    Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what "PK" meant.
    "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked
me what 'PK' means, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
    To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that
item. 
    In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life
of the other. 
    In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers
have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
    Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' composition
using Internet jargon (行話) difficult to understand.
    A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial (口語的)
language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn't understand.
    " My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM': I love to 'FB'
with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM', went one composition."
    "GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother ). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful sister ).
"FB" means "to corrupt". "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
    While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried
that too much use of such language might lead students away from the "right" usages. Parents especially
worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language. 
    Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract
Internet users for making convenient communications.
    If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog,
referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
1. By writing the article, the writer tries to ______.
[     ]
A. explain some Internet jargon
B. suggest normalizing Internet language
C. draw our attention to Internet language use
D. support teachers and parents.
2. What does the writer think about the term "PK"?
[     ]
A. Fathers can't possibly know it.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players must know it.
D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.
3. According to the composition, the underlined word "corrupt" probably means "______".
[     ]
A. change the traditional form of something
B. often have good food or do something expensive
C. encourage someone to behave in a dishonest way
D. often have some sports to become strong
4. The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargon ______.
[     ]
A. is used not only online
B. contains many interesting expressions
C. is hard to understand by the elders
D. causes trouble to our mother tongue

　　Do you know something about tree rings?Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?

　　A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall．And little sunshine or rainfall will limit(限制)the growth of climate by studying the tree rings．For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside．If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year．If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad．

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead.”

    Dad , in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.

    There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

    Myth( 神話)Number One: It's best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

    Truth: Sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”

　　Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

　　Truth: Sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

　　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour

　　Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But. Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?

A. He was driving at great speed.

B. He was running across the street.

C. He didn't have his safety belt on.

D. He didn't take his medicine on time.

The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he＿＿＿＿＿．

A. wasn't feeling very well

B. hated to drive in the dark

C. wanted to take some exercise

D. didn't want to be caught by the police

According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous ,because you ＿＿＿＿＿．

A. may be knocked down by other cars

B may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

D. may get caught in the car door

Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe＿＿＿.

A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

C. they will be caught when help comes

D. cars catch fire easily

What is the advice given in the text?

A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

Ⅲ　閱讀�。ü矁晒�(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)  閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A person has to be sixteen to drive, seventeen to see certain movies, and eighteen to vote. People can get terrific discounts on all sorts of stuff－provided they’re over sixty-five. Everywhere we look there are age limits that define what people can and can’t do. But creativity has no boundaries, no limitations. Anyone can invent. And they do. Inventors are popping up at the youngest ages.

Sitting in the car waiting for her mom to return from shopping, Becky decided she might as well try to finish her math homework. But it was growing dark and getting hard to see the paper.

“I didn’t have a flashlight, and I didn’t want to open the car door because then the whole car would light up.” recalled Becky. “So I thought it would be neat to have my paper light up somehow, and that’s when the idea came to me.”

It isn’t every day that a ten-year-old invents a product eagerly sought by several businesses, but that’s exactly what Becky Schroeder did when she created a tool that enabled people to write in the dark. Her invention? The Glo-sheet.

That night Becky went home, trying to imagine different ways of making her paper glow in the dark. She remembered all sorts of glow-in-the-dark toys－like balls and Frisbees－and wondered how they were made. She was determined to find a solution. So they very next day, Beck’s dad took her on an outing to the hardware store. They returned with a pail (桶) of phosphorescent paint. She took the paint and stacks of paper into the darkest room in the house－the bathroom. There, she experimented.

“I’d turn on the light, turn it off, turn it on,” said Becky. “My parents remember me running out the room saying ‘It works, it works! I’m writing in the dark!’ ”

She used an acrylic board and coated it with a specific amount of phosphorescent paint. She took a complicated idea and made it work rather simply. When the coated clipboard is exposed to light, it glows. The glowing board then illuminates or lights up the paper that has been placed on top. Two years after her initial inspiration, in 1974, Becky became the youngest female ever to receive a U.S. patent.

She didn’t actively market her Glo-sheet. She didn’t need to. The New York Times wrote an article about an incredible invention－patented by a twelve-year-old, and the inquiries and orders streamed in.

1. From Paragraph 1 , we can draw a conclusion that _________.

A. it is illegal for one to drive under sixteen

B. people enjoy privileges when over sixty-five

C. one is never too old or too young to invent

D. people hate the limitations that define our behavior

2. What caused Becky to invent Glo-sheet?

A. She was trying to do homework when it got dark.

B. She was having trouble with math problems.

C. She was trying to earn some money. 

D. She was working on a school project.

3. What is the meaning of the underlined words “phosphorescent paint” in paragraph 5?

A. paint that acts as a glue                                  B. paint that covers a mark

C. paint that becomes hard                                 D. paint that glows in the dark

4. What does it mean that Beck “didn’t actively market her Glo-sheet” according to paragraph 8?

A. She kept the original one for her own use.

B. Other people came to her for the Glo-sheet.

C. Becky’s father tried to sell the Glo-sheet.

D. She gave away patent to the government.

5. With which statement would Becky most likely agree?

A. Experience is needed to be a good inventor.

B. Only by inventing things can you know what people need.

C. Always try to sell patent rights to large companies. 

D. You never know what you can do unless you try.

     You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns ( 打哈欠). Suddenly , you're 
 yawning  with  him , though  you're not tired.
      This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to
sympathize with fellow humans.Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were
unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious (有感染力的) yawning,
which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
     Hugo Critchley,a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that
happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley , our mind and body
are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. " Emotions are closely linked with states of internal
(內(nèi)部的) responses. " he explained."There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial
expressions. When we're in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there's
the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious, changes that reflect emotions
of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. "
     Hugo Critchley further explained , " Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person , we
even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you're sitting-it's pretty likely
that you will be the same. Scientists believe it's our way of telling each other that we're partners. Through
body language, humans give each other very subtLe (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. "
    So,what lessons can we leam from this? " Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could
suffer. " said Critchley. " When we're sad,our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we're happy,
our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel
healthy and it affects everyone around us. "
1. According to Hugo Critchley,__________.
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change ofemotions
2. The underlined word " synchronise"  in Paragraph 4 means"___________"    
A. move slowly                  
B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily             
 D. respond accordingly
3. From the passage we can learn_________.   
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?   
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.
