He would not 5 a job until it was done. He 6 put his all into everything he did. However, he showed me this not just in

3、 working, but in everything. Like when I was in soccer, I wanted to 7 a game once, and he explained to me that I had made a 8 and that even if I just skipped one game, then I did not _9 to play the rest of the games. So the day I started my first job at the age of 14, I was 10 to show my father that

4、 I could do it well, and that I was not going to 11 . My entire 12 was to make my father proud of me. I knew that 13 I did, he would not say it in words, but he would show it. My first job was doing 14 for a company. As most of you know, construction is not an easy job, especially being so 15 . When

Many young people get through the troubled years of adolescence and emerge into adulthood reasonably safe and

10、sound. Too many youngsters, however, feel confused and ignored. Unable to climb out of the dilemma, these youngsters are socially and emotionally “at-risk”. They may suffer from such painful symptoms as anxiety, depression or anger.Many parents, in an honest attempt to help their adolescent from emo

11、tionally drowning, seek professional treatment. They put a great deal of faith in professional clinicians to find a way out for their child. However, many of these parents begin to recognize that solving the problem is more complex than they had initially realized. It has been my clinical experience

12、 that some parents who bring their resistant youngster for treatment see their child as being solely responsible for the problem. In many cases, the adolescent feels angry and defective for being pushed into treatment. We can gain some insight if we look at things through the eyes of the adolescent.

13、 The child is usually reluctantly brought by the parents to clinicians as what I call the “identified patient”. The youngster waits anxiously as the parents lay out the problem with the clinicians with remarks such as, “I dont know whats happening to my child lately, but hes not his old self. He doe

14、snt listen to me anymore, has been getting failing grades, acts out at school, and stays in his room all the time. Such descriptions at the beginning of treatment by the parents may strengthen feelings of incompetence on the part of the child. Such a pattern at the beginning sets up an intention of

15、resistance and leaves the potential for a positive outcome at risk.What many parents fail to realize is that the adolescents problem serves as a symbol for what is happening within the family system. Unknowingly, a youngster may become rebellious or depressed as a way of attempting to calm the psych

16、ic pain experienced by his family. To some degree, the childs behavioral problems represent an effort to distract attention away from the unstable state within his family. In such cases it represents a courageous attempt by the teen to minimize home-related problems. Eventually the problems become t

17、oo troublesome for the child and he continues to sacrifice himself for the sake of the family. Many times youngsters go to clinicians in the hope that treatment will aid in healing the entire family system.In my clinical experience, I have found that the troubled adolescent is more likely to find em

18、otional healing if the parents are actively involved in the treatment process. In such cases where family members are involved in treatment, the adolescents expectation for change tends to improve. With parental involvement, the teen begins to feel more competent, as other family members take the ri

19、sk to explore difficult family issues. 21. From the first paragraph, we can learn youngsters probably find adolescence _ A. particularly colorful and meaningfulB. full of various dangers and risksC. especially difficult to get through D. filled with anxiety and depression22. What causes a child to r

20、esist treatment when brought to clinicians? _A. The childs increased feelings of incompetence.B. Parents reluctantly bringing a child to clinicians.C. The parents initial descriptions of the childs problems.D. The parents looking at things through the childs eyes. 23. Which of the following is NOT p

21、arents misunderstanding? _A. Only their child is to blame for the problem.B. Their child is concerned about family harmonyC. Their troubled adolescent is a “identified patient”D. Solely pushing their child into treatment is the best way out BHalf of the worlds population lives in areas affected by A

22、sian monsoons（季风）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.Every summer, moist（潮湿的）air masses, known as monsoon, produce large quantities of rain

23、fall in India, East Asia, Indonesia, Northern Australia and East Africa, which are pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.According to Edward Cook, a weather expert at Columbia University in New York, the complex nature of the climate systems acr

24、oss Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area date to 1950, too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years travelling across Asia locating trees old enough to provide long-term records.

25、They measured the rings（年轮）or circles, inside the trunks of thousands of ancient trees at more than 300 sites.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a documenta Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas（地图集）. It shows the effect of monsoons ove

26、r seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry conditions. “If the monsoon basically fails or is very weak one year, the trees affected by the monsoon at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong,

27、 the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the tree chronology（年表）that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability. ” Armed with such a sweeping set of data, researchers say they now can begin to refine

28、 climate computer models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding,” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist who is with Am

29、ericas National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations paleoclimate（古气侯）branch studying weather patterns over the history of the Earth. “So, to get a knowledge of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a ki

30、nd of victory for climate science.”24. Whats the passage mainly about?AA breakthrough in monsoon prediction. BThe necessity of weather forecast.CThe achievements of Edward Cook. DThe effects of Asian monsoons.25It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_.Ait is hard to keep long-t

31、erm climate recordsBthey are formed under complex climate systemsCthey influence many nationsDthere is heavy rainfall in Asia26What can be inferred from the passage?AThe trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.BThe Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 ye

32、ars.CLong and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.DThe rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon- affected areas.27According to Professor Cook, the rings of the trees_.Adetermine the regional climateBhave a great influence on the regional

BPessimistic. CHumorous. DMatter-of-fact.C As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues caus

34、e greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take direct action, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage

35、 the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) . Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy o

36、utput cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. Against this backg

37、round, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say. We have some advice for th

38、e two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are eit

39、her misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an acceptable report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be availa

40、ble so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.29. We can learn from the first paragraph that_. A. energy policy catches much attention of the public B. the residents are in favor of the expansion of

41、 wind farms C. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies D. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents30. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_. A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based power B. guarantees an increase in energy output C. is expected to be

42、much better than that of nuclear power D. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation31. It can be inferred from the passage that_. A. an official report will settle the energy problem B. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms C. the two parties have agreed on a further

43、 negotiation D. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts32. Which of the following reflects the authors opinion? A. Increase political impact on energy policy. B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms. C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power. D. Leave the two p

44、arties to reach their own conclusions.DJohn Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose.His interest in he

45、r had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered th

46、e previous owners name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II. During the next year and one month the two

47、 grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldnt matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, th

48、ey scheduled their first meeting 7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. “Youll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose Ill be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face hed never seen.Ill let Mr. Blanchard tell you wha

49、t happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I stared at her, entirely forgett

50、ing to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way , sailor?” she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she

51、 had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose sp

52、irit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.This would not be love, b

53、ut it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment.Im Lieutenant

54、 John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?The womans face broadened into a tolerant smile. I dont know what this is about, son, she answered, but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coa

55、t. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test! Its not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynells wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to

56、 the unattractive. Tell me whom you love, Houssaye wrote, And I will tell you who you are.33. What was the real Miss Hollis Maynell like? AShe was a plump woman with graying hairBShe was a slightly fat girl, with blonde hairCShe was a middle - aged woman in her fortiesDShe was a young, pretty girl w
