I Love to Hate, But I Hate When I Do Not Love.‎ B ‎ Every generation of teenagers is expert at finding new ways of driving their parents mad. When I was young, it was a simple matter of under-age drinking, unsuitable boyfriends or long conversations on the telephone, which could be easily seen by the entire family.‎ ‎ These days the technology of parent-crazing is absolutely more complicated. Today's teenagers conduct their rebellions（叛逆）online, watching YouTube clips, posting private images on their Facebook pages and seeking friends with strange hobbies, which are enough to freeze their parents' blood.‎ ‎ Danah Boyd, a Harvard academic, spent seven years being absorbed in teenage culture, attempting to explain young people to the adults who worry about them. Boyd interviewed 166 adolescents about their online lives, hung out with teens in public places and spent countless hours observing teens. From these interviews, she intended to explain the aspects of teenaged online behaviour that adults find most unacceptable.‎ ‎ Teenagers are normally considered by the society as “public threats or targets easily harmed”. However, the youths interviewed by Boyd argued that they would prefer to interact directly, but that their parents' concern for their safety and the loss of public spaces limited them to the home. The Internet has become their alternative meeting place.‎ ‎ Many writers couldn't resist reading Boyd's findings. Boyd's analysis of teenage life is realistic and profound. After reading much of what she discovers, most parents can give a sigh of relief. The kids are all right, but they want to be understood. They are not so different from their parents after all.‎ ‎24. The author writes the first two paragraphs to________________.‎ A. express the public's concern about the Internet ‎ B. explain how complicated the society has become C. warn us of the danger the Internet brings to people D. show today's teenage rebellions are different from the past ‎25. What's the author's attitude to Boyd's research?‎ A. favorable B. doubtful C. indifferent D. critical ‎26. According to Danah Boyd, ________________.‎ A. young people have lost interest in public spaces B. parents are partly responsible for teenaged online behavior C. surfing the Internet at home should be limited most of the time D. all the children are actually free from the bad effect of the Internet ‎27. What's the purpose of the author's writing the passage?‎ A. To discuss how modern technology influences teenagers.‎ B. To introduce Danah Boyd's research on networked teenagers.‎ C. To analyze the reasons why teens are lost in the Internet.‎ D. To criticize those parents who misunderstand their children.‎ C There's no doubt that our character has a profound effect on our future. What we must remember, however, is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate (命运), but how powerful we are in shaping our own character and, therefore, our own fate. Character may determine our fate, but character is not determined by fate.‎ It's a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life. It calls to mind old proverbs like "A leopard (猎豹) can't change its spots" and "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."‎ This perspective that our character is etched in stone is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance. As Popeye says, "I am what I am." The hidden message is: don't expect me to be more, better, or different.‎ Ultimately, these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.‎ How depressing it would be to believe that we can't choose to be better, more honest, more respectful, more responsible, and more caring. None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character. Not because we're bad, we don't have to be sick to get better, but because we're not as good as we could be.‎ There are so many things in life we can't control, whether we're beautiful or smart, whether we had good parents or bad, whether we grew up with affirmation or negation. It's inspiring to remember that nothing but moral will power is needed to make us better.‎ No, it isn't easy. But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior, we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher values so that we become what we want our children to think we are.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. is carved in the stone with knives. B. is controlled by oneself.‎ C. can be better and different. D. can't be changed easily.‎ ‎29. Which of the following would the writer agree with?‎ A leopard can’t change its spots. B. We must attach importance to self-acceptance.‎ C. We should value our lifelong potential for growth. D. We should make choices constantly.‎ ‎30. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Character can be formed and fixed. B. Character determines our fate.‎ C. We shape our own character. D. Changing our character isn't easy.‎ 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration(专心)is their biggest problem. 31 If so, use these tips to help you.‎ Study techniques ‎ ‎ 32 You shouldn't sit somewhere that you use for another purpose. For example, you always study at the desk, but when you sit on a sofa to study; your brain will think it is time to relax.&网] Before sitting down to study, bring together all the equipment you need. 33 If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.‎ Don't try to do a lot of things in one study period. 34 If you need a break, stand up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.‎ Test-taking skills ‎ All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous or tired to take your test.

Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often.‎ A. Don't watch TV while you are studying.‎ B. Finish one thing before beginning another.‎ C. You should always study in the same place.‎ D. It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan.‎ E. This means that you mustn't study all night before your test.‎ F. It has a negative influence on their study and their test results.‎ G.

Since he first started 37 his car to the young people, Wilson has 38 an astonishing 64, 000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 39 with the students he transports to and from school.

Although the 47 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes 48 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to 49 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 50 to buy them a meal.‎ For many student, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely 51 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to 52 vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 53 them to complete their education — but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 54 . “I just love driving and I love these kids.” Wilson said. “It’s such a(n) 55 to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.”‎ ‎36.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping（哭泣） sorrowfully（悲伤地） when she thought of the scolding（责骂） from her mother. Having wandered（游荡） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand（货摊） for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh（叹气） and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me,” she replied.‎ ‎“That's nothing. I'll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped（擦拭） her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless（无情的） compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude（感激） to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb（麻木的） with shock; she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered （变形）hands. “Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted（感激的）. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.‎ 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;‎ ‎4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Approaching the doorway，_____________________________________________________ ‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. _________________________________________ ‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 参考答案 听力1-5 ACBAB 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 CBACB 阅读理解21-23 ADA 24.

Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where might my mother be?” she wondered. “Is she really so angry with me that she doesn't want to show any care for me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother, and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes. “Here you come! I've been looking for you,” came the tired voice. Jenny couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms. “I'm sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude. Then she felt the ‎ hug tightened.‎
