If you have young children in your life, especially kids in those teen years between ages 8 and 12, you most likely know all about the Disney movie High School Musical. The popularity of this made-for-the Disney-Channel movie has led to a concert tour, touring stage musical production, plans for follow-up movies, and a large number of products. With the momentum(动力) still building for this uplifting story, a High School Musical theme party is sure to be a winner for the teens in your life.

Decorate your party room with High School Musical posters .

Books don’t grow on trees
A local community college professor decided to fight back.
“The price of books for our students is just getting higher and
higher and, combined with the rising cost of tuition, it’s killing these
kids,” said Peter Jason, Ph.D. “Remember, students are one of the poorest groups of people in America. Almost half of them have at least one part-time job. In fact, one of my students has three jobs. She is a part-time sales clerk at a clothing store three days a week, then works three evenings a week as a pizza cook, and on weekends she does manicures(修指甲) at a beauty salon. And she still manages to have a high GPA （grade point average）and go to school full-time.”
Textbook prices are traditionally high. Adding to that problem, many college instructors change textbooks year after year; they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook. This further hurts students because if an instructor no longer uses a particular textbook, that book has no resale value.
Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking. “Many books have an increased price because of bells and whistles: CD-ROMs, lots of color photographs, and lots of graphics. I talked to my students, and many of them, like me, prefer to keep things simple. So, during a sabbatical a few years ago, I wrote my own textbook. I made sure that it wasn’t long-winded. I called it Successful Public Speaking: How To Be Brief, Concise, and to the Point.
“Compared to most other public speaking books, mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the price. That is, $30 instead of $90. Plus, it is published in a three-ring binder format. So, when I wrote a second edition last year, students only had to buy the 35 new pages and delete 35 of the original pages. For only $7.00, they had upgraded to the new edition. I’ve had great feedback from my students about this loose-leaf concept. Maybe the word will get out, and more writers and publishers will try it.”
60．More money is spent on textbooks because .
A．publishers pay more to the writers
B．students need textbooks with pictures
C．textbook prices are traditionally high
D．textbooks may be changed every year
61．Dr. Jason wrote his own textbook to .
A．make it short B．increase its price
C．make it easy to update D．add CD-ROMs and photos
62．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．a college professor objects to writing textbooks
B．instructors don’t use particular textbooks any longer
C．more writers and publishers will write shorter textbooks
D．the loose-leaf concept is well received among the students
C
Peaceful Use of Space Resources Drives China’s Space Program
China’s successful launch of its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.
It is widely believed home and abroad that the latest progress made by China will surely improve national unity and make the country’s 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.
However, some people in and outside China describe China’s manned space program as a fame project which brings in little economic benefit.
They argue that billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.
Space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.
Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is enough for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.
China has benefited from its investment in space sector. Space technology has become an essential part of people’s daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources searching.
Striving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.
Information obtained from Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in Earth observation has been used for marine pollution control and desertification control projects, which is useful for China and other parts of the world.
China has listed space technology and information technology among the country’s seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in 1986.

B. The successful launch proves that our space technology is advanced in the world.
C. Though the launch is successful, it benefits little in terms of economy.
D. It’s necessary to explore resources in space.
64. Some people think China’s manned space program brings in little economic benefit as they think about the following EXCEPT .
A. there are many poor areas in China lacking supports
B. many children can’t go to school because of poverty
C. it will delay the progress of economy
D. it costs too much on the space program
65. Which supports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Resources are shrinking all over the world
B. There are enough useful resources in space for human use
C. The mankind is worrying about less and less oil resource
D. All above
66. What can we learn from this Passage?
A. Up till now, only three nations can send satellites into space

D. Space technology has nothing to do with agricultural development in China

Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.
The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.
The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.
Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”
67. The passage is especially intended for _________.
A. parents with young daughters
B. girls who like reading fairy stories
C. girls who think they can change their partners
D. parents with grown-up daughters
68. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.
A. they all married some princes
B. they all changed their partners with love
C. they were all abused by their partners
D. they all put up with abuse
69. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?
A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.
B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.
C. They have also experienced abuse.
D. They survived abuse.
70 What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A. kind-hearted B. obedient C. gentle D. easy-going
71 With the last sentence of the passage, Ms. Darker Smith intends to __________.
A. give a warning B. make a conclusion
C. make a suggestion D. raise a question

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外表的，外部的) result or product that can easily be realized and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their carefulness or courage, as they met with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new difficulties to overcome.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “ fail’ at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is basic to our ability to grow. Do we notice ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and uncertain? Then our sense of timidity(胆怯的) can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we’re slow to adapt to changes or that we’re not clever enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of unsafety and self- doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growth. We become hidden inside a shell of our own making.
72. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when ___________.
A. he has given up his smoking habit
B. he has made great efforts in his work
C. he is fond of learning anything new
D. he has tried to determine where he is on journey
73.In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would __________.
A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B. face difficulties and take up challenges
C. aim high and reach his aim each time
D. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
74.When the author says “a new way of being” (paragraph3) he is referring to __________.
A.a new way of taking risks B.a new system of adapting to changes
C.a new method of noticing ourselves D.a new way of experiencing the world
75. For personal growth, the author wouldn’t agree that one should ___________
A. be curious about more changes
B. avoid internal fears and doubts
C. adapt oneself to new conditions quickly
D. be open-minded to new experiences

第二节 开放作文（15分）one possible version:
In the picture, a boy is trying hard to push forward the hour hand of the clock while an old man is making a great effort to push backward the minute hand of the same clock. Both of them are trying their best, but in the opposite directions.
The picture shows different attitudes of the old and the young towards time. The old wish that time could slow down, because for them, time is life. Thy know well how important time is. As time flies, their life will gradually come to an end. On the other hand, the young want time to speed up just because they are eager to grow up soon. They haven’t realized the importance of time as the old do.
However, time treats everyone equally. It can go neither faster nor more slowly. And just as the saying goes, “Time and tides wait for no men.”Therefore, as young people, we should make the best of our present time to fulfill our dreams or we will regret it in the future.
