阅读理解。      With the start of the new term, the students around the country exchange their fun and fashionable
clothes for boring school uniforms (校服). But not all campuses are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes,
school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.
      "The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises
on the playground," said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. "But the boys wear different
sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express
yourself," said Qing. 
      Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school,
especially shoes, according to Qing. "Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have
items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date," Qing added. He explained that "Since Liu Xiang ran
so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn. "Still in fashion are the various baseball
caps and American-style T-shirts with random (随意的) English words printed on them," said Qing. Besides
sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express
their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating (装饰) them with small hanging
dolls. Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term.
"Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticized it as a childish
regression (退化). But some girls just love it," said Yang Rui, a Senior 3. 1. What does "a bunch of clones" (Para 2) mean? [     ]

阅读理解。     Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged
Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That"s because we group
people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports
activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?
      We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears
for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it"s
so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.
      Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the
young. 
      A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed.
But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the
children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never
been less lonely," the reporter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor
showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn"t gotten out of bed in a week
suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child.
Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure. 
      Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my
husband put it, "my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
      Grandchildren speak of attention they don"t get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling
me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell
which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting. 1. Now in an American family, people can find that ____. [     ]
A. children never live with their parents
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents 2. The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____. [     ]
A. the old don"t like to live in a big family
B. the young can"t get enough money to support the old
C. different generations have different lifestyles
D. the old are too weak to live with the young 3. The fact that the reporter told us shows that ____. [     ]
A. old people in America lead a hard life
B. old people in America enjoy banana bread
C. she had no time to take care of her children
D. old people are easy to get along with 4. Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ____. [     ]
A. they had never seen a baby before
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby"s mother would take care of them

阅读理解。Dear Victor:
     I am a college student. Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my
roommates are very intererted in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about
them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as part of life. I"ve begged (乞求) them to give it up,
but they wouldn"t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do
something else? 
                                                                                                                                                 Ted,
Dear Ted:
      Drop it. Your roommates, as grown-ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn"t
break school rules or violate (防碍) other people"s interests.
      Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation (放松) from hard study. If they play too often, have little
time to study, and they will reap what they have sown, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only
harm your good name in your dormitory (宿舍). However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet
when you need sleep. If they aren"t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps,
in return, join them in a game or two.

阅读理解。     In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone
diagrams, lotus flowers, and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students
were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them
in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. I find
that creativity (创新) can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency (流利程度).
     Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholar in the arts, psychology (心理学),
business, education, and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Sternberg
is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as"the ability to produce
work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation)". This definition is useful, as
we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars
say there are two types of creativity: big "C" creativity and small "c" creativity. Big "C" creativity refers
to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small "c"
creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter.
While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our
aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways. 1. The underlined words "waiting for the bell" in the first paragraph probably mean _____. [     ]
A. longing for a phone call
B. hoping to have a bell
C. expecting the end of the class
D. wanting to speak in class 2. It can be inferred from the passage that the author thought the exercises in the book were _____. [     ]
A. popular
B. useful
C. scientific
D. creative 3. When you use a very familiar word in a new way, you are _____. [     ]
A. creative in the sense of big "C" creativity
B. creative in the sense of small "c" creativity
C. not creative in the sense of big "C" creativity
D. not creative in the sense of small "c" creativity 4. The main purpose of the passage is to _____. [     ]
A. show how useful the book is
B. explain what creativity is
C. discuss how one can be creative
D. tell what teaching aims

阅读理解。

     Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used
to be crazy about specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption (消费) on the interest of
celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of
putting models on the cover because they don"t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities
have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others" products to
developing their own. 
     Celebrity clothing lines aren"t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed
at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they"re started by first-class stars
whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been
those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the
market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
     However, for every success story, there"s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his
consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product"s origins is, if it fails to impress consumers with its
own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial (最初的)
attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty (忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels.
     Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than
ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity"s shelf life,
and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when
the opportunity appears. Still, the ego"s (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved
great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the
saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short
time, but fashion-like celebrity-has always been temporary.

1. Fashion magazines today _____. [     ]
A. seldom put models on the cover
B. no longer put models on the cover
C. need not worry about celebrities" market potential
D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly 2. A change in the consumer market can be found today that _____. [     ]
A. price rather than brand name is more concerned
B. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements
C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned 3. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly _____. [     ]
A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products
B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business
D. influence the price of a celebrity"s products 4. The passage is mainly about _____. [     ]
A. celebrity and personal style
B. celebrity and markets potential
C. celebrity and fashion design
D. celebrity and clothing industry
