The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty（口渴的） playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡堿)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC)（國際奧委會） has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.
小題1:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ______
A．What’s the Use of Energy Drinks?
B．Who Can Drink Energy Drinks?
C．What’s that in Energy Drinks?
D．Why Can’t We Buy Energy Drinks?
小題2:The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替換) with ______.
A．dislikedB．helped C．stopped D．encouraged
小題3:From the passage we can know that ______.
A．energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagers
B．energy drinks are helpful to teenagers’ study
C．sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinks
D．a(chǎn)dvertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinks
小題4:Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ______.
A．they have beautiful colors and cool names
B．they have lots of caffeine
C．they can keep them awake and better at sports
D．they are said to be helpful to health

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:A
小題4:B

試題分析：文章大意：這篇文章講的是當天氣變熱或者運動之后，人們往往喜歡喝一些能量飲料，但是這些飲料含有大量的咖啡因，對身體是很不健康的，所以作者建議大家要少喝這些飲料。
小題1:D主旨大意題。這篇文章主要是圍繞能量飲料展開的，講了能量飲料的成分，人們?yōu)槭裁磹酆饶芰匡嬃弦约澳芰匡嬃蠈ι眢w的危害。故D正確。
小題2:C詞義推測題。第四段Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.一瓶能量飲料就能使你緊張，失眠。甚至導(dǎo)致心臟病。由此，可推斷出科學(xué)家說對青少年應(yīng)該是阻止他們喝含有大量咖啡因的飲料。故discouraged的意思應(yīng)是阻止，可替換成stopped。故C正確。
小題3:A推理判斷題。從文章中我們可以了解到廣告對于人們購買飲料有著很重要的作用。能量飲料對于青少年的學(xué)習(xí)沒有幫助。運動員應(yīng)該少喝能量飲料。These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players.這些飲料的目標人群是針對年輕人、學(xué)生、忙碌的人們和運動員�？芍�，B,C,D錯誤。故A正確。
小題4:B細節(jié)理解題。由第二段Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health.大多數(shù)的能量飲料有著誘人的顏色和酷酷的名字。從飲料的標簽可由看出這些飲料有益健康。由第三段Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake.制造生說他們的飲料能夠使你更擅長體育而且能使你保持清醒�？芍陨暇褪谴蠖鄶�(shù)人選擇能量飲料的原因。故B正確。

It’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better?
But something is happening to their children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.
They call it the “curse(詛咒)of Silicon Valley,” but the medical name for the condi­tion is autism(自閉癥). It used to be thought that autism was a kind of mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a neurological disease transmitted genetically. It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot commu­nicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild version of autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with num­bers or system but have no social skill. This very combination of symptoms makes Asperger’s sufferers into ideal computer professionals.
The Asperger’s sufferer has always been a well—known figure in popular culture. He or she was the eccentric but dedicated scholar or the strange uncle or auntie who never married. But the high numbers of such people in Silicon Valley mean that they can meet others who understand them and share their interests. And while they might not be per­sonally attractive, they can earn truly attractive amounts of money. They can get married and have kids. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do. It takes hours of work just to make autistic child realize that anyone else exists. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found. “It may be that autistics are essentially different from normal people, but that these differences make them invaluable for the evolution of the human race,” says Dr. Kirk Whilhelmsen of the University of California. “To eliminate the genes for autism could be disastrous. ”
It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
小題1:What does Dr Kirk Whilhelmsen think of autism?
A．It is disastrous to society.
B．It is not completely a bad thing.
C．It is a punishment to those working in Silicon Valley.
D．People with autism should never marry.
小題2:What can we learn about autism according to the passage?
A．It is believed to be a king of mental illness that can be cured.
B．People with autism can’t find people sharing their interests.
C．They do not care about the presence of others.
D．They are a burden for the society.
小題3:Why do people call autism “curse of Silicon Valley”？
A．Because autistic people live in Silicon Valley.
B．Because many people working in Silicon Valley have autism children.
C．Because people with autism will be driven out of Silicon Valley.
D．Because people with autism are not personally attractive and not liked by others.
小題4:What can we know about Asperger’s Syndrome according to the passage?
A．Asperger’s sufferers are ideal computer professionals.
B．Asperger’s sufferers never get married and have children.
C．Asperger’s sufferers are ashamed of themselves and locked into their own world.
D．Asperger’s sufferers can be beneficial to society if they are cured.

California, once regarded as a leader in the United States for its public higher education system, ranks next to the last in the U.S.for its number of adults with at least a high school diploma, according to the report, titled “California at the Edge of a Cliff,” released by the California Faculty Association.
Meanwhile, the state’s investment(投資) in public higher education has dropped over the past three decades, and now ranks 22nd in the country.That’s despite having the country’s largest public higher education system, the report said.
“It's a collapse(衰退),” said Thomas Mortenson, author of the report, who is an independent analyst living in Iowa and a senior scholar at the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education in Washington, D. C. “Ranking 49th out of 50 states is an indication that shows the quality of the state’s educational has become much worse in recent decades.” Mortenson said in the report.As of 2007, California ranked 14th in the United States in terms of college educated members of the workforce over 25 years of age, a drop from eighth place in 1981, the report showed.
Mortenson said that California has never been the state of high status in education and economy while other states have made greater gains in building a college-educated workforce.
The California Faculty Association is using the report’s findings to criticize Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposed funding cuts for education.
Struggling with a 14.8-billion-dollar state budget deficit(赤字), Schwarzenegger has proposed a combination of sales tax increases, borrowing and major budget cuts, including cutting billions of dollars from the state’s education budget.
小題1:The passage is mainly about __________.
A．California’s worse situation in higher education
B．the dangerous situation in California
C．California’s research on education and economy
D．funding cuts for high education in California
小題2:From the passage we can infer that __________.
A．investment in higher education has dropped in all states

Can you imagine learning by playing games. To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.
In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter (or be against) the myth that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."
Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable to (or easy to be attacked by) house breakers, to a new one with more security." The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says,". After all, I am left with that responsibility."
In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the Charge made against them is unjust.
小題1:It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards only children is _______.
A．ironicB．objectiveC．unfriendlyD．unjust
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ___________.
A．found a support group for their only children
B．do volunteer work to help their only children
C．let their only children make all the decisions alone
D．set good examples for their only children
小題3:Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ___________.
A．is the only one who cares about her
B．doesn't want to leave her alone
C．wants to share the responsibility with her
D．is worried about her safety
小題4:It is quite usual now for a working mother to ____________.
A．spend all her time and money on her only child
B．be responsible for bringing up her only child
C．have and bring up only one child
D．devote all her energy to her job
小題5:The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A．only children are ruined and irresponsible
B．only children have to face many challenges
C．most only children want to have brothers and sisters
D．most only children share their responsibility with their parents

Farmers, especially in developing countries, are often criticized for cutting down forests. But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value of keeping trees.
Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent tree cover on more than one billion hectares of farmland. That is almost half the farmland in the world. Earlier estimates were much lower but incomplete. The authors of the new study say it may still underestimate the true extent worldwide.
The study found the most tree cover in South America. Next comes Africa south of the Sahara, followed by Southeast Asia. North Africa and West Asia have the least.
The study found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas. Nor could the size of nearby populations, meaning people and trees can live together. There are areas with few trees but also few people, and areas with many trees and many people. The findings suggest that things like land rights, markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.
Dennis Garrity, who heads the World Agroforestry Center, says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees. The problem, he says, is that policy makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.
The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for, but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies. Even under drought(干旱)conditions, trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.
Some trees act as natural fertilizers. They take nitrogen(氮氣)out of the air and put it in the soil. Scientists at the Center say the use of fertilizer trees can re-duce the need for chemical nitrogen by up to three-fourths. Trees also capture carbon dioxide, a gas linked to climate change.
小題1:Through the study, the researchers found that               .
A．there are more trees on farmlands than expected
B．fewer trees are being cut in developing countries
C．most farmers still don’t realize the value of trees
D．trees play a key role in preventing climate change
小題2:Which of the following has the least tree cover?
A．Southeast AsiaB．West Asia.
C．South America.D．Africa south of the Sahara.
小題3:In Dennis Garrity’s opinion,              .
A．most farmers care about nothing but their own interests
B．there are usually few people living in areas with few trees
C．government plays a small role in tree planting and protection
D．government should support farmers in planting and protecting trees
小題4:The sixth paragraph mainly tells about          .
A．how farmers plant trees
B．what products trees can bring
C．the importance of trees to farmers
D．the environmental value of tree cover

I hear many parents saying that their teenage children are rebellion（反叛的）. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they degree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one another’s hands for safety.
They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蠶繭) -----into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award（獎勵） high narks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-----with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.
小題1:The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell_______.
A．readers how to be popular in the world
B．parents how to control and guide their children
C．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
D．people how to understand and respect each other

  How would you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers? According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.
Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary, opened the 2002 Education Technology Conference in London recently. To start the conference, she presented a video showing a computer—generated model of the school of tomorrow.
Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting as well as a more interesting way of learning.
At the same time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge”.
Children of all abilities will “form the curriculum(課程)around their individual needs.” They will “l(fā)earn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”.
At home or at school, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts.
Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual reality. If they don’t understand something, they can ask other students—“take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs”—or e-mail their teachers. They will hand in their work electronically to be “auto-marked”.
The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality.
And the Department of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology, Morris said. These ideas are based on the UK government’s plan to create an education system that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level. And provides the chance for students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.
小題1:According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, the school of the future will ______.
A．cause more problems such as being able to find enough teachers
B．set no homework and no tests for students
C．make good use of the computer technology and classroom assistants
D．enable students to learn by themselves without teachers
小題2:Estelle Morris thinks that computer technology does good to teachers in ________.
A．helping students develop their own way of learning
B．enabling students to experience interesting and exciting ways of learning
C．providing students with knowledge of all sorts
D．not being considered the source of various knowledge
小題3: If the students do not understand something, they can _______.
A．go on a field trip
B．go to ask their teachers to help them
C．send e-mail to ask for a teacher’s help
D．have a look at other learners’ homework
小題4: If s a student is under the UK’s newly-developed education system,he will be ________.
A．provided with a basic knowledge from the beginning
B．given more knowledge at primary school level
C．helped to use computers better
D．supplied chance to develop their basic skills
