16、as beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently. My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. Im so glad I did. On the road to t
17、he harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big hums(脊背)in the distance. On approaching them, we saw it was a
18、 mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe itthere arent any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whale actually as big as our boat was obviously stuc
19、k and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “Shes trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to he other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whal
20、e, pushed it gently. With out several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swan up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried t
21、o lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part lf clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and of
22、f they swam into the distance. In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. 56.The a

26、ghting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part
27、, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents; point of view, the only course of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this arti
28、cle, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of cloth
29、ing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter wha
30、t the topic ispolitics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an eggthe point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority someone who actually knows something and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, a
31、s long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.60.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?

Future of the parent-teen relationshipCThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）. Yet these are not girls in the
35、ir teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more
36、frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four yearsnow you can pick one up at the supermarket when ever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and peop
37、le get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameat 5 or 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said. “Clothes are
38、now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buy
39、ing more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity（名流）style than in previous years.She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mi
40、rren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When
41、 I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”64Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, .Athe p
42、rice of clothes has generally fallen by 70%Bthe spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%Cpeople spend 30% less than they did on clothesDthe amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%65When can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?AThey are often ignored by fashion designers.BThey ar
43、e now more easily influenced by stars.CThey are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.DThey are more interested in clothes because of their old age.66It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because .Athey get tired of things more quicklyBTV shows teach t
44、hem how to change their lookCthey are in much better shape nowDclothes are much cheaper than before67Which is the best possible title of the passage?AAge Is No Barrier for Fashion FansBThe More Fashionable, the Less ExpensiveCUnexpected Changes in FashionDBoom of the British Fashion IndustryDThis br
45、ief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics; reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesnt just mean
46、recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading
47、 and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. Ive seen it again and again; some-one who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasnt read it at all.Only a thi
48、rd of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devote to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻的) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion regarding histo
49、ry. Well, he was a history teacher if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got cross. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, the demand all the concentration and study that
50、math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although its commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates t
51、o the 1960s, one of the references (参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.These are small points, though, and dont affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.68. According to
52、Armstrong, the goal of reading is to A. gain knowledge and expand ones view B. understand the meaning between the lines C. experts ideas based on what one has read D. get information and keep it alive in memory69.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts A. requires great efforts B. d
53、emands real passion C. is less natural than learning math D. is as natural as learning a language70.What is a shortcoming of Armstrongs work according to the author A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory. B. There is too much discussion on studying science. C. The style is too serious. D. It lacks
54、 new information. 71.This passage can be classified as A. an advertisement B. a book review C. a future story D. a news reportEHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate, more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). Its too bad that humans cant hib
55、ernate. In fact, as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over the Fran
56、ce shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radios The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的)lighting and the electric bulb.When h
57、istorians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”. which was not clarified, though, Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours uninterrupted sleep is a modem invention,In the past
58、, without the artificial light of the city bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then world themselves around midnight, The late night period was known as “The Watch”. It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited f
59、amily and neighbors.According to some sleep researchers, a short of insomnia（失眠）at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning, This perio
60、d can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesnt help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a
61、full nights continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warrens theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.72.The example of the French peasants shows the fact that .A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping
62、 habitsC. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherD. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end 73The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people .Ato set traps to catch animalsBto wake up their family and neighborsCto remind others of the timeDto
63、guard against possible dangers74. What does the author advise people to do?A. Sleep in the way animals do.B. Consult a doctor if they cant sleep.C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.75. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To give a prescripti
64、on for insomnia B. To urge people to sleep less.C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modem peopleD. To throw new light on human sleep.五、书面表达假定你班在“珍爱生命，拒闯红灯”教育活动中，召开了一次主题班会。请你根据下表中的内容，用英语写一篇短文。行人闯红灯的危害. 妨碍交通，影响车辆的正常行驶。. 容易引发事故，危及他人和自身的生命安全。 （自己设想）对行人闯红灯的处罚措施. 批评教育，让其意识到闯红灯的危害性。. 当场给予警告并罚款。 （自己设想）注意：1.内

68、e the traffic light is red. As we can see, some pedestrians dont obey traffic rules and jay-walk frequently. This blocks traffic, seriously affects drivers and causes accidents to happen, endangering the safety of pedestrians and drivers alike. In a word, jaywalking produces negative effects and doe
69、s not help to develop good social behavior.It is really a pity to see all this in our society, and to deal with the situation, the government has taken some measures. When caught jaywalking, pedestrians are reprimanded so that they will become aware of the dangers of doing this, or they are fined on the spot. Sometimes the traffic police will report jaywalkers to their workplace and expose them to the public. However, it will still take a long time to stop pedestrians from jay-walking.
