第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2分,满分40分）
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A.
A home computer not only helps children master the old ways of learning, but also opens up possibilities that simply aren’t available in traditional education. Some software, for example, allows kids to make decisions and see the results in different situations. The World Wide Web encourages young minds to move easily from link to link, topic to topic. The best software draws children into learning by making them curious—what if I click on this picture, drag this over here, visit that website?
Knowing how to use a computer also encourages a child’s confidence. Kids figure out quickly that computers are powerful, and mastering the machine makes them feel grown up. In turn, feeling confident on a computer often translates to academic confidence. Researchers have found that attitudes toward writing, for example, improve when students write on a computer.
Perhaps most importantly, computers can enrich family life. Forget the idea that computer kids are separated. Children like to use the computer with adults and other kids, asking questions and comparing results. “The Internet is a unique opportunity to bring resources home,” notes Susan Haugland, PhD, Cape Girardeau, Mo., author of Computers and Young Children: A World of Discovery.
Although the benefits of computers are real, they have disadvantages, too. Kids can lose their way, wasting hours on mindless software or violent games. Just as parents have always helped children make good choices about everything from friends to food , books to TV, now we must make sure they get the best out of computers.
21.the passage is mainly talking about___________.
A.the disadvantages of children’s using computers
B.the advantages of children’s using computers
C.the development of computers
D.the fact that using computers makes children lose their way
22.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a home computer?
A.It provides new ways of learning. B.It encourages children’s confidence.
C.It can enrich family life. D.Kids can play violent games on it.
23.What effects do computers have on family life?
A.They reduce the connection between family members.
B.They destroy the relationship between parents and kids.
C.They provide more opportunities of communication.
D.They make all the family members study together.
24.According to the last paragraph, we can learn that we should ___________.
A.let children use computers freely
B.forbid children to use computers in their spare time
C.permit children to use any software they like
D.help children make good use of the computers

It’s easier to float in the ocean than it is to float in a swimming pool. Do you know why?

Cyprus (塞浦路斯) has over 320 days of sunshine every year and the temperature seldom drops below 180C even in winter. So if it’s sunshine holidays you are after then perhaps you should consider taking your next vacation in Cyprus.

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。
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. Here are the experts’ top tips.
Take an interest— make an effort
36 .This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more the better.
Repeat things
Repeating things is the best way to remember things for a short time, e.g. remember a phone number for a few seconds. 37 , e.g. the following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in “chucks(块)” , and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483.
Invent a story
Tom remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the items you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. 38 , on average they could remember ninety percent of them!
Organize your idea
If we organize what we know in a logical way then when we learn more about that subject, we understand that better, and so add to our knowledge more easily. Make well-organized notes. 39 . If not, ask questions until you understand!
Take physical exercise
40 , because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress, which is very bad for the memory.
A.When they were tested afterwards
B.Be sure things are clear in your mind
C.Grouping numbers helps you to remember them
D.Physical exercise is also important for your memory
E.Another way to improve memory is to get enough rest
F.Listening to classical music helps people to organize their ideas clearly
G.We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us
