阅读理解。     It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
"Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
     That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
They are breaking away from you so that they"ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
     Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children"s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
young adult, they"ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
they are right now they need to separate from you.
     Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.
Let them know clearly that it"s not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it"s because it"s
a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
     When they"re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs. 1. The underlined word "That" in Paragraph 2 probably refers to "_____". [     ]
A. teens no longer tell parents their detailed information
B. teens don"t tell parents where they had been any more
C. parents are impatient to listen to their children
D. parents are occupied by doing their business 2. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. [     ]
A. the generation gap is becoming wider and wider
B. teens quarrel a lot with their parents
C. teens don"t want to live with other family members
D. some parents feel distant from their teenage children 3. The author believes that teens" one-word answers show _____. [     ]
A. their awareness of independence
B. their physical and mental changes
C. an unpleasant parent-child relationship
D. their wishes for keeping silent 4. What"s the main idea of the last paragraph? [     ]
A. Parents should understand their children.
B. parents should keep their children safe.
C. Parents should open their hearts to their children.
D. Parents should give their children enough freedom. 5. What"s the author"s purpose in writing the passage? [     ]
A. To give advice
B. To direct teenagers
C. To present findings
D. To comfort parents

阅读理解。     Parents should stop blaming themselves because there"s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager
problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and
helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
     I"ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right
from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman.
I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no
attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick
glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don"t know what to do with him these days," she said.
     "He"s forgotten all the manners we taught him." He hasn"t forgotten them. He"s just decided that he"s not
going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from
the sofa onto the floor.
     Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare
at me and say, "I don"t like your dress; it"s ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.
The other has left home.
     "Where did we go wrong?" their parents are now very sad. Probably no one is to blame on this issue. 1. This text is most probably written by _____. [     ]
A. a specialist in teenager studies
B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children
D. a doctor for mental health problems 2. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to _____. [     ]
A. the change from good to bad that"s seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow 3. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _____. [     ]
A. pay no attention to them
B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them
D. feel helpless to do much about them 4. What is the writer"s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? [     ]
A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

阅读理解。     I don"t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap (打盹,
小睡) after dinner.
     If you didn"t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at
bedtime. If you didn"t nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the
need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This
helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.
     You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in
some sort of physical activity-a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening
of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get
a good night"s rest without taking a pill.
     If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during
the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television
or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later,
get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours" sleep
that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will
be ready to sleep at an earlier hour. The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and
avoid taking pills. 1. According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleep because _____.[     ]
A. you get the habit of staying up late
B. you haven"t taken sleeping pills
C. you sleep for hours after dinner
D. you fail to do some exercises 2. Which of the following is NOT true if you want to get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening? [     ]
A. Go to bed earlier than usual.
B. Talk with friends after dinner.
C. Stay with friends after dinner.  
D. Do some physical labor. 3. You feel tired all day probably because _____. [     ]
A. you stay up too late
B. you get up too early in the morning
C. you take sleeping pills
D. you wake up too frequently at night 4. We may infer that the author is most probably a _____.[     ]
A. doctor   
B. reporter   
C. scientist
D. professor

任务型阅读。请认真阅读短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。      Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You no longer need to walk round hundreds of shops looking
for the items you need. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is
a computer which is linked to the Internet.
     People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books,
CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common purchases (购入品) through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as on-line news, magazine stories, or computer software. Services
such as booking airline tickets, reserving (预定) hotels or renting cars are also available (可得到的) on the
Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in online games or
e-mail "chats".
     Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.
You can shop when you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day, and you do not have to queue with
other shoppers at the check-out counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for. Finally, it is
often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
     The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or
check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.
Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding
ways to make on-line payment safe.
     Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead. It promises to change the
way we buy all kinds of thing-from tonight"s dinner to a new car.

     For a girl who"s interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no-that"s for
a pencil thin who doesn"t eat. One answer is, fashion stylist.
     Girls can find it hard to ignore this attractiveness and the field is opening up to normal girls, not only style
or fashion design majors (某专业的学生). "It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable,"
said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès
in Shanghai." There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own

and dress them up in a style you like. You need to cooperate with top photographers and select places around
the world to take photos in. You might also be invited to fashion shows of top brands and can select some of
the favorite clothes.
     "You have to be "all-round": from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories (配饰) to the event,"
said He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. "You have to know
everything, and handle several things at the same time. It"s challenging. That"s why I love it." 
     So, remember girls, you"ve been warned.

     Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were
all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon left their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them,
I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
     Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim (模糊的) memory of
the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts,
uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the
local birds, and above all, the insects.
     I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into
varied investigations (调查研究). I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading
about other people"s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations
together in my conscious (清醒的) mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all
seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with
the title of scientific research.
     But curiosity, keen (敏锐的) eyes, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make
a scientist: one of the excellent and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to
a certain point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
1. The first paragraph tells us the author _____.
[     ]
A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B. lost his hearing when he was a child
C. didn"t like his brothers and sisters
D. was born into a naturalist"s family
2. The author can"t remember his relatives clearly because _____.
[     ]
A. he didn"t live very long with them
B. the family was extremely large
C. he was too young when he lived with them
D. he was fully occupied with observing nature
3. The author can"t remember his relatives clearly because _____.
[     ]
A. he didn"t live very long with them
B. the family was extremely large
C. he was too young when he lived with them
D. he was fully occupied with observing nature
4. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _____.
[     ]
A. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C. just reads about other people"s observations and discoveries
D. comes up with solutions in a most natural way
