人們?yōu)槭裁匆獛弊�？文章告訴你三大原因——保護(hù)，交流和裝飾。 
1、邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)詞義比較人們戴帽有保護(hù)、交流和裝飾三個(gè)原因。開始時(shí)，人們戴帽是為了保護(hù)自己免遭季節(jié)氣候的傷害。與前面的Protection(其名詞形式)一致，與后文的protective一致，且后文竟出現(xiàn)了also provide protection。對(duì)后幾句給予總結(jié)。defend防護(hù), 辯護(hù), 防衛(wèi)；protect保護(hù); 保衛(wèi)；“保護(hù)……以免遭受危險(xiǎn)或傷害等”；prevent 防止, 預(yù)防; 指“采取預(yù)先行動(dòng)或用障礙物使不發(fā)生或停止”；hide 隱藏, 掩藏, 隱瞞, 掩飾。
2、詞義辨析邏輯推理 夏日，寬沿的帽子遮擋炎熱的太陽光，提供蔭涼。shade蔭處，陰暗(部分); 陰涼的地方；shadow陰影, 影子, 隱蔽處, 陰暗；security平安; 安全；cover掩飾, 保護(hù), 掩護(hù)。
3、邏輯推理詞義比較 在有些地區(qū)，人們視季節(jié)的不同而戴各式各樣的起保護(hù)性作用的帽子，如冬季戴羊絨帽，春秋兩季戴雨帽，夏季戴寬沿帽。resulting from由……產(chǎn)生，原因是……；basing upon以……為根據(jù)； relating to與……有關(guān)/聯(lián)系；depending on依賴于……，視……而定。
4、邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)人們?cè)谝恍┨囟ɑ顒?dòng)中也戴帽子以得到保護(hù)。后文列舉了這樣的一些活動(dòng)內(nèi)容。seasons 季節(jié)；climates氣候；activities活動(dòng)，行為；communities團(tuán)體，社會(huì)。
5、詞義辨析  injury 傷害，侮辱，一般指對(duì)人所造成的身心方面的傷害；destruction 破壞，毀滅，一般指對(duì)物件或設(shè)施所帶來的無法挽救的毀滅性的損失。harm 傷害，損害，通常有于抽象的表達(dá)方式中。pollution 污染，玷污。
6、詞義比較常識(shí)運(yùn)用 礦工、牛仔、救護(hù)隊(duì)員的帽子顯示出他們各自的工作，職責(zé)(occupation)，而非其經(jīng)驗(yàn)(experience)、個(gè)性(personality)或是所受的教育(education)。
7、語句連貫 雖然帽子的重要用途是保護(hù)和交流作用，但許多人戴帽子是為了好看。表示讓步關(guān)系，用though。
8、邏輯推理常識(shí)運(yùn)用詞義辨析 即便是警官和軍人的帽子也是特別設(shè)計(jì)出來以達(dá)到改進(jìn)增強(qiáng)穿戴者的外觀。change 改變，變化，可能向好的方向，也可能向壞的方向變化；increase 增加, 增大，通常指在數(shù)量、體積程度上的提高；display 陳列，展覽，顯示；improve 改善，改進(jìn)，通常指朝好的有益的方向發(fā)展。
9、常識(shí)運(yùn)用詞義比較 人們戴某些裝飾性的帽子是作為某一標(biāo)志。如蘇格蘭人的一種特別的帽子是其民族服飾的組成部分A. tradition 傳統(tǒng)，慣例；label 標(biāo)簽，標(biāo)志；honour 尊敬, 敬意, 榮譽(yù)；D. fashion流行, 風(fēng)尚。
10、前后照應(yīng)邏輯推理      許多人不時(shí)地變換帽子的款式以跟上最新的時(shí)尚，使他們感覺更為迷人漂亮(attractive)。與前文的Decoration 一致。A. sociable 好交際的，友善的；informal不正式的，不拘禮節(jié)的；吸引人的，有魅力的，noble高尚的，高貴的。

It was 3:21 a.m. when nine?year?old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the cracking(爆裂聲) of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two?storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke?filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later,“acted with all the self?control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke?filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the
house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan:“The string will lead
you to Mother.” Mrs Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
1.Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
A. He wanted to find out what was happening.
B. He was worried about his mother's safety.
C. He wanted to save his sister and his brother.
D. He went to see if his father had come back from work. 
2. How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?
A. By throwing water all over her and her bed.
B. By carrying her to safety with his brother.
C. By pushing and pulling at her.
D. By tying a string to her hand. 
3. Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
A. Glenn.       B. Glenn's father.       C. Glenn's sister.    D. Glenn's neighbor. 
4.What did Glenn do to protect himself?
A. He put a wet cloth around himself.   B. He threw water all over his head.
C. He hid himself in the bathroom.      D. He rushed out to the lawn. 
5. Glenn saved his family because ________ .
A. his father had taught him to do so on the phone
B. he had learned something about the first aid
C. he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely
D. he had followed his mother's instruction

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.At some point in every speech,every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned.Fortunately,such moments are usually not obvious(明顯的) to the listeners.Why?Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.They hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your place for a moment,wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences,or forget to pause at a certain point,no one will be any the wiser.When such moments occur,don’t worry about them.Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech,that doesn’t really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I Have a Dream”,you may notice that he stumbles(結(jié)巴) over his words twice during the speech.Most likely,however,you don’t remember.Why?Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流).They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition.But,in fact,the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance.They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech,don’t worry about being perfect.Once you free your mind of this,you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
小題1:The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _______.
A．be smarter than youB．notice your mistakes
C．do better than youD．know what you are talking about
小題2:You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _______.
A．your attention is on the content
B．you don’t fully understand the speech
C．you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
D．you find the way of speech-making more important
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A．giving a speech is like giving a performance
B．one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C．the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D．the more mistakes a speaker makes,the more attractive he will be
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Be a Perfect Speaker
B．How to Make a Perfect Speech
C．Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech
D．Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

Section A (10 points)                                                     
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. WRITE NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room. But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out.
Here is some important advice. The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat. Young people and adults are at risk of diseases related to weight.
Too much fast food can drag your body down. French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acryl amide(丙烯酰胺) than other food. This may cause cancer. Actually, deep fried food all contains acryl amide. So don’t eat it too often.
Soda is another thing you should watch out for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible.
Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a meal that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.
Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal. It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time. Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.

Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(風(fēng)格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(質(zhì)量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.
小題1: Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.
A．more interestingB．unusually popularC．more detailedD．more formal
小題2:Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____.
A．remain interested in themB．a(chǎn)re ready to face up to them
C．remain cold to themD．a(chǎn)re willing to get away from them
小題3:Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A．A new type of robot.B．Nation hatred.
C．Family income planning.D．Street accident.
小題4:We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.
A．have become the only ones of its kind
B．exploit the weaknesses in human nature
C．a(chǎn)ppear at different times of the day
D．a(chǎn)ttract different people

A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s   26   problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no   27   to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything  28   there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a   29  side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope  30   they went up. They would have been   31  without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled  32  my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to  33  them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes   34  among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can  35  them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to  36  some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children  37  on the sideline(作為旁觀者) and know that they will befriend（照顧）them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame  38   much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything,   39  the adults who have taught them to selfishly  40   only of themselves.
Most adults have been   41  at some time or another, sadly, many   42  that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can  43  that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with  44  of bumps(撞傷) and bruises(擦傷), but we can all make it to the  45  if we remember to help those who need it.

Critics of cloning often repeat the question related to the controversial(有爭(zhēng)議的) science “Just because we can, does it mean we should?”  The closer we come to being able to clone a human, the hotter the debate over it grows. For all the good things cloning may achieve, opponents say that it will do just as much harm. Another question is how to governing cloning process.
There is federal official law banning cloning in the United States, but several states have passed their own laws to ban the practice. The US Food and Drugs Administration(FDA), has also said that anyone in the United States attempting human cloning must first get its permission. In Japan, human cloning is a crime that is punished by up to 10 years in prison.
While laws are to ban cloning at this time, some scientists believe that the technology is not ready to be tested on humans. Ian Wilmut, one of the co-creators of Dolly, has even said that human cloning projects would be an irresponsible crime. Cloning technology is still in its early stages, and nearly 98% percent of cloning efforts end in failure. The embryos are either not suitable for implanting into the uterus(子宮) or they die shortly after birth.
The clones that do survive end up suffering from deadly or problematic genetic abnormalities(畸形). Some clones have been born with faulty heart, lung problems and blood vessel problems. One of the most famous cases was a cloned sheep that was born with but malformed arteries(畸形動(dòng)脈) leading to the lungs.
Opponents of cloning will point out that we can enthanize(安樂死) these faulty clones of other animals, but they ask what if a human clone is born with these same problems. Advocates of cloning respond that it is now easier to pick out faulty embryos even before they are implanted into the mother. The debate over human cloning is just beginning, but as science advances, it could be the biggest moral dilemma of the 21st century.
