I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. 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 two 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. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蠶繭) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to 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 up to a great barrier 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 at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
【小題1】 In this passage, the author wants to tell _______.

A．readers to try to be popular with people around
B．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
C．parents to try to control and guide their children
D．people to try to understand and respect each other
【小題2】The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _______.
A．growing away from their parentsB．turning to their friends for help
C．walking a new way on their ownD．following the popularity trend
【小題3】The phrase “a larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.
A．the distractive and variable societyB．the popularity wave in the society
C．the parental care and loveD．the dazzling music world
【小題4】What does the author think of advertisements?
A．Convincing.B．Instructive.C．Influential.D．Authoritative.
【小題5】According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?
A．He/She gains valuable popularity.B．He/She loses good friends.
C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D．He/She falls behind the time.

Who says constant texting is just a bad habit? The teenager with the fastest thumbs in the country was crowned on Wednesday at the LG US National Texting Championship in New York City, winning ＄50,000 after a series of fierce texting battles.

16-year-old Austin Wiershke comes from Rhinelander, Wisconsin of the United States. He took home the top prize at the fifth annual texting event, beating 11 other competitors in the final, including last year’s champion Brianna Hendrickson from Brooklyn, New York.

Wiershke, who was wearing a gray shirt and having Justin Bieber’s hairstyle, sailed through each level of the competition by typing passages of text on a QWERTY keyboard rapidly without any mistaken. One special round even included being blindfolded(蒙眼) on the state to make up phrases by memory.

"Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (罵）is a sign of love."

Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been-but experts say they still ring true.

Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way tosuccess.

"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys," said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur(企業(yè)家）in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province." They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."

In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money - around $48,000 per year —to send a child to a strict military school.

Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.

A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28."All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of them were spoiled," said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.

Song's only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.

Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.

"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals," said Song Siyu.'The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character, they are not personal."

But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.

But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.

1.From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _____.

A．is out of date in modern times.

B．is disagreed by rich parents.

C．is still worth trusting

D．is deeply believed by better educated parent.

2.The underlined sentence means that _____

A．Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely.

B．Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.

C．There are other people sending their children to military school besides Song.

D．The fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it.

3.Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except _____.

A．taking a bath in a short time

B．having his meal with his eyes closed

C．taking unreasonable criticism

D．improving his character

4.How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?

A．10               B．13               C．15               D．25

5.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.   It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.

B.    Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.

C.   Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.

D.   Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分,滿分40分）

When Chato's barking didn't stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog triednibbling on the teenager's leg, to get the girl out of her burning house.

No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7 a.m.

Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton's main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. "I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure  they knew how many people lived there," Hamilton said. "It was scary."

"Seals called me screaming," said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seal's boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. "She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg."

It is said that Garcia's brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet－until it mattered. "He doesn't usually bark." Vega said. "He's real friendly."

According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before," Clyatt said.

61.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors

B. Firefighters Put Out House Fire

C. Dogs Saves Teen Girl From House Fire

D. Family Needs Help Due To House Fire

62.The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph most probably refers to________.

A. other neighbors         B. Hamilton family members

C. Vega and her brother Garcia     D. the firefighters

63.By saying "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before." in the last paragraph, Clyatt means________.

A. it's a wonder that Seals survived the fire  B. the house was badly damaged

C. such a bad fire was seldom seen      D. Chato is a very clever dog

64.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?

A. The person who called the firefighters.    B. The possible cause of the accident.

C. The relationship between Seals and Garcia.     D. The owner of the house.

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年北京市下學(xué)期高一3月月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.

This young man had no hair on sides of his head with a set of blue spiked（豎起的）hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔) was pierced （扎、穿）, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.

Caitlyn, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager, I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.

 I was wrong.

 My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a polite “Thank you very much”.

On our way to the car, I praised Caitlyn for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother’s talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.

 As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.

 The only thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door. ”

I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.

In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.

1.What did the author think of the young man?

A. Polite.    B. Uncommon.   C. Frightening. D. Funny.

2. Caitlyn helped the young man because______ .

A. she was scared         B. she didn’t notice his look

C. she wanted to avoid him  D. it would be difficult for him to open the door

3. The underlined sentence suggests that_______ .

A. the author was ashamed of herself

B. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom

C. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter

D. people should have more freedom to express themselves

4. The author intends to tell us that_______ .

A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his look

B. we should allow people more freedom to dress differently

C. we should be more helpful and tolerant(寬容的)to people

D. we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life
