They believe that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents dont like?51Many teenagers think their _ know them better than their parents do.Afriends BteachersCbrothers and sisters Dclassmates52When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to _.Ago to their friends Btalk with their parentsChave a discussion with their familyDtalk with their friends on the phone53Which of the following sentences is TRUE?ATeenagers can only go to their friends for help.BParents should like everything their children enjoy.CIn all families, children can choose everything they like.DParents should try their best to understand their children better.54The main idea of this passage is that _.ATeenagers need good friendsBFriends can give good adviceCParents often choose friends for their childrenDGood friends can communicate with each otherBThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. Im 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and dont do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics （歌词） and live them out in our daily lives.At the years end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.55Rose made herself known to the author in a _ manner.AseriousBcoldChumorousDcrazy56From the information provided in the passage, we know _.ARose enjoyed her campus life very muchBRose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college educationCRose finished the college degree within a yearDRose grew so old that she stopped playing57Rose delivered the speech _.Aat the graduation Bwhich she prepared carefullyCended with “The Song of Rose”Dto challenge all the other speakers58According to her speech, _.Awhenever you have a dream, you succeedBall people dont grow up while growing olderCRose usually regretted having done somethingDa nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesnt do anythingCEventsLong March exhibitThe Shanghai History Museum is putting on an exhibition to mark the 60th anniversary of the Long March. On show are more than 220 photos and 40 items that explain with pictures how the communist Red Army drew back from its besieged （被围困的） bases in Jiangxi Province and fought its way to northern Shanxi province in the mid-1930s.

The elephants give three shows a day at 9:30 am, 3:30 pm and 8:00 pm and there is an additional show at 1:30 pm at weekends.

BBlowing a mouth-organCDoing math DHaving a tug-of-war with people.62The dolphinarium in Peace Park is a hall where you can see_.Anot only dolphins but also seals and sea lions performBonly seals and sea lions perform Conly dolphins performDonly seals performDWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the worlds great religions （宗教） order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally （道德方面） right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil （恶行）. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.63What is mainly discussed in the passage?AMoral deeds of people.BReligious activities of the church.CMoral goodness of the giver.DArguments on giving to beggars.64What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed ?” in the second paragraph?APeople no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.BSome people will not do what was morally right in the past.CWe dont meet with those who need help any more.DNow it is the governments duty to help the beggars.65Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?ASome people dress up to pretend to be beggars.BSome beggars want money to help their children go to school.CSome beggars use the money to buy drugs.DSome beggars have no excuse for begging.66In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because _.Athe cases can be so differentBthere are so many beggarsCthere is so much money wastedDthere are so many different argumentsEOnce upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writ
