To begin building structure, teens need love and trust. They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support. Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them — not their growing maturity (成熟),misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions.There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close. One way is to spend time together. Parents often mistake their teens' increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family.Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as spending time together. As your teens mature, it is important for you and your teens spend time alone together, one to one. Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present.Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns. Make sure you really show interest in what is happening. When talking with your teens, give full attention and do not stop them.The way to help your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world. Sharing your emotions and concerns with your teens is important. Avoid causing needless worry.Trust your teens. Don't expect the worst. Hope for the best. Telling your teens you don't like their friends will cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didn't do it on purpose.It is very important that you treat your teens with respect. Teens need the same respect adults show for total strangers. Don't talk down to your teens.You need to be supportive of your teens. What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens. Teens don't have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature, they can look back at some problems they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant.The most important things to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life.（1）According to Paragraph 1, teens ______________.A . can control themselves.B . expect direction and freedom.C . don't know how to make decisionsD . don't have responsibility for the family（2）The underline part "counted as" in Paragraph 3 probably means "____".A . compared withB . used asC . connected withD . regarded as（3）To help teens organize their lives , parents should __________.A . invite their teens' friends homeB . leave their teens' problems alone.C . share their feelings with their teens.D . pay little attention to their teens' daily lives.（4）What is the best title of the passage ?A . Training Teens to Become Responsible Adults.B . Helping Teens to Build Reasonable Structure.C . Improving the Relationship with Your Teens.D . Stepping into Your Teens' Secret Word.3. （10分）阅读理解TV ProgramsChannel 1 Channel 218:00 Around China 17:45 computer today18:30 Children's programs 18:10 Foreign arts19:00 News 18:30 English classroom 19:30 Weather report 19:00 Animal world19:40 Around the world 19:25 China 9920:10 TV play: sisters 20:20 Sports21:00 English for today 21:00 TV play: Guo Lanying21:15 Popular music 21:45 English news21:55 Talk show 22:05 On TV next week（1）If you want to watch a football game the best program for you would be _____A .

Some are native (当地的) to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles (鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages (笼子).We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was veryexciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly (令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir (纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary (吓人的) with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species (种类) they had. I saw an old parrot which could "talk". It made a great impression on me.I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.（1）Why didn't the writer want to get very close to the crocodiles?A . They lived in water.B . The writer was afraid of them.C . The writer did not want to feed them.D . The writer did not like the smell of saltwater.（2）Which of the following is true?A . The kangaroos are kept in cages in the Wildlife Park.B . The writer travelled to the Wildlife Park alone.C . The writer went to see koalas first.D . The writer watched a bird show.（3）Where is the Wildlife Park?A . In Sydney.B . In Cairo.C . In Athens.D . In Rome.（4）How did the writer feel after visiting the Wildlife Park?A . Excited.B . Unhappy.C . Bored.D . Hopeless.（5）What is a wonderful souvenir of the writer's holiday?A . A parrot that could talk.B . A chance to feed a koala.C . A photo with a koala.D . Food for the kangaroos.（6）Why didn't the writer want to get very close to the crocodiles?A . They lived in water.B . The writer was afraid of them.C . The writer did not want to feed them.D . The writer did not like the smell of saltwater.（7）Which of the following is true?A . The kangaroos are kept in cages in the Wildlife Park.B . The writer travelled to the Wildlife Park alone.C . The writer went to see koalas first.D . The writer watched a bird show.（8）How did the writer feel after visiting the Wildlife Park?A . Excited.B . Unhappy.C . Bored.D . Hopeless.5. （10分）Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say, "How do you do? "and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven't met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.（1）It is ____ if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.A . not usefulB . not helpfulC . very helpfulD . very bad（2）English people usually shake hands when they ______.A . meet every timeB . meet for the first timeC . say goodbye to each otherD . say hello to each other（3）Usually English people don't shake hands _______.A . when they will be away for a long timeB . when they say "How do you do? "C . when they just meet or say goodbyeD . after they haven't met for a long time（4）Which of the statement（陈述）is right?A . German people shake hands as often as possible.B . English people like shaking hands very much.C . German people hardly shake hands.D . Neither English people nor Germans like shaking hands. （5）This story is about _______.A . shaking handsB . customsC . languagesD . languages and customs三、选词填空 (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）选择方框内合适的词(组)填空。

He was surprised to see all the roles in kabuki were played by men, even if the characters were women!

Everyone in the village had jobs to do, and the villagers depended on one another. When Adana turned ten, hermother called for her.“Adana, it is time for you to take your place in the village. You shall be the water girl. Each morning we need you to go down to the spring, fill these buckets with water, and bring them back to the village before noon.”Adana took pride in being given such an important job. She picked up the yoke with the buckets, flung it over her back, and walked to the spring. When she arrived, she took a drink and then filled the buckets with clean, cool water. Adana looked at the sun. It was nearly noon, and she knew the villagers were depending on her.She turned to a water girl from a nearby village and asked, “How long will it take to carry water back to my village?”The girl thoughtfully replied, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But, if you go fast, it will take you all day.”Adana listened and thought about what the girl had told her. She did not believe the girl, and she climbed back up the bank and headed down to the path toward her village. Adana started off slowly, but increased her speed with each step. Soon, she was slowly jogging back toward her village. Halfway home, she stopped to take a little sip of water. When she did, she saw that the buckets were only half full. Water had been sloshing out along the path as she traveled.Disheartened, Adana turned back toward the spring. Once again, she filled the buckets with nice, clean water. Then, she walked slowly back toward the village.When she arrived, her little sister asked, “How long does it take to carry water back from the spring?”Adana smiled and said, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But if you go fast, it could take all day.” Adana’s little sister listened, but thought this was an odd thing to say. From that day forward, Adana walked quickly to the spring each morning. On her way home, she walked slowly and carefully.24.

Remember not to stop to talk to others when there’s a job to be done.CAttachment is not just a connection between two people; it’s a tie that involves a desire for regular contact with that person and the experience of pain during separation from that person.According to psychologist John Bowlby, there are four critical characteristics of attachment. The first is the desire to be near those with whom we share an attachment since we are happy while staying with them. Attachments also create a safe shelter, meaning that during times of pain, fear, or uncertainty, we may seek out the people we’re attached to for care and comfort. Next, attachment figures also offer a secure base for exploration. This is particularly important during childhood. This secure base allows kids to explore the world while they know they can still return to the safety of the attachment figure. Finally, we experience separation pain when parted from an attachment figure. For example, kids tend to become upset when parents have to leave them in the care of others.Attachment serves a number of important purposes. For instance, it helps keep babies and children close to their caregivers so that they can avoid potential dangers, which in turn helps increase their chances of survival. However, if a child doesn’t form a secure attachment to a caregiver, he or she will suffer from a number of problems including conduct disorder and oppositional-defiant (对立反抗的) disorder. Researchers also suggest that the type of attachment displayed early in life can have a lasting effect on later adult relationships.Psychologist Harry Harlow conducted an experiment on social isolation (孤立)in monkeys. Baby monkeys were separated from their mothers and placed withsurrogate mothers (代母). One mother was simply a wire armature (支架) that helda bottle, while the other mother was covered with a soft terrycloth material. Harlowfound that the baby monkeys would receive food from the wire mother, but preferred to spend most of their time with the soft mother. When compared to monkeys that had been raised by their birth mothers, the monkeys raised by surrogate mothers were shyer and more nervous and suffered from social and emotional problems.All in all, developing secure and healthy attachments early in life is very important. Such attachments play a vital role in our future development.27. The underlined phrase “seek out” probably means“______”.A. try to findB. start to likeC. want to hideD. plan to leave28. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. people should avoid attachment because it makes them suffer from painB. Bowlby believes that attachment figures are especially important for childrenC. Harlow found that baby monkeys preferred to receive food from the soft motherD. the type of attachment shown early in life only has a short-term effect on people29. The writer mentions Harlow’s experiment in order to show ______.A. the researchers’ hard work on attachment early in lifeB. the benefits of having healthy attachments early in lifeC. the effect of the type of attachment shown early in lifeD. the important characteristics of attachment early in lifeDSince December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previously unknown virus: novel coronavirus (新冠病毒).It’s not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.What are they? Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物). They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.Unlike bacteria (细菌), viruses can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: where did viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.”Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts—not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved (进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.30. What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A. They only infect animals and plants.B. They reproduce by finding a host cell.C. They are really small living organisms.D. They are more dangerous than bacteria.31. The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.A. creativeB. effectiveC. reasonableD. unbelievable32. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author is confident about further virus studies.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.D. It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses.33. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
