Young people today need to see leaders who truly act as role models. It’s no surprise that young people are losing their sense of social value in such a tough social situation. One million o f young people are now unemployed. Career services have been cut down and education maintenance allowance is long gone. Student tuition fees have trebled(三倍的)in a single year.
It is not enough for young people to believe in themselves. They need support. This is exactly the kind of help on offer to my fellow youth activists at UpRising, a new combination of organizations supporting youth t o take social action. “Society has given up on motivating young people. It has created a generational idea of what young people are like,” says Ifraah Samatar, who joined UpRising.
By the age of 12, she could just speak English fluently. While her mother relied on her young daughter to interpret for her. Samatar was quite exactly the voice of her mother. “It was a real burden. Sometimes I had to leave school and the teachers did not really understand or sympathize. I supported my mother but there was never really anybody to support me,” she recalls.
Samatar’ s story is not unusual; it resonates(引起共鸣) with the young people in her community in Tower Hsmlets. With 110 languages spoken in the area, families there often turn to their children to meet this need. Interpreting becomes a part of the chil dren’s daily routine.
While on the leadership program run by UpRising, Samatar, along with three other young people , set up Inter-Voice, which supports young interpreters and recognizes and celebrates
the work they do . UpRising was established five years ago by the Young Foundation , a think-tank based in east London.
Samatar is a real role model who can inspire lots of young people not only to change their own lives but also to have a great impact on the lives of those around them. We can find leadership on our doorsteps and within our young people—if only we are given a chance.
28. What can we learn about UpRising?
A. It does what the society has given up.
B. It makes young people know what they are like.
C. It helps young people truly act as role models.
D. It supports young people to take social action.
29. According to the passage, we can know that Samatar_____.
A. had to interpret for her mother every day
B. dropped out of school and joined UpRising
C. didn’t care when nobody understood her
D. couldn’t speak English until she was 12 years old
30. What do Samatar and other young people do in UpRising?
A. They set up Young Foundation.
B. They run a leadership program.
C. They help young interpreters.
D. They interpret for families t hat need it.
D
For anyone who has regular trouble with their teeth, science has some good news. Humans could one day grow beaks (鸟啄) ，a biologist has predicted . Unlike teeth, a beak would not rot, chip or fall out. This would make it “more solid and practical”, said Dr. Gareth Fraser.
The bad news for anyone worrying about a coming trip to the dentist is that the change in which the teeth would mix together to form a tough, pointy beak is several million years away.
Dr. Fraser, biologist at Sheffield University, is interested in why humans grow only two sets of teeth – baby teeth and adult ones --- while some creatures have an endless
supply. A shark, for instance, will grow new teeth around once a fortnight. And pufferfish constantly produce the tooth –like material that their beak is made from, meaning any wear and tear is rapidly mended.
Dr. Fraser says that he has identified the cells behind this constant regeneration (再生). The nicknamed “tooth fairy ” cells could hold the key to allowing us to grow set after set of teeth. This would allow us to grow extra teeth as needed. It may also be possible for us to grow teeth that are nicer than nature intended.
Dr F raser said: “I guess people will be looking at whether you can make perfect teeth” He added: “With our extended lives and modern diets, the limited supply of human teeth is really no longer fit for purpose. Our research is focused on looking for ways in which we can copy the way that fish create an endless supply of teeth and bring this ability to humans.”
But don’t stop taking care of your teeth because it will be around 50 years before we can grow extra teeth as needed. In the shorter term, in may be possible to create material that repairs rotten and damaged teeth, removing the need for fillings.
31. What did the biologist predict?
A. Humans could one day grow beaks.
B. Humans can grow perfect teeth again in the future.
C. Human teeth will never rot, chip or fall out in the future.
D. Human teeth will be more solid and practical in 50years.
32. What does the underlined expression “wear and tear” mean?
A. damage
B. tiredness
C. separation
D.
old-fashion
33. What is the function of “tooth fairy” ce lls?
A. They may help us keep away from the dentist.
B. They must allow us to grow set after set of teeth.
C. They may allow us to grow teeth that are nicer than nature intended.
D. They must allow us to grow extra teeth as needed.
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Human teeth are perfectly fit for the modern diets.
B. We needn’t take good care of our teeth 50 years later.
C. Humans may create an endless supply of teeth in the future.
D. Teeth can repair the rotten or damaged ones by themselves in the future.
35. The passage can be classified as___.
A. An advertisement
B. a diary
C. a report
D. a book review

Literature
Literature is one of the fine arts. It refers to beautiful writing. When we speak of a piece of writing as literature, we are praising it.
Literature has two main divisions: fiction and nonfiction. Fiction is writing that an author creates from the imagination. Authors may include facts about real persons or events, but they combine these facts with imaginary situations. Most fiction is narrative (叙事的) writing , such as novels and short stories. 36 The chief forms of nonfiction include the essay, history, biography, autobiography and diary.
We all read for a variety of reasons. These reasons change with our age, our interests and the literature we read. 37 We read literature mostly because we enjoy it . Many people read to find out new information. We can work out possible solutions to our problems when we read about people in books whose problems are like our own. Through literature, we sometimes understand situations we can not understand in real life.
38 The greatest poem ever written is only a printed sheet of paper until a reader reacts to it . Writing, to become literature, requires a reader. The reader helps to create literature by responding to the writer’s thoughts, feelings and beliefs. 39 Every reader is a critic. Even when we say we have no opinion of a book, w e are making a judgment. 40 Our ability to judge literature develops as our reading broadens(拓展).
A. A creative reader considers both what the writer wants to say and how it is said.
B. Creative reading always leads to the deepest enjoyment of literature.
C. Literature in the broadest sense is everything that has been written.
D. But such a judgment is a poor one, based on little thought.
E. Nonfiction is factual writing about real-life situations.
F. No work of literature has wisdom or beauty in itself.
G. Our basic reason for reading is probably pleasure.

This morning when I was walking in the new park close to that I live, an old gardener asked me whether I have any clothes to give him. He was wearing a worn-out T-shirt, looking disappointing. It was obviously that although there were so many people walk in the park, none ever would like to talk to him. Therefore, I ran to my home and brought him some T-shirt. With delighted smile on his face, he told me how thankful he was to the T-shirts. And he also said he would never forget that what I had done for him.

W： John, do you realize that the Spring Festival is only a month away? Before going to my hometown for our holiday, we have to think of our gifts for my family.
M： Yes, and we have a lot of relatives to think about.
W： Shall we decide what to send them all now？
M：All right. Let’s make a list of names and then decide what to give them all.
W： The children first, I think. What about Alice？
M： She is too grown-up for toys. We can give her a book to help her study.
W： Yes. Well, now what about Dela? He thinks of nothing but space travel nowadays.
M：Oh, that makes it easy. Let’s give him one of those space travel suits that the toy shop has? You know what I mean:there is a big round plastic thing that goes over the head.
W： That sounds like an excellent idea. He will be quite excited.
M： What about your father and mother？
W： Since retiring from work, father has fed birds at home. Oh,a bird cage will content him. Mother is fund of music. How about some CDs？
M： Oh, that all sounds great.
