16.Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect toward others.Should good sportsmanship,then,be taught in school?Critics do not think so.(71)BPresented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.
Teaching good sportsmanship and having a positive attitude in activities like sports,class elec tions,and science fair competitions are critical to success in school.(72)EActing calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life.
(73)GA person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are.Knowing the rules also applies to other activities.If students enter a science fair competition,for example,they must follow the guidelines. Those who know the rules are much more likely to succeed.When students learn sportsmanship,they discover,how knowing the rules relates to achievement.
Good players become skilled at handling responsibility.When people accept responsibility,they achieve their best.Positive thinkers,moreover,influence others,especially those who are struggling with a problem.A gifted basketball player,for example,might teach skills to a less-talented player.Helping others raises the performance of the entire team.The team,consequently,could reach new heights and set new records.(74)DThose who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility.For them,if an opportunity is lost,it is someone else's fault.When student s participate on a team,they benefit by learning to accept responsibility,encourage others and own up to mistakes.
Sportsmanship is a winning idea.It must be taught in school.Students need direction to become good sports".Students will be responsible for their own actions and will have a positive influence on others.As students enter the workforce,businesses benefit.The community also benefits because these students will someday become leaders(75)A.
   
    A.We need to educate students about how sportsmanship pays off for everyone.
    B.However,the stronger argument favors teaching good sportsmanship.
    C.Sports help young adults learn how to team up with others.
    D.Good sportsmanship also means admitting mistakes.
    E.Activities involving winning or losing can be tense.
    F.It is natural that players should be eager to win.
    G.Good team players know the rules of the game.

4.Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is"Don't!".But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act,though the chances of his becoming famous are slim.The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school.Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted,and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company,usually as an assistant stage manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre:painting scenery,looking after the furniture,taking care of the costumes,and even acting in very small parts.It is very hard work indeed.The hours are long and the salary is tiny.But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy,waiting for the chances of working with a better company,or perhaps in films or television.
Of course,some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training.Connie Pratt,for example,was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop,as he drove past in his big car.He told the driver to stop,and he got out to speak to the girl.He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and at first she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police.It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious.Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day.The test was successful.They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day.Of Course,she was given a more dramatic name,which is now world-famous.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

65.According to the passage,the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors isD.
A.actors are very unusual people
B.the course at the drama school lasts two years
C.acting is really a hard job
D.there are already too many actors
66.According to the context,the sentence"But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy"at the end of the first paragraph meansB.
A.they don't care if their job is hard
B.they like the stage naturally
C.they are born happy
D.they are easily satisfied
67.Connie Pratt soon became a famous actress afterD.
A.learning some lessons about the art of speaking
B.playing her part in the"Blue Colored Moon"
C.successfully matching the most famous actors
D.acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time

A.all at once                  B.once for a long time
C.once in a while              D.once and for all.
11.Many people would interpret"The American dream"as"living like an American"-a two-story house with a white picket fence; a family with two cars; and two children.
However,the economic situation is now affecting the American way of life for 4.4 million people living in the US,according to new census (人口普查) data."It's going to have a long-term impact and to say it's going to end is optimistic,"says Cheryl Russell,former editor-in-chief of American Demographics magazine."I'm more pessimistic that this is the new normal."
So what is the new normal?
*Marrying later.The average age of the first marriage has increased to 28.7 for men and 26.7 for women,up from 27.5 and 25.9 respectively in 2006.At the same time,fewer people are getting married.If the marriage rate had stayed the same as in 2006,there would have been about 4 million more married people in 2010.
*Fewer babies.There were 200,000 fewer births among women aged 20 to 34 in 2010 compared with two years before.This was despite the fact that the number of women of childbearing age had gone up by more than 1 million."The recession(衰退) is the likely cause,"says Kenneth Johnson,demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institue,"Economic fertility (生育能力)"because women delay …in uncertain times.
*Breaking up is harder.The number of divorces has been falling for 25 years as people wait longer or choose to live together before they get married.There were about 65,000 fewer divorces in 2010 than in 2008,a 7 percent decrease.
*Crowd living.Unemployment is forcing more people to live together.The number of households where people lived with"other relatives"climbed from 6.7 percent in 2006 to 7.2 percent in 2010.
*Going public.Private school enrollment decreased from 13.6 percent in 2006 to 12.8 percent in 2010.
*Fewer cars.The percent age of households without a car rose to 9.1 percent against 8.8 percent in 2006.The percent-age of households with two or more cars fell from 58 percent to 57.1 percent.
*Driving solo.When people are not working,they don't carpool.The proportion of people aged 16 to 64 in employment dropped greatly in all but one of the 50 largest metropolitan (大城市的) areas.That has helped push the share of people driving to work alone from 76 percent in 2006 to 76.6 percent in 2010.Ride-sharing is down a full percentage point,to 9.7 percent.

D.US students prefer to go to private schools rather than pubic schools.

8.(71)AWe've worked to make their streets and their schools safer,to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home.We've worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous,illegal and wrong.
Today,I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation's children from an even more deadly threat.(72)ESmoking kills more people every day than AIDS,alcohol,car accidents,murders,drugs and fires combined.Nearly 90% of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18.consider this:3,000children start to smoke every day illegally,and 1,000of them will die sooner because of it.(73)BFor more than five years we've worked to stop our children from smoking before they begin to try,starting a nationwide campaign to educate them about the dangers of smoking to reduce their access to tobacco products,and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.(74)GThat means if we act now,we have it in our power to stop three million children from smoking and save a million lives as a result.So this is an emergency that needs quick action of all of you.(75)C.

A.Since I took office,I've done much to protect our children from harm.
B.This is a national tragedy(悲剧)that every American should help to prevent.
C.The quicker action we take,the fewer teen smokers there will be.
D.We have to educate them about the dangers of smoking.
E.It is smoking that is more terrible than drugs.
F.Compared with other diseases,drugs kill more people every day.
G.If we do these,we'll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.
5.Alice,my friend's daughter,goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend,Jane,who is on a full scholarship at this school.Jane has (36)Ceconomic resources-her father has been dead for years and her mother works (37)D a maid.Although her mother works very hard,she can (38)C support the family.Jane is very bright and gifted at(39)A and that's how she has got the scholarship,which included a(n) (40)B for things like lunch,school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would (41)A talk to her at lunch.She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids (42)C her.
On her birthday last month,she (43)B her new friend to her birthday party,but Jane said she couldn't come.Alice wanted her to be (44)Dso much that she(45)B on her coming.Eventually,the girl said,"I don't have any (46)C clothes that I could wear at your birthday party."After a brief pause,the girl remembered,"I have a (47)A from my piano performance,"and asked,"Could I (48)B a skirt from you?"
Alice was happy that her friend would be(49)D to come and hurried home to ask her Mum (50)Bshe could lend her friend one of her skirts.To her surprise,her Mum said,"No."The daughter was very (51)B and angrily said to her Mum,"(52)A I could,I would give my friend all my clothes."The Mother didn't understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she's normally very well (53)D.
Finally,Alice explained to her Mother her friend's (54)C.Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said,"Yes."She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her(55)Bwith her.
So the true friendship seeks to give,not to take; to help,not to be helped; to minister,not to be ministered unto.

19.A 17-year-old boy,caught sending text messages in class,was recently sent to the vice principal's office.The vice principal,Steve Gallagher,told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher,not his cellphone.The boy listened politely and nodded,and that's when Mr.Gallagher noticed the student's fingers  moving on his lap.He was testing while being scolded for texting."It was a  subconsciou act,"says Mr.Gallagher,who took the phone away."Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night.It's compulsive."
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain,Ga.,found that the more time young people spend on Facebook,the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits.Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable,but they are also more likely to be anxious,hostile or depressed.(Doctors,meanwhile,are now laming addictions to‘night texting'for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.)
Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10times a day,according to a 2009survey by Common Sense Media,a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families.Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force,or will employers come to see texting and‘social-network checking'as accepted parts of the workday?
Think back,When today's older workers were in their 20s,they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans.In those earlier eras,companies discouraged non-business-related calls,and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired.It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.
Educators are also being asked by parents,students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules."In past generations,students got in trouble for passing notes in class.Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets,"says 40-year-old Mr.Gallagher,the vice principal,"and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over.Students are just fundamentally different today.They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."

66.The underlined word"a subconscious act"in the first paragraph refers to an actB.
A.on purpose     B.without realization
C.in secret      D.with care

C.have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
D.are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect
68.Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s,it can be inferred thatD.
A.the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages
B.a cellphone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people
C.The employers prefer older workers to young  people
D.the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people
69.Mr.Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those todayC.
A.like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages
B.are always the big problem for the educations and their parents
C.like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way
D.cannot live without a cellphone
70.What's the best title of the passage?B
A.Teenagers and Cellphones
B.Teenagers'Texting Addiction
C.Employers and Teenagers
