It's official: Text messages mania (狂熱) has hit China. Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular, and so sending text messages is fast becoming the hot new craze among teenagers.

    Twelve Kitties greeted Liu Jiao and wished her a happy new year on the eve of the Chinese lunar calendar's Year of the Horse, making her very excited. According to Xinhua, about 100 million text and picture messages were sent and received by Beijing mobile phone owners during the Spring Festival.

    Liu Jiao is a student at the High School Affiliated to Beijing University of Chemical Technology. A third of the students in her class own mobile phones. She received more than 20 text messages from her friends during the holidays. Most of these messages were general greetings like “Happy New Year”, or humorous sentences, like “Love you as mice love rice”. One of the good wishes she received was made up of the brand names for eight soft drinks, including Coca-Cola and Wahaha. These brand names, when translated into Chinese, are themselves good wishes for happiness or success.

    Besides the convenience of sending text messages, the relatively low cost attracts many teenagers. A common message usually costs only 0.1 to 0. 2 yuan.

    Tan Yingqing, a Senior Two student, said it would have cost her too much to call all of her friends in Beijing because she spent the Spring Festival in her hometown, Shanghai. So she sent mobile phone text messages to them instead.

    According to China Mobile, there has been a lot of promotion (宣傳，推廣) for messaging through phones since 1997. And the rise in popularity shows that it has worked.

    As the new term starts, Liu turns off her mobile phone. It is not allowed in class because mobile phones could disturb other students. Also, she would rather not be influenced by calls or messages during breaks. However, she often rushes to check her messages as soon as the school day finishes.

1．Many teenagers are attracted to send text messages because ________.

    a. it is cool today

    b. mobile phones are popular

    c. it is very convenient

    d. the cost is relatively low

    A. ab

    B. ac

    C. bd

    D. cd

2．When Liu Jiao received the text message sent by twelve Kitties on the eve of the Spring Festival, she felt ________.

    A. surprised

    B. bored

    C. excited

    D. unbelievable

    A. she was staying in Shanghai at that time

    B. she thought it would cost her too much to call them all

    D. she wanted to follow the fashion

4．The promotion for messages through mobile phones since 1997 in China is ________.

    A. effective

    B. worthless

    C. limited

    D. disappointing

5．What is the main idea of the passage?

      It's true that quite a few most respected scientific  authorities have confirmed that the world is
becoming hotter and hotter. There's also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming.
Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate
science by the Royal Society noted that:"The global warming over the last half－century has been caused mainly by human activity."
      You may not believe that humans could change the planet's climate, but the basic science is well
understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of
human activity. As has been known for years, these gaseshold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不見的) blanket.
       Of course, the earth's climate has always been changing due to "natural" factors such as volcanic
eruption (熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth's going around the sun. According to
the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build－up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere－not the warming we would expect from
other possible causes.
       Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that
would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: "If some newly discovered factor is to
blame for the climate change, then why aren't carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing
the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?"
     The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be
to run an experiment with two identical Earths－one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn't possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.

1. In most scientists' opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by________.

A. solar activity
B. volcanic activity
C. natural factors
D. human factors

2. The text is developed by________.

A. giving typical examples
B. following the order of space
C. analyzing a theory and arguing it
D. comparing and finding differences

3. The underline word "identical" in the last paragraph probably means________.

A. totally different
B. exactly the same
C. extremely important
D. partly independent

4. Which of the following can be the best title?

A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?
B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?
C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?
D. What's Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?

       It’s true that teens don’t get enough sleep，but changing the school starting time would have a chaoticeffect and throw everyone off balance.
       Scientists have shown that teens are more active later at night than children and adults，so most
teens areprobably staying up later for whatever reasons.“The researchers measured the presence of the
sleeppromoting hormone (荷爾蒙) in teenagers’ saliva (唾液) at different time of the day.They learned
that the hormone levels rise later at night than they do in children and adults-and remain at a higher level
later in the morning.Measuring the hormone in the saliva is a good way to show that most teens have
sleep problems，but changing school schedules isn’t the best way to fix this.Most people arguing against
changing school schedules would say that it would only cause teens to stay up and wake up later，thus
leaving them with the same problem.
      The biggest problem schools would come across from changing their schedules would be the after
school and job conflicts students and teachers would meet.“Teachers reported that students were more
alert，and research showed that afterschool sports and jobs would suffer.Students in that area might have been able to deal with less time for jobs and sports somehow，but some of them have practice and earlier plans that would become conflicted if this change were to occur.Most students rarely have time to play a
sport and do homework before 9 or 10 o’clock.Opening schools later may have worked for some areas，but the reality is often very different.

1．The meaning of the underlined word “chaotic”in the 1st paragraph is close to________.

A．positive 
B．a(chǎn)pparent
C．negative 
D．a(chǎn)mbiguous

2．Most teens have sleep problems because________.

A．they are more active than children and adults
B．school work takes up most of their time
C．their hormone levels are higher later at night
D．they probably like staying up for no reason

3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．There are many conflicts between students and teachers.
B．Some of the teachers have practice and earlier plans.
C．Most students are able to do sport and homework before 9?00.
D．Ways to solve students’ sleep problem vary from area to area.

4．The passage mainly develops by________.

A．giving reasons  
B．showing examples
C．comparing facts

     It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year, people play tricks on
each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces
to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests (such as "Win an elephant!") and report on
fake stories (like "UFO" lands in New York City).
     Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day,
the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).

     The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours, they realized
that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place!
