At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present r

27、ebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clot

28、hes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and

29、 harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for t

30、he popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when

31、everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 56In thi

32、s passage, the author wants to tell _.Ateenagers to try to pursue their real selvesBreaders to try to be popular with people aroundCparents to try to control and guide their childrenDpeople to try to understand and respect each other57The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _.Agrowing away fro

33、m their parents Bfollowing the popularity trend Cwalking a new way on their own Dturning to their friends for help58The phrase “ larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _.Athe distractive and variable society Bthe dazzling music worldCthe parental care and love Dthe popularity wa

34、ve in the society 59What does the author think of advertisements?AConvincing. BInstructive. CInfluential. DAuthoritative.60According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?AHe/She falls behind the time. BHe/She loses good f

35、riends.CHe/She faces all kinds of criticism. DHe/She gains valuable popularity. BIf women are mercilessly exploited（剥削）year after year， they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion， they are always taken advantage

36、of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it， only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe（衣柜）packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to

37、 wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way， waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts a

38、re lengthened or shortened；neck-lines are lowered or raised， and so on.No one can say that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth， comfort and durability（耐用）. They are only interested in outward appe

39、arance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort， as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day， or carefully picking her way through deep

40、snow in high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion， the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes， one wonders， reflect basic qualities of inconstancy（易变）and instability？Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by f

41、ashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability？That is for you to decide.6l. How do designers and big stores take advantage of women?A. By mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry.B. By attaching great importance to qua

42、lity in womens clothing.C. By constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing.D. By producing large number of new clothes.62. To the writer， the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as .A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creati

43、vity63. Perhaps the writer would not be so critical .A. if fashion designers could pay attention to the comfort of clothingB. if fashion industry could contribute more to societyC. if women took their safety and health in considerationD. if women didnt put up with any discomfort64. By saying “the co

44、nclusions to be drawn are obvious”in Paragraph 4 the writer means that .A. womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion65.

45、Whats the passage mainly about?A. Men are wiser than women in choosing clothes.B. Women are taken advantage of because they always follow clothing fashions.C. Women should be blamed for following clothing fashions.D. Changing fashions have greatly contributed to social development.C“Dr. Papaderos, w

46、hat is the meaning of life?”The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was. “I will answer your question.”Taking his wallet out of his hi

47、p pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this:“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirr

48、or. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place. I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact tha

49、t I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shinein deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find. I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle momen

50、ts and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a childs game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But lighttruth, understanding, knowledgeis there, and it will

51、shine in many dark places only if I reflect it. I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this worldinto the black places in the hearts of menand change some things in some people. Perhaps oth

52、ers may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”66. On hearing the authors question, Dr. Papaderos_at first. A. laughed at his foolishness B. wasnt sure of the answer C. doubted his seriousness D. wasnt interested at all67. How did Dr. Papaderos get the small ro

53、und mirror when he was a child? A. He found it on the road and made it round. B. A dying German soldier gave him as a present. C. He chanced to find it in the street while playing. D. He put the broken pieces together and made it. 68. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a ch

54、ild? A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys. B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldnt reach. C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him. D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him. 69. The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most pr

55、obably means_ . A. symbol B. source C. light D. purpose70. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. A Special Game in the Childhood B. A Broken Piece of Mirror C. Dr. Papaderos ExperienceD. The Meaning of LifeDJames Cooke, of Islip，N.Y.，cant recognize other people. “I see e

56、yes, nose, cheekbones, but no face,” he said. “Ive even passed by my son and daughter without recognizing them.” He is not the only one. Those with prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, can see perfectly well, but their brains are unable to piece together the information needed to understand

57、that a collection of features represents an individuals face. The condition is a neurological（神经病学的）mystery, but new research has shed light on this strange disease. Some scientists had believed that faces and voices, the two main ways people recognize one another, were processed separately by the b

58、rain. Indeed, a condition parallel to prosopagnosia, called phonagnosia, similarly leaves a person unable to distinguish a familiar voice from an unfamiliar one. But by testing for these two conditions at the same time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute recently found evidence that face and vo

59、ice recognition may be linked in a unique person-recognition system. The scientists observed the brain activity of 19 healthy volunteers as they were led through tasks that tested their ability to recognize both faces and voices. The researchers found that regions of the brain, associated with facia

60、l recognition, are directly linked to regions responsible for voice recognition. This research helps explain why a person with prosopagnosia may still have difficulty determining who a person is even after he has begun to speak. The challenge for scientists is to find out where this system breaks do

61、wn. Are these connections in the brain missing entirely, or are people unable to recognize faces and voices simply unable to use these links in some way? It is unclear how many people have these conditions. Many dont even realize they have problems with facial or voice recognition. While some develo

62、p these difficulties after a brain injury, others develop it in childhood. 71. James Cooke cant recognize other people because .A. his eyesight is failing B. he prefers to walk hurriedly C. he suffers from face blindnessD. he cant tell facial expressions72. Which of the following is true of prosopag

63、nosia?A. It is a common disease among adults.B. It may cause damage to the brain.C. It is always an inborn disease. D. There has been no cure for it. 73. According to Paragraph 3, the underlined word “phon agnosia” may be known as .A. voice blindnessB. memory lossesC. facial injuriesD. mental illnes

64、s74. According to the recently discovered evidence, .A. different regions of the brain have to work separatelyB. people with phonagnosia are good at facial recognition C. regions of the brain for personal recognition are connected D. person recognition is controlled by the same part of the brain75.

65、What can we know from the last two paragraphs?A. The causes of the two diseases have been discovered recently.B. The scientists are quite satisfied with the evidence and findings.C. Some people have problems with both facial and voice recognition.D. A lot of patients have been assisted medically and

66、 psychologically.第卷 （共45分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,共15分）Scientists have shown that there is a degree of truth in the old saying that love is blind. They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression（抑制）of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought. It seems that once we get

67、close to a person, the brain decides the need to assess their character and personality is reduced. The study, by University College London, is published in NeuroImage.The researchers found that romantic love and maternal(母性的) love the brain. They both suppress neural （神经的) activity associated with

68、critical social assessment of other people and negative emotions. The UCL team scanned the brains of 20 young mothers while they viewed pictures of their own children, children they were acquainted with, and adult friends. The team found that the patters of brain activity were very similar to those

69、identified in an earlier study looking at the effects of romantic love. Both studies recorded increased activity in parts of the brains reward system. More surprisingly, however, both studies also showed reduced levels of activity in the systems necessary for making negative judgments.Lead researche

70、r Dr Andreas Bartels said it was crucial that romantic and maternal love were viewed by the brain in a highly positive way because both were crucial to the perpetuation (永恒) of the species.76Whats the main idea of the passage? ( no more than 10 words)_77Fill in the blank in Paragraph Two with proper

71、 words. ( no more than 6 words)_78Complete the following statement with proper words. ( no more than 6 words) is that both studies found as well there is a decrease in levels of activity in the systems needed for bad judgments.79What happens to our brain when we approach a person we love? ( no more

72、than 15 words )_80What does the underlined word both ( Line 2, Paragraph 3) probably refer to? ( no more than 5 words )_第二节 书面表达（满分25分）最近几年食品安全已经成为社会的热点话题，请你根据以下内容向校英语广播站写一篇英语短文。要点： 1食品安全问题越来越受到社会关注；2食品安全问题对我们的影响；3你的建议。注意： 1. 词数120左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；Dear fellow students,Over the past couple of ye

74、 food security has become a hot topic across society. The food insecurity has even affected childrens health, for instance, a number of non-performing enterprises adding some forbidden chemical medicine to their products, which makes us find less food safe to eat. Its obvious that food security infl

75、uences everyones daily life. And we can hardly imagine the consequence if what we eat is unhealthy.What should we do to end food safety accidents? I think it is better late than never. Immediate and strict measures should be taken. First of all, the food monitoring system at all levels should do a g

76、ood job in the monitoring work. Secondly, The government should make strict laws to stop them from entering the food industry again. Whenever an accident happened, the person in question should and must answer for it. Thirdly, everyone should strengthen safety awareness. Its advisable that we students stay away from junk and fake food.欢迎广大教师踊跃来稿，稿酬丰厚。
