2.I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand the issue,let's take a look at three types of"waits".
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline.Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specific."Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes."I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly.After all,F(xiàn)orced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary,waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesn't come to rely on it,wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,don't be desperate.You're probably just as busy as the next guy.

32.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait,we tend toC.
A.keep ourselves busy             B.grow anxious
C.get absent-minded               D.stay focused
33.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A
A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
34.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?B
A.Take it seriously.
B.Don't lose heart
C.Do something else.
D.Don't rely on others
35.The author supports his view byB.
A.exploring various causes of"waits".
B.a(chǎn)nalyzing different categories of"waits"
C.describing detailed processes of"waits".
D.revealing frustrating consequences of"waits"

4.To be or not to be.Outside the Bible (圣經(jīng)),these six words are the most famous in all the (36)Aof the world.They were (37)Cby Hamlet when he was thinking aloud,and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare  because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every (38)Bman and woman.To be or not to be,to live or not to live,to live (39)Dand abundantly and eagerly,or to live dully and meanly and scarcely.A philosopher once wanted to know (40)Dhe was alive or not,which is a good question for everyone to put to himself (41)B.He answered it by saying,"I think,(42)BI am."
But the best (43)Aof existence ever seen was given by another philosopher who said,"To be is to be in (44)B."If this is true,then the more relations a living thing has,the more it is alive.To live abundantly means simply to (45)Bthe range and intensity of our relations.(46)Dwe are so used to loving our routine.But apart from our regular (47)D,how much are we alive?If you are (48)Donly on your regular occupation,you are alive only to that extent.If (49)Athings are not concerned so far-poetry,music,pictures,sports,friendships,politics,international affairs-you are (50)C.On the contrary,it is true that every time you (51)Ba new interest-even more,a new accomplishment-you increase your power of life.No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain (52)D; the real pessimist is the person who has lost (53)C.

8.Despite gains in recent years,women still fall behind men in some areas of math achievement,and the question of why has caused heated argument.Now,a study of first and second graders suggests what may be part of the answer:Female primary school teachers who are concerned about their own skills could be passing that along to the little girls they teach.
Young students tend to model themselves after adults of the same sex,explained Beilock,an associate professor in psychology at the University of Chicago.Little girls may learn to fear math from the women who are their earliest teachers.Beilock and her colleagues studied 52boys and 65girls in classes taught by 17different teachers.Ninety percent of the US primary school teachers are women,as was all of those in this study.
Students'math ability was not related to teachers'math anxiety at the start of the school year,but at the end of the year,the more anxious teachers were about their own skills,the more likely their female students-but not the boys-were to agree to that"boys are good at math and girls are good at reading".In addition,the girls who answered that way scored lower on math tests than either the classes'boys or the girls who had not developed such a belief,the researchers found.
After seeing the results,the researchers recommended that the math requirements for obtaining a primary education teaching degree should be rethought."If the next generation of teachers,especially primary school teachers,is going to teach their students more effectively,more care needs to be taken to develop both strong math skills and positive math attitudes in these educators,"the researchers wrote.
"Girls who grow up believing females lack math skills wind up avoiding harder math classes.It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers,particularly in science technology,"Beilock said.

24.We can learn from the first three paragraphs thatA.
A.teachers in US primary schools are mostly females
B.the students involved in the study are starters at primary school
C.young students usually follow example of their female teachers
D.it's true that boys do well in math while girls do well in reading
25.We can we infer from the text?B
A.Beilock's study will bring about a primary education revolution.
B.Girls'lack of confidence in math skills affects their future jobs.
C.The performance of the students changed little during the process of the study.
D.The researchers argued that current primary school education needed improving.
26.What's the suggested solution to the phenomenon mentioned in the text?D
A.Using different approaches to excite students'interest in math.
B.Reducing the number of situations that make teachers anxious.
C.Creating more chances for boys and girls to work together in class.
D.Improving teachers'math skills and changing their math attitudes.
27.What's the main idea of the text?A
A.Girls may learn math anxiety from female teachers.
B.Boys are free from the math anxiety of female teachers.
C.Primary school teachers have a far-reaching influence on students.
D.Students should learn how to hold positive attitudes towards math.

Dear Mary,
How are you doing?I am writing to ask you a favour.I'm planning to go to the USA to take a two-month English course at California University in June.I will absolutely benefit from it but the expenses are rather high for me.
To help cover the cost of my study,I aim to find a part-time job.Not only is it a good way to practice my oral English,it can also help me develop a better understanding of the American society.So I am wondering if you could ask around your neighbourhood to see if anyone wants a waiter in the restaurant or a Chinese teacher.I would appreciate it very much if you could do me this favour.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua.

3.Is cursive writing(草寫體)an out-of-date skill in today's technological society?The new education standards for English do not require cursive.However,schools are still allowed to teach cursive if they choose.Some schools are considering giving up cursive,since it is not on standardized tests.This topic is now being discussed in teacher lunchrooms around the country.We invited some inspired teachers to weigh in.Here's what one of them,Eldra Avery,has to say.
I failed a handwriting assignment in eighth grade,but my teacher told me that I was well able to have that type of handwriting.So I improved my handwriting and now have beautiful cursive handwriting.I teach English,and at times I ask my students to do assignments in cursive.Since they will be taking timed writing exams throughout their educational career,it is necessary that they practice writing at a speed that will allow them to finish their task.When you have three letters connected in a word,it flows,and when you lift your pen only at the end of a word,it is faster than printing(印刷體),which lifts the pen at the completion of each letter.
Handwriting is a reflection(反映)of our humanity.We dream of a future with more advanced technology and less labor,but truthfully,if technology prevents us from using skills that are essentially human,I wonder if that can be called"progress."Cursive connects us to our past and our future.If students can't write cursive,they can't read cursive.And if they can't read cursive,how can they read historical papers like the Declaration of Independence?
Writing cursive is a process that helps improve language learning.Copying text by hand does a lot of good to students.My students complete a poetry analysis paper each year.Many of them tell me that they couldn't begin to understand their poem until they copied it by hand.Handwriting is a valuable communication tool,Communication through handwriting will always be a necessity.To imagine that the whole world communicates by typing would be a rather poor view.

24.According to Paragraph 1,teachers are discussingA.
A.whether cursive should be taught
B.whether students should read cursive
C.how to look at handwriting assignments
D.how to improve students'cursive writing
25.Why does Ms.Avery mention her students in the last paragraph?A
A.To show the positive side of handwriting.
B.To introduce an effective learning method.
C.To show the importance of copying poems.
D.To share her first-hand teaching experience.
26.Ms.Avery would probably agree thatC.
A.handwriting should be replaced by typing
B.there should be fewer standardized tests
C.cursive is more effective than printing
D.cursive helps us learn about the future.
