I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）．I wish it were so．At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents．You should be learning to stand on your own feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents．Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(緊握）at one another's hands for reassurance．
They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it．They have come out of their cocoon（繭） into a larger cocoon．
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way．Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market．These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be． 
And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障礙） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．
But the barrier is worth climbing over．The path is worth following, You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party．You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records．You may have some thoughts 'that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．

A．have much difficulty understanding each other
B．lack confidence

試題分析：文章講了青少年一方面叛逆，另一方面又跟隨潮流，沒有個性。作者認為青少年要發(fā)現(xiàn)自我，學會獨立，這樣才真正受人歡迎與尊重。
小題1:A主旨題。通讀全文發(fā)現(xiàn)teenager一詞頻繁出現(xiàn)，可見本文作者想告訴我們的與“青少年”有關(guān)，進一步分析首段，其中句子“You should be learning to stand on your own feet”給出了作者的觀點“青少年應該學會獨立”，A項說法正符合此意，故為答案。
小題2:C細節(jié)題。由題干中的“brave”可定位答案于第一段的句子“Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(緊握）at one another's hands for reassurance”，C項“不敢獨自處理問題”是此句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為正確答案。
小題3:D細節(jié)題。把選項與原文一一對照，A項與最后一段最后的句子“That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．”相矛盾，故不正確；B項與第四段“And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障礙） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．”不符合，故不正確；C項與文章最后一段句子“You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself”不符合，故不正確；D項與第二段句子“They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．”描述相符，故為正確答案。
小題4:B推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段句子“These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be．”可推斷出作者認為青少年受廣告的影響很大，故B項正確。
小題5:C細節(jié)題。從文章最后一段句子“Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．”，C項“找到一個真正的自我”是此句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為正確答案。

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持續(xù)的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil， which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emission (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate (加速) the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.
小題1: The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.
A．it makes the world warmer
B．it consumes natural resources
C．it brings severe damage to forests
D．it makes growth hard to continue
小題2:What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．China lacks wind and solar energy.
B．China is the leader of the low carbon market.
C．High speed trains are a low carbon development.
D．Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
小題3:To fully develop the low carbon markets, government can ______.
A．cut public expensesB．forbid carbon emission
C．develop public resourcesD．encourage energy conservation
小題4:We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.
A．develop sustainable products
B．explore new natural resources
C．make full use of natural resources
D．deal with the major challenge
小題5:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce a new business model.
B．To compare two business models.
C．To predict a change of the global market.
D．To advocate (提倡) sustainable development.

Digital Trend: BOOKLESS LIBRARIES
What if you could fit all of a library’s collection in the palm of your hand? That’s part of the idea behind an upcoming bookless public library in San Antonio. Called Biblio Tech, the system will lend out e-readers loaded with 10,000 titles for two-to-three –week periods. But don't bother holding on to the device longer than that because it’s programmed to go dead.
Other libraries have tried similar programs: In 2002, the Santa Rosa Branch Library in Tucson, Arizona, launched a digital-only facility, and a bookless project was proposed last year in Newport Beach, California. Those digital-only projects folded—residents wanted their paperbacks—but Stanford University maintains a successful bookless engineering library with over 65,000 titles. Officials say digital libraries are a low-cost way to educate the masses and argue their rise is inevitable.
Still, some insist print isn’t doomed. A recent Wall Street Journal article notes that e-book purchases skew（傾斜）heavily toward the sort of  “l(fā)ight entertainment” novels you can pick up at the grocery store. A survey from the Pew Research Center shows that about 90 percent of digital readers still crack open physical books.( After all, there are only four Twilight books. How hard is it to drag those around?)
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can tell _____.
A．you can always keep all of the books in your hands,
B．Biblio Tech will lend readers 10,000 books temporarily.
C．the books will not be stored in your device forever.
D．the bookless public library can be found in San Antonio now.
小題2:The following statements are true except that _____.
A．the Santa Rosa Branch Library lend out e-readers with 10,000 books.
B．the physical books are still popular despite those bookless projects.
C．Stanford University sets a successful example of bookless engineering.
D．some officials agree that digital libraries are educative and unavoidable.
小題3:What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A．succeededB．openedC．a(chǎn)cceptedD．failed
小題4:Some people insist that print will not disappear because _____.
A．e-books are mainly sort of “l(fā)ight entertainment” novels.
B．most of the digital readers prefer books about physics.
C．a(chǎn) majority of e-reader users still choose to read paperbacks.
D．it is easy to take 4 Twilight books everywhere.

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲勞). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情緒的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
小題1: What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.
B．Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.
C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D．A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
小題2:According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A．Challenging mental work.B．Unpleasant emotions.
C．Endless tasks.D．Physical labor.
小題3:What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?
A．He agrees with them.B．He doubts them.
C．He argues against them.D．He hesitates to accept them.
小題4: We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.
A．have some good food.B．enjoy their work
C．exercise regularlyD．discover fatigue toxins

In tradition (傳統(tǒng)的) education, the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time, and that they must also make the students study specific (特殊的) things. In open education, the teacher’s methods are very different. These teachers feel that the students are human beings (人) first, and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do, just as adults are. A student’s ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher’s. The teacher allows the students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study what they do not want to. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study. It’s very important for the teacher to show how he or she feels about students.

The argument over a Philadelphia school district accused of secretly spying on pupils through laptop cameras became fiercer today after it acknowledged obtaining more than 56,000 images of its students, many of them in their homes.
When the scandal (丑聞) first broke, it was believed that only a few pictures had been taken of one pupil, Blake Robbins. But court papers released this week showed that thousands of images were taken of Robbins and other students.
Robbins and his parents have filed an action against the school district. Court papers from the Robbins’s lawyers said that at first it was thought that the laptops’ technology had produced a few images but they found more than 400 of Robbins, including images “showing him partially undressed and sleeping”.
Robbins said he did not know why the spying device was activated (激活) as his laptop had not been reported stolen or missing. Other students whose pictures were taken said their laptops had not been reported stolen or missing either.
An administrator at the school, one of the few with authority to track the laptops, remained silent, refusing to answer questions.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that 38,500 of the images came from six laptops that had been reported missing from the Harriton gym in September 2008. These apparently helped the police catch a suspect. Another set of images were from cameras in laptops which employees responsible for tracking failed or forgot to turn off.
The court papers, filed by Robbins’ lawyers, said that the technology was activated between 20 October and 4 November last year, with most of the 400 shots of him while he was in his home, and included his family. “There were additional webcam pictures and screen shots taken of Blake Robbins which, up to now, have not been recovered because the evidence was deleted by the IT department,” the court papers say.
One of Robbins’ lawyers is trying to obtain access to the administrator’s home computer to confirm whether she downloaded any of the pictures. The court papers indicate she may be a voyeur (窺隱私者) though it has not been proved.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that _________.
A．Robbins’ parents remained calm over the scandal
B．Robbins had his laptop stolen before the scandal
C．the laptops’ technology produced some images
D．the private rights of the students were offended
小題2:What did The Philadelphia Inquirer say about the case?
A．The police had found some evidence.
B．Most of the laptops in Harriton gym were missing.
C．Employees in charge of tracking deliberately left the laptops on.
D．There was obviously more than one suspect related to the case.
小題3:According to the court papers, the administrator _________.
A．may have spied her students on purpose
B．may have broken into Robbin’s house
C．has downloaded many students’ pictures
D．has removed evidence from computers
小題4: What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Modern technology has negative effects on our lives.
B．Students in Philadelphia are accustomed to being spied on secretly.
C．A Philadelphia school is charged with spying students through laptop cameras.
D．The American government should take measures to improve teachers’ qualities.

Ever since man began to use the telephone, there have been new problems arising from the carrying of messages. At first, each message was carried by a pair of overhead wires. As a result, telephone exchanges were soon surrounded by thousands of wires. The wires were then replaced by cables (電纜)，each containing many pairs of wires. Each cable is capable of carrying many messages. These cables, laid underground, replaced the overhead wires.
The more extensive telephone services have become, the more demand for these services has increased, particularly the demand for long-distance services. In China, for example, this growth is now over 30% every year. Long-distance telephone exchanges are usually in crowded cities, where is not easy to lay new labels for expanding services.
The use of radio to send telephone message and to link all telephone exchanges makes it possible to get rid of overhead wires and some underground cables.
Now man has invented the microwave system ( 微波系統(tǒng) ). In a microwave system messages from various places can be brought together, and then they are sent out and received by radio. After that, the messages are split into their original form. Finally, they are sent to the places where they are going to be sent.
小題1:The word “message” ( in paragraph 1) is close in meaning to “______”.
A．electricityB．industryC．informationD．wave
小題2:A cable is different from an overhead wire, because it ________.
A．is made of wood
B．needs more exchange
C．carries more messages
D．is much longer
小題3:What does the word extensive mean？
A．growingB．usingC．holdingD．understanding
小題4:The best title for the passage would be “________”.
A．The Telephone and Its Past
B．From the Wire to the Microwave System

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
小題1:For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A．To predict a heavy rain B．To check the weather forecast
C．To protect people from the rain D．To remind people to take an umbrella
小題2:What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?
A．His creation was inspired by an experience
B．it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
C．Street lamps are protected by canopies
D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
小題3:Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A．motor→canopy→sensors B．Sensors→motor→canopy
C．motor→sensors→canopyD．canopy→motor→sensors
小題4:What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A．Its moving speed B．Its appearance
C．Its installation D．Its safety
小題5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product
B．The lampbrella could be put into immediate production
C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical
D．The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow
