a. they have three types in total b. they are too few to choose from c. they are only designed for homework d. they are designed for different uses27. what can be the best title for the text? a. great changes in science and technology b. the use of mobile phones will be gone c. ways to choose from different mobile apps d. better language learning with mobile appscas the world around them is changing, teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely(可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them. peer(同龄人)pressure has always been a big part of the teens experience. even the best father cant completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. however, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗)the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example. teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. an interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially dad. swiss researchers discovered that if dad attends church, even though mom doesnt, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. but if mom goes regularly and dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend. teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. fathers dont get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. for example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents concern on what to do when they finish high school. should they go directly to college and, if so, where? should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? a fathers guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.28. teenagers without fathers focus are more likely to _. a. have higher self-worth b. experience some dangerous things c. become the best students in school d. resist all bad effects of peer pressure29. what does the third paragraph tell us?

a. point of view b. job c. school d. lots of concern31. what can we learn from the text? a. fathers should make choices for teenagers directly b. teenagers care less about what their parents do c. mothers have no effect on their childrens life d. teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathersdwe know that cigarette smoking kills. so, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco. although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them.they are powered by battery(电池). however, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the united states center for disease control (cdc) seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings? the answer is children. most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices, in the period of one month this year, the center said 215 people called the center with e-cigarette concerns. more than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger. the devices had made them sick tim mcafee is director of the centers office on smoking and health. he says the problem is regulation, meaning the u.s. federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. mr.mcafee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. mr. mcafee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed. it can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance. and too much nicotine can kill. tim mcafee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do. he notes that almost 500,000 americans die each year from cigarettes. so, cigarettes are the winner in that contest. e-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes. so, the u.s. surgeon general boris d.lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use. but mcafee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless. they could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes. in other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a gateway to the real thing.32. what do the producers think of e-cigarettes?a. dangerous b. expensive c. safer d. cheaper33. why did the cdc receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?a. parents feared that their children might get poisoned,b. parents found the device useless in quitting smokingc. children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the deviced. children might get addicted to playing with the device34. it can be inferred from the passage that a. the cdc wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettesb. the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettesc. surgeon general boris d. lushniak is a heavy smokerd. smokers most probably cant quit smoking using e-cigarettes35. what is tim mcafees opinion about smoking?a. adults should use harmless e-cigarettes.b. smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick.c. he claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking.d. he is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes.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。what is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 36 read the following list of things that happy people do differently from unhappy people and you will know. well, i can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more. they see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 37 happy people understand that you cant really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. but they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 38 but rather, they ask themselves questions like: what can i learn from this? how can i make this better? they always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. they do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. 39 _they care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. the fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most. _ 40 _ they make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. they look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.a. they have an ideal living and a balanced life.b. what are the things that these people do differently?c. they are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love. d. the things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.e. they are ready to accept whatever lies in front of them.f. they understand that doing what you love is the most important for living a full life.g. when something unpleasant happens to them, they dont try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。in the doorway of my home, i looked closely at my 23-year-old son, daniel. in a few hours he would be flying to france to 41 a different life. it was a transitional(过渡的) time in daniels life. i wanted to 42 him some words of significance. but nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 43 time i had let such moments pass. when daniel was five, i took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. he asked, “what is it going to be like, dad?
