Teenagers often think they are old enough to make their own decisions, but their parents may worry about their growth and development.
Young people always complain (抱怨) that their parents don’t understand them. When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their children to make a decision for themselves.
Yes, it is true that your parents always treat you as a little child. You aren’t allowed to do what you like in your daily lives. However, it should be remembered that not long ago, they were children too. And parents still recall their own childhood mistakes in the past. They want to protect you, but you don’t want them to do so.
So, if you want to get more freedom (自由), you should first try to understand your parents. Don’t lie to them. If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids in my class can stay out late.” Tell them what you want to do, where you will be, and why it is important for you to stay out late. Then they will say, “Yes, but be more careful and give us a call if possible.”
In this way, through understanding and communication, teenagers can not only get much freedom but also build a good relationship with their parents.
29. Which of the following shows that parents don’t understand children
A．It’s OK for you to join the robot club.
B．We understand you want to hang out with friends.
C．We believe you can get an A in the English exam.
D．It must be your mistake to fight with others at school.
30. What does the underlined word “recall” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Accept. B．Remember. C．Manage. D．Forgive.
31. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A．Different ideas about freedom.
B．Teenagers’ fights to get more freedom.
C．The ways to improve the parent-teenager relationship.
D．The reasons why teenagers often lie to their parents.
D
At the age of 50, Phoebe was told that she had cancer, with less than a year to live. Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most — watching birds.
She went off to some of the world’s most amazing natural places at once. Her trips were really hard. Years came and went, but she was still alive, which surprised her doctors and her family.
Ten years later, the cancer came back. But as she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named “the world’s leading bird spotter.”
Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she found species number 8,000. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000 kinds of birds!
Phoebe’s interest in bird-watching started when she moved to Missouri (密苏里州). There, she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants. She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. “We have to protect nature, or the future people won’t be able to watch these beautiful birds,” she said.
Sadly, when she was 68, she died in a car accident on the island where she had stayed for two weeks and added another five to her list of over 8,400 species. Four years later, the American Birding Association came out with her memoirs (回忆录). Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn’t just a story about a bird watcher’s travels, but a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected.
32. What were Phoebe’s doctors surprised by
A．Her long travels. B．The difficulties she met.
C．Her strong spirit and life force. D．The discoveries she made.
33. What is the correct order of the following events
①Phoebe was named “the world’s leading bird spotter.” ②Phoebe caught cancer.
③Phoebe found 8,000 kinds of birds. ④Phoebe stayed on an island for two weeks.
A．①③④② B．②①③④ C．②④③① D．③②①④
34. What can we know about Phoebe from Paragraph 5
A．She cared a lot about environmental protection.
B．She began to watch birds after she got cancer.
C．She only studied birds in her free time.
D．She wrote books about different kinds of birds.
35. What may the best title for Phoebe’s memoirs be
A．Facing Up to Changes B．Fighting for the Environment
C．Birding on Borrowed Time D．Enjoying the Beauty of Nature

六、任务型阅读
When two people meet for the first time, there are many ways to greet each other. But these ways are not always the same in every country.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Sports players from opposite (对方的) teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. They might only wave or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads (前额) together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Cheek kissing or handshaking is common for French people. If two friends meet, they kiss each other on the cheek and make a kissing sound in the air. If two people don’t know each other well, they will just shake hands.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. A deeper, longer bow shows more respect. Besides, Japanese people use a bow to say “thanks”, “sorry”, or to ask for help.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that both sides understand each other.
51. Why do teams shake hands before a game in America
They shake hands to ____51____ to each other.
52. Which country’s greeting custom does the picture on the right show

A Meaningful Volunteer Activity
Last month, I worked as a volunteer in our school’s international exchange student activity, and it lasted for a whole week.
I did lots of volunteer work. I showed exchange students around our campus, taught them some useful daily Chinese expressions and introduced traditional Chinese culture to them. I took this volunteer job because I wanted to help foreign friends and also improve my own English.
From this activity, I learned a lot. I have realized how important cultural communication is. It was truly a meaningful experience for me.
