7.AS the 2016Presidential election (选举) is approaching,US high school students have become more interested in the election.They hope to have a voice in the process and,ultimately (最终),have a say in deciding the next US president.
Cypress Bay High junior Jacob Wilentz is one such student and he said the country needs change.Although Wilentz will only be 17this November,he said his opinion still counts.
"Even though I will not be old enough to vote in the next presidential election,my voice matters,as do the voices of every other individual in this country,"Wilentz said."Discussions I may have with my peers,debates with teachers and communication with my parents allow me to be heard and give my opinions meaning and insight (洞察力)."
Alain Jean,who was the 2008African American/Caribbean American vote director for Barack Obama in the state of Florida,said teenagers should be paying attention to the presidential election because many high school students will be of voting age by election time.She said candidates (候选人) have views and positions on certain topics that may affect teens'lives.
Cypress Bay High junior Olivia Ohayon is concerned about issues that younger Americans face,such as the cost of college education.
Ohayon said,"I believe it is my responsibility to discuss,and try to persuade my parents and other adults to concern themselves with,the issues important to the younger generation when casting their vote for president."
Not only do teenagers think their voices are important,but some also think parents have to consider the views of their children when casting their vote.According to Lucy Rimalower,a licensed marriage and family therapist (治疗专家),parents must consider whether their vote represents their household and the teens living in it.
Jean said teenagers can also influence the election in other ways by getting involved in campaigns.She suggests that teenagers who actually believe in one of the candidates find the local headquarters (总部) for a campaign and volunteer.Campaign volunteers stuff envelopes,wave signs and go into neighborhoods to drop off literature (宣传材料) and try to get the word out.

51.Which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.Most US high school students have the right to vote in the presidential election.
B.Teenagers can influence the election by expressing their opinions.
C.Wilentz is interested in the election because he enjoys debates and discussions.
D.Students below voting age are not allowed to participate in election campaigns.
52.According to Alain Jean,B.
A.teenagers are too young to take part in the election
B.the candidates'views could influence students'lives
C.candidates should pay more attention to teenagers'opinions
D.students should be prepared for voting from an early age
53.According to Rimalower,parents should consider the views of their children during the election becauseC.
A.they should respect their children's right to vote
B.the election process could help their children develop debating and thinking skills
C.their votes should represent not only themselves but also other family members
D.they could reduce the cost of education for their children
54.What can we infer from the article?B
A.Parents do not like their children to participate in elections.
B.Many people encourage teenagers'involvement in the election process.
C.Candidates who care more about the younger generation's issues are more likely to win.
D.Students who are interested in elections only care about themselves.

19.Recently some articles state that the word‘‘selfie"has become one of the most annoying words.But I'd like to offer that maybe it is not so bad.The"selfie"is used to describe the self-taken photo,often from a smartphone.Women and men decorate their Facebook,Twitter,and Instagram accounts with these pictures,sometimes with puckered (翘起) lips or large smiles.In fact,the selfie has become so widely known that over 31million photos on Instagram are taken with the selfie.
Let's think about it.Someone takes about 10selfies each time they do,and they only end up posting one or two of those.They pick the one that makes them look the best.Isn't that beautiful?In that one picture,someone has given himself or herself confidence.Self-image is important.In society today,we are so often consumed with what society tells us is perfect.But maybe,with that one selfie,we feel that we fit that bill.We feel handsome,beautiful,confident,smart,happy and content.For that moment,everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us is erased,because that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.
I saw a spoken word poem recently and the young man said:If I ask you what you love,the answers will most likely roll off your tongue.You love to read.You love to write.You love birds,music,your mom,your brother,your sister,your daughter,your best friend,your dog.How long do you think you could go on and on before you said"I love myself"?
That statement hit me like a ton of bricks.I've struggled with confidence all of my life.I still do.And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence.However,the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.Pamela Rutledge agrees,stating,"There are many more photographs available now of real people than models."

52.According to the author,selfieC.
A.is an annoying habit for people
B.becomes a fashion among teenagers
C.gives a person a sense of confidence 
D.makes a person become self-centered
53.The author mentions a poem in the passage to stressD.
A.the power of true love 
B.the endless love we get
C.the kinds of love we have 
D.the need to love ourselves
54.What Pamela Rutledge said in the last paragraph suggests thatD.
A.selfie causes models to be out of work
B.selfie gets models to take more photos
C.selfie helps more people look like models
D.selfie provides more photos of real people
55.The best title for the passage isA.
A.The Value of Selfie 
B.The Origin of Selfie
C.Selfie Causes Bad Effects 
D.Selfie Creates Beauty.

16.
Homonym:a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world,but a different meaning
Same spelling,different meaning
Imagine,then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way,but have completely different meanings.Welcome to the world of homonyms.Take,for example,the word‘fail'---it can be a kind of festival,and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game.
Don't take it literally
So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to?---You don't,except by the context.Obviously,if someone asks you to‘give them a hand',they don't want you to remove what is at the end of your arm.
What's in a name?
Sometimes even the context doesn't help much---the result can be amusing.These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:
I used to be a banker,but I lost interest.
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.
More ambiguity
And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.
Double trouble
And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb,but have different meanings.Can you work this one out?
Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana.
If you like these homonyms,you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!
Explanations of jokes in the text
I used to be banker,but I lost interest.(I became bored with the job/I lost money)
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?(students/parts of his eyes)
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.(no difference in the situation/no money)
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.(the ball hit me/I suddenly realized)
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.(became known/fell out)
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.(can't be better/difficult to mix with a fork)
Time flies like an arrow.(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana.(insects enjoy eating fuit.)
56.Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?D
A.They share the same spellings regardless of meanings.
B.We can't know their meanings without context.
C.We may still feel confused even with context.
D.Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life.
57.The"beat"in the sentence"A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat,making for a satisfying breakfast."has a similar meaning toB.
A.The rain was beating down on the tin roof.
B.Taking the bus sure beats walking.
C.The doctor could feel no pulse beating.
D.You've been working too hard,you look dead beat.
