18、hting with me. I want to run away. ” Some teens feel their home is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their lives44. We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in45 giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We als

We give them a phone number if they still dont want to live in their “prison”. “I dont want to 47any more” is something we hear, and suicide（自杀）calls are some of the hardest to 48.

H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true? cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S. H.E. fan. After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spre
25、ad the news. For fans like her, S. H. E.s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about. The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers English names. Last week S. H. E. announced they wou
26、ld perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15. At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed. I love their music, healthy image and everythin
27、g related to them. Thank God that, although my parents dont understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show, said Peng about the Shanghai performance. It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have made audiences much excited. In the past year the band has p
28、assed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia. When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. We had never met before, and we didnt talk at all at the beginning, recalled Ella. When asked about the secre
29、t of their success, she said, Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters. Its really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing bu

33、opularity among their fans? A. Their music and their healthy image . B. They can make audience much excited. C. Their success meets their fans day dream of becoming others idols. D. Their average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep them close to their fans.B As we all know, it was Thomas Jeffers
34、on who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress（议会）. As a result, he became famous. Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics
35、. Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative（代表） of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams. Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands.
36、 Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured. Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bil
37、l which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence. 60. From the passage we can infer that America won its independence in _. A. 1786 B. 1776 C. 1842 D. 1800 61. Which o
38、f the following statements is true? A. Jefferson was not only very talented but also very handsome. B. Jefferson was not an easy person to get along with. C. Jefferson was an amusing talker, but not good at speaking in public. D. Not being politically-minded, Jefferson never vetoed a bill passed by
39、the Congress. 62. Jeffersons greatest contribution in American history should be that _. A. he did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia B. he was strongly against the slavery C. he was for the right of free speech D. he wrote the Declaration of Independence CDid you know that womens br
40、ains are smaller than mens? The average womens brain weighs 10% less than mens. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent（聪明的） than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference
41、in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes(
42、性别).It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When
43、 it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, its women who come out on top every time. There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial（空间的） tasks, men know better where things are in
44、relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of lifes great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions and women often need to! The differences begin when fetuses（胎儿）
45、 are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier （障碍物） before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial
46、skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors（祖先） ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research. If all this disappoints you, it shouldnt. “The brain changes throughout our lives acco
47、rding to what we do with it.” says a biologist.63Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? AWomens brain is 10% less than mens. BGrey matter plays the same role as white matter. CGrey matter controls thinking in the brain. DBoth sexes have the same amount of white matter.64Wha
48、t can we infer from the second and third paragraphs? AWomen prefer doing many things at a time. BMen do better dealing with directions. CWomen do not need to tell directions. DMen have weaker spatial abilities.65Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph? AYoung boys
49、may be stronger than young girls. BMore women take up jobs requiring speech skills. CWomen may have stronger feelings than men. DOur ancestors needed more spatial skills.66What can we infer from this passage?AThe writer shows that he knows a lot about brains.BThe writer finds some examples to prove
50、the researchers words.CThe writer informs readers that men should find jobs requiring speech skills.DThe writer describes things as they are. 草塔中学2013学年第一学期期中考试 座位号 高二（实验班小班文科班） 英语 答题卷 DLast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona.
