They have always complained(抱怨), more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they always want to control them; that they do not trust them to deal with problems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. ‎ Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, and music. Actually this is not what they really intend to do. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or clothes or hairstyles make their parent angry, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. ‎ Sometimes you do not obey orders, and are proud because you do not want your parents to say yes to what you do. If they do, it looks as if you are unfaithful to your own age group. But in that case, you will probably think that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parent’s control. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can persuade others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. Get them to feel your sense of responsibility(责任) and initiative(进取心) so that they will allow you to do what you want to do. ‎ ‎21. The first paragraph is mainly about ______. ‎ A. children’s complaints about their parents B. misunderstandings between children and their parents C. the control of the parents over their children D. children’s ability to deal with problems ‎22. The underlined word “irritate” in this passage is closest in meaning to “______”. ‎ A. to make someone excited B. to make someone angry C. to please someone D. to comfort someone ‎23. Children choose to have certain strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______. ‎ A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better D. want to make their parents angry ‎24. Children do not want their parents to say yes to whatever they do because they ______. ‎ A. have already been accepted into the adult world B. feel that they are better in a small way than the adults C. are not likely to win over the adults D. have a desire to be independent B Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.‎ ‎ Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines(刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.‎ ‎ Some plants , such as the oak trees, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth.‎ ‎ Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar(毛虫)bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical ‎ messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.‎ ‎ Many plants depends on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China , for instance, has prickly(多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom(毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.‎ ‎25. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals .‎ A. can get the lower leaves easily B. like eating the lower leaves C. like leaves with sharp spines D. have teeth and claws ‎26. To defend themselves , oak trees use .‎ A. chemical means B. physical means C. bitter chemicals D. sandy materials ‎27. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?‎ A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.‎ B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.‎ C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.‎ D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.‎ ‎28. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. Plants and Animals B. How Plants Defend Themselves C. Attacks and Defenses D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves C ‎ Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion(拥塞), accidents and fast fuel consumption(消费), cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death. Last winter, car fumes(烟雾) formed heavy smog over Beijing, making the sky gloomy for weeks and deteriorating people's health.‎ One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Tsinghua University, campus buses are driven by electricity. In Beijing some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars to completely replace the traditional ones.‎ Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict （限制）the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles（交通车辆） are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not use private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. 　　‎ On the whole, the elimination （根除）of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments. This problem will be solved only with the help of science and technology.‎ ‎29. What is the main reason for air pollution in big cities?‎ A cars. B. accidents C. fast fuel consumption D. congestion ‎ ‎30. What is the best title of this passage? ‎ A. Air Pollution B. Air Pollution and Cars ‎ C. the Cause of the Pollution D. Ways to Solve the car Problem ‎31. How many ways are mentioned to solve the pollution caused by cars? ‎ A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four ‎32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ‎ A. In some university, electricity is used in school buses ‎ B. Public transportation should replace all the private cars ‎ C. New models of clean cars will soon replace the traditional cars D. It is only the government’s efforts that can help solve air pollution caused by cars ‎ D Tourism Problems Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(居民)of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地)country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wellbeing of local inhabitants.‎ Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.‎ On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs. Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build a large hotels, airports, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.‎ Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.‎ ‎33．Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT________.‎ A．a bad effect on other industries B．a change of tourists' customs C．overcrowding of places of interest D．pressure on traffic ‎34．Not enough tourism can lead to________.‎ A．an increase of unemployment B．a decrease in tourist attractions C．the higher cost of support facilities D．a rise in price and a fall in pay ‎35．The word“handle”in the last paragraph most probably means“________”．‎ A．carry away B．pick up C．get in D．take down 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。 ‎ Are you doing all you can to recycle your rubbish? It only takes a minute to recycle and help reduce waste in your home as well as the costs of waste management. Here are some ideas to get you started.‎ ‎ 36 Start a compost(混合肥料) bin in your garden. You'll be amazed how much this can reduce the bulk(体积) of your rubbish and it's great for the garden, too.‎ ‎ 37 Get into the habit of sorting them into recycling categories (class or group of things)--glass, aluminum (铝), plastics and paper.‎ Glass containers can be placed in the bottle banks at supermarket car parks throughout the city. Look for the big green bins. 38 ‎ Aluminum cans can earn you cash, so don't just throw them away--save them and save money. Ring our council（委员会） to find out when they collect.‎ ‎ 39 Weekly collections are common in most areas. Make sure you place recyclable paper in the black bins provided. Ask the council offices if you don't already have a bin. 40 .‎ Most plastic bottles and containers can be recycled. Look on the bottom of the container for the identification (识别) code.‎ A.

Quite a few students have moved out from their dormitories to live in a rented room near the school to make every minute ‎ count．I’m writing to express my opinion on it.‎ It cannot be denied that they have their own time schedule after classes and easily concentrate on lessons alone in their small room．What’s important, with their moms taking care of them，they can spare more time for studies. However，there exist some disadvantages. For example，sometimes their minds go wandering easily without competitors round．Furthermore，a student who is left alone to study at rather an easy atmosphere tends to get distracted or even feel tired easily．‎ From my perspective,I prefer to live in the rented room．In spite of the fact that the dorm life is full of fun and friendship，noisy songs and shouts in the dorms after evening classes only quiet down long after the blackout at 10：30 pm，leading to a serious lack of sleep．Worse still, they don’t make fullest use of time to study.‎ Yours Sincerely,‎ Li Hua ‎
