第二部分 阅读理解
第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的选项中选出最佳选项
A
As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes．Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder．People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers．When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure．
Peers can have a positive influence on each other．Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system．Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it．These are examples of how peers positively influence each other．
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways．For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball．
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it．Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do．
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely．” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this．If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do．
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust．Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two．
46．For whom is the passage most probably written?
A．Students． B．Parents． C．Teachers． D．Doctors．
47．In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____．
A．explains why friendship is so important
B．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure
C．discusses how peers influence us
D．shows how to make more good friends
48．Which of following may help handle peer pressure?
A．Spending more time with classmates．
B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies．
C．Choosing friends with no bad habits．
D．Helping others who are in trouble．
49．What is the topic of the passage?
A．Friendship． B．Making decisions
C．Self-confidence D．Peer pressure

C
His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
54. When was Mandela arrested?
A. In 1963 B. In 1990
C. When he refused to be a chief D. When he became the president
55. Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _______.
A. winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa
B. Uniting South Africa
C. organizing a government in South Africa
D. controlling the spread of AIDS
56. If Nelson Mandela hadn’t fought against racial discrimination, he_______.
A. could have been the president of South Africa
B. could still have lived a happy life
C. could have been in a difficult situation
D. would have been an excellent boxer
57. Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?
A . struggle is his life
B. sports make his fame
C. fight for equal rights
D. a great fighter against government.

Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all
