Everyone has a place to queue up in _17_ ; lets go find yours.”We lined up with her class and just as she was about to cling to my leg _18_ , her friend from preschool stood next to her.

But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同龄人) group.The lack of right male (男性) role models in many of their lives at home and particularly in the school environment (环境) means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.They dont see men succeeding in society so it doesnt occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a childs peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.Its pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.21Why did Tom give up studying?A. He disliked his teachers.B. His parents no longer supported him.C. Its cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.22What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?A. Peer groups. B. A special unit.C. The student judges. D. The home environment.23What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?A. Wait for their change patiently. B. Train leaders of their peer groups.C. Stop the development of street culture.D. Give them lessons in a separate area.24A teachers work is most effective with a schoolboy when he _ .A. is with the boy aloneB. teaches the boy a lessonC. sends the boy home as punishment D. works together with another teacherI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!25When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places26What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.27People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A. in order to save time B. as a testC. so as to be polite D. for fun28What can we infer from the text?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple LifeTime is more precious than money for an increasing number of people who are choosing to live more with lessand liking itKay and Charles Giddens, two lawyers, sold their home to start a B&B hotelFour years later, the couple dishes out banana pancake breakfast, cleans toilets and serves homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B&B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says MsGiddens, “This is a phenomenon thats fairly widespread A lot of people are reevaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to doIf their base is being damaged, whats the payoff?”Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.Vicki Robin, a writer, lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make“You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is,” MsRobin says, “You tend not to use things upYou cook at home rather than eat out”Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks“It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says, “Simplicity is not just about saving money; its about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”MrsLuhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions, and generally how to consume less.“Its not about poverty,” MrsLuhrs explains, “Its about conscious living and creating the life you wantThe less stuff you buy, the less money goes out of the door, and the less money you have to earn.”29Kay and Charles Giddens sold their home to _.A pay off the debtB start a private hotelC cut down expensesD buy living necessities30Simple living includes _.A building a home libraryB living in the countrysideC enjoying a colorful night lifeD sharing housing with others31It can be learned from the passage that now Janet Luhrs _.A spends more time with her kidsB has an interest in classical musicC works as a reporter of a magazineD helps people buy recycled clothes32How does the author develop the passage? A By using figures.B By asking questions.C By giving examplesD By making comparisonsWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangersThe danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.33Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To introduce points for discussion.D. To describe the conditions on Earth.34 What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so.B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.35 What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. Our genetic makeup.B. Resources on the earth.C. The adaptive ability of humans.D. By-products in space exploration.第II卷（非选择题）第一节、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项根据短文内容。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）You know that you have everything to be thankful for：a loving family，a pretty good job，and a healthy working bodyStill，you keep feeling that what you have just isnt enoughSure，you can be happier by making some life changes36It will make you more likely to start enjoying th
