Places of business that used 1o keep daytime business hours are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (无关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more flexible, is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the law of time even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer(学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with extra pay for overtime working, but less familiar with the fact that what makes up overtime is a matter of legal definition (法律规定). When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: Here is the law in action? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.（1）By saying Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be, the writer mans that _. A . work time is equal to rest timeB . many people have a day off on MondayC . it is hard for people to decide when to restD . the line between work time and rest time is unclear（2）The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _. A . fail to make full use of their timeB . enjoy working overtime for extra payC . are unaware of the law of timeD . welcome flexible working hours（3）According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _. A . need to acquire knowledgeB . have to obey their parentsC . need to find companionsD . have to observe the law（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . Our life is governed by the law of time.B . How to organize time is not worth debating.C . New ways of using time change our society.D . Our time schedule is decided by social customs.二、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共17分)5. （7分）任务型阅读California is one of the richest states in AmericaIt has a large amount of landAnd it also has more people than any other statesIt has plenty of natural resources （资源），tooBut everything （A）_ not perfect thereCalifornia has two major problems：earthquakes and forest firesThe San Andreas Fault runs through California（B）As a result of it，the state gets many earthquakes（C） 其中一些地震非常强烈 For example，there was a strong earthquake in San Francisco in 1906It destroyed many buildingsAnd it started a large number of fires（D）More than 3，000 people died after it There have also been many other strong earthquakesSome people fear that thebig （E）onewill hit somedayThey think an earthquake will cause a huge amount of damage （破坏）During summer and autumn，much of California is drySo forest fires，or wildfires，often startThose fires can spread （F）rapidly They burn many forestBut they can also burn peoples homes and buildingsThey often kill people（G）_ firefighters can put them out（1）在文中（A）和（G）的空白处填入合适的单词：_；_（2）写出文中划线部分（B）和（F）的同义词语或近义词语：_；_（3）将文中划线部分（C）译成英语：_（4）将文中划线部分（D）改写为：_（5）文中划线部分（E）指代的是：_6. （10分）任务阅读 （10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填写表格 (每空限填一词)。How do you feel when you have to make a speech(演讲) in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when youre around other people. Experts (专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.Its OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. Its just a case of how much.Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they wont go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill (账单). Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesnt stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isnt a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.You see, being shy isnt all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken English in front of others, just do it! Theres nothing to be afraid of.ShynessMeaningTo feel _or frightenedCausesTo be the_of attentionTo be born shyTo have_experiencesEffects_effectsTo have red_To talk in_sentencesTo be_of meeting new peopleGood effectsTo be quieter and_To be good at_with othersAdviceTo take hold of (抓住) good_三、 选词填空 (共2题；共13分)7. （8分）根据语境从方框中选择恰当的短语填空，有的需要变换形式。每个短语限用一次。communicate with, give a report ,instead of, so that, various types of, talk about, such as, hundreds of（1）The students are_the pictures on the wall. （2）They will play basketball_listening to music this afternoon. （3）Look!
