The tech giant（科技巨头） introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform. They are digital books（电子书）in many subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography.Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction with（连接）major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students. Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter in learning”. It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.Of course theres a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or less. Textbook publishing was worth $ 8.7 billion in the US alone last year. And the rest, as they say, is history. Will Apple revolutionize（彻底改革）learning? Will digital books take over completely in education? That remains to be seen.21. What is the best title of the text?A. Say Good-bye to TraditionB. A Different Way of LearningC. Experience Digital TextbooksD. Apple Enters New Market 22. iBooks textbooks will do good to pupils and students because _.A. they are free to getB. they are ipad-basedC. they are easy to carry D. they are favorite gifts 23. The underlined words “a catch” in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to “_.”A. an advantage B. a problem C. a surprise D. an order24. What can we know from that last paragraph?A. Digital books have disadvantages and advantages. B. Traditional textbooks will be replaced sooner or later.C. Apple has earned a lot from the textbook market.D. iPad-based textbooks have changed our learning.BThe Fourth 21th Century Cup National English Speaking Competition is to be held in Shanghai.Organizers: China Daily and Shanghai Broadcasting Network.Co-ordinater: China University English Speaking Association（CUESA）.Co-sponsors （联办单位）: English Speaking Union（ESU）, Lotus Software（China）Co.

He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. Im sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.” “No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then hell take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Dont forget it when you prepare supper for him.” The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isnt useful at all.” “No, no,” said the woman. “I dont think so. He must forget something.” “Oh, Ive remembered!” The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot” 29The old man came to the inn _.

Athey hoped the old man would leave the bag in the inn Bthey wanted to make the food betterCthe old man always forgot somethingDthey wanted to know if the grass was usefulDFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan（扫视）the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy（银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.32According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A15 billion B10 billion.C5 billion. D200 billion33The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _ .Awhy scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsBhow scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsCwhere scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsDwhen scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets34The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ _ ”.Afind Bfollow Cform D check35Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?AScientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.来源:Z*xx*k.ComBMost scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.CThe earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.DScientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets.第二节：共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选型。选项中有两项为多余选项。Top 5 Ways to Build a Wonderful LifeLive below your means(收入).We all want to buy that new piece of technology, or take out a loan(贷款) for the expensive car we cant afford. It might feel great at the time but spending too much hurts a lot later on.Enjoy lifes simple pleasures and save as much as you can. 36 Careful spending will bring you greater enjoyment in the long run.Put your money to work. 37 Good investments(投资) can be the difference between retiring in your 40s or in your 60s.

They could retire without a drop in income!Educate yourself.To be happy we need continuous growth. 38 This doesnt mean you need to get a doctors degree or spend 2 hours every day.

The personal relationships with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Dont forget about them. Without the people you care about youll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you are.Work towards a dream.Even if your life isnt perfect, you can always build towards a goal.
