阅读下列三篇短文，从每题所给的四个选现（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（A）
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships. I believe it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate (激怒) their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in music and entertainers. This is not their motive. They feel isolated from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles annoy their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the loser; you cannot win but at least you keep your honour. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you intend to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will offer you the authority to do what you want to do.
46．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents.
B．The dominance of the parents over their children.
C．The teenagers’ criticism of their parents.
D．The teenagers’ ability to deal with crises.
47．Why do teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles?
A．Because they have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste.
B．Because they want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.
C．Because they have no other way to enjoy themselves better.
D．Because they want to make their parents angry.
48．Teenagers don’t want their parents to approve of whatever they do because
A．they have already been accepted into the adult world
B．they feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults
C．they are not likely to be superior to the adults
D．they have a desire to be self-independent
49．In order to improve parent-child relationships , teenagers are advised to be .
A．cooperative B．responsible C．obedient D．creative
50．The author is primarily talking to .
A．parents of teenagers B．teenagers C．teachers of teenagers D．newspaper readers
（B）
Time and how we experience it have always confused us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（摆脱）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a pretty girl for two hours, it seems like a minute. but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.
They also indicate that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more quickly it seems to pass. For instance, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real notion of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.
When days become as identical as beads on s string, they blend together, and even months become a single day. To count his , try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day－to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is another way to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seen so full and long is that these are the days learning and discovery.
51．When people live an identical and routine life, time seems to .
A．stop B．slow down C．speed up D．be in a psychological sense
52．The quotation in the first paragraph is used to show .
A．the difference between physical time and psychological time
B．that time should not be measured by a clock.
C．that physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.
D．that with little regard of a clock or calendar, psychological time is quite puzzling
53．Which of the following examples does not make time seem to pass more rapidly?
A．A trip to a familiar place.
B．Office work with schedules and appointments.
C．Life of a businessman filled with appointments.
D．The learning of something difficult and interesting.
54．The word “novelty”(Line 4, Para.4) could be best replaced by .
A．excitement B．entertainment C．unfamiliarity D．amusement
55．What is the man idea of this passage?
A．It states the principles of time.
B．It explains why time flies and how to slow it down.
C．It describes various views about time.
D．It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.
（C）
Americans are reputed to be friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people. They incline to “compartmentalize”（划分）friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team.” “family friends ” and so forth.
Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem abrupt or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you don’t understand certain American behaviour or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become weary of listening. It doesn’t matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for instance, than deal with silence.
On the other hand, don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subject directly involve the United Stated. Because the United States is geographically distant from many other nations, some Americans tend not to be aware of what goes on in other parts of the world.
56．According to the passage, Americans’ attitude towards friendship is .
A．unusual to have only one intimate friend
B．more informal than that in other countries
C．to regard all friends as only social acquaintances
D．to divide friends into several grades
57．The phrase “highly charged ” (Line2, Para.2) most probably means .
A．extremely expensive B．much cheerful
C．highly responsible D．full of mobility and change
58．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Americans know a lot about international affairs.
B．Friendships among Americans tend to be more formal.
C．Americans always seem to be on the move.
D．Americans like to cooperate with other people.
59．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．Americans want to take part in all kinds of activities
B．curiosity is the major characteristic of Americans
C．Americans do not know how to deal with silence
D．Americans’ characters are influenced by their social and geographical environments.
60．Why do Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world?
A．Because they are not interested in other countries.
B．Because their country doesn’t have many neighbouring nations.
C．Because they are too proud of themselves.
D．Because they are too busy to learn about other countries.

One possible version:
Our living condition has been improved in the modern world. However, each coin has two sides. We also have great pressure in this society. Quite a lot of people work day and night, trying to gain as much wealth as possible. Some of us would rather get wealth than health, which is leading their health to being poorer and poorer.
In my opinion, we should pay great attention to our health because it’s the basic of our lives. It’s so important that we should not ignore it at all. If we are in poor condition of health, how can we work hard for our wealth? To be healthy, we not only have to pay attention to our physical health but also mental health, which is much more important than the former. Life would never come back to us once we lost it. Therefore, we should try to protect it and respect it.
