The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mothers always “trump (胜过)” friends.1．What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．differ.B．prevent.

The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental( 心理的) health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 persons are taking part.Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.University of Chicago psychologist (心理学家) John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers tried to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another person would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.Loneliness has been something to do with health problems like sadness and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.5．What is true about the Framingham Study?A．It involves more than 12,000 participants.

If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on the Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).Everyone should just relax, say linguists. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nurnberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they tell their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To give the main idea. B．To raise a question. C．To compare an example.D．To lead in the topic.10．Who can understand the Netspeak in England?A．Middle school teachers.B．Parents. C．Linguists.D．Teenagers. 11．Who believes Netspeak users can help improve writing?A．Cynthia McVey B．David Crystal C．Geoffrey NurnbergD．James Milroy 12．What’s James Milroy’s attitude toward Netspeak?A．Positive.B．Negative. C．Doubtful.D．Worried. 13．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Netspeak: the Language on the Internet B．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?C．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language? D．Netspeak: Advantages and DisadvantagesDExperts say there are about 6，500 languages spoken throughout the world. But the United Nations estimates that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.One non-profit organization seeking to save world languages is a New York-based group called Wikitongues. Officials from Wikitongues say the organization has a simple goal: to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages.Udell is the co-founder of Wikitongues. He said when a language disappears，many other things can go away as well. For example，parts of a community’s culture，knowledge and identity can also be lost. Because of this, Udell believes the process of bringing languages back must be done by community members themselves，“from the ground up,” he said.“There is no way an outside organization can save someone’s language for them.” Wikitongues was launched in 2016 as an open internet collection of world languages. The self-described “community” is operated by volunteers from around the world. The collection is in the form of language videos that people add to the Wikitongues website.There are currently more than 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues’ YouTube channel. Udell says more than 1,500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the system.“We have people from India who record dozens of languages，which is beyond their own.” hesaid.One of Wikitongues’ volunteers is Kolokwe, who lives in Namibia. His native language is Subiya，however，he does not get the chance to speak his native language every day. Like many other educated people from his area，he speaks a lot of English and Afrikaans.Kolokwe is hoping his involvement with Wikitongues call help keep Subiya and other African languages from going extinct. He wants the world to know about his language. But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video. He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools.14．What is the result of languages disappearing?A．People are uncertain about who they are. B．All the customs and beliefs are still existing.C．People can not communicate with each other. D．The community becomes more independent.15．Which of the following is true of Wikitongues?A．It was founded by the United Nations. B．Officials from it want to make money.C．It contributes to saving languages. D．1500 languages are uploaded on its website.16．What can we infer from the opinion of Udell?A．The majority of languages have been saved. B．Wikitongues can save languages disappearing.C．Internet plays a more important part than volunteers.D．Only community members can save their own languages.Challenge I.Fill in the blanks. （每空1.5分，共12分）1.What's your opinion of Mr Li's request that we _________________(spend) half an hour reading English aloud every morning?2.I'm _______your command — what would you like me to do?3._____________(base) an important decision more on emotion than on reason, you will regret it sooner or later.4.I went back to my hometown after 20 years and the city had changed beyondall_____________ (recognize)．5.Specialists can come up ____ new ways to solve the problem of air pollution.6.The collected money should be made good use of _____________ (help) the people who suffered great losses in the earthquake.7.The number of road accidents and the deaths arising from thoseaccidents_____________(increase) over the past year.8.It is wellknown that the panda is native ____China.Challenge II.
