A novel can be on the best sellers list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make a

7、nything or anyone well-known overnight. This is the principle behind quiz or game shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For

8、 instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Dor

9、en was cheating. It turned out that the show“s producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn“t like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title Quiz Show i

10、s on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren“t taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married co

11、uples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.（分数：7.00）(1).TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.Wr

A hurricane

15、 (飓风) is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral(螺旋) around a relative calm center know as the “eye“. The “eye“ is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land,

16、 it can bring heavy rains, high winds, and storm surges(风暴潮). The storm surges and heavy rains can lead to flooding. 2. Hurricanes are given a different label, depending on where they occur. If they begin over the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gull“ of Mexico, or the Northeast Pacific

17、 Ocean, they are called hurricanes. Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line are called typhoons. Near Australia and in the Indian Ocean, they are referred to as tropical cyclones (龙卷风). 3. When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through

18、 its fierce winds, heavy rains, inland (内陆的) flooding, and huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane, homes, businesses, and public buildings may be damaged or destroyed; roads and bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any

19、other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning. 4. If a hurricane is coming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm and find shelter i

20、mmediately. Go to your safe room. If you do not have one, stay indoors during the hurricane and go to a safer place near the center of your home.

24、htGirls as young as l0 years old are dieting and in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes about weight, body image and food, a group of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday. Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the vast majority had healthy weights, nearly a third felt they

25、were overweight and were trying to lose pounds. Even at the tender age of 10, nearly 32 percent of girls felt “ too fat“ and 31 percent said they were trying to diet. McVey, a researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and her colleagues analyzed data collected in a number of surveys o

26、f southern Ontario school girls between 1993 and 2003, reporting their findings in Tuesday“s issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Nearly 80 percent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7.2 percent were considered overweight using standard weight-to-height ratios. Most resear

27、chers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure. Nearly 30 percent of the girls reported they were currently trying to lose weight, though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as self-induced vomiting. Still, a test that measured attitudes to

28、wards eating showed 10.5 percent of survey participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder. “We“re not talking about kids who“ve been prescribed a diet because they“re above average weight or overweight. We“re talking about children who are within a healthy weight range. And they

29、have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight,“ McVey said, acknowledging she found the rates disturbing. She said striking a balance between healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a complex task, with no easy solutions.（分数：15.00）(1).The study showed that most of

30、 the girls _.（分数：3.00）A.were overweightB.were on a dietC.had unhealthy attitudes about weightD.had a healthy body weight(2).What percentage of the girls considered themselves overweight?（分数：3.00）A.Nearly 80 percent.B.7.2 percent.C.Nearly 30 percent.D.10.5 percent.(3).The survey participants were gir

These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment

33、with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home, and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors. Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce thes

34、e kinds of risky behaviors among youths. One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods. After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-sch

35、ool time. In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours, after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relationships with adults. Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults, as well as good use of time, are very importan

36、t for healthy development in youth. After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends“ houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home. The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities, including “drop-in“ programs that are pro

37、vided by organizations. Despite the benefits of after-school programs, there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive, of poor quality, or hard to join. Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.

38、Parents may feel uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the traditional child care years. However, research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the followi

39、ng is a benefit of after-school programs?（分数：3.00）A.They help to avoid crime and violence during that time.B.They help youths do things on their own during after-school hours.C.They help teens develop caring relationships with classmates.D.They help to reduce risky behaviors among youths.(2).Why do

40、many parents refuse to use after-school programs?（分数：3.00）A.The programs are just like child care programs.B.The programs offer no freedom to their children.C.The programs bring little benefit to parents and children.D.The programs can be expensive or poor in quality.(3).What can we infer from the p

41、assage?（分数：3.00）A.Teenagers tend to stay at their friends“ houses for a long time.B.Relationships with adults may cause unhealthy development in youths.C.The after-school programs can be used for many different kids.D.Teenagers do not like the after-school programs.(4).Which of the following is NOT

43、rams are effective in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.(5).Which of the following is the best title for this passage?（分数：3.00）A.Youth CrimesB.After-school ProgramsC.Problem ChildrenD.Extracurricular Activities七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)How to Be a Successful Businessperso

44、nHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Here“s a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants. Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplan

45、e pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane. At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars. While M

46、r. Kazi was working at the car rental (租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cook“s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didn“t like it,“ Mr. Kazi says, “but I a

47、lways did the best I could.“ One day, Mr. Kazi“s two co-workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to M

48、r. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit. A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside and food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant. For the first six mont

49、hs, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit. A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the emplo
