阅读理解（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分）aargentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. around 1870,it was experiencing an economic boom(繁荣), and the capital, buenos aires, attracted many people. farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from spain and italy, came to buenos aires seeking jobs. these jobs didnt pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. as the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.at the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. it was danced in the bars and streets. at that time there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didnt want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of argentinean society and became more respectable.in europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. this interest in international dance was especially evident in paris. every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the paris theaters. after tango dances from argentina arrived in europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafes. though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.the popularity（流行）of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. soldiers who returned to the united states from world war i brought the tango to north america. it reached japan in 1926, and in 2003 the argentinean embassy in seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promoted tango dancing throughout south korea.61. the origin of the tango is associated with _.a. belly dancers b. american soldiersc. spanish city d. the capital of argentina62. which

the tango b. the history of the tangoc. how to promote the tango d. the modern tango boombwhy do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens? for this, there are many reasons but most of them stem from not being able to properly understand their teens. it is a dangerous gap because parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues during the most important years of their lives. thus, parents must know how to communicate openly and honestly with their teens.here are a few tips to make communication easier between parents and teenagers.1. try not to talk down to your teens. make them feel as if their views really matter, which not only helps your discussions with your teen but bring you closer to him.2. imagine what it would be like to be a teen. try to remember some of the negative feelings you experienced as a teenager and apply it to your teens situation.3. never make negative remarks to your teen about what she has said or done.4. remember how much courage it would have taken for your teen to come and talk to you about his personal issues. so listen respectfully.5. dont ignore your teens feelings because it is usually a cry for help. for instance, if your teen is unusually angry, it may be time to spend a bit of quality time with your teen to determine what is wrong and where he is coming from.it is, therefore, necessary for parents to strive to keep lines of communication open at all times with their teens. try to remember what it was like to be a teenager and how vulnerable（脆弱的）you felt. then you will be well on your way to help your teen communicate more openly and honestly.65. why dont teens want to talk about their personal issues with their parents?a. because they cant respect their

communicationd. problems with communication between teens and parentsca popular saying goes, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” however, thats not really true. words have the power to build us up or tear us down. it doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.we all talk to ourselves sometimes. were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. in fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.this “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. so in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. we should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. the next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “good job!”often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. for example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. and the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.words possess power because of their lasting effects. many of us regret something we once said. and we remember unkind words said to us! before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: is it true? is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.69. there is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _. a. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves b. talking to ourselves always gives us courage c. we can benefit from talking to ourselves d. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone70. the underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _. a. remind ourselvesb. praise ourselves c. make ourselves relaxedd. give ourselves amusement71. the author would probably hold the view that _. a. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers b. negative words may motivate us to make more progress c. people tend to remember friendly words d. it is better to think twice before talking to others 72. in which column of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage? a. news. b. advice column.c. health.d. language.第ii卷（非选择题共36分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共l0小题；每小题l分，满分l0分）注意：每个空格只填l个单词。请将答案写在答卷纸上相应题号的横线上。 visiting a new place can be a scary
