Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
As we all know, Chinese handwriting has infinite power to express differences of character and cultivation. But we have to admit that traditional handwriting has become a __50__ art, now that kids start using keyboards as soon as they begin school. However, writing things out by hand may be a __51__ way we train our brains, several studies suggest. Many psychologists think that handwriting can make you __52__!
Writing by hand is different from __53__ because it requires using strokes to create a letter, __54__ just selecting the whole letter by touching a key, says Virginia Berninger, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington. These __55__ movements activate large regions of the brain __56__ in thinking, memory, and language. Handwriting helps children learn letters and shapes, improves their composition of ideas, and may also __57__ fine-motor skills development.
A study by Berninger found that in grades two, four, and six, children wrote more words, faster, and expressed more __58__ when writing essays by hand than when typing on a keyboard.
A separate study by researchers at Indiana University found that children who practiced printing by hand had more active__59__than kids who __60__ looked at letters.
It’s not just children who __61__ from writing things out by hand, says a study in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Adults learning a new language remember its __62__ better if they write them out by hand than if they produce them with a keyboard.
As more people __63__ their days on the computer, says neuroscientist P. Murali Doraiswamy of Duke University, “__64__ people in handwriting skills could be a useful cognitive exercise.”

Since the early 1990s, the Internet has greatly changed the way people communicate. But some teachers think the changes are not all for the better.
Eleanor Johnson, an English professor at Columbia University in New York, says, “Ｉthink text messaging has made students believe that it is far more acceptable than it actually is to just make spelling and grammatical mistakes.” She says her students over the past several years have increasingly used less formal English in their writing. She says words and phrases like “you know” now appearing research papers. And she now has to talk about another problem in class---incorrect word use.
Professor Johnson doubts a strong connection between the rise of communication online and an increase in writing mistakes. But she admits there may not be much scientific proof, at least not yet.
David Crystal, a British language expert, says the actively changing nature of the Internet makes it difficult to stay unchanged in studying its effects. But he believes its effect on language is small. He says, “The main effect of the Internet on language has been to increase the expressive richness of language, providing the language with a new set of communicative content that didn’t exist in the past.” Erin Jansen, founder of an online dictionary of Internet and text messaging terms, says his new technology has not changed existing language but has greatly added to the vocabulary. “Basically it is a freedom of expression,” she says, “If it is helping them write more or communicate more, that is great. That is what teachers and educators want---to get students communicating.”
But Erin Jansen and David Crystal agree with Eleanor Jonson on at least one thing. Teachers need to make sure students understand the uses and rules of language.
小題1: According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．David Crystal thinks the Internet makes the language expression richer.
B．David Crystal believes the Internet’s effects on language use are clear
C．Eleanor Johnson thinks writing mistakes has much to do with the Internet
D．Eleanor Johnson thinks all the Internet effects on language use are good
小題2:. Eleanor Johnson is mentioned to _______.
A．share her idea of the great effects of using the Internet
B．tell people a way to correct students’ writing mistakes
C．serve as an example of teachers’ blaming the Internet
D．warn people against the dangers of using the Internet
小題3: What do the three experts have in common as to the Internet effect?
A．The possibilities of avoiding the use of less formal words
B．The causes of the Internet’s great effects on language
C．The necessity of helping students reduce writing mistakes
D．The importance of students’ knowing how to use language
小題4:. What could be the best title for the text?
A．Students’ Learning and the Internet: Good or Bad?
B．Students’ Writing and the Internet: Good or Bad?
C．Students’ Papers and the Internet: Good or Bad?
D．Students’ Mistakes and the Internet: Good or Bad?

Taiwan will finalize a plan by the end of June to open up the island to tourists from mainland China, though no date has been fixed for formal implementation（執(zhí)行）, an official at the Mainland Affairs Council（MAC）said on Monday．
The official said the reports in the local press on Monday that the MAC has decided to postpone its plan to announce the implementation of the new plan on July 1 were inaccurate．
The official said cooperation between different organizations was still underway．The United Daily news quoted the director of the MAC’s legal affairs department, Liu Thehsun, as saying the plan to open up to mainland tourists would not be implemented as scheduled due to a lack of cross-strait communication．
Although relevant authorities, including the Bureau of Immigration and the Tourism Bureau, have complete reports on how to deal with visitors from mainland China, the decision has been taken not to press, ahead with announcement of the plan’s implementation on the first of July, Liu was quoted as saying．
The report also said that while no restrictions would be imposed on the mainland visitors in terms of age or residence in China, the visitors would need to hold a steady job or have more than 50,000RMB（about 6,000, U．S．dollars）in bank savings before they would be eligible（有資格的）to visit Taiwan．
In addition, Taiwan bound mainland tourists would have to come as part of a tour group and would be allowed to stay a maximum of 10 days each time．
The number of mainland tourists allowed to enter the island would also initially be limited to 1,000 people a day．
Although most people from Taiwan are free to travel to China, only a small number of mainland Chinese have been able to visit the island due to restrictions imposed by both sides of the Taiwan Strait after the end of a civil war in 1949．

When coal is burned in a boiler, two kinds of ash by-products are produced: a heavy bottom ash and a fine-as-powder fly ash. About 10 to 15 percent of the coal by-product is bottom ash which is used like sand on streets and highways covered with ice, and also on highways as paving material.
It is the fly ash, however, that is receiving much attention. Once considered a waste, fly ash is now regarded as a natural resource in the United States. It can be placed in some lower places, where it is compacted and covered with soil, for the seeds of various grasses and plants to be placed in the soil to make the land productive.
Fly ash may be added to concrete to build roads and other kinds of buildings, taking the place of the cement up to 20 percent. As a by-product of burned coal, fly ash requires no extra energy to be produced, while cement production requires great amounts of energy.
Besides, the technology is able to take out some useful minerals from the fly ash, which is still a very expensive process today. But the time may come when it is cheaper to take out these products from ash than to mine new supplies.
小題1: The bottom ash can be put on icy streets________.
A．in order to rebuild themB． in order to make them colourful
C．so that people can walk on themD．so that cars can run faster
小題2:The fly ash_______ bottom ash.
A．has the same use asB． is more expensive than
C．has more uses thanD．is much cheaper than
小題3:The fly ash can be used to________.
A．grow various plantsB． take the place of soil
C．cover productive landD．make more productive land
小題4: Which of the following is right?
A．To produce fly ash, some extra coal is to be burned.
B． Fly ash is made while producing cement.
C．It takes less energy to produce fly ash than cement.
D．Fly ash is a costless by-product.
小題5:The word “mine” in the last sentence of the passage means_______.
A．to buy things from other countries
B． to search for useful materials in the mountains
C．to dig deeply into the ground to get useful materials
D．to take out certain materials from other things

As computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (著迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14-­year-­old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.
Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.
Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人體罪) or robberies.
A study of 13 to 14-­year­-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over­18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to be acceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……傾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.
Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the non­violent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (隨后) flashed on screen.
小題1: We may infer from the first paragraph that 　　　　.
A．computer games have little to do with violence in real life
B．Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its plays
C．lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UK
D．legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving
小題2: Violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies because 　　　　.
A．violent movies are not so attractive to children
B．the viewers can't take part in violent movies
C．violent movies are not popular with children
D．children can win awards in violent games
小題3: What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage？
A．Further research on the harm of violent games.
B．Further differences between violent game and non­violent games.
C．Ways to protect children from violent games.
D．The result of more experimental studies.
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage？
A．Games and Murder
B．Should Computer Games become lifelike？
C．Legislation, effective or not？
D．Violent Games and Non­violent Games

Do you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.
Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.
Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.
Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there’s no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l(fā)” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.
I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.
小題1:We can learn from the passage ________.
A．colonel is pronounced
B．salmon is pronounced
C．a(chǎn)ll the words with silent letters come from French
D．linguists will solve the problem of dumb letters
小題2:Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters?
A．French language.B．Historical reasons.
C．Some linguistsD．Bad traditions.
小題3:The underlined phrase “catches on” probably means “________”.
A．becomes popularB．gets across
C．follows the fashionD．doesn’t fall behind
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．Troubles in everyday lifeB．Traps in English words
C．Words with silent lettersD．Necessary changes of languages

While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.
Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.
小題1: The second paragraph tells us that                .
A．people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ
B．EQ is the opposite of IQ
C．people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life
D．people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ
小題2:What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled
children?
A．Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.
B．There was no change in the normal students.
C．The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.
D．The disabled students were more willing to help others.
小題3: Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ?
A．IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.
B．IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.
C．EQ can get people hired.
D．A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A．A person’s brainpower.B．IQ, EQ and success.
C．IQ and a person’s character.D．A person’s IQ and EQ.
