rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. my mom was extremely nervous about it. she kept telling me how things were different in puerto rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. she helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.but despite her worries，she let me go on my own. as i moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. when i reached my senior year，i decided to move away for college. once again i found that i differed from my peers：while many of them wanted to stay close to home，i couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me.one big thing i realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. that means a lot. most of my life，and especially when i was little，the main person i tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. i knew she expected nothing but the best from me. sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards；getting a single b on my report card would make me feel bad because i knew she wanted me to have all as.i know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important，like education，and made me who i am. i am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .most of all i respect her. she is the strongest woman i know and thats why i have turned out so strong and independent.21.when the author decided to go to puerto rico，his mother_. awanted to go with him bworried about his safetycdidnt allow him to do sodasked his grandmother for advice22.the author decided to move away for college to_. abe different from his peersbkeep away from his mothercbe independent in the outside worlddmake his mother unhappy23.we can learn from the third paragraph that the

way to becoming independentbhis good relationship with his mothercthe importance of a mothers trust and supportdhis mothers deep love for himbif you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you dont need to feel surprised. they are a flash mob(暴民). who are they? are they mobs? dont be confused by their name. actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.they are usually organized with the help of the internet or other digital communications networks. the messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. at a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.bill wasik, senior editor of harpers magazine, organized the first flash mob in manhattan in may 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on june 3, 2003. wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.the flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. people use it to do many things. for example, in 2009, michael jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing michaels famous song “beat it” together. flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.25.what is not the feature of the flash mob? ait can get together quickly.bit can change its place freely.cit can do activities suddenly.dit can injure people seriously.26.how do flash mobs inform one another?by using the internet.by writing letters.by yelling.by waving hands.by using mobile phones.by holding a meeting. a bcd27.why did bill wasik create the flash mob? ato advertise some products.bto help people make friends.cto laugh at fashion seekers.dto create some memories.28.what can we learn about the flash mob from the passage? abill wasik organized the first successful flash mob in may, 2003.bpeople are encouraged to take a more active part in an activity.cflash mobs tend to do something illegal for a short time.dflash mob gathering can frighten all the people present.cforeign teachers are needed all over chinaad no90374posted february 12, 2016 by amandaexpire date april 12,

surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. we have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. we are paying for products that harm us psychologically（心理上的） and physically. diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. on one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. all we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. on another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. the danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.32. from paragraph 1, we learn that _. adiet products fail to bring out peoples potentialbpeople are fed up with diet productscpeople have difficulty in choosing diet productsddiet products are misleading people33. one psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _. ahesitate before they enjoy diet foodsbpay attention to their own eating habitscwatch their weight rather than their dietdtry out a variety of diet foods34.the purpose of writing this passage is _. ato warn people of the side effect of diet productsbto tell people how to lose weightcto advise people to eat diet productsdto introduce some diet products35.which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage?cp: central point p: point sp: sub-point(次要点) c: conclusion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。if someone says you are smart, what dothey mean? 36 the answer is not as easy as you might think.this is because the word smart has many meanings. for example, someone could say you look smart or aredressedsmartly. 37 to use a slang expression(俚语), they could say, “you look really cool!” 38 if you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you might shout, “wow!that smarts!” if you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes aresmartingfrom the smoke of the fire. here the word “smarting” means a sharp pain. 39 if someone issmart as a whip(鞭), they are able to think very quickly.however, different people have different ways of being smart. some people are consideredstreet smart. they may not have a strong education. but they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. other people might bebook
