            If you wear socks on your ears, you won’t be punished. Crossing a street against a red light is
    another matter - it’s against the law. Laws are __    1____ rules made by governments. They keep peace

            In country after country, talk of nonsmokers’ right is in the air. While a majority of countries have
    taken little or   1   action yet, some 30 nations introduced steps based on the law to control smoking.
    Many laws have been made in other   2   to help clear the air for nonsmokers, or to cut the quantity of
    cigarettes. 
            In some developed countries the quantity of cigarettes has become more or less fixed. However, in
    many   3   (develop) nations, smoking is seen as a sign of economic progress - and is   4 encouraged. As
    more tobacco companies go international, new markets are sought to gain new   5   in those countries. For
    example, great efforts are made by the American tobacco industry to sell cigarettes in Middle East and
    North Africa,   6   sales of tobacco increased by more than 27 percent in 1974.
            World government should lead the battle   7   smoking. Limitations on cigarette advertisements, plus
    health warnings on packages and forbidding public smoking in certain places, are   8   most popular tools
    used by nations in support of nonsmoker or controlling smoking. But world attention also is being paid to
    another step which will make the smoker increasingly self-conscious (自觉的) and uncomfortable about
    his habit. Great efforts should   9   (make) to inform young people especially of the shocking results of
    taking up the habit. And cigarette price should be raised.
            In the long run,   10   is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were forbidden
    altogether, but people are not ready for such strong action.

            Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability. They feel
    hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?
            To be sure, people are different. You cannot expect to do everything as well as certain other people
    do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would
    be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better
    players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some
    seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job.
    In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.
            Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In
    these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their
    reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months,
    another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.
    1.With the example of basketball players, the author shows ________.
    A. why certain people are poor readers
    B. that there are differences in people’s abilities
    C. why some people are good basketball players
    D. that good basketball players can be good readers
    2.To improve their reading ability, people should ________.
    A. work long and hard
    B. take different forms of tests
    C. have special help and practice
    D. try different reading materials
    3.The experiments mentioned in the text show that ________.
    A. good readers seem to enjoy reading
    B. almost all poor readers can make progress
    C. causes of poor reading were difficult to find out
    D. tests help people improve their reading ability
    4.What does the underlined sentence “many would be in between” mean?
    A. It means that many are the best basket players.
    B. It means that many are the worst basket players.
    C. It means that many are standing in the middle of the line.
    D. It means that there are several levels of players in many students.
    5.What’s the purpose of the author’s writing this passage?
    A. To encourage people to improve their reading ability.
    B. To suggest that readers should do practice only in reading.
    C. To tell us that readers can’t improve their reading ability without special help.
    D. To tell us that to be a good reader, one should be guided in the right way.

            At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible site for a house. I have thus
    searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one
    after another, and I knew their prices.
            The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before
    the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered
    me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the dollars and sold him the farm
    for just what I gave for it.
            The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the
    village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded (相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from
    the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used
    for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a
    forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down
    the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it
    before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
            I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a
    large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes
    but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
    1.What do we know about the author?
    A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he live.
    B. He made a study of many farms before buying.
    C. He made money by buying and selling farms.
    D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
    2.Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?
    A. It was of good market value.
    B. It was next to the highway.
    C. It was is a good position.
    D. It was behind a nice garden.
    3.Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
    A. He was afraid the owner might change his mind.
    B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
    C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
    D. He was eager to become a farm owner.
    4.The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ________.
    A. the money the author lost in buying the farm
    B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
    C. the removal of the trees around the house
    D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place
    5.What does the author believe as important in life?
    A. To own a farm.
    B. To satisfy his needs.
    C. To be free from worries.
    D. To live in the countryside.

            Latest data shows an estimated 39.5 million people around the world are living with HIV, the virus
    that causes AIDS. According to the report, this means every eight seconds somebody in the world is
    infected with HIV, resulting in 11,000 people becoming newly infected every day.
            The director of UNAIDS, Peter Piot, says most of the new infections, nearly two-thirds, are in
    Sub-Saharan Africa. But, the biggest increases are in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where infection
    rates have risen by more than 50 percent since 2004. He says 2.9 million people died from AIDS-related
    illnesses this year, the highest number ever.
            UNAIDS senior epidemiologist(流行病学家), Karen Stanecki, says infections are rising in countries
    where HIV prevention programs have not adapted to the changing nature of the epidemics(流行病).  
    Stanecki noted,"In Thailand, one of our past success stories, a large percentage of new HIV infections
    are occurring in people considered to be low risk. One third of new infections are among married women."
             It says data shows increased use of condoms has resulted in drops in HIV prevalence(流行) among
    young people between 2000 and 2005 in a number of African countries, including Botswana, Kenya and
    Zimbabwe. Nevertheless, the report notes young people between the ages of 15 and 24 account for 40
    percent of new HIV infections. It finds the risk behavior, such as injecting drug use, homosexuals, is a
    factor of concern in many regions of the world, especially in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
            The report notes the emergence (出现) of injecting drug use as a factor of HIV in Kenya, Tanzania,
    Nigeria and South Africa is a recent development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
    1. According to the news report, how many people are newly infected with HIV a year?
    A. 39.5 million.

    C. 3.5 million.
    D. 4 million.
    2.The highest rate of new HIV infection is in ________.

    4.Which of the following statements is Not True?
    A. Most of new infections of HIV are among married women.
    B. Two fifths of the new infections are among young people aged 15 to 24.
    C. The risk behavior, such as injecting drug use and homosexuals, exists in many parts of the world.
    D. Injecting drug use occurs in many African countries.
    5.What is the main idea of the new report?
    A. More and more women in the world are getting new HIV infection.

            According to a report from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the sale of computer
    games in the United States of America has more than doubled in the past 10 years, from $2.6 billion to
    $7 billion in 2005. Analysts (分析家) say that these numbers are very alarming and many people are
    asking, “Can gaming become an addiction?” Elizabeth Woolly said, “Computer games, like any other
    activity, can be hard to stop once an addiction has been formed.”
            Many students are addicted to computer games and they even forget eating and bathing. They don’t
    go to school, playing games for hours of days. It is said that last year, seven people in South Korea died as
    a result of too much gaming. 
           “We have kids who don’t know how to communicate with people face to face because they have
    spent three years playing games and talking to others through a computer. Eventually computer games have
    spoiled their eyes,” said a father.
