. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. ___71___Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___72___ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. ___73___They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, and then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___74___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___75___
E.Do not express your anger while angry. F.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. G.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
. For generations of pupils, learning key historical dates, places, and names off by heart has been the base of academic success. But for today’s youngsters, dull rote learning(死记硬背) is meaningless because such basic facts are only a mouse click via Google, Wikipedia and online libraries, according to writer Don Tapscott. Tapscott, author of the best-selling book Wikinomics and a supporter of the “net generation”, suggests a better approach would be to teach children to think creatively so they could learn to understand and use the knowledge available online. He said, “Teachers are no longer the fountain(源泉) of knowledge ; the Internet is. Kids should learn about history to understand the world and why things are the way they are. But they don’t need to know all the dates.” Tapscott dismissed(摒弃) the idea that his approach is anti-learning. Instead, he argued that the ability to learn new things is more important than ever in a world where you have to process new information at lighting speed. And he believes that the old-fashioned model of education still common in today’s schools, involving having facts off pat, was designed for the industrial age. He said, “This might have been good for the mass production economy, but it isn’t suitable for the digital economy, or for the ‘net generation’ mind. Children are going to have to reinvent their knowledge base many times. So for them memorizing facts and figures is a waste of time.” Tapscott added the brains of today’s youngsters work differently to their parents’, and that multi tasking with digital equipment, such as using the Internet while listening to their MP3 players, can help them to develop critical thinking skills. Schools are increasingly introducing more independent study and activities, with pupils learning at their own pace and focusing on what interests them most. 68. What is important for the “net generation” in Tapscott’s opinion? A. Using online knowledge creatively. B. Memorizing facts and figures. C. Learning to respect teachers. D. Teaching their parents to think creatively. 69. The underlined part “having facts off pat” in Para. 4 probably means _______. A. understanding online information B. remembering facts clearly C. mastering digital equipment D. keeping mistakes in mind 70. According to Tapscott, _______. A. learning history is of no use to kids B. Teachers should learn more things from online libraries C. Kids should not listen to MP3 players while using the Internet D. to obtain new information is important for kids
. “Don’t just stand there,” goes a typical bit of American advice, “do something!” This expression is normally used in a crisis situation, yet, in a sense, it describes most Americans’ entire waking life, where action—any action—is seen to be superior to inaction. Americans routinely plan and schedule an extremely active day. Any relaxation must be limited in time, preplanned, and aimed at “recreating” their ability to work harder and more productively once the recreation is over. Americans believe leisure activities should assume a relatively small portion of one’s total life. People think that it is “sinful(有罪的)” to “waste one’s time”, “to sit around doing nothing”, or just to “daydream”. Such a “no nonsense” attitude toward life has created many people who have come to be known as “workaholics”, or people who are addicted to their work, who think constantly about their jobs and who are frustrated if they are kept away from them, even during their evening hours and weekends. The workaholic syndrome(综合症), in turn, causes Americans to identify themselves wholly with their professions. The first question one American will ask another American when meeting for the first time is related to his or her work: ”Where do you work?” or “Who(what company) are you with?” And when such a person finally goes on vacation, even the vacation will be carefully planned, very busy and active. America may be one of the few countries in the world where it seems reasonable to speak about the “dignity(尊严) of human labor”, meaning by that, hard, physical labor. In America, even corporation presidents will engage in physical labor from time to time and gain, rather than lose, respect from others for such action. 64.What is mainly talked about in the passage? A.How Americans act during a crisis situation. B.The workaholic syndrome in America. C.Americans’ attitude towards relaxation. D.Americans’ “no nonsense” attitude toward life. 65.Americans hold the belief that _______. A.they should try to enjoy life as much as possible B.they should go all out to help others in a crisis situation C.they should not spend too much on relaxation D.leisure activities should be an important part of their life 66.In America, corporation presidents will _______. A.give instructions to workers only B.often take part in physical labor themselves C.look down upon the laborers D.do physical labor only when it is necessary 67.When workers see their boss doing physical labor, they’ll _______. A.take the place of him B.stand by and watch C.be more respectful to him D.laugh at him
. Millions of people will be able to track each and every move by friends and family through their mobile phones,thanks to a new feature launched by Google yesterday. The new system named “Latitude” uses a map to show exactly where a loved one is at any time, sometimes discovering their location to a few meters.Worried parents will be able to check up on where their children have got to after school, friends can meet for a quick drink if they see they are nearby and wives will be able to see if their husbands really are working late at the office. The feature was made available immediately on millions of mobile phones that can access the web,such as the Black Berry.Within weeks Google hopes to launch a new one that will also work on computers as well. “Once you've shared your location,you can hide it from all of your friends at once,or you can turn off Google Latitude completely at any time.” said a Google spokesman.“You can adjust your privacy settings in Latitude so that you share as much or as little about your location as you want,with whom you want.” Google said that the company had tested the product with thousands of people to make sure that it was safe for the customers,but experts were not so sure.Simon Davies,director of Privacy International,said Latitude would open up a “privacy minefield(危险地带)”. “It's about the little white lies.You might be avoiding going to work, and now your boss might be able to see that you're at Twickenham instead of at home.”said Ian Angell, an information expert at the London School of Economics.“You've already got mobile phone technology where husbands and wives track each other in secret.Now Google is so widely used that it will only worsen the situation.” 60. According to Google,the new system “Latitude” can ___________. A.prove that the partner has told a lie about working late B.tell the parents the locations of their children after school C.provide the friends with the most suitable pub for a drink D.help people find what their loved ones are doing at any time 61. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ___________. A.the new system B. the Google company C. the mobile phone D. the privacy minefield 62. From the passage,we know that Ian Angell believed ___________. A.Latitude keeps husbands and wives in good relationship B.Google tricked all its customers to make more money C.with Latitude more privacy problems would come up D.privacy settings could protect your personal information 63. The best title of the passage might be ___________. A.Google Allows You to Track Friends' and Families' Every Move B.Google and BlackBerry Open the New Webs to Their Customers C.Latitude Working on Computers is Being Developed by Google D.Latitude Sets a Good Example on Mobile Phone Privacy Settings

Some use them in a good way when some others don’t. As far as I am concerned, more and more students now use computers help with their study. If we meet some difficulties when they are doing their homework, they always got help from the Internet. To spend their spare time, they look for more informations with the computers to have much more knowledge. At the same time, however, the great number of students are still so interested in PC games and chatted with others on the Internet that they can not force themselves to return to their study. They are really in dangerous. That is how we mainly use computers. They can either do good and harm to us. Best wishes! Yours truly, Li Hua
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills. 71 Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. 72 Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. 73 Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment(投资). However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy. 74 Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. 75 If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.
E.You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons. F.Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry. G.Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.
