In 1983, French President commissioned(委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the completion of Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, "the greatest challenge and greatest accomplishment of my career." At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted "third way of making buildings." Avoiding both a complete copying of traditional Chinese motifs(特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed, at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent(有说服力的) statements.

Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world. In 1990, Pei was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George Bush for his contributions to world peace and service to the US government.

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?

　　 According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.

　 　The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.

　　 Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.

　　 “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),”he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”

　　 The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.　

63. The main subject talked about in this passage is _________.　

A. science on learning a second language　　　

B. man's ability of learning a second language　

C. language can help brain power　　　　　　

D. language learning and math study　

64. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_________.

A. say language is also a kind of physical labor　

B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language　

C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language　

D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well　

65. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means_________.　

A. a researcher on language learning

B. a second language learner　

C. a person who can speak two languages

D. an active language learner 　

66. We may know from the scientific findings that_________.　

A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is

B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn't know a second language　

C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people's brain

D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

Whether you’re taking a trip alone or with your family, it’s easier to get sick when you’re in a new place because your body hasn’t had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air in a new environment. Read the following tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.

Safe foods and drinks

　 　What foods are safe to eat? Foods that have been boiled are generally safe, as well as fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Avoid eating uncooked or undercooked meat.

　 　Stay away from foods that require a lot of handling before serving.

　 　Drink only bottled water when traveling. If you have to use the tap water, you should boil it first.

You can take it with you

　 　When you’re packing, taking some painkiller and diarrhea medicine is a good idea. It’s also a good idea to pack some allergy (过敏) medicine even if you don’t take it at home, because people sometimes unexpectedly develop allergic reactions in a new environment.

Write it all down

　 　Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information:

1.your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent’s daytime phone number.

2.your blood type

3.a list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS

4.a list of current medicines you are taking

　 　5.a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals

　 　6. the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent.

　 　It also helps if you have some basic emergency medical knowledge, not only for yourself but also for helping others you may be traveling with. A great way to prepare for your trip is to take a first-aid or basic life support course before you go; if you’re traveling with a group, you should know where the first-aid kit is and what’s in it.

60. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Some travel tips B. Danger of travel　 C. Travel experience 　D. First aid in travel

61. According to the passage before you travel you’d better write the phone number of the following EXCEPT ______.
