Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become

and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves.If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway.The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and .

Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and .As a result, teenagers always keep their .from their parents.Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them.Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to

their side of any problem and express their point of view.

【題目】C

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. In the children’s opinion, they had something that they couldn’t explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He stirred(激起) Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband. “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”

In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie”. Such was his regard for her.

Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’ voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.

Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had in their mother’s words, “l(fā)ost two wives and taken a third”. They wondered about those two unfortunate, lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate(命運) had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.

【1】Maggie never prepared anything special for James because ________.

A. he was a man difficult to please

B. she never knew when he was coming

C. she was too busy looking after her children

D. he never stayed long enough for a meal

【2】What do we know about Jame’s behavior?

A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.

B. He was unselfish, especially towards his brother.

C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the children.

D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.

【3】Maggie felt pleased when ________.

A. she paid James the money that she owed him

B. James gave some money to the children

C. she had to wake James up to catch his train

D. James thanked her for the nice supper

【4】The children did not realize that two of James’ wives ________.

A. were dead

B. suffered from loss of memory

C. had run away from him

D. might reappear one day

【題目】To prevent the deserts coming near, China has planted billions of trees---to replace destroyed forests and as barriers against the sand. This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.

“Planting tress is one way, but it isn’t that simple. It doesn’t solve the basic issue of water resources,” says Wu Bo, a professor. “We need to calculate how much water the trees will absorb, or else it could have a negative effect.”

Villagers in Zhengxin have taken on this challenge, with limited success. When the irrigation channels began to run dry, Lu Xianglin switched from wheat to cotton on his land. He also planted trees to protect his fields from sandstorms. He says he still gets good yields（產(chǎn)量） using flood irrigation and earns a good income for his family.

Other farmers haven’t stuck it out（堅持到底）: about one in three have left Zhengxin in the past 10 years after their wheat crops died. Young people who can find jobs in the towns rarely return.

Last week, Mr Lu joined the other men in his village on a government-arranged trip to see the land that has been set aside for their relocation, nearly 40 miles to the south. The next day, he was back, shaking his head at the plan. The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.

“With enough water, this problem can be solved,” Lu says. “We can plant trees and grass, and they will grow bigger. That will stop the desert.”

Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops. Elsewhere in the region, farmers have built brick greenhouses as part of a plan to grow vegetables using less water. Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.

【1】The negative effect of planting trees in deserts is that __________.

A. it can make groundwater become less

B. it can prevent the sand moving freely

C. it can stop crops growing well

D. it can get the soil to become poor

【2】Why did Mr. Lu NOT accept the idea of relocation?

A. Because the plan of relocation will cost him much money.

B. Because his family had trouble moving away.

C. Because he was reluctant to give up his land.

D. Because he would rather stay than fight against the deserts.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The deserts drive more and more people to leave their homes for their lives.

B. People have no means to fight against the land becoming desert.

C. Water is the biggest barrier for people to stop the desert.

D. Planting trees cannot solve the problem of desertification of farmland.

【4】What advice is given by experts to save water?

A. To plant more trees.

B. To build greenhouses.

C. To change crops.

D. To use drip irrigation.

In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently,【1】 side effects are also enormous.

To begin【2】 , examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged 【3】 examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is【4】. examinations encourage bad study habits.

Public image doesn’t make money directly, nor is it anything visible. However, excellent public image is such an important thing that it is 【1】desired by every company, enterprise, institution, etc. Public image refers to how a company is 【2】 by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders (股東), by the financial community, by the communities where it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable to 【3】extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.

A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the 【4】of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders as stockholders, suppliers, creditors (貸款方), government officials, as well as different special groups. With some things it is impossible to

【5】 all the different publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the

【6】 of creditors and stockholders. However, it will【7】 find resistance from employees who see their jobs threatened. On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval, while low quality products and false claims would be widely looked down upon.

A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be 【8】. It is a valuable strength that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has【9】 a quality image, this is not easily imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to charge higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most favorable creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to 【10】higher price-earnings ratio (比例) than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.
