    Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son, suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.?
    Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the soft and talk,” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”?
    Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds.“In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers?.“This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”?
    Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young.?Another? thing parents should remember is that to be friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
    小题1:“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son_______.?
    A．is always busy with his studies
    B．doesn't want to be disturbed?
    C．keeps himself away from his parents
    D．begins to dislike his parents?
    小题2:What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.
    A．their daughter isn't as lovely as before?
    B．they can't read their daughter's mind exactly?
    C．they don't know what to say to their daughter?
    D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help?
    小题3:Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
    A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.?
    B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.?
    C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.?
    D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives.?
    小题4:What can be learned from the passage?
    A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.?
    B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.?
    C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.?
    D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

    A small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
    Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1500,agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday.They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
    Last month,San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags.Internationally,laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland,where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out.Bangladesh already bans them,and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
    Modbury,about 225 miles southwest of London,has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期),allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home.They will be sent for traveling.
    The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking,who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman.She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.
    “Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,”Hosking told Sky News Television.
    The Worldwatch Institute,an environmental research agency,states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone.More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
    小题1:What was Rebecca Hosking?
    A．A lawyer.B．An environmentalist.
    C．A sailor.D．A photographer.
    小题2:The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means _______.
    A．acceptableB．valuable
    C．throw-awayD．long-lasting
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
    A．most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags
    B．fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world
    C．San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
    D．most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
    A．Environmental Protection
    B．Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
    C．Effect of Plastic Bags on Sea Animals
    D．British Town Banning Plastic Bags

    　　Sociologists（社会学家）, working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60％ in Germany.
    　　"Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men's world. " said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.
    　　Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.
    　　Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.
    　　Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "Women's Liberation", "I don't wish I were a man," she says, "and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men—usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?"
    小题1:Many men think ______.
    A．women can't do what men can
    B．men have to work much harder than women
    C．men can make money more easily than women
    D．women's duty is mainly to do housework at home
    　小题2:Some women have different ideas. They say that ______.
    A．women need chances to go out of the home more often
    B．women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want
    C．if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men
    D．women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes
    　　　小题3:Anne Harper thought that ______.
    A．women should live a better life than men
    B．women should be really liberated
    C．women should be given better jobs than men
    D．women should live a more wonderful life than men

    Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
    　　The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根）,and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
    　小题1:The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
    A．life on land probably began 430 years ago
    B．the first animal on land came from oceans
    C．there wouldn't be animals without plants
    D．plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy
    　小题2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．Algae has existed for more than 430 million years.
    B．It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.
    C．Plants get food from animals in the oceans.
    D．Evolution began after animals appeared on land.
    　小题3:Plants with roots appeared about ________ million years ago.
    A．430B．300C．330D．100
    　小题4:According to the passage, ________ appeared earlier than ________.
    A．apples; orangesB．oranges; apples
    C．oranges; rosesD．algae; wheat

    Some kids can't sit still for long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. They're easily distracted(分神).They can get very impatient. They hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity. They get bored pretty fast. They may also be impulsive—saying the first thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else who's talking.?
    For certain kids, this problem is so severe(严重) that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Perhaps as many as 1 out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 have characteristics of ADHD. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and face other difficulties later in life.?
    Rizzo started developing the Virtual Classroom in 1999.He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders.?
    To diagnose(诊断) ADHD, doctors typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashed on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”,you have to press the space bar. If you're paying close attention, you'll register all the times this combination occurs. If not, you'll miss some.?
    The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctor's office, though, the kids wore headsets that made it look like they were taking the test in a classroom.?
    “Basically what we found,”Rizzo says,“is that, in 20 minutes of testing with virtual reality,?we? replicated(复制) a finding that usually requires a couple hours of standard testing with computer screens in the psychologist's office.”?
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us _______.?
    A．how to find a patient with ADHD?
    B．the behavior of some kids with ADHD?
    C．kids with ADHD cannot sit still for a long time?
    D．kids with ADHD are easily distracted
    小题2: Perhaps as many as _______ kids have characteristics of ADHD. ?
    A. one out of every twenty kids
    B. five percent kids less than 18 years old?
    C. one out of twenty kids at the age of 18
    D. five percent kids more than age of 18
    小题3: In the experiment, patients need to press the space bar, when _______.
    A．see letters A following XB．first see A then see B?
    C．see letter X and AD．see letters A followed by X
    小题4:The main idea of the last paragraph is _______.
    A．in virtual classroom, we finish the test in 20 minutes?
    B．the standard test with computer screen usually costs several hours?
    C．the experiment is easy to do?
    D．the result of the experiment

    The South Pole is a particular place on the earth.When people stand at the top of it looking around,they will find all directions face to north.No matter how they make their first step in which direction,they will always walk towards the north.That’s to say,only north and south exist there,neither east nor west exists.
    At the top of the South Pole,any clock or watch keeps good time because all meridians（子午线） join there.All kinds of local time are completely suitable there.It is even difficult to distinguish（区别） New Year’s Eve from New Year’s Day.
    The explorers and scientists from different countries always fix the time according to their own.Therefore the time by their watches was different when the people with different nationality gathered there.
    The Winter Solstice（冬至日） is an important festival at the South Pole.It is always on June 21 or 22.This day is called Midwinter Festival,on which the daytime is the shortest in a year and the night the longest.All people at the South Pole extend greetings to each other and present gifts to each other.They usually give all kinds of celebrations.From that day on,the daytime will get longer day by day.

    Why the inductive and mathematical sciences, after their first rapid development at the culmination of Greek civilization, advanced so slowly for two thousand years—and why in the following two hundred years a knowledge of natural and mathematical science has accumulated, which so vastly exceeds all that was previously known that these sciences may be justly regarded as the products of our own times—are questions which have interested the modern philosopher not less than the objects with which these sciences are more immediately conversant. Was it the employment of a new method of research, or in the exercise of greater virtue in the use of the old methods, that this singular modern phenomenon had its origin? Was the long period one of arrested development, and is the modern era one of normal growth? Or should we ascribe the characteristics of both periods to so-called historical accidents—to the influence of conjunctions in circumstances of which no explanation is possible, save in the omnipotence and wisdom of a guiding Providence?
    The explanation which has become commonplace, that the ancients employed deduction chiefly in their scientific inquiries, while the moderns employ induction, proves to be too narrow, and fails upon close examination to point with sufficient distinctness the contrast that is evident between ancient and modern scientific doctrines and inquiries. For all knowledge is founded on observation, and proceeds from this by analysis, by synthesis and analysis, by induction and deduction, and if possible by verification, or by new appeals to observation under the guidance of deduction—by steps which are indeed correlative parts of one method; and the ancient sciences afford examples of every one of these methods, or parts of one method, which have been generalized from the examples of science.
    A failure to employ or to employ adequately any one of these partial methods, an imperfection in the arts and resources of observation and experiment, carelessness in observation, neglect of relevant facts, by appeal to experiment and observation—these are the faults which cause all failures to ascertain truth, whether among the ancients or the moderns; but this statement does not explain why the modern is possessed of a greater virtue, and by what means he attained his superiority. Much less does it explain the sudden growth of science in recent times.
    The attempt to discover the explanation of this phenomenon in the antithesis of “facts” and “theories” or “facts” and “ideas”—in the neglect among the ancients of the former, and their too exclusive attention to the latter—proves also to be too narrow, as well as open to the charge of vagueness. For in the first place, the antithesis is not complete. Facts and theories are not coordinate species. Theories, if true, are facts—a particular class of facts indeed, generally complex, and if a logical connection subsists between their constituents, have all the positive attributes of theories.
    Nevertheless, this distinction, however inadequate it may be to explain the source of true method in science, is well founded, and connotes an important character in true method. A fact is a proposition of simple. A theory, on the other hand, if true has all the characteristics of a fact, except that its verification is possible only by indirect, remote, and difficult means. To convert theories into facts is to add simple verification, and the theory thus acquires the full characteristics of a fact.
    小题1:     The title that best expresses the ideas of this passage is
    [A]. Philosophy of mathematics.              [B]. The Recent Growth in Science.
    [C]. The Verification of Facts.                [C]. Methods of Scientific Inquiry.
    小题2:According to the author, one possible reason for the growth of science during the days of the ancient Greeks and in modern times is
    [A]. the similarity between the two periods.
    [B]. that it was an act of God.
    [C]. that both tried to develop the inductive method.
    [D]. due to the decline of the deductive method.
    小题3:     The difference between “fact” and “theory”
    [A]. is that the latter needs confirmation.
    [B]. rests on the simplicity of the former.
    [C]. is the difference between the modern scientists and the ancient Greeks.
    [D]. helps us to understand the deductive method.
    小题4:     According to the author, mathematics is
    [A]. an inductive science.           [B]. in need of simple verification.
    [C]. a deductive science.            [D]. based on fact and theory.
    小题5:     The statement “Theories are facts” may be called.
    [A]. a metaphor.                  [B]. a paradox.
    [C]. an appraisal of the inductive and deductive methods.
    [D]. a pun.

      A new eight-kilometer road is under construction that links the port area with motorway system. It is expected to carry 20,000 trucks and cars a day, which greatly reduces the overcrowded traffic in the center of the city. As part of the project, two four-kilometer road tunnels are being built below the central area of the city, one for traffic to the north and the other for the traffic to the south. The two tunnels are about 20 meters below the surface and are 12 meters wide, providing for two lanes of traffic in each direction. 

    In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel. The lighting is at the top of the tunnel, practically at its highest point. There will also be electric signs at frequent intervals. They show traffic conditions ahead and can be seen clearly by drivers. The wall is made up of four main elements, which include a waterproofing covering and, on the inside of the tunnel, a concrete lining.
    Each tunnel is roughly round and the lower part of the tunnel is somewhat flat. The surface of the road lies on the base, which is made of concrete and steel. The drainage system, just below the road surface on one side, removes any extra liquid, particularly water. In the event of fire, the fire main, which is made of steel, pipes water to many fire hydrant stations at regular intervals along the length of the tunnel. The fire main is at the side of the tunnel and at the level of the road surface. Other systems in the tunnel will include emergency phones.
    小题1:Each of the tunnels under construction is _____.
    A．eight kilometers long and twenty meters wide
    B．eight kilometers long and six meters wide
    C．four kilometers long and twenty meters wide
    D．four kilometers long and six meters wide
    小题2:Which part of the tunnel in the diagram is used to pipe out extra water?
    A. 1           B. 3            C. 5               D  6 
    小题3:Driving in the tunnel, one can know the traffic conditions ahead through______.
    A．the lightsB．the electric signs
    C．the trucks and the carsD． the emergency phones
    小题4:The passage is mainly about _____.
    A．the construction of a roadB．the design of a road
    C．the construction of two tunnelsD．the design of two tunnels
