My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh,Beckham is so handsome,so cool,that I can't help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has！”

  Yeah,I 1       to some degree,though I sometimes do want to 2        them how much they know about Beckham,apart from his 3        and how much they know about football apart from 4        goals. It seems funny that we are 5        for things,with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6       ,but we all,my friends as well as I,consider this one of life's 7       .

  We need these pleasures to 8        our lives. But that doesn't 9        to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover."We should not judge anything from its 10       . We should all know,it is one's good 11        and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we'd better say 12        about Beckham's good looks.

  If we close our eyes,falling in deep 13       ,we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15        things,sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16        has blinded and misled us,and we will remain ignorant (無知的) 17       we realize that and make some changes.

  It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18        of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything,no matter how much it 19        us,we will finally prove how much we have 20        up,how much more sensible,mature,and intelligent we have become.

1. B作者先說在一定程度上"同意"上述人對貝克漢姆相貌和球技的看法，為下一步闡述自己的觀點做好鋪墊。

2. A從后面的how much看，作者是在"質問"對方對貝克漢姆和足球究竟知道多少。

3. D由前文知有些人喜歡貝克漢姆僅僅是因為他的"外貌"。

4. C score goals意為"進球"。

5. B be crazy for意為"為……而瘋狂、著迷"。如果表達"對••••••感到好奇"，應用be curious about,be anxious about意為"為. 擔憂”，be concerned for意為"替... 擔憂”。

6. A uncertain和前面的unfamiliar相互補充，說明人們對待事情的盲目性。此處主要是把握前面be unfamiliar with對后文的限制作用，前面是"對……不熟悉"，后面應該是"對……不肯定"。be unhappy with / be displeased / be unsatisfied with意為"對……不滿意"。

7. C人們把盲目追星當做生活的樂趣，pleasure 當"生活的樂趣"講時，是可數(shù)名詞。追星不可能是生活的目標，故不選A. quality意為"質量"時，是不可數(shù)名詞，另外，追星與生活質量并無多大關系，故不選B. truth意為"真理"，追星也不可能是"真理"。

8. B brighten up意為"照亮，為……增添光彩"。keep up意為"保持... 水平"；make up意為

"編造,組成,化妝"；bring up意為"撫養(yǎng)，提出，嘔吐"。

9. C amount to原意為"與……相當，總計……"，此處意為"達到……程度；意味著，等于"。作者的觀點為：追星可以僅僅作為生活的一點樂趣，而不能達到瘋狂的程度。

add to 意為"增加"，increase to意為"(數(shù)量) 增加到"，rise to意為"高度上升到"。

10. D表達作者的觀點：我們不應該以貌取人。

11. B作者認為明星最重要的是他們的"性格" 和對社會的貢獻,而不是他們的相貌。

12. C承接上文，作者建議我們還是"少"談明星的外貌，而應注重他們的人格。

13. D從前面"閉上眼睛"判斷，這兒應是陷人沉思(in deep thought) 。

14. A經(jīng)過深思，我們才能把引起我們高興或悲傷的事情想"清楚"。把握與前面"沉思"的因果關系，可得出正確答案：沉思的結果必定是看"清"事情的真相。由此排除其他選項： puzzling意為"令人迷惑的"，moving意為"動人的"，valuable意為"有價值的"。

15. C surface things意為"表面現(xiàn)象"。從前面"我們如果不深刻思考而只是……"可推知我們滿足于"表面的東西"，因此排除material "物質的"，deep"深層的"，pleasant"令人愉快的"。 •

16. D"第一印象,初次印象"會使我們盲目，并誤導我們。

17. C unless引導條件狀語從句，說明我們深思、調整思維的重要性。把握句子的邏輯關系，可排除其他選項。

since引導原因狀語從句，意為"既然"，引導時間狀語從句，意為"自…… 以來"；although引導讓步狀語從句；before引導時間狀語從句。

18. A sign意為"跡象、象征"，我們去深思就是進步的象征。理解此處句子的意義，可排除其他選項。

19. B pain在此處用作動詞，意為"使……痛苦"。作者認為，有時我們弄清事情的本質是痛苦的。

20. D"長大"與后面的明智、成熟和智慧在邏輯上對應。

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded―and can come back to haunt (困擾) you―appears to be the key to the finding.

Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca,New York,asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes,and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails,21 percent of instant messages,27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.

His results to be presented at the conference on humancomputer interaction in Vienna,Austria,in April,have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars,reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable,the detachment (非直接接觸) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practised at that form of communication.

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread,and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account,he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

People are also more likely to lie in real time―in a instant message or phone call―than if they have time to think of a response,says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脫口而出的) responses to an unexpected demand,such as: "Do you like my dress?"

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance,the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But,given his result,work assessment where honesty is a priority,might be best done using email.

   The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in the last seventy years. In the nineteen thirties,twentyfive percent of the nation's population lived on farms. Today less than one percent of Americans do.

  Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example,in nineteen thirtythree,people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time,farm families had about onethird the income of nonfarmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late nineteen seventies,however,that difference had almost disappeared.

  In two thousand four,farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about eightyone thousand dollars. That is more than the average American family,which earned about sixty thousand dollars.

  Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmers. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones.

  The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses.

  The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average hourly pay for all private industrial workers is about sixteen dollars. The   B. L. S. says average weekly pay for all industrial workers is about five hundred fifty dollars. But that is an average. Workers can earn as much as twice the average or as little as half of it depending on the industry in which they work.

  Industrial workers are about twentythree percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing. Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional,technical and other services employ about seventysix percent of the labor force.

(   ) 1. What is the topic discussed in the passage?

    A. Agriculture developments in America.

   B. Pay for farmers compared with that of industrial workers.

   C. The living conditions for farmers and workers in America.

   D. How to measure the income of the American farmers.

(   ) 2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

   A. There is no difference between farmers' pay and that of workers.

   B. Farmers used to have less incomes than workers.

   C. Farmers' incomes have changed a lot.

   D. Farmers and workers are equal in society.

(   ) 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

   A. Farmers in America can live better than the workers in cities.

   B. The farmers are less in America because they can earn more outside.

   C. Farmers sometimes can earn more than the average income in US.

   D. It is hard to know the incomes of the farmers.

(   ) 4. We can infer from the passage that         .

   A. farmers' incomes will increase a lot

   B. it is hard to compare farm pay with industrial pay

   C. the number of industrial workers is decreasing

   D. every worker in America can earn about 550 dollars a week

 Have you ever pressed the "send" button and immediately wished you could get your email back? For American high school boy Scotty Thomas,it's the biggest mistake of his life. And the result of this thoughtless act makes up the story of the new movie Eurotrip.

  Scotty and his Berlinbased email pen pal Mieke have been writing each other for years,sharing every detail of their lives. But when Mieke suggests coining to the US to meet him face-to-face,Scotty rudely turns him down. What he didn't realize is that,in Germany,Mieke is in fact a girl's name.

  By the time Scotty figures out that Mieke is actually a hot high school girl,she has cut off all contact with him. Thinking that this might be his one chance at true love,he sets out on a trip across Europe to Berlin,helped by his best friends,Cooper and the twins Jenny and Jamie.

  Their journey takes them from London to Paris,Amsterdam,through Eastern Europe and on to Rome before finally arriving in Berlin. From London's Big Ben to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Rome's Coliseum,the teenagers enjoy a jokefilled adventure.

  The cultures they find are certainly a world away from the ones they read about in their textbooks. In Eastern Europe,they manage to enjoy a fivestar hotel and a night of dancing with just US $1. 87—and have 27 cents left over.

  As Scotty Thomas,Scott Mechlowicz is in his first ever leading role. But he manages to express his character's simpleminded,but daring and charming nature in a believable way.
