    Parents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives．However, doesn't it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions—we even rebel against them．
    Why? It may be the so-called "generation gap"．A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents
    are ignoring us, don't understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them．
    The key reason is our desire for independence．In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions．But parents resist this．They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do．Debate and discussion often come to nothing．Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside．
    Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school．"She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world," Zhang said．"Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, 'How was your last exam? or 'Have you made any progress in physics?" To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily．"Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her．After, she comes to apologize and comfort me．But I know, she doesn't completely understand me," Zhang said．Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence．
    The generation gap can be harmful．Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about．There are quarrels, even over trivial things．When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies．Some of us even become afraid to go home after school— a very serious situation for the whole family．
    小题1:Which of the following is not included in article?
    A．The causes of generation gap．B．The effects of generation gap．
    C．One example of generation gap．D．Ways of narrowing generation gap．
    小题2:Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?
    A．Modern society changing very fast．
    B．Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children．
    C．Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other．
    D．Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents．
    小题3:Which of the following word has the closet meaning to the underlined word "perfunctorily"?
    A．attentivelyB．indifferently
    C．flatteringlyD．seriously
    小题4:In the view of the author,____．
    A．parents should allow their children more freedom
    B．parents and children should not stay together
    C．the younger generation should value the older generation
    D．academic records are more important than one's inner world

    Perhaps the most astonishing theory to come out of kinetics，the study of body movement,was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell.He believes that physical appearance Is often culturally programmed.In other words,we learn our looks;we are not born with them.
    A baby generally unformed facial features.A baby,according to Birdwhistell,learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around family and friends．This helps explain why the people of some regions of the United States look so much lilke．New Englanders or Southerners have certain common facial characteristics that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学)．The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth,it is learned later．In fact，the final mouth shape is not formed until well after permanent(永久的)teeth are set．For many，this can be well into adolescence(青春期)．A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike．We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas．In the United States，for example，the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently．In New England they smile less，and in the western part of New York State still less．Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly，partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peach Tree Street jn Atlanta，Georgia．People in densely(稠密地)populated urban areas also tend to smile and greet each other in public less than people in rural areas and small towns．
    小题1:The passage might be taken out of a book dealing with______
    A．physicsB．healthC．chemistryD．body movement
    小题2:Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance_______．
    A．has little to do with cultureB．is decided by our parents
    C．can be infiuenced by cultureD．varies from place to place
    小题3:Ray Birdwhistell can tell what region of the United States a person is from by     .
    A．the way he or she talksB．how he or she raises his or her eyebrows
    C．what he or she likes bestD．how much he or she laughs
    小题4:According to the passage，people who live_______are more friendly.

    Britain and Ireland
    　　The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other __16  . Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is17  into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
    　　The United Kingdom is that 18  of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 19  of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The  20  of Ireland is self-governing. The 21  name of the United Kingdom is  22  “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
    　23 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest  24   of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 25 “England” and “English” when they  26  “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 27 . The Scots in particular are very  28 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard   29  as English, and have a culture and even a   30 of their own.
    　　Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish  31  ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom.  32 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still  33 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland   34  to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.
    　　The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to   35 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.

    In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation（模仿） is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
    In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
    In the field of entertainment, those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
    Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
    小题1:
    .Imitation proves useful when you        .
    A．know you are uniqueB．lose the balance of life
    C．begin to learn something newD．get tired of routine practice
    小题2:
    To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.
    A．forget daily fear and painB．choose the right example
    C．ask others for decisionsD．stay away from stars
    小题3:
    According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are          .
    A．eager to influence others with their knowledge
    B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
    C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
    D．willing to accept others’ ideas
    小题4:
    The trouble a creator faces is          .
    A．the lack of strong motivationB．the absence of practical ideas
    C．how to search for more materialsD．how to use imagination creatively
    小题5:
    The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to __________.
    A．emphasize the importance of creativity.
    B．criticize the characters of role models.
    C．compare imitation with creation.
    D．explain the meaning of success.

    Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!
    In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, entitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.
    Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.
    Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such as a poster discovered in your drawer.
    The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such as Richard Prince, may raise endless possibilities. What was the cowboy in Prince’s Untitled doing? Was he riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?
    In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.
    小题1:The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.
    A．remind readers of found photographs
    B．advise reader to start a new kind of business
    C．ask readers to find photographs behind sofa
    D．show readers the value of found photographs
    小题2:The underlined word “them” in Para 4 refers to __________.
    A．the readersB．the editors
    C．the found photographsD．the self-published magazines
    小题3:By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.
    A．memory of the past is very important to people
    B．found photographs allow people to think freely
    C．the back-story of found photographs is puzzling
    D．the real value of found photographs is questionable
    小题4:The author’s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.
    A．criticalB．doubtfulC．optimisticD．satisfied

    When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be “last weekend”. Some people go even more often. Why? For one thing, malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place : food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment，and even medical services. So, are mallsone of the highlights of modern civilization? Environmental activists would say “No!” They would go even further and say that consumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster. They cause consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl (城市杂乱无序拓展的地区）.
    Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a great deal in the last half century. Prior to 1950，most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation. Only very wealthy people had automobiles. Farmers lived in rural areas or isolated villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn’t produce themselves. If you gazed at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by countryside. Then a massive change occurred.
    Automobiles became affordable and people were quick to adopt them. Now ambitious workers could live in the suburbs, the areas just outside cities, which started to grow rapidly. As long as there was lots of cheap land in the suburbs, no one paid much attention to the usage of that land. Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and car dealerships spread out in large, flat buildings. These one - storey buildings and their parking lot took up a great deal of space. Well - meaning farmers thought they were better off selling their land than growing crops. In ignorance, no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land would be ruined forever. There was no way to preserve it.
    Only in recent years have people come to mourn the old way of life as they have developed insight into the problems of unconditional growth. Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems. The negative aspects of sprawl include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, and the death of businesses in the old town centers. Many scholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl. Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment.
    小题1:What is mainly discussed in the passage?
    A．Urban sprawl B．Weekend fun
    C．New automobiles D．Isolated villages
    小题2:Who do activists blame for environmental problems?
    A．Endangered animals. B．Unthinking shoppers.
    C．Shopping mall owners.D．Ambitious farmers.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph?.
    A．Activists B．Malls. C．Farmers. D．Scientists.
    小题4:What is the scholars’ attitude toward urban sprawl?
    A．Respectful. B．Pessimistic. C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful.

    How did it make you feel when you learned that KFC’S Beijing restaurants pulled three more items from their menus last week? There were fears that the items may have contained the cancer-causing coloring Sudan I．Do you have any desire to take the food provider to court because it feeds you something dangerous?
    After all，the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights．But some experts have said it might not be so wise to take the company directly to court．
    Qiu Baochang，a lawyer in Beijing，suggested that consumers not take the company directly to court．“In addition to the high costs，consumers’complaints are unlikely to win unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC，”—Qiu explained．
    One problem for those wanting to take action against the fast food chain is that few customers ask for or keep receipts(收据)．And，this must be the first step．
    If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC，they can cue(控告)the company．But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan I damage is a long-term effect and is not immediately apparent.
    A KFC spokesperson said on Monday that the company was confdent of being able to handle customers’complaints，“We will obey legal procedure if We raceive any complaints.”
    小题1:Why did KFC’s Beijing restaurants pull three more items from their menus?
    A．Because the company was afraid to handle customers’complaints.
    B．Because coloring Sudan I may have been contained in those items.
    C．Because the KFC’s restaurants were accused ofselling poisonous food to the customers．
    D．Because these items were no longer popular with the customers.
    小题2:The reason why experts suggested not taking the company directly to court is that      .
    A．the costs will be high
    B．consumers can’t prove food contained Sudan I
    C．consumers can’t prove the food at KFC damaged their health
    D．all of the above
    小题3:This passage most probably appears in      .
    A．a notice．
    B．a book on cooking．
    C．a story book．
    D．a newspaper．
    小题4:What is the general ieda of the passage?
    A．KFC’s Beijing restaurants pulled three items from their menus last week.
    B．How the consumers dealt with the KFC problem.
    C．How KFC handled the customers’s complaints.
    D．Consumers never forget to ask for or keep receipts.

    There is that great idea that in an information and knowledge based economy, the most important thing for companies is attracting and holding outstanding talented guys．Obviously I will not say that is not important, but in my opinion a successful and groundbreaking company cannot be built just from the collection of high talented people, as a great sports team can't be constructed only by the collection of great players．
    It is more important to build teams of people that achieve the goals according to the company's organizational vision．It is necessary to create organizations where everybody （with outstanding talent or not） can develop their best personal capabilities and that these capacities are addressed to achieve the corporate goals and mission．The company efforts must be addressed to design an organizational system that produces and uses talent from everyone in the company．
    Trying to get the best from our people through corporate team building policies, establishing a concrete corporate culture and values, making our company a place where people want to work because it is a good place to stay and develop their capacities, is the best way to compete in the knowledge economy．That will keep us out of the obligation to constantly seek for the "best players" and entering in the retribution auctions（拍卖）．
    We have to take into account that, nowadays, the real talented and creative people, like to work or engage themselves in projects where they can develop their capacities, they can be involved in the organizational goals and vision, and where they are treated with respect and dignity．Definitively, they want to be happy doing their jobs．And we have to build organizations where they can find that．
    小题1:
    ．The underlined word that in Paragraph 1 refers to ________．
    A．information and knowledgeB．the great idea
    C．the collection of talented peopleD．attracting and holding talented people

    A．constantly seek for talented people
    B．employ people with different abilities
    C．make the company a place where employees are glad to devote themselves to work
    D．make the company a place where employees can get the best pay and great respect
