There are only 12 shopping days until Christmas，and
the British public is going present-shopping
crazy．But
some parents might have left it too late to buy the present
their child really wants for Christmas．
Every year there seems to be a
certain craze which sweeps across Britain，whether
through clever marketing or peer pressure(同龄人压力)，so
that practically every child in the country wants the same
thing for Christmas．
Of
course，with
thousands of parents trying to make their child’s Christmas，it’s
quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out
before everyone can buy one．This
leads to parents going to extraordinary lengths to find the
desired gift．
In
past years，the
most favoured toys have included Tracy Island，from
the“Thunderbirds”TV
series，and
Buzz Light year，from
the“Toy
Story”film．This
year must-have
present is the Nintendo Wii，an
indication that British children are becoming more and more
technologically savvy(有见识的)．
Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists
this year are several toys related to TV program，such
as popular science-fiction
series“Doctor
Who”．and
pre-school
sense“In
the Night Garden”，as
well as the main character from the“Transformers”movie．
As
parents desperately(拼命地)
search shops and online retailers(零售商)
for the gifts their children want，some
people are cashing in．Those
who predicted the trends bought some of the top presents
earlier in the year，and
can now sell them for great profits online．
Special stock-check
websites have been set up to warn parents as soon as a
certain item becomes available anywhere．But
with so many people signed up it’ll still be a race against
time to buy the toys before they sell out again．
Some children will inevitably(不可避免地)
be disappointed on Christmas morning，but
let’s hope that the chocolates，Christmas
dinner and the many other presents will make up for it．

How to Build a Windbreak to Protect Soil
Farmers use different kinds of soil conservation
methods to protect their land against damage from farming
and the forces of nature．One
important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks．
Windbreaks are barriers(栅栏)
formed by trees and other plants with many leaves．Farmers
plant them in lines around their fields．
Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away．They
also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops．They
are very important for growing grains，such
as wheat．
There have been studies done on windbreaks．Studies
in parts of West Africa，for
example，found
that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields
protected by windbreaks．This
was compared to fields without such protection．
Windbreaks can help protect a farmer’s land．However，windbreaks
seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass
through．If
the wall of trees and plants blocks the wind completely，then
violent air motions will take place close to the ground．These
motions cause the soil to lift up into the air where it will
be blown away．
For
this reason，a
windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of
the trees and plants needed to make a solid line．
An
easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas
up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the
windbreak．
There should bb at least two lines in each windbreak．One
line should be large trees．The
second line，fight
next to it，can
be shorter trees and other plants with leaves．Locally
grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks．
Windbreaks not only protect land and crops from the wind．They
can also provide wood products．These
include wood for fuel and longer pieces for making’fences．

Many people have described television as a passive activity that is harmful to children's education. However, there are good and bad ways to watch television. Parents who are interested in exploiting television as a learning tool can actually turn time in front of TV into an educational chance.
Probably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programs. In particular, this means selecting channels and programs specially designed for educational purposes. Along with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting channels, cable television（有线电视）now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs, with everything from nature shows to historical events in different countries.
Captioning（字幕）such as "closed captioning" for hearing disabled viewers provides another way for parents to exploit the educational possibilities of television. One study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral reading ability. In addition, parents can make any show a learning class by watching television together with children. By actively joining children in the programs that they are watching, parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting（预见）and summarizing. In order to develop predicting skills, parents and children could first refer to a program's description in a viewing guide. After reading the program description and guessing what might happen in the program, parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correct. And to practice summarizing, after watching a program, parents can turn off the TV and ask what the story was about. This kind of activity helps children develop thinking skills such as arranging events in an order and memorizing information.
Although there will still be plenty of times when children watch TV simply for passive enjoyment, parents can help make at least part of their children's viewing time a more productive activity. Used intelligently by exploiting the learning chances available through various programs, television can play an instructive role in children's education.
44. Which activity is NOT suggested in the passage?
A. Talking about TV shows.
B. Watching: captions on TV.
C. Enjoying films about nature.
D. Watching shows for homework.
45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Parents can simply make any show a learning class for their children.
B. To make watching TV a more productive activity parents should include themselves in the producing process.
C. Most parents have changed their attitude to their kids' watching TV become positive to the problem.
D.
In a way, it is how parents act that leads to whether watching TV may do good or not to their children.
46. We can infer from the last paragraph that _________.
A. not every minute when a child watches television must be educational
B. children should not use television for passive enjoyment
C. some children prefer reading to watching television
D. television offers more learning chances than school
47. Which of the following questions is the major one discussed in the passage?
A. What makes television more interesting than books?
B. Why should schools put television into classrooms?
C. How can parents use television as a teaching tool?
D. Which program can actually make kids smarter?
D
When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world's great religions（宗教）order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally（道德方面）right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil（恶行）. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs .Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.
48. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Moral deeds of people.
B. Religious activities of the church.
C. Moral goodness of the giver.
D. Arguments on giving to beggars.
49. What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?
A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.
B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.
C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.
D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.
50. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.
B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
51. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because________.
A. the cases can be so different
B. there are so many beggars
C. there is so much money wasted
D. there are so many different arguments

Having crossed mountains and plains, rivers and lakes, some of France's greatest works of art are now on display at China's National Museum of Fine Arts. Fifty-one impressionist paintings are forming part of an exhibition in Beijing to kick off the Year of France.
The show is being held in the capital between October 10 to November 27. Then it will move on to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
"It is such a good opportunity to see the masters' work up close," said Feng Jiajia, a Senior 3 student from the High School Affiliated to the Academy of Art and Design. Although Feng is very busy with his studies at the moment he says he will definitely make time to see the exhibition. "I hope it will inspire me and help me with my own work," he said.
Worth a total of US $600 million, the paintings are by French Impressionist masters, including Monet（莫奈）, Cezanne（赛尚）, Renoir （雷诺阿） and Degas （德加）.
As an art style, Impressionism was developed in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their work was a fresh and original way of painting. It seems that the artists painted a scene after just a quick look at it.
Often painting outside, rather than in a studio, the artists observed nature more directly and tried to capture individual moments in time especially the changing light of the sun. They avoided black and earth colors and as a result their work is often very bright and can also look like that it is shimmering（闪光）.
When they first appeared, the artists were criticized for not finishing their paintings and for being lazy. Critics said the Impressionists were satisfied with just a few inexact brushstrokes（笔画）instead of completing a real painting. It was an art critic who first used the term "Impressionist" in a review of Monet' s work "Impression, Sunrise" (1873 ) to satirize（讽刺）his loose, inexact manner of painting.
"Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love," said Monet.
Monet is the leading figure in the creation of Impressionism. He painted sunlit rivers and gardens with forceful brush-strokes and bright colors, in which objects lose their shape in the light. Monet' s painting reached its height in his later life with his paintings of water lilies.
52. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Monet is the leading figure in the creation of Impressionism.
B. The show of fifty-one Impressionists' paintings will move on to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
C. Impressionism was developed in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
D. Fifty-one Impressionists' paintings are now on display in Beijing as part of the Year of France.
53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. We can see other French art works at China's National Museum of Fine Arts besides the Impressionists' paintings.
B. People can buy French Impressionist masters' paintings at China' s National Museum of Fine Arts.
C. Beijing is the first place where the Impressionists' paintings are on display.
D. Monet's most expensive works are the paintings of water lilies.
54. Which of the following is likely to be an Impressionist's painting?
A. Portrait of God.
B. A girl with a vase.
C. Thunder and lightening.
D. Beautiful lake in the sunshine.
55. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Most of the paintings by the Impressionists were finished in a hurry or unfinished.
B. People didn't like the Impressionists' paintings when they came into being.
C. The Impressionists painted a scene after just a quick look at it.
D. Impressionists finished their paintings according to their imagination.
