Questions 1620 are based on the following passage.
I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. (86) Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoons (茧) and entered a larger one.
(87) It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the only kind of popularity that really counts.
16. In the passage, the author wants to tell ________
A. readers how to be popular with people around
B. people how to understand and respect each other

D. have much difficulty understanding each other
18. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. There is no popularity that really counts.
B. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.
C. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.
D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the
same.

Questions 2125 are based on the following passage.
In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. (88) The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “1 do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.

D. comparing their speech with that of native speakers
24. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not _ __.

25. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that .

Questions 2630 are based on the following passage
During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy. A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation () does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
(89) The debate goes on. but one thins appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis (自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
26. The passage indicates that a state of deep relaxation is not only good for one’s body, but also
beneficial to ________
A. heart beat
B. consciousness
C. muscle tension
D. sympathetic nervous system
27. People seem to agree that ________
A. sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
B. what people are struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
C. to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
D. structured consciousness relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
28. In the third paragraph, the phrase ?°getting there?± most probably means
A. arriving at one’s destination
B. getting what one wants most
C. reaching a state of deep relaxation
D. finding out a suitable relaxation technique
29. As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that ?a_____
A. aims are more important than means
B. means are more important than aims
C. some relaxation techniques are better than others
D. more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques
30. The author’s attitude toward relaxation is best described as
A. critical B. objective C. optimistic D. subjective
Questions 3135 are based on the following passage.
I am not a computer expert. 1 never learned much in the way of math. A
nd I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.
Then why am I able to write about computers? I can write on this subject because of these shortcomings. The last two years of learning has been a severe test for me. By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well, and to work with people who know a great deal more than I. Since I have learned all this at such personal cost, I would like to share my knowledge with others.
The best way to learn is to take a course. However, many people do not have the time for this. They will have to find some other way to get basic information. I hope to be able to help them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.
I have a home computer on which I have learned in my own time. I have used it like a home study course. I have sat down with it day after day, night after night, I have forced it to give up some of its secrets. Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for. And I can do this work in my own home, instead of in an office. Many people may soon be working on a computer at home, just as many now take in other people’s typing.
Some things about computers are easier than you may fear. First, computers are logical. Things that at first seem difficult will make sense to you after you learn the rules. Second, it is really not hard to learn enough to use today’s machines. You do not need to be a great brain. But you do have to learn to think in new ways. And you do have to keep a good bit of information in your head. (90) Finally, there are many people around who are really enthusiastic about computers. These people are always happy to be of help.

Competition and Cooperation
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life today. We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and we often compete for jobs, customers, money, and so on. To some extent, we can say, competition is an important motive force of the development of society.
We often find competition and cooperation occurring at the same time. For example, during a football game, one team is competing with the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. In most cases, we can’t compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important.
While we are advocating competition, we can’ t forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially important, because most work is finished with and through other people. So we must combine competition with cooperation to reach our goals.
