I have completed my article about advertisements, 61.而且我对此相当满. It has just been published on our school website. 62. 我从来不知道广告如此有趣～The information I found will really help me to educate others. I hope that after they read my article, my schoolmates will understand that PSAs are intendedto educate us about public welfare issues, and that commercial ads are meant to promoteproducts and services. Before our talk, I did not think very much how and advertiser might be trying to trick customersinto buying a product or a service. 63. Now I think I will be much smarter about what things to buy. Even if there are lots of exciting images and persuasive language, I will remember nationwidepublic services ad campaigns, 64. because I know how helpful they can be. I will encourage my friends to pay attention to them as well. 65. Thank you again for helping me find so much useful information! Yours faithfully Qian Lili 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (三) Throughout history, people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain. That is why English is a language with so many confusing rules. The English language is made up of the rules and vocabulary each group of people brought to Britain with them. Modern English began during the Renaissance in the th16 century. 1.由于这个原因，近代英语包括了许多拉丁词汇和希腊词汇. Pronunciation also underwent huge changes during this period. 2. However, this is not the end of the changes in the English language. The question of whether English will continue changing in the future is easy to answer. Even today, where a person comes from will affect their style of speech. 3.这就是所谓的方言. If a person from the south of England goes to the north, 4.他或她可能发现难以听懂当地人在说些什么. It is certain that this progress will continue, 5. and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (四) I’m a Chinese student. Last year I went to England to study. After a period of time, I found that 61我的英语更好了, as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, 62 so I could send e-mails to my family and friends. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. 63烹饪真的有趣 as I learnt how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term, 64 we held a class party and we all had to cook something. 65 I found all my classmates interested in my cake. I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (五) Dear Dr Fang I read your magazine every month. 1. 我自己也是一个青少年, almost 1 6, and have some problems at home that I hope you can help me with. 2. The main problem is that I can't get along with my father. Whenever I want to do something or suggest an idea, such as a restaurant we can go to for dinner, he doesn't listen to me. Then, when I refuse to listen to him, he shouts at me angrily. 3. He and my mother always make me do things I don't like, such as playing the piano and doing housework. Then, whenever I have some spare time and want to be alone, they call me selfish and distant! 4. 如果我放外国音乐，我父亲很烦。Also, every time I watch a DVE: he sends me to bed or tells me to spend more time studying. He even forbids me from chatting with my friends in the Internet cafe! 5. I love him a lot, but I don't understand why he is so hard on me and will not respect the things I want to do. He was once a teenager—he should understand me better than he does. Best wishes Liu Xiaowei 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (六) Life on Earth? Professor Zyke of Mars University reported yesterday that 1. he has found new evidence of life on Earth. “ 2. 真的很奇怪”, Professor Zyke said. “If you look at the Earth hard enough, you can see that the creatures on Earth have been busy in the construction of larges cities, wide roads and even great walls.” This news was immediately dismissed with laughter by other scientists at Mars University. 3. They remember an incident a few years ago, where it was believed that a spaceship from the Earth was taking photos of the surface of Mars. As we know, the machine that was found looked more like something made by a local schoolboy than anything that could ever travel in space. Professor Zkye, however, continued to defend his research. “If astronomers would just look into what I have found, 4. they will see that I’m not making up things. 5. 地球上真的有生命。” 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (七) Would you like the chance to discover a place of mystery and beauty in the south-west of China? 1. If your answer is 'yes ', consider a trip to Shangri-la! Start in the city of Dali and drive north along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway until you reach Zhongdian (Shangri-la), the capital of Diqing. Zhongdian is 659 kilometres away from Kunming, 2. 而且两个城市之间有定期航班. Three mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for words. Below the mountains, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds against the rich countryside. Sheep, cattle and horses wander on the green grass, and the surrounding forests are home to many birds and animals. 3. In this peaceful land, people live in perfect harmony with nature, far away from the noise and worry of the outside world. 4. 大自然给香格里拉提供了无尽的自然奇珍, making the land a happy home for the local people. 5. The weather changes so quickly that people say you can experience four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (八) Pleasant smells reduce pain? 1. The possibility that pleasant smells might reduce pain has recently been suggested by new research. In a scientific study, doctors asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hands in very hot water for as long as possible while breathing in different smells. Since it is believed that strong smells can affect the senses, 2. 在实验前，志愿者们被要求 八个小时不吃不喝. During the experiment, volunteers were asked to sniff various pleasant smells and unpleasant smalls. At the same time, the volunteers kept their hands in hot water 3. 直 到他们不能再忍受痛苦. 4. Scientists are interested in whether the sense of smell is related to pain. They are also curious about whether it is the same for both sexes. Now, the study has proved that 5. for women, pleasant smells reduce pain. For men, there is almost no change. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (九) The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet, it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. 1. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. The history of the Chinese language can be examined 2. 通过看这些文字是这样发展的. 3. 汉字 书写始于数千年前。 The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified and others have been made more difficult over time. 4. However, not all characters were developed from drawings of objects. Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish their meanings by looking at them. Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character indicate the meaning and the other suggests the pronunciation. 5. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十) Nowadays, we can find advertisements almost wherever we go. 1. We are so used to them that we often do not even realize how many we see and hear in a day. There are two main types of advertisements—commercial advertisements and public service advertisements(PSAS). 2. There are laws to protect people from advertisements that cheat people. However, we still be aware of this skillful methods used in ads to try to sell us things. Even if an ad does not lie, it does not mean it is altogether innocent. We must not fall for their tricks! 3. 可是不是所有的广告都愚弄我们。 PSAS use some of the same methods, like attractive pictures and clever language, but they are made to serve the public. 4. 公益广告目的是教育我们 并帮助我们生活的更好。Our government understands this and has been using PSAS to educate people for many years. Think About why you should do things the ad suggests, or buy the product or service the ad promotes. 5. When it comes to advertisements, we must all use our intelligence and not be a slave to them! 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十一) It was near the end of the football match, and neither team had scored. The captain of the Eagles passed the ball to a teammate, and then ran down near the Kangaroos' goal. 1. His teammate passed the ball back to him, but the shot was too high. The Eagles' captain knocked the ball to the ground with his hand, and then kicked it and scored. The referee blew the whistle; the match was over and the Eagles had won. 2. 当然，这个进球不因该算数。Of course, the goal should not have counted. However, now it was too late. The Kangaroos were out of the tournament(比赛), while the Eagles continued on. However, with the referees now keeping a close watch on the Eagles, they struggled and lost their next match. 3. 后来，他们抱怨裁判不公。 The Eagles went home angry and bitter because they did not win the tournament. 4. Meanwhile, the Kangaroos went home and trained harder than before. 5. In the next tournament, the Kangaroos defeated the Eagles by a score of 5 to 1. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十二) Dear Andrew, It seems you need to apologize quickly to avoid losing a good friend! Don’t forget that some things are important to people, even when they don’t shout about them. The match was probably very important to Matthew and 1. he felt guilty about losing, and bad about not being as gifted at football as you are. A football team needs all the players to work together and help each other. 2. 每个球员都应 该尽全力. Shouting at your teammate was unfair and just made him feel worse. Although you both said mean things to each other, one of you has to be first to say sorry. Don’t be stubborn! 3. 你说你们的友谊和足球一样重要. Well, then 4. you should be determined to get your friendship back. Don’t let a small disagreement ruin your friendship. Do not delay. Talk to your friend and 5. I’m sure that before long, you’ll be back playing football together. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十三) There is no doubt that the world climate has been changing in recent years. Many people blame this change on gases such as carbon dioxide. Animals and humans produce carbon dioxide when they breathe. 1. However, many other human activities also let off carbon gases. 2. 任何时候东西一燃烧，碳就被排放在大气中。 Cars and other vehicles burn petrol in their engines and electrical power plants most often bum fuels such as coal and oil in order to produce electricity. 3. One thing we can all do to help solve this problem is to walk or use a bicycle when possible. At home, we should use as little energy as possible. Turn off the lights and anything else electrical when not in use, and we can plant a tree, because trees absorb the carbon dioxide in the air to produce oxygen. 4. 种树便宜而且容易 Planting a small tree is cheap and easy and two decades from now, when you look at what will have become a large tree, 5. you will find a sense of satisfaction knowing that you did your part to help solve the problem of climate change. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十四) Dear Wei Hua I am a high school student in the UK. I have just read your article about what you experienced in the UK. 61我非常愿意成为你的朋友。First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Daniel Adams. I’m studying at Southampton High. I’ am really fond of reading books, and that is why my favourite subject is Literature. 62 周末，我喜欢踢足 球和上网。I also enjoy eating sweets, so I never miss dessert at dinner. 63 I did not realize schools in the UK are so different from schools in China until I read your article. It must have been quite a struggle for you to become used to academic life in a British School. 64 I really have respect for everything you have achieved. Next year, I plan on attending a high school in China on a student exchange programme, and 65 I found your article a great encouragement to me. I would love to meet you when I go to China. Please write soon! Best wishes Daniel Adams 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十五) Dear Toby Thank you very much for your letter. Your trip sounds exciting! 61. 我迫不急待想听到非 洲是什么样。 Since my last letter to you, I have had a little adventure of my own. Early this month, my mother and I took a flight to Dunhuang, in the north-west of China. The desert out there was really 我一生中从未见到这么多沙子～ While we were there, we arranged with a quite amazing---62. tour company to ride camels. I was very excited because this was the first time I had seen one up close. 63. We had hoped that we would get to see some other wildlife on our trip, but sadly we didn’t. Since you are going to the Sahara, I have some advice---be sure to bring a large hat and a shirt with long sleeves---64. you’ll need to keep covered or you’ll get burnt---my cheeks were red for days after my trip. And another thing, you’ll need to keep a good supply of water with you, since it is so dry and hot. I’m sure you’ll have a nice trip. 65. I look forward to receiving your postcards! Best wishes Aihua 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十六) Pigeons have a wonderful sense of direction and can find their way home over long distances. Indeed, pigeons have been known to fly home from as far away as l, 800 kilometres. 61. That is why pigeons have been used since ancient times to carry the news or even the mail. However, it was in war that they found their greatest use. During both World War I and II, pigeons were employed by armies to carry messages to and from the front lines, 62. saving the lives of many soldiers and even helping win some important victories. 63. 鸽子是怎样找到它们的路的, Pigeons appear to have a compass inside them that tells them which way is north, 64. 这种指南针是怎样工作的仍然还是个谜。 Of course, since a compass alone is not enough to find one's way, they also appear to use their sight and even their sense of smell to tell them which way they should go. 65. Unlike humans, they never get lost and can always find their way home. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十七) The three men built a small boat dinosaurs rose to the surface and was almost sunk by the dinosaurs before they were able to get away. They sailed to shore and explored the forest. 61. They carne across huge insects and many strange creatures. As they were wandering around, they noticed a man sitting against a tree in the distance—62. 他至少有四米高. The men became afraid, and ran back to the boat. They set sail again, and saw what looked like an exit, but it was blocked by rocks which had fallen down from the ceiling. They made a bomb to blow up the rocks. After the bomb exploded, their boat rushed wildly forward into a large hole. 63. 船随水飘下。 64. It was too fast for them to escape. They could only hold on to the boat in terror. Finally, they reached the bottom of the hole. Then the water began to push them up. They floated upwards for miles. The water rushed beneath them, pushing them out into the sunlight. 65. They now found themselves in a volcano in Italy—their adventure was over, but a new one was about to begin. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十八) Ms Lin suggested we should cut back on the quantity of things we produce in order to save the environment. I don't agree with her because then jobs will be lost. 61. I believe that people are more important than fish and trees. However, I do agree that we should produce more things from materials that have been recycled, and less from raw materials, the supply of which is growing smaller and smaller. 62. 我们所需要的是更好的法律to preserve the environment and still allow our country to grow. This includes controls on how many trees are cut down and how many fish are caught. This might make wood and seafood more expensive, but paying a higher price for some things is not always bad. 63. Asking around, I find many people willing to pay a little higher price for things that are friendly to the environment. 64. Finally, those factories which pollute the environment should have to pay higher taxes. If you harm the environment, 65. 你将为它付出代价 to be repaired. Thank you for listening. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (十九) Diet and way of life are often a problem for teenagers. However, you can feel better, look better and have more energy if you eat the right food and exercise regularly. 61. Healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably the only way to become fit. 62. 作为一个青少年，为你的身体提供所需的能量是重要的。If you skip meals, you don't get enough energy, and then you feel tired. For a healthy diet, you should eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. You also need to drink a lot of water—six to eight glasses a day. Experts suggest that teenagers spend at least 30 minutes exercising, five times a week. 63. 很 容易做到的! Walking and riding your bike count, and so do school sports. Often, teenagers give up sport, saying they have no time left after their studies. 64. A good amount of sleep every night is also important for your health. When you sleep, your body prepares you for the day to come. Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep each night. As a matter of fact, loss of sleep can make you look tired, and even cause you to gain weight. 65. If you follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much better in no time at all! 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (二十) What is the most fun you can have in 21 hours and 23 minutes? On 15 0ctober 2003, Yang Liwei answered this question. His voyage in space took him 600,000 kilometres in orbit, around the Earth 14 times, in just over 21 hours. 61. 这使得他成为中国的第一位太空宇航员。 Born in 1965, Yang had wanted to fly since he was a young boy. 62. His dream was encouraged by his parents as well as his older sister and younger brother. In 1983, he joined the army, and went to flight school. He graduated in 1987 and became a pilot. In 1998, he applied to be a member of Project which is now called Shenzhou. He was one of the only 14 selected from 1, 500 candidates. The team spent the next five years being trained. They only studied all the subjects required to be an astronaut, but also learnt survival skills and all about how spaceships and rockets are built. Yang scored among the very top in everything the group studied. In September 2003, only three out of the 14 candidates were picked for the Chinese space adventure, and Yang was one of them. He took all kinds of tests to prove he was fit for this important task. Yang was described by his superiors as hard-working and always in control of himself. 63. Because of these qualities, they were optimistic he would be successful. 64. 最后，杨确实成功了。His name will go down in history with those of Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard. The people of China can be proud of Yang Liwei, and 65. young people all over the world can look up to him as an example of a man who managed to live his dream. 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (二十一) Today I saw the ancient Roman city of Pompeii as it was 2000 years ago. How amazing! 61.The thcity was forgotten for many years until the 18 century when a farmer found some stone with writing on it. 62. 人们开始在这个地区挖宝藏，导致很多损害. So in 1860, the Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli was made director of the Pompeii dig. 63. When I walked around the city, I saw streets just as they had been, with stepping stones along the road so you did not have to step in the mud in the streets on rainy days! I saw several houses with mosaic floors and wall paintings. 64. I also saw the bodies of people that had been turned to stone when they had been covered with ash—65. 它们被保存得完全就像2，000年前. The volcano is still there. I looked at it through a pair of binoculars. It’s hard to imagine how this quiet volcano destroyed the whole city! 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (二十二) Dear Editor. Recently I have experienced a lot of problems in the computer room. Many students also had the same experience. 61. 因此，我给你写信来说出我的意见. 62. 在我看来，是我们该有新电脑的时候了. The computers that we use at the moment are old and slow, and they often crash and are not Connected to the internet, we need PCs that have faster CPUs and more RAM as at present we can only use one program at one time. Also we need to buy new keyboards and mouses because many of the keyboards have letters missing and many of the mouses are not working properly. ndOn Sunday 2 March, for example, I spent four hours writing my homework in the computer room, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 63. I had to miss lunch for that. 64. If the PC I was using had had a good keyboard, I would not have made so many mistakes. The keyboard had letters missing and the mouse wouldn’t move the cursor around the screen properly. 65. I tried other PCs but they were in worse condition. At last, I finished my homework but then I had another problem—it wouldn’t print! I had to find a senior student to help me. It took an hour to fix the printer. The government says we should have more IT in all subjects and use IT in more lessons, so we really need to have new computers.

He is often in trouble with his aunt. Aunt Polly is very kind-hearted but Tom thinks she is always trying to control him. 61 汤姆不同于城里的其他孩子. He loves adventures. He tries very hard not to go to a school and he often jumps out of his bedroom window at night to meet his friends. He is very clever. One day Aunt Polly asks him to paint the fence round the house, and he manages to get all the boys in the town to do the work for him by inventing a new fence painting game. 62 It is these little stories that made me want to keep reading the book but it is the adventures that are the most important part of the book. 63 汤姆最好的朋友是Huck，一个没有家的孩子. In one adventure they sleep for a night in the town’s graveyard and they see a man kill another man. Later in the book Tom, Huck and another boy decide to leave the town because they think that life there is too boring. 64 They run away to an island in the middle of the nearby river. 65 Without seeing the boys, the people in the town think that they have drowned in the river. One day, when the boys run back into town and attend their own funerals before telling everyone that they are still alive! 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ Dear Andrew, It seems you need to apologize quickly to avoid losing a good friend!

Don’t let a small disagreement ruin your friendship. Do not delay. Talk to your friend and 65 I’m sure that before long, you’ll be back playing football together. (二十七) Dear Editor As a physician, I read your article about human cloning with great interest. I first heard of cloning animals from a single cell when I went to a lecture about Dolly the sheep. 61 多利在英 国于1996年被克隆。At the time, I thought that the whole concept of cloning was not moral. 62 If we toy with life, we might create problems. Who gave us the right to do this? And, what are the consequences of our actions? It seems that I was correct to have doubts about real-life cloning. After all, even though Dolly looked the same as a normal sheep, 63 她不健康而且死得早, and no one knows the exact reason for this. 64 The idea behind cloning sounds good, but there are many legal problems with it. For this reason, I also don't accept the idea of cloning humans—mankind is not ready for this. 65 I believe that we need strict laws to make it a crime to do human cloning. Yours truly Wang Lin 1._____________________________________________________________________________ 2._____________________________________________________________________________ 3._____________________________________________________________________________ 4._____________________________________________________________________________ 5._____________________________________________________________________________ (二十八) Dear Dr Fang, I read your magazine every month. I myself am a teenager, almost 16, and have some problems at home that I hope you can help me with. 61 The main problem is that I can’t get along with my father. Whenever I want to do something or suggest an idea, such as a restaurant we can go to for dinner, he doesn’t listen to me. 62 Then, when I refuse to listen to him, he shouts at me angrily. He and my mother always make me do things I don’t like, such as playing the piano and doing housework. Then, whenever I have some spare time and want to be alone, they call me selfish and distant! 63 如果我放外国音乐，我爸爸就烦。 Also, every time I watch a DVD, he sends me to bed or tells me to spend more time studying. 64 He even forbids me from chatting with my friends in the Internet cafe! I love him a lot, but I don’t understand 65 为什么对我这么狠 and will not respect the things I want to do. He was once a teenager—he should understand me better than he does.
