People say teenagers are no good.They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower.And at least some of the time those things are true.But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.

    I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral(葬礼).I didn’t expect the event to affect me.Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.

    Then her teenage grandson stepped forward.With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten.Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me.She never failed to see light in any situation.When our family dog would literally attact her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.

    “She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city.But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling.“That was Nana’s way.”

    Through a muffled sob, he continued.“Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to brag.”

    Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage.She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life.That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”

    There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time.The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.

    When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and est friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual.He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults.He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.

    All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself.And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.

1.From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ____________.

    A.was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa

    B.liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her

    C.could see everything around her though she was old

    D.had great influence over the boy when she was alive

2.According to the first paragraph, _____________.

    A.young people should keep quiet before the public

    B.people don’t think highly of the teenagers

    C.people shouldn’t forget the young people

    D.young people are living a hard life

3.The writer wanted to tell the readers ____________.

    A.the young people were too weak to face the fact

    B.the young people had to learn to control themselves

    C.the adults could learn something valuable from the young

    D.the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

4.We can infer from the passage that the boy ___________.

    A.was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk

    B.was always very good at expressing himself

    C.practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech

    D.had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana

High school dropouts earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out(不及格).

   Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy,and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.

   “The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)student will receive a diploma(证书),and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So,if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again,John Bridgeland:"The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”

   The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US,only one state,New Mexico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher,says raising the compulsory(义务的)attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.

   “As these dropouts look back,they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”

   New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point-the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.

71.Most high school students drop out of school because _________.

A. they have failing grades               B. they take no interest in classes

C. they are discriminated against          D. they are lazy and not intelligent

72.According to the passage,which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?

A. New Hampshire                             B. Utah     

C. New  Mexico                             D. The District of Columbia

73.The underlined words “stick it out” probably means“___________”.

A. complete schooling                                       B. solve the problem  

C. love having classes                                         D. believe in themselves

74.In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to ___________.

A. analyze the reason why students quit school

B. suggest raising the compulsory attendance age

C. raise awareness of reforming high school education

D. wish to make laws to guarantee no education

75. From the passage,we can infer the following EXCEPT that ___________.

A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptable

B. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and Spanish

C. classes don't appeal to dropouts 

D. on average dropouts cannot get good jobs

Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

  Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves.University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

  “To provide enough power, we need certain methods with energy density(密度),” said Jae kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU.“The radioisotope(放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

  Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, recently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nano-electromechanical systems(M/NEWS).Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

  “People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said.“However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

  His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体).Kwon's battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

  “The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶格结构)of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said.“By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

  Together with J.David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future, they hope to increase the battery's power, shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

  I've always known that my son uses his cellphone a lot, but his cellphone bill last month really got my attention, He had received nearly 2, 000 text messages(短信), and had sent nearly as many.Of course, he was out of school for the summer, and communicating more with friends who were far away.However, I had to wonder how he found time to keep a summer job and complete a summer course in between all that typing with his thumb.

  I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal.Teenagers with cellphones send and receive an average of 2.272 text messages a month, Nielsen Mobile says, author of a book called The Dumbest GeheraiionHow the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes(危害)Our Future

  Some experts say that all that text messaging is making our children stupid, and unable to read nonverbal cues(非语言暗示)such as facial expressions, gestures, postures and other silent signals of mood and attitude.“Unlike telephoning, text messaging doesn't even allow tones or pauses to be sent to others,” says Mark Bauerlein

  Beyond that, though, I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of the trend do.Ive written before on how I initially tried to control my sons texting.But over time, Ive seen that my son suffers no apparent bad effects, and that he gains a big benefit of easy and continuing contact with many friends.Also, the time he spends texting replaces the hours teenagers used to spend on the phone; he dislikes talking on the phone, and says he really doesn't need to do so to stay in touch.

  I don't think texting makes children stupid.It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you.And it may distract them from math problems or what they have to do for school.

  I don't see that texting harms the ability of teenagers to communicate, either.My son is as good at interpreting nonverbal cues as any of the older members of our family.If anything, I’ve found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a distance, since he's constantly available through texting, and responds with faithfulness and speed that any mother would find reassuring(安心的).
