17．I have to say that my mom is stricter than most parents，and I'm the kind of kid who has a lot of my own thoughts．
I used to think that she's just a picky person that likes to make things more difficult for me，so we once sat down and talked face to face trying to clarify every misunderstanding we have  （25）betweenus．I （26）was convinced（convince） and decided to change my attitude towards her．My mom told me that as we grow，she's also growing，too．Every day，she learns something new about being a mom，and her knowledge of becoming a good mom gradually grows．
（27）Astime passes by，I began to realize that most of her rules，or should I say"point of view"，are really to protect us．We teenagers often think that parents are conservative （保守的），and they know nothing about us，but honestly，we're actually still too young （28）to know（know） what's really best for us．
Parents can be wrong sometimes because nobody's perfect，and they may be just like my mom who is still on her way to （29）being（be） a perfect parent!So，to those who often argue with their parents like me：next time，when you really disagree with （30）whatyour parents say，stop and tell yourself that your parents would never try to do （31）anythingto harm you because they love you before you yell at them．
Finally，I really want my mom to know how sorry I am for always yelling at her breaking her heart．I really do want to change because I love her just as much as she loves me．

8．Holi，also called the Festival of Colors，is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India，Nepal，Bangladesh．It is celebrated at the end of the winter season on the last full moon day of the lunar month．
Holi originally was a festival to celebrate good harvests．It developed to honor a legend from the Hindu Mythology（神话）．The story focuses on a cruel king，who hated his son，Prahlada．He attempted to kill his son but failed each time．Finally，the king asked his sister Holika，who was said to be safe in fire，to get rid of his son．However，when the aunt tried to burn Prahlada，it was the prince who ended up being safe in fire while the aunt herself was burnt to death．Holi honors this event every year and huge bonfires（篝火）are burnt on the eve of Holi．The festival spreads over 16days．During these days people often have fun and play with colored powder and water．Holi is also celebrated with exciting parades which are companied by folk songs and dances．
The festival begins on the night of the full moon．Bonfires are lit on street corners to drive away the air of evil spirits and bad feelings，and to symbolize the destruction of bad Holika，after whom the festival was named．In the morning，the streets are filled with people running，shouting and laughing．
At noon，the craziness comes to an end and everyone heads to either the river or the bathroom，then relaxes and enjoys candies．A tired and contented silence falls over India．

5．It is 2035．You have a job，a family and you are about 40years old!Welcome to your future life．
Getting ready for work，you pause in front of the mirror．"Turn red，"you say．Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red．Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged in your shirt to change its color．Looking into the mirror，you find it hard to believe you're 40．You look much younger．With amazing progress in medicine，people in your generation may live to be 150years old．You are not even middle-aged!
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl，you hear，"To lose weight，you shouldn't eat that，"from your shoes．They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details．You decide to listen to your shoes．"Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？"A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies．
"Ready for your trip to space？"you ask your son and daughter．In 2005only specially trained astronauts went into space-and very few of them．Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations．Your best friend even works in space．Handing your children three strawberries each，you add，"The doctor said you need these for space travel．"Thanks to medical progress，vaccination shots（防疫针） are a thing of the past．Ordinary foods contain the vaccines．With the strawberries in their mouths，the kids head for the front door．
It's time for you to go to work．Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors．"My office，Autopilot，"you order．Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway．You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper．The latest news downloads and fills the viewer．Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video film rather than read it．

12．The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women．During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，four or five of whom lived till they were five years old．By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work..Today women marry younger and have fewer children．Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty．Even while she has to take care of children，her work is lightened by moder living conditions．
This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position．Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school..However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it．Today the school-leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women usually marry older，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work．Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money，and running the home，according to the abilities and interests of each of them．
24．At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage？A

2．Law enforcement agencies across the United States are using cameras to take pictures of automobile license plates．The idea is to build a computerized collection of information detailing the daily travel of millions of Americans．
      Detective Mohammed Tabibi uses a license plate reader，also known as a LPR to look for stolen vehicles．"It has somewhat paid．We have caught some people involved in some serious crimes because of the LPR，"said Tabibi．
      The use of LPRs is growing across the United States．Some are fixed to poles along Roadsides，others are placed in law-enforcement vehicles．Privacy groups are concerned about the growing use of these devices．Jay Stanley is with the American Civil Liberties Union  （ ACLU）．"What they  are  also doing  is  storing everybody's time，place，and  location．And  many police departments are holding that information indefinitely．You know in our society，the government doesn't follow you and invade your privacy and track you unless it has a specific  reason that you are involved in wrongdoing，"said Stanley．
      Kevin Rearden served as Captain of the Arlington county Police，who also headed the county's Homeland Security Department before he retired．He said county policy called for the  LPR information to be kept for six months．"We originally had a two-month period，and the  detectives requested the chief extend it to six months because they found in so many investigations，keeping it for two months wasn't long enough，"said Rearden，"but other law  enforcement agencies that use the information may store it for unlimited periods of time．"
     Supporters of privacy rights say they have no problem with police departments taking pictures of license plates to investigate crimes．But Jay Stanley says they're against storing the  information for long periods of time．
     However，Captain Rearden disagrees，"They  keep saying the word'tracking'．I would be  lucky if I could find you in a few places in Arlington at a particular time．By no stretch of the  imagination would I be able to track you．"

9．[1]Every year，lots of children die in traffic accidents，and many of these tragedies occur because child safety seats are not properly installed or are not used at all．As more and more families buy private cars，it's time to ______ the safety of children．
[2]Parents tend to let the child sit alone in the front passenger seat，or leave the child alone in the back of the car without any safety restraints，have the child held in an adult's lap，or have the child use an adult's safety belt．All of these can potentially add elements of danger for a child in a car．
[3]In the 1970s，Western countries began to research safety devices for children in cars．It was later found that special safety devices for children in cars will help to reduce injury by about 70 percent，and child safety seats play a key role in protecting children in case of traffic accidents．
[4]Since 1999，automakers have been required to put child restraint systems in cars in the United States．There are more than 25 million child safety seats in the United States，compared to only 600，000 in China．Today，more than 40 countries in the world have already issued relevant legal regulations，making it compulsory that children sit in safety seats．In Germany，the Netherlands and Japan，children under 12 years old are required to sit in child safety seats．
[5]China is a manufacturing base for child safety seats，but the market in China is still limited．As a result，while we export our products to other countries，our own children in China are rarely provided with safety seats for various reasons．We hope this situation will be improved．
66．What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？（no more than 10 words）
Elements of danger for a child in a car．
67．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words．（no more than 5 words）
pay more attention to
68．Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5？
Though large quantities of safety seats are made in China，few are used by the Chinese car owners．
69．List at least 3 elements of danger for a child in a car．
1）sit alone in the front passenger seat
2）leave the child alone in the back of the car without any safety restraints
3）have the child held in an adult's lap
70．What does the author want to tell us by writing such an article？（no more than 12 words ）The situation of using safety seats in China should be improved．．
6．The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team．In its original sense，however，culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group，nation，or empire：its physical environment，history，and traditions，its social rules and economic structure，and its religious beliefs and arts．
The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another．It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate．People acquire a culture because they are not born with one．The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods，accented speech，or an outlook on the world over time，therefore，is known as enculturation （文化适应）．
Cultures are often identified by their symbols-images that are familiar and coated with meaning．Totem poles （图腾柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）．In Asia and India，the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor's family was allowed to wear．Thus，different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently．For example，to some a flag may represent pride，historical accomplishments，or ideals； to others，however，it can mean danger or oppression．
To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own，the beliefs，behaviors，and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening．A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos，meaning"people，"and kentros，meaning"center"）．A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and，possibly，wrong or evil．
All people are ethnocentric to some degree，and some aspects of ethnocentrism，such as national pride，contribute to a well-functioning society．An appreciation for one's own culture，however，does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture．History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together．Extreme ethnocentrism，in contrast，can lead to racism-the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one's own race is superior to all others．

74．What does the word"innate"in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A
A．Instinctive．
B．Developed．
C．Believable．
D．Cultivated．
75．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another．
B．An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own．
C．Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group，nation or empire．
D．People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image．
76．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society．
B．Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures．
C．Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude．
D．Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world．
77．Which might be the best title of the passage？D
A．Culture，the origin of racial superiority
B．Culture，a faithful mirror of history
C．Culture，the vigour of world development   
D．Culture，a distinctive identity of a nation．
7．---Has Li Lei finished his work today？

A．had doneB．would doC．was doingD．did
