阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
In parents eyes, they usually think they have a good relationship with their teenage children. But last spring, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author（作者）of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera said. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are the right people to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental（精神的）break, for children also need freedom（自由）, even when young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, to their children is a better way to know them.
56. “The door to his room is always shut.” means the son_____________.
A. keeps himself away from his parents C. is always busy with his studies
B. wants to be alone D. begins to hate his parents
57. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that____________.
A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D. they can’t read their daughter’s mind
58. According to Michael Riera, teenagers___________.
A. like to tell their parents what’s on their minds
B. like to talk with their friends about what they think
C. like to tell their teachers about their troubles
D. like to keep worries to themselves
59. What can be learned from the passage
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B. Parents have good ways to talk with their teenagers.
C. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
D. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
B
In a hospital in Manila, the Philippines, a baby was born on 31 October, 2011,. It’s a baby girl with 5.5 pounds, and the world’s population reached seven billion. United Nations Population Fund (基金会) staff gave a cake to the family of newborn baby girl named Danica Camacho. The birth came a day ahead of what the United Nations had proclaimed(公布) as The Day of 7 Billion.
The Philippines is the 12th most populous country in the world. Only 50 years ago, the Philippines’ population stood at 27.1 million. Today they are about 95 million. That’s a 250 percent jump. Such a country waits for the baby of Mary Rose Castin, the 21-year-old wife. “I didn’t realize there were so many people,” said Mary Rose when she was told that the world’s population was reaching seven billion.
The world’s population didn’t hit the 1 billion until the 19th century. But only just a hundred years later, we were 2 billion strong. Every day, 382,000 babies are born all over the world. Most of the births are in countries already struggling to feed a growing number of hungry mouths. By 2100, Earth will be welcoming its 10 billionth baby.
In the world of 7 billion, large populations necessarily need more houses. Medical care will also be a serious problem. An increasing population is an environmental problem in many countries. There is not enough space, and there is too much traffic, noise and pollution. To not act now will make the problems harder to solve later.
60. According to the United Nations, The Day of 7 Billion fell on ________.
A. November 1, 2011 B. October31, 2011
C. October30, 2011 D. November 2, 2011
61. The underlined words “populous country” in the second paragraph means a country which has _____.
A. a lot of money B. a large population
C. a large area D. a bit of pollution
62. We can infer(推断)from the third paragraph that _________.
A. The world’s population will stop increasing in 2100.
B. The world’s population has been growing more and more quickly.
C. The world had over 1 billion people before the 19th century.
D. Rich countries have more newborn babies than poor countries.
C

What are keywords
Keywords are specific words or phrases that are used to search for jobs. A search looks for these words in job postings and if it finds them, it will pull them up for a user to take a look at.

With our advanced search feature, you may select how you want to use the keywords in your search. If you select ANY WORDS, you’ll see jobs that contain at least one of the keywords you listed. With ALL WORDS or EXACT PHRASE selected, the resulting jobs must contain all of the keywords or the exact phrase you listed.

All around the world students have a common problem,which is lacking of sleep. In Australia, teenagers are also missing out on, on average, one hour’s sleep every night during the school week.
Organized activities and homework push bedtimes later, the first large-scale Australian study of children’s sleeping habits has revealed (显示). Their sleep deprivation (剥夺) is enough to cause “serious drop-offs in school performance, attention and memory”, and governments should consider later or flexible school start times, said the study’s leader, Tim Olds.
His survey, of more than 4,000 children aged 9 to 18, found those who slept least did not watch more television but spent their time socializing (相处) with family or friends or listening to music.
“Almost all children get up at 7 or 7:15 — they have to get to school on time,” said Olds. He favors a later start over an earlier finish because he believes organized sports and activities would still consume the latter end of the day.
Olds’ research also establishes lack of sleep as a cause of weight gain in children, and a possible source of future problems with depression, anxiety and increased susceptibility (易感性) to illness.
It was already known that overweight children sleep less, but Professor Olds found sleep duration(时长) was strongly linked to weight across the full range of body sizes. The thinnest children sleep 20 minutes more than the obese. This showed being overweight had no specific effect on sleep patterns, and it was more likely that shorter sleep times stimulate (刺激) appetite and make kids hungry.
The US National Sleep Foundation says teenagers aged 13 to 18 need eight to nine hours’ sleep a night. Younger school-aged kids need 9 to 11 hours.
On that basis, Professor Olds said, half of Australian children are under-sleeping on weekdays and a quarter on weekends.
67. The Australian students surveyed don’t sleep enough because they spend more time on the following EXCEPT ___.
A. organized activities and homework B. watching television programs
C. communication with friends and family D. enjoying music
68. What effects does lack of sleep directly have on the students according to the survey _____
A. They pay less attention in class and their memory declines.
B. They feel more depressed and anxious about their school work.
C. They are more likely to be affected with illness in the future.
D. They become overweight but begin to eat less than before.
69. Which of the following suggestions did Mr. Olds raise ____
A. The students should go to bed earlier to have longer sleeping time.
B. The school should put off the start time in the morning.
C. The students should participate less in organized activities.
D. The school should finish earlier in the afternoon.
70. What does "obese" in the sixth paragraph mean _________
A. average B. sleepless C. fat D. overeating
71. Which of the following statements is TRUE ________
A. The survey suggests that teenagers need 8-9 hours’ sleep a night.
B. More students are short of sleep on weekends than on weekdays.
C. Being overweight has an effect on the length of the sleeping time.
D. Australian students usually take part in activities in the afternoon.
E
It is known to us that the American West is shaped by the railroads and the highways in the past centuries. A new electrical generating生成的 and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the country, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar factories and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental横贯大陆的 railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has shown unique challenges to land management. With the competition of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns which appeared as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the west. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly and to really take advantage of it, we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be destroyed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations（特殊照顾）. Deals will be struck to reduce immediate effects.
The last effects of these trade-offs（交易,协定） are another matter, the 21st century development of the American west as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good, but it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroad and the highway.
The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs（协商折衷） and the institution that control will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power factories and transmission lines, so let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct these new power factories in the west.
72. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways
A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B. Some railroad stops remained underused.
C. Land grants went into private hands.
D. Land in the West was hard to manage.
73. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs
A. The use of money and power. B. The transmission of power.
C. The conservation（保护,保存）of solar energy.
D. The selection of an ideal place.
74. What is the author ‘s attitude towards building solar factories
A. Approving（赞成） B. Cautious（谨慎） C. Doubtful D. Disapproving
75. Which is the best title for the passage
A. How the Railways Have Affected the West
B. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
C. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Dear Mr. Headmaster,
I am Wang Ning, a student from Class 6, Senior 2. I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behaviour among us students: littering and scribbling. It makes our school dirty and unpleasant, and does harm to the image of our school. I always feel ashamed whenever I see this. It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour. At the same time, students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. I believe that, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Wang Ning
