21、The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the_41_ of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after_42_ family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes_

22、43_ shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “Theyre expected to be rebellious and selfish but_44_ they have other things on t

23、heir minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making_45_ . They dont want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this g

24、eneration of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. Maybe this _46_ view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage _47_ is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say th

25、ey get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as _48_beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents_49_ only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation thro

26、ughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.” III. Reading ComprehensionSection ASometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to earn money to cover living 50 . They dont act in the romantic

27、ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even more out of the question. 51 . my father has a bad temper. When hes very tired from hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temperOne d

28、ay, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.“What?” she replied, still doing her work.“Is there 52 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her 53 with

29、 surprise in her eyes. She didnt answer immediately. 54 , she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.I was very upset because I thought I had hurt her. I looked at her in 55 and didnt know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say gently “Susan, look at this thread. Sometimes it appears,

30、but most of time it disappearsin the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can 56 be seen anywhere or anytime, but its really there. Love is 57 .I listened carefully but I couldnt understand her until the next spring, when my father sud

31、denly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 58 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother would help my father walk slowly on t

32、he country road, along which there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 59 in two months. But after two months he still couldnt walk 60 . All of u

33、s were worried about him.“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, dont worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like 61 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 62 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply. 63 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet

34、kisses. _64 from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.50. A. feesB. expensesC. charges D. fares51. A. Besides B. However C. Because D. Still52. A. loveB. equalityC. conflictD. agreement53. A. handsB. headC. eye

35、sD. thumb54. A. ThereforeB. HoweverC. InsteadD. Otherwise55. A. astonishment B. disappointmentC. embarrassmentD. amazement56. A. nearlyB. hardlyC. surelyD. obviously57. A. outside B. selfishC. selflessD. inside58. A. paleB. curiousC. surprisedD. frightened59. A. recover B. dieC. riseD. leave60. A. f

36、or himselfB. by himselfC. of himselfD. to himself61. A. livingB. talkingC. walkingD. working62. A. Reading B. CoveringC. MeetingD. Turning63. A. EventuallyB. NowadaysC. MeanwhileD. Once64. A. So B. But C. Or D. ForSection B ANeil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 8

37、2. Many people paid tribute to the former astronaut. But other people feel regret that no human has been back to the moon since 1972, just three years after Armstrong landed on it and gave his famous “giant leap for mankind” speech.Elliot Pulham, Chief Executive of the Space Foundation, thinks that

38、Americas space agency NASA should get more money, like in the 1960s, during the moon landings programme, when astronauts went to the moon. “In this age of limited goals and tiny NASA budgets, Armstrong is a reminder of what our nation was once capable of,” he said. Armstrong died because of heart pr

39、oblems after surgery. His recovery seemed to be going well, and his death was a surprise to many people. His family described him as a “reluctant American hero” and said: “Honour his example of service, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think o

40、f Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”Speaking from the White House, Barack Obama said Armstrong was “among the greatest of American heroes not just of his time, but of all time”. He added: “And when Neil stepped on the moon for the first time, it was a moment of human achievement that will never be

41、 forgotten.”Buzz Aldrin flew with Armstrong on Apollo 11. He was the second man to walk on the moon. He said he was very sad at the death of his good friend and companion.“When I look at the moon I remember that special moment, over forty years ago, when Neil and I stood on the moon,” he said. “Look

42、ing back at our brilliant blue planet Earth hanging in the darkness of space, I realized that even though we were farther away from Earth than two humans had ever been, we were not alone. Almost the entire world took that memorable journey with us. I know many millions of people around the world wil

43、l join me in mourning the death of a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew. My friend Neil took the small step but giant leap that changed the world and will always be remembered as a historic moment in human history.”In the US, people felt that he represented the achievement of a past a

44、ge of American greatness. Today, things are very different: NASA has cancelled a number of missions because they dont have enough money.Former astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last man on the moon, said: “Neil did something that people thought was impossible.” Others complained about the state of the US

45、. Journalist Andrew Pasternak wrote: “It will take longer to rebuild lower Manhattan after 9/11 than it took to build an entire space program and send a man to the moon.”Of course, NASA has its modern successes. Its engineers have landed a nuclear-powered robot on Mars. There will also be another Ma

46、rs mission. It will drill below the planets surface. But these achievements are not as exciting as Armstrongs. NASA administrator Charles Bolden expressed that in his tribute. “As we enter this next era of space exploration, we are standing on the shoulders of Neil Armstrong,” he said. Armstrong was

47、 disappointed by what NASA has become. Blogger Eric Berger saw an email from Armstrong and other former astronauts. It expressed frustration at the current problems at NASA and quoted Yogi Berra, an American baseball legend: “If you dont know where you are going, you might not get there.”65. Why is

48、Neil Armstrongs death described as a surprise to many? Because_. A. he was relatively young B. it was believed he was recovering well from bypass surgery C. he was a larger-than-life reminder of what America was once capable of D. he was the only person to land on the moon66. Which of these sentence

49、s best describes the current situation at NASA? A. NASA is expanding its operations and plans to send more men to the moon. B. NASA has had to cancel a number of missions because of a lack of funds. C. NASA has cancelled all further space exploration missions as a result of budget cuts. D. NASA, acc

50、ording to the article is now on the very edge of bankrupt. 67. What did Neil Armstrong almost certainly think of the current situation at NASA? A. He was very disappointed. B. He was very angry. C. He was excited. D. He was quite depressed.68. How, according to Buzz Aldrin, will Armstrongs giant lea

51、p be remembered?A. as a historic moment that changed the worldB. as a memorable journey with the whole world watchingC. as a representation of the achievements of a past ageD. as a story that can not be repeated for human beingB8 Ways to Avoid Cancer in Your Life1. Eat BlueberriesAside from being a

52、healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon(结肠) cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cer

53、eal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.2. Drink Pomegranate(石榴)JuiceThe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains polyphenols, isoflavones and ellagic acid, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered

54、 that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit the growth of lung cancer.3. RelaxFeeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high l

55、evels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!4. Take Selenium(硒)Selenium is

56、well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 year period, they cut their prostate(前列腺) c

57、ancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.5. Eat Sushi(寿司)Seaweed may not be your idea of a great snack, but it is high in fiber, calcium and

58、 iron, and dry, roasted seaweed sheets used in sushi provide the additional benefits of vitamins A and C. Sushi rolls are also high in protein a typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein. So dont skimp(节省)on the Sushi!6. Enjoy the OutdoorsVitamin D causes early deat

59、h of cancer cells. A study published in the American Journey of Clinical Nutrition reported that women who supplemented their diets with 1,000 international. Units of vitamin D every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer ever a four-year period that did women taking a placebo(

60、无效对照剂). Experts recommend supplementing your fun in the sun with 1,100 to 2,000IU of vitamin D each day.7. Breathe Clean AirTheres no question that secondhand smoke kills. A recent American Journal of Public Health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of ca

61、rcinogen(致癌物质) in their urine(尿) than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations. Whats worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every hour worked. Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants. The message is clear: Do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of

62、 smoke. 8. Break a SweatEven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of metastasis(转移性) prostate cancer than men who didnt work out at a

63、ll. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study. 69. To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat _ as often as possible.A. sushi B. blueberries C. pomegranates D. Vitamin D70. A person is very likely to

64、 catch some type of cancer if _.A. he is very fond of exercise every day. B. he is addicted to smoking C. he is always feeling extremely stressed or worried D. he likes to have meals in restaurants71. _ will remarkably reduce the risk of mens prostate cancer.A. Having a daily supplement of seleniumB

65、. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every dayC. Breathing fresh air now and thenD. Taking exercise at least once a week CAbout this time every year, I get very nostalgic (怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled

66、the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the othe

67、r has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street

68、 will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much long

69、er. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see toda

70、y are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front p

71、orch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever. The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and t

72、he lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive c

73、ars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. Perhap

74、s the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for new homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity fo

75、r the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. I

76、t is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the h

77、eartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be th

78、e happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.72. The writer finds it hard to accept the fact that _. A. many of his good neighbors are growing old B. the lady next door who used to yell at him and his brother is now a widow C. the life of his neighbors has become very bor

79、ing D. the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life 73. The writer thinks of the past all the more when he sees those who had grown up with him _. A. continue to consider home to be the center of their lives B. leave the neighborhood they grew up in C. still enjoy playing card games in

80、the evenings D. develop new interests and have new dreams 74. What does the writer mean by saying “my street will be another pea in the pod”? A. his street will be very noisy and dirty B. his street will soon be crowded with people C. his street will have some new attractions D. his street will be n

81、o different from any other street 75. Which could be a good title for the passage?A. The Past of My Street will Live Forever B. Unforgettable People and Things of My StreetC. My Old Street In My Minds Isnt What It Used to BeD. The Big Changes of My StreetSection CA. Manufacturing industry in informa

82、tion economyB. News in the age of informationC. Argument about individual accounts and their reliabilityD. Be your own investigative journalistE. Dont believe everything you read in the newspapersF. Information is presented in an entertaining way76. With the arrival of the age of “information econom

83、y”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and report

84、s of events intentionally staged for journalists. In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson.77. There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspapers owner, Lord Copper. The editors can never disagree with him. When hes righ

85、t about something they answer “definitely”, and when hes wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper.” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them.78. In countries where the news is not off

86、icially controlled, it is likely to be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show. In Britain, we have the tabloi

87、d newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment. There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story.79. There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording so

88、und and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mean also is that well be subjected to a still greater amoun

89、t of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will never be able to check.80. Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I dont just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone w

90、ants you to listen to their version, you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete

91、the statements in No More Than 10 Words:The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fad (一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer which allows Web users to watch TV programs on

92、the Internet adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear popular in the US and UK that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of Londons Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, w

93、hen terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”

94、, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple creat

95、ed the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability.”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs
