Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buygam
24、es, CDs and clothingare easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parents card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cy
25、ber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and 20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school88
26、 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something onlinemainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their chi
27、ldren. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart card
28、s in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.56. What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Sellers. B. Buyers. C. Teenagers. D. Parents

Online shopping traps. B. Internet users in the US and the
31、 UK.C. New credit cards for parents. D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.(B) Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mums storytelling to Dads, researchers said.They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were
32、most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continue
33、s to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in childrens lives, said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of
34、500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they
35、 would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson.It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their childs d

38、 able to find it again years later.I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round
39、in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didnt know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they
40、 do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are goin
41、g in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a
42、man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crow
43、d behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.63. What is the write
44、r going to do when someone asks him for direction?A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.C. He will give the very person long list of direction.D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.64. Why did the wr
45、iter consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A. Because of his poor sense of direction.B. Because he always forget the way to home.C. Because he did not have any friend.D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.65. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A. H
46、e felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed.C. He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.66. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?A. Someone we dont know. B. The writer did it for himself.C. The secretary did so. D. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing. (D)“Life is speed
47、ing up. Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improve the qual
48、ity of our lives?Picture this: Youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to
49、 stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be
50、happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machin
51、e, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benja
52、min also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Dont be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Dont check
53、your e-mail every day.Dont reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.67. The passage is mainly about _.A. problem with technology B. improvements of our life with technologyC. the important roles technology plays in

The writer quoted (引用) what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to _.A. share a truth about life B. tell us what life was like long time agoC. make us wonder what causes such a thing
55、to happenD. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same69. Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house? Because _.A. they liked to live simple livesB. they were curious about how people lived without modern inventionsC. they were troubled by modern inve

They
66、re really terrible, but they occur somewhat often, and this is why you see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected by natural disasters.While the world is a very beautiful place to live in, there will always be parts of the world where natural
67、disasters happen more often than in other places, where properties（财产）and lives are destroyed. Only the people who live in the country where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other disasters occur experience these, and we can only imagine the suffering that they go through.For some people out ther
68、e, the world is cruel, but they have no choice but to stay where they are. A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away, as they might not be able to get a job when they leave.In 2004, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. A tsunami is a large wave that towers hundreds of feet into
69、the air, and covers whole areas when it comes crashing（冲进） down on to dry land. This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea, shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land. This tsunami actually reached thirty meters in height, and was one
70、 of the worst waves the world has ever seen. Over 200,000 people were hurt in the disaster.In 2005, we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States. This hurricane was known as hurricane Katrina, and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world. It happened in 2005 and destroyed millions o
71、f properties in the area. It also took the lives of nearly 2,000 American people. It was known that for ten days, the wind swept through the area, meaning the most powerful country in the world became helpless in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.Finally, in 2008 w
72、e saw yet another natural disaster. This time it was a cyclone (旋风), which is similar to a hurricane but happens in a circular motion (圆周运动). This cyclone Nargis had been one of the strongest to have ever occurred, causing the death of nearly 150,000 people. All of these were terrible disasters that
73、 were unavoidable.Title: Forces of NatureIntroductionDestructive forces of nature refer to natural disasters (76) _ tsunamis and earthquakes.(77) _ When these terrible disasters occur in some parts of the world, they (78) _ properties and lives. People in these parts go through the (79) _ that only
74、exists in our imagination. Some people out there have to (80) _ where they are. They cant afford to move away, as jobs in other places might not be (81) _.Examples The 2004 tsunami reached a (82) _ of thirty meters and it was one of the worst tidal waves in the world. The 2005 hurricane known as Kat
75、rina swept through parts ofthe US, causing great loss. Even the most powerful country could do(83) _ to save its people. The 2008 cyclone called Nargis had been one of the strongest, leaving nearly 150,000 people (84) _.SummaryThese terrible disasters couldnt be (85) _.第二节 书面表达(满分25分)今天，你收到了好友小玲的一封信

How are you getting along with your study?I am pleased that you want my advice on whether you should buy a mobile phone or not. If you do not
79、mind, I suggest that you should not buy one. Why? First, it takes up too much time to send or receive short messages. Therefore the time that you should spend on studies becomes shorter. Second, it is forbidden to use mobile phones at school because sometimes you have to respond the call in class. O
80、therwise, your behavior can disturb others. Third, you may be disturbed by some false short messages. Furthermore, as a student, you have to ask parents for the phone expense. That is, they will burden more to support you than before. You must, of course, use your own judgment, but I would suggest this.Best wishes. Yours, Li Lei.
