I initially thought my fly was open, or that something was stuck in my teeth. But as I took my seat, I heard one student whisper, “Why is a black boy taking Honors?” So, my fly wasnt open. An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown.Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in, or expect me to listen to only “black music.” In seventh grade, a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes. They called out to me, “Go get your gangsta clothes.” In one of my Spanish classes, the teacher asked me, “Do you like rap music or rock music more?” I replied, “Rock.” The look of shock on my classmates faces made me uncomfortable.Now I still take all Honors courses. I still wear clothes that fit me. My music library covers from rock to pop to techno, and almost everything in between. When it comes to choosing my friends, I am still colorblind. I continue to do my best to work in school in order to reach my goals; and yet, when I look in the mirror, I still see skin of that same brown.I believe in being myself. I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what actions I take in life. In high school, popularity often depends on your willingness to follow trends. And Ive been told that it doesnt get much easier going into adulthood. But the only other option is to sacrifice my personality for the satisfaction and approval of others. This can be appealing, but Im not going to do that.24.Why did his classmates laugh at him?A. His fly was open.B. Something was stuck in his teeth.C. He went into the wrong classroom.D. They had prejudice against him.25.What are black people usually believed to do?A. Listen to rap music.B. Wear small clothes.C. Take Honors courses.D. Attend Spanish classes.26.What does the underlined word “colorblind” probably mean?A. Making friends of the same skin color.B. Having no idea what friends to make.C. Treating people equally and fairly.D. Feeling hurt and offended inside.27.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Following Popular TrendsB. Being Content with MyselfC. Having Faith in Skin ColorD. Changing My PersonalityCThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they arent speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always trumps(王牌) friend.28.The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. differ B. preventC. benefit D. change29.What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.30.The author proves his statements mainly by _.A. listing data B. giving explanationsC. quoting sayings D. making examples31.What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughter？ B. Who is a mothers best friend?C. Mother or friend? D. Can a mother be a daughters best friend?DSkeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.32.According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.33.Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs book?A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.D. Industryfunded media present confusing information.34.The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.A. voice a different opinionB. find fault with Lomborgs bookC. challenge the authority of the mediaD. point out the value of scientific views35.What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.B. To warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews.C. To blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.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。Caregivers care for someone with an illness, injury or disability.
