14、bike shop. Marking Security marking your bike can act as_a_deterrent_to_a_thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle.

18、our universityDby yourself and in a security companyBStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of c

19、lasses, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as roomandboard. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things. Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two m

20、onths of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major rese

21、arch university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of Ame

22、rican schools, especially at the undergraduate level. The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will h

23、elp with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs.

28、st six months.C Parents need to stop trying to be friends with their children if they want to avoid them becoming louts_and_delinquents. Thats the opinion of a local expert in the field of family relationships. Wendy Harfield from Interrelate, the organization which focuses on relationships, said th

29、e issue of antisocial and violent behavior among youths was a complex one. “There is no single reason why some kids get involved in unacceptable behavior but it seems that it is becoming a major issue not just in places like Bellingen but everywhere，” Ms. Harfield said. “The most important part of t

30、he problem is the issue of selfesteem(自尊). Sometimes parents dont have a strong selfimage or good selfesteem themselves, so it is hard for them to pass good selfesteem on to their children.” Ms. Harfield said it was important that children learnt to develop good relationships with themselves, their

31、family, their friends and their community at an early age. “Parents need to look at themselves as personal trainers, and as we all know trainers get the best results when they start young，”she said, “It is no good waiting until a child is 12 or 13 to start training them to become a good person. You

32、need to start when they are very young and be very consistent with them.” “Teaching and training children to be good people is an important part of being a parent. But just as there are a lot of pressures on kids these days, there are also a lot of pressures on parents and families.” “Children shoul

33、d develop better relationships with everyone in their life before they become teens，” she said，“But for parents the message must be, dont try to be friends to your children. As they go through school they will have the chance to have lots of friends，but they wont be able to have any other parents.”“

34、You need to set the limits of acceptable behavior early and stick to them.”28The underlined words “louts and delinquents” in Paragraph 1 may refer to children_. Awho are very lazy Bwho behave badly Cwho are selfishDwho depend on themselves29According to Ms. Harfield, children with unacceptable behav

35、ior_. Asuffer from a lot of pressures from societyBusually dont get on well with their parents Chave low confidence in their own abilitiesDgrow into good people when they are 12 or 1330Why are parents advised not to be friends to their children? ABecause children need parents more than they need fri

36、ends.BBecause children may have friends later in their life. CBecause parents cant treat their children as true friends.DBecause children dont always believe in their parents.31What would be the best title for the passage? ABeing a friend to your childrenBTough love is the key CExamples speak louder

37、 than wordsDIt is never too late to train children to be goodDThe Roman Empire was so big that there were a lot of different people with different cultures living in it, so you cant really say there was one way of living in the Roman Empire.People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lu

38、cky to have lived under the Roman Empire. There were people of so many different cultures travelling around the empire interacting with each other that there had been in general a lot of tolerance for other cultures. On the other hand, this contact did also cause tensions, which sometimes broke into

39、 violent killings of minority groups. People were forced into slavery in every corner of the Roman Empire, but the way slaves were treated depended on where you were and also on when. Big farms were usually worked by slave field hands. But other slaves were house servants, like nurses, cooks, and bo

40、ys who took care of the horses and they were generally better treated. A lot of slaves also worked for the Roman government, or for private businesses, as managers，or running a shop，or in small factories. All over the Roman Empire, many boys in cities seem to have gone to school, but most girls had

41、to stay at home. Out in the countryside，probably hardly anyone could read or write. Very few people went to college，but those that did often travelled far from home，to Athens or Alexandria in Egypt, for a good education. Partly at school, and partly through their families or just playing ball games

42、outside, kids all over the Roman Empire did have lots of friends. Girls and boys from rich families, however, were not allowed to get romantic together. Most marriages among the upper classes were arranged by the parents，but case was probably different for the poor.32What life was like for people of

43、 minority races in the Roman Empire?ALife for them was too hard to bear.BThey couldnt communicate with people of other cultures.CThey were forced to give up their own culture.DLife for them was comfortable in a way.33Of the following kinds of slaves，which group maybe badly treated?AHouse servants.

68、节理解题。从第三段Basic Security中的“Always lock your bicycle when you leave.”可知。22.C词义猜测题。本句意为“你自行车上的安全标记对于小偷来说能够作为障碍物”。23.D细节理解题。根据文章最后两段可知。24B细节理解题。第一段中的“They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.”表明学生要证明自己有能力付学费。25B推理判断题。从文章的大意可以推知，这是针对准备在美国读大学的学生所做的演讲。26C细节理解题。文章提到the Universi

69、ty of Washington是a leading state university27A细节理解题。第三段中的“A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.”表明至少提前18个月申请是a good idea，但不是必须。28B细节理解题。结合第一段中的avoid them becoming和第二段的the issue of antisocial and violent behavior among youths及第三段的unaccep

70、table behavior可知选B项。lout举止粗野的人；delinquent违法者。29 C细节理解题。根据第四段的The most important part of the problem is the issue of selfesteem.so it is hard for them to pass good selfesteem on to their children可知这些孩子们没有太强的自尊心30A细节理解题。结合倒数第二段末句的they will have the chance to have lots of friends，but they wont be able

71、to have any other parents及最后一段可知选A项。31B标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了家长不要和孩子们成为朋友，因为这样孩子们的行为往往没有界限，从而会造成他们长大后做出一些不能被社会接受的行为，到那时，再来训练他们成为优秀的人往往太晚了，所以希望父母要严格地爱孩子，故B项符合主旨。32D根据第二段的首句“People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lucky to have lived under the Roman Empire.”以及后面一句中提到的“.there had been in genera

72、l a lot of tolerance(容忍)for other cultures.”可以推断，来自少数民族或文化的人在罗马帝国生活得还算舒适。33B第三段中提到不同的奴隶所受到的待遇不同；先是提到了在农场上干活的奴隶；然后提到了“.house servants.boys who took care of the horses.”，紧接着说他们所受的待遇要好一些；然后又提到了一些努力为政府或私人企业干活、甚至是当上经理或者经营商店，这说明这类奴隶的生活也可以，由此判断待遇最差的是在农场上干活的奴隶们。34D根据第四段的“.but most girls had to stay at home.

73、”可知D项正确。35A根据第一段的内容“罗马帝国那么大，有那么多来自不同文化的人，因此很难说在罗马帝国只有一种生活方式”，即在罗马帝国很可能有多种生活方式；B项根据文章最后一句可知错误；C项根据最后一段首句可知错误；D项在文章中没有依据。3640EFABC41.B passengers乘客，第二段第一句话中出现了。42.B was/were doing.when.是固定句式，意为“正在做就在这时”。43.A sank是sink的过去式，意为“下沉”。44D根据上下文可知这里是转折关系，故用but。45B本句的意思是“由于改进，产生了水下考古”。come into being意思是“出现，产生”

74、。46Cimprove改进。47B本句的意思是“对于政府和从事这项生意的私人公司，它可以提高利润”。48.C undertake意为“承担”。49.B本句话的意思是“泰坦尼克号的发现使水下考古大受欢迎”。discovery发现。50A本句话的意思为“由于Republic船在公共海域的水下，所以公司不需要办理许可证”。51.B从时间状语for about 140 years可知，应该用现在完成时态。52B从“Today more than 51,000 coins have been recovered.”可知，应该用recover，意为“重新发现”。53D item意为“物件”。54Asth.

75、 cost(s) money”做某事花费了钱”。55B 本句的意思是“然而，预计将这些金币卖掉可以赚取1亿2千万到1亿8千万美元的利润”。56B四个选项中，能修饰不可数名词的只有B、D两项，但D项必须加介词of才对。57A range from.to.意思是“从到变动”。58B total意为“总数/总量”。59D dating between.and.意为“时间在和之间”，作定语。60C finest意为“最好的”。61later根据前文的I left it early可知用later。62until/till根据句意及前面的wait可知应填until/till。63Sitting sit与

76、逻辑主语a man是主动关系，与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。64was pretending根据后面的and可知与giving是并列关系。65mentallydisabled是形容词，修饰形容词需用副词。66whom引导定语从句；前面有介词to；先行词people是指人的名词。67they指代前文的other people，在句中作主语。68onon ones own独自，单独。符合句意。69anconversation是可数名词；amazing的开头音素是元音。70both指代上文的he和I。Dear Mary， I your Email just now.
