17.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.In fact,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 conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?
First of all,students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable.A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱).For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime.Laughter over the 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 practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决):stay calm.Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well.Rude words,namecalling,and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire.On the other hand,soft 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 strategy (策略) 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 nonthreatening questions to clarify the speaker's position.Then the two people should change roles.
Finally,students need to consider what they are bearing.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 accomplish.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 clearer,the conflict often simply becomes smaller.Even if it doesn't,careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools,but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence.After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program,according to Educators for Social Responsibility,"64percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92percent of the students felt better about themselves".Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with 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 本文是一篇说明文.主要介绍了校园暴力,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,在全国推行反对校园暴力的教育.

解答 32.D    主旨大意题. 根据文章第一段"Given that this is the case,why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems,drive cars,or stay physically fit?及最后一段"conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country"可知,为什么不学会像处理其它问题一样处理冲突呢?我们要在所有学校教育学生如何解决冲突.故选D.
33.B    推理判断题.根据文章第二段"A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱)."可知,绝大多数校园暴力都是很小的侮辱引发的,说明细小的冲突会引起暴力,故B正确.
34.C   细节理解题.根据文章第五段"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 clearer,the conflict often simply becomes smaller."可知,学生要多问自己到底有什么大不了的事,非要发生冲突不可,问题搞清楚了,冲突小多了.故选C.
35.C   推理判断题.根据最后一段"conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country"可知,我们要在全国推行如何教育学生正确处理冲突.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

10.When I was six years old,my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book.I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number.When I couldn't find it,I just dialed seven numbers.When someone answered,I'd ask,"Is that Michael Jordan?"Obviously,I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center.It was very big.I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building.The recreation center had a special smell in it,sort of like hot rubber.I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard.The atmosphere on the court was carefree.Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot.We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it,and my confidence grew.I played it all the time until the sixth grade.As soon as junior high school came,I stopped playing basketball and focused on school.When senior high school started,I tried out for the school team and made it.We worked hard.Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own.Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power,because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball.If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups,we could practice dribbling (运球) and shooting more.It's just us,the ball,the court and the net.But don't take my word for it.See for yourself.After all,I'm just one kid playing the game.

8.Disease,poverty,hate,love-Charles Dickens'stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age.Two hundred years on,his stories still speak volumes(有意义)across the world,proving that Dickens'legacy(遗产)was far greater than just"great literature"
     February 7 marks the 20th anniversary of the writer's birthday.To mark this date,BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modem world.Let's take a look at two of them.
A white Christmas
     Dickens is described  as"the man who invented Christmas"-not the religious festival,but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.In the early 19th century,Christmas was barely worth mentioning,according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt.The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day-unthinkable in the West nowadays,when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.
  Many people believe that Dickens'popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come.In his classic novel,A Christmas Carol,he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas,but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-home enjoyments,affections and hopes.
    In his biography of Dickens,Peter Ackroyd wrote:"Dickens Can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modem idea of Christmas."
"Dickensian"poverty
      Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian(the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from l837 to 1901)London.
He helped popularize the term"red tape"to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy(官僚作风)in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and  poorer members of society.
"Dickensian"has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty.In 2009,when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation(剥夺权利)in some areas of Britain,she did not use words like"terrible"or"horrific",but rather described it as"life mirroring the times of Dickens".

  A.An introduction to Charles Dickens'classic novels.
  B.Charles dickens'impact on the world.
  C.Charles Dickens'amazing characters.
  D.Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world.
61.Why is Dickens called"the man who invented Christmas"?B
  A.Because he created the religious festival.
  B.Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas.
  C.Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations. 
  D.Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.
62.According to the article,the phrase"red tape"refers toD.
  A.rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
  B.a situation in which poor members of society are hurt.
  C.conflict between people in power and weaker people

The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really stunning.He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford,so one of the greatest of all time.Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology,he also revolutionized American business.Steve Jobs was remembered as a"great visionary and leader"and a"marketing genius."

12.Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.During the experiment,Dr Gerodimos said there were already  signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said:"They're reporting withdrawal symptoms,overeating,feeling nervous,isolated and disconnected."
During their 24-hour test,three of the experiment's participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote:"Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being  aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
From Caroline Scott,we read:"I didn't expect it,but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to,but It's not something l would like to do again!"
And Charlotte Gay wrote:"I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my  mobile;not  only is it a social device,it's  my main access point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
71.What can we learn about the volunteers?B
 A.Volunteers didn't write down about their day offline.
 B.Volunteers weren't allowed to use any media for 24 hours.
 C.Volunteers  were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.
 D.Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.
72.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants'feelings?

73.Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott?C
 A.The media ban affected his temperature.
 B.His work went on smoothly without the media.
 C.His work was carried on hard without the media.
 D.His life was empty without the radio or newspapers.
74.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A
 A.People should use the media devices reasonably.
 B.People can easily survive the media devices addict.
 C.People can spend more time sleeping in the future.
 D.People spend about half the time using the media devices.

13.Have you ever wished for a thirty-hour day?Surely this extra time would relieve the tremendous pressure which we live.Our lives leave a trail of unfinished tasks.Unanswered letters,unvisited friends,unwritten articles,and unread books haunt quiet moments when we stop to evaluate.We desperately need relief.
But would a thirty-hour day really solve the problem?Wouldn't we soon be just as frustrated as we are now with our twenty-four allotment?A mother's work is never finished,and neither is that of any manager,student,teacher,minister,or anyone else we know.Nor will the passage of time help us catch up.Children grow in number and age to require more of our time.Greater experience brings more exacting assignments.So we find ourselves working more and enjoying it less.We are accuslomed to working without stop.
When we stop to evaluate,we realize that our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time; it is basically the problem of priorities(优先顺序).Actually hard work does not hurt us.We all know what it is to go full speed for long hours,totally involved in an important task.The resulting weariness is matched by a sense of achievement and joy.Not hard work,but doubt and misgiving (疑虑) produce anxiety as we review a month or year and become oppressed by the pile of unfinished tasks.We sense demands have driven us onto a reef of frustration.We confess,quite apart from our sins,"we have left undone those things,which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done."To do the urgent thing or to finisnh the important thing,is a sharp question.
Several years ago an experienced cotton-mill manager said to me,"Your greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out of the important."He didn't realized how hard his maxim hit.It often returns to haunt and rebuke me by raising the critical problem of priorities.
We live in constant tension between the urgent and the important.The problem is that the important task rarely must be done today,or even this week.The urgent task calls for instant action-endless demands,pressure every hour and day.
A man's home is no longer his castle; it is no longer a place away from urgent tasks because the telephone breaches the walls with imperious(专横的) demands.The momentary appeal of these tasks seems irresistible and important,and they devour our energy.But in the light of time's perspective their deceptive prominence fades; with a sense of loss we recall the important tasks pushed aside.We realize we've become slaves to the"tyranny(暴政) of the urgent."

51.The reason why we sometimes wish to have a thirty-hour day is that weC.
A.have too much work to complete  
B.need more time to enjoy our lives
C.need longer hours to ease pressure                
D.are used to working without stop
52.From Paragraph 3,we find anxiety increases when weD.
A.stop to think about our dilemma 
B.go full speed working at our task
C.are doing meaningless things    
D.recall lots of unfinished work
53.The motto that hits the writer tells usB.
A.to finish the urgent and the important thing
B.to avoid the urgent pushing out the important
C.the urgent thing shouldn't be done instantly
D.the important thing is different from the urgent
54.The writer presents the article to remind us thatA.
A.the urgent is not always to come first
B.the problem of time shortage is tough
C.the important is not always depressing
D.the way to deal with the urgent is hard.
