      Online games, social-networking web sites, and chat rooms are fascinating and motivating for teens
and help with their development. When adults look at teens today, they think what they are doing is
different and seem to be wasting a lot of time. And those activities seem quite foreign. But when we look
closely at what kids are doing, it's not much more different than what their parents did. They are hanging
out with their friends, finding romantic partners, and trying to identify themselves.
     Today's teens are being raised with technologies that allow them to have self-directed learning on
their own terms, on their own time, and without the limitations of a classroom setting. This gives the teens
a feeling of freedom. This is very different from how kids learn in school when they are handed a set
body of knowledge required to master by their teachers.
     Teens were motivated to be addicted to online because they were either driven by interest or
friendship. And there are some specific findings according to a research:
      One major finding is that there is a generation gap in how parents and teens view the teen's online
activities. Adults think the activities draw their attention from school work and are left in the dark about
what their teens are doing online. Teens, on the other hand, understand the value of the Internet and are
motivated to take part.
     Another finding shows that teens are not taking full advantage of the Internet. They are using the social
networks to chat and post photos and make friends, which are important to their development, but they
are not making use of other existing opportunities to learn about astronomy, foreign languages, and other
subjects only a few clicks away.
     Teens are also improving their social skills online by learning the basic social and technical skills
needed to interact (互相作用) in today's digital world.
     Pressure from those of the same age also takes on a new role online. Teens are reporting that they
are more motivated by those of their age online with public spaces that allow the teens to interact and
provide feedback to one another.
     While teens are using the Internet for both social and intellectual development, they are also facing
significant challenges on how to manage their relationships online.

1. The writer is probably ________.

A. a parent
B. a teenager
C. a teacher
D. a researcher

2. Which of the following best describes how the writer thinks about teens and online activities?

A. Supportive.
B. Objective.

A. Internet is a source of learning for teens.
B. Outside classroom learning is equally valuable.
C. Teens need to learn more effectively online.
D. Parents should also learn to use Internet.

    [1] When you get in your car,you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to
have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
    [2] Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life:               .
And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to bug it
more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
    [3] The costs are becoming more and more evident,and I don't mean just the monthly bill.
Dr. Chris Knippers,a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California,reports that the
overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:
a barrier to one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
    [4] Sounds extreme,but we've all witnessed the evidence:The person at a restaurant who talks on
the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table；the woman who talks on the
phone in the car, ignoring her husband；the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,
avoiding contact with kids all around him.
    [5] Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction
is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke
University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their
most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,e-mail and instant messaging,
in other words,Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents."Just as
more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have
produced fewer friends."he says.

     Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society. We should
return to the old traditions of family and community, and then we will have a better life. To what extent do
you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
     In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize(区分优先次序) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more
self-absorbed and self-concerned.
     Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go
perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that
people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
     In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness,
both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things
though such behaviors were more condemned(谴责) then. But we cannot ignore the fact that people in the
past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern twins.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some
people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I
personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the
development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
     In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong
outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and
generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.

     Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood
behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people
across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many
adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped
cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
     Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the
Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is
actually reading a children's book!
     "Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like
emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at
Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults
and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He
may be right.
     Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood
because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly
show their fear of society and adulthood.
1. We can infer from the article that _____.
A. Kidults like to have vitamins very much
B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys
C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults
D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much
2. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _____.
A. it can help kidults feel relaxed
B. it is helpful to solve some social problems
C. it can make people loyal to one's parents
D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids
3. According to the writer, _____.
A. our society is very dull
B. kidults have mental problems
C. being a kidult is nothing wrong
D. some people can never grow up

根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中的选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余项。
A. Heat food thoroughly
B. Store food properly
C. Cook food thoroughly
D. Serve food safely
E. Prepare food safely
F. Shop smartly
1. (     )      
     Prevention food poisoning starts with your trip to the supermarket. Pick up your packaged and canned
foods first. Buy cans and jars that look perfect. Look for any expiration dates on the labels and never buy
outdated food. Likewise, check the"use by" or"sell by" date on dairy products such as cottage cheese, cream
cheese, yogurt, and sour cream and pick the ones that will stay fresh longest in your refrigerator.
2. (     )
     After shopping, get home as soon as you can. Then put food into the refrigerator or freezer right away.
Make sure to set the refrigerator temperature to 40℉ and the freezer to 0℉. Check temperatures with a
thermometer. Place raw meat and seafood in containers in the refrigerator to prevent their juices from dripping
on other foods. Eggs always go in the refrigerator.
3. (     )
     Wash hands and surfaces often. Bacteria can be spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards
and counter tops. To prevent this, wash hands with soap and hot water before and after handling food, and
after using the bathroom or handling pets. Wash everything else before and after it touches food. Wash cloths
before you use them again for anything else.
4. (     )
     Cook food thoroughly until it is done. For example, cooked red meat looks brown inside. Use a food
thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, casseroles and other food. Use a thermometer
with a small-diameter stem. Insert the thermometer 1 to 2 inches into the center of the food and wait 30
seconds to ensure an accurate measurement. Check temperature in several places to be sure the food is evenly
heated.
5. (     )
     Use clean containers to store and serve food. When a dish is empty or nearly empty, replace with fresh
container of food, removing the previous container. Place cold food in containers on some ice. Place the
container inside a deep pan filled with ice to keep food cold. Once food is thoroughly heated on stove top,
oven or in microwave oven, keep food hot by using a heat source. Place food in chafing dishes, preheated
steam tables, warming trays and / or slow cookers.

    For anyone who is determined to be a fashion (时尚) designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in
college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their eady 20s, making
a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.
     Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and
extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season's collections. It is extremely competitive and there is
the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It
also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. "We try to warn
people before they come to us about how tough it is."says Lydia Kemeny, the Heed of Fashion at St.
Martin's School of Art in London. "And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely
necessary."
     This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their
time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good
college won't be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. "We don't walk our foot on the
blossoming (绽放的) flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of
price, producing abitity,marketing and so on."
      Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of selfexpression as such, although there
is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees
of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style ot
their employer. Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt
to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at
both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design
inexpensively may well be demanding.

1. Which of the following is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. Talent in fashion.
B. Good marks at college.
C. Ability to create new designs.
D. Business skills in fashion industry.

2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. Fashion designers are highly motivated and really determined.
B. Good preparations for the next season can reduce stress.
C. Consumers' appetite for new ideas keeps changing.
D. Advertisament business is very competitive.

3. How does St.Martin's School of Art train her students of fashion?

A. To encourage the new students to design freely with imagination.
B. To require students to develop their creativity in their designing.
C. To demand students to make pretty dresses for companies.
D. To offer commercial courses for the new students.

4. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Lydia Kemeny's opinion.
B. The competitive business world.
C. The warning to the young designers.
D. The real situation in fashion industry.

     The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water.With
97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water
needs careful management, especially in agriculture.Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems
strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural
industries experience constant water shortages.
      Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs
of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high.Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but
there is also an environmental cost to be considered.Where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams,
houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed.Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but
it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other.Each country must therefore rely on the
management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
      This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores.
In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for
farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
      Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of
irrigation water from underground reserves.Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can
only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.

1. From the first two paragraphs we learn that________.

    A. much of the world's water is available for use
    B. people in high rainfall countries feel lucky
    C. the costs of water redistribution should be considered
    D. water can be easily carried through pipes across the world

2. Which of the following is true?

    A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%.
    B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages.
    C. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.
    D. Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley.

3. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

    A. Steps to improving water use management.
    B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.
    C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.
    D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply.

4. The text is mainly about________.

    A. water supply and increasing population
    B. water use management and agriculture
    C. water redistribution and wildlife protection
    D. water shortages and environmental protection

     I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded
that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for
mental illness 50 years ago.
     Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation
(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a
growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
     Considering that we_can't_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.
     At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
     To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more
sleep.
     Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
     Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended
Harvard or Yale.
     Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a
good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.
1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________.
A. probably suffered less from anxiety
B. were considered less individualistic
C. were less isolated physically
D. were probably less selfcentered
2. What does the author mean by saying "we can't turn the clock back" in the third paragraph?
A. It's impossible to forget the past.
B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.
C. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________.
A. illogical  
B. confusing
C. surprising  
D. questionable
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.
B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.
C. Exercise does not help to lessen children's anxiety.
D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.
5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________.
A. to lower their expectations for them
B. to set a good model for them to follow
C. to get them more involved socially
D. to improve them with a safer environment
