A
The high school student gets off the train from Qingdao， and walks into a plastic surgery clinic in Beijings central business district of Guomao at about 9 am on a weekday. The secondgrader， surnamed Wu， is accompanied by her parents， and is hoping to improve her appearance.
With short hair and glasses， wearing a purple Tshirt， dark sport pants and gray sneakers， she says she is after medical advice about whether she should undergo surgical or nonsurgical procedures.
Wu is one of the many high school students who get plastic surgery during summer and winter vacations. A few days before Wu came to Beijing， another high school graduate surnamed Guo had a breast enlargement procedure at the same clinic. Guo， who has been admitted to Beijing Film Academy， also had work done on her eyes and nose during the last summer vacation. The three operations cost her wealthy mother nearly 100，000 yuan. The goodlooking girl says she simply “wants to become prettier”， while her mother admits a better appearance may help her daughter find more acting opportunities in the future.
“High school students usually arent so clear about what they want， compared to their parents， especially those who want their children to have a career in entertainment，” says Ding Xiaobang， a surgeon at the clinic， adding he never sees anyone “ugly” comes to his clinic. He says the most common operations are for double eyelids and nose jobs. He does not recommend that students under the age of 16 seek a sharper nose through surgery as their bones are stilling growing.
Hu Xiaogen， a doctor， says it is safer for women above 20 and men above 25 to undergo plastic surgery. Besides being physically immature， Hu says high school students are less prepared mentally to make such decisions. He says one 16yearold student pulled out of an operation， as she was afraid the injection to her eyelids would be too painful.
“Parents should offer objective and reasonable suggestions to their children. Not all of them are suitable to become actors or actresses， even after they take the risk of undergoing plastic surgery，” Hu says. “Enhancing allround capabilities is the correct way forward to a prospective career.”
36. Why did Wu come to Beijing together with her parents？
A. To find opportunities in acting.
B. To treat her nearsighted eyesight.
C. To seek advice on plastic surgery.
D. To enroll for Beijing Film Academy.
37. From what Ding said， we can infer .
A. parents wonder why their children need a plastic surgery
B. girls who do surgery operations will become actresses
C. parents having a career in entertainment prefer plastic surgery
D. those who do plastic surgery arent ugly at all
38. Which statement may Hu agree to？
A. Plastic surgery leads to a good job.
B. Appearance isnt everything.
C. Actors or actresses dont need plastic surgery.
D. There is no risk in doing plastic surgery.

With the 2012 London Olympics just over a year away， a small town in central England is celebrating early， and with good reason. While the first modern Olympics took place in Athens， Greece， in 1896， Much Wenlock began staging its “Olympian” nearly 50 years earlier.
The town of 2，000 about 240 kilometers northwest of London owes this legacy to Dr. William Penny Brookes， who first organized the games and promoted them for the rest of his life. Former International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch laid a wreath on Brookes grave in 1994， saying， “I came to pay respect to Dr. Brookes， who really was the founder of the modern Olympic Games.”
The London organizing committee for 2012 also honored the town that dates to medieval times， naming one of its two official mascots （吉祥物2012
） for next years games “Wenlock”.
“Brookes wanted sports for all， at all levels and over broad bases，” says Kirk Heywood， owner of the towns 17thcentury Raven Hotel.
In October 1890， Brookes met Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France， widely regarded as the founder of the modern Olympics， over several hours at the Raven. The two spoke about de Coubertins wish to stage an international Olympic festival in Athens. Even then， de Coubertin was determined to make sure his games were strictly for amateurs.
“The only trouble we have regarding professionalism is with the country towns money prizes are given very often for bicycle races，” the baron wrote in a letter. Amateurism eventually gave way at the Olympics， as professional athletes began competing in most sports.
Much Wenlock today is as much as it was several centuries ago， lacking fastfood chains and any semblance of modern buildings in the town center. Harold Langley won the Wenlock pentathlon gold medal in 1923 and competed for Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Alison Williamson won the Much Wenlock archery silver medal as a l0yearold in 1981. She went on to represent Britain at the 2000， 2004 and 2008 0lympics， winning a bronze medal at Athens in 2004.
Brookes died in December 1895， just five months before the 1896 Athens Games. He was born， maintained his medical practice.
43. The town Much Wenlock became famous because .
A. Dr. Brookes really started the modern Olympic Games here
B. one of the 2012 Olympic mascots was named Wenlock
C. it remains unchanged as it was several centuries ago
D. it is a place which Samaranch visited in 1994
44. We can infer that Brookes and Coubertin .
A. didnt want the games to be competitive
B. expected the games to be held for amateurs
C. blamed the town for giving more money to bicycle races
D. wished more professional athletes to join in the games
45. The writer mentioned Harold and Alison to prove .
A. England will achieve great success in 2012 Olympic Games
B. Much Wenlock was a birthplace for British champions
C. the legacy of the competitions has lived on
D. more British players will come to Wenlock to be trained
46. The main idea of the passage may be .
A. small English town stakes claim to Olympic legacy
B. Brookes was really founder of the modern Olympics
C. a small town held Olympic Games in England
D. Much Wenlock was the name of Olympic mascot

The NewYork Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport， yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. In addition， they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers， which should not be considered a sport. On the other hand， competitive cheerleading is a sport.
Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gymnasts， cheerleaders must learn to tumble. They perform standing back flips， round flip full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air， held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.
Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play， so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts， they are awarded points for difficulty， technique， creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount or a stunt， the sharper and more insync the motions， the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization （同步）， first place is out of reach.
So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport？ It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use balls or manipulate objects （if you do not count megaphones， pompoms and signs as objects）. Wrestling， swimming diving， track， crosscountry， gymnastics， iceskating and boxing are recognized sports that do not use balls. Some people argue that cheerleaders are just “flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd， but cheerleaders today compete against other squads and work just as hard as other athletes.
Competitive cheerleading is a sport. It is a physical activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants.
Hopefully， cheerleading will become as wellknown a sport as football and basketball， and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.
47. What is the primary purpose of cheerleading now？
A. To make the audience feel amused.
B. To cheer up the competitors on the court.
C. To compare the skills of participants.
D. To attract more people to watch events.
48. What is the most important for cheerleaders to win a champion？
A. They need to perform as gymnasts do.
B. They have to entertain the crowd a lot.
C. They should be energetic in the competition.
D. They must understand how to work together.
49. While competing in cheerleading， cheerleaders .
A. cant perform more than three minutes
B. are free to go here and there
C. need to follow a set of designed actions
D. usually use balls to add beauty to events
50. The writers attitude to treating cheerleading as a sport is .
A. negative B. supportive
C. neutral D. disappointing

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处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Traditionally， customers may consider more about what they buy the product for. However， the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customers awareness and stimulate their buying needs. Frequently， customers buy goods just because they are cute， lovely and unique. With a less emphasis on functional utilities （功用）， the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role. The image of products is emphasized， as well as the communication between products and consumers. Customer behavior， which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure， in fact responds to quite different objectives： displaced expression of desire， and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs. The reason for imageoriented customer behavior is probably that customers lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “Virtual Reality”. The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies， in which customers preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched. This change requires us to take efforts to enhance （提高） product image by integrating style， color， taste， shape and material， and communicate with customers creatively， imaginatively and innovatively， and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings. A need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a “need” for difference. The typical example is Apple Computers IMAC， which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics. By this way， customer relationship can be set up through image， and brand can be treated as living that can transform people. Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas， where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated. In sum， consumption is negotiation， neverending conversation held in the languages of advertising， packaging， branding， fashion， and entertainment.

Hello， everyone，
As we know， everyone needs friends. How to make true friends is very important to anybody.
To make friends， you must be friendly to others. A smile is like a magnet that draws people. Smile at others and you are always sure to get a smile in return. You should do your best to make a stranger feel at home， no matter where he happens to be. Think as you are in his position and make him feel welcome. In addition， dont judge a person by his appearance.
Try to remember others names， which will make them feel that they have made an impression on you. If you dont agree with others on certain matters， dont argue but discuss with them. Youd better think more of others than of yourself.
Finally， dont believe those who leave their friends when they are in trouble because， as the saying goes， “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” （150 words）

With the 2012 London Olympics just over a year away， a small town in central England is celebrating early， and with good reason. While the first modern Olympics took place in Athens， Greece， in 1896， Much Wenlock began staging its “Olympian” nearly 50 years earlier.
The town of 2，000 about 240 kilometers northwest of London owes this legacy to Dr. William Penny Brookes， who first organized the games and promoted them for the rest of his life. Former International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch laid a wreath on Brookes grave in 1994， saying， “I came to pay respect to Dr. Brookes， who really was the founder of the modern Olympic Games.”
The London organizing committee for 2012 also honored the town that dates to medieval times， naming one of its two official mascots （吉祥物2012
） for next years games “Wenlock”.
“Brookes wanted sports for all， at all levels and over broad bases，” says Kirk Heywood， owner of the towns 17thcentury Raven Hotel.
In October 1890， Brookes met Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France， widely regarded as the founder of the modern Olympics， over several hours at the Raven. The two spoke about de Coubertins wish to stage an international Olympic festival in Athens. Even then， de Coubertin was determined to make sure his games were strictly for amateurs.
“The only trouble we have regarding professionalism is with the country towns money prizes are given very often for bicycle races，” the baron wrote in a letter. Amateurism eventually gave way at the Olympics， as professional athletes began competing in most sports.
Much Wenlock today is as much as it was several centuries ago， lacking fastfood chains and any semblance of modern buildings in the town center. Harold Langley won the Wenlock pentathlon gold medal in 1923 and competed for Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Alison Williamson won the Much Wenlock archery silver medal as a l0yearold in 1981. She went on to represent Britain at the 2000， 2004 and 2008 0lympics， winning a bronze medal at Athens in 2004.
Brookes died in December 1895， just five months before the 1896 Athens Games. He was born， maintained his medical practice.

The NewYork Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport， yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. In addition， they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers， which should not be considered a sport. On the other hand， competitive cheerleading is a sport.
Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gymnasts， cheerleaders must learn to tumble. They perform standing back flips， round flip full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air， held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.
Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play， so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts， they are awarded points for difficulty， technique， creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount or a stunt， the sharper and more insync the motions， the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization （同步）， first place is out of reach.
So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport？ It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use balls or manipulate objects （if you do not count megaphones， pompoms and signs as objects）. Wrestling， swimming diving， track， crosscountry， gymnastics， iceskating and boxing are recognized sports that do not use balls. Some people argue that cheerleaders are just “flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd， but cheerleaders today compete against other squads and work just as hard as other athletes.
Competitive cheerleading is a sport. It is a physical activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants.
Hopefully， cheerleading will become as wellknown a sport as football and basketball， and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.
47. What is the primary purpose of cheerleading now？
A. To make the audience feel amused.
B. To cheer up the competitors on the court.
C. To compare the skills of participants.
D. To attract more people to watch events.
48. What is the most important for cheerleaders to win a champion？
A. They need to perform as gymnasts do.
B. They have to entertain the crowd a lot.
C. They should be energetic in the competition.
D. They must understand how to work together.
49. While competing in cheerleading， cheerleaders .
A. cant perform more than three minutes
B. are free to go here and there
C. need to follow a set of designed actions
D. usually use balls to add beauty to events
50. The writers attitude to treating cheerleading as a sport is .
A. negative B. supportive
C. neutral D. disappointing
四、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处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Traditionally， customers may consider more about what they buy the product for. However， the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customers awareness and stimulate their buying needs. Frequently， customers buy goods just because they are cute， lovely and unique. With a less emphasis on functional utilities （功用）， the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role. The image of products is emphasized， as well as the communication between products and consumers. Customer behavior， which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure， in fact responds to quite different objectives： displaced expression of desire， and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs. The reason for imageoriented customer behavior is probably that customers lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “Virtual Reality”. The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies， in which customers preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched. This change requires us to take efforts to enhance （提高） product image by integrating style， color， taste， shape and material， and communicate with customers creatively， imaginatively and innovatively， and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings. A need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a “need” for difference. The typical example is Apple Computers IMAC， which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics. By this way， customer relationship can be set up through image， and brand can be treated as living that can transform people. Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas， where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated. In sum， consumption is negotiation， neverending conversation held in the languages of advertising， packaging， branding， fashion， and entertainment.

Hello， everyone，
As we know， everyone needs friends. How to make true friends is very important to anybody.
To make friends， you must be friendly to others. A smile is like a magnet that draws people. Smile at others and you are always sure to get a smile in return. You should do your best to make a stranger feel at home， no matter where he happens to be. Think as you are in his position and make him feel welcome. In addition， dont judge a person by his appearance.
Try to remember others names， which will make them feel that they have made an impression on you. If you dont agree with others on certain matters， dont argue but discuss with them. Youd better think more of others than of yourself.
Finally， dont believe those who leave their friends when they are in trouble because， as the saying goes， “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” （150 words）
