saying that their teenage children are rebellion（反叛的）. i wish it were so. at your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. you should be learning to stand on your own two feet. but take a good look at the present rebellion. it seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one anothers hands for safety.they say they want to dress as they please. but they all wear the same clothes. they set off in new directions in music. but somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. they have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧) -into a larger cocoon. it has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. industry has firmly opened up a teenage market. these days every teenager can learn from newspapers and tv what a teenager should have and be. and many of todays parents have come to award（奖励） high narks for the popularity of their children. all this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.but the difficulty is worth getting over. the path is worth following. you may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. you may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. you may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. well, go to it. find yourself. be yourself. popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.21.the writers purpose in writing this passage is to tell_.a. readers how to be popular in the worldb. parents how to control and guide their childrenc. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesd. people how to understand and respect each other22. according to the writer, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them_.a. are not sure of themselvesb. have much difficulty in understanding each otherc. dare not do thingsd. are very much afraid of getting lost23during the teenage years, one should learn to_.a. become different from others in as many ways as possible b. b. find ones real selfc. get into the right reason and become popular d. d. rebel against parents bdo you like to eat out? do you like to eat quickly? do you like inexpensive food? some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. in the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. in fact, many people in the states still go to diners today for the same reasons. a man named walter scott had the first “diner” in 1872. it wasnt a real diner. it was only a food cart. people on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. these carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. the meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. in 1887, samuel jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. however, they did not sit down. later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate. before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. in other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. diners changed in other ways, too. the original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. it included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. in addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. they were no longer carts on wheels.diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. they are usually buildings with large windows. inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. people can eat all three meals in a modern diner. today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as mcdonalds and burger king. however, the diner remains an american tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. it was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.24. a man named walter scott had the first “diner” in 1872. why is the word “diner” in quotation marks(引号)？a because it is spelled differently from “ dinner”b because the first diner was not what it is nowc because diner was a new wordd because it is a special kind of restaurant25. according to paragraph 3, diners changed in _a. two ways b. three ways c. four ways d. five ways26. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. diners existed before a fast-food restaurantb. the menu included more food than sandwiches and coffeec. burger king is a fast-food restaurantd. sandwiches became bigger27. the main idea of the passage is that _.a. the diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the united statesb. samuel johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come insidec. american diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersd. diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways ci came to study in the united states a year ago. yet, i did not know the real american society until i was injured in a car accident because after the car accident i had to see a doctor and go to court(法庭).after the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. i was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. but the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. i was astonished. he had good reason to charge me, he said. and if i wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury. id have to have a good lawyer. and only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that i should pay him.but every time i want to see doctor, i had to wait about 50 minutes. he would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. yet he charged me $115 each time. the final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.my lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. but after that he avoided seeing me at all. he knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. he simply waited to collect his money. he was so irresponsible that i decided to dismiss him. and he made pay him $770.now i had to act as my own lawyer. due to my inexperience, i told the insurance(保险) company the date i was leaving american. knowing that, they played for time, and i left without getting a cent.my experience taught me two things about america: firstly, in a country like america money is everything. it is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）. secondly foreigners are still being treated unfairly. so when we talk about america, we should see both its good and bad sides.28. the authors roommate offered to help him because -.a. he felt sorry for the authorb. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyc. he knew the doctor was a very good oned. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer29. the word “charge” in this passage means -.a. be responsible b. accuse c. ask as a price d. claim30. both the doctor and the lawyer in the passage are very -.a. friendly b. greedy c. professional d. busy31. what conclusion can you draw from the story?a. going to court is something very common in americab. one must very careful while driving a carc. there are more bad sides in america than good sidesd. money is more important than other things in america dnot all memories are sweet. some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. often they relive these experiences in nightmares. now american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories. in november, experts tested a drug on people in the us and france. the drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. the research has caused a great deal of argument. some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions, said roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry at harvard medical school. this could relieve a lot of that suffering. but those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). they also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. all of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said rebecca dresser, a medical ethicist.32. the passage is mainly about . a. a new medical invention b. a new research on the pill c. a way of erasing painful memories d. an argument about the research on the pill33. the drug tested on people can . a. cause the brain to fix memories b. stop people remembering bad experiences c. prevent body producing certain chemicals d. wipe out the emotional effects of memories34.

been produced in america35. which of the following does rebecca dresser agree with? a. some memories can ruin peoples lives. b. people want to get rid of bad memories. c. experiencing bad events makes us different from others. d. the pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.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。选项中的两项为多途选项。 （e涂为ab,f涂为ac,g涂为ad）are you truly happy? do you
