I. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（30分）

A

Young children who are smacked by their parents grow up to be happier and more successful than those who have never been hit， research claims. It found that children who are smacked before the age of six perform better at school when they are teenagers. They are also more likely to do voluntary work and to want to go to university than those who have never been physically punished. But the study also revealed that children who are smacked after the age of six were more likely to exhibit behavioural problems， such as being involved （卷入） in fights.

Smacking is currently banned in 20 European countries， including Germany， Spain and the Netherlands. In Britain “reasonable punishmentment” in the home is allowed unless it leaves a mark. Marjorie Gunnoe， professor of Psychology found there was not enough evidence to prove that smacking harmed most children. She said： “The claims that are made for not spanking children fail to hold up. I think of spanking （打屁股） as a dangerous-tool， but then there are times when there is a job big enough for a dangerous tool. You don't use it for all your jobs.”

Professor Gunnoe questioned 2，600 people about being smacked. Their answers then were compared with their behaviour， such as academic success， optimism about the future， and  violence. Teenagers in the survey who had been smacked only between the ages of two and six performed best on all the positive measures. Those who had been smacked between seven and eleven acted worse but were more likely to be academically successful.

However， there are different opinions. “No good can come from hitting a child，” parenting expert Penelope Leach said. “I do not buy this idea that children will learn positive behaviour from being smacked.  The law says adults hitting adults is wrong and children should be protected in the same way. Children are people too.”

1. What does the underlined word “smacked” in the first paragraph mean？

A. ignored B. praised C. hit D. criticized

2. We know from Paragraph 2 that parents in Britain ______.

A. are stopped from beating their children B. are allowed to punish their children slightly

C. are asked to hit their children as much as possible

D. are prevented from teaching their children properly

3. What Marjorie Gunnoe said in Paragraph 3 shows that ______.

A. smacking is necessary sometimes B. spanking is a very dangerous tool

C. smacking does harm to most children D. spanking should be used all the time

4. How did Professor Gunnoe get her conclusion？

A. Through research.                  B. Through experiment.

C. Through observation.                D. Through imagination.

5. What is Penelope Leach's attitude toward the new findings？

A. supportive      B. curious      C. careless      D. unfavorable

Robovie helping your grandma with her shopping？ What could be more attractive？

Robovie is a three-foot-tall robot developed by Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International. ATR is testing a special version of their robot at the Apita-Seikadai supermarket in Kyoto until March 2010. Robovie and its associated system also monitors your grandma's health and even suggests specific dishes to improve health.

Shoppers begin by using a special menu-driven device to select items for purchase. Then， when the shopper arrives at the store， the robot and the device communicate with each other. Now， Robovie knows what you want to purchase.

In a demonstration video， the child-sized robot goes with a 67-year-old woman while she shops for oranges and broccoli. Robovie cheerfully carries the shopping basket and reminds her to get the oranges， recommends the apples， reminds her to get the broccoli， and suggests including lettuce in her salad along with the broccoli that is already on the list. The robot also takes care to state how delicious the items look.

“I'd be appreciative of a robot that reminded me about what I had decided to buy; I'm not so sure about a robot that tried to ‘oversell’ me once I got in the store，” said a 62-year-old granny.

Fans of Philip K. Dick have been cringing from this possible future since the publication of his short story Sales Pitch in 1954. In the story， robot salesmen are everywhere， gesturing， begging， and screaming. One started after him and he quickened his pace. It hurried along，  trying to attract his attention， all the way up the hill to his living-unit. It didn't give up until he bent over， picked up a rock， and threw it. He walked into the house and closed the door heavily after himself. The robot hesitated， then turned and raced after a woman with an armload of packages walking up the hill. She tried to avoid it， but without success.

6. Which of the following is TRUE about Robovie？

A. It is working in many supermarkets now.

B. It prepares delicious dishes for old people.

C. It reminds shoppers and offers them suggestions.

D. It knows what shoppers want to buy when seeing them.

7. What's the Grandma's attitude towards Robovie？

A. supportable  B. opposed    C. positive  D. pessimistic

8. The underlined word “cringing” in the last paragraph probably means ______.

A. avoiding B. expecting C. judging D. describing

9.  In the story Sales Pitch， robots ______.

A. are helpful to customers B. become a burden to people

C. understand what customers think of D. aren't tired from serving customers

10.  The purpose of this passage is to ______.

A. advise old shoppers to receive help from robots

B. predict the wide use of robots in the future

C. warn people of the trouble robots will bring

D. introduce a new robot helping old shoppers

C

The coldest places on earth today are the polar region and some of the high mountain regions such as the Himalayas， the Alps， the Andes and so on. The temperature in these areas is freezing and can make human inhabitation impossible at times. Despite the adverse weather condition， people are living in these regions. For centuries， people have battled cold weather conditions to find sustenance （食物） on a routine basis.

The North Pole and South Pole have been conquered by human beings long back. In the North Pole， most of the water is frozen all the time and human habitation is not found. Only ice breaker ships take people to the North Pole on tourist expeditions. Otherwise， wild life such as polar bears， seals and aquatic （水中的） life is found in plenty in the North Pole， which is not fit for human habitation. Similarly， in the South Pole， a lot of birds can be found. Countries have set up bases， which are occupied by people round the year despite the frigid conditions. Both north and south poles are not hospitable （好客的） and adverse weather conditions are found to have had negative impact on human beings. In the beginning， conquering the polar regions was not an easy task. It was only after several expeditions by adventurers that both the poles were conquered. They took a toll on the human life naturally. Both the poles fall under the tundra（凍土） region， divided geographically.

The tundra region poses extreme weather conditions. Though vegetation is found in this region sparsely， practicing agriculture is literally impossible. The weather does not support cultivation or growing crops. In these regions， the only way a person can lead a livelihood is to adopt hunting and fishing as the primary source of food. However， this is not suggested in the long run. Off late， it has been found that the polar regions are rich in a variety of minerals， including energy sources such as oil and natural gas. Therefore， the countries are engaged in claiming territorial rights over the polar regions.

11. All the following belong to the coldest places except ______.

A. the Himalayas B. the North Pole

C. north-east of China D. the South Pole

12. As an explorer to the North Pole， you will find ______.

A. people staying there are hospitable B. it was a frozen world

C. there is lots of plants D. a lot of birds living there

13. If you want to survive in the South Pole， you have to ______.

A. look for some plants that can be eaten

B. manage to grow crops under a shelter

C. master the skills of hunting or fishing

D. fight against cruel marine animals

14. The passage is mainly talking about ______.

A. the coldest places on earth B. People living in the coldest places

C. how to conquer the North Pole and South Pole

D. the extreme weather conditions

15. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. some developed countries have conquered the two poles

B. the two poles didn't belong to any countries in history

C. the temperatures in the two poles are the same

D. the war is unavoidable because of the ownership of the two poles

What do you think about copying somebody？ Things may happen like this： “What a __1__ card you have made！ Would it bother you if I got one like it？” But speaking as someone who is __2__ all the time， I can understand how it can get to be __3__. Take last Valentine's Day for example.

“What are you doing， Arizona？” asked Indi.

“Making someone valentines （情人卡），” I said.

“We want to make valentines， too！” said Tex.

“OK，” I said. “But you have to get your own art __4__”

“I want to use the same __5__ you are using！” said Indi. “Please， Zona，” __6__ Indi. “Can't we use just a little of your special stuff？”

“Oh， all right，” I said， “as long as you __7__ not to copy my designs.”

“We won't，” said Indi.

It __8__ all right. I could tell that Tex and Indi were trying to make their valentines look different from mine.

“This one's a sea-monster valentine！” said Tex. “This one's a lovebird valentine！” said Indi.

“Those are really __9__，” I said.

But before long Tex's and Indi's valentines were looking more and more like mine！

“See that？” I said. “It only took me five minutes for you guys to __10__ your promise！”

Then I went to my room， and put the “Please Do Not Disturb” __11__ on my door. Right away， I heard a __12__.

“I'll be out when I've __13__，” I said.

“My ideas should get to be mine！Don't you think so？” I asked my pet cat.

The cat couldn't answer my question. But I got my __14__ in a different way—from something that came sliding __15__ under my door.

It was an almost heart-shaped valentine that didn't look anything at all like mine. It had a drawing of a __16__ face on one side that said： “We're sorry for breaking a promise.” And it had a drawing of a smiley face on the other side that said： “We won't copy you again！”

I opened the door and gave Tex and Indi a big __17__. “And I am sorry for __18__ at you，” I said.

So， I guess the people who get copied should try to __19__ about it， and the copycats should try not to copy so much. __20__ you really have to copy your friend， you might want to ask him if it's OK before you do it. I hope this helps！

II. 閱读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（10分）

What do you think of people？ People around the world are not as different __1__ we think. There are many signs that are alike. Focusing on the things that we all have __2__ common is a much more profitable way than focusing on the difference.

Smiling is the best known of these， but not the only one. Scientists have proven that all over the world， people show __3__（sad） in a similar way. The face “falls”： the mouth __4__ （become） downturned and the eyes begin to look glassy. The person will probably look down or away.

There are also common things when people are __5__ （bore）. They will look at other things. Their feet will begin to move restlessly; they tap their __6__ （finger） or scratch their heads. Anger can also __7__ （read） quite easily： the eyes stare， __8__ （fix） themselves on the target of their anger; blood rushes to the face. If the anger is great， the body will tense up as if preparing itself for a physical fight.

Understanding these universal signals and reacting __9__ （proper） is the key to cross-cultural communication. If we all apply just a little common sense， __10__ is unlikely that we will cause lasting offence.

As for how we put “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” into practice， here is anything about it.

Several years ago， a couple of economic zones are built to develop the economy. Unfortunate， all the efforts failed， because the polluted environment.

Only then did the government realized the importance of green hills and clear waters. Therefore， effective measure were taken to beautify the environment such as prevent pollution， planting trees and so on.
