A
Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal their souls, to vent(发泄), and even to gossip.
Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暂停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers.
Recent surveys found that nearly a fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging.
In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later. To minimize (减少) the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.
56. Blogs are the place where people _________.
A. go online to have a chat B. go online to enjoy freedom
C. go online to express themselves freely D. exchange their views online
57. The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that ________.
A. people should be careful with what they write
B. people should not put their life online
C. American students are limited in blogging
D. anyone who has access to the Web has his blog
| |
A. strange B. perfect C. helpful D. reasonable
59. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the number of people who have blogs B. the use people make of blogs
C. advantages and disadvantages of blogs D. the author’s suggestions about blogging

Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes---- a group of men, tall, strong and handsome. and women , young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure-ships. They are models.
Do you envy them? What sort of life are model leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?
A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a big money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine— Models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work.. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high . Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.
Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modelling world. A top model can choose her work, demand and receive high fees and have her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and the tight figure. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell herself or himself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.
Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.
Modelling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.
64 . For models, their looks and figures are_____ , compared with their good qualifications and intelligence.
A. more important B. less needed C. less essential D. more looked down upon
65. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?
A. A model ‘s travelling expenses are usually paid by his employer.
B. to be a model ,good looks are the most important qualification.
C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.
D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.
66. Models often put “Secretary” or” Businessmen” instead of” Model” in their passports because
A. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans
B. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies.
C . models are sometimes looked down upon
D. secretaries and businessmen are free of Customs duty
67. What may be the author’s attitude toward modelling?
A. It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.
B. He is in favour of young people to try modelling.
C. Before being crazy about a model job ,young people should be aware of the difficulties.
D. It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.
68 .The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by ________
A. doubtfully B. excitedly C .proudly D. sadly

阅读下面一篇短文，完成下面的表格（每格一词）
This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action .Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived .But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
Family life ,too, was different. The father’s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually .Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.
“Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time .In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it .”
At the same time, in America, Mike ,a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools” he says , “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better than in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
| Items(项目) | American students | German students |
