how they feel about themselves and 1 out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them. most teens work through this 2 by the age of 16 or 17.often teenagers are treated like 3 bigger children, but they will never become 4 and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves. if parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it 5 without permission anyway. the role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and 6 .yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and 7 .as a result, teenagers always keep their 8 from their parents. teens often 9 that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them. parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to 10 their side of any problem and express their point of view.thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents. every parent should try to schedule time to be 11 with their child, like taking a short trip together. this time allows parents to talk and listen without 12 from work or other family members. it might also be good to encourage teens to 13 important issues at dinner. discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives. a persons teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own 14 ,like distinguishing good from evil. handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be 15 for parents and teens alike.1a. pointingb. figuringc. turningd. standing2a. stageb. difficultyc. routined. procedure3a. obviouslyb. lightlyc. extremelyd. slightly4a. tallb. healthyc. strongd. independent5a. bravelyb.

pitifully for 17 owner to claim it, otherwise itll remain alone as a deserted umbrella. once i suddenly found my longtime 18 (use) umbrella “disappeared”. i really got lost and regretted quite some time 19 my own carelessness. several days later, out of my 20 (expect), i saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where i worked. i was extremely glad to regain it. looking carefully at it,

should have paid 23 (much) attention to it.it sets me thinking. around us there are always people giving us support in silence just like 24 umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched

homeless and offer them something to drink and to eat. i know its tough to survive on the streets. last night i ran into a group of 30 kids who were living on the streets in new york. my heart went out to them and i just wanted to cry. but i had to be strong.i asked about their families and if they contacted them to let them know they were alive. most of them said, “no!” they all looked like a

stopped his hand from my purse and disappeared into the crowd. somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly werent easy to find. when i finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily, and i was sweating like a basketball player. i couldnt stay. could i? the wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire. the bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building. welcome to paris. i sincerely wanted to die. i missed my friends. i was entering my third week away from home and my kids, and i had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and frightened.the most important thing i did in paris happened at that moment. i knew that if i didnt go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, i would hide in this small room my entire time in paris. i might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual. so i went out. evening in paris was light and pleasant. i walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain. no one seemed to be in a hurry. paris was beautiful. and i was here alone and suddenly not lonely. my sense of accomplishment overcoming my fear and weakness had left me feeling free. i wore out two pairs of shoes during my weeks stay in paris. i did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my european vacation. i returned home, becoming a believer in the power of traveling alone. now when i meet difficulties i just say to myself, “if i can go to paris, i can go anywhere.”31. what

independentb. the power of feeling free c. the power of becoming optimistic d. the power of overcoming difficultiescwhen people think of hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true. this did not apply to f. scott fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land. fitzgerald was not a successful hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose. he was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion. it was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous.growing up as a boy, fitzgerald went to movies a lot. he wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies. the problem was: just because fitzgerald wanted to do something didnt necessarily mean that he was good at it. he made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script（剧本）to screen too much. his plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental（感伤的）.fitzgeralds quick rise to fame also led to his fall. in life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for fitzgerald. at his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including the great gatsby and babylon revisited. as the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public. he became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up. his marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally. he seemed unsure about his life. fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of emlyn williams play the light of heart and production of one of his own scripts, cosmopolitan. however, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”. fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life. he wanted “to be both a great novelist and a hollywood success, to write songs like cole porter and poetry like john keats”. his addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a hollywood writer.36. which is a reason that fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?a. he was not talented in screenwriting.b. he had a miserable family life.c. he spent too much time watching movies.d. he was greedy for money in his life.37. fitzgeralds screenwriting was _.a. disappointing in endingb. complex in plotc. playful in toned. simple in dialogue38. which of the following was not written by fitzgerald?a. the great gatsbyb. babylon revisitedc. the light of heartd. cosmopolitan 39. when fitzgerald had another chance at success, he _.a. took full advantage of itb. went back home to start businessc. refused to make changesd. started to write songs and poems40. what is the best title of the passage?a. fallen for fame addiction: f. scott fitzgeraldb. an inch into fame: f. scott fitzgeraldc. f. scott fitzgerald: a great novelistd. f. scott fitzgerald: a great screenwriterdi am a vegetarian（素食主义者）. many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior. i treasure our earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it. but thats only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives. there is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases. from an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet. while there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed.the most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily. creativity is almost as important as commitment. its easy to tire of eating nothing but salad. but with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly. not everyone wants to be vegetarian. accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style. forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful. stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts. being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others. a common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change. it can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation. however, it fades over time. another common mistake is quitting because youve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian. thats why it is vital to be educated. countless people will tell you that its impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein（蛋白质）your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect. people actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet. many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial. it leads to diseases. vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs. however, if youre still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.41. according to the passage, being a vegetarian helps _.a. protect the wildlifeb. free people from diseasesc. rid people from strange behaviorsd. develop a better economy42. whats the underlined word temptation in paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?a. unpleasant tasteb. extreme attractionc. great consumptiond. significant importance43. stylish vegetarians do not _.a. force others to be vegetariansb. respect other peoples beliefsc. turn down hosts gracefullyd. refuse an offer of meat44. which of the following is not true?a. many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition.b. many people quit because theyre poorly educated about nutrition.c. consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful.d. vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy.45. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. reasons why the author became a vegetarian.b. important qualities required to be a vegetarian.c. advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian.d. common mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian.第二节：信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按要求匹配信息，在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是几本新书的简要介绍：a. strong is your hold this
