They say that their parents dont understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend(倾向) to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents dont like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were pletely under your parents control.If you prefer to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.21. According to the text, young people prefer to _.A. ask for advice before they really start to do anythingB. think in the same way as their parents do C. be very strict with themselvesD. do things without thinking carefully ahead22. According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because _.A. they feel they are cleverer than old people B. they do not want to get into trouble with their parentsC. they dont feel they belong to the world of the old people D. they want to show the new is better than the old23. If a young man intends to control his own life, its better for him to _.A. do everything according to his own wishB. hold himself responsible for everything he does C. do everything beyond his parents controlD. do everything the way his parents doB I always experienced guilt when I passed by without giving a coin or two to a beggar. My conscience was pricked again on a tour of Venice in xx. I had taken refuge from the crowds in a quiet canal-side caf. Outside the caf was an old woman kneeling on the ancient cobbled stones, begging. Steady streams of tourists were walking past her. A lone young back-packer stood away from the crowds drinking something, but I noticed he was also observing the woman. A tourist group glanced at the woman and walked on. Another group of tourists arrived and, again, walked past her. The backpacker watched. Then, as I prepared to leave, I stopped at the sight of the backpacker stepping forward and placing some money in the womans cup. He did this rather ostentatiously(炫耀地), just before the arrival of another tourist group. I watched as the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and added more coins to the womans cup. The young backpacker repeated this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer (同伴) pressure worked on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar woman, patted her shoulder and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”I dont know if the woman understood his English or realized what had just happened, but I did. I placed some money in the womans cup and continued my travels, light-hearted after witnessing such an act of caring.24The author went to a quiet canal-side cafe to_ . A. avoid meeting the beggar B. get away from the crowds C. take a rest D. watch the woman beggar25The backpacker placed some money in the womans cup rather ostentatiously because_. A. he wanted to stop the tourists by doing this B. he wanted people to know that he was rich and kind C. he wanted to help the woman by himself D. he wanted the tourist group to follow him26We can infer from the passage that _ . A. tourists can be cheated by beggars B. people usually have pity on an old beggar C. tourists are willing to help beggars D. people can do kind acts due to peer pressure27Before the backpacker dropped some money in the womans cup, the tourists _ . A. all showed pity for the woman B. didnt notice the woman C. walked by without giving any money D. gave a little money to the womanCOne day a mime(哑剧演员) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoos most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance(出席人数) at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd es. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime the job he likes but loses.However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lions cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mimes pay keeps going up.Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”28. The mime accepts the zookeepers offer because _.A. he has been out of workB. he doesnt like being a mimeC. he likes performing at the zooD. he is offered a higher pay there29. How does the mime find the job dressing up as the gorilla?A. Hard and tiring. B. Dangerous but exciting.C. Easy and funny. D. Boring but well-paid.30. The mimes first contact with the lion is to _.A. find pleasure for himself B. get the lions attention C. get his pay raised D. win back his audience31. The underlined words “a fuel” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _.A. frightening B. disappointing C. exciting D. FamiliarDTheir beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring, but the routes taken by cuckoos(杜鹃) during their annual migration(迁徙) have remained a mystery. Now, though, scientists from the British Trust for Omithology(BTO) have revealed the details of their remarkable 10,000-mile journey, with the help of tracking devices.Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged “backpacks before being released. The scientists then monitored their progress over 12 months as they flew to Africa in the autumn, and returned in the spring.The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain. Between 1995 and xx，the population of cuckoos spending summer here fell by almost half, and the number is continuing to decline. Previously, the lack of information about the cuckoos long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds.Earlier this year, it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal. Their call was recorded by ornithologists(鸟类专家) as early as February, a month ahead of their usual arrival.Like all migrating animals, cuckoos respond to the changing seasons. They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on. This reliance on seasonal patterns means that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them.32What is the main purpose of the project?ATo track cuckoos10,000-mile journey.BTo better understand the habits of cuckoos.CTo find out what happens during cuckoos journey.DTo discover why the population of cuckoos is declining.33The underlined word “hampered” in Paragraph 3 probably means_.Aprevented Bdeepened Cimproved Daffected34When do cuckoos usually arrive in Britain?AIn January. BIn February. CIn March. DIn April.35Cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal probably because of_.A1acking food Bchanging climateCchanging routes Dcold spring in the UK第二节（共5小题；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填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 36 One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved（进化） so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 38 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right . 39 The synapses （神经突触）in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping .If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights sleep , we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses bee thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40 “You keep what matters,”Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. Its as if the brain is preserving(保存) its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains being loaded(装载) with memories.E. Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节 满分40分）第一节 （每题1.5分 共30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。I went with some colleagues from my office for a dinner in a very popular local restaurant.

Now this was my chance to 48 it forward. I ran to the young mans side immediately, turned him on his back and screamed for someone to 49 a hot drink. Soon people started asking if I was a doctor.
