Do you have a smart-phone? If so, there is a good way for you to learn English: listening to podcasts (播客)!
Podcasts are made by people from all over the world. You can find them easily on the Internet. There are all kinds of podcasts. Some are about music. Some are about interesting stories. Some are about language learning. Most of the podcasts are free, so you can choose what you are interested in and keep listening!
The other advantage (优点) of listening to podcasts is that you can do it almost any time. You can do it when you are walking to school, or when you are running on the playground. You can do it even when you are going to bed. In this way, your English will get better a lot before you know it.
If you want to improve your English by listening to podcasts, here is something you need to remember. First, don’t listen to podcasts when you are riding a bike. That’s too dangerous! Second, make sure the sound of your smart-phone is not too loud. The loud sound is bad for your hearing.
46. The writer introduces(介绍) a way of learning English by _________.
A. listening B. speaking C. reading D. writing

Right is right. Right? Of course, but is left wrong? Well, the Romans once thought so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this idea. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “dexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy” (clever with hands). So, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinistra”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil”(邪恶的). Is it fair(公平的) to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such ideas. In old English, the word for left means “weak”, almost the same as “evil”.
Not very long ago, children were often forced(被迫) to write with their right hands. Doctors have found that this can be very bad. You should use the hand you were born to use.
People who use their left hands are starting to get better treatment(对待). Why did they get all these bad names? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. Different people are often thought to be wrong. However, attitudes(态度) seem to be changing. Fair-minded, right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.
49. The passage lets us believe that when one writes _________.
A. he can use his right hand only B. he can use his left hand only
C. he can use either his left hand or his right hand D. he shouldn't use his left hand
50. Once before, left-handed people were _________.
A. very popular B. very proud C. looked after D. laughed at
51. Left-handed people today are _________.
A. just as weak as left-handed people of the past B. thought to be very strange as before
C. being treated better than those in the past D. being taught to use their right hands
52. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Many languages have words that express the idea that left is bad.
B. All through the history, left-handed people have been treated poorly.
C. Left-handed people often got bad treatment and were laughed at in the past.
D. There are differences between left-handed people and right-handed people.
四、任务型阅读（共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分）
阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。
A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher.
These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked happily. Then their talk soon turned to the problems in work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups — china ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain (朴素的) looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Can you see that all of you took nice-looking and expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only the best for yourselves, and that is the source (根源) of your problems.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other’s cups.”
“Now think about this: life is the coffee, which is the most important, and the jobs, money and social position (社会位置) are the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, but enjoy the coffee instead.”

I think the Buddy Club is great. I really enjoy talking with the older students about school life and growing up. They can tell me a lot. One student told me how he relaxed himself before exams. Another student told me some great websites about learning History and English.
The Buddy Club is also a good place to just forget about school altogether! One of the older students taught us origami. We made paper planes, birds and hats together.
The table tennis match was a great idea. I didn’t do very well, but I learnt a lot from watching the doubles tournament won by a fourteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy.
Last year, we had the Buddy Club Picnic. Everyone enjoyed the games. I even caught two fish in the lake. I think it might be a better idea to take a weekend camping trip for the Buddy Club. We could learn how to put up tents and how to find our way through a forest. Many of the older students know how to do this already, and I think they would like to teach the younger students.
I want to say again how much I enjoy the club. When I’m older, I will make friends with younger students. Then, I can tell them all about school life and growing up.
43. What does the writer enjoy doing at the club?
A. Growing up. B. Talking with older students.
C. Playing table tennis. D. Suffering the Internet.
44. What does the underlined word “origami” mean?
A. The way of making paper planes. B. Drawing on a piece of paper.
C. The art of making things with paper. D. The way to forget about school.
45. How does the writer want to change the picnic?
A. He wants more fish to be caught. B. He wants to make it shorter.
C. He wants to have it in a tent. D. He wants to change it to a camping trip.
B
The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo — a logo that flies. It’s a new form of advertising in the sky that’s never been used before. It’s a different way to market(市场化) your products.
These funny logos are made with soap bubbles(肥皂泡) mixed with a little helium gas(氦气), which makes them lighter than air and float(漂浮) in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which asks for $2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.
Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last(持续) from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, decided by the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20,000 feet, they usually float around at 300-500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.
Flogos are green, 100% environmentally(环保地) safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.
46. Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?
A. Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky.
B. Because there is a little helium gas mixed with soap bubbles.
C. Because the machines used to make them are special and expensive.
D. Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves.
47. From the passage,we can infer that Flogos ________.
A. can fly for hours in the sky all day B. can have different colors at present
C. may be influenced by the weather D. may be the cheapest way of advertising
48. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Machines — Used for Flogos! B. Flogos — Logos That Fly!
C. Advertising — Made of Fruits! D. Clouds — like Mickey Mouse!
C

We brush our teeth every day but few people know how well we’re brushing. Today, a French company has introduced an electric(电动的) toothbrush, the Kolibree toothbrush, which can work wirelessly(无线地) with a smart phone. It has different models, and will cost from $99 to $200.
The Kolibree toothbrush can record(记录) ① the time you spent brushing teeth, ② whether(是否) all areas of your mouth are reached, ③ whether you brush up and down instead of just side to side. Then it will send the information to a mobile phone, telling you whether you have brushed in a correct way.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other apps on your phone, so developers could create(创造) a game. That would be very interesting.
The Kolibree toothbrush was invented(发明) by Thomas Serval, a father of two kids. He says his kids always answered “yes” when he asked if(是否) they had brushed their teeth.But Thomas often found their toothbrush heads dry. He decided that a kind of brush was needed to tell him how well they brushed their teeth.
Thomas says that one day, it’ll be possible to use a brushing unit with a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth when you brush.

Everything disappeared behind one longing一to get her daughter into her arms. And then, she was.

Finally Minka let go a little, pulling back to see that dear face again一a face as lined as her own. But Minka believed she knew those pale blue eyes. She looked into them, and then her daughter kissed her cheek. Minka managed to speak, her words ‘I love you' that had never been spoken.

Sitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much in front of it may takes years off your life. Watching less television may live a much longer life.
Australian researchers surveyed more than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Their study showed that if people watched TV for six hours a day, they lived about 4.8 years less than those who didn’t watch television. Also, people who are over the age of 25 loses 22minutes of life for each hour of TV that they watch.
Sitting in front of the television isn’t healthy. The more TV you watch, the less exercise you’ll get. And the less exercise you get, the more likely it is that you’ll get sick.
Lennert Veerman, the researcher who led that study, says watching too much TV will be bad for people’s life experiences, even for people who have a good diet. He thinks it’s reasonable for doctors to start asking their patients about how much TV they watch, as it can be an indicator of someone’s overall health.
Therefore, Veerman has called on people to turn off the TV and get off the sofa to get some exercise. “Exercise is good,” he said, “Even light activity is good for health.”
47. Australian researchers did a study on __________.
A. how much time people spend watching TV.
B. what people usually do to relax
C. how watching TV can affect people’s life experiences
D. what people should do to lengthen their lives
48. According to the study, if a 35-year-old man watches TV for two hours, he will lose _____of life.
A. 6 hours B. 4.8 years C. 22 minutes D. 44 minutes
49. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. How watching TV can affect people’s diets.
B. Why watching TV can be bad for our health.
C. Why people don’t exercise enough.
D. How long people should exercise to stay healthy.
50. According to Veerman, ________________.
A.the more TV we watch, the shorter life we will live
B. the more exercise we take, the healthier we will be
C. say no to TV
D. watching less TV and taking some exercise may help us live a longer life

四、阅读表达 根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（共5分，每题1分）
What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What other people reading? Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography（自传）about a president. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.
What do they choices say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.
Publishers（出版商）know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different types of covers. For example, books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown---ups.
So next time you are on a train, look around and see what other people are reading, but don’t jump to any conclusions. You will be wrong maybe.
Here is a sentence that you could say, “ Don’t judge （判断）a book by its cover”.
Title: Never judge a book people choose to read by the cover.
Persons

The man reading the biography wants ___52____ people to think he is very clever.

There are many things we need to know, but we do not learn them at school. For example, if we want to use money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare(比较)the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make sensible choices when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need the skill if we want to lead a useful and happy life.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I have an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I take a bus to school today or will I walk? Other choices are more important. For example, Will I work hard on all my classes or will I work hard only in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like these every day.
Making wrong choices can cause unhappiness. We have to realize(意识到)that the choices we make can influence the rest of our life. And our choices can also affect(影响)other people. If you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movie, consider this: who else does your choice affect？

It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't fall asleep. He still couldn't think of what he
wanted as a special Christmas present. He wanted to know how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs(楼下). It was Santa Claus, he thought. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.
By the time Bunny was on the ground floor, everything was still again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.

“And you were pulling Santa's sled(雪橇)?”
“I was until(直到) I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”
“Isn't it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, reindeer are famous for flying.”
“Not me, I'm afraid. It makes me afraid. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,”replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santa's sled, so when it was my turn I tried. I'm afraid I just wasn't cut out for the job. Now I'm stuck here and I don't know how to get back to the North Pole.”

Why would someone decide to stop eating？We know that the body needs food in order to work well. However,many people fast at some time during their lives. Why is this?
Some people fast for political (政治的) reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the United States didn't have the same right(权利) as men. So many women went on fast. They hoped that fasting would bring attention(注意力) to it. Mohandas Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17times during his life. For Gandhi, fasting was a powerful political tool. In 1943, he fasted to bring attention to his country's need for independence(独立). For 21 days, he went without food.Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez.In the 1960s,he fasted for three weeks. Why? He just wanted to bring attention to the terrible working conditions(条件) of farm workers in the United States.
Fasting is also a practice in many religions(宗教).Every year during the month of Ramadan, which is are religious holiday, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Many Indians fast at special time, and there was also a fasting holiday in ancient China.
Of course, not everyone fasts for political or religious reasons. People sometimes fast just because it makes them feel better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses.Whenever he had a cold or a fever, he stopped eating completely.He said that this always made his cold or fever go away.Another American writer,Upton Sinclair, found fasting after years of eating too much and headaches.His first fast lasted for 12 days. During this time, his headaches and stomachaches went away. Sinclair said that fasting also made him more alert(警觉的) and energetic.
Choosing to go without food can be very dangerous. However, that doesn't stop people from fasting for political, religious, or health reasons.
47.The underlined word “fast" in Paragraph 1 most probably means“_____________”
A.quickly B.eat healthily C. stop eating D. lose weight
48.Mohandas Gandhi fasted in 1943 for________________.
A. a religious holiday for Muslims
B. His country’s need for independence
C. The women’s rights in Great Britain
D. the same rights of the black people in America
49.Which fasting is for health reason?
A. Upton Sinclair fasted for 12 days. B.Mohandas Gandhi fasted in 1943.
C.Cesar Chavez fasted for two weeks. D. Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset.
50.What may be the best title of the passage?
