Technology doesn't always mean people want to use it.‎ B. Predictions don't need to consider people's practical use of the technology.‎ C. Many of the hightech things people thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared. D．Hightech things are not always convenient to people's life.‎ ‎22．The underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”． A．became popular B．became enjoyable C．came into sight D．came to life 23．What does the author think of the flying car?‎ A．It is too difficult to imagine. B．It is too crazy to realise.‎ C．It is likely to appear in the future. D．It has been the focus of the news. 24．The passage mainly deals with .‎ A．predictions that catch our imagination B．predictions that haven't come true C．new technology that can benefit our life D．new technology that is in wide use B The media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media, to a great extent, gives us our sense of reality.‎ Freedom of the media carries with it certain responsibilities of honesty fairness, accuracy and accountability.The power of ‎ the media to create and destroy human values comes with great responsibility.‎ The media is powerful in the political system, having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image.‎ Professional journalists do have a code of ethics (道德标准)．Journalists make a judgment about what's safe and appropriate to report, which often involves difficult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between “ethics of conviction” and “ethics of responsibility”．According to the latter (ethics of responsibility), journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting, and the impact it will have on society.The former, on the other hand, asks journalists to tell the truth, regardless of the consequences.According to Weber, both ‎ideas of ethics should be considered.‎ Without doubt, information is power, and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and websites are, largely, owned and controlled by profitmaking businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted at times. It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make sure we are not merely passive viewers, readers or listeners.Together we can have a huge influence on the media by making our views known.‎ ‎25．What's the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A．Responsibilities of the media. B．Influence of the media. C．History of the media. D．Problems of the media. 26．We can learn from the third paragraph that .‎ A. the media is more interested in politics than other fields B. forming social change is the main duty of the media C. the great power of the media is controlled by political figures D. the media can affect politics by forming political figures' images 27．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The mass media should be owned by the government.‎ B. The media industry has developed into a new age in recent years.‎ C. In most cases, journalists are more powerful than the owners of the media.‎ D. The media tends to promote the ideas of their owners sometimes. 28．In the writer's opinion, citizens should .‎ A．trust the mass media B．become an influence on the media C．know how the media works D．try to report news themselves C Knowing a little firstaid could be lifesaving if you see someone lying unconscious.‎ Too often people don't do anything because they think they will kill the patient, but by learning simple rules you could make the difference between life and death.‎ First, you need to find out if they're unconscious, asleep or drunk, by squeezing the skin between their neck and shoulder and shouting.If there is no response at all, you need to establish if they are dead or just unconscious — sometimes it's very difficult to tell the difference.‎ Open the airway by placing one hand on their forehead and gently tilting the head back while lifting the chin.‎ If there are no signs of life — no obvious pulse and their chest is not going up and down — call an ambulance and then start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (心脏复苏) to maintain (获得) a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.‎ Do this by pushing up and down on the centre of the chest, with your hands interlocked together, constantly until an ambulance arrives.‎ Push at a rate of 100 beats a minute.You can't harm them doing this and might ‎ just save a life. 29．People don't do first aid often because .‎ A．they are not doctors B．they think it is dangerous C．it isn't their responsibility D．they are coldhearted 30．If the person's chest is not going up and down, it shows . A．the person is dead B．first aid is not needed C．you should start CPR D．an ambulance isn't necessary 31．Which of the following pictures is TRUE about CPR according to the passage?‎ 32. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．First aid for drunk people. B．First aid for injured people. C．First aid for unconscious people. D．First aid for choked people.‎ D Mrs. Goff is a math teacher at Lincoln High School. Mrs. Goff and I met my freshman year. Zach Howe and I were on our way to a baseball game when he said he needed to get his stuff from Mrs. Goff's room. I had no idea who she was then, but he said she was great. Well, he was definitely right.‎ Last year, I had a college math class that required me to be in the computer lab, which was located directly behind Mrs. Goff's room. When I struggled in the section, I would go to Mrs. Goff's and ask for assistance. She told me that I was a little too dependent and not confident enough in my ability.‎ A little confidence, combined with effort, will do wonders for anyone in anything. If you go into something thinking negative thoughts, negative things will happen. Mrs. Goff taught me that it was OK to make a few mistakes. Mistakes are a part of everyone's life. She told me that it is how you learn from them that defines your character. A person that learns from his or her mistakes is more likely to be a successful person in life.‎ This year, I have spent a lot of time with Mrs. Goff. She really helps me instill ( 逐 渐 灌 输 )‎ confidence in myself and others around me. The encouragement that she has given me made me realize that I can do the same thing for people. Therefore, she has helped my leadership skills and increased my confidence in being outgoing.‎ Mrs. Goff is a great role model in my life, and I appreciate everything she has done for me. I will never forget the things that she has done for me and the things she has helped me learn and accomplish throughout high school. I hope to be as good a teacher as she and give encouragement that she has for me and all of her students.‎ 33. What can we conclude from the passage?‎ A．A little confidence may help you achieve what might be impossible. B．Mrs. Goff is the best math teacher.‎ C．A teacher determines the fate of a student. D．The author became successful due to Mrs. Goff.‎ 32. What does the author intend to say in the third paragraph? A．You are sure to succeed with confidence and effort.‎ B. Take a positive attitude towards your mistakes.‎ C. Try to avoid making mistakes in your everyday life.‎ D．A successful person may make fewer mistakes. 35．It can be inferred from the passage that .‎ A. ‎the author now is working as an excellent teacher A. Mrs. Goff has a great effect on the author B. the author has made many mistakes at school C. Mrs. Goff should have helped the author more 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。‎ ‎ 36 ， fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?‎ ‎ 37 . Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. 38 . Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks ( 平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, 39 .Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. 40 . A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favourite poets.‎ A. Television has not killed reading, however B. Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes C．Every home should have a good dictionary D. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment E. and you can keep a book forever and read it many times F. Fewer and fewer people will buy books G．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分)‎ 第一节 (共 20 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 30 分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Sometimes we limit ourselves to be the better ones.Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 41 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. It was 42 that they could, at any time, break free, 43 strangely enough, they didn’t .I asked a trainer the 44 for this.‎ He said, “When they were very young, we used the 45 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can 46 hold them, so they never try.”‎ Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 47 once before? Do you often tell 48 “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?‎ These are 49 of selflimiting beliefs. You must realize you’re 50 for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have 51 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 52 you. The cool thing is that because you create the 53 you can choose to change it! Here is how:‎ First, 54_ it with “I am good at math”.
