Women's fashions tend to change more rapidly than men's. In the early 1900's all women wore their skirts down to the ankle. Today, skirt length varies from floor-length to ten inches above the knee. Women's shoes have also gone through all sorts of changes in the last seventy years. For example, boots for women were very common at the beginning of last century. Then, for years, they were not considered fashionable. Today they are back in style again in all colors, lengths, and materials. In fact, today's women can wear all types of clothes---even T-shirts and shorts on almost any occasion. While all of these changes were taking place in women's fashions, men's clothing remained pretty much the same until a couple of years ago. And ,in fact, most men still wear the traditional:suit jacket, shirt, tie though bright colors, patterns, and a variety in cut are now more common.

For one week in April, millions of people chose to watch TV for “TV Turn off week”.
TV Turnoff week started in 1995 and is more popular every year. Many people discover that you can have a good time with the TV off. If that sounds crazy to you, just have a look at some numbers:
-An American teenager spends 900 hours every year at school; the same teenager spends 1,023 hours every year watching TV. That's 2 hours 49 minutes every day.
-An average(平均) British person (not just teenagers) watches 3 hours 35 minutes every day.
-In the US, most TV has adverts. American children see 20,000 adverts every year. By age 65, an American has seen two million ads!
But some research from Britain says that may not be a problem. The London Business School watched people carefully during TV adverts and they discovered that people don't watch a lot of the ads. The researchers discovered that the most common activity during the adverts was walking to the other people in the room. Many other people started reading or doing housework or changed channels during adverts. They only really watched them about 25 percent of the time.
70. During TV Turnoff week, many people don't .
A. watch TV B. change channels
C. watch adverts D. do their school work
71. From the passage we can learn that .
A. American children see more adverts on TV than their parents
B. British people spend more than 3 hours a day in front of their TV
C. Researches noticed that most people changed channels during ads
D. An American teenager spends more time at school than watching TV
72. The writer's purpose is .

B. to tell us how to avoid watching adverts
C. to show us how many adverts American TV has
D. to ask us to turn off TV during TV Turnoff week
C
Let's suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010s. At a number of scenery spot (风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.
Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
73. What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?
A. Many green plants.
B. Many wild animals.
C. Many interesting places.
74. What's the meaning of the underlined word "irrigated"?
A. 冲刷 B. 灌溉 C. 淹没
75. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. People only eat foods in pill form.
B. People don't have plenty of crops.
C. People run the farms by using high technology.
76. Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060?
A. Because they want to be healthier.
B. Because vegetables can make the patients well.
C. Because there will be more people and fewer animals.
77. What attitude(态度) does the writer have about the future life?
A. He feels pretty hopeful about the future.
B. He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.
C. He seems really sad about what is happening in the future.
D
Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future---for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often enjoy happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problem. Many people experience dancing or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elder person, or simply help around the house by washing the dishes.
78. The second paragraph tells us that .
A. we shouldn't think about our future
B. some people fail to live a happy life
C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D. the more friends you have, the happier you will be
79. The passage gives us pieces of advice on happiness.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
80. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Reading a good book
B. Traveling to a foreign country
C. Playing a sport
D. Spending time with close friends
八、短文5选4（共4小题；共8分）
Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. 81. ? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. 82. . Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. 83. .
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family names and not using their husbands'. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations and their husbands' in other situations. 84. .
A. And some use both of them
B. Is it good or bad to change names
C. Why do some people change their names
D. But with his family, he uses Li Kaiming

九、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
Is sleep important for children? A new study says yes.
In America, most people don't get enough sleep. Children aged 5 to 12 are advised to sleep 10 to 11 hours every night, but most of them can't sleep that long. A study found that about 41 million American workers got less than six hours of sleep every night. Scientists worry that parents are passing their poor sleeping habits down to their children.
In the study, Reut Gruber and some other scientists either added or reduced(减少) one hour of sleep for healthy children aged 7 to 11. They watched the children for five nights. They wanted to know if the amount of sleep can affect(影响) a child's behavior.
Before the study began, students were asked to sleep the same amount of hours as usual. Their teachers were asked to record their behavior. After changing the children's sleep for five nights, the teachers had to record again. According to the two records, scientists found that those who slept one hour less behaved worse than those who slept one hour more. Students with less sleep were more likely(可能的) to feel sad and had more problems paying attention.
The scientists chose to study children in their homes instead of in a laboratory, because they wanted to find out how everyday changes might affect children's behavior at school. "In the study, nobody became a talent, and nobody became crazy. But small changes in children can really make a big difference," says Gruber.
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
85. According to scientists, what may cause children to sleep less?
86. Why did scientists do the new study?
87. Who helped do some records in the new study?
88. Who did the scientists find behaved better in the new study?
89. Was the study done in a laboratory?

Women's fashions tend to change more rapidly than men's. In the early 1900's all women wore their skirts down to the ankle. Today, skirt length varies from floor-length to ten inches above the knee. Women's shoes have also gone through all sorts of changes in the last seventy years. For example, boots for women were very common at the beginning of last century. Then, for years, they were not considered fashionable. Today they are back in style again in all colors, lengths, and materials. In fact, today's women can wear all types of clothes---even T-shirts and shorts on almost any occasion. While all of these changes were taking place in women's fashions, men's clothing remained pretty much the same until a couple of years ago. And ,in fact, most men still wear the traditional:suit jacket, shirt, tie though bright colors, patterns, and a variety in cut are now more common.

For one week in April, millions of people chose to watch TV for “TV Turn off week”.
TV Turnoff week started in 1995 and is more popular every year. Many people discover that you can have a good time with the TV off. If that sounds crazy to you, just have a look at some numbers:
-An American teenager spends 900 hours every year at school; the same teenager spends 1,023 hours every year watching TV. That's 2 hours 49 minutes every day.
-An average(平均) British person (not just teenagers) watches 3 hours 35 minutes every day.
-In the US, most TV has adverts. American children see 20,000 adverts every year. By age 65, an American has seen two million ads!
But some research from Britain says that may not be a problem. The London Business School watched people carefully during TV adverts and they discovered that people don't watch a lot of the ads. The researchers discovered that the most common activity during the adverts was walking to the other people in the room. Many other people started reading or doing housework or changed channels during adverts. They only really watched them about 25 percent of the time.
70. During TV Turnoff week, many people don't .
A. watch TV B. change channels

71. From the passage we can learn that .

72. The writer's purpose is .

Let's suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010s. At a number of scenery spot (风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.
Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
73. What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?

A. Because they want to be healthier.
B. Because vegetables can make the patients well.
C. Because there will be more people and fewer animals.
77. What attitude(态度) does the writer have about the future life?
A. He feels pretty hopeful about the future.
B. He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.
C. He seems really sad about what is happening in the future.

Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future---for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often enjoy happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problem. Many people experience dancing or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elder person, or simply help around the house by washing the dishes.
78. The second paragraph tells us that .
A. we shouldn't think about our future
B. some people fail to live a happy life
C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D. the more friends you have, the happier you will be
79. The passage gives us pieces of advice on happiness.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
80. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Reading a good book
B. Traveling to a foreign country
C. Playing a sport
D. Spending time with close friends

Is sleep important for children? A new study says yes.
In America, most people don't get enough sleep. Children aged 5 to 12 are advised to sleep 10 to 11 hours every night, but most of them can't sleep that long. A study found that about 41 million American workers got less than six hours of sleep every night. Scientists worry that parents are passing their poor sleeping habits down to their children.
In the study, Reut Gruber and some other scientists either added or reduced(减少) one hour of sleep for healthy children aged 7 to 11. They watched the children for five nights. They wanted to know if the amount of sleep can affect(影响) a child's behavior.
Before the study began, students were asked to sleep the same amount of hours as usual. Their teachers were asked to record their behavior. After changing the children's sleep for five nights, the teachers had to record again. According to the two records, scientists found that those who slept one hour less behaved worse than those who slept one hour more. Students with less sleep were more likely(可能的) to feel sad and had more problems paying attention.
The scientists chose to study children in their homes instead of in a laboratory, because they wanted to find out how everyday changes might affect children's behavior at school. "In the study, nobody became a talent, and nobody became crazy. But small changes in children can really make a big difference," says Gruber.
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
85. According to scientists, what may cause children to sleep less?
86. Why did scientists do the new study?
87. Who helped do some records in the new study?
88. Who did the scientists find behaved better in the new study?
89. Was the study done in a laboratory?
