题目内容

15．Dolls（娃娃）come in all shapes and sizes．Many people like to collect them．The reason is probably that dolls make people feel like they just gave birth to their own children．
One famous doll company is Madame Alexander．The dolls it produces are usually bought by mothers for their daughters to play with．Two of the most expensive dolls they have are Kathleen Toddler whose market price today is from 125to300 and Binnie，which costs about 175to475．
Cabbage Patch Kids are another kind of dolls．That company's marketing policy is different because you don't buy a doll but rather adopt one．You just have to pay a small，regular fee．They were very successful in the 1980s．
 Lee Middleton also produces baby dolls，including different collections．As they are very lively，these dolls are still very popular among collectors．
Another company that makes dolls is Tiny Miracles．They have a collection called the Ashton Drake Galleries that consists of 10-inch-long babies．They are not sold in stores，so if you want one，you have to order it straight from Tiny Miracles．
These are just a few of the baby dolls on the market．The best place to sell dolls is online because almost everyone has a computer and the company can make money here much more easily than by putting an ad in the newspaper．The companies don't even have to create their own websites because they can use auction（拍卖）sites，meaning they just have to open an account．

5．Getting rid of dirt，in the opinion of most people，is a good thing．However，there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt．
In the early 16th century，people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease，as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in．A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths．By 1538，the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom．So did the king of England in 1546．Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way．Henry IV，king of France，was famously dirty．Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath，the king ordered that，to avoid the attack of disease，the nobleman should not go out．
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived，dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century．Scientifically speaking，cleaning away dirt is good to health．Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease．Yet，it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II．Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea：clothes need to be whiter than white，cloths ever softer，surfaces to shine．Has the hate for dirt，however，gone too far？
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays．Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt，which might be responsible for the spread of disease．On the contrary，Mary Ruebush，an American immunologist （免疫学家），encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system．And the latter position is gaining some ground．

47．The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses becauseC．
A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B．they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C．they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D．they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
48．Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing？A
A．Afraid   B．Curious   C．Approving   D．Uninterested
49．How does the passage mainly develop？C
A．By providing examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By following the order of time．
D．By following the order of importance．
50．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？D
A．To stress the role of dirt．
B．To introduce the history of dirt．
C．To call attention to the danger of dirt．
D．To present the change of views on dirt．
6．Women make better drivers than men for many reasons．Why is that，do you suppose？Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless？If you ask me，I'd like to say，men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth-women are queens of the road．
Unlike men，women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going．We don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction．Have you ever be in a car with a man who is lost？He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth．And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn．
Speeding is what men do best on the road．Traffic is not a race．There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women．Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don't get pulled over as frequently．We don't speed．We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger．
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what．The seat is backed as far as possible，and they're totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level．You don't ever see women driving like that．
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men．We women rule the road．Oh，and men，if you want to continue criticizing （批评） women for being bad drivers，bring it on．We know you lack confidence，or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with．
66．If a woman driver feels lost，she willD．
A．tell the man next to her to shut up         
B．drive aimlessly for hours without stopping
C．take the wrong turns at a high speed        
D．stop the car and ask people for help

A．women drivers have more responsibility for lives
B．women drivers often play tricks on the police in charge
C．men drivers are more confident and skillful in driving
D．men drivers usually have to be pulled over to the roadsides
68．According to the passage，what does the writer worry most about men drivers？C
A．not stopping for directions             
B．making jokes about women
C．not paying full attention                   
D．getting more speeding tickets

A．Why are women good at driving？

3．Americans use many expressions with the word"dog"．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care．However，dogs without owners to care for lead a different kind of life．The expression"to lead a dog's life"describes a person who has an unhappy life．
    Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．They say that to be successful，a person has to work like a dog．This means they have to work very，very hard．Such hard work can make people dog-tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．
    Still，people say every dog has its day．This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．To be successful，people often have to learn new skills．Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks．They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things．
    People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want．Mean dogs are often used to guard this property．They bark or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad．We say his bark is worse than his bite．
    Doghouse provide shelter but they can be cold and lonely in the winter．Husbands and wives use this doghouse when they are angry at each other．For example，a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary．She might tell him that he is in the doghouse and treats him badly．However，the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems．He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie．
    Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．A rainstorm may cool the weather．But we do not want it to rain too hard．We do not want it to rain cats and dogs．
66．The underlined expression"work like a dog"in Paragraph 2 meansD
A．become successful              
B．have an unhappy life
C．compete for the same things      
D．work very，very hard

10．We often see wind-horse flags in Tibetan areas．They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（经文）are printed．People often put these flags on top of houses，or leave them where a vehicle accident happened．They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again．
    A wind-horse flag can be white，yellow，red，green or blue．These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world； earth，water，fire，wind and sky．Another explanations that red is the sun，green is the grassland，yellow is the earth，blue is the sky，and white is the cloud．
    The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India．When he crossed a river，he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water．He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）．Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums．The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness，and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind．Finally，he went straight to heaven．
In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture，people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky．
    We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses．The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture．They thought people not only could chant scripture，but also the five elements．The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag，which means that the wind also chants scripture．
60．The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag'sA．
A．colors         B．styles            C．materials         D．functions
61．What happened when the monk meditated？B
A．He felt very sad about his mistake．
B．The scripture was blown into the sky．
C．He was punished by the gods．
D．Many wind-house flags were flying．
62．According to the passage，the origin of the wind-horse flag is based onC．
A．a historical event                  
B．an ancient custom
C．a religious tale                    
D．a vehicle accident
63．Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses？D
A．The wind-house flags are safer there．
B．The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky．
C．People can see the wind-house flags more clearly．
D．People believe the wind can also chant scripture．
20．Nearly everyone is shy in some ways．If shyness is making you uncomfortable，it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence．You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists．
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations．What you have to say is just as important as what other people say．And don't turn down party invitations just because of your shyness．
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups．Make a list of the good qualities you have．Then make a list of ideas，experiences，and skills you would like to share with other people．Think about what you would like to say in advance．Then say it．
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group，take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people．Remember，you are not alone．Other people are concerned about the impression they are making，too．
No one ever gets over being shy completely，but most people do learn to live with their shyness．Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy．They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public．Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards．But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you．

4．Speaking at a forum on student achievement last night，Professor Stephen Dinham，Chair of Teacher Education at the University of Melbourne's Graduate School of Education，said attempts to improve student self-esteem（自尊） in unreal ways，such as avoiding criticism and handing out unearned praise，are failing some of our most vulnerable （脆弱的） students．
"We know self-esteem does influence student achievement but，unfortunately，some schools attempt to do this in unreal ways，such as avoiding negative criticism and providing only‘positive reinforcement'．If we over-inflate（过分吹捧） student self-esteem in this manner，they will struggle when they get out into the wide world，"he told the audience at last night's University of Melbourne alumni event．
Professor Dinham pointed out schools focusing too much on"welfare"，particularly in low socioeconomic areas，create a low expectations model that leads students to low achievement．However，schools focusing too much on the"academic"at the expense of the personal are getting it wrong，too．
"The‘welfare'and the‘academic'approaches are both wrong．What research shows is that the best teachers and schools，including those in disadvantaged areas，have a balanced focus on every student as a learner and a person．We can actually build up student self-esteem by ensuring every student feels they are achieving success and making progress．We do this by providing meaningful feedback（反馈）-which includes constructive criticism．"
According to Professor Dinham，a fundamental mistake was made in the 1960s when，in line with wider social changes，schools rightly became more responsive to students as individuals．Mistakenly，being responsive to students was interpreted as also being less demanding and many schools therefore became more permissive．
The best teaching style is one where high responsiveness to individual student needs is combined with demands for students to achieve their best academically and conform to （符合，使…一致） acceptable standards of behavior．Real achievement is the best way to boost self-esteem，which can then lead to further success，he said．

67．We improve a student self-esteem in unreal ways if weC．
A．give him praise now and then
B．don't provide meaningful feedback
C．don't give them the necessary criticism
D．focus too much on his academic performance
68．If we avoid negative criticism and provide only"positive reinforcement"，a student willB．
A．fail the school                   
B．have problems in the real world
C．become more confident in himself 
D．make good progress in academics
69．What Kind of mistake was made in the 1960s？B
A．The school was too strict with the students
B．The school became less demanding of the students
C．The students were given too much permissive remarks

70．Which of the following is the best way to improve students'self-esteem？D
A．Responding to individual student needs
B．Making students acquire right behaviors
C．Giving them encouragement and praise
D．Having them make real achieveement．
5．American society is not nap（午睡）friendly．In fact，says David Dinges，a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine．"There's even a ban against admitting we need sleep．"Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work．A proverb says："Some sleep five hours，nature requires seven，laziness nine and wickedness（邪恶） eleven．"
Wrong!The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them．"We have to totally change our attitude toward napping，"says Dr William Dement of Stanford University，the godfather of sleep research．
Last year a national commission（委员会） led by Dement put forward an "American sleep debt" which one member said was as important as the national debt．The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness：people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working．This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House．According to recent reports，our President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon．
About 60percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity．We seem to have"a mid-afternoon quiet state"，or"a secondary sleep gate"．Sleeping 15minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed．Clearly，we were born to nap．
We Superstars of Napping don't nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift（夜班）．Rather，we take it，whenever，wherever and at whatever time we feel like it．I myself have napped in buses，cars，planes and on boats； on floors and beds； and in libraries，offices and museums．
56．It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep isA．
A．unreasonable B．unfit      C．harmful      D．unfriendly
57．The research done by the Dement commission shows thatC．
A．Americans who sleep too much usually get into debts
B．the commission blamed the national debts on people's sleep
C．not enough sleep is no good for Americans and their country
D．napping at work has caused America many industrial and traffic accidents
58．The writer writes this passage in order toD．
A．warn us of the risks of napping
B．show us the dangers of sleeplessness
C．introduce a national commission on sleepiness in America
D．convince the readers of the necessity of napping
59．From the passage，we can learn that"American sleep debt"is the result ofA．
A．the wrong attitude the Americans traditionally hold toward sleep
B．the sleep policy made by the American government
C．the rapid development of American industry
D．the Americans'worry about the dangers of sleepiness
60．The last paragraph tells us that it isD．
A．preferable to have a sound sleep after a night shift
B．good practice not to nap at work
C．essential to make up for lost sleep
D．natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it．
