16.How hard we have all prayed(祈祷) to grow up quickly,and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.?
At last,you have grown up.At least you are no longer a child.They call you"young lady".You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady.You are proud of being a grown-up teenager.People welcome you-this young lady-heartily.You are glad that your prayer has been answered.
But there is always something that troubles you a lot.You say;"Papa and Mama,give me some money please.My pocket money is all gone already."?
"No",they say,"your age is a dangerous age.If you have too much money to spend,it won't do you any good."Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.
Another time you tell your grandma,"Grandma,see,I am a grown-up now."?
"Good,now,you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest."To show that you are no more a child,you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grown-up can do.After an hour,you find it hard to do,and give the knitting basket back to your grandma.Your grandma criticizes your work.You hear what she says,"Such a big girl can't do such easy work."You wish then you were a child again.?
But the fact is,you are growing up,and you can't help it.That's the way it goes!
28.The passage is told aboutC problems.
A.a growing-up boy's       
B.an old woman's
C.a teenage girl's

11.Many theories regarding the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence.Theories(51)Aon the individual suggest that children(52)Ccriminal behavior before they were not sufficiently(53)Afor previous misbehaviors or that they have learned criminal behavior through interaction with others.Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in(54)Dto their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status or as a rejection of middle-class values.
Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from(55)Cfamilies,(56)Bthe fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes.The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate control from parents.All(57)D,however,are uncertain or unimproved and are of course challenged with criticism.
Changes in the social structure may indirectly(58)Ajuvenile crime rates.For example,changes in the economy that(59)Bto fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment(60)Amake gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain.This results in(61)Bamong youths and may in(62)Clead more youths into criminal behavior.
Families have also experienced(63)Dthese years.More families consist of one parent households or two working parents; (64)Bchildren are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family(65)C.This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates.Other noticeable(66)Bof offensive acts include(67)Bexperience or failure in school,the(68)Cavailability of drugs and alcohol,and the growing phenomenon of child abuse and child neglect.All these conditions tend to increase the(69)Dof a child committing a criminal act,(70)Ba direct cause and effect relationship has not yet been established.

1.All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy(遗产),but what legacy will you leave?
I had a philosophy(哲学)professor,whose untidy appearance was highlighted(突出)by a (41)B sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses,which often  (42)C on the tip of his nose.Every now and then,as most philosophy professors do,he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand"what's the meaning of(43)A"discussions.Many of those discussions went (44)D,but there were a few that really hit home(切中要害).This was one of them.

4.British men are encouraged to cry.
There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves.The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup.They also believe they do not cry.Over the centuries,Britons are believed to have a"stiff upper lip".But is this true?
Yes,it is.A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still containtheir emotions.
Moreover,while 72 percent think this is unhealthy,19 percent can't remember the last time they"let it out".As a result,Kleenex is launching the"Let It Out"campaign that encourages Brits to grab a tissue and have a good cry.
These days,however,the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing.Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally,a 2004 study by Oxford's Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable.Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers.Scotsmen are the least emotional,although they are the most likely to cry at weddings.
Peter Marsh,director of the center,said:"Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness.Like with David Beckham,crying because you're dropping off your boy at nursery isn't seen as weak."
Winston Churchill was said to be a frequent crier,shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter,and when he saw his wife after a long absence.
Psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry,there are limits.Ronald Bracey,a consulting psychologist,said:"If a man began to cry when he was having stitches(缝针)in hospital,he would be considered as a coward.Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain."
67.What does the passage mainly deal with?D
A.Impression of British men.
B.British men's dream of the World Cup.
C.Advice on how to control emotions.
D.Different attitudes British men have towards crying.
68.Which of the following concerning the British men is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries.
B.They are confident that they will again get successful in the World Cup.
C.About 50% of Britons admitted crying before their mothers.
D.Nowadays,the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing.
69.The word"contain"in paragraph 3 meansB.
A.store         B.hold back          C.include          D.stir up
70.What does the author think of the British men's crying?C
A.They should cry if hurt.
B.They should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps.
C.They should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems.
D.They should"let it out"whatever problems they meet with.
15.Americans use many expressions with the word"dog".People in the US love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks,let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However,dogs without owners lead a different kind of life.The expression"to lead a dog's life"describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same thing,like good jobs.They say that to be successful,they have to work like a dog.This means they have to work very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Some people say,"Every dog has its day."This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful,people often have to learn new skills.Yet,some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that old people don't like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don't want.But mean dogs are often used to guard the property,for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather,but we don't want it to rain too hard.We don't want it to rain cats and dogs.

51.The underlined word"mean"in Paragraph 4most probably means"C".
A.selfish
B.wild
C.violent
D.poor
52.A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as"C".
A.working like a dog
B.becoming sick as a dog
C.leading a dog's life
D.living in a dog-eat-dog world
53.What can we learn from the text?A
A.Fierce people aren't so awful as they appear sometimes.
B.Everyone can be successful if he learns form the old.
C.It might be difficult for the young to learn new kills.
D.Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement.
54.How does the author prove his idea?B
A.By comparing and contrast.
