It seems that  31  can survive without one. Mobile phones are a great  32  to stay connected with friends and family.  33  , it is important to remember that there are certain times  34  you should not be using your phone, especially as a student, during school.      35  you are in class, you should not be sending your friends text messages  36  taking phone calls.

It seems so easy just to send a short text message; it’s not hurting anyone, is it? But you may actually be hurting  48  when you do this.

This quickly turned to afternoon get-together, where kids, dogs and grown-ups formed firm friendships.Now the pair and their pets meet several times a week on the grass near Sandringham College, a place for a huge network of dog owners who have formed all kinds of friendships and a good old-fashioned sense of community. Dogs, it seem, are good for social life.The combination(结合) of excited kids and dogs could be a recipe (处方) for disaster and Miller says it is surprisingly harmonious(和谐的). “There are some other people who don’t have kids but have started to meet us quite regularly,” she says. “the other day, there were seven dogs, five adults and six children all walking around the park together.”Friendships formed through pets seem to cross cultural and age barriers(阻碍) and often include helping when someone is sick or needs help to care for a bet. A woman says she’s answered several SOS calls from elderly people who have become ill suddenly and need a help. “The friendships are such that you see these people every day and you get to know them and they trust you with their pets and know they can call you at the last minute,” she says.One dog owner says that, even as a child, she noticed how dogs could act as conversational ice-breakers for adults. Like people, dogs are also social creatures. “Dogs need to meet others,” she says, “they are pack animals.”51. The friendships formed through walking dogs usually began with ____________.A. detailed descriptions of the pets    B. polite greetings to the petsC. short conversations about the pets   D. lots of work of walking dogs52. What’s the result of the combination of dogs and people ?A. Dogs may cause disasters for children. B. People can live harmonious lives with dogsC. People without children are lonely.  D. The park is very crowded.53. How do people benefit from friendships formed through pets ?A. People know each other too well to have secrets.B. They can help him \ her when a person is in needC. It’s easy for people to call each other.D. People can only get help at the last minute.54. According to the last paragraph, dogs ________________.A. are ice-breakers for children    B. are like people in many waysC. are unnecessary for children    D. naturally like getting together      B    It was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island. With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.    The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious（无意识的）, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”    On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.    First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.    He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?    Grasping firmly a ball of string（线绳） from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand，he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.    Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.55．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?    A．He wanted to find out what was happening.    B．He was worried about his mother’s safety.    C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.    D．He went to see if his father had come back from work.56．How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?    A．By throwing water all over her and her bed.    B．By carrying her to safety with his brother.    C．By pushing and pulling at her.    D．By tying a string to her hand.57．What did Glenn do to protect himself?    A．He put a wet cloth around his head.    B．He threw water all over himself.    C．He hid himself in the bathroom.    D．He rushed out to the lawn.58．Glenn saved his family because___________.    A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone    B．he had learned something about first aid    C．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely    D．he had followed his mother’s instruction C    It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners．Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say．They hear only what the speaker does say．If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them, just continue as if nothing happened.    Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter．If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech ——“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles（结巴）his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making．People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication．They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer．They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely. 59. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________.    A．be smarter than you         B．notice your mistakes    C．do better than you           D．know what you are talking about60. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________.    A．your attention is on the content.    B．you don’t fully understand the speech    C．you don’t know what the speaker plans to say    D．you find the way of speech-making more important61. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.    A．giving a speech is like giving a performance    B．one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad    C．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made    D．the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be62. What would be the best title of the passage?     A．How to Be a Perfect Speaker   B．How to Make a Perfect Speech    C．Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech   D．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech63. Which of the following statements is true?    A．If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech.    B．Speech-making is a kind of performance.    C．Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message.    D．Martin Luther King is not a good speaker. D    When a friend is sad about a tragedy(悲剧)，it’s hard to know how to comfort(安慰) him/ her. But the worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could mean that you don’t care. You don’t have to say much.. A single supportive phrase doesn’t require absolutely perfect words to break the ice. Here are some conversation starters when difficult situations have your tongue tied.1. A friend loses his baby.    Don’t say: “Don’t worry. You’re so young. You’ll have another baby.” Do say: “ I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but if you want to talk about it, call me anytime.”2. A guy deserts your friend.    Don’t say: “I never liked that rat bastard (坏蛋) anyway!” ( If the couple winds up reconciling (和解)， you could end up losing your friend.) Do say: “Breaking up is always hard to deal with, but I’m here for you, whatever you need.”3. A friend has a death in the family.    Don’t say: “It’s God’s will.” or “I know exactly how you feel.” Do say: “I’m sorry about your loss. What can I do to help?”4. A friend loses a job suddenly.    Don’t say: “ Work is always boring. Those employers didn’t suit you!” Do say: “ I’m sorry for that, but I know there’s an even better job waiting for you there. Let’s think about possibilities.”5. Someone’s pet dies.     Don’t say: “Gee! It was only a cat!” or “ My roommate doesn’t like her dog and she is getting rid of her dog. Do you want it?” Do say: “I’m sorry, she was such a great cat. How long did you have it?”64. Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined part “have your tongue tied”?   A. make your tongue shut             B. tie your tongue in order not to say.   C. have no suitable words to say.        D. say what you want freely.65. As a whole, what’s the best way to comfort your friend troubled with a tragedy?   A. To show your sorrow and offer your help.   B. To try to make the tragedy less serious.   C. To tell your friend not to think about it any more.   D. To do your best to make him/her cheerful again.66. Though your friend is deserted, you’d better not say dirty words about her/ his friend because________ .   A. they might get along well again and you might be deserted   B. your friend might not like you to say that against her / his friend   C. it may be a sign that you don’t care for your friend   D. your friend might hate you in the future E    The classical study of family size and IQ was conducted in the Netherlands. It was based on the military examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the brightest subjects came from the smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in a family of two was usually brighter than the last child in a family.    The effects of family size on intelligence(智力) may be explained by what a house full of children does to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases the amount of parental attention he or she receives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless children is more likely to ask them to play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child interacts(交往) with an adult alone, the child learns more and therefore intelligence is increased. Researchers have also found that parents often expect more from their first-born, which motivates(激发) such children to seek a higher standard.    Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data need to be examined more closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industrialized nations most large families come from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order, may be influencing intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations(基因突变) within families that also explain the cause of differences.    If firstborns have advantages in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that they may be more conforming(墨守陈规) and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings (brothers and/or sisters). Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is clear that such factors as birth order, the order in which boys and girls are born into a family, the number of years that separate siblings probably have an effect on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships.67. The underlined word "subjects" in the 1st paragraph means __________.   A. branches of knowledge     B. persons chosen to be studied in experiments   C. citizens of a country      D. things talked about in a conversation, discussion or book68. According to the research, usually the elder in a two-child family is _________.   A. cleverer than the younger          B. no cleverer than the younger   C. less clever than the younger   D. as clever as the younger69. Why are firstborns encouraged to seek a higher standard?   A. They are more likely to obey others.     B. Their parents spend less time with other children.   C. They are more conforming.      D. Their parents expect more from them..70. The best title for this passage would be _________.   A. Family Size and IQ       B. Boys Cleverer Than Girls?   C. The Development of Intelligence  D. Factors Influencing IQ              第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分） 阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。71. _______________________________(正如我们所能看到的) from the graph, the number of TV watchers is increasing rapidly compared with the film-goers.  (see)72.
