me. and because dinner parties in london are very different from those back in new york. there, “im having a dinner party” means: “im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.” worse, in manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more. but if i try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: where are you going? and its not like i can say i have somewhere to go: everyone knows i have nowhere to go. but in london, dinner parties are in peoples homes. not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. the last time i went to one, the guests were from france, india. denmark and nigeria; it was like a gathering at the united nations in new york. the mix is less striking. its like a gathering at bloomingdales, a well-known department store. for new yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means brooklyn and queens in new york. but at mallerys, when i said that i had been to myanmar recently, people knew where it was. in new york people would think it was a usual new club36. what does the word shot in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. choice. b. try c. style. d. goal37. what does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in new york?a there is a strange mix of people. b. the restaurants are expensive.c. the bill is not fairly shared. d. people have to pay cash38. what does the author think of the parties in london?a. a bit unusual bfull of tricks cless costly d more interesting39. what is the authors opinion of some new yorkers from her experience？a. easy-going. b. self-centered. c. generous. d. conservative.b.children today would rather toy with new technologies. the role of children has changed as well as that of teens. the world has truly evolved throughout the years.today，a typical day in the life of a five year old is entirely different from what it once was. a few decades ago children used to work. they did the kind of work parents do today. today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. this makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections. they think they have to look perfect all the time.teens have changed as well. my grandma got married when she was thirteen. girls who had an arranged marriage had no time to play because they were expected to cook, clean，take care of the kids, and do housework every single day. today，we go to school every morning, maybe participate in some after-school activities, and possibly go to work for extra cash. then we go home and do homework, and eat. after all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. we enjoy ourselves a lot.the generation before us complains about how they did not have the things we have now. they say we are not appreciative and do not value life or just do not care about our futures anymore. lets make a change! the youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. take advantage of your resources. it is never too late to make a positive change in our world.40. the role of children and teens has changed mainly because _.a. they look perfect all the timeb. they dont have to work hard as their parents didc. their world has truly evolvedd. new technologies are developing and widely used 41. the underlined phrase (in the 2nd paragraph ) probably means to _.a. put up withb. make up forc.cover up d. put aside 42. we can learn from the text that nowadays teenagers _.a.are having a social life in richer waysb. do housework as their parents did c. are seldom satisfied with what they have d. dont appreciate and value life43. the authors attitude towards changes of teens life is _.a. optimisticb. neutralc. critical d. complainingcdepression(抑郁症)is a serious problem todaydepression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollarsone expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread，costly and deadly”depression hits one person in five around the worldalthough people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyone。over any six-month period，between five to seven percent of the worlds population will be suffering from a serious depressionuicide(自杀)rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large，and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. people who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping，getting up on time，and doing work productivelydepression，which researchers agree has its origin in the genes(基因)，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficientlydepression is made more serious in china by chineses inability to face itmany people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy besides，there is no good treatment，with few specialists available“most patients in china just dont get help，”a chinese doctor says“in my hospitali have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning，just have time to say “hello how do you feel？”in western countries，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that their boss would fire them“in my experience，aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. because they feel the most secure about themselves，”an american doctor sayshopefully，in the near future，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment44. which of the following is true according to the passage？a.it is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depressionb.depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and workc.depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countriesd.the

treatment and doctorsc.their unwillingness to tell it to their bossd.the doctors careless work47. what can we infer from the passage?a.people are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialistsb.the aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressedc.more and more patients will turn to specialists for helpd.western people are braver than chinese peopledhuman cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks. scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.with cloning, infertile couples could have children. current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.we should be able to clone the bone marrow（骨髓） for children and adults suffering from leukemia（白血病）. this is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. we may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. the above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. this new technology promises unprecedented （前所未有的）advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin.48.what does the underlined word “infertile” (paragraph 2) most probably mean?a. with
