2 . Lily, Emily, James and David are talking about computer games. Choose from the four views on computer games (A, B, C and D) and match with the four opinions.
    1     Lily: Computer games have influenced the students’ reading achievements.
    2     Emily: Even play-for-free computer games may cost a lot of money.
    3     James: Some computer gamers may buy games illegally (非法地).
    4     David: The nature of games could benefit society.

A Some students are just crazy about computer games. People have to accept the fact that these machines are having a terrible effect on students’ reading ability. Students are no longer interested in reading these days. Instead, they just stare at the computer screen, pushing those buttons. They don’t have to use their brains or their memory. Obviously, these machines are the cause of so much underachievement in today’s society.

B Game developers worry about how to prevent people copying the games illegally. Some companies have been trying to make sure that everyone who plays the game is a legal user. For example, you might have to have an internet connection to play. This is a problem for some people if their internet connection isn’t reliable. So they would rather buy pirated versions (盗版) which don’t have these limits.

C I realize that a lot of these play-for-free games are designed to make money. You play for free, but once you’ve devoted time and effort to your game, you start paying real money to progress further into the game. With people spending lots of money on virtual (虚拟的) items, I can see why governments might want to make rules for games like these.

D A lot of games are attractive because the virtual world is fairer than the real world. Your success isn’t determined by your age, social position or education. Besides, the sense of being together in the gaming world is really strong. Therefore, people should stop blaming these games and start thinking about how we can bring the good things of gaming into our real lives.

3 . Choose one subheading in the box to fill in the blanks.

A. What is funny?                   B. What is laughter?                             C. Reasons for laughter. D. Kids love laughing most.     E. When do people laugh?       F. Who laughs most?

Everyone loves laughing!

    1    Laughter is natural for people. We start to laugh at about four months of age. We start to laugh even before we start to speak!

Laughter is social. It connects us with other people. We laugh more when we are with other people. Studies find that we are 30 times more likely to laugh with others than when we are alone. When one person laughs, other people begin to laugh, too.

It is difficult to pretend. Laughter is honest. Try to laugh right now. It’s difficult, isn’t it? When people pretend to laugh, most people know it’s not real. Studies show that people don’t like the sound of fake (虚假的) laughter.

    2    Only 10 to 20 percent of laughter is about something funny. Most laughter is about being friendly with other people. Most laughter says “I don’t want to compete with you. I like to be with you.” This kind of laughter brings people together.

We often laugh when we feel nervous. At the beginning of the meeting, someone often tells a joke. It’s usually a small joke, but we laugh a lot. Our laughter helps us relax.

    3    Some things are funny because we don’t expect them. When a joke begins, we already have an idea about the end. We think we know the end, but then the joke ends in a different way. The end of the joke surprises us. It makes us laugh.

Silly things are sometimes funny. We laugh at jokes about people and their mistakes because we know something they don’t know. We think we are better than they are.

    4    Not everyone has the same sense of humor. Some people think a joke is funny, but other people don’t think so. People have different idea about what is funny. For young children, the world is new. Many things surprise them, so they laugh a lot. Teenagers often worry about what others think of them. They laugh to protect themselves. Teenagers laugh when they feel embarrassed. Adults laugh at things that give them stress. Our reasons for laughter change over time.

4 . Unlike a single advertisement, an ad campaign is a planned programme of advertisements using various kinds of ads to reach a certain audience. When you start a successful ad campaign, you must have a clear aim and an audience in mind.

You will need to explore what the audience already thinks. It is very important to know your audience so you can create the right message for the right people.

    2    

After you have decided who you audience is, it is time to decide what you want the audience to know or think about. It is important to always try to appeal to the audience in order to get them to react in a certain way. You can gather this information from your research.

    3    

There are lots of different ways to get your message across when you are putting together an ad campaign. You must decide what approach you want to use. This decision should depend mainly on your target audience and which kinds of ads reach that group best.

A. How do you reach your audience?
B. How do you build an ad campaign?
C. What do you want your ad campaign to say?
D. Who is the audience for your ad campaign?

5 . Here is a page from a magazine called Future. Read the following information about things that may happen in twenty years.

    1    

Cars will run on solar power and will be much cleaner and safer. For example, if you are too close to another car or if you are driving dangerously, your car will slow down or stop by itself. It not only prevents the pollution of the environment but also decreases the rate road killers.

    2    

New cities will have to be built in the sea. Some cities on water will have two levels (层). People will live on the upper level; the lower level will be used for traffic, shops and factories, which will be a better way of solving the problem of increasing population and cities.

    3    

Biotechnology (生物技术) will make everything we eat better and healthier. Plants without insects or illnesses (病虫害) will be developed. The taste of fruit and vegetables will be better and food will be kept longer. At that time, people will have no need to worry about whether their diet is safe or not, because these foods have been tested again and again. They surely are safe.

Ways of curing illness

Many new ways to cure illnesses will be found. People will use products of genetic engineering (基因产品) to cure more illnesses. However, some new illnesses will appear.

A. New energy used on transportation
B. Green food
C. Ways of keeping healthy
D. Future living conditions

6 . 下面文章中有3处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Whether you are a new student or you've had a fight in the past with your teachers, you can build a good relationship with them. Here are some tips for you.

    1     Every day, they have to work with dozens and sometimes even hundreds of different students, many of whom have bad attitudes. Greeting your teacher with a smile and warm remark every morning is a great way to sow seeds of positivity in your relationship and to improve their day. Smile and say “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” to your teacher.

Follow instructions. Your teacher likely has a set of rules that you must obey in class Be sure to make a note of these rules and to keep them without question. If your teacher fees that you keep yourself out of trouble, they will view you more positively and your relationship will strengthen.

    2     One of teachers’ biggest worries is students who talk during class when they are trying to teach. It is disruptive and rude and is a bad habit that should be avoided at all costs. Anything you need to say to a friend can be said after class or during a break. Should you have a question about the lecture or classwork, raise your hand and ask your teacher instead of asking a friend.

    3     Never arrive after the bell rings, and always be in your seat once class is about to begin. This will allow your teacher to see you as a dependable and reliable person who is respectful of their time.

A. Sit straight in class.
B. Greet your teacher with a smile.
C. Come to class on time.
D. Don’t talk in class.
