Possibly，”admitted Harvard's Doctor Searles.“But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages — the ability to share knowledge — to a degree higher than ever before.”36．According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are________．A．Google's economists B．Chinese and IndiansC．the educated persons D．world leading experts37．People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to________．A．the development of communication skillsB．the suggestions made by computer expertsC．the prediction made by the home computersD．the data recorded by the computers worn on body38．The underlined word “this”in Paragraph 6 refers to________．A．the visible activities mentioned aboveB．the way we thought they ought to behaveC．the way people really behave in lifeD．the rule people ought to obey in life39．Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph?A．Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.B．Development of the Internet and human beings.C．Knowledge and civilization of human beings.D．Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.BIt's been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it's hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference.The theme of SuccessforTeens is “Little Things Matter.”The book helps teens identify small, positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don't realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects. Often they are focused on the bigger events, such as a major exam, the big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.Nineteen­year­old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.40．We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________．A．dealing with big events is most important in one's lifeB．little choices seldom have lasting effects on one's lifeC．teens should try to focus their attention on big choicesD．many teens fail to realize the importance of little choices41．Which of the following words can be used to describe Kyle Freas?A．Kind­hearted. B．Creative.C．Naughty. D．Self­confident.42．The author mainly discusses the relationship between ________.A．little choices and big choicesB．teens' goals and their actionsC．positive and negative decisionsD．small positive choices and success43．The text is most probably written for ________．A．teenagers B．parentsC．pupils D．teachersCWant to improve your math skills without working hard? Simply zap (击打) the brain with a weak current of electricity and then, all your problems will be solved! At least that's the claim being made by a team of British scientists from London's Oxford University.The main aim of the experiment, conducted on a group of student volunteers from Oxford University and University College London, was to test if parts of the brain could be shocked into getting it to work better with numbers.To test this, 15 students, divided into three groups, were asked to solve the same two mathematical problems every day for a week. The problems, which involved identifying the larger of two numbers and plotting one on a number line, were made a little more challenging by replacing the numbers 1-9 with symbols.However, before starting the test, two of the groups were subjected to a 20­minute session of a light electric current to the parietal lobe, which the scientists believe is the brain's number cruncher (能迅速运算者). For the first group the current flow was passed right to left, while for the second it was transmitted left to right. The third group received no help at all.The group that got zapped right to left seemed to show an amazing improvement in their math skills. However, the ones that got zapped left to right were reduced to the level of almost six­year olds! The results forthe people who got no help were somewhere in between.While scientists are not sure why the direction of the current would make such a difference, they believe that zapping it from the right side, seemed to turn up the activity of the brain cells to math, while going the other way turned or closed them down. Luckily, the impact is expected to last for only six months!While this is great news, do not fire your math tutor yet. That's because the research, no matter how successful, is not being done to aid lazy students, but to help people who suffer from dyscalculia (计算障碍), a disease which makes people unable to cope with simple day-to-day numerical issues, like counting change or figuring out their expenses.44．In which time order was the experiment carried out?a．Divide the students into groups.b．Test the students with problems.c．Give some students some electric zapping.A．a，b，c B．a，c，bC．b，a，c D．c，a，b45．From the passage, we can infer that ________．A．the direction of zapping the brain is very importantB．the impact of zapping the brain will last foreverC．scientists don't know how to zap the brain correctlyD．people with dyscalculia can't recognize numbers46．What is the aim of the experiment?A．To help students to improve their math grades.B．To test which part of the brain controls calculation.C．To help people who suffer from a certain disability.D．To study whether a light electric current will damage students' brain.47．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Dyscalculia is no longer a problemB．A good way to improve your math skillsC．Benefit from zapping the brainD．Improve math skills by zapping the brainDSome researchers believe that the mobile phone makes youngsters less thoughtful and makes it easier for them to make mistakes in life. Hitting a few keys and then seeing the desired word appear in full trains children to be fast but inaccurate when they do other things, according to scientists. They warn that this could have a negative impact on a whole generation.ChildWise, a market research firm specializing in children's products, found that one in four under­eights had a mobile. The total of 4.5 million youngsters with mobiles included 58 percent of 9 to 10­year­olds, 89 percent of 11 to 12­year­olds, 93 percent of 13 to 14­year­olds and 95 percent of 15 to 16-year-olds.Experts are also concerned about the possible impact of mobile phone radiation on developing brains. But Michael Abramson, a professor at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, says the amount of radiation transmitted during text messaging is a mere 0.03 percent of that transmitted during voice calls —suggesting radiation is not to blame for the brain effects.In a recent study, Prof Abramson analyzed the mobile phone use of children aged between 11 and 14 and their ability to carry out a number of computer tests. He found that increased mobile phone use appears to change the way their brains work. He said, “The kids who used their phones a lot were faster on some of the tests, but were less accurate. We suppose that using mobile phones a lot, particularly tools like predictive texts for SMS, is training them to be fast but inaccurate. The use of mobile phones is changing the way children learn and pushing them to become more impulsive in the way they behave without thinking things through.”The findings follow other research that suggested that text messaging encourages children's language skills and does not damage the ability to spell.48．It can be concluded from the ChildWise's research that ________.A．the older the child is, the greater chance he has a mobile phoneB．children under eight are too young to use mobile phonesC．children aged between 11－14 were not involved in the researchD．4.5 million people have a mobile phone in Australia49．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Prof Abramson thinks mobile phones have little effect on children.B．There's less radiation transmitted during text messaging than during voice calls.C．Text messaging trains children to be fast and accurate.D．Text messaging may damage children's ability to spell.50．What does the underlined word “impulsive”in the fourth paragraph mean?A．Encouraging someone to do something.B．Forcing someone to accept a way of life.C．Doing things without considering the effects they may have.D．Doing things with careful planning and consideration.Ⅳ.任务型阅读(满分10分)Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include：physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others.What should we do so that our communication will be effective？Here are my suggestions.Firstly, you should be yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They're the same whether they're having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.Secondly, whether you're talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don't break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced.You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can't learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don't immediately start throwing your opinions.Stop for a second.Absorb what's going on.What's the mood of the others？Are they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense what's happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy. How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting —yours and the others'. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty.The audience may disagree with you, but they can't question your belief.Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself.Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concent rated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you need to be more relaxed.阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
