9、y hard to find and people had to trade things with each other. One day I was 16 some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily 17 a full basket of freshly picked green peas.

17、vailable on the Internet which offers you the chance to compare two different items and see how many hits they get on the Google search engine. The seemingly simple device has proved invaluable to users, especially to help win arguments. For example, imagine that you and your friends are arguing abo

18、ut who are the most popular music or movie stars, you can decide the argument by writing the names in the Googlefight boxes. Lets say that you are arguing about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. You will quickly discover that Jet Li is mentioned 16 million times on Google pages, whereas Jackie Chan is mention

19、ed a mere 12 million times! In this unscientific way, you can claim victory for one Star over another.But teachers have come up with ways of using Googlefight which are much more useful from an academic point of view, particularly when it comes to studying languages. You can, for example, find out t

20、he frequency of two words with the same meaning, and deduce (推断) from the answers which one is more common. For example, lets take the words “buy” and “purchase”, which mean the same thing (although “buy” is only a verb and “purchase” is both a verb and a noun). It is immediately clear from Googlefi

21、ght that “buy” is much more commonly used, with a massive three and a half billion hits, compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.But the real value of Googlefight to the language learner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases. For example, “raining cats a

22、nd dogs” is an old-fashioned English expression about the weather. Do English speakers still use it? Or are they more likely to say “pouring down”? Googlefight suggests the latter. “Pouring down” has 898,000 Google hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.With phrases, its important to

23、 remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. For example, if you type in the similar phrases “look after” and “take care of “ without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed.36. What is Googlefight?A. A figh

24、t between two people on Google.B. A way to make sure you win an argument.C. A website showing how many hits two different things have.D. A list of all the websites on Google.37. Language teachers find it useful because _.A. there are a lot of words on GooglefightB. it can tell them which of the two

25、words with the same meaning appears more oftenC. some words mean the same thingD. common words have a billion hits38. What must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by Googlefight?A. Make sure they mean be same thing.B. Make sure they are different.C. Remember to put quote marks round the

26、phrase.D. Dont put quote marks round the phrase.39. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.B. Googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.C. Quote marks can make the search more accurate.D. Googlefight is

27、 invaluable to help win arguments.B.A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are parti

28、cularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the

29、teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. The teenagers expected t

30、o be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10.000. Average debts for graduates are 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. The more exposed young peo

31、ple are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of

32、student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.40. Which of the following can be

33、 found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students payback ability has become a major issue.41. The phrase to raise the ceiling

34、in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. to raise the student loans B. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuition D. to lift the school building roofs42. According to Stephen Moir, students _.A. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesB. should learn to manage the

35、ir finances wellC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans D. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance43. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a

36、required course at college. D. Young people should become responsible adults.C.Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubledto $1.01 per packsmokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across

37、 the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. Theyve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wond

38、er is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, the deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan,

39、for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S. C. , where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in

40、the latest surveys 13. 8%, far below the national average. By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden

41、of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”Thats true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for todays adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cu

42、t their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better. 44. The text is mainly about_.A. the price of cigarettesB. the rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD. the differences in tobacco tax rate45The underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_.A. discourage B. r

43、emoveC. benefit D. free46. Rogers attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of_.A. tolerance B. unconcernC. doubt D. sympathy47. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.C. Future gener

44、ations will be hooked on smoking.D. Adults will depend more on their families.D.“Get your hands off me , I have been stolen，” the laptop，a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The pr

45、ogram allows users to display alerts on the missing computer s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their l

46、aptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter h

47、ow many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying，You are being tracked. I am right at your door ，” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message.For example, the laptop s speakers

48、 will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”The Retriever software package, which costs $ 29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear t

49、hat the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offic

50、es, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.48The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” can be understood as“_”A. to giv

51、e the thief an alert mindB. to express the owners anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of his conscienceD. to make the thief give up his mind49One function of the program is that it allows the owner to_at a distance.A. change some access details for switching on the laptopB. turn on the laptop b

52、y using the original passwordC. operate the laptop by means of an alternative passwordD. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop50Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.B. A new software provides

53、 a means to reduce laptop theft.C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.第卷（共35分）第一节 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。The rate of population growth is fastest in underdevelop

54、ed countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter(相反地) balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population co

55、ntrol is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a

56、 large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more range

57、 for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand for them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large populati

58、on.One of the difficulties in putting birth control into practice lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the fir

59、st concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a decreasing market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a decreasing tax base

60、 and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country

61、may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one that is stable or in decline.Title Population controlThemePopulation control causes (1) among researchers and countries.AmongresearchersReasons for population control It can (2) the effect of a reduced death rate.
