5． I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net． I often check my e-mail f——青夏教育精英家教网—

5．"I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net．"
"I often check my e-mail forty times a day．"
"I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net．"
"I spend more time in chat rooms than with my‘real-1ife'friends．"
Do you know any people like these？They are part of a new addiction（瘾） called Internet addiction．Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use．People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet．
For example，one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried，and they called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab：he was surfing the net for several days straight．
Studies show that about 6to 10% of Internet users become addicted．And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them．They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family．
Is"surfing the net"a hobby or an addiction for you？You may have a problem if you have these symptoms （症状）：
●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet．
●You can't wait for your next online time．
●You plan to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．
●You go out with your friends less and less．

64．Are there many people who immerse （沉浸） themselves in surfing the Internet？Yes．
65．How does the writer describe the addicts'use of Internet？It is like taking drugs
66．How many symptoms of Internet addiction did the writer describe？4/Four
67．What does the underlined word cyberspace mean？网络空间
68．What can we learn from the passage？Don't be addicted to the Internet．Try to spend more time in the real world of friends and family．

4．Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana （加纳），Africa．It is hard for her family to get clean water．Every morning，she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away．It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking．She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends．Millions of people in the world are like Napoga．They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy．
Earth Day is April 22．But on all other days，we must also remember it．The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth．
Water covers 70% of the earth's surface．But most of that is sea water．We can't use it for very many things．Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface．
You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's．But that doesn't mean you don't have to worry about water．We all face serious water problems．One of them is water pollution．All kinds of things from cars，factories，farms and homes make our rivers，lakes，and oceans dirty．Polluted water is very bad for people to drink．And dirty water is bad for fish，too．Now，34% of all kinds of fish are dying out．
How do cars and factories make our water dirty？First，they pollute the air．Then，when it rains，the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty．Dirty rain，called acid rain （酸雨），is also bad for plants，animals and buildings．
Scientists say that in 30years，more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water．We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children．Here is some advice for saving water：
●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth．You can save as much as 450liters each month．
●Leaky taps （漏水的龙头） waste a lot of water．Fix them right away!
●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half-and you'll be just as clean．
●When you wash dishes，don't let the water run．
●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash．If your washing machine isn't full，you're wasting water!

2．People love oranges as they are sweet and juicy．They are in sections so it's easy to eat them．Some oranges don't have any seeds．Some have a thick skin and some have a thin skin．
The orange tree is very beautiful．It has a lot of shiny green leaves．The small white flowers smell very sweet．An orange tree has flowers and fruits at the same time．
There were orange trees forty hundred years ago．The oranges were very small，not like the ones today．The earliest orange trees probably came from China．Many different kinds of oranges are raised there today．
Farmers in other parts of Asia and the Middle East learned to raise oranges from the Chinese．Then they taught Europeans．The Spanish planted orange trees in the New World （North and South America） and took them to Florida first．
"Orange"is both a fruit and a color．The color of oranges is so beautiful that in English we use the name of the fruit for its color．

1．Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be．Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night．And on the Internet，the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant．A half century ago in the United states，most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time．Today the dividing lines are still there，but they seem not clear．
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday； in most，it no longer does．It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer，in most，it still does．And whether the work week should strengthen its legal（法律的）limits，or whether it should become more changeable，is often debated（争论）．How should we，as a society，organize our time？Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other？
These are not easy questions even to ask．Part of the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face．We know as children that we have to go to school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer（学监），we may well think that we should go to school because of social custom and parents'requirement rather than to the law．As adults we know"extra pay for overtime working"very well，but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成）"overtime"is a matter of legal thing．When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time，have we ever thought to ourselves："Here is the law in action"？As we shall see，there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time：compulsory education law，overtime law，and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing，holidays，being late to work，time zones，and so on．Once we begin to look for it，we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess．

56．What does the underlined word"irrelevant"probably mean？C
A．Impossible．
B．Unacceptable．
C．Unimportant．
D．Disagreeable．

58．We can learn from the passage that most children go to school because theyD．
A．have to follow the law
B．need to find social customs
C．need to learn more knowledge
D．have to follow their parents'requirement
59．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Our life is governed by the law of time．
B．How to use time is not worth debating．
C．New ways of using time change our society．
D．Our time table is decided by social customs．

20．Even though global warming may have made the weather more mild，many animals are still hibernating（冬眠）．It's too bad that humans can't hibernate．In fact we almost did．
Apparently，at times in the past，farmers in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation．So writes Graham Robb，a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French farmers．As soon as the weather turned cold，people all over the France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months．
In line with this，Jeff Warren，a producer at CBC Radio's The Current，tells us that the way we sleep has changed since the invention of lighting．
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages，they noticed something referred to as"first sleep"，which was not clarified，though．Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods．The business of eight hours'continuous sleep is a modern invention．
In the past，without the artificial light，humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves up around midnight．The late night period was known as"The Watch"．It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals，although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbors．
According to some sleep researchers，a short of insomnia（失眠）at midnight is not a disorder．It is normal．Humans can experience another state of consciousness（清醒状态）around their sleeping，which happens in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning．This period can be a creative time for some people．
Playing with your sleep rhythms（节奏）can be dangerous，as worry may set in．Medical science doesn't help much in this case．It offers us medicines for a full night's continuous sleep，which sounds natural； however，according to Warren's theory，it is really the opposite of what we need．

A．to set time to catch animals
B．to remind others of the time
C．to guard against possible dangers
D．to wake up their family and neighbors

A．sleep in the way animals do
B．follow their natural sleep rhythms
C．keep to the eight-hour sleeping way
D．ask doctors for help if they can't sleep
55．What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage？A
A．To throw new light on human sleep．
B．To encourage people to sleep less．
C．To give some suggestions on insomnia．
D．To find out people's hibernating history．

19．What do you want to be when you grow up？A teacher？A doctor？How about an ice-cream taster？
Yes，there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream．Just ask John Harrison，an"Official Taste Tester"for the past 2l years．Harrison's job has been responsible for approving（批准）large numbers of the sweet ice cream-as well as for developing over 15flavors（味道）．
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job； after all，you just have to like ice cream，right？No-there's more to the job than that，says Harrison，who has a degree in chemistry．He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a job in this"cool field"．
In a typical morning on the job，Harrison tastes and grades 60ice-cream samples．He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12°F．Harrison explains，"You get more flavor from warmer ice cream，which is why some kids like to stir it，creating ice-cream soup．"
While the ice cream warms up，Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance．"Tasting begins with the eyes，"he explains．He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself，"Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor？"Next it's time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas，try out new flavors and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working at one cool job．

50．What is John Harrison's job？B
A．An officer．
B．An ice-cream taster．
C．A chemist．
D．An ice-cream producer．
51．According to John Harrison，what is useful to get a job in"cool field"？D
A．To just like ice cream．
B．To find out new flavors each day．
C．To have new ideas every day．
D．To have a degree in food-science．
52．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream？B
A．He smells it．
B．He lets it warm up．
C．He tastes its flavor．
D．He examines its colour．

18．When students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance，the arts are usually at the bottom of the list．Music is nice，people seem to say，but not important．Too often it is only viewed as entertainment，but certainly not an education priority（优先）．This view is shortsighted．In fact，music education is very important for all students．
Music tells us who we are．Because music is an expression of the beings who create it，it shows their thinking and values，as well as the social environment it came from．Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song．The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions．Music expresses our character and values．It gives us identity（身份，特性）as a society．
Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way．Science can explain how the sun rises and sets．The arts can express the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same thing．We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason：No one way can get it all．
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols．They are ways we human beings"talk"to each other．They are the language through which we express our fears，our hungers，our discoveries，our hopes．The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others．When we do not give children an important way of expressing themselves such as music，we take away from them the meanings that music expresses．
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human．The arts do．Music is an important way we express human suffering，celebration，the value of peace and love．
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize．

56．What can we learn from Paragraph 1？A
A．Students regard music as a way of entertainment．
B．Students disagree with their parents on education．
C．Students take music as an important subject．
D．Students prefer the arts to science．
57．In Paragraph 2，the writer uses jazz as an example toB．
A．compare it with rock music
B．show music identifies a society
C．introduce American musical traditions
D．prove music influences people's lifestyles
58．According to the passage，the arts and scienceA．
A．explain the world in different ways
B．explain different facts of the world
C．express people's feelings in different ways
D．explain what it means to be human differently
59．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Music education is worth more attention．
B．Music should be of top education priority．
C．Music is really a good communication tool．
D．Music education makes students more imaginative．

17．To err is human．To blame（责备） the other guy is even more human．
Common sense is not all that common．
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse？
These three popular misquotes（戏谑的引语）are meant to be jokes，and yet they tell us a lot about human nature．To err，or to make mistakes，is indeed a part of being human，but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem．Perhaps it is the natural thing to do．The original quote about human nature went like this："To err is human，to forgive，divine（神圣的）．"This saying mirrors an ideal：People should be forgiving of others'mistakes．Instead，we tend to do the opposite-find someone else to pass the blame on to．However，taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity（成熟）．
Common sense is what we call clear thought．Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well，and it also means staying with the plan．Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm，but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies，because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything．People say that in a large company，"the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing．"
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art？One of the common problems with making excuses is that people，especially young people，get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time．There is a corollary（直接推论）to that：if a good excuse is"good"even if it isn't honest，then where is the place of the truth？

53．Which of the following is NOT based on common sense？D
A．A secretary works to a timetable．
B．A company's next move follows a good plan．
C．A girl goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather．
D．A man tries to manage everything in a large company．
54．What can we infer from the last paragraph according to the writer？C
A．A good excuse is the same as honesty．
B．Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas．
C．Unpleasant truth is better than a good excuse．
D．Making a good excuse is sometimes a better idea．
55．What would be the best title for this passage？A
A．A Mirror of Human Nature
B．To Blame or to Forgive
C．A Mark of Maturity
D．Truth or Excuse．

16．It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve．So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school？
Japan
High schools have canteens，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not burgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，pickles（泡菜） and vegetables．
Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value．Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food．The class with the fewest leftovers（剩饭） at the end of the month receives a prize．
United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances（定量） of protein，vitamin A，vitamin C，iron，calcium and calories．
Australia
Meat pies，sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children's health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．
Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red-labelled foods，including pastries，chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi，sandwiches，corn and watermelon，however，are available every day．
In some schools，students have a choice of up to 89foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．
South Africa
Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at 1：30pm and students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sandwiches．
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition（营养）．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes．

Schools serve different foods in different （62）countries．
Japan	In high schools，children can buy everything，such as noodles and rice．But they can't buy burgers and （63）chipsfrom canteens． Some children （64）bringfood from their homes． The class will get a prize if they have the （65）fewestleftovers in a （66）month．
United States	Children can get （67）one-thirdof daily nutrition from their lunch at school．
（68）Auatralia	School shops （69）providestudents with traditional dishes． The sale of green-labelled foods is served every day，（70）butRed-labelled foods are sold once a week．
South Africa	Students like eating fast food and fried food so that they are overweight． Students in some schools in towns can eat vegetables to （71）keep fit．
