Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer , Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son : suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents . “ The door to his room is always shut .” Joanna noticed .
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter . “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk ,” said Mark . “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something , Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady . The problem is figuring out which time is which .”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds . “In fact , parents are first on the list .” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers . “This completely changes during the teen years .” Riera explained . “They talk to their friends first , then maybe their teachers , and their parents last .”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them . To break down the wall of silence , parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say , and try to find ways to talk and write to them . And they must give their children a mental break , for children also need freedom , though young . Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend , not a manager , with their children is a better way to know them .

One of the greatest killers in the western world is heart disease. The death rate(率) from the disease has been increasing at a surprising speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people die of heart disease a day. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress(压力)in their work.
However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U. S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical(外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis(强调)on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques(技术). Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky(有风险的) a few years ago are now performed every day in U. S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery（外科）.
Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery— even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary—because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.
60. What effect has modern technology had on medicine?
A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment
B. It has helped save the lives of most patients
C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.
D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.
61. “To do this”( in paragraph 3) means “______”.
A. to help patients recover
B. to increase the number of heart surgeries
C. to get back the money spent on the equipment
D. to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease
62. The author would agree that________ .
A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions
C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before
D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease
63. What would be the best tile for the passage?
A. The Greatest Killer in the West
B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent
C. Modern Technology and Heart Surgery
D. Heart Surgery: Advantages and Disadvantages
C
There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington D. C. has the National Gallery of Art(国家美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum Florida International University(FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. But it does so without a building, or even a wall, for its drawings and paintings.
It is said that FIU is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically(采用电子手段)by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs(软盘)to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光)printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
64. The main purpose of this text is to give information about______ .
A. famous museums throughout the world
B. a computer art museum in Miami, U.S.A.
C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
D. latest development in computer art
65. To see the art in the FIU museum, your special needs include______ .
A. floppy discs
B. a computer and a printer
C. pictures and drawings on paper
D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
66. What are stored in this museum?

A few years ago, an Englishman called Roy Jones went on holiday to a small seaside town in the west of England. He was swimming in the sea one day when, as he opened his mouth, his false teeth fell out and floated away. The following year, Mr. Jones returned to the same town. As he was having dinner in a local café one evening, he mentioned the story of his lost teeth to the manager. The manager looked surprised. He explained that he had found a set of false teeth on the beach last month. Then he asked Roy Jones if he wanted to try them on. “OK”, said Mr. Jones. “I suppose it won’t do any harm.” When the manager brought him the teeth, Mr. Jones put them into his mouth, and laughed and laughed. They were his.
In 1987, an American couple called Jane and Robert Bentley went for a picnic on a beach in California. When they returned home, Mrs. Bentley realized that she had lost her wedding ring. It wasn’t a lot of money but it was valuable to Jane Bentley. The Bentleys drove straight back to the beach, and searched for the ring for three hours, but could not find it. A few months later, Mr. Bentley went fishing off the same beach. As he pulled a large crab out of the sea, he noticed that there was something attached to one of its claws. It was his wife’s wedding ring!
At the end of the 19th century, a young woman called Rose Harcourt was on her honeymoon in Barmouth, North Wales, when she lost a gold bracelet her husband had given her as a wedding gift. Feeling very upset, she went straight to the police stations and asked if anyone had found her bracelet. Unfortunately, no one had. Twenty-five years later, the Harcourts returned to Barmouth to celebrate their wedding anniversary. They were sitting on the beach one day when Mrs. Harcourt noticed something gold in the sand by the edge of the sea. She walked down to see what it was, and discovered her gold bracelet that had been missing for 25 years.

A new study shows that large amounts of vitamins and minerals can slow the loss of sight linked to aging. The condition is called age-related macular degeneration or A-M-D. The disease is a major cause of blindness among old people. Doctors don’t know what causes it.
The disease destroys the central part of the retia(视网膜), the cells of the back of the eye that gather light. The first sign of A-M-D usually is a loss of visual（视觉的） clearness. People with the disease have trouble reading, driving and recognizing faces. They can’t see clearly through the center of their eyes. They must look at things from the sides of their eyes. Over time, A-M-D can cause blindness.
The National Eye Institute carried out the six-year study. Almost 5,000 people in 11 areas of the USA took part. They were between the ages of 55 and 80. Some of the people had more severe （严重的）forms of the disease than others.
The researchers tested a combination（联合、结合） of large amounts of vitamins and minerals. Some people in the study were given the mineral zinc. Others took the vitamins C, E. A third group received both the zinc（锌） and vitamins. The remaining people took inactive substances called placegbos(安慰剂).
The people in the study were in three groups. Based on the severity of their disease, the researchers compared the vision abilities and other conditions of the patients after 5 years of treatment. Their findings were published in the Archives of Ophthalmology(眼科学).
The scientists say the combination of vitamins and zinc had no effect on patients with the least severe form of A-M-D. However, they say the vitamins and zinc helped people with more serious A-M-D. The treatment cut the risk of developing the most severe form of A-M-D by about 25%. The vitamins and zinc also prevented some vision loss for those patients already suffering severe A-M-D. The patients taking zinc and vitamins separately also were helped but not as much as those taking both. Earlier studies had shown that people who eat large amounts of fruits and vegetables containing important vitamins are at lower risk of developing the eye disease.
72. The disease of A-M-D can lead to ________.
A. blindness B. visual clearness C. visual loss D. cataract
73.If someone suffers from the least severe form of A-M-D, it is impossible for him to ________.
A. lose his sight B. have trouble in reading
C. see clearly through the center of their eyes D. drive with less danger
74.According to what they take, the scientists carried out study and divided those people into___.
A. two groups B. three groups C. four groups D. five groups
75.As a healthy person, we should eat more ________to prevent the disease, A-M-D.
A .mineral and zinc B. vitamins C. vitamin and zinc D. fresh fruits and vegetables

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
A big part of being an effective team member is being a good listener. Do you think your listening skills could use some improving? Simply remember the LADDER to become a better listener.
Look at the person speaking to you.
If you make eye contact, the speaker feels like he has your undivided attention. If an individual
comes into your office to talk, stop what you're doing.
Ask questions.
This shows you're interested and that you're hearing what he's saying.
Don't interrupt.
When you interrupt, the speaker feels you're not interested in what he's saying and will be frustrated by the inability to finish a complete thought. Take the time to listen – just relax and open your ears!
Don't change the subject.
Changing the subject indicates that your mind is elsewhere. It shows _____________what's being said at that moment, and this makes the speaker feel insignificant.
Respond verbally and non-verbally.
Using an enthusiastic tone shows you're interested in what the speaker is saying. Smiling helps too! Avoid crossing your arms since this can be interpreted as being closed off. If you're speaking with someone who's sitting, you should sit too. Standing over someone is too authoritative and may make the other person feel uncomfortable.
If you're unsure whether you're a good listener or not, simply take the following test. In your next meeting or conversation, make a mental note or, even better, jot down on a piece of paper the number of times you interrupt. The fewer marks there are on your paper, the better listener you are! This seems like a silly test, but you may be surprised by the quantity of marks on your paper. After all, the worst listeners usually aren't aware that their listening skills need some attention or improvement.
76.What’s the best title of the passage ? (within 10 words )
77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
You think it is unnecessary to improve your listening skills because they are good enough.
78.Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (within 10 words)
79.Which of the suggestions do you think is the best for you? Why? (within 30 words)
80. Translate the underlined sentence in the second paragraph into Chinese.
