12.When young people in the United States gather for fun,there is a good chance that they will soon be dancing.If there are no musicians,they will play records.If there are no records,someone is certain to have a radio.One way or another there will be dancing.
The ways that boys and girls dance will often change every year or two.You may hear them say that the very latest steps are‘in',while last year's steps are‘out'.Each boy and girl takes pride in learning newest things.They feel that this is important to remain popular with their friends.
Years ago the dances of young people were not very different from those of their parents,but high school and college students of today have created their own music and have invented their own dances,thanks to people like Chubby Checker,the Beatles,and Elvis Presley.These musicians helped to make popular an exciting new kind of music that people began to dance to in a different way.
In the late 1950s Chubby Checker started a dance that he called the"twist."The twist,like so many new dances,was lively,and people who performed it used a lot of energy.The word chubby means"a little bit fat,"which is why this singer and dancer called himself Chubby.
After demonstrating his new dance hundreds of times,however,Chubby was no longer chubby.This is one of the advantages.Even if older people do not like the new dances,they must agree that people,get much more exercise from modern dances than they ever got from a waltz.
56.What are three ways to have music for dancing?(no more than 4words)①Musicians; ②Records; ③Radios
57.How often do ways of dancing to rock music change?(no more than 4 words)Every year or two.

点评 1.阅读理解题目的题型是客观的,而阅读表达的题型则是主观的,这不仅需要考生将文章理解,还需要将自己对文章的理解通过自己的语言表达出来,而且要受到字数的限制.这就是说阅读理解只是要求学生将文章及题目中的信息理解了,就能作对题目,而阅读表达不仅要求学生理解文章和题目而且要把文章中的信息用自己的语言表达出来,是一种信息的输出.2.阅读理解的文章难度较大,片幅较长,生词较多;阅读表达的文章较为简单,生词少.3.在于阅读理解中的题型是选择题,问题类型及所考查的方式差别很大,所供选择的答案只有一项是正确的;但在阅读表达中,题型和题目的设置是比较固定的,包括:题目、句子替换、完成句子、个人观点描述(开放式问题)及翻译五种题型,答案往往是不唯一的.

3.A few months ago as I wandered through my parents'house,the same house I grew up in,I had a sudden,scary realization.When my parents bought the house,in 1982,they were only two years older than I am now.I tried to imagine myself in two years,ready to settle down and buy the house I'd still be living in almost 30 years later.
   It seemed ridiculous.On a practical level,there's no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon.More importantly,I wouldn't want to.I'm not sure where I'll be living in two years,or what kind of job I'll have.And I don't think I'll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
   So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents.When our parents were our age,they'd got their education,chosen a career,and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
   My friends and I--"Generation Y"--still aren't sure what we want to do with our lives.Whatever we end up doing,we want to make sure we're happy doing it.We'd rather take risks first,try out different jobs,and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place.We'd rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
   This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation"arrogant","impatient",and"overprotected".Some of these complaints have a point.As children,we were encouraged to succeed in school,but also to have fun.We grew up in a world full of technological innovation:cellphones,the Internet,instant messaging,and video games.
   Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top,on the same track,often for the same company.That doesn't apply to my generation.
Because of that,it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible,stable adulthood.But that's not necessarily a bad thing.In our desire to find satisfaction,we will work harder,strive for ways to keep life interesting,and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents'generation did.

20."Mummy,I don't know what to play with."Steve interrupts his mother,who is talking to a friend,for the fourth time."You've got a room full of toys!"his mother says,impatiently.In fact it is thejumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls,cars and stuffed (packed) animals.Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor,listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying:"Mummy,I am bored."
A family therapist (心理医生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole"toy shop"at home:"According to their brain development,little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once.There is always just one favorite toy for the moment.All the rest is left lying about."What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys?Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge.If he/she takes no more notice of a toy,a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away.Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then!A talk with relatives and friends may also help.Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie,and we like her way.A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites.When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys,they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room.The box of"old"toys goes into the cupboard.When her child says she is"bored",they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.
Some favorite toys stay out all the time,and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner,but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something"fresh"to play with.

7.Talking behind someone's back is considered to be rude and mean.Such a conversation can cover all kinds of criticism,from their looks to their work and personality.
The other day at lunch I was with a group of colleagues,and we were talking about our boss.She is the new headmaster of our middle school.
We talked about how kind she is to us.She handwrites notes to wish us happy holidays or to thank us for jobs well done.She checks on us when she knows we're facing difficulties outside school with our health or with our families.We talked about the good role model that she is for the young women in our school and the fair but firm way she treats students and parents.
I thought about this after lunch.Sometimes we have the good fortune to be part of another kind of"talking behind someone's back".And too often when we say something good about someone behind their backs,they never know about it!That night,I sent her an email to report the conversation.She replied by saying how much she appreciated hearing about this,and how it made a bright spot in a tough week of testing.
Watch for your next opportunity to be the reporter!Make sure you tell them about the nice things said behind their backs!Because how will they know unless we tell them?

4.Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think.They may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and take photos wherever you are,but they also turn you into a workaholic(工作狂).
A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.
Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day.Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up,while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am,with more than a third checking their first email in this period,and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said:"The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people.However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more constantly in touch we become,the more is expected of us in work."
67.With a smartphone the average UK working day isC.
A.2 hours       B.9 to 10 hours          C.11 to 12 hours               D.24 hours
68.It could be inferred from the text that the British peopleD.
A.prefer to check emails in the morning
B.are crazy about different smartphones
C.shorten their normal working hours
D.work extra hours with smartphones
69.What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smartphones?C
A.They are unimportant for most of people.
B.They have disadvantages for some companies.
C.They make it impossible for people to rest.
D.They are useful to improve a work ability.
70.Where can we most probably read this text?B
A.In a science fiction
B.In a newspaper.
C.In a travel magazine
D.In a storybook.
1.Decision-making under Stress
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages,causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.
"Stress affects how people learn,"says Professor Mara Mather."People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress."
For example,two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments.In one experiment,some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other,some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water.In both cases,the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress-at those moments,only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind.But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect.Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better,but negative consequences are also easily recalled.
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women.While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress,their responses to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way.In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big,men may tend to do better,when caution weighs more,however,women will win.
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men:they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.

68.We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend toB.
A.recall consequences more effortlessly
B.keep rewards better in their memory
C.make risky decisions more frequently
D.learn a subject more effectively
69.According to the research,stress affects people most probably in theirA.
A.ways of making choices
B.preference for pleasure
C.tolerance of punishments
D.responses to suggestions
70.The research has proved that in a stressful situation,C.
A.women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B.men have a greater tendency to slow down
C.men are more likely to take risks
D.women focus more on outcomes.
2.Once upon a time,there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land--animals and plants.
One day while walking through the woods,the old man found a cocoon of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later,a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly,so he took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then came out easily.
But it had a swollen body and small,shriveled wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body,or they would be smaller.Neither happened!In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled (枯萎)wings.It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties,it would cripple (无能) us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

21.The old man cut the cocoon in order toC.
A.kill the butterfly
B.play with the butterfly
C.make the butterfly come out easily
D.have the butterfly
22.The reason why the butterfly could not fly is thatD.
A.the old man broke its wings
B.it was too small
C.newly born butterflies can't fly
D.it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
23.What can we know from the passage?B
A.That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly.
B.It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying.
C.The old man realized his mistake.
D.It's not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
24.What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage?C
A.We should help others.
B.Without others help we can still succeed.
C.Struggles in our life can make us stronger.
D.Butterflies can fly without people's help.
