Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr. who has proven to be a strong and intelligent person.However, in todays world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate (模仿) their actions for two major reasons. First, to be fashionable and be accepted by popular culture, and second, because stars actions are so well documented (记录) by the media that it seems to grab our attention. Many of the reports about stars are shocking and exhibit bad morals (道德) or lifestyles that arent right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We cant always blame stars for influencing them. Only teens have control over themselves and only they choose to do something. Their bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight（聚光灯）. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence teens whether they want to or not. Why does someone who doesnt want to be setting an example set one? So, should teens look up to them or the people who are true and good role models? Its teens responsibility to tell right from wrong, and its time for them to take responsibility for their actions. In doing so, they will lean towards those inspiring people that want to be setting examples, and follow in their footsteps.25. The teens like to imitate stars in order to .A. be reported by the media B. become more fashionableC. know more about stars stories D. be accepted by the society26. According to the author, the role the media play in setting examples to teensis .A. positive B. reasonable C. negative D. inspiring27. The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teens to .A. keep a balance between study and entertainmentB. follow in fashionable stars footsteps to be more popularC. be responsible for their own choices and behaviourD. choose their role models through different reports28. The underlined word “they” in last paragraph refers to .A. stars. B. teens. C. reporters. D. role models.CMr. White sold kinds of machines to farmers, which he thought was not really a very exciting job, but he had always been interested in travelling on business.He had a big car, and usually enjoyed driving long distances, but he was also quite satisfied to go by train sometimes, especially when the weather was bad. He was a little frightened of driving in the rain or snow, and it was less tiring to sit comfortably in a train and look out of the windows without being worried about how to get to the next place.One of Mr Whites problems was often where to stay when he reached some small places in the country. He did not expect timely and wonderful food, but he found it annoying (令人恼火的) when he was given a cold room, and when there was no hot water after a long and tiring journey.Later one winter evening, Mr White arrived at a small railway station. The journey by train that day had not been at all interesting, and Mr White was cold and tired and hungry. He was looking forward to a simple but satisfying meal by a brightly burning fire, and then a hot bath and a comfortable bed.While he was walking to the taxi stand, he said to a local man who was also walking there, As this is my first visit to this part of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to find out the hotels before I left home, I would very much like to know how many hotels you have here.The local man answered, We have two.And which of the two would you advise me to go to? Mr White asked then.The local man scratched (抓挠) his head for a moment and then answered, Well, its like this-whichever one you go to, youll be sorry you dont go to the other.29. What was Mr. White according to the passage?A. He was a traveller.B. He was a reporter.C. He was a worker.D. He was a businessman.30. After he got to his destination (目的地), Mr. White most expected to .A. sell machines well and earn much moneyB. make many friends to sell machines to farmersC. get a warm and comfortable room with hot waterD. have timely and delicious food31. On a rainy day, Mr. White preferred to travel .A. on his own car B. by train C. by bus D. by bike32. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the local man didnt know which hotel was betterB. Mr White liked his job very muchC. neither hotel in that place was goodD. Mr White wasnt afraid of driving in the rainDBe grateful. Gratitude is a sign of appreciation and you ought to show appreciation for life. Always wake up every morning in acknowledgement that someone died the previous night but you didnt and that someone did not wake up but you did. I have food on my table; I have clothes to wear; I have a good paying job even though my boss is a fool.Make somebody happy. When you sow happiness, you reap happiness. Mother Teresa knew this secret so well; she devoted her life to helping others even if it simply meant putting a smile on someones face. Here is a sum of two of her famous quotes: A life not lived for others is not a life; let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.Act as if you are happy. Smile always, even when you are feeling blue. When the body acts, emotions follow. A smile costs nothing but it creates much. It enriches those who receive it without making those poor who give. Learn to smile at all times. It will not only make you happy, but win you happy friends.Stay close to friends. I was feeling very sad and depressed at work one Friday morning. I didnt know what to do so I approached a friend and we got talking. I shared my burden with her and we had a brief talk. By the time I finished pouring out my heart to her, I already knew why I was not happy and what I had to do as well. Dont be afraid to share your feelings with friends; it works.33. What does the underlined word acknowledgement probably mean?A. thanks B. fright C. regret D. sorrow34. When you are feeling upset, you ought to .A. pretend to smile happily in front of othersB. be thankful as others are unlucky to leaveC. communicate with friends you rely onD. devote yourself to making others feel happy35. Which of the following can be the best title?A. How to Live a True Life for OthersB. How to Stay Happy Whatever HappensC. How to Keep Fit Mentally and PhysicallyD. How to Bring Happiness to an Unhappy Life第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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For many high school students it seems that there is never enough time. There are several steps you can take to organise your time better.First, make a to-do list every day. It makes it easy to plan any of the activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities (优先的事物). 36Use spare time wisely. Do you have study hall (自习时间)? Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework. 37 If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realise which is more important and see your friend later.Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school. Review your notes every day. 38 If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learnt, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.39 Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory. When you are tired, everything seems more difficult. It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you. 40 You can call your friends later.A. Also, do not be afraid to say no.B. Do the most important tasks first.C.
