13.Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever,even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started.Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country.(51)B,according to an official report on youth violence,"in our country today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment,but the terrible reality of violence".Given that this is the case,why aren't students taught to manage (52)A the way they are taught to solve math problems or stay physically fit?First of all,students need to realize that conflict is (53)D.A report indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor (54)C.For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. (55)D
Dthe sandwich can lead to insults,which in turn can lead to violence.The problem isn't in the sandwich,but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable,they can (56)B the golden rule of conflict resolution:stay calm.Once the student feels calmer,he should choose words that will calm the other person down as well.Rude words and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire.On the other hand,(57)A words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down,they can use another key(58)B for conflict resolution:listening.Listening allows the two sides to understand each other.One person should describe his or her side,and the other person should listen without interrupting.Afterward,the listener can ask non-threatening questions to make the speaker's position clear.Then the two people should change (59)C.
(60)D,students need to consider what they are hearing.This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person.It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to (61)A.For example,a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things.Students need to ask themselves questions such as these:How did this start?What do I really want?What am I afraid of?As the issue becomes (62)B,the conflict often simply becomes smaller.Even if it doesn't,(63)D thought helps both sides figure out a better solution.
After students started a conflict resolution,there has been an increase in student (64)A.Learning to resolve conflicts can help students(65)C friends,teachers,parents,bosses and coworkers.In that way,conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

分析 文章介绍了校园暴力.年轻的学生们会为了一件小事而反目成仇,由冲突升级为暴力.对现在的孩子们来说,最大的威胁不是疾病,饥饿或遗弃,而是可怕的校园暴力.我们孩子们不能像处理其它事情一样处理冲突呢?首先,问题出现时,要保持冷静;其次,要学会倾听和理解;最后还要学会自我反省,多问自己问题出在哪?作者最后还提议要在全国推行反对校园暴力的教育,毕竟,学会处理冲突也是一种基本的生存技能.

Today,the Internet is in a few cars; tomorrow,broadband (宽带) will be in all of them.Any capability a personal computer has,a car will have,including two-way wireless communications for receiving e-mail,music,and movies.When you're crossing the lonely place,the kids can watch TV if they're bored.Every passenger will have a video feed.
77.C
Every car will have a self-driving system linked to GPS satellites.Radar sensors (传感器) will track nearby cars.On the freeway,they'll slow your car when the car ahead of you slows; in town,they'll help you park without hitting other cars.At rush hour,you'll get the routes around traffic jams and accidents.The self-driving system in a car makes it possible for the car to drive itself,though some scientists say that's 30to 40years off.
78.A
Motor vehicles today represent 20to 30percent of the world's energy use.In the near future,a small gasoline engine and an electric motor will be brought together.Drivers will use electricity in a storage battery for short distances.Longer term,cars might burn hydrogen or use a fuel cell that converts a fuel like hydrogen and combines it with oxygen to create power.Then the waste will be pure water.
79.B
You'll use the voice control:"Make it a bit cooler"or"find me country music".Lighter,more reliable electronic controls replace mechanical controls.Fiber optics (光纤) replace electrical wires and light bulbs.Seats will be air-conditioned.The car will travel with one side higher than the other when turning,just as an airplane does now.
80.D
Cars will avoid some accidents by maintaining safe following distances,and by sensing sleepy or drunk drivers.Air bags will adapt for every passenger according to their size,weight,and position in case accidents happen.
