In contrast to what some might hope, students 55 finish their homework exclaiming that they had great fun. Nor is homework an activity that students choose to undertake. It is 56 by a teacher for students
31、 to complete on the teachers schedule, with the teachers requirements in mind. So to have the fight 57 Will be of great help.

In some cases, teachers seek to review and solidify material being covered in class; homework is also designed to 60 student learning beyond class lessons. As students mature, teachers often assign homework nightly in several subjects. Homework is al
33、so used to prepare students to handle new work, 61 in the ease of summer reading.

37、he following four passages. Each passage is followed 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)Saturday 28 April, 2001: Dennis Tito
38、 was setting off on his holiday. Mr Titos journey was certainly unusual! So was the transport he chose, and the price of his trip. The 60 year-old multi-millionaire from New York was sitting on board a Russian spaceship. He was on a journey to the International Space Station. It might have been a ro
39、utine trip for the two astronauts who were traveling with him, but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey. Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space, and he had paid the sum of $20 million to go there. As the spacecraft left the earths atmosphere, Tito drank a glass of fruit juice to cel
40、ebrate and looked down at the earths blue-green surface. Two minutes later, he was sick. Luckily it was only a minor problem. He soon recovered, and from then on enjoyed a smooth journey. When he arrived at the space station, there was a big smile on his face.“A great trip！”he commented.“I love peac
41、e.” For a long time space travel was something for heroes. But all this is going to change. Companies like ProSpace are investing large amounts of money in space travel. They want space and space travel to belong to the public, not just governments. There are other plans, like voyages through space
42、from one side of the world to the other. Maybe we will be able to depart from New York at nine oclock in the morning, and arrive an hour later- in Tokyo! Such a schedule would allow the business traveler to return to New York on the same day, and still have eight hours for a meeting! 65. Which of th
43、e following might be the best title of the passage?A. Business Travelers B. Space TouristsC.A Space Exploration D.A Frightening Adventure66. According to the passage, Dennis Tito .A. enjoyed his trip very much B. was too sick to eat anything in spaceC. suffered a lot during the trip D. didnt think t
44、he trip was worthwhile67. Which of the following statements is tree according to the passage?A. Tito was the first American tourist in space.B. Tito contributed all of his wealth to his space trip.C. Tito visited the Russian Space Station during his trip.D. Space travel has become a routine for Tito
45、 since then.68. It can be expected from the passage that .A. space travel will belong to the public instead of governmentsB. airplanes will some day reach the speed of space vehiclesC. will be able to circle the earth within less than an hourD. travel between two places on earth will be made through

According to the comments of the Physical Education teacher, Simon .A. is too talkative in the classB. likes to work with his classmatesC. doesnt exercise his body at the fight timeD. becomes weak becau

52、n language classes.B. His potential has been fully reflected in science classes.C. His grade in maths makes him a born scientist.D. He needs to improve his attitude on certain subjects.(C)Making fists is relaxing. It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down (its OK, its on a lis
53、t somewhere) and it makes you feel good when you cross something off 0ist-making is standard practice in therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them. Women always t
54、hink theyre better at lists than men. Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do. James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own “time management matrix (模式)”. He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories: t
55、hings that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but havent got to be done immediately and things that are less urgent but that he doesnt want to forget. “Using categories to order the world is the way the human mind works,” he says.
56、 “After that, you should divide things into levels of importance.” But he also warns, “If people get too absorbed in making fists, it doesnt work. They have too many categories and lose their ability to decide which is the most important.”Its all a question of what works best for you, whether its a
57、tidy notebook, a packet of Post-it notes or the back of your hand. Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list, which is printed out each morning. “My electronic organizer has changed my life,” she says. “Up to now, Ive always relied on my good memory, but now that Im
58、working and studying, I find Ive got too much to keep in my head.”So what are you waiting for? No, youre not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded time-managed life. In fact, theres no better time titan the present to begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out
59、 your pencil and pen and make a list. 72. The main purpose of making lists is to .A. help map out ones future B. divide things into levels of importanceC. treat certain diseases such as depression D. organize ones work and life reasonably73. We can learn from the passage that .A. good memory helps i
60、n list making B. too much listing might be misleadingC. women usually make a lot more lists than menD. people with high-powered jobs make lists most74. The word “categories” in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as“ ”.A. groups B. portions C .items D. areas75. In this passage the author
61、intends to .A. suggest a way of raising ones living standardB. introduce some ways of business managementC. urge people to develop the habit of listingD. warn people not to rely on their memory(D)“Racism (种族歧视) is a grown-up disease,” declares the saying on Ruby Bridges website along with a photo of
62、 Mrs Bridge today, a 6-year-old girl four decades ago. In the photo, she is walking up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, a little black girl accompanied by two officers who protect her on her way to school.Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the fir
63、st black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving - she was a very courageous child - and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不宽容) of all kinds. Rubys photo brings out another powerful ima
64、ge on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kid
65、s are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic. But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his painting
66、s communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.“The Problem We All Live With” belongs to Rockwells later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the f
67、inal copy, one sketch (草图) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched. The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now and she is completely unaffected.76. Ru
68、by Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because .A. she was a little fighter against racismB. she was very young, short and timidC. she was the first black to study at all-white schoolD. she was chosen by the complete white children77. According to the passage, “The Problem We All Li
69、ve With” is a(n)A. social program for American childrenB. famous painting by Norman RockwellC. photo displayed on Ruby Bridges websiteD. exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum78. The word “desegregate” in paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.A. fight against the white B. end racial separationC. struggle
70、for freedom D .stop the black-white conflict79. The main topic of this passage is .A. how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racismB. how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white schoolC. how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris workD. how persuasive Rockwells earlier work of art is (E)Dir
71、ections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Ways to beautify eyesB. Proper use of eye contactC. Techniques of sending eye signalsD. Colours of peoples eyesE. Functions of different parts of th
72、e eyeF. Variety of messages conveyed through eyes80. The coloured part of the eye is called the lens. There are three basic eye colours-brown, blue and green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In
73、fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they. are more sensitive to light.81. We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light. enters the eye through the pupil and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the b
74、ack of the eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve. The image on the retina is actually upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This happens because the lens isnt as flexible as when we are young and the eye muscles are weaker.8
75、2. Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we dont like something, the
76、y become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow. Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we cant see the signals.83.
77、 We find large eyes more attractive. Children have large eyes in proportion to their heads. Cartoon characters always have large eyes, too. We cant actually change our eyes, but we can make them look bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isnt new. Pictures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians
78、both men and women-used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eye shadow on the eyelids can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic. Glasses can also make eyes look bigger.84. We do not normally look into someones eyes for long, especially when they are very close. Eye contact can be ve
79、ry threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone. It is also very intimate. This is why lovers gaze into each others eyes. Its also why people dont look at each other in lifts.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the b
