Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:
1.Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
2.Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
3.Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions, Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.
4.       . Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.
5.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively(過分地)about a single test.
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.
1.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
If you fail an exam, don’t let it trouble you too much.
2.According to the passage, how can an average student improve his/her grades?(within 10 words)
3.Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with a proper sentence. (within 10 words)

任務型閱讀(10’):每空填一詞。
Nowadays people use different ways to communicate with each other. And does one always tell the truth when he or she talks with the other on the phone? Or does one sometimes tell a lie when writing an e-mail or giving an instant message? Recent research has found that communication technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study, made by Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in e-mails. The fact that e-mails are automatically recorded--- and can come back to trouble you---appears to be the key to the finding.
Jeff Hancock made an investigation by asking 30 students to keep a communication diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or e-mail exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of e-mails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.
His results, to be presented at the conference on human computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because the unreal condition makes people uncomfortable, the detachment(非直接接觸) of e-mailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because people are more practiced at that form of communication.
But Hancock says it is also very important and effective whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know that they will be responsible for what they have said in the conversation, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in e-mail than on the phone.
People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are sudden or immediate responses to demands that they don’t expect, such as: “Do you like my dress?”
Hancock hopes his research will help business companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for selling their products where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his results, work assessment, where honesty is regarded as more important than others, might be best done using e-mails.
Jeff Hancock’s study on lying in different ways of communications
The ___71___ from the statistics of the investigation
Lies become ___72___ when the communicating ways change from ___73___ to instant messages to face-to-face interactions to phone call.
The ___74___ why people lie / don’t lie
People won’t lie when their conversations will be recorded and can be reread, or when they know they should be ___75___ for what have said.
People lie in real time mostly because they have to answer ___76___questions without hesitation.
The ___77___ that business companies can learn from the study
Using telephones for ___78___ because their employees can stretch the truth.
Using e-mails for work assessment because their employees must tell what they’ve done ___79___.
The inference(推斷) from the study
Suitable media should be chosen for different ___80___ purposes.

B
Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.
Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV today. But what about the man behind the character?
Miller,35, is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.
Miller didn’t take direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre of film, but in English. He didn’t even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university’s singing group. Yet , at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.
Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. “My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first went to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant. Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end. 
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(《恐龍帝國》). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination(提名)and another season of Prison Break on his resume, Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood.

3.Which of the following statements is put in the right order?
a.Miller did not act in any of the films or TV shows in Hollywood.
b.Miller worked as a lowly production assistant.
c.Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia.
d.Miller joined in his university’s singing group.
A.d-a-b-c     B.a(chǎn)-b-c-d     C.b-a-c-d   D.d-c-b-a
4.Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence “it all paid off for Miller in the end”?
A.Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.
B.Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.
C.Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the flashers(警燈) on. As he pulled over and stopped, he could see a policeman getting out of his car. Right away the man started thinking of excuses to give, as this was not the first time, he had been in similar situations many times before.
As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, you know my younger son wasn’t feeling too well, when I left home this morning.”
The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started scribbling(速寫) in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was still scribbling. The man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driver’s license so far.  A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a folded paper, and returned back to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder, how much this ticket is going to be as he began to unfold the paper. He was surprised it was not a ticket as he began to read:
“I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six, by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine (懲罰), a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug his two other daughters. I only had one, and now I have to wait until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now. So pray(為……祈禱) for me, and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left.”
The man was completely dumbfounded(目瞪口呆的) and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
52. Why did the policeman stop the man?
A. Because the man drove after drinking.
B. Because the man drove at a speed of 40 miles an hour.
C. Because the man drove over the speed limit

C. the man who had killed the policeman’s daughter was free to do anything in prison

That little “a” with a circle curling around it that is found in E – mail addresses is most commonly referred to as the “at” symbol.
Surprisingly though, there is no official, universal name for this sign. There are dozens of strange terms to describe the "@" symbol.
Before it became the standard symbol for electronic mail, the "@" symbol was used to represent the cost of something or how heavy something is. For instance, if you purchased 6 apples, you might write it as 6 apples "@" $1.10 each.
With the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the "@" symbol. The "@" symbol or the "at sign" separates a person's online user name from his mail server(服務器) address. For instance, joe@uselessknowledge.com. Its widespread use on the Internet made it necessary to put this symbol on keyboards in other countries that have never seen or used the symbol before. As a result, there is really no official name for this symbol.
The actual origin of the symbol remains a mystery. History tells us that the @ symbol came from the tired hands of the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages before the invention of printing machines, every letter of a word had to be copied with great efforts by hand for each copy of a published book. The monks that performed these long, boring copying duties looked for ways to reduce the number of individual strokes (筆畫) per word for common words. Although the word “at” is quite short to begin with, it was a common enough word in text and documents so that those monks thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten the word “at” even more. As a result, the monks changed the shape of “t” into a circle to surround “a”, thus leaving out two strokes in the spelling “t”. 
45.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.How “at” developed into @.     B.How @ came into being.
C.How monks invented @.   D.How people wrote the cost of something.
46.Who knows the origin of @?
A.Nobody      B.Monks        C.Apple buyers      D.Internet users
47.Which is NOT the reason for the monks to spell “at” as @?
A.Though “at” is short, it was used very often.
B.The monks wanted to be quicker and easier with their copying.
C.The monks wanted to invent a new word.
D.Copying work was long and boring for them.
48.According to the paragraph , which is TRUE about the symbol of @ today?
A.When you are online, you must use the @ symbol.
B.Kittly 163.com@is an email address.
C.In countries where @ is used, governments have given it an official name.
D.It is likely to find the @ symbol on computer keyboards worldwide.
