15．Embroidering（刺繡）
When I was a little boy living in New York，my mother used to embroider a great deal．I would sit at her knee and look up from the （36）A and ask what she was doing．She（37）D me that she was embroidering．I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was．As from the underside I watched her work within the （38）Bof the little round hoop（鐵環(huán)） that she held in her hand，I complained to her that it sure looked（39）Afrom where I sat．
She would smile at me，look down and（40）Csay，"My son，you go about your （41）Bfor a while，and when I am finished with my embroidering，I will put you on my （42）Cand let you see it from my side．"
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the （43）Cones and why they seemed so jumbled（混亂的）from my（44）D．A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say，"Son，come and sit on my knee．"This I did only to be  surprised and （45）Bto see a beautiful flower or a sunset．I could not （46）A it，because from underneath it looked so messy．
Then mother would （47）Cto me，"My son，from underneath it did look messy and jumbled，but you did not realize that there was a （48）Aplan on the top．It was a （49）D．I was only following it．Now look at it from my side （50）Byou will see what I was doing．"
Many （51）Athrough the years，I have（52）Dup to my Heavenly Father and said，"Father，what are You doing"？He （53）B，"I am embroidering your （54）C．"I say，"But it looks like a mess to me．It seems so jumbled．The threads seem so dark．Why can't they all be bright？"The Father seems to tell me，"'My child，you go about your business of doing My business，and one day I will bring you to （55）D and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side．"

14．One of the first questions young children ask is"Why？"It is human nature to want （41）to find （find） out why things are the way they are．You can find out"Why"by turning the question into a hypothesis （假設(shè)） for（42）an experiment．
（43）For example，suppose you have been trying to grow tomato plants，but insects keep destroying （44）them．Someone tells you that（45）putting （put） large strips of colored cloth around the plants will keep insects away．（46）Your（you ）question might be"Do certain colours of cloth keep insects（47）away？"Then you'd begin your experiment．The first step would be to place different-colored strips of cloth around all of the plants except one．Then，as regular intervals，you would observe and record and note（48）whether the plant had any insect damage or not．
This experiment may prove that the answer to your question is"No，it is not different-colored strips of cloth （49）thatkeep away insects．"Or you may find that answer is"Yes，certain insects are kept away by blue cloth，but not yellow cloth．"…（50）Whatever you have found，you are well on your way to understanding how you can use scientific thinking to solve a problem in you own life．

3．When I was growing up，16 was always a magical age，a symbol of maturity，responsibility and of course  more independence and freedom．I sat through the hours of Driver's Ed classes eager to get out on the road．I couldn't wait to get my driver's license．
But it's a different story for today's teens．In January，the U．S．Department Transportation released 2012 data that showed only 30.7 percent of U．S．teens got their license at age 16，Twenty years before，that number was almost 45 percent．
There are numbers of reasons for the fall-off．The growing responsibilites like paying for insurance and high gas prices discourage teens from getting behind the wheel．Plus，many teens today are so busy with homework，endless hours of activities and part-time jobs，that finding the time for Driver's Ed classes may be more difficult that ever．
In addition，many states have raised the driving age，or restricted when teens can drive and who they can have in the car．Parents may also be making their own personal restrictions until they feel their teens are responsible enough to drive safely．
Driving is part of the American culture，but it's not the central focus like it was 25 years ago．They have so many other things to do now．One of the more interesting fators delaying teens driving might be the change of their social life．Today，teens need to look no further than Facebook or other social networking sites to connect with their friends．There is simply less need，maybe less desire，to be able to grab the keys and go．
Michelle Wei got her license as a senior in high school because her digital social life made it easy not to drive．"If I couldn't get a ride to see my friend who live a town over，"the 19-year-old said，"I could talk on IM or Skype．"
Research has shown that these online relationships can lead to higher quality friendships，so it isn's necessarily a bad thing．However，it's important to find a balance．If old face-to-face friendships are good，why not drive top find them？
71．We can infer from the first paragraph thatC．
A．Driver's Ed classes allowed teens to know what maturity was
B．getting a driving license at 16 was a must for American teens
C．16 was considered an age when one could get his driver's license
D．teens could drive on the road without taking Driver's Ed classes
72．What does the passage mainly talk about？A
A．Derire to drive on the road declines among American teens．
B．Getting a license costs much more than ever before．
C．Social networking sites are changing the life of Amiercan teens．
D．American teens are becoming more responsible than ever．
73．Which is NOT a facot delaying American teens getting their driving licenses？D
A．The cost of insurance and gas．
B．Too many school courses and activities．
C．Restrictions from families and states．
D．pursuit of more freedom and independence．
74．Micheels Wei's example is used to explainC．
A．why American teens are crazy about digital social life
B．what social networking websites are bringing to American teens
C．to what degree the Internet is affecting the American car culture
D．what the Internet does to help teens to get a driving license
75．The last paragraph is reminding the readers thatB．
A．the Internet h as a bad effect on the teen's social life
B．teens should keep a balance in choosing their lifestyle
C．a(chǎn)ctual contacts can be replaced by talking on line
D．face-to-face friendship is always the best choice．

20．"There is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they are 18，and the truth is far from that，"says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin．Today，unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents．
Analysts raised a variety of reasons for this return to the nest．One important reason is that the marriage age is rising，a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people，which is second to skyrocketing housing costs to which young people find their wings attached．Besides，a high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters．For some，the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools．
Living at home，says Knighton，a school teacher，continues to give her security and moral support．Her mother agreed，"It is ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent．It makes sense for kids to stay at home．"But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all．There are the quarrels over bathrooms，telephones and privacy．Some families，however，manage the delicate balancing act．But for others，it proves too difficult．Michelle Del Turco，24，has been home three times-and left three times．"What I considered a social drink，my dad considered an alcohol problem，"she explains．"He never liked anyone I dated，so I either had to hide away to meet them at friends'houses．"
It is really hard to say how long adult children should live with their parents before moving on．Nevertheless，it is commonly recognized that lengthy homecomings are a mistake and they accidentally destroy the advantage of brief visits that will strengthen the relationship between parents and children．Children，struggling to establish separate identities，can end up with"a sense of inadequacy，defeat and failure．"And aging parents，who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom，find themselves stuck with responsibilities，which is definitely a stress for them．
（Note Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）

78．What's the most important reason for young adults'returning to the nest？skyrocketing housing costs．
79．Knighton enjoys living at home due toa sense of security and moral support．
80．What has resulted in the Michelle Del Turco's unhappy experience with her dad？They failed to manage the delicate balancing act．
81．From the passage，we can conclude it isbrief visits that benefit（s） both adult children and their parents to avoid lengthy homecomings．

7．Family Values
    To understand a nation，you should first get to know its minimum unit-family．（36 ）B
In the US，upon reaching an appropriate age，children are encouraged，but not forced，to"leave the nest"and begin an independent life．（37）DParents do not arrange marriages for their children，nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married．Young adults meet their future spouses（配偶）through other friends，at jobs，and in organizations and religious institutions．Although children choose their own spouses，they still hope their parents will approve of their choices．
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families．A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job．（38）FA son may deliberately decide not to go into his father's business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father's workplace．This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other．Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family．
（39）AIt is not like we Chinese．Parents are rulers and masters．We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect．In America，children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents，like family financial situation，the relationship between mother and father，and even sex．
（40）ETherefore，it is contrary that，on one hand，Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family，but on the other hand，Americans thing highly of family in their value system．

A．In the American family，children and parents are equal．
B．It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation．
C．When it comes to big problems，children do not have to always follow their parents'ways．
D．After children leave home，they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family．
E．Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality，they don't believe in making sacrifice．
F．Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence．
G．Many of them are expected to leave what could be life's most important decision-marriage almost entirely up to luck．

4．Today is National Bike-to-Work Day．And on New York City's jammed streets，people are cycling on hundreds of miles of new bike lanes．But New York's widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars．
When the weather is good，Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal（用踏板踩）his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle．Naparstek supports the new lane．
Aaron：The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it's possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around．This is what 21st century New York City looks like．
Prospect Park West is still a one-way road，but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic，now it has two，plus a protected bike lane．Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone，including pedestrians，by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk．But some longtime residents disagree．Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety．She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic．
Lois：We wanted a lane-the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe，that would keep the bikers safe．But we want it to be done the right way．And it has not been done the right way．
Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan．I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own．
Craig：I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in．You took what used to be a full street and you're shrinking it．
Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg，Brooklyn，who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood．But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%．Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that  a mandate．
Caroline：If this was an election，we would have already had our victory．The public has spoken and they keep speaking．And I think，more importantly，the public is starting to vote with their pedals．

72．What does Aaron mean by saying"This is what 21st century New York City looks like．"？C
A．There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21st century New York City．

C．Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21st century New York City．
D．It's possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York．

5．It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas．While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone．
The bike，a black Kona 18speed，was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，and then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity．And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we，too，can share with others．No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．

56．Why was the bike so important to the couple？C
A．The man's job was bike racing．
B．It was their only possession．
C．They used it for work and daily life．
D．It was a nice Kona 18speed．
57．We can infer from the text thatD．
A．the couple worked 60hours a week．
B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bike
D．life was hard for the young family．
58．How did people get to know the couple's problem？B
A．From radio broadcasts．    B．From a newspaper．
C．From TV news．             D．From a stranger．
59．What do the couple learn from their experience？D
A．Strangers are usually of little help．
B．One should take care of their bike．
C．News reports make people famous．
D．An act of kindness can mean a lot．
