Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with        problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog (博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very        .So, what makes blogging different from writing in     diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more       than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of        that she does not want to      .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog      a diary will probably write nearly the same information. I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her          . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.        I was at her age, I wrote about the same things, but      in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was        that my sister might read it!
The biggest      with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something      about her in my diary, she would never know.        , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend        read her blog and get angry.
There are also      to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me.”        would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would      respond and tell her how much they        her. Blogs help people stay in      with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.

試題分析：本文是敘述加說明類文章。目前上網(wǎng)寫“博客”成為一種時髦，那么什么是博客呢？文章作者通過自己的體會以及自己妹妹的例子說明“博客”—即網(wǎng)絡(luò)日記—與傳統(tǒng)日記的相似之處和區(qū)別。
小題1:A 形容詞辨析。A同樣的；B麻煩的；C困難的；D日常的，每天的；此處強調(diào)“博客”與傳統(tǒng)日記的內(nèi)容是一樣的。故使用the same，表示這兩者之間的相似性。后面會講述兩者之間的區(qū)別。
小題2: C 形容詞辨析。A熟悉的；B特別的；C相似的；D不同的。本題考察的是上下文串聯(lián)，與后文形成對比，首先說明“博客”與日記的相似之處。
小題3:D 詞義辨析。A個人的；B普通的；C常見的；D傳統(tǒng)的；作者強調(diào)的是“傳統(tǒng)的”日記。dated“過時的”，顯然不合乎現(xiàn)實情況；personal“個人的”，修飾日記，沒有必要。
小題4: B 形容詞辨析。A吸引人的；B公開的；C方便的，便利的；D快的，迅速的； 通過下文內(nèi)容可知，“博客”與日記最大的區(qū)別在于它的“公開性”，任何人都可能看到。
小題5:D 名詞辨析。A思維，想法；B困惑，迷惑；C謎；D秘密；根據(jù)文章所提供的上下文對比的邏輯以及常識判斷可知，日記記錄的都是個人的“秘密”。
小題6: B 動詞辨析。A告訴；B分享；C印刷，出版；D解決；既然是秘密，就不想跟人“分享”。日記不一定會出版，因此不選publish。
小題7: A 介詞辨析。A代替，而不是；B和，同，也，并；C支持，贊成；D不關(guān)，盡管； 此處強調(diào)的是寫“博客”的人，而不是寫日記的人的情況。
小題8: A 上下文串聯(lián)。A博客；B日記；C報告；D網(wǎng)頁； 從上下文看，作者的妹妹喜歡寫“博客”，很多思維都喜歡在博客上傾述。
小題9:C 連詞辨析。A盡管；B既然，自從；C當(dāng)..時；D因為；when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，作者說明當(dāng)自己和妹妹一樣大時往往寫日記。
小題10:A 副詞辨析。A僅僅，只；B已經(jīng)；C仍然；D從未；作者只能把自己遇到的事情寫在日記上。
小題11: D 形容詞辨析。A生氣的，憤怒的；B絕望的；C開心的，高興的；D擔(dān)心的； 作者把日記藏起來，“擔(dān)心”會被別人看見，被別人看見以后會影響相互之間的關(guān)系。
小題12: A 上下文串聯(lián)。A問題；B懷疑；C麻煩；D錯誤；從后面的內(nèi)容看，“博客”的內(nèi)容會被別人看到，具有公平性。如果說了別人的壞話會傷害別人的感情，因此此處介紹的是“博客”的“問題”。
小題13:C 形容詞辨析。A困難的；B錯誤的；C刻薄的，惡意的；D滑稽的； 從后面?zhèn)e人的感情看，此處說的是別人的壞話，mean在此處作形容詞，意思是“惡意的”。
小題14:B 副詞辨析。A而且；B然而；C因此；D那么；接著； 此處說明的是“博客”與日記的不同，因此上下文形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題15:D 情態(tài)動詞辨析。A應(yīng)該；B將要；C必須；D也許； 在“博客”上發(fā)布攻擊別人的言論，這個人“或許會”看到。但是不可能“一定會”看到，因此must，will不符合文意。
小題16:D 名詞辨析。A理由；B劣勢；C缺點；優(yōu)勢，好處；前面說明了“博客”的問題，這兒再介紹“博客”的好處。
小題17:B 詞義辨析。A所有人；B沒有人；C任何人；D某個人；在日記上寫了什么東西，別人不會看到，因此選no one。
小題18:C 副詞辨析。A開心地；B尤其，特別；C迅速地；D立刻，馬上； 在“博客”上寫上同樣的東西，最好的朋友很快就會看到。選immediately不符合邏輯。
小題19: A 上下文串聯(lián)。此處指來自于最好的朋友的安慰，與前文“沒人關(guān)心我”相呼應(yīng)。朋友的喜歡就是“關(guān)心”。“思念”不符合文章前后邏輯。如果選“需要”則把關(guān)系顛倒了。
小題20: B 固定搭配 “博客”最大的好處在于使人們時刻保持著聯(lián)系。stay in contact with sb．=" keep" in touch with sb．“與某人保持聯(lián)系”

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before，”says Patsy Rowe，“ Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷達)．”Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise.Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet.To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward.It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds.When you have dinner with friends，you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone.We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life­changing news，so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with.What is worse，some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However，rudeness is never acceptable.Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you.If you have something awful to say，have the courage to face the person and say it，write a letter or email and sign it，or forget it.Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives.An important step ia acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be “l(fā)ast weekend.” Some people go even more often. Why? For one thing, malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place: food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, even medical services. So, are malls one of the highlights of modern civilization? Environmental activists would say No! They would go even further and say that consumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster. They cause consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl (擴大) .
Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a great deal in the last half century. Before 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation. Only very wealthy people had automobiles. Farmers lived in rural areas or isolated villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn’t produce themselves. If you gazed at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by countryside. Then a massive change occurred.
Automobiles became affordable and people were quick to adopt them. Now ambitious workers could live in the suburbs, the areas just outside cities, which started to grow rapidly. As long as there was lots of cheap land in the suburbs, no one paid much attention to the usage of that land. Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and car dealerships spread out in large, flat buildings. These one–storey buildings and their parking lot took up a great deal space. Well– meaning farmers thought they were better off selling their land than growing crops. In ignorance, no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land would be ruined forever. There was no way to preserve it.
Only in recent years have people come to mourn the old way of life as they have developed insight into the problems. Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems. The negative aspects of sprawl include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, and the death of businesses in the old town centers. Many scholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl. Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment.
小題1:What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．Weekend FunB．Urban SprawlC．New AutomobilesD．Isolated Villages
小題2:What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph?
A．ScientistsB．Activists.C．Farmers.D．Malls
小題3:Who do environmental activists blame for environmental problems?
A．Endangered animals.B．Shopping mall owners.
C．Unthinking shoppers.D．Ambitious farmers.
小題4:What do scholars think should be done about urban sprawl?
A．Understand the situations better.B．Follow customary policies.
C．Start school in shopping malls.D．Charge polluters a lot of money.
小題5:What is the scholars’ attitude toward urban sprawl?
A．Respectful.B．Negative.C．Positive.D．Doubtful.

On the high-speed train Avignon to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books. The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, but never once did she catch my eye. My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.
I was amused, but some people would have felt uncomfortable , even repulsed(厭惡的）.there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it’s a question of hygiene. And it’s a matter of degree. Making up --- a private act--- has a way of neglecting the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me, she was not with me.
In fact, I am generally prohibited from making up in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would do so.
Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920’s and 30’s. Deploring the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers. Peiss theorizes that it was female’s making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen.
Peiss tells me that after the 30’s , pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice. I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be “a gesture of inappropriate feminity(女性化）.” One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.
小題1:According to the author, “My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.” (Line 6, Para.1) most probably means “________”.
A．We were treated with an expressionless face.
B．We looked at the French woman expressionlessly
C．We used books as a wall to avoid the woman’s eyes
D．We were of no existence in the French woman’s eyes
小題2:In the author’s opinion, she _______.
A．a(chǎn)llows public making up on certain occasions
B．feels comfortable when making up in public
C．only makes up on social occasions
D．makes up before any professional gatherings
小題3:According to Peiss, nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that ____.
A．normal office work was disturbed
B．it discouraged women’s interest in career
C．make dominance was emphasized there
D．it distracted make workers’ focus on work
小題4:Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?
A．Because they are worried about being looked down upon
B．Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations
C．Because it implies women’s disadvantages in academic fields
D．Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males/
小題5:It can be inferred that in a highly open society, the differences between men and women ______.
A．have attracted little attention
B．hinder the social development
C．a(chǎn)re attractive topics in talk shows
D．still call for great concern

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population is mainly made up of older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(變化無常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis. But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not treated as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions（規(guī)定） of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
小題1:It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.
A．the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties
B．many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities
C．there is a serious shortage of academic facilities
D．homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education
小題2:The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.
A．350,000B．1,500,000C．440,000D．110,000
小題3:One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.
A．the homeless children are too young to be treated as children
B．the homeless population is growing rapidly
C．the homeless children usually stay outside school
D．some homeless children are deserted by their families
小題4:The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.
A．the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized
B．the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine
C．the address of grade-school children should be located
D．a(chǎn)ll homeless people should have free education

“How to Train Your Dragon” by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children’s literature. A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero’s hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children.
Let’s look at “Where the Wild Things Are” for further discussion. The story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king.
What an amazing piece of children’s literature! A treasure for every child’s library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken’s arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But more and more its audiences are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in children’s stories today than in the past.
While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children’s literature has become more vivid, and more colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children’s stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children’s literature is just being strangely twisted. I wonder how much influence the author have over this.
小題1:The Text is mainly about ________.
A．two good books for children
B．how a book is adapted into a film
C．whether children should go to movies
D．whether children’s literature is getting more violent
小題2:It can be inferred that the film “Where the Wild Things Are” is _______.
A．movingB．frighteningC．interestingD．a(chǎn)mazing
小題3:According to the text, the author thinks that ________.
A．the film industry’s treatment of children’s literature is wrong
B．writers should provide more colorful works for children
C．there is an increase in violence in children’s literature
D．children should read books rather than see films.
小題4:How does the text mainly develop?
A．By inferring.B．By giving explanations.
C．By providing examples.D．By making comparisons.

There is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US.
In 1978, 50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licence. In 2008, according to the US Transportation Department, it was just 30%. The number of those aged 19 and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978, when 11, 989, 000 had licence. In 2010, it was 9, 932, 441, or 4.1% of American drivers.
In the UK, 683, 273 teenagers have driving licences- just 1.85% of total licence holders, according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010.
But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states, which force drivers aged under 16 to be with licensed drivers of 21 years and older when driving.
In recent years, the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever. Car use began falling in 2007, when average petrol prices almost doubled to $4.12 a gallon, and the economy became worse.
But there are signs that it is getting back to normal and American remains a country on wheels. It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world.
“Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America. You have to take into consideration some places don’t have access to public transportation. Cars are the only way some people can get around,” says Kristin Nevels. This makes driving necessary in some rural states, where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities.
小題1:The underlined word “declining” in the second paragraph most probably means “__________”.
A．rising B．dropping C．improving D．holding
小題2:In recent years cars are used less than before mainly because of __________.
A．traffic jams B．harder tests C．expensive petrol D．worst economy
小題3:We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin Nevels __________.
A．doubts the popularity of the car use in the future.
B．thinks American people can not live without cars.
C．holds confident attitude to the cars’ future in America.
D．believes America should build up its public transportation.
小題4:What can be inferred from the text?
A．The UK has more teenager drivers than the US.
B．A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US.
C．The US has very developed bus transportation system.
D．Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US.

Kiss crisis, hug horrors and the UK's handshake headaches
Greeting someone, saying goodbye – these situations fill me with unease. You have a second to make a dangerous decision. One peck (輕吻)? Two pecks? Three? No kisses at all? Why, I think, as I crash into the other person’s face, why can’t it be as simple as a handshake?
A survey by the soap company Radox in May showed one in five Brits now feels a handshake is “too formal”, according to the Daily Mail. Some 42 percent said they never shook hands when greeting friends. For one third of people the alternative was a hug, for 16 percent a kiss on the cheek.
British people are known to be reserved (保守的) – unfriendly, some would say. Handshakes used to work for us because we didn’t have to get too close. But the super-British handshake is no longer fashionable. We want to be more like our easygoing Mediterranean neighbors who greet each other with kisses and hugs.
The trouble is, we still find it a bit awkward. What does a married man do when greeting a married female friend, for example? How should someone younger greet someone older?
Guys don’t tend to kiss one another; my male friends in Britain go for the “manly hug”, taking each other stiffly (不自然地) in one arm and giving a few thumps on the back with words like “Take it easy, yeah?”.
The biggest questions, if you do decide to kiss, are how many times and which cheek first. Unlike the French, who comfortably deliver three, our cheek-pecks usually end in embarrassed giggling (咯咯笑): “Oh, gosh, sorry, I didn’t mean to kiss you on the lips, I never know where to aim for first!”
But then it’s never been easy for us poor, uncomfortable Brits. Even the handshake had its problems: don’t shake too hard, but don’t hold the other person’s hand too limply (無力地) either, and definitely don’t go in with sweaty hands.
Maybe it’s better to leave it at a smile and a nod.  
小題1:What is the article mainly about?
A．Origin of the traditional British way of greeting someone.
B．New trends and problems that Brits have with the way they greet people.
C．Why the author feels uneasy when greeting someone or saying goodbye.
D．Differences in greetings between Britain and other Western countries.
小題2:What did the survey by the soap company Radox show?
A．It is now considered unfriendly to greet friends with a handshake in Britain.
B．A kiss on the cheek is becoming the most popular form of greeting in Britain.
C．Most Brits no longer offer to shake hands with those they meet.
D．More and more Brits prefer to be greeted with a hug or kiss.
小題3:The underlined word “awkward” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．not helpfulB．too informal C．quite embarrassedD．very interesting
小題4:Which does the author think might be the safest form of greeting for a British person?
A．A hug. B．A smile and a nod.C．A handshake. D．A kiss on the cheek.
小題5:Who wrote the article?
A．A British writer.B．An American writer.C．A French writer.D．A Chinese writer.

I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear，smartly tap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear.
Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question，he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self­mocking(自嘲)tone.“Young lady，I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave！”
Not long after that，my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding，which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don't remember ever hearing you mention that yon've got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money，“Everyone has to get married anyway，so it is better to get married sooner than later.”
I could think of no word to refute(反駁)her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others' suit in doing things. The use of We or Us will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun “I” would often give one a guilty conscience.
I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from(模仿) others and follow their suit. In turn，we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact，this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow others' suit like this, but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of us, and so we can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people.
小題1:The writer probably feels that it is ________.
A．necessary for the buyer to tap the watermelon
B．foolish of the buyers to buy watermelon without tapping it
C．funny that the buyers will tap the watermelons when buying them
D．wise of the elderly gentleman to tap watermelons before buy them
小題2:The writer uses the example of her friend's decision of getting married to show that ________.
A．her friend took no account of others's feeling
B．her friend decided to marry just to follow the crowd
C．her friend was a person who has strong personality
D．everybody in the world should marry for others
小題3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．It may be safe to follow others' suit in doing things.
