26、what you pour down your throat. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of so-called energy (能量) drinks on the market. Most of them have an attractive color and cool name. Their nutrition (营养) lists also contains various things from vitamins to ginseng (人参). Sound
27、s great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine (咖啡因). These drinks are typically aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be carefu
28、l not to drink too much Caffeine raises your heartbeat. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited their use.

33、 think Im nothing more than a dead fish.” “I dont want to do anything.” “Im so beat and so sad.”. The young generation in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have become “beat and sad” slowly and secretly. Some people even called it “the beat culture”. The “Beat” youths dont
34、 want to do anything. They have no purpose no desire and they are totally depressed（沮丧的） so that they only want to live an aimless life. The “Ge You slouch (葛优瘫)” and the song I feel like having been drained are the examples. Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade th
35、e youths into embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is really a kind gesture. However, we dont have to worry too much about this “beat culture.” In fact, its not a negative thing. “Beat” never means despair, but a way of self-mockery (自
36、嘲) and pressure relief. In general, the youths in China are not “beat”. According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold a positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard,
37、you can have your own day”. Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and computer. Compared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic（悲观的）. Of course there are some social reasons f
38、or the appearing of “the Beat Culture”. As urbanization（城市化） develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never meet with before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance(不重要) and powerlessness are easy to get hold of the young people. Without
39、proper care, they could threaten our mentality and cause many social problems. These problems probably need our attention more. 32. “The Beat culture” includes the following examples except that A. the young generation dont feel like doing anything. B. the young generation consider themselves dead f
40、ish. C. the young generation in big cities are facing new challenges. D. the young generation enjoy the song I feel like having been drained. 33. Which word has the most similar meaning with “decadence” in Paragraph 2?A. pessimismB. lazinessC. sufferingsD. loneliness34. What can we learn from the pa
41、ssage?A. Most people believe that with hard work, people can have their own day.B. These days, young people suffer much more loneliness than their parents.C. Social development does bring some pressure to the younger generation.D. Chinese youths are more negative than young people in developed count
42、ries.35. Whats the main idea of the text?A. “The Beat Culture” is popular among the Chinese youngsters.B. How does “the Beat Culture” affect the Chinese youth.C. “The Beat Culture” is positive to Chinese youngsters.D. The Chinese youths are not the beat generation. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，

Whether you are coming from a middle school (grades six through eight) or a junior high school (grades seven through nine), there are many things about high school that are different from your old school e
44、nvironment. 36You will face being in a new school, making new friends in an unfamiliar class and getting to know new teachers. These new teachers will usually have higher academic (学术的) level than your middle and junior-high school teachers. 37In return, they expect you to work hard and develop your
45、 skills, On top of all this, peer pressure to drink and smoke often increases in high school. 38Although there is a lot of pressure, it is nothing you cannot deal with. If you are feeling pressure to do something that you feel is wrong, talk to a friend, parent or counselor to find a solution. 39If
46、you are not succeeding academically, find someone to help you. If you feel lonely, try to join a school club or group to make new friends. 40With time, you will come to be thankful for everything about your experience.

85、e other newcomers. He was not shy and seemed to immediately recognize all 119 kids by their names. Who can do that? Well, the new student was not a human but a robot. The 1.2-meter-tall student is part of a 14-month experiment. The experiment is to test if robots can gradually learn to naturally dea
86、l with a group of people. Compared to other students, the robot has an unfair advantage. His daily conversation level has been limited to that of a five-year-old, but he was preprogrammed with the facial photos and voiceprints of all 119 fifth graders and teachers. He was also preprogrammed with the
87、 contents of the entire fifth grade science textbook. As a result, he impressed the class by answering every question correctly. The robot can answer the teachers questions correctly, but thats not all. He not only gets along well with his classmates, but after class he also likes shaking hands with the sixth graders. In fact, this is not the first time the robot has been around humans. In the past he has done many tasks, including helping the elderly shop for groceries.
