My father used to say that all kinds of American cultural icons(偶像)were distasteful. When I was a child, it was forbidden to drink coke and to chew chewing gum in my house. Both actions were representative of the American dominance(主导)to my father while he had an American Ford car.I think it is difficult to prevent American cultural hegemony(霸权).Many years ago, there was an attempt to reduce the number of American films in Brazil. The government passed a law that all cinemas should show a higher percentage of Brazilian movies. However, we didn’t have enough good films, or even enough films, to show. so this measure fell soon after. American music is, of course, present in Brazil. Everybody knows about Madonna, Michael Jackson, and other icons of American music; but Brazilian music has never lost its first place in the Brazilians’ preferences.I think we don’t need to be afraid of cultural free trade. People tend to be selective, and not everything that is imported is necessarily bad. Our native Brazilians also stand up against the dominance of imported culture in their lives while they wear watches and shorts and use tape recorders. We can’t avoid the process, but we could learn to be more critical and as selective as possible.56. According to the passage, the author’s father _______ .A. was greatly influenced by American pop cultureB. forbade his children to watch American filmsC. purchased nothing other than Brazilian goodsD. didn’t have positive attitudes to American pop culture57. In paragraph 2, the author intends to tells us that _______.A. it was a pity for her father not to see the spread of American pop cultureB. her father would be surprised to see the influence of American pop cultureC. American pop culture has a great influence on BraziliansD. She herself was greatly influenced by American pop culture58. The Brazilian government made an attempt to _______.A. control the influence of American pop culture.B. prohibit American pop music from being played.C. forbid Brazilians to watch American films.D. produce enough Brazilian films and music59. From the whole passage we can learn that _______.A. at first the author was very concerned about the American dominanceB. American pop culture consists mainly of American films, music ,blue jeans,etcC. the author’s father was afraid of their children getting into bad habitsD. cultural free trade should be encouraged and promoted anyway60. The author probably thinks that American cultural dominance _______.A. is of benefit to BraziliansB. shouldn’t be left as it isC. can be avoided with effortsD. should be wiped outBHeading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted agegroup of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!61. The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.A. impressing professorsB. getting on well with classmatesC. creating a professional imageD. dressing appropriately62. The author believes that college girls should ________.A. choose a logo that suits their ageB. try to load up on well-known logosC. use logos to show who they areD. find their identity by trying different logos63. The author recommends wearing real pants because ________.A. leggings and baggy shirts are too commonB. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortableC. real pants can present you with appropriate maturityD. people like real pants better than the other pants64. What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with anima ls on them?A. They make people look lovely.B. They are very fashionable these days.C. They will show you’re an animal lover.D. They are not suitable for college-aged students.65. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A. Business Week.B. Parents.C. In style.D. Travel & Leisure.CIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation oft en ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (糖尿病),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn., which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”66.What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors suffering from obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.67.How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.68. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of theirsucceeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.69. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialoguebetween doctors and patients?A. Most doctors never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.70. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients---who to bear more blame?DPeople should be warned against using mobile phones outdoors in stormy weather because they may “be struck by lightning”, according to doctors.Three experts have described how a teenage girl was struck by lightning while using her phone in a large London park. The girl, aged 15, recovered, but a year later was still wheelchair-bound and found to be suffering complex physical and emotional problems.The girl also had a perforate eardrum(打孔耳膜)on the side where she had been holding the mobile phone. She was having general recovery in Northwick Park Hospital, Middlesex.Swinda Esprit, a senior house officer, said that while the brain and muscle damage was similar to that of many lightning victims—who can experience heart attacks on being struck— the ear problems were not.She said that the damages were particularly relevant for people who might be involved in less serious lightning incidents, who might otherwise recover, but would never get their full hearing back if struck while on the phone.“We were shocked by the damage, which is why we wanted to draw attention to it,” Dr Esprit said. “A year on and she still was suffering these difficult hearing.”They added that three other cases had been reported in newspapers in China, South Korea, and Malaysia. In the Malaysian case, a sales executive was killed by lightning while talking on his phone during a thunderstorm near Kuala Lumpur.“All these events resulted in death,” the doctors wrote. “This rare phenomenon is a public health issue, and edu cation is necessary to stress the risk.”The Australian Lightning Protection Standard recommends that metallic objects, including cordless or mobile phones, should not be carried outdoors during thunderstorms. However, “the United States National Weather Service says on its website that both are safe to use “because there is no direct path between you and the lightening”.Paul Taylor, of “the Met Office”, said t he ear injuries were a consequence of mobile phones being metal, and not related to radio waves.Mr. Taylor said that mobile phones should be treated as another piece of metal, similar to carrying coins or wearing rings, and people need to be warned against the possible danger.71. What do we know about the teenage girl?A. She was struck by lightning at school.B. She completely recovered from being struck.C. She still suffered from mental problems.D. She had to press her ear all day.72. It can be inferred that damage done by lightening while using mobile phones ______.A. is more serious than that when one is not using a mobile phoneB. can be healed quickly except for heart attacksC. is less serious because the victims can usually recoverD. is mainly in the brain and muscle of the victims73. Why did doctors stress the risk about using phones outside in lightening?A. Because more people are faced with it.B. Because some deaths have been caused.C. Because lightning is harmful for the brain.D. Because a teenage girl got killed.74. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that ______.A. both cordless and mobile phones are safe to use outside in lightningB. there is no direct connection between lightning and ear injuries at allC. opinions differ as to whether it is safe to use mobiles phones in lightningD. ear injuries are the result of carrying coins or wearing rings in lightning75. The purpose in writing this passage is ______.A. to draw attention to the risk of using mobile phones in lighteningB. to focus on various damages done to lightning victimsC. to tell us the news that a teenage girl was struck by lightningD. to stress the danger of making phone calls in lightning五、书面表达现在越来越多人选择在网上找工作。

Kelly, Dora or Obama. These people are great in their own rights(凭他们自身的努力), but that‘s not enough reason to spend your time living out a life just trying to be an image of 38 person. This same question is not just limited to kids and teens; ask adults and they‘d a lso tell you they want to be like Bill Gates or Ellen Sirleaf Johnson.We live in a world in which people are from different backgrounds. Some are born with silver spoons and others with no spoon at all. We live in a world of 39 and solutions, obstacles and stepping-stones, depending on where you are looking.Most of us spend our time and energy 40 shoes to fit into, leaving ours behind, trying to live life and 41 the way our role models do. It‘s good but that‘s not the chief factor that w e‘d be like them, because we‘d be surprised that we‘ll fall short of our expectations if we spend much energy 42 the wind. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, so it‘s 43that we all have the 1% in our genetic make-up but we need to work hard.Now, I‘m not trying to say it‘s 44 to want to be like somebody else; all I‘m trying to say is that you were born here for a reason — You were given an empty book to write your life in. I wouldn‘t want your book to be 45 with how so-so and s o is but rather how ―I am‖. For as you go around trying out people‘s 46 , who‘s going to try yours? Even if you don't become successful in life, 47 yourself with the thought that at least your shoes are worth trying out.36. A. Fortunately B. Generally C. Surprisingly D. Curiously37.

Kids knew not to go into his yards to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go byDawson‘s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was scared of the old man.Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a big smile.Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple. Later, Janet asked Amy, ―Everyone says he‘s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?‖Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn‘t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half smiled back.After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers an apple now, and is always very kind.If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most peoplecan‘t resist our kindness after a while.We are always busy trying to achieve so much that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let‘s make sure that we‘re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smile56. Why didn't kids enter Mr. Dawson‘s yard?A. The gate was kept locked.B. Mr. Dawson never smiled.C. They would make trouble.D. Mr. Dawson treated them badly.57. Janet suggested walking on the other side of the street to ______.A. meet some other friendsB. find out where Mr. Dawson wasC. avoid passing by Mr. Dawson‘s houseD. see what Mr. Dawson was doing.58. What did Mr. Dawson do when he saw Amy?A. He smiled on her.B. He forced an invisible smile.C. He came after her with his gun.D. He frowned as usual.59. Janet couldn‘t understand why _______.A. Amy was kind to Mr. DawsonB. Mr. Dawson was so friendlyC. Mr. Dawson was so mean.D. Amy was not afraid of Mr. Dawson60. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _______.A. smiling is not difficult at allB. smiling can make our life differentC. we should bring more smiles to othersD. we should wear invisible smilesBIn the recent past there have been a number of amazing innovations in the world of 3D entertainment, from movie theater technology to what we see at home, to highly developedgames. As time goes by and the technology becomes more and more affordable, it seems likely that viewing images with 3D glasses could become a part of day-to-day life for many. Now researchers say that might not be a good thing, as the dangers of 3D glasses come to light in research.3D glasses can reportedly be very unhygienic(不卫生的). Health officials in Italy recently confiscated (没收) 3D glasses that they claimed posed health risks because the 3D glasses weren‘t cleaned properly between screenings. The other more obvious dangers of 3D glasses remain. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that viewing 3D movies with 3D glasses can strain the eyes by changing the relationship between the eyes and the brain. This can result in headaches and blurred vision, and it seems that the problem is particularly troubling for young children. Those who do experience these kinds of painful side effects should limit their 3D viewing, as long-term results haven‘t been found.It seems certain that more expensive 3D glasses give you a better 3D experience, as cheaper glasses can create some shadowing. Getting a new pair of disposable(一次性的) glasses at the screening of a movie may be more hygienic, yet there is little evidence to prove whether high-quality 3D glasses are better for your vision and health in the long run.What should be done about the dangers of 3D? Well, the headaches and dizziness that some viewers experience can be reduced simply by lessening the amount of time spent using 3D technology, and those who experience the effects for a long period of time should consult their doctors.61. What is the text mainly about?A. The recent innovations in 3D entertainment.B. The dangers of viewing images with 3D glasses.C. How to choose 3D glasses properly.D. How to prevent the harm of 3D glasses.62. Health officials in Italy confiscated 3D glasses because ________.A. they were believed to be unhealthyB. they were too expensiveC. they were not of high qualityD. they were used too much63. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. 3D glasses pose no threat to adults.B. The dangers of 3D glasses are not obvious.C. The side effects of 3D glasses can disappear quickly.D. Children should be especially cautious about using 3D glasses.64. We can infer from the third paragraph 3D glasses of high quality ______.A. pose no danger to your healthB. improve your eyesightC. are not necessarily safeD. are more hygienic65. How can we prevent the dangers of 3D?A. Limit the time of watching with 3D glasses.B. Wear high-quality 3D glasses.C. Clean 3D glasses now and then.D. Keep a distance from the screen.CDo you know what your child is going to do when the school bell rings at the end of the day? More than 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to affordable after-school opportunities. According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center(NYVPRC), nine out of ten Americans think all youths should have access to after-school programs, but two-thirds of parents say they have trouble finding programs locally. The bad news is that the situation may be getting worse.After-school hours are the peak time for juvenile crimes and risky behaviors, including alcohol and drug use. The NYVPRC states that children who do not spend any time in after-school activities are 49 percent more likely to use drugs and 37 percent more likely to become a teen parent. Kids are also at the highest risk of becoming a victim of violence after school, particularly between the hours of 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The highest amount of juvenile crime occurs between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., when most children are dismissed from school.The NYVPRC defines after-school programs as safe and structured activities that offer children opportunities to learn new skills. The skills students learn can range from technology and math to reading and art. Some programs also offer opportunities for internship(实习), community service, or mentoring. These programs have been shown to improve academic achievement, as well as relieve the stresses on working families. A report by the U. S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice shows that students in after-school programs have fewer behavioral problems and more self-confidence, and can handle conflicts better than students who are not involved with these programs. In addition, according to the Harvard Family Research Project, after-school programs help students from low-income families overcome the inequities(不公平) they face in the school system.66. What is the theme of the passage?A. Prevention of juvenile crimes.B. Risks kids face after school.C. A research report on the stresses of students.D. The benefits of after-school programs.67.

Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody. Bad dreams can disturb the sleep and make a person feel stressed throughout the next day. That‘s why one should take steps to stop them as soon as they become an everyday occurrence.Before knowing how to get rid of bad dreams, we need to understand what can result in them. Researches have shown that when a person is under some sort of physical or mental stress, he is more likely to get bad dreams and disturbed sleep. So, to stop bad dreams, it‘s necessary to find out the causes of physical and mental stress in your li fe and remove these. For instance, if you‘re overworked, learn to take things slow. Don‘t be ambitious to the point that it starts affecting your health.Besides, some trauma(损伤) that a person might have experienced recently or in the past which they‘re un able to get over can make the person suffer from bad dreams. Death of a very close family member is often seen to be the reason behind recurrent nightmares. In such a case, taking therapy and dealing with the trauma is the only solution to stop bad dreams.Eating fatty and high-protein foods in dinner is also known to cause bad dreams in some people. So, bad dreams occurring because of these reasons can be stopped if the diet is changed. Taking a light dinner of soups and salad is the best, both for the health and for stopping disturbed sleep in some cases.Besides these, there are many other things a person can do to have a good night‘s sleep. For example, your bedroom should be the most comfortable place in the world. So, get rid of all electronic gadgets including television. In addition, if you have negative thoughts, it can have side effects on the kind of dreams you have. So, from now on try to be a happy and positive person.Title: Bad DreamsSection C (25分)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.某英文报正在就建立良好的师生关系这一话题进行讨论。

After I was picked up from the airport we went home and she unpacked my luggage. Then she took me shopping for new clothes since the ones I had brought with me from Africa were a bit worn.That night before I went to bed she came to my room, which was the. first room 1 had ever had for my own, with the first bed I didn’t have to share. She told me she was glad to have me and that she would take good care of me.Before she walked out of my new room , she asked me for a hug. I had no idea what she was talking about. I did not know what the word hug meant, not because I didn’t speak English, but I had just never heard the word before, let alone knew what it meant. So, I just looked at her with a questioning expression on my face.But she didn’t give up. She called my father into the room and asked him to explain to me what she meant. When my father was explaining I looked at her and wondered why she wanted to hug me. She then told me it was because she loved me and opened her arms wide. Shyly I opened mine and we hugged.That was my very first hug and I was 11 at that time. I’m 23 now and, thankfully,I have received many hugs since them.1 consider her my birth mother because life began when I came to stay with her. For the first time there were no kids for me to take care of and I became a childfor the first time.

The players swore to send the five-month-long lockout(停摆)to the court, threatening to pull the plug on the entire 2011-1 2 season.Greed is at the root of the NBA problems.

But don’t worry here are some tips for all those NBA fans who areworried about the idea of going through a long , cold winter without Dirk or Kobe to keep them company.Occupy David Stern.Write e-mails to Stern. If the NBA commissioner’s e-mail box gets occupied with angry complaints from around the world, hopefully, he might push a little harder to get the lockout lifted.Check out international basketbal1 games.There will still be basketball if there is no NBA Season, Give the Chinese Basketball Association and the Euroleague a try. And the good news is, some NBA players are thinking about p1ay1ng overseas if the lockout continues.Start your own basketball team.You know how you and your friends have joked about how you can shoot like Dirk.We11 here’s your chance.

It traps dirt and other matter, and it keeps insects out. Doctors think earwax might also help protect against infections. And the waxy also keeps ears from getting too dry.So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: ceriman. However, you can have too much of a good thing. The glands(腺体) in the ear make too much in some people . Earwax is normally removed; it falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and forma a blockage(堵塞)that reduces hearing.People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears, but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes ' necessary. But you have to use a safe method or you could do a lot of damage.Experts at the National Institute of Health, NIH, suggest three most useful ways to treat extra earwax yourself. The wax can be softened with mineral oil or ear drops.Another way to remove Wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use a syringe device(注射器)to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.Experts say you may have to repeat a few time . Use water that 15 body temperature. If the water is cooler or Warmer , it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.68. Eanwaax has the following benefits EXCEPT .A. keeping ears wet to trap dirtB. protecting and · cleaning the earC. preventing ears from being infectedD. stopping insects from getting into ears69.

We can learn from the passage that .A. earwax helps to form the glandsB. earwax doesn’t need to be dealt withC. earwax removal needs some cold or hot waterD. earwax removal through irrigation requires skills71. What will most likely be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. The problems caused by irrigation.B. one more way to get rid of earwax.C. The assistance offered by the NIH.D.

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big hums(脊背)in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale actually as big as our boat was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to he other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With out several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swan up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part lf clean water flowingstraight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.56.The author says “I’m so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because_______.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family57.The harbor survived the storm owing to ______.A. the shape of the harborB. the arms of one bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line58.The mother whale failed to help her baby because _______.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction59.What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.B. Fishing provides excitement for children.C. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. It’s vital to protect the environment.BFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents; point of view, the only course of their fight is their adolescents’ comp lete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is——politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg——the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority ——someone who actually knows something ——and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.60.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.61.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.62. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly63.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent-teen warC. Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationshipCThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰). Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket when ever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—at 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said. “Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流)style than in previous years.She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”64.Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, .A.the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B.the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C.people spend 30% less than they did on clothesD.the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%65.When can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?A.They are often ignored by fashion designers.B.They are now more easily influenced by stars.C.They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.D.They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.66.It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because .A.they get tired of things more quicklyB.TV shows teach them how to change their lookC.they are in much better shape nowD.clothes are much cheaper than before67.Which is the best possible title of the passage?A.Age Is No Barrier for Fashion FansB.The More Fashionable, the Less ExpensiveC.Unexpected Changes in FashionD.Boom of the British Fashion IndustryDThis brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics; reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again; some-one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devote to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻的) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher —if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got cross. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, the demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s, one of the references (参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.68. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is toA. gain knowledge and expand one’s viewB. understand the meaning between the linesC. experts ideas based on what one has readD. get information and keep it alive in memory69.The author of the passage insists that learning the artsA. requires great effortsB. demands real passionC. is less natural than learning mathD. is as natural as learning a language70.What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the authorA. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.B. There is too much discussion on studying science.C. The style is too serious.D. It lacks new information.71.This passage can be classified asA. an advertisementB. a book reviewC. a future storyD. a news reportEHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate, more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact, as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over the France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的)lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”. which was not clarified, though, Now scientists aretelling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modem invention,In the past, without the artificial light of the city bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then world themselves around midnight, The late night period was known as “The Watch”. It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbors.According to some sleep researchers, a short of insomnia(失眠)at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning, This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.72.The example of the French peasants shows the fact that .A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habitsC. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherD. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end73.The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people .A.to set traps to catch animalsB.to wake up their family and neighborsC.to remind others of the timeD.to guard against possible dangers74. What does the author advise people to do?A. Sleep in the way animals do.B. Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep.C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.75. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To give a prescription for insomniaB. To urge people to sleep less.C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modem peopleD. To throw new light on human sleep.五、书面表达假定你班在“珍爱生命,拒闯红灯”教育活动中,召开了一次主题班会。

Would you be willing to rent yours out? Severalcar-sharing start-ups, including Getaround, RelayRides and JustShareIt, are eager to conneccar owners with renters this way. The companies have different rules, but participating owners receive, generally speaking, about two-thirds of the rental earnings. RelayRides says an owner of a midsize, late-model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about $3,000 a year.Peer-to-peer car sharing remains in the trial stage; it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places. It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb, the surprise success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.Shelby Clark, founder of RelayRides, says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers. To address that, he points to Airbnb, saying, “Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car.”All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters, which are supposed to put owners’minds at ease. But only two states—California and Oregon—have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car-sharing renter have an accident.“In all the other states, legal ambiguity remains,” Shelby Clark says. “If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states, the victim can be expected to go after every party possible, including the car’s owner.”Also to remove the worries of car owners, the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations.56. What does the underlined word “sedan” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. A kind of car.B. An owner of a car.C. A renting company.D. A car-sharing renter.57. Which of the following is true of Airbnb?A. It cares little about personal privacy.B. It deals with house-sharing successfully.C. It is a very popular car-sharing company.D. Its ideas are being tried out in some states.58. If a car-sharing renter should have an accident i n California, the car’s owner .A. has to take legal responsibilityB. will not suffer the consequenceC. is not covered by health insuranceD. must pay the insurance for the renter59. According to the text, more car-owners will participate in the service, ifA. legal ambiguity is clarified in all the statesB. renters are warned not to violate traffic rulesC. more money is given to participating ownersD. people are aware of the importance of sharing60. It can be learned from the text that car-sharingA. makes no profitB. remains in popularityC. is against the state lawD. is a new business modelBAfter spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled,Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up toYale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’s”Impressed—she was a National Merit(全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguesein Brazil—Yaledid, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writingfor The Yale Daily News “and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled the city of Homs. She was working ina temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Ms. Colvin said. “Her editor toldme he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wantedto take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it. ”Ms. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life.There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’This is who she was, absolutely who she wasand what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bringit to life in the deepest way you could.” So it was not a surprise when she tookan interest in journalism, her mother said.61.

As it nears its second century, the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been the world’s first national park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge. NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope. Jason Morris, executive vice president of NatureBridge says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors.Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. And one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation.66.

TravelB. EducationC. EntertainmentD. HealthDJames Cooke, of Islip,N.Y.,can’t recognize other people. “I see eyes, nose, cheekbones, but no face,” he said. “I’ve even passed by my son and daughter without recognizing them.”He is not the only one. Those with prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, can see perfectly well, but their brains are unable to piece together the information needed to understand that a collection of features represents an individual’s face. The condition is a neurological(神经病学的)mystery, but new research has shed light on this strange disease.Some scientists had believed that faces and voices, the two main ways people recognize one another, were processed separately by the brain. Indeed, a condition parallel to prosopagnosia, called phonagnosia, similarly leaves a person unable to distinguish a familiar voice from an unfamiliar one. But by testing for these two conditions at the same time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute recently found evidence that face and voice recognition may be linked in a unique person-recognition system.The scientists observed the brain activity of 19 healthy volunteers as they were led through tasks that tested their ability to recognize both faces and voices. The researchers found that regions of the brain, associated with facial recognition, are directly linked to regions responsible for voice recognition.This research helps explain why a person with prosopagnosia may still have difficulty determining who a person is even after he has begun to speak. The challenge for scientists is to find out where this system breaks down. Are these connections in the brain missing entirely, or are people unable to recognize faces and voices simply unable to use these links in some way?It is unclear how many people have these conditions. Many don’t ev en realize theyhave problems with facial or voice recognition. While some develop these difficulties after a brain injury, others develop it in childhood.71. James Cooke can’t recognize other people because .A. his eyesight is failingB. he prefers to walk hurriedlyC. he suffers from face blindnessD. he can’t tell facial expressions72. Which of the following is true of prosopagnosia?A. It is a common disease among adults.B. It may cause damage to the brain.C. It is always an inborn disease.D. There has been no cure for it.73.
