Why are you 32 at home?”Then I noticed his 33 and realized he was telling me

And then, your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare when someone is screaming, “Get up!” Its just what every teenager

24、goes through each morning!Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.The Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any

25、 difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy, even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the rea

26、sons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.The schools decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adu

27、lts have different sleep cycles, explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late.While adults are wide awake and ready at 8 am, teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because th

28、ey are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control. Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake.The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make i

29、t a permanent change.51. Whats the best title of this passage?A. Get up early, teenagers!B. Finally, a school understands teenagers.C. Why do teenagers stay up late?D. Difference between teens and adults.52. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “truancy”?A. gradesB. subjectsC. absenceD. classes

30、53. What can we learn from the passage?A. Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle.B. Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am.C. Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study.D. Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason.54. Which of the following statements is NOT true according

31、to the passage? A. The Monkseaton school is satisfied with the result of experiments.B. It is cruel for the teenagers to show up at 9 am.C. The Monkseaton school plans to change the school time forever.D. Teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon.BThey wear the latest fashions wi

32、th the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）. Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social

33、policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four yearsnow you can pick one up at th

34、e supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameat 5 or 6 percent of spendingthe amount o

35、f clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said. “Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but n

36、ow almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity（名流）style than in previous yea

37、rs.She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my o

38、lder customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years

39、ago.” 55.Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, .Athe price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%Bthe spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%Cpeople spend 30% less than they did on clothesDthe amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%56.When can we learn about old women in

40、terms of fashion?AThey are often ignored by fashion designers.BThey are now more easily influenced by stars.CThey are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.DThey are more interested in clothes because of their old age.57.It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today

42、ess ExpensiveCUnexpected Changes in Fashion DBoom of the British Fashion IndustryCFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the li

43、ne between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only course of their fight is their adolescents compl

44、ete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels o

45、ver unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make

46、 the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter what the topic ispolitics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an eggthe point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for

47、 both wish to be considered an authority someone who actually knows something and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. 59.Why d

48、oes the author compare the parent- teen war to a border conflict? A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line. C. Neither has any clear winner.D.

49、starting the conflict. B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them. D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.61. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _. A. give orders to the otherB

Causes for the parent-teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent-teen war C. Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD. Future of the

51、 parent-teen relationshipDNo matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity（一致）in th

52、e lists which represent the best choices of any period.What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones Ive found most useful in explaining my choices over the years. Great books are probably the most widely read. They

53、 are not best sellers for a year or two. But they are long lasting ones. Gone With the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad（伊利亚特）has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.

54、Great books are popular, not pedantic（书生气的）.They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced stude

55、nts, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which t

56、hey deal. Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom is

57、strengthened, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.63.Which is NOT the standard in the following when evaluating a great book?AAlthough not a best seller, it must be the most widely read.BIt can be read without much relevant knowledge. CGreat books are never out of date.DGreat books will

58、not disappoint you. 64.According to the author, Gone With the Wind is .Asure to enjoy a large number of readers in the long runBdisliked by readers who like ShakespeareCnot a great book because of the few readersDread more often than Don Quixote65.After reading the passage, we can infer that . Adiff

61、the classroom more pleasant.And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to understand the different types of people youll meet throughout your life. “But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher.

When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying(恐吓).As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wo

64、nderful stage in your life. Youre like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways.
