31、n brothers and sisters dont get along，its called sibling rivalry(敌对). Its normal, but too much competition can make for an unhappy home life. Lets talk about getting along with brothers and sisters What is sibling rivalry? A little competition isnt a bad thing. Sometimes it can keep you working hard
32、, but some sibling rivalry involves arguing. People who love each other might argue sometimes, but too much fighting is unpleasant for everyone. Have you ever heard of the greeneyed monster called jealousy (嫉妒)? Sometimes brothers and sisters are jealous of one another. For instance, if your sister
33、always does well at school, it may be frustrating for you, especially if your grades are lower. Although youre probably proud of your sibling or siblings, its normal to be a little jealous, too. It may make you feel better to focus more on doing your own personal best, rather than comparing yourself
34、 with a brother or sister. Dont lose your coolSometimes when youre jealous and frustrated, its easy to lose your temper. Try to follow these tips to avoid getting into a fight with your brother or sister: Firstly, take a deep breath and think a bit. Secondly, remind yourself that you have special ta
35、lents. Finally, try to congratulate your siblings on their achievements and share their happiness. If you do this for them, theyll be more likely to do it for you.Hopefully, these tips will work.

45、to turn on your television. Can you? Or do you first need to call your partner, or your child, or whoever it is in your household who knows which handset to use and which buttons to press? If so, you are not alone. Our televisions are an unspoken disaster zone. Finally, somebody has said something.
46、All hail (致敬) the Duke of Edinburgh. “To work out how to operate a television set, you practically have to make love to the thing,” he says, in this weeks Saturday Review. “And why cant you have a handset that people who are not ten years old can actually read?”The Duke is often a reactionary (反动者),
47、 but this is not reactionary thinking. Our computers become ever easier to operate. Our cars almost drive themselves. Some mobile telephones, such as the phone, are obvious wonders: successful designs that could be operated by a child. The remote control of your television, by comparison, has change
48、d only for the worse. The first wide spread commercial remote control was the Zenith Space Command, designed in 1956. It had four buttons: power, channel up, channel down and volume. Oh, for such simple things in our lives today. Before long, the remote control was out of control. Not just with tele
49、visions, but with video players, too. They came and went, and a whole generation never figured out how to use them. Why not? In all other ways, televisual technology has developed a great deal. The screens have grown grander, the picture definition (清晰度) has grown higher, and the sound clearer. The
50、remote controls have merely grown. Nobody ever uses half those buttons. A remote revolution is long overdue.68.What does “Our televisions are an unspoken disaster zone” mean?A. Television is actually a great danger to humans.B. It is very difficult to use many TV handsets properly.C. We should treat

52、he authors attitude to television remote controls?A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral (中立的). D. Indifferent (漠然的)71. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Remote Revolution.B. From Buttons to Handsets.C. TelevisionsOut of Control.D. ComputersUnder Control.EWhen the six very best students from
53、different cities in Guangdong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1,
54、 its the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual a
55、ttraction to a great many mainland students.Its no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves. How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?First, Hong Kong universiti
56、es offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, its easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is grea
57、t.Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as
58、exchange students.Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.The fierce competit
59、ion brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among st
60、udents top concern when they are choosing universities. Its time to move.72.What is the passage mainly talking about?A. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.B. Higher education in Hong Kong.C. The competition between HK University and Peking University.D. The fall of mainland u
61、niversities.73.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because_.A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experienceB. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universitiesC. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opport
62、unities for their further study D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation74. What is the authors attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities? A. The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.B. Mainland universities had better lower their tu
63、ition fees and win back the top students.C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.D. It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.75. From the passage we can see HK universities_.A. didnt mean to enroll top students from main
64、landB. didnt expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popularC. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities 第II卷第四部分（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） It is interesting to know wh
65、at people of different nations like to do best. In France, when a woman enters a cafe or restaurant, she is freely discussed, not only about her appearance but about her past and future as well. She invites looks in the street whether she is beautiful or plain. There is no better way for a woman to
66、get back her self-confidence than a walk in the streets of Paris or Marseilles, and women really like that. In Italy, people love talking. They sit about in cafes, exchanging news and discussing politics. They do not hesitate to ask questions about the family, income and private life of anybody who
67、happens to be there. The Swiss eat as a pastime. Ladies walk into a teashop, eat a couple of ice creams and a large piece of chocolate cake, and then leave, complaining about their weight. For the Americans, the greatest fondness is said to be the push of buttons. You push a button in the lift, you
68、push a button for cigarette, chewing gums, stamps, even for a life insurance. You can even push a button to get married and another button to get divorced.

73、ycles. As is known to us, air pollution and heavy urban traffic are becoming increasingly severe mainly due to the overuse of cars. Therefore, its high time we chose another better means of transport, that is, cycling. ZxxkThere are many good reasons to ride bicycles. First of all, compared to cars,
74、 bicycles are much cheaper to buy and maintain, and you dont have all the added costs of fuel, and parking. Whats more, bicycles are more environmentally friendly than cars, because they hardly make noises and exhaust. Cycling has become a new trend around the world, a good way of energy saving and
75、low-carbon life. Last but not least, cycling is an excellent way to keep fit and live longer.
