    A caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing(滥用)drugs and alcohol，researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.
    “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.”said Dr.McArdle of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study.“They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”   
    The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised(监护)after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.
    “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits.
    The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing ,the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent．More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs．
    Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility.
    63.The phrase“maternal bond”appears twice in this passage. Guess its meaning.
    A.物质的奖励       B.母亲的约束     C.法律的制裁    D.学校的指导
    64. According to McArdle, which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem?
    A. 16-year-old Tom from a happy big family.
    B.17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother.
    C. 18-year-old Juliet living with her single father.
    D.19-year-old Mark cared by his parents.
    65. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A. Teenagers with both parents won’t have the drug use problem.
    B. Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire.
    C. Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents.
    D. Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse.
    66. The last paragraph suggests that________________.
    A. schools should answer for the drug problem
    B. television and media are to blame
    C. parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem
    D. mothers are the cause of youth drug use

    A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling his nose with the smell of the victuals．The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase the taste of the food．At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals (food and drink), he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner．The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the first person who should pass, whether it was not an unreasonable and unjust demand．
    The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment．He said to the sweeper: “As you have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (smell) of this man’s meat, it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale (amuse) one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite．How much money have you?”
    “I have but two pence in all the world, sir, and I must buy me some bread．”
    “Never mind,” answered the officer, “take your two pence between your hands; now rattle (cause to make a lot of quick little noises)them loudly．”
    The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, “Now, sir, I think he has paid you: the smell of your victuals regaled his nostrils(openings at the end of the nose); the sound of his money has tickled your ears．”
    This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could obtain．
    66．The sweeper stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, because _______ .
    A．he wanted to regale his nose with the smell of the victuals
    B．he was hungry and he wanted to have dinner
    C．he was hungry but he had no enough money to buy a meal
    D．he wanted to smell if the food was delicious．
    67．The cook’s demand that the sweeper should pay half the price of a dinner was 
    obviously _______ .
    A．reasonable     B．not fair  C．logical   D．proper
    68．We infer that the way that the policeman settled the problem was _______ .
    A．foolish        B．kind      C．clever    D．stupid
    69．The passage implied that _______ .
    A．it’s a pity that the cook did not get what he wanted
    B．the master of the shop and the cook were cool-hearted
    C．the cook was cruel
    D．the sweeper got what he wanted
    70. Which is true according to the passage?
    A. This story is arranged in order of time.
    B. This story is arranged in order of place.
    C. There were four people in the scene.

    （D）
    Read a whole book in English? Me?
    Yes, you. Believe it or not, that may be easier than you think. Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So you’re not limited to the simplified versions. And the easier books are not all for children.
    Books in their original versions may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment（成就）. The key is to find the right books. Let’s take a look at these.
    The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)
    Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures. The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.
    The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)
    Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish . . .
    Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.
    A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)
    Meg’s father, a U.S. government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.
    Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter（遇到） on their journey through time and space. Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too late?
    This novel is more than just a science fiction adventure. It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.
    The Pearl (John Steinbeck)
    One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. "No," says Kino. "I will have my chance. I am a man." But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.
    The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
    It’s winter, 1880—1881, on America’s northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.
    This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.

    Modern Manners
    Philip Howard answers your questions on contemporary etiquette (礼仪)
    Philip Howard,
    When my friend and I (two ladies of a certain age) go out to have a meal, she always leaves an extremely large tip. At times, the tip will equal the amount of one of the main dishes—sometimes it comes to about 30 per cent of the bill. I feel 15—20 per cent is adequate for services offered and depending on the type of restaurant. At a cafe I would like to leave 15 per cent or a bit more depending on the service and etc. A larger tip would be appropriate if we are in a big city or a nicer place. My friend says “Well, I am sure they are not driving a Mercedes (奔驰汽车).” Well, neither am I, and how does she know? Who is correct and how can I make changes? I might add I do truly feel tipping should be based on good service, and also if you frequent a place and know the staff a larger tip is OK. I would never hesitate to tip a waitperson. I always leave to the higher side.  
    Yours,
    Barbara Bade
    Barbara Bade,
    Americans are more generous tippers than the British. I suspect that 10 per cent for a tip is about normal in the UK. Tipping is a strange survival in our age of supposed equality and minimum wages. Your friend has a generous nature and deep purse. I do not see why you cannot let her tip whatever she wants, and do your own thing. I agree that a tip should be a reward for good service and general good feeling. If the service is rotten and the meal a disaster, we should withhold a tip and explain why we are doing so. Few of us have the chutzpah (厚颜) to do this. Sensible restaurants have a box for tips, so that they are shared out among the staff, including those in the kitchens whom we do not see. (I trust that the management does not receive the money as extra profit.) I look forward to the day when waiters and other servants are paid a good enough living wage, so that they do not have to depend on the generosity of strangers to survive. To wait at table is just as honorable a way to earn a living in this wicked world. If you are pleased with the meal and cheerful service, you should tip as handsomely as your purse affords. I don’t suppose that your waiter / waitress is driving a Mercedes, even in the States. 
    Yours,
    Philip Howard
    60. We can learn from the first letter that Barbara prefers ___________.
    A. changing her own ideas on how to tip waiters
    B. leaving a bigger tip to the familiar waitpersons
    C. eating at a café rather than in a nice restaurant
    D. saving as much money as possible for herself
    61. It can be inferred that Barbara’s friend tips waiters heavily ________.
    A. to show that she is well off                              B. because they are thought to be poorly paid
    C. to show that she is generous                          D. because they have offered her full service
    62. Besides quality of service, Philip regards __________ as principles of tipping.
    A. taste of food and amount of one’s money
    B. taste of food and the number of servants
    C. generosity of strangers and the number of servants
    D. amount of one’s money and generosity of strangers

    There was once a beautiful nymph called Echo. But Echo had one failing; she was fond of talking, and whether in chat or argument, would have the last word. As she was good company , she and Zeus became good friends. However，Zeus’ wife, Hera, became jealous. She followed Zeus to the earth to find out what he was doing and Zeus asked Echo to distract Hera until he could escape. Later when Hera discovered she had been tricked, she became very angry. She turned on Echo and said, “You shall lose the use of your tongue because you cheated me. You’ll have the last word, bur no longer have the power to speak first.” So from that moment on, Beautiful Echo was hardly able to hold a conversation because she could only repeat the last words of those around her. She became very embarrassed and hid herself deep in the woods.
    One day a handsome young man called Narcissus came into the woods. He had been hunting deer and lost his way. However, the moment Echo saw him, she fell in love with him. She followed him, wishing to tell him but unable o begin a conversation. Oh, how she wished she could speak first. Unfortunately, Narcissus was far too busy worrying about where his companions might be and how he could find his way home.
    Eventually Narcissus, with Echo following behind along, came to a pool of water in the middle of the woods. Feeling thirsty, Narcissus bent down to drink. As he did so, he saw a beautiful creature in the water staring up at him. . He immediately bent over and said to him, “I love you!” Echo, nearby, and seeing her chance, immediately responded “…. I love you!” But it was too late. Narcissus was already in love, with himself.
    `      The stranger seemed to rise up closer to Narcissus who was so involved that he entirely failed to notice Echo. “I want to stay and look at this beautiful sight forever,” he whispered dreamily to himself.”… Forever,” repeated Echo sadly. “Come her,” called Narcissus to his reflection as he moved his head and the creature seemed to move away. “…Here.” responded Echo. Narcissus bent back down to see his reflection more clearly. “So beautiful! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful!” “….So beautiful!” responded Echo truthfully.
    Narcissus remained by the water refusing all Echo’s silent offers of food and drink until he died. Where he had been, a flower grew in his place, as beautiful as Narcissus himself. As for Echo, from that time forward, she also didn’t eat or drink till she turned to rocks and all that was left was her voice. Even now you can still hear Echo trying to attract Narcissus’ attention by repeating his words and still see Narcissus as a beautiful flower growing near a pool.
    63. Why was Echo unable to  let Narcissus know she loved him?
    A. Because she had lost the ability to speak.        B. Because she was too shy to speak first.
    C. Because Hera had taken away her ability to speak first.
    D.  Because Narcissus took no notice of her.
    64. “The stranger” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
    A. Echo         B. A fairy in the woods.        C. Hera.         D. Narcissus himself.
    65. Which of the following kinds of person can be described as a “Narcissus”?
    A. A person who loves and admires himself or herself.
    B. A person who’s afraid of being separated from companions.
    C. A person who is too shy to have a chat with other people.
    D. A person who loves to admire beautiful water flowers.
    66. Which of the following is the correct order of the events?
    a) Hera wouldn’t let Echo start a conversation.
    b) Narcissus fell in love with his reflection in the water.
    c) Echo saw Narcissus and fell in love at the first sight.
    d) Echo distracted Hera to help Zeus escape.
    e) Narcissus became a flower and Echo a rock.
    A. a-b-c-d-e           B. d-a-c-b-e           C. d-a-b-c-e           D. c-d-a-b-e
    67. What’s the best title of this passage?
    A. Echo’s sacrifice.                                   B. Echo and Hera.
    C. Echo and Narcissus.                       D. Narcissus’s self-love.

    A
    It was close to dusk．We came to a large，bowl-shaped nest in which we saw the gray head of a very small sea turtle popping out about half an inch out of the sand．Then we heard a rustling in the bushes behind us．A flesh-eating bird came near．
    Our young guide wanted us to be quiet and watch the bird moving towards the young turtle’s
    head．
    The bird got closer and closer to the opening and began pecking at the young turtle’s head, trying to pull it out of the sands．
    The young life was in danger．We were worried about it．One of us asked the guide，“Aren’t
    you going to do something?”
    He put his finger to his lips and said，“This is the way nature works．”
    But we didn’t agree with him and spoke with one voice asking him to do something．So he had to go and pull the young turtle out of his hole and put it on its way towards the sea．
    What happened next，however，caught everyone by surprise Soon after the young turtle was set free，lots of baby turtles—having received a wrong signal that it was safe—went out of the nest and began moving towards the sea．
    Our foolishness became clear．Not only had the baby turtles come out under the mistaken impression that it was safe to do so，but their mad dash was taking place too early．The still-clear
    light of dusk allowed no hiding from meat—eating birds．Within a short period of time，dozens of
    baby turtles had been eaten by those birds．Our young guide quickly took a baseball cap and filled it with baby turtles．Walking into the water．he set them free．Then he wildly waved his hat to frighten off those birds．
    When it was over，the joyful cries of dozens of well—fed birds rifled the air．Two of the birds stood silently on the beach hoping to catch a final，struggling baby turtle．All that could be heard was the sound of the waves beating against the sands．
    Heads down，we walked slowly along the beach in the dusk．
    56．At first, the guide would not help the young turtle out of the nest because____．
    A．he wouldn’t mind others’business
    B．he thought the young turtle liked to dash into the sea
    C．he wanted the young turtles to take their own course
    D．he thought the young turtle should have come out earlier
    57．In fact，the first baby turtle worked as_______．
    A．a clever spy to attract the birds outside B．one to get information outside the nest
    C．a leader to come out first                        D．a brave guard to fight against the birds
    58．From the last sentence of the passage, we know that _______．
    A．they were sad because the young turtles were foolish
    B．they felt very tired with the still—clear light shining
    C．they came to know that their rush to help did more harm than good
    D．they regretted not killing the meat—eating birds
    59．According to the passage，which of the following statements may be true?
    A．The young turtles were doomed (注定) to be eaten by those birds．
    B．All the young turtles are eaten by dozens of birds．
    C．The young turtles shouldn’t come out of their nest before it was dark．
    D．The young turtles gathered to frighten off the birds．

    第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    A
    Michael Phelps and his U.S. teammates crowned the greatest single Olympic performance Sunday morning with a win in the 4×100－meter medley relay(混合泳接力).
    The victory gave Phelps his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, the most golds ever won by an athlete at one Games. With gold No. 8, Phelps earned an unusual place in the Olympic record books.
    "There is no comparison in the swimming world for what Michael has done," said Gregg Troy, coach of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, who finished third to Phelps in two races here in Beijing but also won gold alongside him in the 4×200－meter freestyle relay. It's hard to find comparisons even in the sports world overall. Phelps is solidly in the company of seemingly undefeatable superstars such as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
    "I think years and years down the road we'll realize more and more how amazing he is and how special he really is." U. S. teammate Natalie Coughlin said. The 23－year－old from Baltimore capped a brilliant meet at the Water Cube. He set a world record in every event aside from the 100 butterfly which he narrowly won on Saturday, completing a program of 17 races in nine days.
    Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals and 16 total medals. He holds the record for most medals won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972－1980. Soviet female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with 18.
    At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he'll swim in the 2012 London Games. Phelps' victories in Beijing include: 200－meter freestyle, 200 and 400 individual medleys, 100 and 200 butterfly, 4×200 free relay, 4×100 medley relay, and 4×100 free relay.
    41．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A．Phelps Plans To Attend 2012 London Games
    B．Phelps Wins 4×100－meter Medley Relay
    C．Phelps Writes Games Gold History
    D．Phelps Finishes His Competitions
    42．Why are Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?
    A．To memorize the two heroes' contributions to the world.
    B．To indicate Phelps' great efforts to his championship.
    C．To attract the world's attention to the young Phelps.
    D．To emphasize Phelps' unique position in swimming.
    43．Which of the following is true of Phelps?
    A．Phelps has got the most gold medals in Beijing Olympic.
    B．Phelps has won 18 Olympic gold medals till now.
    C．Phelps won 8 gold medals at the Athens Games.
    D．Phelps defeated Nikolai Andrianov in Beijing.
    44．It can be inferred from the text that __________.
    A．Phelps is a swimming genius by nature
    B．Phelps succeeded in Athens at the age of 18
    C．Phelps has won the most golds all by himself
    D．Phelps will have a brilliant future in the 2012 London Games

    (A)
    Margie Bland remembers the phone call from Iraq sometime before Christmas. Her son, Army specialist Joseph Darby , a military police officer in the reserves(not full – time soldiers), was on the phone and she could tell something was wrong.
    Darby , 24 , would later come out as the soldier who first alerted the world to the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US guards at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad on January 13. “I could tell in his voice he was not sleeping.” Blank , 45, recalls. “He said ‘I don’t fell good.’” Darby was feeling bad about something he thought was very wrong. “It was really hard on him”, his mother said. “He didn’t want to go against his troops, but he said he could not stand the cruelty he had discovered . He said he kept thinking , ‘What if that was my mum, my brother or my brother or my wife?’” Darby slipped an anonymous note under a military investigator’s door in January, about the mistreatment of prisoners. He later turned in a CD-ROM with 1,000 photos documenting the cruelty, according to a recently disclosed internal Army report. “I told him, ‘Your picture is in the paper, ’” Blank said. “I said, ‘Honey , you did a good thing and good always triumphs over evil ’ And he said, ‘You’re right, mum.’”
