I often wondered if she was trying to tell me something. Maybe I was giving more attention to her older brothers than to her.My daughter and I teamed up to decorate for family birthdays. And we laughed and cried while watching movies with one another. We went shopping for clothes, and we always seemed to see eye to eye about everything. She was a “good girl” and I was a proud mama. Then one day, it all began to fall apart, right before my eyes.I was shocked to find that my car was missing one morning. I checked my daughters room, only to find her missing as well. I began making phone calls. No response. Then finally she answered, and admitted that she was “on the freeway, coming back from a party.” As she entered the house that morning, the tears began to flow. She explained that she “was tired of being the good girl.” All of her friends were at that party, and she was never allowed to go, so she just decided to rebel (反抗). I remember looking at her with my mouth open, speechless for a moment. I had never had to discipline (训导) my youngest child, really. She never needed more than “a look” from me to teach her right from wrong.Recently, a card came in the mail from my baby girl, thanking me “for always being there for her”. She added, “I cherish (珍惜) the times when people say, youre so much like your mom. Thank you for being so patientI love you.”11. What can NOT be learned about the mother and her daughter from the 2nd paragraph?A. Their birthdays are on the same day.B. They enjoyed watching movies together.C. They had the same taste in clothes.D. The mother took pride in her daughter.12. Why did the daughter “steal” her mothers car?A. Because she went for a ride on the freeway.B. Because she wanted to show off at the party.C. Because she got bored with her mother.D. Because she desired to break the “good girl” image.13. Having read the card from her daughter, the mother would feel_. A. anxiousB. movedC. disappointedD. astonishedBSure, chocolate is a delicious treat, and its the main source of some of our favorite desserts. But its not exactly a health food, so it should be enjoyed properly-right?Well, it turns out that eating chocolate might actually have health benefits. According to recent research carried out by five scientists in Italy, compounds (化合物) found in chocolate, called flavanols (黄酮醇), can help improve cognitive (认知的) performance. Yes, chocolate is good for your brain. They found improvements in “general cognition, attention, processing speed, and working memory.” This really sounds pretty good to us!And thats not all. In the interviewees, especially women, who performed the tests while they were tired, the flavanols helped counteract the negative effects of being short of sleep. And theres even more good news. The researchers also found that eating chocolate daily (over periods of five days to three months) produced clear long-term improvements in cognition. Older adults, whose memories were already worsening, saw a clear improvement. Well be right back to chocolate bars. Here are some more examples of how chocolate can help improve your memory.All chocolate has flavanols, since they occur naturally in cocoa. However, dark chocolate lovers can be happier, because it has more flavanols than any other type of chocolate. In fact, the scientists themselves said that, after doing this research, theyve started eating dark chocolate every day! Now, were not saying that you should start eating chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-its still high in sugar and low in protein (蛋白质). But next time you find youre tired after a sleepless night, eat some chocolate and let the flavanols work. 14. According to the new research, _.A. chocolate has more benefits for women than for menB. chocolate can stop the old from agingC. chocolate might help people concentrate on their workD. eating chocolate daily can make you more intelligent15. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means_.A. reduceB. increaseC. react withD. have nothing to do with16. Whats the function of flavanols?A. It can improve our cognition.B. It can help us lose weight.C. It can make us stronger.D. It can help us live longer than expected.17. Why have the scientists started eating dark chocolate every day?A. Because it can help them with their sleep problems.B. Because it is a delicious treat and is one of their favorite desserts.C. Because it is low in sugar and high in protein.D. Because it has more flavanols than any other type of chocolate.CThere are some arguments against moving schools to the suburbs. Some people argue that it is uncomfortable for students to go to the suburbs in order to go to school. For example, if a teenage boy lives in the center of the city, every day he has to take a bus or even change the means of transportation. Thus, traveling to school becomes not only a waste of money but also a waste of time. In addition, moving the already existing schools to the suburbs would make the government spend huge amounts of money. For this reason the country would get into big debt. Therefore, in addition to traveling expenses (费用) and the waste of time, the huge governmental expenses of moving schools to the suburbs make it impractical and unwise.Although moving schools to the suburbs may be expensive and time-consuming, there are many advantages. One major advantage of it is that in the suburbs the air pollution is less than in the city center. So students in the suburbs may breathe more fresh air than in the city center. Another advantage of studying far from the city center is that students are less likely to skip classes. This is because there are no shopping malls or cafes there, which usually serve as student distractions (使人分心的事) from school. Accordingly, students may become more hard-working and start getting good grades. Thus fresh air and good conditions for studying are the arguments in support of moving schools out of city centers.To my mind, schools should be moved from centers to the suburbs. It would create good conditions for studying, such as a healthy, safe and pleasant environment, which, in turn would help students spend more time learning and learn to the best of their abilities.18. What might be the teenagers attitude to moving schools to the suburbs?A. He might doubt it.B. He might be against it.C. He might pay little attention to it.D. He might show much interest to it.19. What does the author say about students studying in the suburbs?A. They may get bad grades.B. They are likely to skip classes.C. They can focus on their studies.D. They can work part-time after class.20. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to save governmental expenses?B. Should schools be moved to the suburbs?C. Why not return to the center of the city?D. Is traveling to school a waste of money?第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The most successful exercise program is one that best suits you.
