It would to an American teenager- a job, a car, spending money, walking the dog and mowing the lawn. This isnt just the boring life of middle age but, in fact, this is the life of many American teenagers. In the US, it is common for kids as young as 14 to hold part-time jobs. They might save up their money to buy a car and, at 16, actually drive it. But this kind of independence(独立) isnt always fun. US kids need to take care of themselves and their younger brothers and sisters so that they are ready to live alone. The average age of a high school graduate in the US is 17. Traditionally, a US student graduates in June and moves out of his or her parents house by September. Of course, one must be ready for this. With a relatively small amount of homework, US high school students have more time for working and learning adult responsibilities(责任).Is it better to live this way? Its good to cook for oneself and do laundry, but US students dont study enough. While American kids are working, Chinese and Indian students are studying.The truth is, whatever you do now, you will never feel ready to be an adult.36. What does the conversation at the beginning of the passage suggest?A. American teenagers need to do housework at home.B. American teenagers wont drive cars unless they finish their housework.C. American teenagers must make money to support their families.D.American teenagers wouldnt do housework if they have part-time jobs.37. What age do US kids usually start to have part-time jobs?A. At the age of 13 B. At the age of 14 C. At the age of 16 D. At the age of 1738. What do US high school students traditionally do after graduating in June?A. Try to buy their own cars B. Move out of their parents houseC. Go to find a full-time job D. Find a part-time job39. What does the writer want to tell through the story?A. Its better for kids to be independent from an early age.B. American kids love having part-time jobs.C. American kids have enough time to study.D. Its not all good for American kids to be independent early.40. Which can be the best title for the article?A. American kids lives. B. Part-time jobs and full-time jobsC. The independence of American kids D. American kids part-time jobs【 C 】British people have always been good at saying “Im sorry”. They used to be so good at it that they would apologize(道歉)for things that werent even their fault.However, the British seem to be losing touch with their art. According to a new book by British writer Max Davidson, instead of saying “Im sorry” when they do something wrong, British people prefer to choose their words carefully.In this book, Sorry. The Hardest Word and How to use it, Davidson writes about a number of recent apologies. One example is of British television host Jeremy Clarkson. He described Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister(首相), as “a one-eyed Scottish idiot(笨蛋)”. (Brown is blind in his left eye)Clarkson was forced to apologize. He said: “In the heat of the moment, I made a remark(评论)about the prime minister. Now I apologize of reflection.” Davidson says the apology was just “going through the motions(做表面文章)”.Clarkson is not the only one. The best example may come from the UK MP(议员)Tessa Jowell. She said publicly: “If you feel our government falls short of what you expect, then I say sorry for that.”Jowell said “sorry”. But she is actually saying its not the governments fault but the voters fault for expecting too much from the government.Perhaps those people with influence feel they may lose too much by apologizing. But as a teenager, would you really want to lose a close friend, just because you couldnt say something as simple as, “Im sorry”? That would be hard to forgive.41. Who was the improper description “a one-eyed Scottish idiot” used to describe?A. Max Davidson B. Jeremy Clarkson C. Gordon Brown D. Tessa Jowell42. What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?A. The British are still good at apologizing.B. The British like to say sorry for everything they have done.C. The British say “Im sorry” in a different way now.D. The British lose too much by saying “sorry”.43. Who wrote the book called Sorry.The Hardest Word and How to Use it? A. Max Davidson B.Jeremy Clarkson C. Gordon Brown D. Tessa Jowell44. How was Clarksons apology according to the story?A. Sincere B. Friendly C. Rude D. Untrue45. What does the story mainly tell us? A. British people used to be polite and kind. B. British people like to go through the motions. C. British people choose their words carefully to apologize now.D. British people are expecting too much from the government.第II卷 非选择题(共60分)四、词汇运用 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)A) 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式。46. There used to be two _(鞋)factories here. But now they have moved out.47.

Only if you had the cookie could things be good.xk|b|1Unluckily, the cookie kept changing. Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes fancy things. A year and a half after his diagnosis(诊断)of cancer, he sits in my office shaking his head. “Its like I stopped learning how to live after I was a kid. When I give my son a cookie, he is happy. If I take the cookie away or it breaks, he is unhappy. But he is 2 years old and I am 43. It has taken me this long to understand that the cookie will never make me happy for long,” he says. “The minute you have the cookie, you start to worry about someone trying to take it away from you.” My patient laughs and says cancer has changed him. For the first time he is happy. No matter if his business is doing well or not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf. “Two years ago, cancer asked me: What is really important? Well, life is important - life with the cookie, life without the cookie. Happiness doesnt have anything to do with the cookie; it has something to do with being alive.” he pauses thoughtfully. “I guess life is the cookie.”根据上面的短文，回答问题：(答案不超过5个单词)56.
