Fifteen percent of US teenagers aged 12 to 17 who own mobile phones have received nude(裸体)or nearly nude images of someone they know, according to a survey released on Tuesday.
Only four percent of mobile phone-owning   1 in that age group have sent sexually suggestive pictures of themselves, a practice known as "sexting,"   2 the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project.
The Pew survey found that girls and boys were equally as likely to have sent a suggestive picture to   3 person and 4  teenagers were more likely to have engaged in "sexting."
Eight percent of 17-year-olds with mobile phones have sent a sexually provocative(刺激的) image  5  texting and 30 percent have 6   a nude or nearly nude image on their phone.
Only four percent of 12-year-olds have sent suggestive images of   7 .
Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist at Pew and the author of the report, said sexually suggestive images have become a   8  of "relationship currency" for teens.
"These images are    9  as a part of or instead of sexual activity, or as a way of starting or  10  a relationship with a significant other," she said. "And they are also passed 11  to friends for their entertainment value, as a joke or for   12 ."
"The desire for risk-taking and sexual exploration during the teenage years  13  with a constant connection via mobile devices creates a 'perfect storm' for sexting," said Lenhart.
"Teenagers have always grappled with issues around sex and   14  , but their coming-of-age mistakes transgressions have never been so easily   15  and stored for others to see," she added.
The survey found that teens with unlimited text messaging plans were more likely to receive "sexts"   16  images of people they know. About 75 percent of mobile phone owning teens have unlimited plans.
Among this group, Pew said 18 percent reporting receiving "sexts"    17   with eight percent of teens on    18  data plans and three percent of teens who pay per message.
According to Pew, 58 percent of 12-year-olds own a mobile phone and 83 percent teens aged 17   19   .
Pew noted that a number of US states are grappling with how to 20  "sexting" among minors and some legislatures(立法机关) have stepped in to consider laws that would downgrade charges from felonies(重罪) to misdemeanors(轻罪).
Pew conducted telephone interviews with 800 teens aged 12 to 17 and their parents between June 26 and September 24.

本文使用一些有力的数据通过一项调查介绍了一种现在青少年之间互相发送性短信的社会现象。完成此次完形填空时,注重行文逻辑和青少年的心理活动特征是顺利成功的关键。
1. A 考查逻辑思维能力。第一段里的那项调查说的非常明确,调查的对象就是12到17岁的青少年。故选择A项。
2. D 这一段是the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project的一个调查结果,当然是“根据”这个调查得出:4%的这个年龄群的拥有手机的青少年曾经发送过有关自己的带有性暗示的图片。故用D项。
3. B 考查介词的含义和用法。短信当然是发给“另外”的一个人的。也就是another。Other后往往接一个名词的复数;others是个代词,其后不可能再有名词。The other指的是:两者中的另外一个。意思上ACD三项都不合适。
4. C 考查形容的含义词和逻辑关系。语境是:这项调查发现,男孩和女孩都有可能发送一些带有暗示性的图片给另外的人,而年龄较大的则更可能忙于发性短信。这要把握青少年的心理特点,一般来说年龄大的,胆子更大些。故用C项。
5. A 此题看似考查的是介词的含义和用法,实质上是考查text的用法。学生们往往只知道text是名词,意思是:文本,课文。而它在这儿根据上下文的意思和一般的常识可知是:发短信。故选A项,表示通过这种方式,相当于:by means of……。
6. B 此题的最具有迷惑性的是D项,然而我们知道,mail是邮寄的意思,合理的用法应该是:mail…to…,然而文中没有这样的字眼。根据常识,有发短信,就有接短信。再者,这里的“接”不是“接受”,而是“接到”。故用B项。
7. B 考查反身代词。因主语是4%的12岁的青少年,是复数,故这儿使用themselves。
8. D 考查近义词的名词词义的辨析及语义之间的逻辑关系。这句的语境是:对于青少年来说,发送带有性暗示的图片已经变成了一种沟通关系的“型式”(form),而不是“习惯”(habit),更不是“系统”(system)和“方法”(method)。最容易让人上当的A项和D项,然而根据我知道的常识,habit往往表示:个人的生活习惯;method则表示:有一定的理论基础的一整套的方法。故用D项。
9. A 检测的是动词词义的准确记忆与识别。既然是青少年之间相互发的图片,当然就是彼此“分享”(share)了。别的三项语意上都不符合逻辑。
10.C 同上一题一样,此题除了检测的是动词词义的准确记忆与识别外,还有词形及用法的考查。A项remain是系动词,其后常接形容词;而BD项的词义都是“得到”的意思。故选择C项
11.A 考查的是动词短语的词义和用法。由上一题的分析我们得知此空填上具有“传递”、“传送”之意的动词的被动形式,然而这四个动词短语只有pass along有这样的意思。具有迷惑性的是B项,但它表示“经过”、“路过”的意思。
12.B 考查名词近义词词义的辨析。由第10题的分析我们知道此空需填上和joke意思相近的名词,而这四项里AD两项同义,都是“高兴”之意;C项的意思是“兴奋、激动”;只有B项表示“玩乐”、“好玩”之意。故B项正确。
13.C 此题考查动词的词义及用法。语境是:伦哈特说:“青少年时期有冒险和性探索的欲望,加上移动设备可以保持实时联系,这些条件创造了互发性短信的‘完美风暴’。”分析句子结构我们得知said的宾语从句的主语是the desire,谓语动词是creates,宾语是storm,而      with a constant connection via mobile devices根据语境只能是定语,又因为此四词中只有combine表示“把….和….结合起来”之意,与语境中的“加上”意思相符,combine的逻辑主语是句子的主语the desire,他们之间是被动关系,所以我们用动词的过去分词作后置定语,相当于定语从句:which is combined with constant connection via mobile devices.故选择C项。
14.D 考查上下文之间的逻辑思路的理清能力。语境是:青少年总在有关性和情感关系的问题上挣扎,但他们青少年时期所犯的错误和越轨行为从未像现在这样如此容易地被传播并被保存下来供别人‘分享’。在第六段里就提到青少年发性短信已经变成了关系疏通的一种方式。至四个词只有D项的意思是“关系”。故我们选择D项。
15.A 考查动词词义的准确记忆。由上一题得知,此空应该填上表示“传播”之意的动词。B项的意思:转变;form的意思是:形成;switch的意思是:转换。故A项正确。
16.A 考查的是动词近义词的辨析。根据语境:调查发现,那些订制无限量短信套餐计划的青少年更容易收到含有他们所认识的人的图片的性短信。约75%拥有手机的青少年订制了无限短信套餐计划,我们分析此处应是表示包含之意的动词的现在分词。A. containing:包含,含有(元素);B. concluding:得出结论;C. including:包括(整体);D. concerning:关于,牵涉到。故A为正确答案。
17.B 考查非谓语动词的用法。根据语境:18%的人称自己曾收到性短信,而在订制限量短信套餐计划的青少年中,这一比例仅有8%,在每条短信单独付费的青少年中,只有3%,我们发现此处需填上表示“比较起来”,也就是compared with。主要是因为compare的逻辑主语是18 percent,它们之间是被动关系,需用过去分词。故选择B项
18.A 也是考查非谓语动词的。由上一题的分析我们知道,此空的应该填上表示“受限制的”之意的词,也就是表示被动关系的过去分词limited,他的逻辑主语是data,它们之间也是被动关系。故选择A项。
19.C 考查动词的省略替代。语境是:根据皮尤调查中心的数据,12岁的青少年中有58%的人有手机,而在17岁的青少年中,这一比例为83%。意思是说此处填上表示83%的17岁的青少年和58%的12岁的青少年一样拥有手机。此四个词中能代表这个意思的只有do。故选择C项。
20.B 考查动词短语。语境是:皮尤调查中心指出,美国很多州都在试图解决未成年人发送性短信的问题,一些立法机构也介入其中,表示将考虑修改法律,把对这一行为的指控从重罪降为轻罪。此空填上表示“解决”,do with也是解决的意思,但是它跟what搭配;deal with刚好与how搭配。故选择B项。

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad, for it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.
Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.
Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
小题1:The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those who ______.
A.are against competition most strongly.B.are fond of competition very much.
C.are satisfied with competition.D.are interested in competition
小题2:According to the passage, why do some people support competition?
A.Because they think friendly relationship needs it.
B.Because they think social progress and prosperity need it.
C.Because they think it can make us become cleverer.
D.Because they think it can deal with many personal problems.
小题3:We can learn from the passage that __________.
A.all the people have the same opinion about competition
B.Failure can make most people feel down
C.Both the true competitors and those with a desire to fail believe one’s worth lies in his performance compared with others
D.Competition can make every competitor successful
小题4:The passage manly talks about different opinions about ________.
A.competitionB.successC.failureD.friendship

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.  
Grirmsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层)of water between the glacier and the volcano This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable, As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava(岩浆) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.  
Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM. one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.

Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of  time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer (学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes (构成)“overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law — as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
小题1:By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that_____ .
A.work time is equal to rest time
B.many people have a day off on Monday
C.it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D.the line between work time and rest time is unclear
小题2:The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people
A.fail to make full use of their timeB.enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C.are unaware of the law of timeD.welcome flexible working hours
小题3:According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they ______.
A.need to acquire knowledgeB.have to obey their parents
C.need to find companionsD.have to observe the law
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Our life is governed by the law of time.
B.How to organize time is not worth debating.
C.New ways of using time change our society.
D.Our time schedule is decided by social customs.

Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge(剧增)of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse(反面)of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to putting off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.
The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability.
Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.
Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.

B
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello!” or “Hi!”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong …” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure …”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, “Someone is at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s also a part of the game of language.
