22、 signalJ. foolIts late at night. Youve taken a shower and brushed your teeth. But its not yet time for bed not until youve checked your micro blog or watched some funny videos on Youku.For many of us, a little time with our smartphones or iPads before sleep is the 41 of the night. But would you stil

23、l think it is 42 if you knew that it spoils your sleep? Scientists say thats exactly what it does.In ancient times, when there were no lamps, televisions or smartphones, the sun was the main source of light. When the sun went down, our brains took that as a 43 to start producing melatonin, a chemica

Any light in your bedroom could 46 the process, not to mention something as bright as smartphone and iPad screens.While all lights are the enemy of sleep, not all colors of light have the same effect.

27、 word or phrase that best fits the context.The concept of being completely alone in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the word of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be 50 . Solitude (独处) can be hard to discover once it has been gi

28、ven up. In this respect, new technologies have 51 our culture.The desire to be connected has brought solitude to the 52 as weve known it. People have become so 53 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted even if theyd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, ch

29、at and blog, not only from our 54 , but from our mobile phones as well.Most developed nations have become 55 on digital technology simply because theyve gotten used to it, and at this point not using it would make them an outsider. 56 , many jobs and careers require people to be 57 . From this point

30、 of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a 58 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times. I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 59 wants it. Computers can be shut down and mobile phones can be

31、 turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many 60 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 61 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives.

42、amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media compa

43、nies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the

44、television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain

45、sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases fo

46、r television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This

47、is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income

48、 consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.68.

49、ision.C. gets more viewers to play sports D. brings more money to the television networks69. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. There would be few viewers. B.

51、 companies.C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D. Commercial advertisers are the major supporters of sport event.(C)Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events ha

52、ppen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this i

53、s the case, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most viole

54、nt incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isnt in the sandwich,

55、 but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down, as rude words, name-call

56、ing, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allow

57、s the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to

58、 consider what they are hearing. Quarrels dont mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks t

59、he other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure

60、 out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the clas

61、sroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life

62、skill that should be taught in schools across the country.72. This article is mainly about _. A. the lives of school children B. the cause of arguments in schools C. how to analyze youth violence D. how to deal with school conflicts73. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in P

63、aragraph 5? A. To find out who is to blame. B. To get ready to try new things. C. To make clear what the real issue is. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.74. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that _. A. there was a decrease in classroom violence

64、B. there was less student cooperation in the classroom C. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved75. The writers purpose for writing this article is to _. A. complain about problems in school education B. teach students different stra

65、tegies for school life C. recommend teaching conflict management in schools D. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceSection BDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.What does a dog say? “Wang wang,”

66、right? Not if youre in America. There, a dog says “woof woof” or “bow wow.” The amusing fact is that dogs, and other animals, “speak” different languages in different countries. Well, actually, animals dont speak any languages at all. But they do make plenty of grunts, growls and other sounds. And t

67、he way humans express these sounds depends on what language they speak. In German, a dog says “wuff wuff” and “wau wau,” in Russian, it says “gav-gav.” A French dog says “ouah ouah.”Some such differences relate to culture. For example, in Chinese culture, small dog breeds are common. In America, how

68、ever, larger breeds have always been popular. Small dogs make sounds with a high pitch. Large dogs make sounds with a lower pitch. You can hear this difference in pitch when you say “wang wang” and “woof woof.” Another reason for differences has to do with the languages themselves. For example, Chin

69、ese words never end with an “f” sound. So naturally, Chinese speakers wouldnt use the sound “woof woof” for a barking dog.Catherine Ball, an American linguist, has been collecting animal sounds for years. She invites people from around the world to send her the animal “words” they use. She check on

70、the words she receives. Then she posts them on her web site, Sounds of the worlds Animals. The site features the sounds of nearly 40 different animals, in nearly 40 different languages. And Ball is adding more animals and languages all the time. If youd like to know what a rooster “says” in Italian,

71、 this is the place to find out. (Its “chicchirichi.”)Animals make the same sounds no matter language people speak. So its interesting how different the human representations of sounds can be. For example, geese say “ga-ga-ga” in Russian, but “blaas” in Afrikaans. Albanian pigs say “hunk hunk;” Korea

72、n pigs say “kkool-kkool.” On the other hand, some sounds are almost the same, even in very different languages. Turkish turkeys say “glu glu.” Portuguese turkeys say “gluglugluglu.”Nobody should think this is useless information. What could be a better conversation-starter than the question, “Do you

73、 know what a pig says in Albanian?”(Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)(76至78题的答案请填写在答题纸的相应处)76.
