小题，每题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项ahomeboy goes to harvard universityon january 11, 2007, as students sat and listened, a very important guest speaker named richard, spoke to the students in the lecture hall. he not only showed the potential（潜能）within young adults, but encouraged them to work hard at their lessons.richard was a young child when his mother died and his father walked out. he was forced into many different foster homes（寄养家庭）where he felt unhappy. he did not know that his life was taking a turn for the worst.his uncle, after getting out of prison, got him into drugs and alcohol. his uncle taught him that his place in life was either to be in prison or die trying to be “a man.” his uncles teaching almost started affecting him until a very important person came into his life: a teacher. this teacher taught him there is a place in the world for everyone and it isnt related to drugs.richard is now a harvard university graduate and has a great and loving family. why? he was taught to have respect not only for others, but for himself.after the meeting, it was hoped that the students realized within them there is a potential, and within everyone around them, is knowledge. as richard reminded them, “knowledge is power.”56. on january 11, 2007, students listened to a speech made by richard, who graduated from _.a. harvard universityb. a foster schoolc. his teachers school d. his uncles university57. richard encouraged the students _.a. to love life b. to be a man c. to study hard d. to leave drugs58. when he was young, richard lived a（an）_ life in foster homes.a. rich b. unhappy c. relaxing d. interesting59. who played an important role in richards successful life?a. his uncle. b. his teacher. c. his friends. d. his parents.bmany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. i feel there are a number of reasons for this.some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. this has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. if there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.there is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. i agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. if children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.there is a third reason for this situation. children these days take very little exercise. they do not walk to school. when they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. what they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.the above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.60. according to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?a. those who often take exercise. b. those who often watch television.c. those who often have meals at home. d. those who often walk to school.61. the author thinks that children are becoming overweight becausea. their parents often cook meals for themb. they are too busy to go out and playc. they can t choose what to eat d. there are too many fast food shops around62. the word steer underlined in the last sentence most probably means _.a. force b. guide c. expect d. observe63. the main purpose of the text is to _. a. tell a story b. provide facts c. give advice d. compare opinionscmany teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. they believe that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well their friends do. in large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. it is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. this communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.however, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. the question of “choice” is an interesting one. have you ever thought of the following questions?who choose your friends?do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?have you got a good friend your parents dont like?64. when teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to _.a. go to their friends b. talk with their parentsc. have a discussion with their family d. talk with their friends on the phone65. which of the following is different in meaning from the sentence “some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.”?a. some parents may even not allow their children to meet their good friends.b. some parents may even ask their children to stay away from their good friends.c. some parents may even not let their children meet their good friends.d. some parents may want their children to stop to meet their good friends.66. which of the following sentences is true?a. parents should like everything their children enjoy.b. in all families, children can choose everything they like.c. parents should try their best to understand their children better.d. teenagers can only go to their friends for help.67. the main idea of this passage is that _. a. teenagers need friends b. friends can give good advice c. parents often choose their childrens friends for them d. good friends can communicate with each other da year ago, i paid no attention to english idioms, though myteacher emphasized（强调） the importance again and again. but soon, the importance of english idioms was showed in an amusing experience.one day, i happened to meet an englishman, on the road, and soon we began to talk as i was talking about how i was studying english, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head ,shrugging his shoulders, saying, “you dont say! you dont say!” i was puzzled, i thought, perhaps this is not a proper topicwell, i had better change the topic so i said to him, “well, shall we talk about the great wall? by the way, have you ever been there?” “certainly, everybody back home will laugh at me if i leave china without seeing it. it was magnificent（壮丽的，不凡的）.” he was deep in thought when i began to talk like a tourist guide. “the great wall is one of the wonders in the world. we are very proud of it. ” soon i was interrupted（打断） again by his order “you dont say!” i couldnt help asking, “why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “well, i didnt request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. i said, “didnt you say you dont say?” hearing this, the englishman laughed to tears. he began to explain, “you dont say actually means really? it is an expression of surprise perhaps you dont pay attention to english idioms” only then did i know i had made a fool of myself. since then i have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. 68. a year ago, i did not pay attention to english idioms because_.a. english idioms were too difficult to master b. i care little about the teachers instructionc. my teacher didnt emphasize the importance d. i
