27、ill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.One in ten teenage girls harms herself each year according to the largest study of self-harm among teenagers in England. The problem is 51 more widespread than previously thought, say the researchers. They 52 that self-harming is s

28、o 53 that it is a most pressing health issue for teenagers. In the survey of more than 6,000 pupils 54 15 and 16, girls were four times more likely to have engaged in self-harm than boys. Three percent of boys were harming themselves last year 55 with 11 percent of girls. Previous, 56 , estimates we

29、re based on the 25,000 youngsters who go to hospitals in England and Wales each year as a result of deliberate self-poisoning or self-injury. 57 , research by the universities of Bath and Oxford _58_ that only 13 percent of self-harming 59 reported by pupils actually resulted in a hospital visit. Al

30、though self-poisoning is the most common form of self-harm reported in hospitals, 60 is the more prevalent form of self-harm followed by overdose, the research says. 51.

32、ting C. dying D. suffering(B)It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents dont 61 them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too 62 and too strict with their children; and they se

33、ldom give their children a 63 hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when 64 . For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 65 that they have grown up a

34、nd they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something 66 . When you want your parents to let you do something, you will be more 67 if you ask for their permis

35、sion before you really start doing it. Young people often make their parents angry at their 68 in clothes, in entertainment and music. But they do not mean to 69 ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been 70 . Thats why young people want to ma

36、ke a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so 71 yourself that you do not want your parents to say yes to what you do. All you want is to be left alone an

37、d do what you like. It is 72 enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were 73 under your parents control. If you plan to control your 74 , youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of 75 , they will certainl

38、y give you the right to do what you want to do.61. A. protect B. refuse C. understand D. guide62. A. serious B. kind C. considerate D. honest63. A. helpful B. free C. usual D. real64.

A. beauty B. time C. responsibility D. leadership. Reading Comprehension 20%Directions: Read the following passages. Each

41、passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known

42、 that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity maybe linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. We have found that the power of th

43、e male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 ears of age, said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not re

44、placed in men, said Goldspink. This is part of the ageing process. What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones. This gender difference might just explain why women live

45、longer than men, said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink. The good news is that

46、 men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.76. The underlined word longevity in the second paragraph probably refers to _. A. health B. long life C. ag

47、eing D. effect77. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _. A. women have more cells than men when they are born B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age D. women never lose their pumping power with age78.We ca

48、n know from the passage that _. A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss D. women over 7

49、0 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20(B)When Paige Pipkin was twelve years old, she wanted to be a champion speller. She could already spell words that many others could not, but she knew that a real champion had to spell every word that he or she was asked. She studied many list

50、s of words and learned all the rules for correct spelling. Paige Pipkin became such a good speller that she was able to win many contests - so many that she traveled to Washington, D. C. to compete in the national spelling contest that is held there each year. When finally there were only two spelle

51、rs left, Paige learned how difficult it is to be the very best: she spelled her last word wrong. She was proud to be the second best speller in the United States, but she was sorry not to return home as a champion. This is not the end of the story. Paige, a very determined young lady, continued to c

52、ompete in spelling contests. A year later, when she was thirteen, she again found herself competing in the nations capital. This time her last word was sarcophagus. If she could spell that word, she would truly be the national champion. Slowly, nervously, but carefully, she said, S-A-R-C-O-P-H-A-G-U-S. Moments later, she was given
