Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million people. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the centre of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city’s landscape is decided by volcanic hills, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sail s” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanic hills, many of which currently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s geography is such that shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water lover s’ best place, with some
of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political centre of the country. Two aspects of the city
that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear-hug embrace. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else
in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being
the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of
historic streets and buildings.
Wellington is host to an excellent Festival of the Arts every two years.
19. Auckland is the best city in New Zealand for people to .
A. study New Zealand’s culture
B. appreciate green hills and harbors
C. visit historic streets and buildings
D. do water sports like swimming, diving
20. According to this passage, Wellington is as Auckland in area.
A. not so small
B. not so big
C. as big
D. as small
21. What can we learn from the passage?

most boats worldwide. C. Wellington has lots of cultural treasures
and impressive cityscape.
D. Wellington is the capital city and the most prosperous city in New Zealand.
22. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Auckland and Wellington
B. Welcome to New Zealand
C. The Capital of New Zealand
D. The Landscape of New Zealand

Drunken driving —sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder —has become a national epidemic (流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitude s” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to
drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national ban of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but
encouraged political corruption ( 腐败) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade
generally, there is no easy solution.
23. In America, the number of people killed by drunken drivers on average is
.
A. 3 per minute
B. 250,000 per year
C. 72 each day
D. less than 500 each week
24. The underlined word “ lenie nt” in the second paragraph means _.
A. merciful
B. determined
C. serious
D. cruel
25. What can be learned from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A. Young drivers are easily drunk.
B. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
C. The legal drinking age should not be raised.
D. Young people should be educated about drinking.
26. Which of the following statements best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?
A. It is difficult to solve
this problem. B. It may lead to
organized crime.
C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking
D. There should be no bars to serve drinks.
D
Does your teen spend all of his or her free time playing video games,
talking on the phone or hanging out with friends that don’t really meet with
your approval? Is your son or daughter always asking you for money? Perhaps
it’s time to tell your teen to get a job. You might disagree by saying “But
he’s still in school and if he gets a job his schoolwork might suffer.”
Does he have a cell phone or want one? Are you going to buy one? Are you
going to pay the monthly phone bill? If you are, that’s your choice but it
might not be the best way to teach your teen responsibility. Helping kids out on
the path to adulthood is teaching them to be independent, but buying them
whatever they want and paying the bills for them is the first step in creating
a dependent adult. This process is often referred to as enabling. You might ask,
“Enabling them to
do what?” The answer is enabling them to depend on others throughout their lives rather than
themselves. Teaching them to be self-supporting is the best alternative.
Parents may argue that it is their responsibility to support their
children and it is true that as parents it is our responsibility to suit the
needs of our children until they reach legal age, but part of responsible
parenting is preparing our children to be responsible and self-supporting as
they move into adulthood. When teens get their own jobs it gives them a sense
of achievement. It also helps keep them out of trouble since they have less
time to be tempted by peer pressure. They are making their own money, which
allows them to make purchases such as cell phones and pay the bill on their own
rather than depending on their parents. Allowing them to pay their own bills
also gives them a chance to get to know the world of adulthood.
All too often, teens view adulthood from the view of being old enough to
drive and drink
but they overlook such aspects of adulthood as working, paying bills, saving
money and managing expenses responsibly. When your teen gets a job you should
encourage him or her to open a bank account with the first paycheck. It may be
best to suggest a savings account at first since balancing a checkbook may lead
to problems for those who are not conservative spenders. Encourage your teen to
spend money wisely. Believe it or not, it really changes them greatly when
they’r e
spending their own money rather than yours.
27. The purpose of the first paragraph is .
A. to point out a serious phenomenon
B. to complain about careless parents
C. to raise the topic by asking questions
D. to tell what kids are doing nowadays
28. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “it” refers to .
A. paying your teen’s phone bill
B. meeting the needs of your teen
C. buying a cell phone for your teen
D. teaching your teen to be independent
29. The writer wants to
through this passage.
A. persuade teens to spend money wisely
B. encourage parents to be more responsible
C. suggest teens being independent early
D. advise parents to help teens be independent
30. Which of the following statements is True according to
the passage?
A. It’s parent s’ responsibility to support their children until they have grown up.
B. Teens can benefit from their own jobs but they may be tempted by
the jobs, too. C. Jobs help teens know more about adulthood from a
different perspective.
D. Teen s’ problems will be perfectly solved if they get their jobs on their own.

Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful
Are you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful. 1.
31

34 Be ready to improve and change your deeds and decisions when
things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.
4. Do not care about what other people think
of you.

“success” is for you. B. Do not wait for
the “right time” to do anything.
C. Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can’t be predicted.

completely avoid waste in our lives.
