阅读理解。     What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know
what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown
out with the rubbish.
     Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony
has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（产品）, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies
now also take back some old computers.
     In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for
collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The
idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage
them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.
     Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all.
Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old
computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.
     The computers then go to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. Giving a
used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful
things-and cut down on waste, too.1. What do many people do with old computers?A. They repair them.
B. They sell them.
C. They send them to others.
D. They stop using them.2. What do the organizations do to solve the problem of old computers?A. Help the computer companies to collect them.
B. Repair and send them to those who need them.
C. Help people to learn to use them.
D. Turn rubbish into useful things.3. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Repairing old computers.
B. Encouraging to make cheap computers.
C. Recycling old computers.
D. Helping those who need computers

阅读理解。     Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human.They grow and change, and don"t
necessarily change for the better.
     Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become
fully-fledged (成熟的) grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts" adventures
in 2001.
     While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise (特权) is coming to an end, some feel even sadder
to see how much the actors have changed over the years.
     "Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter) went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking
guy," said Filipino Internet User Lealuvy."I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever.""
     Radcliffe himself doesn"t seem to be bothered by his change of appearance. In an interview with GQ
magazine last week, he teased himself: "If people find me sexy or cool, it"s because they like short, little,
nerdy guys. And we do have our niche (合适的职业)."
     Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches.
     Harry Melling, who played Potter"s cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost
recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he" d lost a lot of weight he
had as a kid. He was too thin for the part.
     "They (the producers) did this double take, "Oh my God, we are going to have to do something", and I
felt guilty," said Meiling.
     Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of
audience and producers.
     Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney"s hit TV series Hannah Montana.
     When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get
uneasy about her. Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more
clean-cut teen star.
     Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies. But some parents banned their children watching the
show.
      "My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz
Spy." I really don"t think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid."             l. The underlined word "defy" in Paragraph 1 means "_____".A. challenge
B. control
C. clarify
D. abandon2.Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A. Actors always grow and change for the better.
B. Daniel Radcliffe can"t escape from being a kid.
C. Some fans feel sad about the ending of the film series and the actors" changes.
D. Harry Melling was too thin to recast for the film.3. Radcliffe doesn"t feel bothered by his change of appearance because _____.A. people think him sexy or cool
B. people like short, little, nerdy guys
C. he thinks he grows up to be handsome
D. some people do think such a boy as him is sexy4. What do audience and producers concern about?A. The actors" changes in appearances and gradual personality.
B. The actors" weight.
C. Whether the producers did the double take.
D. Whether the actors are sexy or clean-cut.5.We can infer that _____ from the story of Miley Cyrus.A. Miley Cyrus decided to change her sexy adult personality later on
B. Disney bosses prefer pure teen stars to sexy adults in their movies
C. parents prevented their children from watching her show
D. Cindy Crawford is a supermodel, who has a daughter

阅读理解。     I"ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one
distinction (区别) and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction
is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished
result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
     Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us
encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are
trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting
thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn
to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.
     The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what
Elbow calls "free writing." In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually
for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As
the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your
notepad or your screen.
     Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you"ve
persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time
than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.
     Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your
available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back
and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current
practices.1. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind "cannot work in parallel" in the
   writing process, he means                .A. one cannot use them at the same time
B. they cannot be regarded as equally important
C. they are in constant conflict with each other
D. no one can be both creative and critical2. What prevents people from writing on is                .A. putting their ideas in raw form
B. ignoring grammatical soundness
C. attempting to edit as they write
D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts3. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A. To organize one"s thoughts logically.
B. To get one"s ideas down.
C. To choose an appropriate topic.
D. To collect raw materials.4.One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that                .A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind
B. it does not help them to think clearly
C. it may bring about too much criticism
D. it takes too much time to edit afterwards 5. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?A. It allows him to sit on the side and observe.
B. It helps him to come up with new ideas.
C. It saves the writing time available to him.
D. It improves his writing into better shape.

阅读表达。     [1]Why can"t I get it done?
     [2] This is one question millions of people over the globe ask themselves every now and then. It is not
as if you are not working hard, but you simply may not know that there is a difference between work and
productivity. Your plan is what gives you a clear picture of what you are aiming at, but the method of
achieving may vary from time to time. That you did not meet up with a deadline does not mean you were
not working on it. The problem is whether you will be able to manage time.
     [3] Before you start on the next activity, task or project, first ask yourself why you want to do what
you are about to do now. You will by this be able to know if the task should be done, and if the timing is
right.
     [4] Doing the right thing at the wrong time makes it absolutely wrong. So it is not just enough to do
what is right, also consider           . Your time has value, when you spend it on what is right at that instance. On the other hand, the value of your task is when   it   is done at the right time.
     [5] You will feel sorry about the time spent on what was not profitable to you. Time can not be
wasted, because it can not be preserved and replaced. You are always doing something with your time.
What matters is the value of what you are doing at the moment with your time.
     [6] The desire to make a difference begins with the ability to take the right decision on what to do. It
will become simple if you learn to manage time effectively.1. What is the main idea of the text? (within 10 words)

2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (within 10 words)
