【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
On Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada. Being from the UK, I had no idea what this would need, but he promised me it was a fun Catalan (卡塔兰) tradition, and so I agreed to go. I wasn't disappointed!
First, we took a train out to a Small town near Tarragona, about an hour away from Barcelona centre. I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns, all sitting on the coastline.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle. While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana, at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing! It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.
Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers, we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was. We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks (大葱) was placed in front of us. It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers, dip them in a (delicious!) sauce and eat them. This sounds easier than it was.
My friend had been right in the end, it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home. It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture, although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!
(1)What made the author accept his friend's invitation?
A.To experience a different tradition.
B.To get a further knowledge of his friend.
C.To free himself from the pressure of studies.
D.To make a record of Catalan traditions.
(2)How did they go to a small town near Tarragona?
A.By taxi.
B.By train.
C.By water.
D.By bike.
(3)What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.The author was tired of eating leeks.
B.They participated in the local dancers.
C.The author doesn't think the Catalan culture is perfect.
D.The author had a thorough research on Italian traditions.
(4)What is the best title for the passage?
A.Traveling with a Friend Abroad
B.A Special Dish Astonished Me
C.A Day's Journey Changed Me
D.Taking Part in Traditions

【题目】During adolescence, 1很多青少年感到孤独. Life never seems to be going fast enough, but in other ways, life seems to be rushing too fast. Everything seems different, yet the same, day by day.

Although it may be difficult to believe, these feelings are common for teenagers. These can be thought of as ‘growing pains’—2青少年面临的那些困难as they grow to adults.

3Teenagers can easily become confused with the changing world inside and outside. They also go through great physical changes, such as growing taller and their voices getting deeper. 4Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes, too. But girls and boys tend to be different in this regard.

When it comes to society, teenagers struggle to be independent.5They may badly want and need their parents' love, yet feel distant; they may want to be in a group, yet desire independence.

Fortunately, these growing pains do not last long. Everything will turn out right at last.
