They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, inparticular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.31. What is true about children when they play games?A. They can stop playing any time they like.B. They can test their personal abilities.C. They want to pick a better team.D. They don’t need rules.32.

Because he can be someone other than himself.B. Because he can become popular among friends.C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.35. The writer believes that .A. children should make better rules for their games.B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.C. children’s games can do them a lot of goodD. children play games without reasonsPassage 2How many coins have you got in your pocket right now?

It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated (耕种) and the good land worked intensively (精耕细作地). Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand.One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw material. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex (复杂的). A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods (制成品). When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grows weaker. Faced with concerns such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.41. The main topic of this article is ______.A. environment protectionB. population growthC. environment and economyD. climate changing42.

As you take the platform to speak, listeners can observe your physical features and infer your sex, general age range, racial background, height, weight, and body type. Sometimes audiences respond to personal appearance in a fixed manner. As a result they may discount messages given by speakers who are very much younger than themselves. Other audiences similarly pay less attention to the speeches of women or of people from other cultural groups.Many people have one or more physical features or conditions that make them reluctant to speak publicly. These include crooked（歪斜的）teeth, visible birthmarks, above-average or below-average weight or height, poor eyesight, or the use of wheelchairs. Although it is true that people do see your features, it is generally not true that they spend the entire speech focusing on them. If you worry about your appearance, one of your best strategies is to have an interesting topic and a good opening statement that will draw people’s attention to your subject rather than to your looks.Regardless of your looks, you can pay special attention to your appearance such as dressing neatly, keeping your hair tidy, etc. Neatness and cleanliness are sometimes as significant as natural beauty; in fact, a common proverb, “Cleanliness is next to godliness” gives a very good example of this. Further, as we will see, social attractiveness is enhanced by other nonverbal variables such as smiling and gesturing appropriately. Moreover, physical characteristics are not the only thing your listeners see. The clothing and accessories（妇女全套衣饰中的小件）you choose are part of your total presentation of yourself.46.

Social attractiveness can be improved by .A. your humorous way of talkingB. good manners and dressing neatlyC. a good opening statementD. choosing a good topic50. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The audience won’t concentrate on your features throughout your speech.B. Natural beauty is necessary for a public speaker.C. Age and sex can decide whether your speech will be a successful one.D. The audience can foresee what you’ll say from your racial background.III. ClozeMost parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 51 how difficult it is to write a 52 children's book. Either the author has aimed too 53 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 54 the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best children's books are 55 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 56 who hears the story and the adult who 57 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 58 books like this, 59 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 60 to solve.This may be why many of books regarded as 61 of children's literature were in fact written for 62 . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 63 of this.Children, left for themselves, often 64 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 65 and he will 66 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 67 of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children to 68 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 69 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 70 books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.51.
