29、ssages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. (20 points)AWhen it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business i

30、s already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the Wh

31、ite House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:The girls must write reports about what theyve seen on their trips, even if its not required by their school.Malia may use her cellphone only on the weekend, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a com

32、puter for anything but homework during the week.Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.Malia must learn to do the laundry (洗衣服) before she leaves for college.The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot as

33、k for cookies or chips later.While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “ They are not little princess. Its just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”Michelle also mentioned another set of rules:The girls must do their chores (家務(wù)), though the White House

34、has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.They must play a team sport, because its about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your

35、 thoughts on the Obama familys rules?56. Whats the passage mainly about?A. The first familys daily life. B. The first familys rules.C. How to be good parents. D. How to be good students.57.

The girls must do their chores though there might be lots of help around.C. The girls must play a team sport to gain team spirit by working together.D.

37、The parents want to make the girls grow healthily as common Children.BHaving a large collection of books at home doesnt really mean that you are a person who loves reading. They may be got from your father and your fathers father or they can just impress people around you with the fact that you are

38、a person of culture.From my point of view, reading is very important in our lives. For example, reading is a means of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the po

39、ssibility to speak about science, even if you dont work in this field; you can express your opinion about a political event at least, because you have read something about that.Reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can dream in the world of the rich or imagine what l

40、ife will be like in the future.Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common p

41、eople, they often face the same problems as we all do and suffer like us, too.In short, I would like to say that reading is the perfect means of enriching our culture, expressing correctly and having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be an er

42、udite person.59. In the writers opinion, some people have many books at home only to _ .make their house look more beautifulshow that their father is a person of cultureimpress others with the fact that they love reading very muchshow that they are rich enough to have such a collection of books60.

What is the authors purpose by writing the passage?To share his own reading

44、experience.To distinguish (辨別) true readers.To attract people to reading.To stress the importance of imagination.CHolding a cellphone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cellphone manufacturers include in small print, which is o

45、ften ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesnt want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research in Motion, BlackBerrys manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.If health issues arise from cellphone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice callsAmericans chat

46、 on cellphones 2.26 trillion (萬億) minutes annuallyearn109 billion for the wireless carriers.Devra Davis, an expert who works for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book Disconnect about cellphone radiation. The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.Bra

47、in cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Overall, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cellphones arrived.

48、oints to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.Children are more vulnerable (易受傷的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult wil

49、l reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid (易吸收的液體). No studies have yet been completed on cellphone radiation and children, she says.Herry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the Universit

50、y of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phones speaker.

52、hones more often than adults.Because their skulls are thinner and their brains are easily hurt.64. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?Pregnant women should keep cellphones away.People should use cellphones in a correct way.If you are a child, youd better text than make phone calls.When you use a cellphone, use wired headsets or the phones speaker.65.What does the passage mainly talk about?Be careful when using cellphones.Dont hold your cellphones against your ear.Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains.Low-energy radiati
