第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）( A )
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 (伸开) himself 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?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
21.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
22. 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
23. What is the author’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 a fault for the change in their children.
( B )
How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments---mostly for entertainment purposes---is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural zones.
Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range ( 分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and li ttle opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis（动物精神病）. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22
percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding ( 圈养繁殖 ) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
24.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoo?
A. Dangerous.
B. Unhappy.
C. Natural.
D. Easy.
25. In the state of zoochosis, animals ______.
A. remain in cages
B. behave strangely
C. attack other animals
D. enjoy moving around
26. What does the author try to argue in the passage?
A. Zoos are not worth the public support.
B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.
D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.
27. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by ______.
A. pointing out the faults in what zoos do
B. using evidence he has collected at zoos
C. questioning the way animals are protected
D. discussing the advantages of natural habitats
( C )
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity （繁荣）. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which valves only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are young men who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（溶解，消失）can we discover a new meaning in competition.
28. What does this passage mainly talk about?
petition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
petition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
29.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward.
B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities.
D. It encourages individual efforts.
30. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
第二节：七选五
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 31 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 32
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct ( 本能 ) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 33 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
34 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 35 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended ( 冒犯).
A. It’s natural that there ar e some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to
the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

For many 36 in the US, earning some money gives them a sense of 37 . By making their own money they can buy whatever they want. It also develops a sense of responsibility and independence.
Most teens I know have a small sum of money. Their 38 give them an allowance（零
花钱）. For some, an allowance is given every week; for 39 , every month or so. Usually they can get 10 to 30 dollars a month from their parents. An allowance is typically ba sed on the 40 of chores, such as washing the dishes, cleaning up one’s room, taking out the trash, and 41 the floor. 42 to younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）is also regarded as worthy of extra cash, 43 some cases.
Many teens also work to get 44 . Since most of my peers are not 45 for a formal job, many choose part-time positions. These require relatively 46 time and basically no training. They can have these jobs like babysitting; 47 younger students, offered by most schools 48 a small fee; 49 bagging groceries at local supermarkets.
50 spending habits, most teens spend their money in a relatively carefree(无忧的) style. Often, a month’s allowance can be spent in just a few hours. I’m not saying that teens in US are 51 saving money. Indeed, in many situations, teens can be quite level-headed （冷静的） in 52 money towards college or other 53 plans. The way teens manage their money should not be seen as a 54 . It may just be a defining characteristic（特色）of their carefree 55 .

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

1 （Make） new friends means putting yourself out on a limb （孤立无援）and asking others not only to accept you, but to like you and want to be around you as well.
2 (unfortunate), there is no magical solution to this part of the process, so if you want
to make friends, take a deep breath and jump right in!
3 first step to making new friends is figuring out what is holding you back. A lot
of times people 4 are interested in making new friends don’t know why they don’t have
them already. They can’t see that 5 （they）own actions are working against them.
Once you can identify what is keeping you from making new friends, you need to work through these concerns. This can be painful because you will need to put yourself outside
of your comfort zones to see any real 6 （difference）.
The next step is to shine in these social settings so that others will leave with a positive 7 (impress). If you find social situations hard,
just rely ___8___ a few simple rules.

Looking forward to your reply.
