A
It is well-known that fatigue driving(疲劳驾驶)is very dangerous．A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months．
The device is a kind of system,which is called Driver Alert，and it aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20％—40％that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30％of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue．Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots，gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．
Driver’s response time is directly related to tiredness．Usually,a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds,it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible．
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests，scheduled for six months’time，are successful，the makers will bring the product to market within about a year．
56．According to the text，Driver Alert ．
A．aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B．has been on sale for12 months C．has gone through testing at laboratories D．aims to prevent drivers from sleeping 57．How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
A．By sounding a warning．B．By checking the driving time．C．By touching the wrist band．D．By pressing the steering wheel．58．We Can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his
response time is .
A．about 400 milliseconds B．over 4 seconds
C．over 500 milliseconds D．about 4 minutes
59．When the driver gets sleepy while driving，Driver Alert ．A．moves more regularly B．opens the window for the driver C．stops working properly D．sounds more frequently and loud 60．What’s the main idea of the last p aragraph?
A．The device is expected to be marketed in about one year．
B．The device will go through the tests soon．
C．The tests have been scheduled for six months．
D．All the drivers will soon use the Driver Alert．
B
GUANGZHOU：Young migrant workers(民工)left home alone are more likely to commit crimes，according to a recent survey．
Up to 90 percent of migrant workers serving sentences in southern Guangdong province are younger than 26,according to the survey conducted by the human rights research center of Guangzhou University．
“Most young migrant workers who commit crimes were left alone in their hometowns during their childhood，”said Xie Jianshe，deputy director of the research center．
The survey polled 72 criminals of the so-called young generation of migrant workers in prisons and found about 80 percent experienced a“lonely childhood,”without parental care.
Xie attributed their crimes to inadequate education from families in their chil- dhood．“They usually don’t receive higher education．Inadequate education and less care from parents greatly harmed them，”Xie said．
Among those polled，up to 76 percent said they went to cities for“better life”right after quitting school．“Their parents，also working in cities，don’t know how to care for and educate their children，”Xie said．
Young migrant workers are usually involved in robbery，gang-related crime，according to the survey．
Up to 81 percent of young criminals are involved in property crimes．
The new generation of migrant workers usually refers to those born after 1980 who work In cities．
“Unlike their older counterparts，the flew generation of migrant workers begin working in cities fight after quitting school，without qualified technical training or higher education，”said Wang Chunguang，a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences．
Commonly，they have a hard-time integrating into the urban lifestyle and work environment，but are unwilling to return home，Wang said．
“In terms of work and lifestyle，they should be treated the way young，urban workers are usually treated，”Wang said．
A fair policy for employment，living education and social security will play a key role to help younger migrant workers integrate(融入) better,Wang said．

Stand barefoot on the floor．Now move your stomach muscles and“roll”them quickly,making waves．“Rolling”your stomach is just the first step in learning how to belly dance．Before the French called it”belly dancing，”the Arabs called it Sharqi,or“Oriental Dance．”Although its exact origins are unknown，most historians agree it was first performed in Middle Eastern countries．From there it spread to the Mediterranean，North Africa，and Asia．Long before belly dancing became mostly aIl entertainment for mail，women belly danced for their female family members before childbirth or weddings without any mail present．The stomach rolling was believed to help the mother-to-be have a smoother delivery．It was also a sign of fertility(多产)and a connection with Mother Nature．While performing this dance，women in scarves and veils would play finger cymbals(手指铙钹)along with the music．They’d also dance with coin belts tied around their waists．These belts were worn in case the dancer had to run away quickly with the family’s wealth．Aside from the belts，belly dancers would sometimes bring to the stage candles，swords,and evcn snakes．
In the 1950’s，belly dancing was outlawed in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East Even today,it is illegal to show belly dancing on television．Belly dancing is still forbidden in parts of the Middle East today，but enjoyed by both men and women in other parts of the world．
66．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Belly dancing was originally performed for women by women．
B．Belly dancing is believed to have spread from Europe to Middle East．
C．Belly dancing came into fashion in the Middle East in the 1950’s．

67．Why did women wear belts made of coins around their waists?

B．Women would have a smoother delivery．
C.So belly dancing would become more enjoyable．
D．So they could keep their money close to them．
68．Which is not the advantage of belly dancing?
A．It can help women give birth to their children easily．
B．It can entertain people who are involved in it．
C．It used to show that the woman dancer was fertile．
D.Women in scarves and veils would play finger cymbals along with the music．69．What did belly dancers bring with them on stage?

D．Mother Nature，music，snakes．

Children can be looked on as natural scientists,they are always eager to look into the world around them．Helping them enjoy science can be easy；there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment．What you should do is only to have to share your children’s curiosity．Firstly,listen to their questions．Once I visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job．The children asked me“textbook questions”about schooling，salary and whether I liked my job．When I finished answering，we sat facing one another in silence．Finally I said，“Now that we’re finished with your lists，do you have questions of your own about science?”
There was a long silence，then a boy raised his hand，“Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢)eat?When I try eating leaves like that，I get a stomachache．Why?”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours．
Secondly，let them think themselves．Studies over the past 30 years have shown that，after asking a question，adults typically wait only one．second or less for an answer,no time for a child to think．When adults increase their“wait time”to three seconds or more，children give more logical(符合逻辑的)，complete and creative answers．
Thirdly,notice your language．Once you have a child involved in a science discussion，don’t jump in with“That’s right”or“Very good”．These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior．But in talking about science，quick praise can suggest that discussion is over,Instead，keep things going by saying，“That’s interesting”or“I’d never thought of it that way before”.or coming up with more questions or ideas．
Remember：Never push a child to“Think”．It doesn’t make sense，children are always thinking，without your telling them to．What’s more，this can turn a conversation into a performance．The child will try to find the answer you want，in as few words as possible．so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement．
Lastly,show；don’t tell．Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive
than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜)，and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner ．Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发)，set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop ． 71．According to the passage ，children are natural scientists ，and to raise their interest ，the most important thing for adults to do is ． A ．to let them see the world around B ．to share the children’s curiosity C ．to explain difficult phrases about science D.to supply the children with lab equipment 72.In the last sentence of the first paragraph ，the word “lists”could best be replaced by . A ．any questions B ．any problems C ．questions from textbooks D ．any number of questions 73.According to the passage ，children Can answer questions in a more logical ，complete and creative way if aduIts . A ．ask them to answer quickly ． B ．wait for one or two seconds after a question ． C ．tell them to answer the next day ． D ．wait at least for three seconds after a ．question. 74.In which of the following paragraph(s)does the author tell us what to say to encourage Children in a science discussion? A ．The second and third ． B ．The fourth and fifth ． C ．The fifth and sixth ． D ．The seventh ． 75．The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children’s curiosity except that adults should . A ．tell their children stories instead of reciting facts B ．offer their children chances to see things for themselves C ．be patient enough when their children answer questions D ．encourage their children to ask questions of their own 第Ⅱ卷非选择题(共45分) 五：书面表达(共两节，满分45分) 第一节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求) Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within ．The first nemy that you’ve got to destroy be fore it destroys you is indifference ．What a tragic(悲剧的)disease this is!“Ho -hum ，let it slide(滑动)．I’ll just drift along ．”Here’s one problem with drifting ：you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain ． The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断)．Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise ．It will steal your chances for a better future ．Take a sword to this enemy ．
__________________ 班级__________________ 考号__________________________
The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there’s room for healthy skepticism．You can’t believe everything．But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past,doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．，they doubt themselves．I’m telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is all enemy．Get rid of it．
The fourth enemy within is worry．We’ve all got to worry some．Just don’t let it conquer(征服)you．Instead，let it alarm you．Worry can be useful．If you step off the curb(侧石)in New York City and a taxi is coming，you’ve got to worry．But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner．Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries：drive them into a small corner.Whatever is out to get you，you’ve got to get it．Whatever is push ing on you,you’ve got to push back．The fifth enemy is overcaution.It is the timid(胆小的)approach to life．Timidity is not a virtue；it’s all illness．If you let it go，it’ll conquer you．Timid people don’t get promoted．They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace．You’ve got to avoid overcaution．
76．What’s the best title for this passage?(within 8 words)
77.List three enemies inside that might prevent US from getting promoted．(Within 5 words)
. 78．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases．(Within 5 words)

作文：One possible version：
Recently,some seri ous laws have been passed to punish any drunk drivers．We held a heated discussion about it in our schooll．
As we all know,drunk driving easily causes accidents and it endangers the safety of the drivers themsel ves and others．
To deal with the situation，it's far from enough for the traffic pol ice tO wam the drunk drivers or simply get them fined．The solution of the problem cal ls for heavier punishments．Therefore，most of us students strongly support the new laws aimed at preventing drunk driving．
In my opinion，it’s a long way to go to put an end to this ohenomenon．We must carry on traffic safety education quite often and make the drivers aware of the importance of obeying traffic rules as well as the sufferings they might cause to other people．Last but not least，related laws should be strictly put into effect．In a word，drunk driving must be prohibited by any possible means．
