Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit.‎ He walked into the station cafe. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror(镜子) on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom’s friends, came in and sat with Tom.‎ ‎“What time is your bus?” asked John.‎ ‎“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.‎ ‎“Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.‎ They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.‎ ‎“Good heavens! It’s going backward!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve ‎ and now it’s half past eleven.”‎ ‎“You are looking at the clock in the mirror,” said John.‎ Tom wanted to kick himself for being so foolish.

They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.‎ Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.‎ Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”‎ Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.‎ People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.‎ BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.‎ ‎28.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ A. To explain what they are. ‎ B.

Pass it on to another reader.‎ C. Keep it safe in his bookcase. D. Mail it back to its owner.‎ ‎31.What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books D Nowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.‎ Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they ‎ get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.‎ Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.‎ There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.‎ What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.‎ It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.‎ ‎32.What experts really worry is that .‎ A. children spend too much time watching TV ‎ B.

Explain. B. Copy. C. Ignore. D. Avoid.‎ ‎35.What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?‎ A. To express his own worries about TV violence.‎ B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.‎ C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.‎ D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.‎ 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项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ It’s necessary to revise(复习) after lessons so that you can really understand, remember and use what you have learned.
