Katie 82
When I was a teenager, I was more responsible than today's teenagers. After school, I had to do lots of jobs at home. My parents were really angry when I didn't do my chores. Today's teenagers are lazier. They come home from school and then play computer games for the rest of the day.
Sarah 45
Young people nowadays aren't better or worse than young people in the past. Teenagers today have the same problems that we did. They're worried about finding their own identity(身份) and their own place in the world. I once read this quotation: “Children nowadays just love the easy life. They're bad mannered, have no respect for authority or for older people, and they make their teachers mad.” Do you know who said that? It was Socrates(苏格拉底). He lived about 2,400 years ago.
Patty 52
In the media, they always say that teenagers have easy life. They say they're lazy and irresponsible. But I work with young people and lots of them are responsible and hard-working. I also meet teenagers who are opposite. Isn't it the same with adults? Perhaps teenagers have more money now. And they have lots of modern gadgets like MP3 players. But those things don't always make life easier or make you happier!
Ned 23
Who says teenagers have an easy life? Exams are harder now than in the past. It's more difficult to get a job so your marks need to be higher. The media make us worry about our appearance nowadays too; so a lot of teenagers aren't happy. They think they should be taller or thinner, like the people they see on TV. Maybe the problems are different from the past. But that doesn't make life easier. It's probably the opposite!
(1)Who thinks teenagers nowadays have a harder life than teenagers in the past?
A.Katie
B.Sarah
C.Patty
D.Ned
(2)What does the underline word “opposite” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.irresponsible and lazy

D.hard-working and irresponsible
(3)What's the meaning of “quotation” in Paragraph 2 ?

(5)The best title is ___________.

C.What do teenagers today do?
D.Is life easier for teenagers today?

【答案】
(1)D
(2)A
(3)C
(4)B
(5)D
【解析】
⑴归纳总结。根据最后一段Ned的观点:现在的考试比过去更难;找工作更困难;媒体让你担心自己的容貌,所以很多青少年过得不开心,胜过不容易,故选D。
⑵词义猜测。根据第三段前两句“媒体上老是说青少年过着安逸的生活,说他们懒惰,不负责任。但是我在工作中遇到的年轻人很多都是负责任的工作努力的。我也遇到过相反的。”所以这里的opposite指的是不负责任的懒惰的人,故选A。
⑶词义猜测。根据句意:我曾经读过这样一个……“今天的孩子们喜欢安逸的生活,他们没有礼貌,不尊重权威或老人,他们让老师发疯”,你知道这是谁说的吗?是苏格拉底(伟大哲学家)说的。所以quotation是引用语,故选C。
⑷细节理解。根据第一句 I was more responsible than today’s teenagers可知Katie认为她比今天的青少年负责任,故A错误;根据Sarah说的 Teenagers today have the same problems that we did.可知她认为今天的青少年有她们当年一样的问题,故B正确;根据第三段 They say they’re lazy and irresponsible可知Patty认为今天的青少年懒,不负责任,故C错误;Ned认为今天的孩子们比他们过得难。故选B。
⑸主旨大意。本文通过四个人的看法讨论今天的青少年的生活与过去的青少年的生活的对比。A、C只关注今天;B只关注过去;故选D最佳。

【题目】 Over the last century, many building trends(潮流)have come and gone. But the buildings designed (设计) by Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the world's best-known architects (建筑), have not. The designs of this Chinese-American architects stands as his special talents to the whole world. However, the man behind the famous buildings died on May 16, at age 102.

During his long work life, Pei has left over 50 buildings with different styles (风格) around the world. According to him, it is dangerous for an architect to be marked with only one style. Instead, he was known for his eclectic style, bringing together opposite ideas into each design-East and West, ancient and modern, natural and man-made.

His style may come from his life experiences. He was born and grew up in China, and then he went to the US to study architecture at 18. He studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later at Harvard. "I've never left China, because home is a place your heart always belongs to", he once said.

Pei tried to include local (当地的) and historical ideas in his designs. When designing Suzhou Museum in the 2000s, Pei made the building go with the city. He built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs (屋顶), just like the classical Chinese gardens which Suzhou are famous for. At the same time, the lines and the windows in the roof bring something modern to the museum.

Even in Pei's 80s when he was designing the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar, he still kept learning new things. He spent months in the Middle East visiting special places. "A lasting building will always find the place where it comes from," Pei said. That may explain why he and his designs have stood the test of time.

【题目】 Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.

The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins. They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school, they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate(刺激)a desire to own a gun.

Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild land habitat. Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? They seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.

Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same night to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunner like to describe what they do as character building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.

1According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because _______.

A.they have little knowledge of itB.it helps to build human character

C.it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD.they want to keep wildlife under control

2The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means _______.

A.formB.conditionC.painD.sadness

3According to the text, the films children watch at school actually _______.

A.teach them how to deal with guns safelyB.praise hunting as character-building

C.describe hunting as an exerciseD.encourage them to have guns of their own

A.blame the majority of peopleB.worry about the existence of wildlife

C.be in favor of warD.be in support of character-building
