16．[1]In America，when the eighth graders leave the middle school，they are often worried about moving to the high schoo1．It is a hard time for them，but it can be an exciting one as well．To make it easier，students need to get familiar with their school．
[2]Even though they've done this already in the middle schoo1，it's still important to find where their classrooms are．Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year．And most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins．Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the schoo1．This can help students and parents to find different places of the schoo1．
[3]One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to _______________or play a sport．Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports．Fall activities begin in August before the first day of schoo1．If you are not interested in sports，there are clubs for any interest，such as drama，dance，chess，photography，community service，etc．These clubs allow students from different grades．By joining an activity，students can find new friendships，not to mention improving their chances in future college applications．The school office will have a 1ist of activities offered at the schoo1 and information on how to join them．
[4]What's more，to have a great start to a high school year，students can write down some of their worries and ask for help from teachers and school workers．

66．What does the word"it"in the first paragraph refer to？（no more than 5words）moving to the high school．
67．Why do many schools take students to visit their new high school？（no more than 10words）To make the students get familiar with their school．．

15．A failed plot to kill Barack Obama，uncovered by US federal agents recently，has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers．
Two white American Neo-Nazi racists （新納粹種族主義者） had planned to kill 88African Americans，before finally assassinating （暗殺） Obama．The number"88"is equated with"HH"，initials （首字母） for the Nazi greeting，"Heil Hitler"．"H"is the eighth letter of the alphabet．
Many people were not familiar with the Neo-Nazi importance of 88，but associations attached to other numbers are more well-known，if not always believed．The number 13，for instance，is considered deeply unlucky．
In the US，many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13．They instead label it 12A，or use the letter M，which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet．New York's John F．Kennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13．And the popular Irish flight carrier，Ryan Air，has banished （摒棄） row 13from all its planes．
Last year when Brussels Airline put 13dots in their new logo，the flood of complaints was so vast the airline was forced to change their"unlucky logo"and add an additional dot．
The fear comes from a Bible story，which states that Judas Iscariot，the disciple （門(mén)徒） who betrayed （出賣(mài)） Jesus，was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper．
But the most fascinating fear of the number relates to Friday the 13th．It's a day of double bad luck．In the US，many people would not schedule a wedding for Friday the 13th．According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in the US，an estimated 17to 21million Americans are affected by a fear of this day．

51．From the first two paragraphs，we can know thatC．
A．a(chǎn) lot of Americans want to kill Barack Obama
B．the number 88is equated with 13
C．there are still racists in the US

C．see a floor numbered 3   D．have an M floor
54．From the passage，we can know that the Brussels AirlineB．
A．doesn't have row 13                B．has 14dots on its logo
C．has no flight take off on Fridays   D．was once stuck in a flood
55．From the last paragraph but one，we can learn thatD．
A．Jesus wrote the Bible
B．Judas was the 13^th disciple of Jesus
C．Judas read a Bible story in the Last Supper
D．Judas betrayed Jesus．

14．Since IQ testing began a century ago，women have been as much as five points behind，leading psychologists to suggest genetic differences between the male and the female．
That gap has been narrowing in recent years and this year women have moved ahead．
The finding has been made by James Flynn，a world-famous expert on IQ tests．"In the last 100 years，the IQ scores of both men and women have risen but women's have risen faster，"said Flynn．"This is a result of modernity．The complex modern world is making our brains adapt and raising our IQs．"
One possible explanation is that women's lives have become more demanding as they multitask between raising a family and doing a job．Another might be that women have a slightly higher potential intelligence than men and are only now realizing it．
Flynn also made the great discovery that scores in western countries increased by roughly three points a decade，which means people today get 30 more points than those living 100 years ago and that IQs can be improved．
Flynn conducted new IQ tests in western European countries，America，Canada，New Zealand，Argentina and Estonia，which showed that the gap between men and women had become very small．In New Zealand，Estonia and Argentina，women scored slightly higher than men．
Maybe because of this，many women have exchanged the role with their husband in family life．Helena Jamieson，33，works a full-time job and her husband，Luke，37，is a stay-at-home father．Helena said，"I'm definitely the more intellectual person in the relationship and I'm at work full-time rising up the career ladder while he is raising our daughter．"
She added，"In the past，men would look down on me，thinking that I was a woman and not as smart as them．But today，things have changed．I think women probably always know secretly deep down that they are the more intelligent ones-but as the gentler sex，we were just quiet about it in the past and let men believe that they ruled the world．"
33．In the psychologists'view，what led to women getting lower scores than men in IQ tests？B
A．Family genes
B．Genetic differences．
C．Educational levels
D．Job positions．
34．Helena's words in the last paragraph show thatA．
A．women may have been thinking they are smarter
B．men have the right to continue ruling the world
C．things have changed and men have got less clever
D．women were looked down upon，for they were quiet
35．The main idea of the passage is thatD．
A．wives now serve as breadwinners while husbands raise children
B．people today are much smarter than those living 100 years ago
C．in western countries，women scored higher than men in IQ tests
D．women's IQ has risen faster and has even gone beyond men's．

13．Culture Shock
    Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings （of surprise，uncertainty，confusion，etc．） felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment，such as a foreign country．
Generally speaking，we could say that there are four stages of culture shock．The first stage is called"the honeymoon"．In this stage，you are excited about living in a different place．（36）G
    The next stage is"the hostility（敵意）stage"．In this stage，you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was．（37）D Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．
    Then you come to the third stage called"recovery"．In this stage，you start to feel more positive．（38）BThe whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it．
    The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment"．In this stage，you have reached a point where you actually feel good．（39）EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable．
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages．（40）CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another （e．g．，from high school to college）．

A．You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock．
B．And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．
C．In addition，culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor．
D．You become tired of many things about the new culture．
E．You have learned enough to understand the new culture．
F．You begin to understand you need to travel a lot．
G．And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you．

12．It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy
in my class who came from a non-English speaking home．He was very quiet and shy．I wasn't sure how much he understoo    It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy d during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play．If I tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me．
    After a day or two of this，I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls．I called her over and she ran to me，ready to help．
    I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her．I asked her if she would try to get him to play，and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communication with him．I explained she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea．She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can，and said，"Don't worry，I speak kid"．And she ran off．
    I stood there all alone，silently watching her．It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag（捉人游戲） taking place all over the gym．
    I often think of that small moment，about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid-big kid，little kid and middle kid．I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the opportunity away．We must be ready to learn from our students because those"teachable moments"during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids．

A．the girl could speak the language that kids understand
B．the girl could speak the boy's mother language
C．the girl could know what the boy want to say

10．Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fact or reason．Examples of prejudice in schools include believing that some students are particular type of people simply because of the way they dress or act，or believing that a certain group is good at sports simply because many peop1e in that group are goad at sports．Another example is believing that a boy is good at science because many boys are good at science．
    I would like to cite more examples from the English literature．The best example of"prejudice"can be found in Jane Austen's novels．Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as"novels of manners"．Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are concerned，"prejudice"is inevitable!Austen's famous novel Pride and Prejudice is the best example in this respect．When you read the novel，the very first line that would strike you is"it is a truth universally acknowledged，that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife．"It is an example of 18th century English middle class prejudice that eventually looked upon women just as an object that would serve as the basic sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior and well acquired financial status．This novel is chiefly about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior．The characters Elizabeth and Darcy，in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel，highlight their personal prejudices towards one another that arise from their different social strata（階層）．Darcy，a rich man，at first，fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth because of her low social status："she is tolerable； but not handsome enough to tempt me；"and Elizabeth，proud of her"first impressions"，failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy．
33．What is"prejudice"defined in this passage？C
 A．Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based on one's own experience．
 B．Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another．
 C．Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming aware of fact or reason．
 D．Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things．
34．The underlined word"inevitable"in the second paragraph probably_meansA．
A．unavoidable   B．reasonable   C．unbelievable   D．valuable
35．From the novel Pride and Prejudice，we can't learn thatB．
A．where manners and social behavior are concerned"prejudice"is inevitable
B．"prejudice"was defined and compared with"pride"in 18th century
C．it's about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior
D．personal prejudices towards one another arise from different social strata．

9．[1]Every year，lots of children die in traffic accidents，and many of these tragedies occur because child safety seats are not properly installed or are not used at all．As more and more families buy private cars，it's time to ______ the safety of children．
[2]Parents tend to let the child sit alone in the front passenger seat，or leave the child alone in the back of the car without any safety restraints，have the child held in an adult's lap，or have the child use an adult's safety belt．All of these can potentially add elements of danger for a child in a car．
[3]In the 1970s，Western countries began to research safety devices for children in cars．It was later found that special safety devices for children in cars will help to reduce injury by about 70 percent，and child safety seats play a key role in protecting children in case of traffic accidents．
[4]Since 1999，automakers have been required to put child restraint systems in cars in the United States．There are more than 25 million child safety seats in the United States，compared to only 600，000 in China．Today，more than 40 countries in the world have already issued relevant legal regulations，making it compulsory that children sit in safety seats．In Germany，the Netherlands and Japan，children under 12 years old are required to sit in child safety seats．
[5]China is a manufacturing base for child safety seats，but the market in China is still limited．As a result，while we export our products to other countries，our own children in China are rarely provided with safety seats for various reasons．We hope this situation will be improved．
66．What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？（no more than 10 words）
Elements of danger for a child in a car．
67．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words．（no more than 5 words）
pay more attention to
68．Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5？
Though large quantities of safety seats are made in China，few are used by the Chinese car owners．
69．List at least 3 elements of danger for a child in a car．
1）sit alone in the front passenger seat
2）leave the child alone in the back of the car without any safety restraints
3）have the child held in an adult's lap
70．What does the author want to tell us by writing such an article？（no more than 12 words ）The situation of using safety seats in China should be improved．．
