Your insurance will cover what you have lost B The cleaners will take away food left in the bedrooms C Spare rooms are least likely to be available in summer D Students will be fined for lending their cards to others 58 The passage is probably taken from A a travel guide book B a hotel brochure C a school poster D a club newsletter B My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other s handwriting at a glance Although we grew up together we still had class outcasts From second grade on a small group started harassing 骚扰 two or three of the others I was one of those two or three though I didn t know why In most cases when children get picked on they aren t good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race But in my class we all read too much and didn t know how to play sports We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other s race This is what was so strange about my situation Usually people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group But in my class large differences did not exist It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked and rolled eyes when I turned around If 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 expense There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn t want to miss We walked to a comer of the playground Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book which I was told was the girl s diary I 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 last Looking back I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt If I were in that situation today I would react differently but I can t honestly be sure 59 The author was made an outcast because A she couldn t play sports as well as others B her family belonged to a minority group C her classmates found her clothes funny D her classmates 7 needed to find an outcast 60 How was the author treated as an outcast A She was often the target of teasing B No one responded to her talking C She was refused to approach others D Her diary was often made public 61 What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3 A She showed great sympathy with the girl B She joined others in making fun of the girl C She stopped the others from hurting the girl D She found more materials about the girl for jokes 62 What does the passage intend to tell us A Everyone is likely to become an outcast B We shouldn t hit a person when he is down C One should pay somebody back in his own way D Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others C Breaking the Code One 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 casual A year ago he would have ignored this disturbance but now he reacted impatiently and leaned back to his computer screen I made a mistake breaking into my teenager s personal space The average teenager has pretty strong feelings about his privacy Lara Fox and her friend Hilary Frankel told me Mr Frankel and Mr Fox both 17 are the authors of Breaking the Code a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents It 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 teenagers The girls dealt with issues including hanging out late money school pressures smoking etc Personally I welcome their opinions The 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 privacy Teenagers 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 approval Don t forget no matter how much we act as if we don t care what you say we believe the things you say about us Nancy a New York child raising expert said she didn t agree with everything the authors suggested but found their arguments reasonable When your kids are saying You don t 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 Mr Fox told me even though they used 8 to stay out late and ride their bicycles to school times have changed and the way parents educate children is different These days there is a major fear factor in bringing up kids Parents worry about their child crossing the street The writers said they hoped simply to throw light on teenage thinking 63 Why does the author mention the book Kids Are From Mars Parents Are From Venus A It is one of the best sellers B It is also written by the two girls C The two books have the similar theme D The two books have different opinions 64 The underlined sentence You don t get it and you never will in the 4th paragraph implies that A the teenagers don t want to admit their weakness B the teenagers think that their parents will never understand them C the parents do not necessarily force into the world of their children D the generation gap cannot be shortened despite their parents efforts 65 It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that A teenagers should guard their privacy B Nancy totally agrees with the two girls opinions C parents are more concerned about children s safety D the two girls have obtained numerous support from the public 66 According to the two girls teenagers nowadays are A independent B intelligent C sensitive D inconsiderate D Humankind 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 significantly People 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 luxuries Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources which requires energy In 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 it s 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 services Economic growth can also be explained as the increase in expected output which results from an increase in actual output or total demand There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods 9 and products at a faster rate the construction of large industrial plants is required These 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 people They also lead to global warming Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption The traditional energy sources which are commonly used nowadays are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment There also exist so called eco friendly sources of energy They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings In order to produce economically practical energy a sometimes significant transformation of the natural site is often inevitable This is expensive and has harmful effects on the environment Application of wind energy would Block airflows natural speed which is the reason for their decrease in strength after crossing the windmill Consequently 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 impossible 67 What does the passage mainly talk about A Pollution caused by plant construction B Effects of windmills on the environment C Economic growth and human civilization D Economic growth and environmental damage 68 What does the underlined word They in the third paragraph refer to A Goods and products B The industrial plants C Water and atmosphere D Negative health effects 69 According to the passage the author holds the opinion that A economic growth should be calculated in terms of GDP B use of natural resources causes no damage to the environment C industrial manufacturing may cause damage to the environment D a windmill is a perfect way to produce economically practical energy 70 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage 10 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 共 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多 余选项 Amazon Introduces a Digital Music Locker Amazon
