6.All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life,but any parent can tell you that it's hard to let go of your children.That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking.Years of experience means that parents often do know best,but on the other hand,the young,being less bound by tradition,are often more creative,more able to find new solutions to old problems.Revolutions are led by the young.
Good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students,only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers'basic beliefs.Schools encourage parents to become involved,but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used.Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process.And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government.The rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development.They are not necessarily representatives of those   they want to represent or not realistic in their demands,but their voices must be heard.
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities.Indeed,sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting,just because it is not accepted by authority.Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts,know as much as possible about the lives of their children,provide a good example,encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don't follow what is expected of them.But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.

61、By saying"Revolutions are led by the young",the author indicates that young people are moreA.
A.creative         B.realistic        C.conventional      D.heartbreaking
62、From the second paragraph we knowD.
A.teachers'basic beliefs should be questioned by students
B.schools encourage parents to question their education methods
C.the government is satisfied with the new leaders'attack on the policies
D.the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government
63、In order to educate children well,parents shouldB.
A.forbid particular behaviors in their daily life
B.know them well and set a good example to them
C.educate them with facts and expect much of them
D.know as much as possible as their children
64、From the passage we can learn that the author prefersC.
A.free parenting    B.traditional parenting
C.smart parenting   D.critical parenting
65、What is the best title of the passage?A
A.Letting Go-for Children's Independent Life
B.Parents'Tasks-in Children's Development
C.Way of Growth-for the Young Groups
D.Teaching Methods-for Teachers and Schools.

7.Your smart-phone(智能手機(jī)) can do a lot of things.It can call people.It connects to the Internet.It enables you to play fun games.But there is a dark side to this smart little device of yours-it might also spread disease.
"People are just as likely to get sick from their phones as from handles of the bathroom,"Jeffery Cain,the president of the American Academy of Family Physicians,told The Wall Street Journal.
This may be hard to believe,but scientists reached this conclusion after they tested eight random cell phones from an office in Chicago.All the tested phones showed high numbers of coli forms(大腸菌),a kind of bacteria found in excrement(糞便),with about 2,700 to 4,200 units of the bacteria on each phone.In drinking water,the healthy limit is less than 1 unit per 100 ml of water.This bacteria can cause flu,pinkeye(紅眼病) and diarrhea(腹瀉).That's right-your phone is covered with excrement!
Although computers,keys and pens all carry bacteria,our smart-phones get far dirtier.They touch a lot of stuff,including our pocket or purse.We take them almost everywhere:the bus,the subway and who hasn't played Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja while sitting on the toilet?
"Some things that we think are personal are actually more public than we imagine,"Cain said.
What's even worse is that after the phone returns from its dirty trip,it then spends most of its time covering our faces.Our noses,mouths and ears are all warm and rich in grease(油脂),an environment that bacteria really like.
Compared to traditional keypads,touch screens spread bacteria more easily to hands.According to Time magazine's website,an expert in Australia warned that playing with iPads and iPhones at Apple stores is a health risk.
 
26.The underlined word"dark"in the first paragraph meansD.
A.black        B.hopeless         C.unclear          D.unpleasant
27.Which of the following best describes the tone of the third paragraph?C
A.Angry.B.Interested.C.Concerned.D.Delighted.
28.By saying"Some things we think are personal are actually more public than we imagine"in Paragraph 5,Cain meant thatC.
A.people love to share their smart-phones more than they realize
B.our personal items could be as risky to our health as public items
C.smart-phones are used in public places more than people realize
D.most people don't know how dirty their cell phones are
29.Compared with traditional keypads,smart-phonesB
A.a(chǎn)re greasier and need more alcohol to clean
B.make contact with our hands more often
C.get warm more easily and are harder to clean
D.get much nearer to our faces
30.What is the article mainly about?B
A.Tips on the use of smart-phones.
B.Health problems caused by the use of smart-phones.
C.The danger of coli forms infection.
D.The influence that smart-phones have on our life.

4.Learning the language of a country isn't enough.If you want to ensure a pleasant visit,find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts.
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.If you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia,some friends ask you to eat with them.What kind of manners do they want you to have?They want you to give a loud"burp"(打嗝) after you finish eating.Burping would show that you liked your food.But in some other countries,if you give a loud burp,you are told to say"Excuse me,please."
In many places,people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together.People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.
You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself.Also in India,you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree.But in most parts of India,a shake of the head is a gesture that expresses agreement or acceptance.Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country Bulgaria,you shake your head to mean"yes"-a nod means"no".
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone,even at an important meeting.Doing this when you are meeting an important person in Thailand,however,could cause offence.It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion.Also try to avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done in Thailand.
Attitudes to women vary much around the world.In Japan,for example,it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling,but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality(禮節(jié)).
51.In Mongolia,if you give a loud burp after eating,your friends will be veryC.
A.surprised             B.sorry            C.happy               D.upset

53.From the passage,we know that shaking head means"yes"inD.
A.Thailand          B.Mongolia        C.Japan            D.Bulgaria
54.The underlined sentence"Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty."MeansA.
A.you are probably not to be served a drink when you nod your head
B.you're possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head
C.it's probable that you are thirsty if you nod your head
D.you'd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head

11.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.That saying holds true not only for you and me,but also for some of the most powerful and influential people in the world,such as the presidents of the United States.
But how do American presidents spend their vacation time?Let's take a look!
Franklin D.Roosevelt,considered one of the greatest presidents in American history,had limited vacation options because of his polio(小兒麻痹癥).He began visiting Warm Springs,Georgia in 1924 for its curative waters and later built a 2,000 acre polio treatment center nearby.He liked to cruise the Potomacon his yacht(游艇) and three times as president returned to his beloved Canadian island of Campobello,with which he fell in love as a kid.
Former President Bill Clinton,however,was never much good at vacationing.His staff had to practically force him to go on vacation his first year in office; his idea of relaxing was reading four good books simultaneously(同時) while enjoying a cigar (chewed,not smoked).He could also lose himself in a game of golf,where his somewhat flexible interpretation of the rules could at times drive his partners crazy.
Obama's predecessor(前任) also knows how to relax.Fishing is in the Bush family DNA:for blue sharks off the coast of Maine or anything with fins,almost anywhere else.George W.Bush also relaxed as president by jogging and clearing brush on his Texas ranch.Since leaving office,he has become an active mountain biker and,more recently,has taken up painting.
Obama tends to take a winter break in Hawaii,where he was born and raised,and a summer vacation in Martha's Vineyard,off the southern coast of Cape Cod,Massachusetts.In between,he plays basketball every couple of weeks and has been known to do some skeet shooting at Camp David.Obama's favorite pastime,no matter the location,has become easy to spot:golf.
71.What's the passage mainly about?A
A.US presidents on holiday
B.Relationship between work and play.
C.Famous US presidents
D.Suggestions on spending holidays.
72.What's the main reason for Franklin choose to spend his holidays in the spring or on his yacht?B

73.What's special when Bill Clinton was playing golf?C
A.He could often be the top player
B.He could often be the bottom player.
C.He did not often respect the rules
D.He usually showed good team spirit.

A.the Bush family were mostly fishermen.

C.father of George W.Bush likes to work on farm.
D.father of George W.Bush also loves fishing.
