第三部分：阅读理解.本部分仅有两篇文章。从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A
Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny.
Research shows that students are extremely passionate(热情的)about supporting charity（慈善）--- 88％of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high because this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19％ of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than￡5，000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not possible.
Beth Truman, a 21 years old recent university graduate has used Everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”
Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.
Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.
31．According to the passage, “wugging” is actually a _______.
A. website B. charity-related action
C. school organization D. student movement
32．How does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement?
A. It makes Everyclick.com popular in the UK.
B. It makes giving to charity easy.
C. It results in students being more social awareness.
D. it stresses the importance of charity in people’s daily lives.
33．From the passage, we can conclude that _______.
A. most full time students contribute to charity on the Internet every day
B. Everyclick.com helps students pay for the college education
C. “Wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charities
D. Everyclick.com is the most successful search engine in the UK
34．What would be the best title for this passage?
A. “Wugging”, a New Popular Term（术语）on the Internet
B. British People Show Strong Interest in Charity
C. More Britain Charities Benefit from the Internet
D. Students Raise Money for Charity by “wugging”
B
As the school year comes to an end, many senior students of school across the nation will not just be starting another summer of holidays to provide a break during semesters. Leaving their safe havens (安全港), many of them are to take their first step into the world of adulthood, attending fast-paced, crowded universities, taking up part-time or full-time employment. Many may even move from family homes in their pursuit of educational fulfillment or the “perfect” job opportunity.
One ceremony that has become part of coming of age has been the senior prom (毕业舞会). The senior prom is an opportunity for youth to celebrate the entrance into the world of adulthood with color and formality. However, there is far more behind the social event than ever noticed.
What is formal? Formal means to present one’s self to others in a way which is “with form”, with shape, polite, inoffensive and organized. We see the example of a formal letter; it uses proper grammar and sentence structure in order to be respectful, while at the same time serving a purpose or getting an important message across.
In our society, what is formal? Very little. On average, clothing, language, behavior --- all is very informal. Individuals who are formal (polite, inoffensive, organized) in their daily dealings with people are often looked upon as boring. Yet in certain situations, individuals play with the concept of formality not truly to achieve respectfulness and order but because it becomes fashionable to do so. While a prom may seem, on the surface, like a fun opportunity to behave formally, it is actually a flowery version of Halloween.
On the occasion of the spring prom, we see flowering youth taking on the formalities of “adult”. Fine dress, careful makeup, luxury cars all become part of being an adult. But being “adult” isn’t that way.
In our society we have a wrong idea of what adulthood actually is. It has always been my understanding that adulthood and maturity (成熟) are not based upon one’s ability to hold a cigarette in a certain way or tie a bow tie. Adulthood comes with understanding of one’s place in the universe; it comes with the knowledge of how to interact with our fellow human beings; it comes with the ability to take responsibility for one’s own actions --- whether good or bad.
35．The “safe havens” (Paragraph 1) most probably refers to ______.
A. families B. high schools C. mother countries D. hometowns
36．In paragraph 3, the example of letter is given in order to ______.
A. show the importance of communication
B. discuss the purpose of a formal letter
C. explain what real “formal” is like
D. complain today’s letters are too formal
37．By describing a prom as “a flowery version of Halloween” in the fourth paragraph, the writer means it is ______.
A. great fun B. out of fashion C. actually informal D. beautifully decorated
38．The writer holds the opinion that being an adult means one can______.
A. put on heavy makeup B. better get on with others
C. learn to smoke cigarettes D. buy a luxury car or dress
第II卷（非选择题）
第一节：阅读表达。阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题，然后将答案填入相应的位置上。(请注意答题后的词数要求)。
Everyone has talent, but not everyone succeeds with their talent. More factors than mere talent attribute to a greater personal success. Having talent or being talented is never enough to find success in life.
Dr. John Maxwell has written a new book to explain that there is more to success than just being talented. He says that the only way to find success in life is to apply good choices to talent and rise above the crowd. He believes that talented people need more than their gifts or abilities to succeed in life. There must be something more than just talent to become successful. A talent-plus person, a person who rises above the understanding of mere talent, is much more likely to find success than those with just talent alone.
People who have talent must be willing to make the right choices to maximize their talent. Wrong choices will minimize their talent, preventing them from rising to higher levels in life. Maximizing talent requires people to make good choices, but understanding that there are specific things in life requires no talent at all. Maxwell lists many different choices that people make to become a talent-plus persons including Belief lifts talent, Relationships influence talent, Responsibility strengthens talent, Teamwork multiplies talent, etc.
Following the simple principles found in the book can not only help people raise the level of their talent but also raise their level of living. When people combine the principles with their talents they can become a talent-plus person. The choice becomes one of willingness and personal change. Talent-plus people have the ability to change their life and the world.
1．What’s the possible name of Maxwell’s new book? (within 8 words)
2．What should one do if he wants to become a talent-plus person?(within8 words)
3．List three specific things which can maximize one’s talent according to Paragraph 3 ?(within 5 words)
