AThe practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers.Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. The magician's combined words and actions form a ceremony.Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an object—for example, a carving or a dried snake—honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols. ks5uThe magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magic ians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.Many societies believe magic ians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.36．What do magic words mean to people in some society?A．They have the power to kill devils.B．They have power if magician recites the right spells.C．They have no effect at all.D．They can be used whenever they want.37．People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by________.A．the spellsB．magic objectsC．stones or rings engraved with magic symbolsD．medicine38．Why do many people believe in a fetish?A．Because it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money.B．Because it is carved with magic symbols.C．Because people think spirits live in it.D．Because it can help them with many things.39．According to the passage what kind of person can become a magician?A．Only those studying the magical arts.B．Only those inheriting their powers.C．Only men.D．Almost all the people in some societies.BEvery culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school，” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She broughtthe pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. “It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car，” she said.According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of V irginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky，”he said, “But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I_don't_really_trust_my_friends_on_the_road,_either.”In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?40．Which may serve as the best title of the article?A．Cars Helping Y ou to Grow-UpB．Driving into the Grown-Up WorldC．Teenagers' Driving in AmericaD．Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult41．16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because________.A．they want to show themselves offB．they are never experienced driversC．older people always drive betterD．they never drive carefully on the road42．Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?A．How well off the family is.B．Whether the kid is old enough.C．What traffic condition there is around.D．Whether it's practically needed.43．When Chad said “I don't really trust my friends…”，he meant that________.A．he might run into his friends if he droveB．he didn't agree with his friendsC．he might not be safe if his friends droveD．he was afraid that his friends might well lie to himCI'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we_can't_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs andcomputers. Y our family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Y ale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.44．According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________.A．probably suffered less from anxietyB．were considered less individualisticC．were less isolated physicallyD．were probably less self-centered45．What does the author mean by saying “we can't turn the clock back”in the third paragraph?A．It's impossible to forget the past.B．The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.C．It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.D．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.46．The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________.A．illogical B．confusingC．surprising D．questionableDJapanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.◆ At schoolThe school day begins at 8：30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40—45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunch-time, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.◆After-school ActivitiesClub activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.47．Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch________.A．in restaurants B．in school cafeteriasC．at home D．in homeroom classrooms48．Students in the USA go to school________days a year.A．180 B．200 C．240 D．30049．The underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph means “________”．A．always B．neverC．seldom D．often50.From the passage we know that________.A．there are less than 40 students in each class in Japanese high schoolsB．students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical educationC．there are few subjects for students to choose except the required onesD．there will not be any club activities during school vacations第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
