a friend visits you for the weekend, he or she can .Astay at a local guesthouseBbook an empty house for freeCuse an empty bed without permissionDshare your room by paying your roommate57Which of the following is true according to the passage?AYour insurance will cover what you have lostBThe cleaners will take away food left in the bedroomsCSpare rooms are least likely to be available in summerDStudents will be fined for lending their cards to others58The passage is probably taken from _Aa travel guide book Ba hotel brochureCa school poster Da club newsletterBMy eighth grade consisted of 28 classmatesWe knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each others handwriting at a glanceAlthough we grew up together, we still had class outcastsFrom second grade on, a small group started harassing （骚扰） two or three of the othersI was one of those two or three, though I didnt know whyIn most cases when children get picked on, they arent good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different raceBut in my class, we all read too much and didnt know how to play sportsWe had also been brought up to carefully respect each others raceThis is what was so strange about my situationUsually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger groupBut in my class, large differences did not existIt was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for themThe harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned aroundIf I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent Sometimes, someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expenseThere was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than IShe provided the group with a lot of material for jokesOne day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldnt want to missWe walked to a comer of the playgroundThree or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girls diaryI sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not lastLooking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it feltIf I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I cant honestly be sure59The author was made an outcast because _Ashe couldnt play sports as well as others Bher family belonged to a minority groupCher classmates found her clothes funny Dher classmates needed to find an outcast60How was the author treated as an outcast?AShe was often the target of teasingBNo one responded to her talkingCShe was refused to approach othersDHer diary was often made public61What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?AShe showed great sympathy with the girlBShe joined others in making fun of the girlCShe stopped the others from hurting the girlDShe found more materials about the girl for jokes62What does the passage intend to tell us?AEveryone is likely to become an outcastBWe shouldnt hit a person when he is downCOne should pay somebody back in his own wayDEveryone has a desire to be accepted by othersCBreaking the CodeOne school night this month I walked quietly up to Alexander, my 15-year-old son, and touched his cheek gently in a manner I hoped would seem casualA year ago he would have ignored this disturbance but now he reacted impatiently and leaned back to his computer screenI made a mistake: breaking into my teenagers personal space The average teenager has pretty strong feelings about his privacy, Lara Fox and her friend Hilary Frankel told me MrFrankel and MrFox, both 17, are the authors of Breaking the Code, a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescentsIt is being promoted by its publisher as the first self-help guide by teenagers for their parents, a kind of Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus that explains the language and actions of teenagersThe girls dealt with issues including hanging out late, money, school pressures, smoking etcPersonally, I welcome their opinionsThe most common missteps in interacting with teenagers arise from the war between parents exercising their rights to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers firmly guarding their privacyTeenagers can be quick to interpret their parents remarks and respond with anger that masks their vulnerability （脆弱 ）. Ms Fox said, What we want above all is your approvalDont forget, no matter how much we act as if we dont care what you say, we believe the things you say about usNancy, a New York child-raising expert said she didnt agree with everything the authors suggested but found their arguments reasonableWhen your kids are saying, You dont get it, and you never will, there are lots of ways to respond so that they will listen and that is what the writers point out My parents helped me see that, MrFox told me, even though they used to stay out late and ride their bicycles to school, times have changed and the way parents educate children is differentThese days there is a major fear factor in bringing up kidsParents worry about their child crossing the street The writers said they hoped simply to throw light on teenage thinking63Why does the author mention the book Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus ?AIt is one of the best-sellers BIt is also written by the two girlsCThe two books have the similar themeDThe two books have different opinions64The underlined sentence You dont get it, and you never will in the 4th paragraph implies that _Athe teenagers dont want/to admit their weaknessBthe teenagers think that their parents will never understand themCthe parents do not necessarily force into the world of their childrenDthe generation gap cannot be shortened despite their parents efforts65It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _Ateenagers should guard their privacyBNancy totally agrees with the two girls opinionsCparents are more concerned about childrens safetyDthe two girls have obtained numerous support from the public66According to the two girls, teenagers nowadays are _Aindependent Bintelligent Csensitive DinconsiderateDHumankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization Back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a person However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantlyPeople feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuriesProviding humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energyIn turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost inevitably associated with environmental damage Economic growth is the increase in numbers of goods and services produced over time by an economy, and its calculated in terms of real Gross Domestic Product （GDP）Before growth is calculated, inflation （ 通货膨胀） is adjusted in order to take into account its misleading effect on the price of goods and servicesEconomic growth can also be explained as the increase in expected output, which results from an increase in actual output, or total demandThere are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environmentThe first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is requiredThese plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or peopleThey also lead to global warmingIndustrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumptionThe traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environmentThere also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energyThey are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakingsIn order to produce economically practical energy, a sometimes significant transformation of the natural site is often inevitableThis is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environmentApplication of wind energy would Block airflows natural speed, which is the reason for their decrease in strength, after crossing the windmillConsequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage, whatsoever, is impossible67What does the passage mainly talk about?APollution caused by plant construction BEffects of windmills on the environmentCEconomic growth and human civilization DEconomic growth and environmental damage68What does the underlined word They in the third paragraph refer to?AGoods and products BThe industrial plantsCWater and atmosphere DNegative health effects69According to the passage, the author holds the opinion that _Aeconomic growth should be calculated in terms of GDPBuse of natural resources causes no damage to the environmentCindustrial manufacturing may cause damage to the environmentDa windmi
