I was going to be dropped off and31 by myself at the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me inNorwegian (挪威语). What had I gotten myself into? Icouldnt understand any other 32 but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, 33 if I really could survive (幸存) the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then had to leave. I was reluctant (不情愿的) to watch her drive away. I had never been left alone and Iwas terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, my eyes were 34 .I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom, but she insisted I should learn to be independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bobs mom called and her words comforted me, “Isnt it exciting to know a bunch of kids of your 35 ?” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the 36 began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it enjoyable to get along with others. Whats more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to love this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to 37 her around all my favorite places. After the closing ceremony (仪式), I was so 38 to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to come back the next summer I was hooked (着迷).Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to 39 my little brothers to camp this summer. Maybe someday I will be a volunteer there to help kids take their first independent step away from home. I 40 know how they feel as their parents drop them off.

CParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the latest film is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Film was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in their own circles.Today, the generation gap（代沟） has not disappeared, but it is getting smaller in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are common. And parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality（平等）between parents and kids may also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and power on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion（困惑）among parents.” Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication that encourages everyone to have a say. “My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily carried through by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”48. What does the underlined word “gulf” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Interest. B. Distance.C. Difference. D. Connection.49. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is getting smaller?A. Parents share more interests with their children.B. Parents show less strictness to their young children.C. Parents help their children find interests in activities.D. Parents share more cultural changes with their children.50. The change in todays parentchild relationship is _.A. more confusion among parentsB. 1ess respect for parents from children C. new equality between parents and childrenD. more strictness and power on the part of parents51. The writer writes the passage to _.A. describe the difficulties todays parents have met withB. discuss the development of the parentchild relationshipC. suggest the ways to deal with the parentchild relationshipD. compare todays parentchild relationship with that in the pastDFighting fires has always been a dangerous job. The job has grown even more risky in recent years. Thats because changes in building over the last 30 years have resulted in hotter fires that are more unpredictable. Todays buildings use many more synthetic materials than those built 30 years ago did. As a result, when they catch fire, they burn at a much higher temperature and give off much more energy than their older counterparts do. Furthermore, most modern buildings are extremely well insulated (绝缘的). That means that when they catch fire, they hold most of the fires heat.Hotter fires result in especially dangerous situations for firefighters. The fires themselves are dangerous, of course, but even more problematic are the super-hot gases created by the fires. These cause “extreme fire behaviors,” a term firefighters use to describe quick-moving, life-threatening events at the scene of a fire. They include flashovers (跳火) . Temperature increases so greatly that some materials in an area burn up at once. They also include backdrafts(反风流), during which oxygen rushes into an area, causing a fireball. The most dangerous effect of a backdraft is that it can actually take in all the oxygen out of a room where firefighters are working. Finally, there are gas explosions(爆炸). They happen when extreme heat causes gases to spread quickly.American firefighters have worked hard to fight against the dangers of modern firefighting. Unfortunately, death rates have remained nearly unchanged during the last 30 years. Thats a poor showing compared to Sweden and Great Britain. Both of those countries have cut death rates among firefighters in half over the same period.Why are the British and the Swedes more successful at protecting their firefighters? Some within the firefighting community believe its because both countries use a procedure called “3-D firefighting.”For now, most American fire companies will stick with traditional firefighting strategies and believe that 3-D technique(技术) cannot be effective. Supporters of the technique claim that it greatly reduces the likelihood of an extreme fire behavior. In 2002, the fire department of Gresham, Oregon became the first in the United States to accept 3-D firefighting techniques. The companys battalion chief, Ed Hartin, has become a supporter for the procedure, conducts trainings, and has written a book on the subject. Maybe the use of 3-D firefighting is held back by its cost in the United States.52. What does the underlined word “counterparts” refer to in the passage?A. changesB. buildingsC. jobs D. fires53. What can we learn from the passage about backdrafts?A. Backdrafts make all the materials burn up at once.B. Backdrafts can be stopped by giving off more oxygen.C. Backdrafts can make the firefighters die of oxygen shortage.D. Backdrafts are followed by gas explosions and flashovers.54. Why does the author say that the US makes a “poor showing”?A. Because there are more and more fires happening these years.B. Because they didnt work hard enough to fight against the fires.C. Because the number of firefighters dying of firefighting gets larger.D. Because the death rate among US firefighters hasnt changed much.55. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The causes of fires and the ways to put out fires successfully. B. Some advice on keeping firefighters safe and using 3-D firefighting.C. The work of firefighters and the ways to protect firefighters in fires.D. The dangers of firefighting and the possibilities of a new technique.七、阅读短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。The early 1500s were an exciting time of exploration (探险)and discovery.
