   In Africaj wild baboons(狒狒) like banding together to find food and protect each other. They may not be the smartest species,but like all animals,survival instincts are programmed into their DNA. They know that being together makes them safer.

   Now think about your school. Sure,no one is trying to eat you alive,but you too are a social animal. And youre one who has been thrown into a fierce environment. From day one,you sense that theres safety in numbers. And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs,you feel more secure. “When I first walked into -my new high school last year,I was so nervous,”says Mike,rarJjTBliS=f 15,a high school student in New York City.“Everyone sat and walked together,in twos or threes — sometimes as a ‘group of five or more people. I didn’ t understand how I would ever belong.

  Mike isnt alone. In a survey,63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular,and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups.

   It is believed that to be popular is to be liked. But all popular people arent necessarily liked. They just make rules. Popular groups arent the only ones making rules. Zoe,a freshman from New York,says that even her close crew,which calls itself the “booknerds” (書呆子) ,” has unspoken guidelines. When Zoe wears makeup or a dress,her friends act like she's betrayed them: “They’ 11 say ,‘ Oh,she's painting her nails. She's a popular girl now., They’ re joking,but theyre not,if you know what I mean. It makes me upset."

   “Because of the way the teen brain works,differences are seen as threatening,” says researcher Alexandra Robbins. “But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood."

   Take,for example,Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5. In high school,he was a “nerdy,awkward kid crazy about music.w Now he's successful and famous. Then there,s Taylor Swift: Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her,she put her energy into songwriting.

25. When Mike first came to his high school,he.

   A. was excited to make new friends

   B. was proud of his new pretty school

   C. was pretty nervous about his coming exams

   D. was worried about finding new companions

26. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?

   A. Most of us like popular people.

   B. Only popular groups make rules.

   C. Being popular is important to students.

   D. There are always some rules in a group.

27. Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress,her friends.

   A. praise her   B. appear unhappy

   C. are proud of her   D. are envious of her

28. Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student?

   A. She was very popular.

   B. She had many friends.

   C. She was devoted to her hobby.

   D. She was one of the coolest kids.

25. D 26. D 27. B 28. C

本文是議論文。學生們?yōu)榱擞邪踩谐3=Y伴而行。

25. D.細節(jié)理解題。由第二段末的1 was so nervous ... how I would ever belong 可知。

26. D.推理判斷題。由第四段中的 Popular groups aren’ t the only ones ... unspoken guidelines 可推斷, 一群人中總是存在一些規(guī)則。

27. B.推理判斷題。由第四段末的her friends act like she* s betrayed them ... They’ re joking,but they,re not,if you know what I mean. It makes me upset可推斷,看到Zoe化著妝或穿著 連衣裙,她的號稱“書呆子”的朋友們 會顯得不開心。

28. C.細節(jié)理解題。由文章末句 Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her,she put her energy into songwriting 可知,Taylor Swift學生時代專心于她的愛好—— 歌曲創(chuàng)作。

                                Taking good notes

   Have you ever stared at your heavy textbook,your piles of handouts and wished you knew just what questions your teacher planned to put on the next big test? Lacking a crystal ball,most students feel they have no choice but to look through all that material,drill it into their brains,and hope they can remember the right parts at test time.

   36 If you learn the best ways to take good notes,you'11 make the job of studying for tests a lot easier from now on.

   Keep up with your assigned textbook reading.Come to class with an intefest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by thinking about and expecting the lecture and by pre-reading the text. 37

   Write down main ideas and underline or highlight them. Main ideas give you the “big pictureof information,the reasons why events took place. Write out a main idea whenever you think you hear one. 39 This kind of notetaking helps you connect related information,making it easier for you to remember it for a test later on.

   Use abbreviations and symbols to make notetaking easier. Here are a few simple ones:

   + plus,and

   = equal,same as,similar,like eg for example w/o without

   Long live language. That's the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councillor Amaijeet Sohi voiced when they declared Feb. 21 to be International Mother Language Day (IMLD) in Edmonton,the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta.

   The pair were on hand for the International and Heritage Languages Association's (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.

   “Keeping languages alive is important for the richness of our culture and the diversity that strengthens Edmonton,” said Iveson.

There are nearly 7,000 unique languages spoken worldwide,but according to data from the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) half of those languages are at risk of going extinct in just a few generations.

   For example,there are currently over 3 ,000 languages spoken throughout Africa. This sounds impressive until you realize that there were over 10 ,000 languages spoken on the continent before colonization during the 19th century.

   “People who lose their language experience suffering,” said Olenka Bilash,professor of second language education at the University of Alberta. Bilash likened the loss of language to the loss of cultural identity.

   “As a multicultural society,it is very important to continue to preserve and pass on to future generations the language,culture,traditions and customs that we bring to Canada,” said IHLA president Olga Prokhorova.

   While the City of Edmonton's citizen and new arrival centre in city hall provides services in 150 languages,Bilash said research shows that “most people are still uncomfortable speaking their own language in public spaces."

   Bilash hopes the official announcement of International Mother Language Day in Edmonton — which echoes International Mother Language Day declared by UNESCO in 1999 — will be a step toward encouraging more language diversity in order to preserve the cultures tied to them.

   “Our words define us; our expressions and vocabulary define who we are as people,” said Marneen Kubinec,Alberta's minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples,perhaps the best that there are,of human creativity.” 

32. The example of the languages in Africa is given to show .

   A. there’ re many languages in Africa

   B. a great number of languages became extinct

   C. Africa believes . in encouraging cultural diversity

   D. Africans are trying to save endangered languages

33. Both Bilash and Prokhorova stress the importance of .

   A. mastering more than one foreign language

   B. public policy on Canadian traditions and customs

   C. protecting languages and cultures from extinction

   D. the official announcement of IMLD by UNESCO

34. What does the underlined word “echoes” in the text mean?

   A. Suggests. B. Creates.

   C. Celebrates. D. Imitates.

35. What can we learn from Kubinec's words?

   A. Your language is your identity.

   B. Native language is disappearing.

   C. Alberta is rich in language diversity.

   D. Language can be saved by creativity.
