2.Flying like a bird has been the dream of humans since ancient times.Last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and challenged gravity in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.
"Yes,you can buy a ticket and fly to another city.But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to take off is totally different,"Dong Fang,said in an excited voice.He is one of 41students from Hangzhou No.14Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground.Inspired by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the UK,Ni Wangyue,a teacher in high school is holding a similar event.The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971in the England coastal city Bognor.People ran off the end of a pier (碼頭) with their own aircraft in an attempt to"fly"the farthest distance.
"From the very beginning,I didn't expect my students to create a real plane or break any records.I told them the competition is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch,"Said Ni.He was surprised to see his students create 10different aircrafts with all kinds of material available in the past month.Many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their planes than in ordinary classes.
Jing Yuchen and his team named their plane"Weiming E",which means an unknown goose.The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth will honour its name by successfully making it fly.
"Our work is much more imaginative than others.With several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings,it surely is the most eye-catching work,if not the best,"said Yu Liang,another student.
"Although most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying,the boys'braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in the future,"Ni said.

20.The purpose of the competition is toD.
A.prepare to create more real planes.
B.let students break some records.
C.run off the end of a pier.
D.encourage braveness and creativity.
21.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT true?D
A.There were 41students taking part in the competition.
B.A similar kind of competition started in 1971.
C.The teacher didn't expect his students could create 10different aircrafts.
D.Most of those home-made aircrafts could take the boys flying.
22.By saying"you can buy a ticket and fly to another city",the writer actually meansC.
A.if you want to take part in the competition you have to buy a ticket.
B.people who take part in the competition have to fly to another city.
C.people can pay to get a chance to go to another place by air.
D.the students have to fly to another city in their home-made aircrafts.
23.Why did the teacher organize this activity?A
A.He wanted to develop students'imagination.
B.He wanted his students to have the feeling of flying.
C.He wanted his students to break records.
D.He wanted to increase his students'grades.

13.Have you ever wanted to be healthier?Get a pet!That is what the experts are saying.There are many advantages to owning a pet,no matter whether it is a cat,dog,or horse.
Some new parents are often in a rush to get rid of their pets when a baby is expected.Yet,studies have shown that having a pet at home actually reduces a child's likelihood of developing certain kinds of diseases.In one study,a researcher studied 300new-born babies and tested them again a year later.He found that if they had a dog at home the children had up to 33% fewer allergies (過敏癥).In addition,the children had stronger immune systems (免疫系統(tǒng)) when compared to the babies of homes with no pets.
In another study,researchers tested nearly 4,500people.They found that cat owners who spent time stroking (撫摸) their cats suffered 40% fewer heart attacks than those who did not own a cat.Some other studies also found that pet owners suffered less serious from depression (沮喪) than non-pet owners.
Horses have long been used in treatments for disabled people,both physically and mentally.Not only does the movement of the horse help people with physical problems,but the calming influence of the animals has a positive effect on them,too.Amazing changes have been noted in disabled people who are lucky enough to receive these treatments.
From cats to horses,having a pet can really have positive effects on our health.

32.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?B
A.Degree.   B.Possibility.   C.Opportunity.   D.Decision.
33.From the second and third paragraphs,we can infer thatC.
A.having a pet at home makes a baby weak
B.the children in home without a dog may have strong immune system
C.non-pet owners may easily suffer from depression than pet owners
D.keeping a pet cat is better than keeping a pet dog
34.What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?C
A.How to raise a horse.
B.The way of keeping healthy.
C.How horses benefit disabled people.
D.How to treat disabled people.
35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A
A.New parents sometimes refuse to have a pet when they have a baby.
B.If you want to keep healthy,do nothing but keep a pet.

17.Frozen fruit and vegetables can be healthier,with higher levels of vitamins and cancer fighting antioxidants (抗氧化劑),that leafy"fresh"produce.Two independent studies found more beneficial nutrients in everything from frozen broccoli florets to carrots.In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetables scored better on antioxidant-type compounds(化合物).Consumption of these antioxidant compounds is considered beneficial in preventing cancer and supporting the wording of the body,brain,skin and eyes.
Produce bought from the supermarket greengrocer sections is full of color,while many stores even use fine mist sprays (噴劑)to give a just picked look.This supermarket theatre convinces shoppers to pay an extra payment for food that they believe is good for their family's health as well as being tasty.However,the reality is that these vegetables and fruit may well have been held in storage for a month,while they then sit in the fridge at home for days before being eaten.
Over the days,they gradually  deteriorate,slowly losing some of the nutrients associated with leafy greens and fruit.By contrast,frozen vegetables and fruit are chilled(冷藏)soon after harvest and so keep higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants until they are eaten.
Two teams,one from Leatherhead Food Research and the other from the University of Chester,carried out 40tests to measure nutrient levels in produce which had been sitting in a fridge for three days and the frozen equivalent (相等物).The findings show that eating newly picked produce is the healthiest option; however,frozen food can be almost as good and is often better than items sold as"fresh".Leatherhead's Dr Rachel Burch said:"We must ignore the mistaken opinion that fresh food is always better for us than frozen food."
These results show that frozen food can be nutritionally comparable to fresh produce.Direct comparison:In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetable scored better on antioxidant-type compounds including Vitamin C,polyphenols and anthocyanins (多酚和花青素),a study found.Her team found frozen broccoli had higher levels of Vitamin C.However,fresh food scored better on polyphenols,which are thought to help prevent cancer.
32.What does the passage mainly tell us?D
A.Fresh food is better than frozen food
B.Frozen food might cause cancer.
C.Frozen food is as good as fresh food
D.Frozen food is better than"fresh"food.
33.Why do some supermarkets spray fine mist on fruit and vegetables?C
A.To keep them in good quality
B.To make them taste good.
C.To make them look fresh
D.To make them sell cheaply.
34.What does the underlined word"deteriorate"in Paragraph 3mean?A
A.Grow worse
B.Grow better.
C.Remain the same
D.Die out.
35.What is more helpful in preventing cancer?C
A.Vitamin C
B.Frozen fruit and vegetables.
C.Fresh fruit and vegetables
D.Anthocyanins.

11.Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery.It reduces the human factors,mental and physical,in production,and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers.The development of automation in American industry has been called the"Second Industrial Revolution".
Labour's concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment,and fears of major changes in jobs.In the main,labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful.Eventually,the result of automation may well be an increase in employment,since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing,maintaining,and repairing automation equipment.The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved.Also,union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages,more leisure,and improved living standards.
To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation,unions have adopted a number of new policies.One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans.It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment,he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments.Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements,requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service.Another approach is the idea of the"improvement factor",which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity.It is possible,however,that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation.(in no more than 8 words)
78.Automation makes it possible tomanufacture more goods with fewer workers.
79.At first,two things people worried about automation wereeffect on employment and major changes in jobs
80.According to union spokesmen,the workers benefit from automation in terms ofwages,leisure hours and living standards
81.What is the last passage mainly talking about?Union's policy concerning the protection of union members.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)

12.You,re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:
"I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Betrolla!They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful?And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome".
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla,but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So,you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing,driving and eating.If the person looks cool,the product seems cool,too.This is the secret of undercover(暗中進(jìn)行的)marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend,but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to"perform"in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice misleading,but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing".
However,one might ask what exactly is"real"about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater.Advertising executives would say it's no less real than flu ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don't know a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

64.The two attractive young women were talking loudly so that they could.B
A.get the sweater at a lower price
B.be heard by people around
C.be admired by other shoppers
D.decide on buying the sweater
65.Lorenzo Bertolla isD.
A.a(chǎn) very popular male singer   B.a(chǎn)n advertising agency
C.a(chǎn) clothing company in Rome   D.the brand name of a sweater
66.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?C
A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
B.The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads.
C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
D.Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
67.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?D
A.Two Attractive Shopperb  B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising      D.Undercover Marketing.
