Why cant there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.The 18-year-old was Shandong Province
9、s top scorer in this years college entrance examination. After graduating from Taian No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大学), although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.“I want to experience a more international school and social life
10、 in Hong Kong. Im majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but its
11、 convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.“Im happy that I made the right decision to study her
12、e. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.:Liu has 18 credit hours(学分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. E
13、ssays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And , of course, there are various parties to attend. “I wasnt a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing,” Liu said.21. Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, beca
14、use_.A. she couldnt be admitted to Peking UniversityB. Hong Kong is a good placeC. she wants to be far from her homelandD. the Chinese University of Hong Kong can widen her horizons22.

Liu Ran had to overcome the difficulties in many aspects EXCEPT_.A. food B. language C. missing home D. no friendsBNo country in the world has more daily newspapers than the
16、 USA. There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all ov
17、er the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed description of national and interrnational news, but many tend to limit themselves to st
18、ate or city news to attract local readers.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American n
19、ewspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate(中立的). Many of these
20、 papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to give a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that i

23、 di舒中高二统考英语 第3页 (共10页)fferent viewsB. supporting extremist groupsC. exposing political scandalsD. serving the country wellCWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached
24、 adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who h
25、ad worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good
26、 about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, hou
27、sework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as
28、 likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independenc
29、e, confidence and competence-the foundations of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this wo
30、rld if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”28. Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as _. A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to competence C. an example for parents expectations of th
31、eir childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men29. Vaillants team obtained their findings by _. A. recording the boys effort in school B. evaluating the mens mental health C. comparing different sets of scores D. measuring the mens problem solving ability30. What does the underlined
32、word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edge C. Clear and definiteD. Sudden and rapid31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C. Love brings more
33、 joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to ones success.D Im one of seven children. My three sisters and I grew up in a small bedroom with two sets of beds. We shared a closet, a dresser, and just about everything else. Our bedroom always had stuff hanging about. How about the life
34、of only children? I looked longingly at their perfect dolls and toys placed carefully on their perfect shelves in their perfect little girl bedrooms. They had bathrooms to themselves. These little girls would come home to everything just perfect.Looking back, I had to admit my “only children” friend
35、s had nice things. They had designer beds and beautiful bedrooms, but I always had someone to play with and talk to. Even if everyone else hated me, one of my sisters would not and that was all I needed.Our house was the center of activity for the whole neighborhood. We had dance shows and baseball
36、games in the street. We had everything we ever needed because we had each other. I have come to realize that there are so many reasons that sisters make a difference to your life and I can give you a few here:They get you. Your sisters have grown up with you so they know the entire back story of you
37、r situation and everything leading to it. They may not agree with you all the time but they never wonder why you do what you do or say what you say.They have suffered with you through awful times. I know that when one of my sisters is unhappy, I am unhappy too. When some non-family member tries to h
38、urt you, the claws of them will come out.They have cheered you on. Sisters do get jealous at times but, even so, they are happy that you are doing well. They rejoice at your new bonus as long as you take them out for drinks and foods！They are on the same diet as you. We are women in a world where th
39、inness is equal to beauty. No matter how unjust this is, we are always on a diet. There is nothing like a sister calling and complaining about how she wants an ice cream and cant ever have one again.They are aging at the same rate as you. As we get older, we change, and however miserable this can be
40、, it is heartening（令人振奋的） to know that someone shares your misery. They know what you are going through because they are going through it too.The last and best thing about sisters is that they stick with us. We can have our upsets and misunderstandings but we always come back to each other.I know ma
41、ny people reading this may have had upsets with their sisters. All I can say is communication fixes everything. If you miss your sister, tell her so. If you have a BFF (Best Friend Forever)that has stuck with you through thick and thin, adopt her as your sister and keep her close to you.32. How does
