Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
What does 15-year-old Toni from Finland have in common with JS, an 8th grader from Pennsylvania, Nick, a senior from Washington, Aaron, 15, from New York and Joshua, 17, from North Carolina? If you guessed that each teen has been to the head teacher’s office about their use of the Internet, then you’re correct.
The creation of the Internet has resulted in new challenges for education. A school can control computer-related activities on campus. But, can its authority reach beyond school grounds? It’s important to know the limits before getting online, especially when it comes to expressing your feelings about a class or a teacher.
Toni was at a school party near Helsinki, Finland, in April 2007. He took a video of his teacher singing karaoke and posted it on You Tube. He named the teacher and wrote that it was crazy singing at a mental hospital. The teacher suffered anxiety and depression from the incident. Toni was fined more than $4,000.
Aaron used his parents’ computer to create an instant message picture. It was a hand-drawn gun pointed at a person’s head. Underneath the picture appeared the phrase “Kill Mr. VanderMolen”, Aaron’s English teacher. Aaron was prevented from going to school for five days. The court said the punishment was appropriate because it was disruptive(破坏性的) and presented a risk of harm.
Students have rights on and off campus, and must exercise them responsibly. Enjoy your freedom of speech and expression on the Internet. But understand that cyber-bullying(网络作恶) is an unlawful reality. Keep these cases in mind before you send e-mail or post something online.
65. From the second paragraph we can know that ______.
A. schools have the right to control students’ activities off campus
B. there is a border to your freedom of speech on the Net
C. students are free to do whatever they want to on the Net

Spinning (动感单车) was created by world-class cyclist Johnny Goldberg as a convenient and quick way to train for races. In 19, he and John Baudhuin opened the first spinning center in Santa Monica, California and then developed a program to train other spinning instructors. Curious to know about this spinning thing? The following information will help you decide if it’s for you:
Spinning is a kind of aerobic(有氧的) exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary (固定的) bicycle called a spinning bike. As you bike, music plays and the instructor talks to help you picture in your mind an outdoor cycling workout: “You’re going up a long hill now. You cannot see the top yet.” During the class you vary your pace—sometimes biking as fast as you can, other times biking slowly from a standing position. In this way you work on your mind as well as your body.
Spinning burns serious calories (about 450 in 45 minutes) and makes your heart pump fast. It also strengthens your front thigh and outer thigh muscles. Because you stay in one place with the same basic movement throughout, spinning doesn’t involve a lot of coordination(协调); it’s easier to concentrate on your form than in other types of aerobic classes. And although you follow the general instructions of the spinning teacher, you are in control when it comes to your pace. You can finish a spin class, regardless of your fitness level, simply by adjusting your pace.
Just as every coin has two sides, spinning has its disadvantages. It doesn’t work all leg muscles equally, so if you spin without doing some cross-training activities, you may develop muscle imbalances. Spinning every day can also be too much of a good thing—real spin enthusiasts have to watch out for injuries caused by overuse in their knees and lower backs.
72. What was Johnny’s purpose when he created spinning?
A. To strengthen people’s muscles.
B. To improve people’s fitness level.
C. To prepare people for sports competitions.
D. To train spinning instructors.
73. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. what spinning is
B. what a spinning bike is
C. how spinning helps
D. how spinning instructors help
74. According to the text, spinning can help ______.
A. exercise your mind B. strengthen your upper muscles
C. coordinate different parts of the body D. learn to adjust to different speeds
75. What does the underlined word “cross-training” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Training relating to hands.
B. Training relating to feet.
C. Training that helps recover from injuries.
D. Training in different ways.
(D)
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply techniques of reading.
76. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “ same ” newspaper is that ______.
A. people scan for the news they are interested in
B. different people prefer different newspapers
C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is
77. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ______.
A. apply reading techniques skillfully B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper D. usually read a newspaper selectively
78. A good newspaper offers “ a variety “ to readers because ______.
A. it tries to serve different readers
B. it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C. readers are difficult to please
D. readers like to read different newspapers
79. The best title for this passage would be ______.
A. The Importance of Newspaper Topicality
B. The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
C. The Variety of a Good Newspaper
D. Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Comparison between King Kong and Buddy
B. Three large models used to shoot King Kong
C. Models and technology making movies more realistic
D. special effects applied in King Kong
E. Animatronics used in Buddy
F. The inside structure of the Buddy
80.
In the 1930s, a special effects pioneer, Willis O’Brien, made film history with the movie King Kong. O’Brien studied the movements of gorillas in zoos to develop small skeletons of a giant ape. He designed 18-inch frames and padded them with foam rubber and cotton. Then he covered them with rabbit fur. O’Brien filmed the model using a stop-action camera, which would position the model, take a picture with the camera, then move the model slightly and take another picture. It took hundreds of shots to make the model move for thirty seconds on the screen.
81.
Three large models were used. One was a giant gorilla arm and hand used to hold a frightened actress. Another was a gorilla foot that could descend upon the streets of New York. Finally there was a life-seized model of King Kong built of wood, wire, cloth, and metal. It was covered with bearskins. King Kong may not look very realistic to audiences today, but the film terrified people in 1933.
82.
One “special effect” method is animatronics, the art of bringing creatures to life by using electronics and remote control. In the 1997 movie Buddy, animatronics put another gorilla in a starring role. Artists used puppets and special gadgets to build life-sized model of a gorilla in four stages of life. They also built a gorilla head for human actor to wear. The fake skin and teeth make the head look very realistic.
83.
Inside Buddy were control system made of rods and cables. These were run by a computer to create Buddy’s arm, leg and facial movements. Eyebrows could twitch to show emotions. An air tube would puff to inflate and deflate Buddy’s cheeks so that the gorilla seemed to breathe. Buddy’s movements were far more realistic than King Kong’s.
84.
Thanks to models and technology, animals can appear on screen today with no need for animal handlers or retakes and with no risk of injuring the animal. Aliens, dinosaurs, and monsters can co-star with humans—and each other! When an audience accepts a creature as real, whether it’s terrifying or comical, “special effects” have done their job.
