I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people 36 I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a 37 person.

By the end of my first semester, I was really 41 .It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a(n)42 .I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I 43 to help. That was really a big 44 for me.

二、阅读理解Reading Comprehension

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(监控器)a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked—remotely—to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?

In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid—that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.

Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.

Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.

Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.

41．Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam? ______

A．To correct her typing mistakes. B．To find her secrets in the room.

C．To prevent her from slowing down. D．To keep her from dishonest behaviors.

42．The underlined ex pression “cutting edge” in Paragraph 3is closest in meaning to ______.

A．advanced technique B．sharpening tool

C．effective rule D．dividing line

43．For internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if ______.

A．they can attract potential students B．they can defeat academic cheating

C．they offer students online help D．they offer many online courses

44．Some programs can find out possible cheaters by ______.

A．checking the question answering speed B．producing a large number of question

C．scanning the Internet test question D．giving difficult test question

45．Which of the following is the best title of this passage? ______

A．The Advantages of Online Exams B．The High-tech Methods in Online Courses

C．The Fight against Cheating in Online Education D．The War against the Booming of Online Education

（2）

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should r esult in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.

The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.

I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.

The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.

In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

66．For what purpose did Belyaev create the lampbrella? ______

A．To predict a heavy rain. B．To check the weather forecast.

C．To protect people from the rain. D．To remind people to take an umbrella.

67．What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph2? ______

A．His creation was inspired by an experience. B．It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.

C．Street lamps are protected by canopies. D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

68．Which of the following show how the lampbrella works? ______

A．motor→canopy→sensors B．sensors→motor→canopy

C．motor→sensors→canopy D．canopy→motor→sensors

69．What does paragraph 5mainly tell us about the lampbrella? ______

A．Its moving speed. B．Its appearance. C．Its installation. D．Its safety.

70．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ______

A．The designer will open a company to promote his product.

B．The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.

C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

D．The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for

attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.

Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.

Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.

The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.

Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额).

These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.

71．Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO? ______

A．The number of its customers was declining B．Its customers found the food unhealthy

C．It was in need of financial support D．Most of its restaurants were closed

72．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2ref er to? ______

A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants B．Sparrow restaurants

C．Customers of other fast-food chains D．other fast-food chains

73．For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign? ______

A．To build a good relationship with the public B．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow

C．To learn about customers’ spending power.D．To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.

74．The TV ads of Sparrow ______.

A．changed people’s views on pop stars B．amused the public with original songs

C．focused on the superiority of its products D．influenced the eating habits of the audience

75．What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO? ______

A．He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.B．He made Sparrow much more competitive.

C．He helped Sparrow take over a company. D．He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.

三、阅读表达

阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They

cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

57．What’s the English meaning of the underlined word “repressing” in Paragraph 2? (no more than 1or 2 words) 58．According to the passage, what are the common ways for people to express their anger? (no more than 20 words)

59．Why do doctors say anger is dangerous? (no more than 15 words)

60．How can you deal with anger successfully in your daily life? (no more than 20 words)
