Although many Chinese students say their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. 61     However, their spoken English does not have to remain poor I would suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First,  62    Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, 63      Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowance for any mistakes he hears.
The third,   64    You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,    65      Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their spoken English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
A not enough attention is paid to listening.
B they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of  limited vocabulary.
C most Chinese students are not active language learners.
D They are so stupid that they cannot finish their necessary homework in time.
E Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, "My spoken English is poor."
F it is no use crying over spilt milk.
G they are afraid of making mistake .

Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behaviour agree that there is virtually an epidemic (流行。﹐f sleepiness in the nation. “I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr. David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.
The beginning of our sleep-deficit crises can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9. 5 hours a night. “The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.” By the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7. 5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “People cheat in their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr. David. “They think they’re okey because they can get by on 6. 5 hours, when they really need 7. 5, 8 or even more to feel ideally energetic. ”
Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researches say, is the complexity of the day. Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programme. “In our society, you’re considered dynamic if you say you need only 5. 5 hours’ sleep. If you’ve got to get 8. 5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition. ”
To determine the consequences of sleep-deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiting them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. “We’ve found that if you’re in sleep deficit, performance suffers,” says Dr. David. “Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate. ”
41. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Research on the causes and consequences of sleep-deficit.
B. The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times.
C. The history of people’s sleeping patterns.
D. The minimum of our sleeping hours.
42. Which of the following is Dr. David’s opinion?
A. People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don't.
B. Some people can remain energetic with only 6. 5 hours’ sleep a night.
C. If they get 8. 5 hours’ sleep, people will be full of drive and ambition.
D. People’s metal power suffers if they are lacking in sleep.
43. People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9. 5 hours a night because _______.
A. they were forced by their parents to do so
B. they knew what was best for their health
C. they had no electricity
D. they were not so dynamic and ambitious as modern people are
44. What does the word “subjects” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Persons or things being discussed or described.
B. Branches of knowledge studied in a school.
C. Persons or things being treated in a certain way or being experimented on.
D. Any member of a state apart from the the supreme ruler.

My grandmother Myra is very dedicated woman. Once she sets her mind on something, then there's no stopping her. In this case, that's a good thing because to do what she did requires extreme dedication.
She was born in Montreal, Canada. Her mother died of cancer in her forties and her father wasn't very supportive of her and her younger sister. Because of this, my grandmother became extremely close with her sister Rhea.
Early in her life, my grandmother was a little fat and she was picked on for it. Because she missed her mother so much, she turned to food for false love.

In the end she was very satisfied. She dropped over two hundred pounds and didn't need her wheelchair anymore. Because of the experience she went through, she helps other people to slim down. Also because she knows how it feels to be overweight, she's now a nutrition counselor (營(yíng)養(yǎng)顧問). She knows more about food's effect on health than anyone I know.

Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.
The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.
These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.
Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺點(diǎn)) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”
59.The passage is especially intended for _________.
A.parents with young daughters
B.girls who like reading fairy stories
C.girls who think they can change their partners
D.parents with grown-up daughters
60.Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.
A.they all married some princes
B.they all changed their partners with love
C.they were all abused by their partners
D.they all put up with abuse
61.Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?
A.They don’t believe in fairy tales.
B.They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.
C.They have also experienced abuse.
D.They survived abuse.
62.What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A.kind-hearted      B.obedient       C.gentle                 D.easy-going

Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was impossible.
On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.
55.This selection says that Thomas Edison ________.
A.was the only important American inventor  B.received the first American patent
C.received more patents than any other American  D.was the first American inventor
56.People decided to honor Edison when ________.
A.he made the first electric light   B.electric power was 100 years
C.the country realized electricity's importance  D.he died in 1931

A.turn off the lights in factories and schools  B.observe a few minutes of total silence

The massive 8.8 quake, the seventh strongest in recorded history, hit Chile and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, More impressive is how much the quake shifted the Earth’s axis(地軸).
The computer mode! Used to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found that it should have moved the Earth’s figure axis by about 8 cm. The Earth’s figure figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis, which Earth turns around once every day at a speed of about 1,604 kph. The figure axis is the axis around which the Earth’s mass is balanced. It is offset(偏離) from the Earth’s north-south axis by about 10 meters.
Strong earthquakes can change Earth’s days and its axis. The 9.1 Sumatran earthquake in 2004, which set off a deadly tsunami(海嘯),should have shortened Earth’s days by 0.0068 milliseconds and shifted its axis by about 7cm.
One Earth day is about 24 hours long. Over the course of a year, the length of a day normally changes gradually by one millisecond, It increases in the winter when Earth more slowly, and decreases in the summer.
The Chile earthquake was much smaller than the Sumatran quake, but its effects on the Earth are larger because of its location. The fault(斷層) responsible for the 2010 Chile quake also cuts through Earth at a larger angle that the Sumatran quake’s fault. This makes the Chile fault ore effective in moving the Earth’s mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting the Earth’s figure axis.
The findings are based on early date available on the Chile earthquake. The Chile earthquake has killed more than 700 people and cause widespread damage in the South American country.
64.What’s the biggest problem caused by the Chile quake?
A.It is the seventh strongest in recorded history.
B.It should have shortened the length of an Earth day.
C.It shifted the Earth’s axis.
D.It made the day longer on Earth.
65.Comparing the Sumatram earthquake with the Chile earthquake, we know that__________.
A.the Sumatram earthquake had more effect on Earth
B.the location of the Chile earthquake is responsible for its larger effects on Earth.
C.the Sumatram earthquake was less destructive
D.the Chile earthquake fault changed the Earth’s mass
66.What does the word “it” in the 4th paragraph refer to?
A.The leng of a day.           B.The axis.
C.One millisecond.            D.The change of the day.

A small group of people around the world have started implanting(移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.
Mr. Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loekport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Willemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.
At a shop William Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “I’m set,” he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced(刺穿) the fleshy webbing between his thumb and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he would be able to do what he had long imagined; strengthen his body’s powers through technology.
By putting the chip inside—a radio frequency identification device (RFID)—Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.
Implanting the chip was relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Doneselson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(數(shù)據(jù)輸入插空) inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computers. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.
Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long-term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling(腫) and redness should last a week.
69. With a RFID implanted, which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do?
Make a safety gate open with a knock of a card.
Make bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass.
Open doors and unlock his car with a wave of his hand.
Turn his body and brain directly into computers.
70. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to “___________”.
A. glass containers                             B. implanted computer chips
C. data input jacks                                    D. computer and net working students
71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. High Tech, Under the Skin                     B. A Needle, So Magic
C. Donelson, a Powerful Man                     D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body
72. We can conclude from the passage that __________________.
Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercing.
the Piercers are people working in the computer field
the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligent
the long term effects of these implants are not yet known
