Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other
2、 people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure. Peers can have a positive influence on each other. May
3、be another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyones reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other. Sometimes peers influence each other
4、in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball. It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention t
5、o your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Youve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to“choose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who dont cut class, smoke cigarettes, or l
6、ie to their parents, then you probably wont do these things either, even if other kids do. If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two.21. For whom is the passage most probably written?A .S
7、tudents B. Parents C. Teachers D. Doctors.22. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_.Aexplains why friendship is so importantBgives advice on how to deal with peer pressureCdiscusses how peers influence usDshows how to make more good friends23. Which of following may help handle peer press
8、ure?ASpending more time with classmates. BTaking up more relaxing hobbies.CChoosing friends with no bad habits. DHelping others who are in trouble.24. What is the topic of the passage?AFriendship BMaking decisions CSelf-confidence DPeer pressureB I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them an
9、other shot because Im in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York, “Im having a dinner party” means: “Im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you ea
10、t.” Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout; “Where are you going?” And its not like I c
11、an say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go. But in London, dinner parties are in peoples homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nation
12、s. In New York, the mix is less striking. Its like a gathering at Bloomingdales , a well-known department store. For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New Yorkers. But at Mallerys, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it wa
13、s. In New York people would think it was a usual club.25. What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. choice B. try C. style D. goal26. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New Yorkers?A. There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bil
14、l is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash 27. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusual B. Full of tricks C. Less costly D. More interesting 28. What is the authors opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?A. Easy-going B. Self-centred. C. Generous D. Conse
15、rvativeCHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cant make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood pass
16、ing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as
17、 the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired.Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of Englands
18、most outstanding scientists J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting w
19、orker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated-those are emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes
20、fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.29.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a labours blood.B. Albert Einstein didnt feel worn out after a days work.C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D. A
21、mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.30. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting worker tired？AChallenging mental work. BUnpleasant emotions.CEndless tasks. DPhysical labor.31. Whats the authors attitude towards the scientists ideas?AHe agrees with them. BHe d
22、oubts them.CHe argues against them. DHe hesitates to accept them.32. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energeic, sitting workers need to _.Ahave some good blood Benjoy their workCexercise regularly Ddiscover fatigue toxinD“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “som
23、e kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the English wer
24、e soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to
25、be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use
26、 for listening secretly to others conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little
27、 problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering a bug in his invented record player.”33. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. Americans had difficul
28、ty in learning to use the word bugB. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC. the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth centuryD. both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century34. What does the word “flaw” in the last paragr
29、aph probably mean_.A. Explanation. B. Finding. C. Origin. D. Fault.35. The passage is mainly concerned with_.A. the misunderstanding of the word bug B. the development of the word bugC. the public views of the word bug D. the special characteristics of the word bug第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的七个
