Traveling, just like reading, is a refreshing journey, a temporary rest from the busy world. Here are 3 books we recommend(推荐) that you take on your trip.1.

While you may feel ready to make your own decisions about where and when to go, your parents will put limits on you. So you may find you are arguing with your parents more than you used to. The reason why your parents do this is that they care about you and want to protect you from danger.Here are some tips for how to avoid and handle arguments with your parents:Discuss the rules ahead of time and not at the last minute. This way you will be able to tell what they will say yes or no before you make plans. Your parents can also explain to you why each rule is in place. Ask them to give you the chance to explain how the rules make you feel and suggest what you think are right rules. Your parents may be willing to listen to your ideas and use them when making rules that you both agree on.Try to remain calm when your parents say no to something. You will show your parents that you are responsible and mature by talking instead of shouting.Spend time with your family. Some teens argue with their parents over the amount of time they spend with their friends. Communicate with each other and make some special family time so that you can all enjoy the time you spend at home. Suggest activities that your whole family will enjoy together such as going on a hike, taking a bike ride, or going to the beach.24. Your parents limit your activities mainly because they _.A. are worried about your safetyB. are worried about your studyC. think the thing youll do is badD. want you to be with them at home25. When your parents prevent you from doing something, you should _.A. argue with themB. control yourselfC. fight for your freedomD. not listen to them26. Whats the purpose of the family activities in the last paragraph?A. To build up their bodies.B. To visit more places of interest.C. To make parents happy.D. To make children and their parents get along better.27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to avoid arguments with your parents.B. Stupid rules parents make.C. How to say no to parents rules.D. Responsibilities and freedom for teens.CAfter attending another parent meeting regarding my 7-year-old childs behavior, I didnt know what to do. It was the second school we had tried for Nathan and, as always, everything was being done for my childs needs. It was also having bad effects on Nathan. He would come home and say, “Mom, I hate my life. I do not want to live anymore” I was afraid that my son was beginning to suffer from depression(抑郁) and that I was losing him. We needed help.By the age of seven, Nathan had already had three surgeries(外科手术) for his ears. He was in great pain, regardless of pain medication, which made it difficult for him to learn or pay attention. Despite Nathans bad condition, staff(员工) at two previous schools seemed as though they didnt care. They often forgot to deal with his medication(药物). As a result of many times of ear infections(感染), Nathan had hearing loss. To make things worse, Nathans speech was not very good. Children would play a trick on him and Nathan began to fall behind in study.When I first set foot into Ripley House Charter School, I knew this was the school for my son. It felt positive from the moment I entered. From the start, Mrs Elsen and her staff heard my concern over Nathan. Mrs Elsen addressed my concern, not with empty words but with action.That day, Nathan came home from his first day of school saying, “Mom, I love school!” By the end of the week he was saying, “Mom, I like my life. I have a good life.” Ripley House Charter School gave me my son back and saved our lives. Thank you for giving me back what we had lostHOPE.28. From the beginning, we can learn that _.A. the author felt helpless about his sonB. the author often attended the class meetingC. Nathan had been in great depressionD. no school would like to accept Nathan29. The second paragraph mainly talks about_.A. Nathans lessonsB. what Nathan sufferedC. Nathans performance in studyD. Nathans two previous schools30. What attitude did the author hold towards Ripley House Charter School?A. Thankful.B. Concerned.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.31. The underlined word “addressed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. spoke outB. dealt withC. listened toD. believed inDAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand(扩大) their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, theyre afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive(反应式的) rather than proactive(积极主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively(被动地) wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you dont use your English beyond the classroom, youll forget what English you know. Remember: use it or lose it! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.32. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A. Dont be fluent. Just be accurate!B. Dont be nervous, dont be shy. Just write!C. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. Just speak!D. Dont be shy, dont be fluent. Just listen and write!33. To improve their spoken English, students should do the following things EXCEPT _.A. try their best to enrich their vocabularyB. try to avoid being afraid of making mistakesC. pay more attention to listening before opening mouthD. try to be as reactive as possible in learning English34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Silence is gold.B. Better late than never.C. More hurry, less speed.D. Practice makes perfect.35. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A teachers diary.B. A report on study.C. A sports newspaper.D. A movie magazine.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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。All over the world people enjoy sports.
