A
A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
―We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,‖ says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
The genes (基因) you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected (影响) may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated (无关的) people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.
Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored (忽视) or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits (好处), Ferrer said.
56.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
A.Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B.Because her parents used to quarrel.
C.Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D.Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
57.According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements (陈述) is TRUE?
A.We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B.Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C.Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
D.Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
58.The underlined word ―coma‖ in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
A. embarrassment (尴尬)
B. faint
C. tiredness
D. sadness
59. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Family relations.
B. The reasons why we get sick.
C. Happy family makes you healthy.
D. A research about teenagers’ health.
B
King Alfred of England once led his army to fight with another army and was beaten. So he had to run away through the woods and swamps (沼泽) to save his life.
One evening he came to a woodcutter’s hut. He was very tired and hungry, so he begged the woodcutter’s wife to give him something to eat and a place to sleep in. He
was ragged and dirty and she did not know that he was the king. She felt so sorry for him that she told him to come in and gave him a seat near the fire. She was baking some cakes. She said to King Alfred, ―I must go and milk the cow. Watch the cakes and do not let them burn.‖
The king was willing to do this, but he kept thinking about his army and soon forgot all about the cakes. In a few minutes the woman came back and found the cakes burning. She was so angry that she struck the king with a stick and cried, ―You lazy fellow! You want to eat, but you do not want to work.‖
60. We can know from the passage that ________.
A.King Alfred won the fight with another army
B.King Alfred found a woodcutter’s hut without any difficulty
C.knowing that man was the king, the woodcutter’s wife gave him a seat near the fire
D.King Alfred was rather too hungry and promised to watch the cakes
61.Why did the cakes get burning?
A.Because the king didn’t know how to bake cakes.
B.Because the king kept thinking and forgot all about them.
C.Because the king was very lazy.
D.Because the king only wanted to eat instead of working.
62.It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ________.
A.a woodcutter saved King Alfred’s life
B.though the woodcutter’s wife struck the king with a stick, she was a kind-hearted
woman
C.King Alfred got the cakes burning on purpose (故意), which made the
woodcutter’s wife angry
D.King Alfred would kill the woodcutter’s wife later on.
C
Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion（宗教）tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.
63.According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that
parents usually do to punish them is to ________.
A. strike them on the bottom
B. try to help them do the right thing
C. teach them what to do
D. take them to court
64.Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?
A.It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her.
B.The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.
C.Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.
D.It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right.
65.Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude (态度) towards
spanking?
A. favorable (赞同的)
B. indifferent (不关心)
C. interested
D. unfavorable
66. From this passage, we can conclude (作出结论) that ________.
A.Good children always do the right thing.
B.Parents should try their best to avoid (避免) spanking their children.
C.Parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong.
D.Children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked.
D
Some kids start to drink alcohol (酒精) at a young age. They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品). It is easy for kids to get liquor by using fake identification (伪造证件).
Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s beh avior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.
Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.
Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.
Give the children good ideas on how to say ―no‖ to drinking, even when they are at a party. Try not to overreact or panic (惊慌) if the child tries alcohol. How you handle it can affect their attitude. It may be helpful to talk to other parents about setting up curfews (宵禁令) and rules about parties or other events.
67. Which of the following is NOT the reason why some kids have an early start of drinking?
A.They want to show their maturity (成熟) by drinking alcohol.
B.Drinking alcohol is much cooler than taking drugs.
C.They are affected by many other people around them.
D.They can get liquor easily.
68.According to the passage, what changes may happen to the kids who start
drinking?
A.Nothing serious will happen to them.
B.They keep the same eating and sleeping habits.
C.They can control their moods quite well.
D.Sometimes they act secretly.
69.According to the writer, if parents find their children try alcohol, they had better
__________.
A. punish them at once
B. ask the police for help
C.ask their children’s friends for help
D.set up curfews and rules about parties or other events with other parents
70.Which is the main subject discussed in the passage?

B. Teen education.
C. Teen drinking
D. Parents’ worries.

Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.
Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.
Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any ―leisure‖ until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.
But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.
―You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,‖ said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.
―On Saturday you are recovering from the week,‖ Biggs added. ―Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.‖
In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. ―Now men seem to do that as much as women,‖ said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.
Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football —before lunch.
71. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.
A. They have no time to cook at home.
B. They get up too late.
C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.
D. They will go to church.
72. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.
B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.
C. British women did their shopping on Sundays in the past.
D. British men did little housework at home in the past.
73. The underlined word ― leisure‖ in Para 3 means ___________.
A. housework
B. shopping
C. lunch
D. free time
74. The text mainly tells us ________.
A. what Britons did on Sundays
B. why Britons go shopping on Sundays
C. How Britons spend their holidays
D. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays
75. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Men do more housework on Sundays.
B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.
C. No people go to church on Sundays now.
D. Britons all go out on Sundays.
