American parents are unique in the sense that they make decisions 33 discussing issues with their children. This way of
may not be considered valuable in other parts of the world,
where 35 cultural values drive parents to rule with an iron fist. By involving their children in the decision-making process, parents are preparing them for 36 , where success is often determined by an individual's ability to make thoughtful, informed 37 .

For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured(忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and

distance mean nothing. On a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modem airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing — or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.
51. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?
A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages. B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short. C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams. D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place. 52. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?
A. By giving instructions.
B. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By giving examples.
C. By following the order of time. A. They enjoy free and relaxing travel. B. They needed the clock to tell the time. C. They preferred traveling on the horseback. D. They could travel with their master. . What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Air travel benefits people and industries. B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel. C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel. D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.
B
During lectures, my students often ask which is the most difficult language to learn. It’s not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. For a person's first language these factors are unimportant because people learn their mother tongue naturally. So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
53. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
Studies have shown that native speakers of Spanish find Portuguese much easier to learn than, say, native speakers of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different. So a person's first language affects their learning of a second language. The greater the differences between a second language and the first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many Westerners think that Chinese is the hardest language to learn because of its writing system and pronunciation. But for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing is less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.
A recent study reported that British embassy staff found that the second hardest language to learn was Japanese. More surprising was the language that they found most problematic — Hungarian. In this case the issue was not the writing system (as both English and Hungarian use a similar alphabet) but grammatical complexity. Hungarian has 35 cases (forms of a noun according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc.) and it was this that caused the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty. One suspects they would have even more problems with Tabassaran, a Caucasian language with 48 cases, if they ever had to learn it.
Teachers and the circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles,as does each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.
Put simply,no language is easy Io learn well,though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world. 55. Which language do the British Embassy staff think most difficult to learn? A. Japanese.
B. Caucasian.
C. Hungarian.
D. Tabasaran.
56. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor affecting language learning? A. The amount of time spent studying the new language. B. The environment in which language learning takes place. C. The reasons a person has for learning the new language.
D. The similarity between a person’s first language and the new language. 57. Why does the author believe there's no single hardest language? A. All languages are equally difficult to learn well. B. With enough effort, any language can be learned well. C. There is not enough evidence to make any final conclusion. D. To different people, the hardest language is different. 58. The writer is probably_____. A. a language learner
C
Sweet potato makes a comeback as a popular food. It’s healthier, too!
B. a language teacher D. an embassy official
C. a newspaper journalist
Once considered a fringe food by the U.S. culinary mainstream, sweet potatoes are fast becoming popular everywhere from fast food chains to gourmet restaurants and the White House table.
Three years ago, the \"Wall Street Journal\" wrote in a front page article that except for their use in an iconic, marshmallow-smothered Thanksgiving dish, sweet potatoes were a wholly uninteresting food. Yet over the past two years, the number of restaurants offering a sweet potato-based side dish has increased 40 percent. Food giant ConAgra just spent $155 million to open the world's first plant devoted entirely to frozen sweet potato products, and U.S. farmers are planning to harvest a record-setting 2 billion pound crop.
“It’s not something we believe is a fad,” said Andy Johnston of ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston. According to research conducted by ConAgra, 30 percent of sweet potato eaters report consuming the vegetable several times per month. Only 12 percent eat them only during the Thanksgiving and winter holiday season.
Analysts attribute the sweet potato’s growing popularity in large part to sweet potato fries, which account for the majority of the vegetable's presence in U.S. restaurants. In fact, Google searches for “sweet potato fries” increased 40 percent over the past year.
Sweet potatoes have also become popular among more conscious eaters, however, in part because they are high in vitamins and have a low glycemic (血糖的) index in spite of their sweetness. Both Weight Watchers and the South Beach Diet have recommended sweet potatoes, roasted in a little oil rather than fried, and doctors are recommending them for diabetics. “Within the diabetic community, it’s become pretty common knowledge that sweet potatoes are good for you, so there’s a groundswell because so many people have diabetes (糖尿病) now,” said chef Michel Nischan, who helps host a TV show for people with diabetes. 59. This passage mainly wants to tell us that . A. American high officials have started to eat sweet potatoes
B. expensive restaurants have begun to serve customers with sweet potatoes C. sweet potatoes are becoming a popular food in the United States D. the habit of eating sweet potatoes was formed a long time ago 60. From this passage we can infer that ConAgra . A. is one of the biggest food-making companies in the US B. is one of the richest food-selling companies in the us
C. has asked American farmers to produce more sweet potatoes this year D. has produced large quantities of sweet potato-based side dishes 61. Which of the following may NOT encourage the sweet potatoes’ popularity? A. US restaurants recommend sweet potatoes to their customers as a vegetable.
B. Google searches show more and more people are becoming interested in sweet potatoes. C. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and low in glycemic index. D. Sweet potatoes taste very sweet.
62. Chef Michel Nischan will certainly agree that . A. sweet potatoes should be fried B. sweet potatoes should be roasted
C. sweet potatoes are food for diabetics (糖尿病患者) D. sweet potatoes can be made into many good dishes

James Cooke, of Islip, N.Y., can’t recognize other people. “I see eyes, nose, cheekbones, but no face,” he said. “I’ve even passed by my son and daughter without recognizing them.”
He is not the only one. Those with prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, can see perfectly well, but their brains are unable to piece together the information needed to understand that a collection of features represents an individual’s face. The condition is a neurological(神经病学的)mystery, but new research has shed light on this strange disease.
Some scientists had believed that faces and voices, the two main ways people recognize one another, were processed separately by the brain. Indeed, a condition parallel to prosopagnosia, called phonagnosia, similarly leaves a person unable to distinguish a familiar voice from an unfamiliar one. But by testing for these two conditions at the same time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute recently found evidence that face and voice recognition may be linked in a unique person-recognition system.
The scientists observed the brain activity of 19 healthy volunteers as they were led through tasks that tested their ability to recognize both faces and voices. The researchers found that regions of the brain, associated with facial recognition, are directly linked to regions responsible for voice recognition.
This research helps explain why a person with prosopagnosia may still have difficulty determining who a person is even after he has begun to speak. The challenge for scientists is to find out where this system breaks down. Are these connections in the brain missing entirely, or are people unable to recognize faces and voices simply unable to use these links in some way?
It is unclear how many people have these conditions. Many don’t even realize they have problems with facial or voice recognition. While some develop these difficulties after a brain- injury, others develop it in childhood.
63. James Cooke can’t recognize other people because ______. A. his eyesight is failing
B. he prefers to walk hurriedly D. he can’t tell facial expression B. It may cause damage to the brain.
C. he suffers from face blindness
. Which of the following is true of prosopagnosia? A. It is a common disease among adults. C. It is always an inborn disease. A. voice blindness
D. There has been no cure for it.
B. memory losses
65. According to Paragraph 3, the underlined word “phonagnosia” may be known as______. C. facial injuries
D. mental illness
66. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. The causes of the two diseases have been discovered recently. B. The scientists are quite satisfied with the evidence and findings. C. Some people have problems with both facial and voice recognition. D. A lot of patients have been assisted medically and psychologically.

Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment. Children's relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school, and children with fewer friends are more likely dropping out of school, becoming sad and other problems.
Making and Keeping Friends Is More Than Child’s Play
When 6-year-old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning, her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie. Though they were only separated by a weekend, the girls “ran right into each other’s arms and hugged,” recalls Rachel’s mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert. “It was like a scene from a movie.”
Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child. Experts agree that friendship is not simply child's play, but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.
A Skill for Life
“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood,” says Dr. Robbie Adler-Tapia, psychologist with the Center for Children's Health & Life Development.
Researcher William Hartup states, \"Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive (认知的) development.\" Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior, but rather, how well a child gets along with other children.
The work of Arizona State University proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids, so is the lack of friends detrimental. Good Friendships Don't Just Happen
Experts agree that it is basic for children to develop high-quality friendships. But, researchers warn, these friendships don’t necessarily just happen. Often, a good friendship begins with involved parents.
Psychologist Dr. Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.
Bad Company
Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child’s friendships. “When she was in 1st grade, her supposed 'best friend’ began calling her names and threatening to hurt her,” says Mindy Miller. “My daughter wasn't allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class. It really crushed (压跨) her spirit. I told my daughter she didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”
\"I'll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him,\" Adler-Tapia says. \"I don't look at it as manipulation (操纵), just positive parental involvement. \" 67. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to show that ________. A. childhood friendship is of great benefit to their growth
B. a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems
C. it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life D. Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend
68. The underlined word \"detrimental\" could be replaced by _______. A. valuable B. disappointing ______.
A. social skills and good study habits
B. school grades and classroom behaviors C. academic success and social adaptation D. positive parental involvement and social skills
70. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr. Robbie Adler-Tapia agrees that ______. A. parents should regard making friends as something that just happens B. it’s wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships C. parents only need to help their children to deal with difficult social situations D. parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can

68.D 词义猜测题。根据文中的“The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids, so is the lack of friends detrimental. “可知,”“detrimental”与句中的“beneficial”相对应,因此“detrimental”与“harmful”同义。
69.D 细节理解题。根据Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen中的“a good friendship begins whith involved parents”与 “kids should be taught social skills in much th same way they are taught math and reading” 可知,D项正确。

There is no doubt that everybody makes promises all his life. But just as the proverb goes, “promise is debt”. Once you have made a promise, you must keep it; otherwise, you won’t be worthy of good faith. What’s worse, you will lose your friends and even fame.
Take myself for example. One day when playing with my good friend Xiao Ming, I saw a beautiful bird flying in the sky. Liking it so much, I asked Xiao Ming to draw it for me and I would give him my doll in rectum. But after he finished the drawing, I broke my word and refused to give him the doll because I liked it so much too. Since then, I have lost my good friend.
Therefore, I think what is said can never be what is unsaid. It is necessary and important for you to think it twice before making a promise. Once you have made it, no matter what happens to you, you should keep to it. Only in this way can you be reliable, and establish good fame.
