But 16 we become teenagers, things change, and we begin to grow apart from our parents. This means we are almost ready to leave the house where we grow up and make a new home 17 our own.All humans must do this, but they dont all do it in the same way. If, for instance, you belonged to a primitive tribe(原始部落), then as you grew up, you would learn the 18 you needed as an adult how to catch fish, how to keep house and look after children. You would be ready to marry in your early teens and you would build a house and 19 near your family in the village.This seems a very old way of life, but it is what humans have been 20 to through hundreds of years. And it is what we are still used to in the 21st century, for man hasnt changed in the short time. But could you leave home and 21 yourself during the teen years? Most people would not do very well. Why? Because although man hasnt changed very much, the society he lives in has changed greatly, which means that we have to learn more and more 22 we are ready to leave our parents shelter and live alone . However, sometimes it is a little unpleasant to live at parents home. Parents can be very upset about late nights, criticizing(挑剔) friends and always 23 that we are noisy and dirty. But we still need our emotional(情感的) shelter till we finish our studies, and that is 24 we usually stay in our parents home until we feel grown up enough to deal with 25 alone. 16. A. unlessB. asC. whetherD. although17. A. of B. onC. toD. with18. A. prizesB. knowledge C. courageD. skills19. A. workB. growC. liveD. study20. A. keptB. moved C. endedD. used21. A. look for B. look afterC. look intoD. look up22. A. beforeB. afterC. unlessD. while23. A. tellingB. talking C. speakingD. saying24. A. whatB. howC. whyD. when25. A. liveB. living C. livedD. left三、阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 AFun DayTo celebrate the Year of the GoatOrganized by Lam Tin Youth Centre and Kwun Tong High SchoolDate: 2 February, 2015 Time: 10 a.m. 5 p.m.Place: Kwun Tong PlaygroundFee: $20 (buy three get one free)Free Soft DrinksProgrammes: drama, lion dance, magic show and ballet performanceHighlights: 1) enter the lucky draw(幸运抽奖) to win a digital camera 2) learn to make festival food Join us on the Fun Day!All are welcome!Notes:Tickets are available at the General Office of Lam Tin Youth CenterFor those who would like to be a volunteer, please contact Miss Olivia Wong one week before the activity.26.What you have just read is a .A. noteB. reportC. posterD. script27.What is going to take place on 2 February, 2015?A.
