Former National Football League player and children‘s author Tim Green has added another book to his list of accomplishments: Unstoppable. The book tells the story of a 12-year –old boy named Harrison, who survives life in a cruel foster home before he finally finds a loving family. Once he settles in and realizes his natural football ability, tragedy strikes again and he loses his leg to a deadly bone cancer. Unstoppable follows Harrison‘s incredible journey as he faces many challenges in his life.
Tim Green says he decided to write a novel about a kid facing cancer after watching how his wife fought to survive her own illness. ―Her mental and physical toughness were more heroic to me than anything I‘d ever seen in the national sports leagues,‖ Green told TFK Kid Reporter Zachary J. Lewis.
After watching his wife‘s battle, Green said, he knew he needed to write about a person who
12
struggled through a serious illness. But because the target age for his books is teen, he needed to tell the story through the eyes of someone that age.
【小题1】Who inspires Tim Green to write the novel Unstoppable? A. A boy named Harrison. B. His wife.
C. Zachary J. Lewis. .D. Jeffrey Keith

B
It should be very clear that we live in a most spectacular(壮观的)time. It‘s a time when information is of primary importance. It‘s a time when new information technologies are fundamentally transforming the world in every aspect. Among the changes, which have come upon modern society, the ones in education are probably the most obvious and influential. New information technologies are accelerating changes in education, at the same time presenting revolutionary tools with the potential to make education more efficient and more effective than ever.
The application of new information technologies has remarkably promoted the process of education. Online learning is probably the best case in point. As is often the case with ―technology‖, online learning may appear to be horrible; it can sound like alphabet soup
14
sometimes. Now let‘s see whether you can understand all this. You can participate in CBT at a CLC via the convenience of IDL. What does it all mean? Let me translate: GBT—Computer-Based Training; CLC—Computer Learning Center; IDL—Interactive Distance
The bottom line: the Internet is the most important educational tool in the information age and online learning will become a main part of every individual‘s learning experience in the future. That‘s exactly how we will move knowledge from the ones who have it to the ones who need it faster and cheaper, and that‘s how we‘re going to survive in the information age. 【小题1】The most suitable title for the passage should be ―___________.‖
A. Education in the information age
B. Advantages and disadvantages of online learning C. Online learning vs classroom learning D. How to survive in the information age
【小题2】In Paragraph 3 the microwave oven is mentioned as an example to indicate that_________.
A. online learning needs improving
B. online learning doesn‘t suit everyone
15
C. online learning will exist alongside the traditional model D. online learning is more advanced than the traditional model
【小题3】Which of the following descriptions about online learning is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is more efficient and effective.
B. It is convenient to both teachers and students. C. It stresses interactions between teachers and students. D. It is a cheaper way of learning.
【小题4】It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. not all the people are in favor of online learning
B. it is not easy to combine online learning with classroom learning C. in the future all the courses will be available online
D. in a sense our survival in the world depends on online learning
16
C
Endless playing of songs like All I Want For Christmas in shops during the festive season doesn‘t just drive us mad—the songs also make us more careless with our money, research has warned.
While repeated performance of Jingle Bells may seem like an innocent attempt to raise customers‘ spirits during the nightmare of Christmas shopping, the songs also have a more delicate impact.
―Background music, or ?muzak‘, can be used by marketers to impose cultures—such as the commercialization of Christmas—onto consumers and influence their behaviour, ‖experts said.
Dr. Alan Bradshaw of Royal Holloway, University of London, said, ―Festive jingles are force-fed to Christmas shoppers in a bid to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy. In other words, this is an attempt to control your shopping habits in a way that you might hardly be aware of.‖
17
―Often we are told that we have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but during Christmas the use of music in this way is so common that our freedom to choose disappears.‖
Dr. Bradshaw and Prof Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often ―dumb down‖ the music played in shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier to control their behaviour.
It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore spend more time examining the shelves, for example.
Some providers of background music have been known to promote their services by claiming they can boost profits by controlling the behaviour of customers.
―A common trick is to take a popular current song and record an instrumental version which can be slowed down or sped up at different time of the day to influence behaviour in different ways,‖ Dr Bradshaw said.
Background music is often classed as ―Muzak‖ in honor of the Seattle-based company which began producing its soft-sounding melodies in the 1930s.
【答案】 【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【解析】

D
The research tracked the health of 101,000 US nurses over three decades.
Light-to-moderate smokers were twice as likely to die of sudden heart problems as those who had never smoked.
But those who quit smoking saw their risk begin to go back down within years, a journal of the American Heart Association reports.
_________
During the study, there were 315 sudden cardiac deaths(心脏性猝死)——where the heart unexpectedly stops working.
In people aged 35 or younger, this usually because of a heart condition that runs in the family.
But in people who are older than this—as most of the nurses in the study were —it can be the first sign of coronary heart disease, where the heart‘s arteries become blocked by fatty deposits.
Of the 315 sudden deaths in the study, 75 were among current smokers, 148 were among recent or past smokers and 128 occurred in people who had never smoked.
19
Reason to quit
After taking into account other heart risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and family history of heart disease, Dr Roopinder Sandhu and his colleagues found the women who smoked were twice as likely as likely to die suddenly even if they smoked ―light-to-moderate‖ amounts —between one and 14 cigarettes a day.
For every five years of continued smoking, the risk went up by 8%.
But women who quit saw their risk fall to that of someone who had never smoked, after 20 years of cessation.
【小题1】According to the research, light smokers____________.
A. are not likely to suffer from heart problems
B. are more likely to suffer from heart problems than moderate ones C. can go on smoking only if they don‘t smoke much D. have a high possibility of dying of heart disease 【小题2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Nonsmokers wouldn‘t die of sudden cardiac death
B. Most of the nurses concerned in the research were middle aged.
20
C. All age groups of people were involved in the research.
D. If the smokers had quit smoking, they wouldn‘t have died of heart disease. 【小题3】Which of the following is best suitable for the blank in the passage?
A. Raised risk B. Ways of quitting smoking C. Diseases related to smoking D. Signs of heart disease
【小题4】The underlined word ―nudge‖ in the passage probably means ―____________‖ A. push B. confidence C. study D. comparison
五、任务型阅读:(10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。

Each summer, you hear news about a sports player being rushed to the hospital or passing out because the heat was just too much. If you follow some basic safety tips, you‘ll be safe and happy playing outside for years to come.
Drinking water is crucial to your health in the heat. This is the first thing that everyone says when it is hot outside. You should not drink soda, coffee, or iced tea when you‘re playing outside, and for a few hours after you get inside too.
Be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest. If you feel that your coach don‘t let you take enough breaks in the heat, don‘t wait until you feel awful to march to the sidelines. Once you feel bad, it‘s usually too late. Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks. He‘ll understand.
When you do have a break, don‘t sit in the sun. With the sun beating down on you, you‘ll only heat up and sweat more. Try to grab a seat in the shade under a tree, or even better, go indoors for a little while. Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer.
The signs of dehydration(脱水)can be tough to recognize. They include a dry or sticky mouth, dry skin, a headache, and dizziness(头晕). You might not always feel thirsty, so watch out for the signs of dehydration, and get yourself into the shade and get some water before it gets worse.
The earlier in the day you start your workout or practice, the cooler it will be. If you can start practice before the sun comes up, you have a few good hours to practice in the cool hours of the morning. Also, the earlier you practice, the earlier you can be done, which gives you some good recovery time when the heat gets bad in the afternoon. If you need more practice time, a good idea is to take a break when the heat is bad and come back to the field later in the evening, when the sun is setting.
As long as you pay attention to the above, playing sports safely in the heat isn‘t a difficult thing.
Title: Some safety tips while playing sports in the heat
22
【答案】 【小题1】suitable 【小题2】 rest 【小题3】 indoors
23
【小题6】原词重现:从第五段的句子:get yourself into the shade and get some water before it gets worse. 可知填shade
【小题7】词形转化题:从第六段的句子:The earlier in the day you start your workout or practice, the cooler it will be.可知把cooler改成cool
【小题8】词义归纳题:从第六段的句子:If you can start practice before the sun comes up, you have a few good hours to practice in the cool hours of the morning.可知是在日出前锻炼,填
