I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only th
18、en did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would expla
19、in that I needed my mothers permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didnt bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heathers pajamas.As the othe

Ill stay up to go one more time. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up
21、. I did the only thing I could do I pretended that the bed-wetting didnt happen. I got up, took off Heathers pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopp
22、ed as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , Elvis Presley died!”The news of the Kings death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other

A. magazine B. travel brochure(旅游手册) C. textbook D. novelCChildrens lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?Its difficult to look
33、 back on ones own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them. Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or
34、exploring the nearby woods. My parents hardly appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure. These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatlyFirstly, families are smaller, and there are far more onl
35、y children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isnt time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change
36、is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.Finally, the ki
37、nd of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情）is that so many ways of playing games are called interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games
38、on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same . 64What is the purpose of the direct ques
39、tion given in the first paragraph?ATo show who the passage is written for.BTo gather peoples opinions on childhood.CTo get peoples attention and lead in the topic.DTo compare the childhood lives of two generations.65Which is a reason for the changes?AFamilies are bigger today.BIts too dangerous to p
40、lay outside.CChildren play more interactive games. DParents worried too much about their children.66What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph?AYoung people today shouldnt play electronic games.BComputer and video games have replaced the board games.CSome games that young people play toda
41、y arent really good.DBoard games are much more interesting than computer games.67The writers attitude towards the childhood changing is _ .Aapproving Bobjective Cunconcerned DoptimisticDAs you climb into the hill country, the roads get dustier and rougher, and fewer cars can be seen. Phonxay is one
42、of the poorest districts of Laos, and many of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank that can be found just off the road. A UK organization helped to build it six years ago, and in the nearby village of Thapho, where clean drinking wat
43、er is scarce, it has made a big difference. The tank feeds six taps which in turn give water to over 800 people-it has improved things for almost every family, from schoolchildren to grannies. But lately, we were told, the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals, people who have
44、 come down from the hill areas, and there are concerns that there will not be enough clean water to go round. There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400km railway link, which could transform the landlocked country. About 150,000 Chinese workers will be inv
45、olved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?The vast majority of Laotians live on farms. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be moved to make room for them. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment,
46、Laos still falls well behind its neighbours, although its economy has grown at about 6% a year in the last decade. Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign tourism continues to gro
47、w: fortunately so far the fast-food chains and coffee bars common elsewhere are nowhere to be seen. Although all local media are government-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are available to those with satellite dishes.The government has also achieved impressive results in rura
48、l development, with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of t
49、he UNs least-developed category by 2020.68. The underlined word ”scarce” in paragraph 1 most probably means_.A. valuable B. rare C. infrequent D. missing69. What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?A. Dust from the road is making the water dirtier.B. There are too many taps access
50、ing the water.C. The population of the area is growing fast.D. The coming summer will dry up rivers and lakes.70. What is the most serious limitation on Laos economic growth?A. The lack of local skilled workers. B. A poor transportation system.C. Too much foreign aid. D. Too many foreign workers.71.

Laos: landlocked countryEHe wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross(粗俗的) and violent stimulants(刺激物)”. And it appears th
52、at simply reading those words by William Wordsworth proves his point.Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, lifting the readers spirits by catching their attention and leading to moments of self-refle
53、ction.Using equipment, they examined the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a more simplified, modern translation.And, according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more “challenging” works set off far mo
54、re electrical activity in the brain than the ordinary versions.The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right hemisphere (脑半球) of the brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the reader to reflect on and reevaluate their own experiences in
55、 light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.The brain responses of 30 volunteers was monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and “modern” form.In one example, volunteers read a line from K
56、ing Lear, “A father and a gracious(仁慈的) aged man: him have you madded ”, before reading the simpler “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged(使暴怒)”.Shakespeares use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward translation.“Reading cl

It is a matter of deep versions of experience that promotes the cognitive(认知的) ability,” said Prof Davis, who will present the findings at the North of England education conference in Sheffield this week.72.

58、 those words by William Wordsworth proves his point”?A. William Wordsworths poems are full of wisdom.B. It excites readers to read William Wordsworths poems.C. Only gross and violent words can arouse peoples excitement.D. William Wordsworths poems are the application of gross and violent stimulants.

But they just busied themselves in playing their cellphones, totally ignoring their grandpa, who let out a de
67、ep sigh and left the party. There is no doubt that cellphones have a negative impact on our lives. Heavy use of cellphones actually widens the distance between teenagers and their elders, leaving the elders more lonely. Worse still, addition to cellphones might also leads to teenagers poor performance at school, which adds to elders worries. As far as Im concerned, its necessary to limit the time we spend using cellphones. And I attach great importance to communicating with our family members face to face, which helps build a harmonious family atmosphere.
