4.This month,my 7-year-old daughter invited her friend to sleep over.Her mom,who had told me before she did not allow sleepovers,explained that she did not think the kids were ready for a sleepover until the age of 10.I then started to wonder whether there actually was a"right"age for a sleepover.
   I remember the first real sleepover I ever had.It happened when I was about 13 and a friend of mine invited me to sleep at her house.Luckily for me,her parents were not strangers.
   I think I cried for 2 months straight before being allowed my first sleepover.My parents were not completely heartless,though.I was actually sick at the time and had to take medication and they were very concerned about that,but I still did not like them saying"no".
   I remember my excitement the day before I finally got my sleepover.I could not sleep that night from the excitement.When I got there,my friend's house looked so beautiful and her parents were so nice and welcoming.
   Unfortunately though,the number of sleepovers I had throughout my childhood can be counted on two hands.And after every one of them,I realized exactly how much I was missing.It was only as an adult,when I was studying education,that I actually learned about the importance of sleepovers in kids'development no matter how old they are.
   A sleepover is one of those things every child needs experience on their own.It can do them a lot of good.

6.The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health.Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat,it has,at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat.Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of human illness is related to food and 40% of cancer is related to food as well.That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.In 1945,some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives(添加劑)caused cancer.
Yet,these additives remain in our food,and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings(包裝)of foods are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct.Farmers often give penicillin to their animals,and because of this,penicillin has been found in the milk of cows.Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health,but just to make a profit.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market.Although some countries have tried to control such things,the practice continues.
121.According to this passage,we can knowB.
A.science has made food unfit to eat
B.perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat
C.perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
D.cancer was discovered in 1945
122.Things that are used to keep colours in meats areB.
A.delicious                             
B.harmful
C.useless                               
D.helpless
123.Which of the following is NOT true?A
A.We needn't take care of what we eat.
B.Some wrappings of food are harmful.
C.Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.
D."The practice continues"means"things are still going on like that".
124.All the additivesD.
A.have direct effects on our health
B.a(chǎn)re bright and colourless
C.a(chǎn)re not bright and colourful
D.have indirect effects on our health.

15.The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack.The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders'ears,nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd.After three or four minutes of suspense,one horse crosses the finish line first,winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.
The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup-one of the world's most famous horseraces-were fated to race.Bred for speed,these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.
Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team.A horse's owner manages the team and decides which races to enter.A trainer determines the racehorse's diet and exercise.Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured,but overtraining tires the horse.A groomer (動物美容師) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer.And of course,no horserace could be run without a rider.These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another.They need to make a strategy,adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.
Australia's most famous horserace,the Melbourne Cup,is 3,200meters of pure excitement.Each year 300or 400horses are nominated (提名),but only 24can run.The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors,but winners of certain races qualify automatically.
Each racehorse receives a handicap-a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning-two months before the race.Originally,horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps.But the rules have changed,reducing the handicap for previous winners.
The first Melbourne Cup in 1861drew a crowd of 4,000spectators,and the race's popularity has grown since then.Held on the first Tuesday of November,the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.
The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich.Today it still attracts society's upper class.They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.
But anyway it's all about the race-the effort of horses and riders,the suspense and the thrill of victory.

66.What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?B
A.They are all winners of a certain race.
B.They are raised and trained by joint effort.
C.They are chosen from ordinary horses.
D.Their fates are determined by their trainers.
67.The racehorses are given handicaps so thatC.
A.they will weigh the same
B.previous winners are unlikely to win
C.the race will be fair enough
D.they will be more adaptable to the race
68.It can be learned from the passage thatB.
A.the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress well
B.the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy people
C.the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortune
D.the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide
69.The passage can most probably be found inA.
A.a(chǎn) sports journal
B.a(chǎn) business newspaper
C.a(chǎn)n academic paper

19.Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise,which is a good thing.However,a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents.The local court even served a summons (傳票) related to a certain Ms.Wang.
The news soon caused heated discussion across China,with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West,while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.
The United States is a diverse society,and in many cases,Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated.Meanwhile,the United States is a society based on the rule of law,and due to cultural differences,local regulations seem to be very different from those in China.As a result,some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation.Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility.Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before,these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules.However,since the incident took place,they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum.People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises,respecting and tolerating each other.
Whatever your choice of entertainment,it is important not to affect other people's lives.Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.
As for U.S.police practice,there might still be some room for improvement.Some were said to be rather rude,leading to the so-called"racial discrimination,"which is a sensitive topic in U.S.society.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant,and solve such problems without involving the court,perhaps immigrants would mix more.

28.The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1toD.
A.make complaints                 B.show his opinion
C.criticize the local police      D.bring up the topic
29.What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?B
A.Ask America to change its law.
B.Keep the noise lower.
C.Go back to China.
D.Fight for their right.
30.What's the writer's attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park?C
A.He strongly supports the action of the local police.
B.He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.
C.He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.
D.He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.
31.Where could this passage most likely be taken from?D
A.a(chǎn) story book     B.a(chǎn) brochure      C.a(chǎn) complaint letter      D.a(chǎn) newspaper.

9.Pat O'Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family,and one morning,waking up very early from cold and hunger,he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage.The wood belonged to Lord Northwood,a rich gentleman.Pat had no right to go there,but in it there were swarms of rabbits and flocks of birds that were good to eat,and Pat determined to take the risk.Suddenly he saw the owner,with a group of friends,coming towards him in the wood.There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood's face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat's hands.

16.The way food is labeled(標簽) affects how much eat of it,according to new research.Scientists have discovered that people tend to eat more of a portion (部分) if they believe it to be regular or small".However,if a portion is termed as being"large",people tend to leave some of the food they have-been given.
Dr Brian Wansink and Dr David Just,of the Food & Brand Labat Cornell University,have discovered that people tend to eat more of an item if its size is termed"regular"than if it's termed"double size"-even if the actual portion is the same.
"If  labels are used as size information,policies governing normative (規(guī)范) names could help reduce the consumption of food or reduce waste,"the researchers wrote in the Study.For the study,researchers served participants either one portion of a lunch item,or two portions.
For some of the participants,the single portion of food was called"half-size"and the double portion was called regular",while.For the other participants,the single portion was called"regular"and the double portion was called"double size".
Researchers found that participants ate more when eating from the"regular"-labeled portion,compared with eating from the"double size"-labeled portion,even though the portion sizes were exactly the same.Dr Wansink and Dr Just also discovered that a person's willingness to pay for food was also dependent on food labels.If a food is considered a Half-size,they are only Willing to pay half the price as a"regular"portion,-even if the actual portion sizes do not reflect their labels.
Dr Wansink and Dr Just previously found that the color of a plate could influence how much a person ate.Research also found that people served food on tables with a higher color contrast (反差 ) between the plate and the tablecloth ate more than those who were served the same amount of food without an obvious contrast.
28.According to the study,we can know that people tend toC
A.eat less if they believe it to be regular or small
B.eat more when the label is double-sized than it is regular
C.leave some of the food if a portion is termed being large
D.eat more if policies government normative names are signed
29.In the research we can know thatA
A.the portion size of 2labels were exactly the same
B.participants eat less when eating from the regular labeled portion
C.a(chǎn) person's willingness to pay for food is not dependent on food labels
D.the use of color could influence the quantity of food people have
30.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?D
A.people should use the contrast to eat more
B.the plate and the tablecloth should be the same color
C.people will eat less when the plate is white and black
D.the use of color could influence the quantity of food people have
31.Where is the study most probable published?C
A.in the journal of Sport Report

13.When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,"I will be the richest man one day,"his friends made fun of his"daydreaming".But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks,delivering newspapers and buying stocks.The American had already earned 9,000 (equal to 90,000today) by the time he graduated from high school.
And this month the 78-year-old man,who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock(股票)market,took the place of Microsoft founder,Bill Gates,as the world's richest man.Gates'worth declined 1.5billion to 55.5billion in 33days after the recent financial storm,according to Forbes Magazine.
Buffett,the only son of a stockbroker,was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age.At 8,he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls.At 11when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend,the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school,Buffett delivered two competitor papers,so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions,he could still make a profit from the other.With his paper delivery savings,Buffett bought 162,000square meters of farmland and collected rent.Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11but earned only 5.The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing,patience.
After graduating from university,Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends.He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time.By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola,Buffett has become rich.
"Learning is important to Buffett's success.He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading.He keeps learning from books,street smarts and investigation,from both success and failure.In this way,he over-achieved his aptitude (能力)."said Charlie Munger,his longtime business partner.
32.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world's richest man
B.what effect Buffett's childhood experiences had on his success
C.what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child
D.how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude
33.Which of the following is true about Buffett?C
A.He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.
B He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.
C.His worth is more than 55.5billion now.
D He bought 162,000square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.
34.Which is the main factor that determines Buffett's success?B
A.His degree of education.
B.His eagerness to absorb the knowledge.
C.His family background.
D.His cooperation with his partner.
35.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.
B.Buffett and Gates are business partners.
C.His father helped him a lot in his business.
D.Buffett has a good sense of business.

14.These days no car show is complete without an electric car,and the 2011North American International Auto Show in Detroit,US,which ran from January 10to 23,was no exception.
Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV.BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show,proving that they can produce practical,yet spacious family-oriented electric cars.
Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries,improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011the"year of electric car".
It's long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience.They are,for instance,much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars.When the battery runs out,you simply replace it or recharge it,just like you would for a cell phone or a laptop.
This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline.Better yet,electric cars don't emit exhaust fumes.As a result,they don't produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases.
It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly.So,what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable?
Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users.However,it is also a potential obstacle.For a start,installing charging stations in owners'homes will be a challenge,particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes.
Also,charging the car's battery still takes quite a long time.It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank.
Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50miles (80km) or less between charges.In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home (perhaps overnight),this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle.
This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular.A hybrid car has more than one energy source,usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery.It's like a more practical version of an electric car:It's greener than a conventional vehicle,with fewer CO2emissions,yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle.
"I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic,"Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show."The trend is for lighter,smarter,more economical cars.Of course,electronic vehicles are meant to be that way."
This sounds promising,particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before.
