They have always co
20、mplained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I believe it i
21、s true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate (激怒) their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in music and entertainers. This is not their motive. They feel isolated from the adult world
22、 into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles annoy their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small wa
23、y, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the loser; you cannot win but a
24、t least you keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you intend to control your life, coop
25、eration can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will offer you the authority to do what you want to do. （ ）46What does the first paragraph mainly
26、 talk about?AThe misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents.BThe dominance of the parents over their children.CThe teenagers criticism of their parents.DThe teenagers ability to deal with crises.（ ）47Why do teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles?ABecause they have a strong
27、desire to be leaders in style and taste.BBecause they want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.CBecause they have no other way to enjoy themselves better.DBecause they want to make their parents angry.（ ）48Teenagers dont want their parents to approve of whatever they do becaus

Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（摆脱）and is
30、not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a pretty girl for two hours, it seems like a minute. but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed
31、 that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.They also indicate that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more quickly it seems to pass. For instance, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spen
32、d fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve n
33、ever been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real notion of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route
34、 on occasions can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads on s string, they blend together, and even months become a single day. To count his , try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your dayto stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is another way to slow the
35、passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seen so full and long is that these are the days learning and discovery.（ ）51When people live an identical and routine life, time seems to .AstopBslow downCspeed upDbe in a psychological sense（ ）52The quotation in the first paragraph is used
36、to show .Athe difference between physical time and psychological timeBthat time should not be measured by a clock.Cthat physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.Dthat with little regard of a clock or calendar, psychological time is quite puzzling（ ）53Which of the following examp
37、les does not make time seem to pass more rapidly?AA trip to a familiar place.BOffice work with schedules and appointments.CLife of a businessman filled with appointments.DThe learning of something difficult and interesting.（ ）54The word “novelty”(Line 4, Para.4) could be best replaced by .Aexcitemen
38、tBentertainmentCunfamiliarityDamusement（ ）55What is the man idea of this passage?AIt states the principles of time.BIt explains why time flies and how to slow it down.CIt describes various views about time.DIt shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.（C）Americans are reputed
39、 to be friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances. This attitude
40、probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people. They incline to “compartmentalize”（划分）friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team.” “family friends ” and so forth.Because the United States is a highly a
41、ctive society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem abrupt or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you question
42、s that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you dont understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them
43、, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become weary of listening. It doesnt matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with
44、silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for instance, than deal with silence.On the other hand, dont expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subject directly involve the United Stat
45、ed. Because the United States is geographically distant from many other nations, some Americans tend not to be aware of what goes on in other parts of the world.（ ）56According to the passage, Americans attitude towards friendship is .Aunusual to have only one intimate friendBmore informal than that
46、in other countriesCto regard all friends as only social acquaintancesDto divide friends into several grades（ ）57The phrase “highly charged ” (Line2, Para.2) most probably means .Aextremely expensiveBmuch cheerfulChighly responsibleDfull of mobility and change （ ）58What can we learn from the passage?
47、AAmericans know a lot about international affairs.BFriendships among Americans tend to be more formal.CAmericans always seem to be on the move.DAmericans like to cooperate with other people.（ ）59It can be inferred from the passage that .AAmericans want to take part in all kinds of activitiesBcuriosi
48、ty is the major characteristic of AmericansCAmericans do not know how to deal with silenceDAmericans characters are influenced by their social and geographical environments.（ ）60Why do Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world?ABecause they are not interested in other countries.BBecause their c
49、ountry doesnt have many neighboring nations.CBecause they are too proud of themselves.DBecause they are too busy to learn about other countries.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列的应用文：aNeeded: Full time secretary position available.

60、参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。阅读材料Cheating is on the rise in US schools. In a recent survey of high school students in the United States, 74 percent admitted that they had cheated, or helped someone else cheat on a test. Students place the blame for this phenomenon（现象）on society. Consider the view of this
61、 high school junior from Massachusetts, “To be successful in the world today must cut corners, cheat. Everybody cheats. Just not everybody gets caught.”The other students view is even more telling,“In the real world, people cheat all of the time. And when you are in a competitive environment, you do
62、 what it takes to win, whether it be cheating or whatever”. While students have cheated for generations, the ease with which they are able to justify（证明）their behavior by blaming it on others is a more recent and worrisome phenomenon. Of course, many of these attitudes are not new. What is worrisome
63、 is that students see education as a hurdle（障碍）that needs to be crossed to get to the next level, whether thats earning a diploma（文凭），gaining admission to college or getting a job interview. But the future is not all hopeless. In high schools, an increasing number of students and faculty（老师）are taki
64、ng action. Students who are willing to work hard and be honest are becoming frustrated（受挫的）with the lack of response to high level of cheating. So are teachers who truly care about what their students learn. In others, someone has heard about the successful efforts of another school.高三英语中段试题参考答案15AA

68、 exams. Students contribute the blame to society. In their opinion, many people have to cheat in order to succeed in the competitive society.

70、t on yourself not on others. However, how to stop cheating? I think there are two ways we can adopt. First, a severe punishment should be put into effect to prevent students from cheating. Second, great effort should be made to make students aware of what kind of person the society needs and try to improve their self-confidence. Whats more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.第 9 页 共 9 页
