Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents. At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and 1 out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them. Most teens work through this 2 by the age of 16 or 17.
Often teenagers are treated like 3 bigger children, but they will never bee 4 and responsible if they are not allowed to make some
decisions for themselves. If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it 5 without permission anyway. The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and
6 .
Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and 7 .As a result, teenagers always keep their 8 from their parents. Teens often 9 that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them. Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to 10 their side of any problem and express their point of view.
Thus, more private and level-headed munication is needed for the parents. Every parent should try to schedule time to be 11 with their child, like taking a short trip together. This time allows parents to talk and listen without 12 from work or other family members. It might also be good to encourage teens to 13 important issues at dinner. Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives.
A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own
14 ,like distinguishing good from evil. Handling and improving munication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be 15 for parents and teens alike.

Umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life. When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it; only when it's raining, we’ll carry it purposefully. But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we’ll forget 16 we’ve put it. It has to wait patiently and pitifully for 17 owner to claim it, otherwise it’ll remain alone as a deserted umbrella.
Once I suddenly found my longtime 18 (use) umbrella “disappeared”.
I really got lost and regretted quite some time 19 my own carelessness. Several days later, out of my 20 (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar 21 me, I found for the first time its wooden handle 22 （wear）out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid 23 (much) attention to it.
It sets me thinking. Around us there are always people giving us support
i n s i l e n c e j u s t l i k e
24 umbrella that protects us from the rain or any wretched weather. Will gou think of those individuals 25 have helped you get through difficlty when you are leading a fortable life?

阅读下面几篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
I am a single working mother and going to college for a better life for my three-year-old child and myself. I am taking a nurse course called “Urban munity（社区）”. We were asked to do a major project on problems in urban munities. I chose the topic “Homeless”.
Each day I would walk down the streets of the homeless and offer them
something to drink and to eat. I know it’s tough to survive on the streets. Last night I ran into a group of 30 kids who were living on the streets in New York. My heart went out to them and I just wanted to cry. But I had to be strong.
I asked about their families and if they contacted them to let them know they were alive. Most of them said, “NO!” They all looked like a happy family and they took care of one another. I tried to persuade them to get help and to contact their families but they did not want to. I did not want to make them to do it as they had their own reasons.
All these kids were very respectful. None of them was high on drugs nor were they drinking. Some of them enjoyed reading and writing. Some of them enjoyed skateboarding, dancing and playing music.
One girl asked me if I could give her a hug and I did so. She started to cry and said, “Thank you for not treating us as freaks（怪人）like everyone else does. People don’t realize that we all have our own problems and some are worse than others.” She told me that her stepfather （继父） was extremely mean to her and her mother did not believe her. She ran away. Her street name was Little Mary.
They were good kids just trying to make ends meet. I told them that I didn’t have much to offer because I was a single mother just making ends meet. I had offered them sandwiches and drinks. They were so happy to have something to eat and told me that I couldn’t change th e world but at least there was someone who really cared.

I was going to Paris, which I’d always wanted to see. But now I was frightened to travel alone. I arrived at the train station in Paris. I hadn’t spoken my colle ge French for twenty years. On my first metro ride,
I came across an inpetent（不胜任的）thief. I just stared at him, and he stopped his hand from my purse and disappeared into the crowd. Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren’t easy to find. When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily, and I was sweating like a basketball player. I couldn’t stay. Could I? The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire. The bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building. Wele to Paris. I sincerely wanted to die. I missed my friends.
I was entering my third week away from home and my kids, and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and frightened. The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment. I knew that if I didn’t go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this small room my entire time in Paris. I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual. So I went out. Evening in Paris was light and pleasant. I walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain. No one seemed to be in a hurry. Paris was beautiful. And I was here alone and suddenly not lonely. My sense of acplishment overing my fear and weakness had left me feeling free. I wore out two pairs of shoes during my week’s stay in Paris. I did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation. I returned home, being a believer in the power of traveling alone. Now when I meet difficulties I just say to myself, “If I can go to Paris,
I can go anywhere.”

When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams e true.
This did not apply to F. Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land. Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose. He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion. It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous.
Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot. He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies. The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wante d to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it. He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script（剧本）to screen too much. His plot was too detailed and plicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental（感伤的）.
Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall. In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald. At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited. As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public. He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up. His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally. He seemed unsure about his life.
Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan. However, these were
all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”. Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life. He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”. His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer.
36. Which is a reason that Fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?
A. He was not talented in screenwriting.
B. He had a miserable family life.
C. He spent too much time watching movies.
D. He was greedy for money in his life.
37. Fitzgerald’s screenwriting was _____.
A. disappointing in ending
B. plex in plot
C. playful in tone
D. simple in dialogue
38. Which of the following was NOT written by Fitzgerald?
A. The Great Gatsby
B. Babylon Revisited
C. The Light of Heart
D. Cosmopolitan
39. When Fitzgerald had another chance at success, he ______.
A. took full advantage of it
B. went back home to start business
C. refused to make changes
D. started to write songs and poems
40. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Fallen for Fame Addiction: F. Scott Fitzgerald
B. An Inch into Fame: F. Scott Fitzgerald
C. F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Novelist
D. F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Screenwriter
D
I am a vegetarian（素食主义者）. Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior. I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it. But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.
Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives. There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases. From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet. While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed. The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily. Creativity is almost as important as mitment. It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad. But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can bee vegetarian-friendly.
Not everyone wants to be vegetarian. Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style. Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful. Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.
Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others. A mon mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the
change. It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation. However, it fades over time. Another mon mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian. That’s why it is vital to be educated. Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein（蛋白质）your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect. People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet. Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial. It leads to diseases. Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs. However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.
41. According to the passage, being a vegetarian helps ______.
A. protect the wildlife
B. free people from diseases
C. rid people from strange behaviors
D. develop a better economy
42. What’s the underlined word temptation in Paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?
A. Unpleasant taste
B. Extreme attraction
C. Great consumption
D. Significant importance
43. Stylish vegetarians do not ______.
A. force others to be vegetarians
B. respect other people’s beliefs
C. turn down hosts gracefully
D. refuse an offer of meat
44. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition.
B. Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition.
C. Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful.
D. Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy.
45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Reasons why the author became a vegetarian.
B. Important qualities required to be a vegetarian.
C. Advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian.
D. mon mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian.

Time to give thanks
When it es to Thanksgiving, turkey may be the first thing that es to mind. It’s the right picture, but it’s not plete.
Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, Thanksgiving Day is a time for thanksgiving and feasts. It’s about expressing your
gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life.
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much warmth and keep many traditional customs. Here we introduce two of the rules Americans typically follow on this day.
1. Time for prayers and paying back
Thanksgiving Day has been associated with prayers in church and in homes for centuries. Attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day. The churches provide worship (礼拜) services and organize special events for the occasion.
Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon (给予) them in the form of friends and family.
Some people also do voluntary munity work on this day, as a way of paying back.
2. Family reunions and showing gratitude
Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving. Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away.

In order to carry forward the traditional culture, create an active and
positive campus culture atmosphere, we will hold the “Reading classics, Love our school” recital contest. The theme of the contest is to sing of the motherland, home town and to show love for our campus and life in the form of poetry or prose which will be much preferred. As for the forms, they can be varied, that is, reciters can recite alone, in pairs or in groups, but anyway each program should be limited to no more than 5 minutes. It is required that 6 students from each class attend the contest and the reciters should use Putonghua. The recital contest will be held in the school gym from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on March 10(on Tuesday), and be sure to arrive on time.
Student Union 第二节：One possible version:
This passage is mainly about the customs of a western traditional festival, Thanksgiving Day, which mainly includes the two rules that Americans usually abide by during the festival.
After reading the passage, I had a better understanding of Thanksgiving Day. In my opinion, since the festival has a lovely and healthy theme, why not do as the Americans do? Don’t you think giving thanks to things and
people around us is very n ecessary? We can’t deny it is a good chance to spread kindness and consideration.
Take myself for example. Because I am busy in studying on weekdays, I have little time to look after my parents, which makes me guilty. In order to reward them and make them relaxed on the weekend, I get up early in the morning and prepare breakfast for them willingly, which makes them delighted.
So it is vital for us to have a grateful heart and show our thanks to anything good and any person that is nice.
