16、s第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）A A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by
17、the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable professor?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was gi
18、ven two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. Im Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day finally came, my nerves kick
19、ed in （开始生效） and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like an experienced professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table.
20、I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. “All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and waited for the students to speak out freely. Before this class I had been thinking that the students w
21、ould be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I even had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would be active and perhaps they would yell(大喊) and I would have to say “Calm down, youll all get your
22、turn. One at a time, one at a time!”But, on the contrary, nobody put up his/her hand. A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no one stand up, I asked the students to take out their notebooks and write a brief article on deep disappointment.56. The author took the job to teach writing because
23、_.A. he wanted to be called Mr. Davis like his father. B. he had written some storiesC. he wanted to please his father D. he had dreamed of being a teacher57. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for what he would te
24、ach in his first class.C. He got nervous as his first class came.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.58. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to _.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. cut some car
25、ds out of the construction paperD. write down their names on the paper cards59. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk. B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands. D. They shouted to be heard.60. The author chose topic for the article probably because
26、_.A. he got disappointed with his first class B. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the students D. he thought it was an easy topicB To a growing number of US students in China, study in the ancient country is no longer just a cultural experience; it has become an import
27、ant part of their future professional careers. Sam Gor, a 26-year-old student from Santa Clara, a county near San Francisco, said the purpose of his studies in Beijing was to help him find a good job when he goes back to the United States. “Culture matters,” he said. “But more importantly, to learn
28、Chinese and get a better understanding of the country may help me professionally.” As a new student at Beijing Language and Cultural University (BLCU), Gor hopes to find a job in Santa Claras local government when he goes back home in one year. “I need to learn Chinese if I want the job, as we have
29、a large Chinese community there.” Gor is not alone in his thinking. While the number of US students in China has grown from less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 currently, many of them are here to boost a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture. “In the past, foreign stu
30、dents came to China merely for our culture,” said Xu Qiuhan, director of BLCUs foreign students office. “But because of Chinas rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to a students future job.” There are more US students who choose to stay in the c
31、ountry instead of going back after graduation. Stephanie Schubmehlo, a 23-year-old from Rochester, New York State, said she would like to stay in Beijing after graduation. “I love the city , and I can earn myself a living here if I can speak good Chinese,” she said, adding that some of the US studen
32、ts she knows shared the same idea.61. This text mainly tells us that _A. US students prefer to stay in ChinaB. Chinese will become popular all over the world C.

34、 development makes Chinese professionally useful64. What do Sam Gor and Stephanie Schubmehlo have in common?A. They are studying Chinese in Beijing B. They are from the same city of the US.C. They are of the same age. D. They will go back to the US after graduation.65. Which of the following stateme
35、nts is true according to the text?A. Many US students know Chinese better than English.B. Chinese is the necessary subject in many American schools.C. Most US students choose to go back to America after graduation.D. Its easier for Sam Gor to get the job with learning Chinese well.C PALO AITO, Calif
36、ornia“ Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fattereven if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week. A study of 192 third and fourth grades, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number o
37、f hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds （0.91 kg ） less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet. “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity
38、,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician （儿科专家）at Stanford University. “ American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said. In the study, present
39、ed this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and
40、had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise. “One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning of
41、f calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals instead of three in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson added.66. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _.A.
42、children will get fatter if they eat too much.B. children will get thinner if they eat less.C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV.D. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV.67. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watchi
43、ng TV _.A. is more than twenty eight hours a week. B. is less than four hours a day.C. doubled in the last twenty years. D. is more than on any other activities.68. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about _.A. six hoursB. eight hoursC. three hoursD. one hour69. Which
44、 of the following is right ?A. Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.B. Children usually eat more while watching TV.C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.70. Why can watching TV increase kids weight according to the passag
45、e ?A. They usually eat more while watching TV. B. They burn off fewer calories.C. They change their diet while watching TV. D. Both A and BD VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. It is also referred to as IP Telephony. It is another way of making phone calls. VOIP is especially popular with
46、long distance calls. The main reason for which people are so increasingly turning to VOIP technology is the cost. VOIP is said to be cheap, but most people use it for free. Yes, if you have a computer with a microphone and speakers, and a good Internet connection, you can communicate using VOIP for free. There are basically three ways of using VOIP. One is to have a PC on both communicating sides; another is to have a phone on one side and a PC on the other and the third is to have two phones. VOIP is a relatively new technology and it has already achieved wide
