No matter what your age is, you can feel stressed out by things that are happening in your life. Teenagers, however, have many more opportunities to get stressed than people in any other age group. Being a teenager is hard. You are not a child any more, but you are not an adult, even though you have to deal with some very grown-up problems and decisions. Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with parents arguing at home. or problems with brothers and sisters. Teenagers also have a lot of stress from school, either from their teachers or from their friends. Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school. Getting a place at university can be very difficult and some cannot afford to go to university. The stress about getting a job when finishing school is hard for some teenagers. There are so many young people finishing school and not enough jobs for them. Sadly, there is nothing we can do to remove these causes of stress from the 1ives of teenagers, but you can learn the best way to deal with it. Talking to people is one of the best ways to deal with stress. It may sound simple, but it is true. A problem shared is a problem halved. 56. Why is being a teenager often difficult? A.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shining car. “ Is this your car, Paul?” he asked. Paul answered, “ Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “ You mean your brother gave it to you and it didnt cost you anything? Boy, 1 wish” he hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “ I wish.” the boy went on, “ that l could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said. “ Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “ Oh yes. I d love that.” After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “ Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?” Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “ Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked. He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car. “ There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn t cost him a cent. And some day Im going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I ve been trying to tell you about.” Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

Most people will eat more than they usually do. But doctors find out that what you eat may affect how well you remember things. This is bad news for people who eat too much. Forgetfulness seems to many people an inevitable(不可避免的 ) part of ageing. As our bodies grow older, most of us find that many things we should remember are slipping out of minds. But new facts show that it s possible to slow time s effects on our minds. Once people thought that the brain(大脑 ) could not make new cells(细胞 ), but now studies show that learning new things can help brain grow and keep the illness away from the brain. Professor Eric Kandel, a Nobel Prize winner for his study of the human memory, says the best way to save our memories is to keep our brains in good shape. Through mental(脑力的 ) exercise, he says, people can keep their memories whole into their 80s and 90s. And Mark Mattson, a professor at the National Institute on ageing, says that reducing the amount of calories fed to older rats and mice by thirty percent can be a good help to learning and memory. While it s hard for many people to go on their diet(节食 ) like that, doctors tell us that even small steps can make big difference. 66. Doctors find out that _may be bad for your memory. A. delicious food B. eating too much C. drinking too much D. doing exercise 67. The underlined word “ slipping” in this passage means _. A. 1eaving quietly B. forgetting slowly C. growing fast D. coming badly 68. Who thinks that we can save our memories through mental exercise? _. A. Nobel B. Mark Mattson C. Eric Kandel D. A famous doctor 69. The writer thinks that _ is a big problem we face as we grow older. A. illness B. cell D. diet D. forgetfulness 70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? _. A. It was believed that nothing new could help brain grow B. It s possible for us to slow time s effects on our bodies C. It was not easy for many people to go on their diet ten years ago D. It is very important for the old to fight forgetfulness 第二部分 非选择题 (50 分 ) 请注意：考生必须将答案直接做到试卷上 五、用所给词的适当形式填空 (15 分 ) 1. Mr Wu is _(experience) in teaching. We all like his lessons. 2.

In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “ I dunno” instead of “ I don t know.” Or they may say “ Whaddya say?” instead of “ What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. (3)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “ phone them up” . In America, you “ give them a call” . When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “ Cheerio!” In America you might say “ See you later.” There re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “ do” when they ask a question. They say “ Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “ Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的 ) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French. (4)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样。 1. This passage is mainly about _. 2. What does the word “ separately” mean in this passage? It means “ _” . A. 含糊地 B. 快速地 C. 分开地 D. 简略地 3. Put the underlined sentence into Chinese. _ 4. Put the sentence into English. _ 5. How many differences has the writer told us between American English and British English? _ 八、书面表达 (15 分，书写占 2 分 ) 最近，群星英语报以“你心目中的好老师是什么样子的？”“一名受欢迎的老师应该有什么样的特点？”为题展开了调查和讨论，结果如下 (黑影部分 )： 请根据上图提示，结合自己的理解，围绕“ What is my favourite teacher like?
