8、ing a situation that looking impossible to fix? In 1969, the pollution is terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio. It _61(be)imaginable that it could be ever be cleaned up. The rive was so polluted that it _62(actual) caught fire and burned. Now year late,this rive is one of_63most ou

9、tstanding examples of environmental cleanup. But river wasnt changed in a few days_64even a few months. It took years of work _65(reduce) industrial pollution and clean the water.

10、le situation. Maybe you have a habit _67 is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or dont know how to control your credit card use. When you face such impossible situation, dont you want a quick fix and something to change immediately. While there are_68(amaze) stories of instant tr

12、han you need.

There a

13、re a number of ways that this can be _41_, i.e. school councils, year councils and peer mentoring.School councilsMost schools have a school council which exists to let the teachers and head teacher know what students _42_ are on a range of school issues. The school council usually consists of two or

14、 three elected _43_ from each year group.A school council might meet once or twice a month to discuss issues such as the dress _44_, the use of social areas, charity fundraising and bullying.Year councilsBecause school councils are sometimes _45_ by older students, some schools have introduced year

15、councils. The aim of a year council is to give students the opportunity to express opinions on _46_ of importance to that particular year group. The following is an example of the rules relating to a schools council for year 8 (pupils aged 12-13).The head of year will attend all council meetings as

16、an observer and both they and the other year staff will be _47_ as required to offer support and advice to council members and to assist in the settlement of arguments.Peer mentoringThere are other ways in which students voices can be heard. One of the most popular schemes involves peer mentoring. T

17、hose who express an interest receive training to become mentors (导师) so that they are better equipped to help others. This starts from primary school age, when the mentors may get involved in issues _48_ to conflict resolution. At secondary school and at university, mentors are likely to deal with a

18、 larger variety of issues, such as _49_ and health-related matters.The belief in schemes like these is that being heard by your peers can be more effective and helpful as fellow students may have more time and understanding than teachers or others in _50_.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirection

19、s: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Many people complain that their memory is bad, particularly as they get older. Life would be so much easier if we could remember thi

20、ngs _51_. So how can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, _52_), psychologists doubt whether it can help you to remember things for long. The Britis

21、h psychologist E.C. Stanford seemed to _53_ this point when he tested himself on five prayers that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of them! _54_, especially for remembering numbers, is chunking (分块), or grouping the informat

22、ion. The following numbers would be _55_ for most of us to remember. 31848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier. 1492 1789 1993 1848. So what about memory training? Weve all _56_ people who can memorise packs of card by heart - how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? _

23、57_ experts, there are various ways of training your memory. Many of them _58_ forming a mental picture of the items to be memorised. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind _59_ a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a sto

24、ry that includes all the things you want to remember. People were asked to remember up to 120 words using this technique; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to _60_ 90 per cent of them! Surprisingly, however, there is nothing _61_ about these methods - they were around even in ancien

25、t times. Apparently the Roman general Publius Scipio could _62_ his entire army - 35,000 men in total! _63_, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying large quantities of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form _64_

26、 connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: Do people get it from water?, What parts of the body does it affect? and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time s

A. passivelyB. silentlyC. amusinglyD. extensivelySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed

30、by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days, according to a

31、survey about socialising, conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world. Wherever you live, a typical night out is spent eating burgers, seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars. Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere. Diffe

32、rences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing. Most people surveyed felt that it was perfectly normal for groups of young women to go out alone, that it was equally acceptable for young women to smoke and drink, and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together

33、. For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents.Interestingly, however, most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with. Overall, only 10 per cent thought th

34、at parents treat their sons and daughters equally, and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!Important national differences appear, however, when it comes to time-keeping. In the Far East and Eastern Europe a night out starts - and finishes - much earlier: there seven oclock wa

35、s the average time for meeting up with friends. For many Southern European and South Americans, on the other hand, an evening out doesnt even start until ten or eleven oclock, by which time many of their South Korean or Japanese counterparts are safely home in bed! Parents rules reflect this. Most J

36、apanese parents expect their teenagers home by ten oclock or even earlier, whereas in Europe it is more likely to be eleven or twelve oclock. The most surprising findings came from Argentina, however, where it is apparently quite normal for 15 and 16-year-olds to stay out all night. But then perhaps

37、 this is because their parents have less to worry about - 80 percent of Argentine youngsters claimed that they rarely or never drink alcohol!66. Night out in Tokyo is similar to it in Milan because _.A. English-language activities are highly welcomedB. they are experiencing the different globalized-

38、cultureC. American culture is very popular all around the worldD. all the young people have the same habits and hobbies67. One of the biggest differences between young people and their parents lies in _.A. the music style and stars they loved B. their attitude towards paying money for dinnerC. the d

39、ecreasing number of young women smokingD. the time they meet up with people and have evening out68. In the last paragraph, “this” refers to _.A. evening outB. drinking alcoholC. time-keepingD. staying up late69. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. The same night-out life in all the modern ci

40、ties. B. The similarities and differences in social behaviors.C. Comparing night life between the east and the west.D. Parents different rules between their sons and daughters.(B)Your Write Source book is loaded with information to help you learn about writing. One section that will be especially he

47、t is well-known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters - after all, they probably spend more time with each other. Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the others sentence. In e

48、xceptional circumstances, this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they s

49、tarted school. However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each others company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities

50、 between them? Professor Tom Bouchard, of the University of Minnesota, set out to find the answer to this question. He traced sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed abo

51、ut every small detail of their life.The results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women a

52、rrived for their first meeting in similar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the Jim Twins made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 193

53、9, and adopted by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents. But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit

54、that our personalities may be at least partly due to nature. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasise that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.73. The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that _.A. twins communicate with

55、each other in an unusual way B. twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problemsC. most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new languageD. twins wont have an effective communication until they go to school74. The purpose of Tom Bouchards study is to find _.A. what will happen if twins

56、 spend lives entirely in the same company B. why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different familiesC. whether separated growing up has effect on twins special similaritiesD. when the special similarities come into being during their growing up75. What does the word “reading” in Paragraph

57、3 most probably mean?A. Book.B. Interpretation.C. Literature.D. Measurement.76. According to Tom Bouchards research, the special similarities between twins _.A. depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer from B. can not be proved or accepted by all the experts C. result from the twins growing up and developmentD. are n
