A survey about the relationship between students and teachers，family members
or classmates is being made by a research study group of our
school.___________________
参考答案：
A survey about the relationship between students and teachers，family members or classmates is being made by a research study group of our school. Generally speaking，we are getting on well with each other. However，there exist some problems. Some students are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden. Sometimes they are too self-centered. What’s worse，they sometimes quarrel with others，and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers and speak against their parents and teachers，which is very disappointing.
In my opinion，we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation. First，we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates. Second，when we are not feeling happy，we can have a heart-to-heart chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice.

21. Syrian immigrants have been making their home in Allentown, Pa., for more than a century. They began settling there in the late 1800s, first to work as peddlers（小贩）and later to work in factories.
Today the town is home to one of the largest Syrian populations in the U.S. It’s also a destination for newer arrivals—refugees fleeing the ongoing crisis in Syria. But Allentown residents don’t agree on whether the town should welcome more of t hem.
The first stop for many Syrians arriving in Allentown is a neighborhood of flat-fronted row homes called the 6th Ward, which is home to Syrian restaurants and grocery stores.
That’s where Radwan Jarrouj landed in 1962. He’s active in local Syrian grou ps, and he tried to persuade Allentown to accept the refugees. However, he says he remembers Sept.11 and empathizes with politicians who have grown anxious over welcoming more refugees.
“Proceed with caution,” Jarrouj suggests.
Most of the old Syrian families in Allentown are from the Christian minority and support
Syrian President Bashar Assad, while some of the people arriving now have fled the violence under his power.
An Emphasis On Screening
The checking process for refugees takes an average of two years and involves investigating applicants’ stories and cross-checking whether any physical evidence ties them to terrorist groups.
But after the Paris attacks, some local politicians, including Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, say it needs to get even tougher. Todd Long, another Pennsylvanian, says he doesn’t know much about the background checks, but he doesn’t see any upside to accepting Syrian refugees. “If we were to find out tomorrow that 1,000 people are coming into the Lehigh Valley next week, people are going to think, ‘Well, what if one them was an ISIS terrorist who got through the cracks?’” he says.
Since 2012, Allentown has resettled 138 Syrian refugees. And while there has been a national push to slow the pace of arrivals, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, and Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf both say they trust the checking process and will welcome more refugees.
56. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The reason why Syrians immigrate to Allentown.
B. Different opinions about whether the town should welcome more Syrian refugees.
C. The history of Syrians immigrating to Allentown.
D. The fact that Syrian refugees are not welcomed in Allentown.
57. The best suitable subtitle for the blank in this passage might be .
A. The first stop for Syrians
B. Proceed With Caution
C. Welcome more Syrians refugees
D. Syrian families in Allentown
58. What does the underlined word “empathize with” most probably mean?
A. to agree with another person
B. to support another person’s action
C. to oppose another person’s opinion
D. to understand another person’s feelings
59. Which of the following opinion is from Todd Long?
A. Any Syrian refugee might be an ISIS terrorist.
B. 1,000 Syrian refugees are coming into the Lehigh Valley next week.
C. It’s difficult f or more Syrian refugees to get into Allentown.
D. He is willing to accept Syrian refugees.参考答案：
