Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers.Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. The magicians combined words and actions form a ceremony.Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an objectfor example, a carving or a dried snakehonored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.36What do magic words mean to people in some society?AThey have the power to kill devils.BThey have power if magician recites the right spells.CThey have no effect at all.DThey can be used whenever they want.37People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by_.Athe spellsBmagic objectsCstones or rings engraved with magic symbolsDmedicine38.Why do many people believe in a fetish?ABecause it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money.BBecause it is carved with magic symbols.CBecause people think spirits live in it.DBecause it can help them with many things.39Whats the best title of the passage?AHow Magic WorksBThe Power of MagicCHow to Practice MagicDThe Choice of MagiciansBEvery culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grownup world.“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. “Its like youre not cool if you dont have a car,” she said.According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16yearolds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learners permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said, “But Id rather be alive than driving, and I_dont_really_trust_my_friends_on_the_road,_either.”In China as more families get cars, more 18yearolds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?40Which may serve as the best title of the article?ACars Helping You to GrowUpBDriving into the GrownUp WorldCTeenagers Driving in AmericaDRecognized Point of Becoming an Adult4116yearold drivers have more accidents possibly because_.Athey want to show themselves offBthey are never experienced driversColder people always drive betterDthey never drive carefully on the road42Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?AHow well off the family is.BWhether the kid is old enough.CWhat traffic condition there is around.DWhether its practically needed.43When Chad said “I dont really trust my friends”, he meant that_.Ahe might run into his friends if he droveBhe didnt agree with his friendsChe might not be safe if his friends droveDhe was afraid that his friends might well lie to himCIm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we_cant_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. Its not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesnt have to ruin your life.44According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago _.Aprobably suffered less from anxietyBwere considered less individualisticCwere less isolated physicallyDwere probably less selfcentered45What does the author mean by saying “we cant turn the clock back” in the third paragraph?AIts impossible to forget the past.BThe social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.CIts impossible to slow down the pace of change.DLessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.46The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about peoples state of mind are _.Aillogical BconfusingCsurprising Dquestionable47Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?ATo children, anxiety is completely avoidable.BTV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.CExercise does not help to lessen childrens anxiety.DSometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.DJapanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school._The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the days studies. Each homeroom has an average of 4045 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.Afterschool ActivitiesClub activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.48Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch_.Ain restaurantsBin school cafeteriasCat home Din homeroom classrooms49Students in the USA go to school_days a year.A180 B200 C240 D30050.The underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph means “_”Aalways Bnever Cseldom Doften51The best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs may be “_”AAt school BIn classCSubjects DHomeroomsESome say everyday miracles(奇迹) are predestined(注定的)the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.In 2001, 11yearold Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brothers Little League Team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadnt planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(换班)at the hospital had been changed to see her sons performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR(心肺复苏术), breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions. And he revived in the end.After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency firstaid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills hed first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the womans throat was freed. The colour began to return to her face.“The food was stuck. I couldnt breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”Who was the woman?Penny Brown.52The author wrote the passage to show us that_.Amiracles are predestined and they can happen anywhereBwhoever helps you in trouble will get a reward one dayCGod will help those who give others a helping handDmiracles wont come without any difficulty sometimes53Which of the following statements is TRUE of Kevin Stephan?AHe was hit on the face by a boy and almost lost his life.BHe was a volunteer junior firefighter, teaching the players firstaid skills.CHe worked parttime in a local restaurant to save money for college.DHe saved Penny Brown though he didnt really know how to deal with food choke.54The underlined word “revived” in the third paragraph most likely means_.Acame back to life Bbecame worseCfailed Dmoved55.When Kevin knew the woman was Penny Brown, probably he first felt_.Ahappy Bsurprised CsadDworried第三部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。If your family is like many in the United States, unloading the weeks groceries includes hauling a case or two of bottled water into your home. On your way to a soccer game or activity, its easy to grab a cold one right out of the fridge, right?But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment. In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to the problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil. Thats enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. Thats about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.So why dont more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but thats not true. In the United States, local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe. There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may leach(过滤) into the water.People love the convenience of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic.Plastic bottle recycling can helpinstead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing.Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfill
