D 【解析】句意：當(dāng)我去北京游玩的時候，地圖非常重要嗎？-當(dāng)然，如果你是第一次去那里，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)北京地圖非常有用。第一空需要使用形容詞，與be動詞一并構(gòu)成謂語結(jié)構(gòu)，即…be important意為“...是重要的”，排除BC，表示“...有用”可以說“...be useful”或“...be of great use”，故第二空填名詞use，選D。

My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is working. No one has time to look after children at home．

And the cars! No one walks any more: everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now they don’t. And in school the children don’ t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don’ t use their heads any more; instead, they use calculators(計算器).

Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’ t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now nobody eats at home and cooks food any more.

And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

A. Life today is better than it used to be. B. Life today is worse than it used to be.

Manners are very important for our daily life. There are many different customs and habits among different countries. We must find out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education should do.

If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is sent to your hand, you should say“Thank you”and receive it with two hands. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor always leaves a little food to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the food to show that he has enjoyed it. The host will be pleased with that.

You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe. But it’s good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn’t give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give your food to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn’t offering you enough to eat .

“Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don’t suggest a time at once, the India will think you are refusing the invitation. But if an Englishman says “Come any time”, they will think you are impolite if you start fixing a date.

1.People should know different manners in different countries because ________.

A. actions speak louder than words B. when in Rome, do as the Romans do

C. practice makes perfect D. the early bird catches the worm

2.What is good manners in China?

A. entering the room without knocking at the door B. leaving a little food before finishing it

C. sitting down directly after entering the room D. receiving a cup of tea with two hands

3.The underlined word “bribe” mean___________ in Chinese.

A. 賄賂 B. 貪污 C. 禮物 D. 珍寶

4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Chinese people often give presents in public .

B. Latin American people often send others knives .

C. We can send some food to Arabian people.

D. An Englishman says “Come any time” to show he’s polite.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Generally , they are often taking risks.

Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?

According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同齡人) view them—that is “peer influence”.

As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.

In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.

Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?

As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油門) but a weak brake (剎車). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.

But the good news is that a violent teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”

1.What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph probably mean?

A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct.

2.According to the passage, teenagers often take risks because_____________.

A. They like challenging themselves. B. They are too young to tell right from wrong.

C. They don’t think about costs. D. They care about what their peers think of them.

3.How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens’ behavior?

A. By using a metaphor (比喻). B. By giving real examples.

C. By presenting research results. D. By doing experiments.

4.We can learn from the text that _____________________.

A. teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.

B. peer influence has a good influence on teenagers.

C. most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.

D. teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.
