Car TalkWhen I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot．Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me．It wasn't that sh e shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly．As you can imagine, my mother's"helpful inst ructions"only managed to make me more nervous．Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father．Th e idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me．I loved him dearly, but I just did no t see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from．He almost never talked．We sh ared a typical father-daughter relationship．He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine．Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations．Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me．As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened．Dad and I dro ve around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn．As my lessons went on, however, things began to change．Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully a ppreciate his favorite Stones music．And he actually began talking．I was soon hearing abo ut past failed dates, "basic body"gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of hi s first meeting with Mom．Dad's sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car．In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen．Homework, fri ends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my qu iet father had anything to say．Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased．More important, th ough, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased．Just living with him was n't enough-it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery．（1）The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because________．A she couldn't talk with her mother ．B her father wanted to teach her．C her mo ther made her nervous.D she didn't trust her mother．（2）At first，the idea of learning driving from her father made her________．A happy.B uneasy.C satisfied.D disappointed．（3）What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on？________A Her Dad liked modern music．B Her Dad was the best teacher．C Her Dad was a chatty person．D Her Dad told her his sad stories．（4）With her story"Car Talk"，the author indicates that________．A fathers love their daughters dearly．B mothers are less patient than fathers．C f amily members need real communication．D it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationship．29. Now Hear ThisWhat do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have i n common．'? Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now w ear hearing aids as a consequence．As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band．Tow nshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who．He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss f rom exposure to loud music．Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15minutes of listening to loud music．One e arly warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock co ncert or through headphones．One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert．"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead, "sa ys physician and ear specialist Dr．Sam Levine．According to Dr．Levine, if you avoid furth er exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat．However, he add s, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged．"And this is no small problem．What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr．Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85decibels （分贝） is considered dangerous．The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to cert ain sounds．Here's another measurement you can use．If you're at a rock concert and the m usic is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you're at risk for hearing loss．That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical．The facts are pretty frightening．But are rock bands turning down the volume．'? Most ar en't．"Rock music is supposed to be loud, "says drummer Andrew Sather．"I wouldn't have i t any other way．And neither would the real fans of rock．"Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, ac cording to Dr．Levine．He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss．Your ears are trying to tell you something．That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying．Each time that happ ens, more and more damage is done．"Levels of Common NoisesNormal conversation 50-65dBFood blender 88dBJet plane flying above a person standing outside 103dBRock band during a concert 110-140d（1）From Paragraph 1，we can learn that________．A loud music is a major cause of hearing loss．B famous people tend to have hearing pr oblems．C teenagers should stay away from school bands．D the problem of heari ng damage is widely known．（2）In Paragraph 3，the underlined word"recondition"means________．A not to be seen.B to fill with sound．C to become larger in size.D to make goo d again．（3）The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show________．A a list of harmful sounds．B the effect of rock concerts．C the noise levels of fami liar sounds．D relationship between daily activities and hearing loss．（4）Which of the following statements will Dr．Sam Levine probably agree？________A When your ears feel warm，your hair cells are dead． B Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice． C Many are taking the risk of losing hearing． D Doctors know how to cure hearing loss．30. Whether we should allow marine （海洋的） parks to stay open has been widely debated in our community recently．A variety of dif ferent arguments have been put forward about it．Smith, a sociologist, argued that dolphin parks provide the only opportunity for much of th e public to see marine mammals．As this argument goes, most Australians live in cities and never get to see these animals．Marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife．However, in fact, there are many places where they can be seen in the wild ．Moreover, these places do not charge an overpriced entry fee-they are free．Dr．Alison Lane, the director of the Cairns Marine Science Institute, insists that we need m arine parks for scientific research．She argues that much of our knowledge of marine mam mals comes from studies which were undertaken at marine parks．The knowledge which is obtained at marine parks can be useful for planning for the preservation of marine mammal species．However, Jones, a zoologist, explains that park research is only useful for understan ding captive animals and is not useful for learning about animals in the wild．Their diets are different, they have significantly lower life lengths and they are more likely to have a disease ．In addition, marine mammals in dolphin parks are trained and this means that their patter ns of social behaviour are changed．The Marine Park Owners Association holds that marine parks attract a lot of foreign touris ts．This position goes on to state that these tourists spend a lot of money, increasing our for eign exchange earnings and assisting our national balance of payments．However, foreign to urists would still come to Australia if the parks were closed down．Indeed, surveys of overse as tourists show that they come here for a variety of other reasons and not to visit places like Seaworld．Tourists come here to see our native wildlife in its natural environment and not t o see it in cages and concrete pools．They can see animals in those conditions in their own c ountries．In a word, perhaps an agreement cannot be reached now．However, a question does deser ve our consideration: If we continue with our past crimes against these creatures, how will o ur future generations view us?（1）Who support（s） the idea of closing marine parks？________A Most Australians．B Alison Lane．C Smith．D Jones．（2）What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 3？________A The results from studies are valuable in animal preservation．B Scientific research at the marine parks has its limitations．C Captive animals have biology changes in marine parks．D Human behavior causes harmful effects on the animals．（3）Which is NOT the reason to keep marine parks？________A For entertainment purpose．B For scientific research purpose．C For economic purpose．D For political purpose．（4）The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by________．A pointing out the problems with keeping the marine parks．B using evidence he has c ollected at the marine parks．C discussing the advantages of animals'natural homes．D questioning the way the animals are studied．三.第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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．31.Stage FrightImagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time．You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage．Waiting behind the closed curtain，you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats．Then your big moment arrives!The curtain goes up，and the crowd falls silent．All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you．（1）_______The inside of your mouth is dry，and your hands are wet．If you have experienced a moment like this，you know all too well what it means to have stage fright．It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention．（2）_______People experience this fear when playing sports，giving a presentation，or even speaking in class．A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands，a dry mouth，a tight throat，or shaky knees．Stage fright is actually a form of panic，and these feelings are very real．（3）_______The experience differs from person to person，but the same chemical process occurs in each of us．In reaction to anxiety，our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly．Scientists refer to this as our bodies'"fight or flight"reaction．As a result，we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat，our hearts race，and our knees shake．（4）_______Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety．First，dress comfortably and appropriately．Second，before the performance，take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body．Third，stay away from drinks that contain caffeine．（5）_______ Instead，try a banana!Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body．Finally，when you look into a crowd，try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group．These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears．A．These might make your heart race even faster．B．You don't have to be onstage to get stage fright．C．Stage fright is part of the body's reaction to stress．D．You try to speak your lines，but nothing seems to come out．E．With practice，we can learn how to relax while playing sports．F．The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it．G．However，there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage．四.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）32. 假设你是红星中学高二（1）班的学生李华，下个月英国Saint Gorge High

Billy is blind.A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren't quit e as big as a normal baby's.“Billy would never be able to see,” the doctor told his mother. After that Billy's mother began talking to him, describing things she saw. She told him what she was cooking, or what she saw outside the window. She described everything to him.Billy does not only depend on his mother's descriptions to learn about the world around him. He sees with his ears and his hands, too. He has perfect hearing. When people make phone calls, he can tell the numbers they dial (拨)."He is very confident and his disability doesn't stop him from being an important part of theclass," his teacher said. "The students love him, and he is just one of them.”Billy loves computer science. He began teaching himself computer programming when he was just seven years old. His dream school would be Stanford University. He gets top grades in his classes, making that a real possibility.“You can't let excuses get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that you can't move forward and reach your goals," said Billy.50. From the passage, we know that ____.A. Billy can't hearB. Billy can't seeC. Billy can't walkD. Billy can't talk51. How did Billy s mother help him?A. By teaching him how to draw.B. By asking teachers for advice.C. By describing everything to him.D. By sending him to his dream school.52. When did Billy begin teaching himself computer programming?A. When he was 7 years old.B. When he was in Grade 5.C. When he was in high school.D. When he was at university.CHave you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls, sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitudes and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知)，which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That's how we make friends. That's how we learn about people. That's how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.53. From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who ____.A. is like themselvesB. has a sense of humorC. is open-mindedD. lives an exciting life54. People like staying in their comfort zone because they may ____.A. remain comfortable and specialB. be accepted easily and feel safeC. find out more interesting thingsD. discover differences among themselves55. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.B. To introduce ways to learn about the worldC. To explain how people communicate with others.D. To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.DTeens want structure in their lives, which means they want their lives well-planned. To begin building structure, teens needlove and trust. They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support (支持). 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 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.56. According to Paragraph 1, teens ____.A. can control themselvesB. expect direction and freedomC. don't know how to make decisionsD. don't have responsibility for the family57. The underlined part "counted as" in Paragraph 3 probably means "____ ".A. compared withB. used asC. connected withD. regarded as58. To help teens organize their lives, parents should ____.A. invite their teens' friends homeB. leave their teens' problems aloneC. share their feelings with their teensD. pay little attention to their teens' daily lives59. What is the best title of the passage?A. Training Teens to Become Responsible AdultsB. Helping Teens to Build Reasonable StructureC. Improving the Relationship with Your TeensD. Stepping into Your Teens' Secret World七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

CMost of the things around you will be replaced or thrown away someday. Where will they go when they are thrown out? What kinds of waste will t hey create, and how will it affect the environmentMost of our crash goes to places called landfills. A LANDFILL is a low area of land that is filled with garbage（垃圾）.Most modern landfills are lined with a cover of plastic to keep dangerous liquids（液体）from polluting earth and ground water supply. The problem is that more than half of the states in this country are running out of places to landfill their garbage. Because of the unhealthy materials, landfills do not make good neighbors，and people don’t want to live near them. Many landfills are set in poor neighborhoods.The Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, New York, was the largest garbage landfill in the world. For years, people who live nearby complained about air and water pollution caused by the enormous pile of trash. They say that the smoke have made people sick. The landfill closed in April 2001.Now can a harmful waste—material that can pollute air, land, and water –be disposed of in a safe way.Another way to get rid of trash is to burn it. Trash is burned in an incinerator._ Because incinerators in operation can get rid of almost all of the trash, some communities would rather use incinerators than landfills. There is a problem, though. Leftover ash and smoke from burning trash may have dangerous chemicals, and even make it hard for some people to breathe. They can harm plants, animals, and people.You can help reduce（减少）waste by reusing bottles, batteries, and paper. You can also recycle newspaper, glass, and plastics t to provide materials for making other products.From recycled materials, many things are made. For example, from recycled paper we can get newspapers, boxes and so on. From recycled plastic we can get soda bottles, tables, and backpacks.53. Why don’t landfills make good neighbors?A. Because there are unhealthy materials in them.B. Because people prefer to live in the city center.C. Because landfills are not big enough for trash.D. Because most states are running out of places.54. What does the underlined word ―incinerator‖_probably mean?A. An area to collect trash.B. A machine to burn trashC. A metho d that is used to burn trash.D.A station that is run by selling trash.55. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. How Is Trash Burned?B. What Can Be Reused.C. Why Is Waste Dangerous?D. Where Does Garbage Go?Nearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, t hey are bored. Their little brother is kicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜点). Yet their parents are still eating and ta lking…and talking…and talking.―Be patient.‖ One parent says. ―We’ll have dessert soon.‖All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are ―family-friendly‖. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every pla y area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(烦扰) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For oth ers, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.56. Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?A. Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.B. Because the dessert isn’t served in time.C. Because they can do nothing but wait.D. Because the food there isn’t delicious.57. What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?A. Children don’t like eating fancier food.B. Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.C. Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.D. People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.58. What conclusion can we draw from the research?A. It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good f ood and play areas.B. Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.C. Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.D. It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.59. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Cities need to help develop restaurant business.B. Children are supposed to be much more patient.C. Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.D. Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.朝阳CYou’re buying a used car, moving into a new house, or deciding which doctor should treat your illness. These are times when you need to get directly to the core (核心) of an important matter.Asking general questions gets little valuable information and may even result in unreal answers, says Julia Minson, a visiting scholar in decision sciences at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. The best way, says Minson, is to ask a lot of questions that discover there are problems.Let’s say someone is selling a used iPod. An example of a general question is ―What can you tell me about it?‖A positive-assumption (正面推测) question is ―There aren’t any problems with it, right?‖ But a negative-assumption question, such as ―What problems have you had with it?‖will get the most h onest answer, found Minson and her team.In a study, 87% of the sellers warned the buyers to problems when asked a negative-assumption question, while 59% of those did the same thing to a positive-assumption one.When you want the truth, you have to ask for it. What problems does this car have? What are the worst parts of this job? How many people with my kind of illness have been successfully treated? Your questions should communicate that you are sure there will be difficulties and that you want to know about them.53. What can we do if we want the truth, according to the passage?A. Ask for it ourselves.B. Talk with honest people.C. Study it ourselves.D. Do some experiments.54. What kind of questions has the best result?A. General questions.B. Positive-assumption questions.C. Careful questions.D. Negative-assumption questions.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Find Honest PeopleB. How to Talk with OthersC. How to Get an Honest AnswerD. How to Avoid Being CheatedDResearchers have recently discovered how to make families work more successfully. A surprising idea has appeared: the single most important thing you can do for your family, it seems, is to develop a family story.I first heard this idea in the mid-1990s from Marshall Duke, a professor at Emory University. Duke was studying stories in families when his wife, a children’s learning specialist, made a discovery: ―The students who know a lot about their families will do better when they face challenges (挑战),‖ Sara said.Interested, Duke set out to test her conclusion. He and Emory workmate Robyn Fivush developed a method called the ―Do You Know?‖ degree that asked children to answer 20 questions such as: Do you know where your grandparents grew up? Do you know where your mum and dad went to high school? Do you know about an illness or something really terrible that happened in your family?Duke and Fivush asked those questions to members of four dozen families in 2001. They then compared the children’s results with a group of psychological (心理学的) tests the children had taken and reached a conclusion that agreed to Sara’s theory. The more children knew about their families’ histories, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-respect, and the more successfully they believed their families worked from generation to generation (代代传承).―We were blown away,‖Duke said. The researchers mentioned the children after the terrible events of September 11, 2001. ―Once again,‖ Duke said, ―the ones who knew more about their families proved to be stronger.‖Why does knowing where her grandmother went to school help a child overcome something terrible and difficult? Duke said that children who have the most self-confidence have what he calls ―a strong intergenerational self‖. They know that they come from something bigger than themselves.Duke suggested that parents do the same activities with their children again and again. Any kind of activities work to teach the sense of history: holidays, vacations, big family get-togethers, even a drive to the shop. ―These traditions become part of your family,‖ Duke saidYears of research have shows that most happy families also communicate successfully, but it’s not simply a matter of talking through problems. Talking also means telling a positive (正面的) story about yourselves. When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter (章) to their life story that shows them overcoming the difficulty. This skill is very important for children when they are growing up.The bottom lines: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family’s best moments and your relations’ ability to overcome difficulty. That act alone may prove the fact that your family will thrive (兴旺) for many generations to come.56. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Happy children are usually brought up in happy families.B. Our family is the most important place to teach children.C. There are many things for the young to learn from the old.D. Family history plays an important part when children grow up.57. What can the ―Do you know?‖ degree tell us?A. What relation in one’s family is.B. What story one’s family has had.C. How much one knows his family.D. How much one loves his family.58. The underlined sentence ―We were blown away‖in the passage may mean ―______.‖A. We were surprised very muchB. We were deeply movedC. We were .punished seriouslyD. We were completely lost59. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?A. The event of September 11, 2001 helped Duke draw his conclusion.B. Duke thinks that a strong intergenerational self is the most important..C. Duke and Sara’s research work led us to an unexpected conclusion.D. According to Duke, positive talks will add new chapters to one’s life.西城CPaperboyBy Vince Vawter What’s the basic story line?Little Man works as a paperboy for the summer, but has no idea that it willchange his attitudes towards life forever.

Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago.The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.―I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.‖ says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬埔寨).3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.―The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.‖The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢). He saysthe same–day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.Staples, an American store, is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology - experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.Bryan Jaycox requires $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.Mr Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today’s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.―With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. Y ou can actually create things that give value to the world.‖He says it’s no t just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.56.

I’m not going to say luck, talent, and situation s don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great talent, and that’s just what life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, what’s more, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable（难以承受的）pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.When you see people showing some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some unusual talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(着迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Continual, hard work won’t guarantee that you will get the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.53. What can we infer from the passage?A. Successful people enjoy doing all kinds of work.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. Successful people like to show their great skills.D. People will succeed in life if they set good goals.54.What does the word ―guarantee‖ in the last paragraph mean?A. keep upB. carry outC. look aheadD. make sure55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Having a goal is important to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.DIt is natural for young people, at times, to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained(抱怨) that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with trouble; that they talk too much about certain problems，and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relations. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt, when young.For example, young people like doing things without careful thinking：it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge(挑战). Older people worry more easily：most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.So my advice to you is this：when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask ahead of time.Young people often make their parents feel angry with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in singers and music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and singers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles make their parents feel angry, this gives them more enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you don’t obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did accept, it looks as if you are tricking（辜负）your own age group. But in that case, youare supposing that you are the underdog：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is not an active way of looking at things. It is natural enough，after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it doesn’t notice the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation(合作) can be part of the plan. You can make others, especially parents, respect you with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do.56. The writer is mainly talking to _________.A. parents of teenagersB. newspaper readersC. teachersD. teenagers57. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the teenagers’ complaints about their parentsB. the teenagers’ ability to deal with trouble in lifeC. the parents’ complai nts about their childrenD. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents58. The word ―underdog‖ in the 5th paragraph refers to a person who.A. keeps dogs as petsB. has little chance to succeedC. looks down upon othersD. likes to cheat his own age group59. We can infe r from the pa ssage thatA. teenagers can’t join adult society because they have their own cultureB. it is impossible for young people to get along well with older peopleC. it is true for older people to forget how they felt when they were youngD. older people often lead the way in clothes, hairstyles, singers and music顺义CA famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, ―Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.‖Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，―Johnny，you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.‖ The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，―Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.‖ And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s thepower of our belief and attitude toward children.53. The professor started his researchby _______.A. teaching the five children himselfB. asking the five children to find a new teacherC. telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeD. telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class54.

If you want to get more，you should have new teachers.DSometimes people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese),grains (like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat in the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.56. What is the USDA in the passage?。
