• 2．Will printed newspapers disappear one day？It's quite possible.Here are some reasons.
     First of all，printed newspapers aren't the only way to get information.You can find the same information on the Internet.Besides，you can read a lot of information online for free，which makes the Internet even more attractive.
     Lots of people are becoming Internet users and most of Internet users read news online.For example，
  I usually get new information about events that happen in the world by reading short messages on Twitter.As far as I know，students in our university hardly read newspapers.One can argue that older generations may have been used to reading printed newspapers and do not want to change anything，but research proves the opposite.According to a study，the number of Internet users aged between 70 and 75 has increased greatly within four years.This fact sounds strange，but some of Internet users are over 73 years old.
     Where do newspapers get their money？The answer is "advertisers".It is quite expensive especially
  when you have a lot of other opportunities.Online advertisements are becoming more and more popular.It is good to both sides because it is easier to track （追蹤） how many clicks have been made on this link than to find out how many people have actually read a newspaper and paid attention to advertisements.
     Also，printed newspapers are not environmentally friendly.They need tons of wood，lots of electricity and many delivery （運(yùn)輸） ways to produce and transport the papers.
  
  （1）The first reason for the possibility of printed newspapers' disappearance in the near future is that

  .
  A．newspapers are not available to everyone.
  B．newspapers is the only source of information.
  C．the news in the printed newspapers is very boring.
  D．the Internet provides a lot of the same information free of charge.
  （2）What does the author want to show by mentioning the study in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．Old people also love new things.
  B．Newspapers are losing their aged readers.
  C．More old people are used to reading newspapers.
  D．Old people are willing to change their bad habits.
  （3）Which is not the reason why printed newspapers may disappear one day？

  
  A．They are not good for the environment.
  B．They are cheaper and cheaper because of the Internet.
  C．An increasing number of people become Internet users and read news online.
  D．Advertisers prefer online advertisements because it is easier to track how many clicks have been made.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．How people read news today.
  B．Why the Internet is important.
  C．Why printed newspapers may die away.
  D．How people get information today.

• 3．In most situations，the responses of bystanders （旁觀者）like negative body language，uninvited comments or pieces of advice on a child's angry behavior can add to the stress of the situation.But sometimes bystanders' understanding，and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference.
     One mom experienced this first-hand.
     This mom was obviously pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at the Los Angeles International Airport.Then things took a turn for the worse.
     The boy，about 18 months old，according to Beth，a Facebook user，was running all over the place，
  kicking，screaming，and lying on the floor，unwilling to get aboard the plane.His mom did her best to calm him down，but Beth said， "She couldn't pick him up because he was so upset.He kept running away from her，then lying down on the ground，kicking and screaming again." Finally，the mom was at her wits' end.She sat down on the floor next to her son，buried her face in her hands，and began to cry.
     Then the most amazing thing happened.
     A group of six or seven women，Beth included，circled around the mother and son and did something to help.Beth sang him the "Itsy Bitsy Spider".Another offered an orange.Another gave him a toy she had on hand.Another helped get his cup out of Mom's bag.Yet another tended to Mom by offering her a water bottle.With the help of these women，the kid and his mother calmed down and were able to board the plane.
     And then life moved on.All of the strangers went their separate ways without speaking of what had happened.But Beth said it was something she'd never forget. "We were strangers，gathering to solve something，" she wrote. "It occurred to me that a circle of passers-by，with a mission，can save the world."
  
  （1）What are the bystanders supposed to do according to the first paragraph？

  
  A．Laugh at the parents.
  B．Give parents some advice.
  C．Comment on the situation.
  D．Be kind and offer assistance.
  （2）What does the underlined part "was at her wits' end" probably mean？

  
  A．Made up her mind.
  B．Felt worried and totally at a loss（不知所措）.
  C．Gave up and ran away.
  D．Collected her thoughts and calmed down.
  （3）Which of the following can best describe the scene in Paragraph 5？

• 4．In the early days of human history，people survived by hunting wild animals，or gathering wild grains and plants for food．Then，some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food．They were the first farmers．
     From the sixteenth century on，the word "farm" has meant agricultural land．But a much older meaning of the word "farm" is linked to economics．The word "farm" comes from the Latin word "firma"，which means an unchanging payment．Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word "farm" was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent．
     Farmers in early England did not own their land．They paid every year to use agricultural lands．In England，farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses．They called this row of hawthorns a hedge．Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them．Soon，people began to use the word "hedging" to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss．Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets．A gambler bets a lot of money on one team．But，to be on the safe side，he also places a smaller bet on the other team，to reduce a possible loss．
     You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business．One business may fail，but likely not all．Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines．Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry．So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining．Rain may soon appear．A wise person copies the farmer．He works when conditions are right．
  
  （1）From

  century on，the word "farm" has meant agricultural land．
  A．16th
  B．13th
  C．15th
  D．14th
  （2）We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England

  ．
  A．had land of their own
  B．paid to use hawthorn trees every year
  C．used hedging fields
  D．often suffered from financial loss
  （3）Which of the following is wise？

  
  A．A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quiet
  B．Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dry
  C．Put off gathering hay when the sun is shining
  D．Gather hay as it is rainy
  （4）If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class，he learns to

  ．
  A．become a wise farmer
  B．hedge his bet
  C．gather his hay
  D．make hay while the sun shines

二、七選五（每小題10分，共1小題，滿分10分）

• 5．Everyone has worries，but what do you do with your worries？Whether your worries are big or small，you can take three steps to deal with them.
     （1）

  
     The first step is to find out what you're worried about.Sometimes you know it，but sometimes you might not.If you can't make sure what your worries are，you will have more and more new problems in your life.So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even if it might not be so easy.
     Think of the ways to make it better.
     （2）

  Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.Grades at school are often a top worry for students.If you're worried about grades，ask yourself these questions：
     ★How do I get ready for class？Do I review my notes even when there isn't a test？
     ★Do I have a good place to do my homework？（3）

  
     ★Have I tried different ways of studying？
     If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend，you might write down all the things you could
  do-write a note to him or her，invite him or her to a basketball game，apologize to him or her etc.Once you have a list of things you could do，you can choose the one that gets your friend back.（4）

  
  Ask for help.
     When you are worried，you need to find someone to communicate with. （5）
