AAs you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might tryto convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no〞 to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to“choose your friends wisely〞. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.21. For whom is the passage most probably written?A .Students B. Parents C. Teachers D. Doctors.22. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____.A．explains why friendship is so importantB．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressureC．discusses how peers influence usD．shows how to make more good friends23. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A．Spending more time with classmates. B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies. C．Choosing friends with no bad habits. D．Helping others who are in trouble.24. What is the topic of the passage?A．Friendship B．Making decisions C．Self-confidence D．Peer pressureBI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York, “I’m having a dinner party〞 means: “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford an d we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.〞 Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout; “Where are you going?〞And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s , a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New Yorkers. But at Mallery’s,when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently,people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual club.25. What does the word “shot〞 in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. choiceB. tryC. styleD. goal26. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New Yorkers?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash27. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusualB. Full of tricksC. Less costlyD. More interesting28. What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?A. Easy-goingB. Self-centred.C. GenerousD. ConservativeCHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end ofeight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired.Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.〞 Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.〞What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.29.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a labour’s blood.B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.30. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting worker tired？A．Challenging mental work. B．Unpleasant emotions.C．Endless tasks. D．Physical labor.31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?A．He agrees with them. B．He doubts them.C．He argues against them. D．He hesitates to accept them.32. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ______.A．have some good blood B．enjoy their workC．exercise regularly D．discover fatigue toxinD“Indeed,〞George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.〞 But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car.The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm〞. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for li stening secretly to others’ conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat〞, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties〞 that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorde d that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.〞33. We learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.A. Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC. the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth centuryD. both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century34. What does the word “flaw〞 in the last paragraph probably mean________.A. Explanation.B. Finding.C. Origin.D. Fault.35. The passage is mainly concerned with________.A. the misunderstanding of the word bugB. the development of the word bugC. the public views of the word bugD. the special characteristics of the word bug第二节〔一共5小题：每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项.选项里面有两项为多余选项。

AThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round­up——how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life.“Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase.” she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun.“My work，” she says, “is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captur ed elephant.“Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans.” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!28．For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to ________.A．get long lasting excitementB．keep both man and elephants safeC．send them back to the jungleD．make the angry elephants tame29．Before Parbati studied in a boarding school，________.A．she spent her time hunting with her fatherB．she learned how to sing love songsC．she had already been called an elephant princessD．she was taught how to hunt tigers30．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because ________.A．they are caught and sent for heavy workB．illegal hunters capture them and kill themC．they are attacked and their land gets limitedD．dogs often bark at them and chase them31．The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ________.A．people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB．the man­elephant relationship is getting worseC．elephant tamers are in short supplyD．dogs are as powerful as elephantsBThis is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents．Can you find a little extra to give?
