| Child labor-the employment of children in industry, often against their will - has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined (limited) to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories. Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work. The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision (监督) of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives-childhood. |
| 1. Which's the main idea of the first paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Children are often willing to work in large factories. B. Most children are working in British factories. C. The poor working conditions of child labor in Dickens' novel. D. The working conditions for children are similar to those a hundred years ago. |
| 2. Girls' work is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. not harmful to the health though it is heavy B. not harmful to the health because it is light C. harmful to the health though it is light D. harmful to the health because it is heavy |
| 3. Young children go to work _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. because they are forced to B. in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work C. in order to be paid well D. in order to earn money for education |
| 4. To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests the following BUT _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. looking over factories more closely B. raising their payment and improving the system of education C. improving laws of protecting children's interests D. punishing lawbreakers with severer fines |

| I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her. When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie. "But she will get dark," they said. "That's what she wants," I told them. "We think darker skin (肤色) is beautiful." They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon. For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round. What in the world is going on? The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their culture's standard (标准) of beauty. In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth. In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn't have to work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妆容). The tradition survives to this day. So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard. But now I am noticing that a new business-the tanning booth (美黑店)-started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define (给…下定义) their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their grandmothers would have to say to them about it! |

|
[ ] |
| A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit B. the writer's daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone D. with the powerful sunlight the writer's daughter would have got a suntan |
| 2. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Women with blond hair. B. Women with a slim figure. C. Women with tanned skin. D. Women with pale skin. |

[ ] |
| A. is hard-working B. doesn't have to work C. has a lot of money and spare time D. is from a very poor family |

| As many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers. They say the problem is growing. Teenagers really don't pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露) to, Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston told Reuters. "Often people won't notice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development," said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers. The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent. "This certainly is big news," said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. Hearing loss is very common in old people, Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group. In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said Grimes. The reasons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure-on the job, at school or from activities, for example-the teenagers didn't report any change. But Shargorodsky said that might not be true. "We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure-they underestimate (低估) it." Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for example. "There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear," said Grimes. Although it's not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers' hearing loss, Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening. |
| 1. According to the researchers, in a US class of 40 students, about _____ students have some degree of hearing loss. |
|
[ ] |
| A. one B. five C. six D. eight |
| 2. Which of the following statements is true according to the article? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Slight hearing loss does not influence learning. B. Only a few old people have hearing problems. C. Hearing problems can slow language development. D. Noise exposure is clearly noticed by teenagers. |
| 3. About hearing loss, it can be inferred that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the reasons for the rise have been found B. MP3 players are to blame C. listening to loud music may be a cause D. noise is the main reason |
| 4. The article was written to _____. |

[ ] |
| A. warn teenagers that loud music might be harmful B. explain what kinds of noises might affect studies C. suggest that teenagers shouldn't listen to loud music D. show how important hearing can be for learning |

| By the time a student starts to apply (申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks, which are important to improve the student's chances of getting in. 1. After-school activities When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time. Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success. 2. Leadership Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility. If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for. 3. Consistency (一致性) Admissions officers like an application (申请) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特别地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest. Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things. |
| 1. Who was the article written for? |
|
[ ] |
| A. US college students hoping to study in China. B. Chinese college students hoping to study in the US. C. Third year high school students hoping to study in the US. D. Teenagers hoping to study in the US. |
| 2. The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. made clear B. something unchangeable C. become obvious D. at the right level(水平) |
| 3. The author's suggestion is to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. try as many different organizations as possible B. start planning for college at the beginning of high school C. make everything in an application consistent D. put non-academic tasks before academic tasks |
| 4. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in. B. It's already too late for first year students to apply for a US university. C. It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university. D. Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school. |

| Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (过程) easier for everyone. Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好处) of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact. The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you're not happy about the move, try to keep a positive (积极的) attitude to it. During the move, a parent's attitude can greatly influence kids. No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it's being forced (被迫) on them. If you're moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood. A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together. |

|
[ ] |

| 2. In which situation does the author advise to put off a move? |
|
[ ] |

| 3. Which is the most important when making the move easier for children? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Allowing them to choose a school by themselves. B. Trying not to show them the bad parts of a move. C. Offering them as much information as possible. D. Promising to choose a new house with them. |
| 4. The author wrote this text mainly to tell us _____. |
|
[ ] |

| Disaster (灾难)strikes South-east Asia The tsunami (海啸) which hit twelve South-east Asian countries on 26 December 2004 was a great disaster. More than 200,000 people died in the tsunami. Not only did people living in Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka die, but many European tourists who were on holiday in these countries also died. Now, we are just beginning to understand how much damage was caused to the environment and to the economy. The biggest problem after the tsunami has been illnesses which have spread to many people. These illnesses are mostly caused by a lack of clean drinking water. People are drinking dirty water because there is no other water available. This dirty water is making them sick. Also, the hospitals in these poor countries are not big enough to deal with all the people who were hurt in the tsunami. Many people who live in the areas hit by the tsunami are farmers and fishermen. The tsunami destroyed their homes, their fields and their boats. The salt water from the ocean covered the farmers' fields, so they can no longer grow food. Also, fishermen are finding that there are fewer fish in the ocean. Now, these people, who were already quite poor, have no way to earn money. No one knows how long it will take for the fish to return, or for the farmers to be able to grow food again. Tourism is also very important in these areas, but many famous tourist areas are destroyed during the tsunami. The whole world is helping these countries recover from the tsunami. Many governments have given aid money. UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, has set up 200 places where people can get help. It has also provided clean drinking water. One organization called Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) has sent many doctors to care for sick people. In Indonesia, some government officials think that some villages should be moved away from the ocean, and that farmers should learn how to grow different types of food. No one knows how much money or how much time it will take for this area to recover completely. However, with the help and aid that is being sent to the affected areas, hopefully it won't take long. |
