of Chinese-young and old-have made it a nightly routine each Friday since May to turn into the live weekly program of Super Girl.The fact that it is broadcast on a provincial satellite station instead of the large CCTV network has not prevented the program’s appeal from growing in the past three months.But now the weekly show has become an important part of people’s life.Tang is a loyal supporter of Li Yuchun,21,who led the opinion poll(民意调查)in the previous rounds,and she has spent thousands of yuan as a fan of the show Super Girl.The top two leaders in the poll are Li and Zhou Bichang,20,a Guangzhou-based college student.On the other hand,Zhang Liangying,acknowledged as the best singer of the competition,is trailing(落后)in the third position in the poll.“The magic is the accessibility of the show,”says Hong Bing,a researcher at Fudan University.“The digital era is certainly propelling(推动)the success of Super Girl.It has come at just the right time and also in a right place.”Chinese culture seldom takes self-expression as a virtue but throwing“the girl next door”into the public and seeing her sing in front of the whole nation has made it different from the show business(娱乐圈).36.The popular TV show Super Girl is held______.A.once a week B.once a month C.every day D.once a year 37.From the passage we know that the TV show Super Girl______.A.is popular only in a province B.is broadcast by CCTV C.is liked by a great number of people all over the country D.is known to few people all over the country 38.How many girls who took part in the show“Super Girl”were mentioned in the passage?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.39.Which is the best title of this passage?A.Do You Want to Be Successful?B.Welcome to Super Girl!C.Who Is the Best Girl in China?D.What Makes Super Girl Fly?B When young people get their first real job,they may face a lot of new and confusing situations.They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school.It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable in both professional and social situations.Eventually,they realize that university classes can’t be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so,you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For example,you will observe how he acts in a crisis(紧要关头).Perhaps even more important,you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your workmates,you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from a model,you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.40.In the opinion of the author,the young people who have just graduated from school________.A.will do better than their workmates B.may not behave well in the working world C.should be ready to help others D.will find it easy to get along with their workmates 41.The best way to learn how to do things in the working world is________.A.to find a person you respect and watch how he acts B.to find a person you admire and make friends with him C.to find a worker and follow him closely D.to follow everyone in the working world 42.From the passage we know that________.A.young people are not well educated in university B.the world should treat the young better C.what young people have learned in university is not always fit for their new life D.young people don’t work hard at school 43.Which is the best title of the passage?A.One is Never Too Old to Learn B.Learn and Teach C.Learn Forever D.Learn from a Model C Reading is the key to success and,like any other skill,it takes practice.A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.A great athlete practices until he can play quickly,accurately,without thinking.Tennis players call that“being in the zone”.Educators call it“automaticity(自动性)”.A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding(破解)the words.With practice,he stumbles(结巴)less and less,reading by the phrase.With automaticity,he doesn’t have to think about decoding the words,so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in Illinois schools,Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade were reading almost three times as fast as the other children,scoring twice as high on comprehension tests.At fifth grade,the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others,all still outscoring them on comprehension and vocabulary.“It’s not IQ,but the amount of time as a child spends in reading that is the key to automaticity.”according to Rossman.Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books,magazines or newspapers will reach automaticity.At home,where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television,it can happen by turning off the TV set just one night in favor of reading.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud-something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age.If he reads aloud with expression,with a sense of the meaning of sentences,he probably is an automatic reader.If he reads haltingly(犹豫地),one word at a time,without expression or meaning,he needs more practice.64.Which is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.What automaticity is.B.How a child learns to walk.C.How an athlete is trained.D.How accuracy is gained.45.The Illinois study shows that the automatic readers high speed________.A.leads to their future success B.costs them a lot of work C.affects their comprehension D.doesn’t affect their comprehension 46.The underlined word“outscoring”in the second paragraph means________.A.scoring higher than B.scoring as low as C.scoring lower than D.scoring as high as 47.We judge whether a child is an automatic reader by seeing________.A.whether he likes reading a paragraph which is appropriate to his age B.how he reads a paragraph which is appropriate to his age C.how long he spends watching TV D.whether he has a high IQ D Although it doesn’t breathe fire,this dragon can fly.And what a beauty it is.By far the scariest thing about the dragonfly is its name.This double-winged,fast-flying insect is totally harmless.It has large,deep eyes that can detect the smallest movements.Its body may be bright blue and red or green.Dragonflies in flight look like dancing spots of color in the light of a midsummer’s day.The dragonfly has a long and respectable history.It is one of the first flying insects on the earth.Dragonflies live near the water.In fact,they lay their eggs right in the water.A dragonfly goes through several big changes before it becomes a flying insect.From the egg,a tiny creature called a nymph(幼虫)is hatched(孵化).It lives in the water,eating other small creatures that live in the pond.As the nymph grow,it becomes too big for its skin.Then it sheds(lose naturally)the skin that is too small for it.Soon it grows a new one.This molting happens several times,until the insect is fully grown.At this time it crawls up the stem of a water plant,out into the air.It squeezes its way out of its last skin as a full-fledged(成熟的)dragonfly.After going through all the changes,the dragonfly only lives for about a month.But for this short time it surprises the hot summer air with its bright beauty.48.The passage mainly tells us________.A.dragonflies add to the beauty of hot summers B.insects that live near water are harmless and interesting C.dragonflies are harmless,beautiful insects with an interesting life cycle D.insects go through several changes before they can fly 49.From the third paragraph we know that_______.A.young dragonfly nymphs eat their own skin B.young dragonfly nymphs eat their own eggs C.young dragonfly nymphs eat water plant stems D.young dragonfly nymphs eat other pond creatures 50.The underlined word“molting”in paragraph 3 means________.A.hatching eggs B.shedding skin C.laying eggs D.producing nymphs第四节：阅读表达（阅读短文，回答以下五个问题，每小题3分，满分15分）Many sports are connected with specific countries.Baseball is considered America’s pastime,and Scotland is known as the“home of golf”.Many theories exist about how baseball came into Latin America from the north in the nineteenth century.Some believe the marines took it to Nicaragua;others say that oil workers went to Mexico,or sailors brought it to Cuba.However it happened,the region developed a great interest in the game and exported it further to neighboring countries such as Puerto Rico,Venezuela,and Panama.Golf came from Scotland.As early as the 1400s,small stones were knocked into rabbit holes using a stick or club.In 1744,the first set of golfing rules and regulations was created in Edinburgh.In the nearby town of St.Andrews,the Society of St.Andrews Golfers was formed.Later it became known as the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St.Andrews.Today,St.Andrews Links is one of the most famous courses in the world.In 1895,the United States Golf Association was formed,and by 1901 there were more than 1,000 golf courses in the U.S.Around this time,golfers from Scotland and England were invited to the U.S.to teach the sport to Americans.Since then,the U.S.has produced some of the world’s leading golfers,and the sport has fans worldwide.Skiing became popular worldwide in the early twentieth century.Although the oldest known ski was found in Sweden,it is believed that the people of Norway developed skiing into a sport in the early 1700s.After ski lifts were invented in the 1930s,skiing spread to other countries in Europe and became a popular winter pastime.Not all countries have been as triumphant at exporting their national pastimes,however.Japan,for example,has never managed to attract as much interest from the rest of the world in sumo wrestling(相扑).51.Give a title of this passage.(In English)52.How many kinds of sports are mentioned in the passage?Please write them down.(In English)53.What does the underlined word“triumphant”mean in the passage?(In Chinese)54.把第三段的划线部分改成一个含有定语从句的句子。55.Translate the last paragraph into Chinese.第五节：书面表达（30分）请根据下列内容用英语写一篇短文，介绍美国的施瓦辛格先生。内容如下：1947年出生于奥地利(Austria)，是一个不爱说话的小男孩。他当时最感兴趣的就是健美(shape one’s
