These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services（宗教仪式）to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.21. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up childrenB. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up22. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home23. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It only has two kinds of color.B. It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mothers or Fathers Day.C. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.（B）My friend must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they havent thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something newMy sister died a few years agoWe never did have lunch togetherI cant remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunchShe would say to me: “I cant, my brotherI have clothes on the line” “My hair is dirtyI wish I had known yesterday” “I had a late breakfast” “It looks like rain” Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible（灵活的）Life is not made up of things that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventureAs we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longerPerhaps one morning, when we wake up, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “Im going to”, “I plan to” and “Some day, when things are settled down a bit”My seize-the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new startShe keeps an open mind about new ideasHer great interest in life is contagiousWith her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoesI have not touched ice cream for 10 yearsThe other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker（三层冰淇淋）If my car had hit an iceberg（冰山） on the way home, I would have died happy（C）The Harvard Student-led Walking TourLet a student show you Harvard on a free walking tour.We welcome our neighbors to stop by the Harvard University Events & Information Center, located in the Holyoke Center Arcade at 1350 Massachusetts Avenue in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge.Let a student take you and your family，school，or organization on an engaging，hour-long historical tour of the Harvard campusThe tours leave from the Events & Information Center.

Weekly broadcasts of the Voice of China began in July and it now leads audience ratings for its time slot (时段). And thats pushing its commercial value. Herbal tea brand Jia Duobao spent 60 million yuan to become the official sponsor, and the advertisement prices have more than doubled to 360,000 yuan for 15 seconds. The Voice of China, adapted from the original Holland music show, topped nationwide ratings rankings when it was first shown on Zhejiang Satellite TV, attracting 2.77 percent of the countrys TV audience. Every turn-round of the judges in the blind audition(盲选) brings a highlight. Na Ying, Coach, The Voice of China, said, “What most impressed me is its honesty. Thats why audiences love the show and trust it.” Judging the voice, and not the appearance makes the show stand out from the numerous other reality shows in China. And another selling point is that judges in the show are also mentors（导师）of the singers they choose. Or, one could say, the singers choose them, because if two or more judges want the same singer, the singer has the final choice. The mentors position makes them more involved. Na Ying also said, We want to encourage them. Because most of the team had to work hard for living, they didnt give up and tried their best to seize every opportunity to realize their music dream. Whether we turn around for them or not, we want them to stick to their dream and do what they really like to do. So even though some auditioners have to leave the stage, they dont leave with nothing. Gradually-built confidence and a determined faith in music are the shows most precious legacy（馈赠） for them. Jike Junyi, The Voice of China, said, “We surrounded him, and he sat in the middle and taught us many things about music. It felt really incredible when he shared his ideas with us.” Liu Huan, Coach, The Voice of China, said, Ive been thinking that different music genres (类型)could be divided on the the voice of China website, like rock&roll, jazz, R&B.because singers are different. We should work hard together to enrich Chinese music and the audience can enjoy different genres of music. Thats what were aiming for. Viewership has risen to a high of 4.5 percent. The producer Tian Ming says much of its success comes from a sense of honesty, talented voices and good mentors, as well as big investment and production. Tian Ming, Producer, The Voice of China, said, We want to express the spirit of confidence and self-improvement through a format(格式) of entertainment. We hope to touch the audiences hearts and were rewarded with high ratings. Tian says each adaptation of a popular Western TV show gives Chinese producers an opportunity to learn and improve. Maybe, one day, China will come up with a successful home-grown show format. 32. What is the best title for this passage? A. Coaches And Finalists of the Voice of China B. The Voice of China - A Hit in China C. Judging the Voice, Not the AppearanceD. Format of the Voice of China 33.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Blind audition is the last step of the singing competition. B. Na Ying and Liu Huan are judges as well as mentors. C. The Voice of China was first broadcast in July on CCTV music channel. D.The audiences love the show and trust it because mentors never lie.34. The series is based on a popular Western TV show The Voice of _. A. Italy B. America C. Holland D. England 35. We can conclude from the passage that _ A. Those who left the stage got anything but gradually-built confidence and a determined faith in music. B. Talented voices are one of the factors that lead to the success of the Voice of China. C. On the websites in China have already appeared music genres divided. D. Jike Junyi chose Na Ying as her mentor.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。选项中有两项多余选项。Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, youre going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 36 Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts （矛盾） can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts cant be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents. For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when youre all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, youd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation - for now. 37 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that youre listening. 38 Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others feelings can disagree without things getting ugly. 39 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say youre going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makerstheyre interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shoppingjust like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? 40 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
