Conflic
14、ts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and s
15、eek advice from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral
16、values, parents and children often disagree aboutwhat is important and what is right. Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families
17、have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow
18、 up into “solid citizens“ who fulfill most of their parents“ expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap“ is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents“ values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.（分数：10

23、o make Singapore“s three million people more polite ended yesterday and was immediately followed by another drive to get them to be punctual. Tardiness is not yet a criminal offence in the island republic, and the National Punctuality Working Committee can only use gentle persuasion. “Being on time
24、means being considerate,“ said committee chairman Toh Weng Cheng. Previous drives made little headway in changing a deeply rooted habit that seems oddly out of place in this otherwise efficient city-state. Tardiness at dinner parties is usually attributed to Chinese tradition, a belief that older an
25、d more important guests were expected to make an entrance after the others. Meanwhile, officials will assess the results of the 15th annual courtesy (礼貌) campaign, a HK $ 2.4million drive to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners. Earlier courtesy campaigns used posters, films, advertisements i
26、n newspapers and magazines to portray considerate behavior. The publicity this year stressed courtesy through examples of discourtesy. Few countries use elaborate public campaigns to change behavior and raise civic consciousness. It has been a way of life in Singapore for more than 30 years. Some, l
27、ike the courtesy drive, deal with basic habits and culture. October was first declared “Speak Mandarin Month“ in 1978, an effort to wipe out regional Chinese dialects in favor of the official tongue. Others focus on problems of the day. The police launched a drive in 1989 to stop abuse of the emerge
28、ncy phone number 999, because one call in five was of the nuisance or non-emergency variety. Some campaigns have been so successful that they have been reversed. Family planners urged parents to “Stop at Two“ in 1978. Birth rates dropped from 3.5 percent in 1960 to 1.2 percent in 1980, and families
29、who can afford it are now encouraged to “Have Three or More“. By the early 1980s, the growth of campaigns inspired one exhausted newspaper columnist to suggest a “take your campaigns seriously campaign“.（分数：10.00）(1).In the passage, the word “tardiness“ (Line 1, Paragraph 2) most probably means _.（分
30、数：2.00）A.punctualityB.impolitenessC.dishonestyD.lateness(2).The courtesy drive was launched in Singapore to _.（分数：2.00）A.develop appropriate personal habitsB.stress the importance of punctualityC.make the people more politeD.urge the officials to be on time(3).When did the campaign to standardize sp
31、oken language begin?（分数：2.00）A.In 1960.B.In 1978.C.In 1980.D.In 1989.(4).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Singapore has always been a highly efficient country in every way.B.The campaigns are not always very effective in Singapore.C.Singapore does its best to make its people more polite
32、.D.Not all the campaigns are launched every year.(5).Which of the following statements is not directly said but implied in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.All the campaigns are to improve people“s behavior.B.There are too many campaigns in Singapore.C.The more campaigns, the more efficient they are.D.Almost
33、all campaigns in Singapore don“t amount to anything.五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone. The Ko
34、libree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don“t forget the i
35、nsides of the teeth!) and make sure you“re brushing long enough. “It“s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,“ says Thomas Serval, the French inventor. The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for in
36、stance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,“ Several says. Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their
37、teeth. They said “yes“, but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed. The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $ 99 to $199, developing on features. The U. S. is the first target market. Serval
38、 says that one day, it“ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.（分数：10.00）(1).Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?（分数：2.00）A.It can sense how users brush their te
39、eth.B.It can track users“ school performance.C.It can detect users“ fear of seeing a dentist.D.It can help users find their phones.(2).What can we learn from Serval“s words in Paragraph 3?（分数：2.00）A.You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.B.You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.C.You
40、 can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.D.You“d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.(3).Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?（分数：2.00）A.It can be used to update mobile phones.B.It can be used to play mobile phone games.C.It can send messages
41、 to other users.D.It can talk to its developers.(4).What can we infer about Serval“s children?（分数：2.00）A.They were unwilling to brush their teeth.B.They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.C.They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.D.They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came h
42、ome.(5).What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?（分数：2.00）A.The brush handle will be removed.B.A mobile phone will be built into it.C.It will be used to fill holes in teeth.D.It will be able to check users“ teeth.六、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The Chinese have used a method called
43、acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting (插入) flexible needles (针)into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them. To learn how to use needle take
44、s about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation i
45、s to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles. Today the Chinese doctors are t
46、rying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist(手腕), for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth. A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having
47、 acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas (然而，反之) the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.（分数：10.00）(1).Acupunctur
48、e can be defined as _.（分数：2.00）A.a medical techniqueB.a medical needleC.a medical operationD.a medical machine(2).All the statements are true about the performer of acupuncture EXCEPT “_“.（分数：2.00）A.He knows where the operation is to be performed.B.He knows where to place the needles without pain.C.
49、He knows how to use the needles in an operation.D.He knows how to perform the operation to cure the patient.(3).To learn how to use the needles, it takes a person _.（分数：2.00）A.around one monthB.a couple of daysC.a life timeD.several hours(4).It can be learned from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.more patients prefer chemicals to acupunctureB.an operation in the past needs more needles than nowC.acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 6,000 yearsD.Chinese doctor
