It may be a discussion of the way to _27_ in good health, or a _28_ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.

It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only _42_ we get into another. The _43_may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I _44_remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual(不经意) _45_ may not be a bad one.26.

David Miliband, the minister for School Standards, insists the answer is a firm “no”. And he said it was wrong that “more will mean worse and more education for more people will mean lower standards”. Figures show that despite the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent only 22,000 out of 600,000 18-year-olds gain three A-grade passes. Put another way, that means in a primary class of 30 pupils only one will get three A-grades. The center right Bow Group, in a pamphlet published today, however, says nine out of ten scholars believe A-grades have been devalued over the past ten years.Two inquiries (调查) both set up by the Government's exams watchdogs one of which included independent teaching experts, refused to accept that there had been any “dumping down” of A-level standards. But while they conclude that the exam questions have not become easier, changes in examining methods have almost certainly made it easier to gain top-grade passes.As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000, students sit six different types of exams to make up an A-level during the course of their two years of study. Only 20 per cent of the marks are set for the end-of-term exam. This makes it easier for teachers to help their pupils with the right answers.Mr Miliband said yesterday, “My argument is not that today's generation of pupils are cleverer than their parents; it is that schools and teachers are getting better at getting the best out of them.”46. From the writer's point of view, the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent shows _.A. it is generally thought more education means lower standardsB. the rise in the A-level pass rate has made the exam worthlessC. the quality of the 18-year-olds has become lowerD. it is still hard for the general pupils to get three A-grade passes47. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to _.A. the exams watchdogsB. the independent teaching expertsC. the A-level standardsD. the two inquiries48. As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000 _.A. the pass rate for A-levels was set to rise continuouslyB. the exam became easier than it had been before 2000C. pupils could have many more choices of test after 2000D. it soon became popular with teachers and pupils49. What does this passage mainly discuss?A. How reliable and effective the A-level grading system is.B. How the A-level system helps universities select pupils.C. How the pass rate has been increased in recent years.D. How the A-level grading system has changed over the years.B Share Flats Happy Valley big flat, 1 room ready for use immediately.

At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy 54_ replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind 55_. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.56_. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, 57_.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. 58_. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.A. we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth gradersB. who could not have been more than seven or eight years old C. It is called televisionD. Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent yearsE. because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. F. everyone has his own secret in his heartG. some people are interested in knowing other people's ageIV 短文改错I ever worked as a tour guide. One day I saw advertisement in the newspaper. I rang up the company, but I was given the job immediate. They asked me to take a tour around the city next morning. The manager just told me to say anything that I could think about the city. My first tour is terrible. The old bus was not air-conditioned, because it was the middle of summer. It was uncomfortable inside the bus. The tourist soon became very hot and angry. I owned a very hard time. I stayed there for a few weeks, and then left and joined in a better company.V. 书面表达目前地球面临水资源危机，请你根据以下提示写一篇100词左右的短文。1人们以为淡水是取之不尽的（提示：雨水、河水、井水）2实际上淡水是非常紧缺的（提示：人口增加，工业用水增加，污染）3人类应该怎么办？Global Shortage of Fresh Water _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 参考答案： I. 单项选择15 CDBAC 610 DDCAD 1115 CDABC 1620 DACAB 2125 CDCAD II. 完形填空26-30DBDCA 31-35CABBA 36-40ACDAB 41-45CBDACIII. 阅读理解4649 DDCA 5053 BADC 5458 BEDACIV 短文改错:1. saw后加an 2. but-and 3. immediateimmediately 4. next morning-the next morning 5. think后加of 6. iswas 7. becauseand 8. touristtourists 9. ownedhad 10. 去掉inV 书面表达One possible versions：Global Shortage of Fresh WaterMany people believe that the world's supply of fresh water will never be used up .They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use .Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore ,with the rapid growth of the world's population ,the rising demand for water by industry ,and the serious pollution of our surroundings ,the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water .Actually ,in some big cities ,fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.Therefore ,to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First ,we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second ,scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water ,and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.
