第1题：
A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.
Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’.
It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest.
1.The number of people believing politicians and journalists has __________.
A.increased
B.not changed
C.decreased
2.Experts think this problem ____________.
A.will get better soon
B.will not get better soon
C.will get worse soon
3.Stories say businessmen give money to _______.
A.politicians
B.politicians and journalists
C.journalists
4.Mr Smith thinks politicians make laws __________.
A.to help their friends
B.to help him
C.to help everybody
5.People can now check stories using _________.
A.the newspapers
B.the television
C.the Internet

A Letter from Alan
I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.Alan says that ordinary people who live in the town will probably soon______.
A: be able to buy new houses
B: choose to live near the station
C: open new shops and hotels
D: have less money答案：D解析：细节题。根据第一段“Few people know about… the size of our town.”以及对全文理解可知，Alan写这封信是为了让其他人了解建筑商计划。因此D项正确。
细节题。根据第一段“For me , Parson's Place is…with fishermen and bird-watchers.” 可以知道答案。因此C项正确。
细节题。根据第二段中“The roads will always be full of traffic…see our lovely old buildings will leave.”可以知道，如果按照建筑商的计划，公路上将总是有很多车辆，却没有地方来停车。因此A项正确。
细节题。根据第三段中“But, in my opinion , the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.”可知道答案。因此D项正确。
主旨题。Alan在本文中一直在说抵制建筑商在帕森场上建造房屋的计划。因此B 项正确。 -

Computer Literacy
There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work,just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine（内燃机）has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons（活塞）being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do.Further,students might be helped by a course that considers the computer's impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy（读写能力）。It is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.
Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers.But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun,and while our society needs some people who are experts at it,the same is true of auto repair and violin-making.
Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult,and it gets easier all the time as programs become more"user-friendly".Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen.What does the phrase"learning to use a computer" mean? It sounds like"learning to drive a car",that is,it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that,once acquired,enable one to use a computer.
In fact,"learning to use a computer" is much more like"learning to play a game",but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game,whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program.In the second paragraph"violin-making"is mentioned to show that_______.
A:programming a computer is as interesting as making a violin
B:our society needs experts in different fields
C:violin-making requires as much skill as computer programming
D:people who can use a computer don't necessarily have to know computer programming答案：D解析：题干意思为：要成为未来的称职公民，人们应该怎么做。根据文章第2段，未来的称职公民要学习一些电脑的基本技能，但不必像专业编程人员那样。因此答案C为正确选项。
题干意思为：第二段提到的“小提琴制造”是为了说明什么。举这个例子是为了说明第2段的第一句话，即学习使用电脑和学习如何编程是两件截然不同的事情。因此答案D“人们可以使用电脑并不意味着必须了解电脑编程”为正确答案。
题干意思为：学习如何使用电脑正在变得越来越容易，原因是什么。文章第3段指出Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult , and it gets easier all the time as programs become more " user-friendly"，即学习使用电脑不难，并正在变得更加容易，原因是电脑程序正变得“让用户容易使用”，因此可知B为正确选项。
题干意思为：根据作者所述，第三段中“学习使用电脑”是什么意思。这一题的答案在文章的最后一句。即没有教一个人如何使用电脑这回事，一个人只能教别人如何使用这个或那个软件。答案C为学习特定的软件，符合题意。
题干意思为：作者写这篇文章的目的是什么。文章在第一段引出了computer literacy的概念，即“电脑素养”。全篇都是在围绕这个词进行解释。 -

问答题Directions:Recently, the fact that more and more students have spent too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. What bad influences do the computer games have on people and what should we do with them? Write a composition to give your views. You should write at least 160 words.正确答案：
Recently, the fact that more and more students have spent too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. It's high time to prevent them from indulging in those games.
Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. To begin with, to play computer games excessively can damage the players' physical health, especially their eyes. In addition, those students who are addicted to computer games tend to neglect their studies, idle away their time and even commit crimes.
From what has been discussed above, I think it is imperative that some effective measures be taken to solve the problem. To begin with, the computer access for students should be controlled and the time students spend on computer games should be limited. Then, the quality of computer software and games for young students should be examined in case they are adversely influenced by inappropriate programs that involve violence and sex content. Finally, the law and the regulation should be made to protect students from being corrupted and misled by computer games. Meanwhile, parents and teachers should take responsibility for educating the students to realize the harmful effects of computer games.解析： 暂无解析 -

请阅读Passage 2，完成题：
A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the narratives of the games are analyzed they can be seen to fall into some genres.
The two genres most popular with the children I interviewed were'Plafformers' and 'Beat-them-ups'. Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform,avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children's cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls of a cliff but walks away unscathed.
Controversy has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children's everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after prolonged exposure to these games. Playing computer games involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive 'yells' at the screen. It is not only the'Beat-them-up' games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their'lives' and'die' just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination. When the player loses and the words'Game over' appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming'addictive': the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have'one last go' in the hope of doing better next time.
Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to anti-social behavior, make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability.
According to the second paragraph, how does violence relate to playing computer games?
查看材料A．When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.
B．Beat-Them-Ups are more popular with children therefore more likely to produce violent behavior.
C．People who have good hand-eye-coordination tend to be more violent than others.
D．The violent content in the games gets children addicted to the games.答案：A解析：文章第二段介绍了为什么沉迷于电子游戏会使孩子们产生暴力倾向。作者先将本段内容在开头进行综述，小孩打游戏总是过了头．游戏已经渗透到他们的生活中去。人们担心．孩子们会因为打游戏时间过长而渐渐变得有暴力倾向。尤其是游戏即将失利的时候．玩家就会觉得沮丧．为自己曾经的失误气恼．总想再来一次。作者说，Platforms和Beat．Them．Ups同样会使孩子们感到失利后的沮丧，对应A项说法。B项“Beat—Them．Ups更受欢迎，因此更容易激发暴力行为”是错误的。C项“手眼协调的人更容易有暴力倾向”．文章并没有相关内容。D项“游戏中的暴力内容使得孩子们沉迷于游戏中”．文章也没有这样的说法。 -

A Letter from Alan
I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.Which of these posters has Alan made?
A: SAVE OUR SPORTh GROUND
B: SAY NO TO HOUSES ON PARSON'S PLACE
C: WE NEED HOMES NOT HOTELS
D: USE THE TRAIN NOT THE ROAD答案：B解析：细节题。根据第一段“Few people know about… the size of our town.”以及对全文理解可知，Alan写这封信是为了让其他人了解建筑商计划。因此D项正确。
细节题。根据第一段“For me , Parson's Place is…with fishermen and bird-watchers.” 可以知道答案。因此C项正确。
细节题。根据第二段中“The roads will always be full of traffic…see our lovely old buildings will leave.”可以知道，如果按照建筑商的计划，公路上将总是有很多车辆，却没有地方来停车。因此A项正确。
细节题。根据第三段中“But, in my opinion , the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.”可知道答案。因此D项正确。
主旨题。Alan在本文中一直在说抵制建筑商在帕森场上建造房屋的计划。因此B 项正确。 -

Computer Literacy
There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work,just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine（内燃机）has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons（活塞）being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do.Further,students might be helped by a course that considers the computer's impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy（读写能力）。It is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.
Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers.But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun,and while our society needs some people who are experts at it,the same is true of auto repair and violin-making.
Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult,and it gets easier all the time as programs become more"user-friendly".Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen.What does the phrase"learning to use a computer" mean? It sounds like"learning to drive a car",that is,it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that,once acquired,enable one to use a computer.
In fact,"learning to use a computer" is much more like"learning to play a game",but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game,whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program.The author's purpose in writing this passage is______.
A:to stress the impact of the computer on society
B:to explain the concept of the computer literacy
C:to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrow
D:to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job答案：B解析：题干意思为：要成为未来的称职公民，人们应该怎么做。根据文章第2段，未来的称职公民要学习一些电脑的基本技能，但不必像专业编程人员那样。因此答案C为正确选项。
题干意思为：第二段提到的“小提琴制造”是为了说明什么。举这个例子是为了说明第2段的第一句话，即学习使用电脑和学习如何编程是两件截然不同的事情。因此答案D“人们可以使用电脑并不意味着必须了解电脑编程”为正确答案。
题干意思为：学习如何使用电脑正在变得越来越容易，原因是什么。文章第3段指出Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult , and it gets easier all the time as programs become more " user-friendly"，即学习使用电脑不难，并正在变得更加容易，原因是电脑程序正变得“让用户容易使用”，因此可知B为正确选项。

第18题：
Cats are creatures of habit.They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time.They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.
Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps（打盹）.Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit.Cat naps help to build up energy in the body.They are also a good way to get rid of trouble!Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans,some experts behave that people can improve their moods.People might become happier.
A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day.The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.
Winston Churchill took cat naps.So did Presidents Harry Truman,John F.Kennedy and Lyndon B.Johnson.These famous men were known for their energy.They were also able to work long hours,often into the night.Napping was their secret.
Perhaps more people learn from cats and take naps to feel better and live longer!
Taking cat naps__________.A.will make a person lazy and tired

第19题：
It seems obvious that you don"t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band"s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will heat. The Crimea"s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn"t the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to. This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels. There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people"s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage. The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before. It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because （）.

问答题Recently, the fact that more and more students are spending too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. What influences do the computer games have on people and what should we do with them? Write a composition to give your views. You should write at least 120 words.正确答案：
Nowadays, most of the boy students are crazy about playing computer games. The parents and teachers are very concerned with this situation. Then what influences does the computer game have on the players and what should we do with it?
The computer games can give the players intellectual confidence and enhance their learning on a certain degree. However, their disadvantages are more prevailing. Most of the video games are of violent theme, which may desensitize the players to violence and alter their perception of reality. That may also give them the false idea that violence is an acceptable way to deal with problems and conflict. Meanwhile, spending too much time on video games would certainly affect their study. Concerning this, we should control children’s time spent on playing computer games and encourage them to do some other activities, such as doing sports, reading and travelling.解析： 暂无解析 -
