All of us go through some difficult times as we approach teenage years. It’s the age when we have to deal with the most 36 in our life. This transition(过渡) from childhood to adulthood is 37 for some, but rough for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is 38 . When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do. Unlike before when we were small kids, even id we made a big trouble, we didn’t need to pay anything for it.
It’s all not so 39 about being a teenagers though. We don’t have to have our 40 take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldn’t go before. We can have 41 with friends or even alone, which we couldn’t have because we were too 42 to know what pleasure is! It’s a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are old enough to 43 what is good for us, and make decisions by ourselves without 44 others.
But like the saying goes “All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue 45 .” During this period, we are having much 46 for our studies. If we don’t pass, we won’t get jobs, and things will take a turn for the 47 . With the present world economy in 48 , we have to do really, really well in our 49 for a job. Adults say that their 50 s the hardest part of life. But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much 51 than being already an adult. What we do in our teenage years will 52 what we become and how we lead our life in the future.
In conclusion, it is quite 53 that parents put much pressure on an already stressed out teenager. If they realized that, living condition for teenagers would be much better. 54 for the teens ourselves we should get to know what is best for us. What’s more, we should understand the right 55 of life we choose at this age can make us happy for the rest of our existence.

A
Steve knew he’d been adopted as a baby, and when he turned 18, in 2003, he decided he’d try to track down his birth mother. The agency from which he’d been adopted gave his mother’s name, Tallady. But online searches didn’t turn up any results about it, and Steve had to let it go.
In 2007, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowe’s store where Steve, then 22, worked as a deliveryman. When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, “you mean Tallady, who works here?”
Steve and Tallady, a cashier, has said hello to each other a few times at the store, but they’d never really talked. He hadn’t even known her name. Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name. For a few months, Steve avoided Tallady. “I wasn’t sure how to approach her, ” he told a local reporter. Finally, the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she’d been waving at was his son, she sobbed. She’d always hoped to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar. She’d given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. “I wasn’t ready to be a mother, ” she told him. Married with two other children, Tallady says, “I have a complete family now.”
56. Steve gave up the online search for his birth mother in 2003 because ______.
A. the agency didn’t give him any help
B. there was no information about his mother
C. his mother didn’t respond to him online
D. he missed the information about his mother

A. Her home addressB. Her full name
C. Her boss’s nameD. Her new job
58. Why did Steve avoid Tallady for months?
A. Because she didn’t want to talk to him
B. Because he was not fully prepared for the reunion
C. Because she was difficult to approach
D. Because he didn’t think she was his mother
59. The best title for the passage is ______

Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior, chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don’t feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colourful.
Betta fish
They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging form bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner’s presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.
Chinchillas
Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can’t get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountain in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, even if you are only alone, you will become its family. In cold winter days, only a glance at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.
Land hermit crabs
In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty?”, land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don’t cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.
Red----eared sliders
If you’re interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking(晒太阳) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.
60. All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are____
A. active and allergicB. quiet and peaceful
C. colorful and tastyD. small and smelly
61. Which of the following is not true about these creatures?
A. Bettas are active and rich in colors
B. Chinchillas are originally mountain animals
C. Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty
D. Red-eared sliders need more care from the owner.
62. If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you’d better choose____.
A. Betta fishB. Chinchillas
C. Land hermit crabsD. Red-eared sliders
63. The passage is mainly to _____
A. introduce the best way to keep pets.
B. offer useful pictures for choosing pets.
C. inform students of lifestyle of pets.

More than half a century ago, there were 4000 drive-in movie theaters in the United States, and watching a movie from your car was a popular way to spend an evening. Although the number of drive-ins has reduced to just a few hundred, outdoor movie has been popping up across the nation. Going to an open-air theater has become a modern summer pastime for a increasing number of movie fans.
In recent years, outdoor movie screenings have come up in parks, vacant lots and shopping malls around the nation. On average, about 1000 people attend each movie night. It attracts a lot of young professionals, young workers and residents nearby. For some, the outdoor movies bring back the memories of the drive-in theaters of their youths. But for the majorities, they think it is comparable to the atmosphere of drive-ins, as they can bring friends, food, good wine, and watch the movie together.
The returning of Americans’ love affair with outdoor movies makes Stephen Bastas even busier. His seven-member crew sets up screens in various locations mostly in the Washington area every day throughout the summer. They are doing pretty well and they hope to continue the trend.

This message is to inform all the children that Santa’s post office in Himmelpfort, Germany, is open to receive your holiday wishes. That means you can mail your letters to Santa about 6 weeks sooner than that last year. Santa knows you’ve been good and wants to make sure he and his helpers receive your wish list earlier.
Eight post offices are organized across Germany to answer all the letters children send. This year they plan to receive over 250,000 letters. Though the letters fly from over 80 different countries, Santa and his helpers can understand and make sure to answer all the letters.
In 1984, two children from Berlin sent their wish lists to Himmelpfort after spending their vacation there. Their letters were answered by postal employees and later Himmelpfort increased its helpers to meet the needs of increased mail traffic. Year after year, Santa and his crew use an eco-friendly powered vehicle to collect thousands of letters they receive from young boys and girls. The great news for this year is that if you come to beautiful town of Himmelpfort, you can drop off your letter and visit Santa in person, from Tuesdays to Thursdays until Christmans Eve.
Santa does not currently have an e-mail, Twitter or a Facebook account. He believes in old-fashioned communication. So get out your paper and write you wish list. Just make sure your letter is clear so you can receive an official response. Send your letters to,

For the first time, researchers have discovered that some plants can kill insects in order to get additional nutrients. New research shows that they catch and kill small insects with their own sticky hairs near the roots and then absorb nutrients through their roots when the insects are killed and fall to the ground.
Professor Mark Chase, of Kew and Queen Mary, University of London, said, “The cultivated(改良的) tomatoes and potatoes still have the hairs. Tomatoes in particular are covered with these sticky hairs. They do trap small insects on a regular basis. They do kill insects.”
The number of these carnivorous plants is thought to have came up to 50 percent and many of them have until now been wrongly regarded as among the most harmless plants. Among them are species of petunia(矮牵牛), some special tobacco plants and cabbages, some varieties of potatoes and tomatoes, etc. Researches at Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, which carried out the study, now believe there are hundreds more killer plants than previously realized.
It is thought that the technique was developed in the wild to get necessary nutrients in poor quality soil----and even various plants grown in your vegetable garden still have the ability.
The researchers, publishing their finding in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, said, “We may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.” “We are accustomed to thinking of plants as being immobile and harmless, and there is something deeply frightening about the thought of meat-eating plants,” they added.
72. Tomatoes and potatoes kill insects to______.
A. get more sticky hairsB. make themselves grow better
C. make their roots strongerD. avoid falling down to the ground
73. The word carnivorous in Paragraph 3 most probably means_____.
A. fast-growing B. harmless
C. insect-killing D. nutritious
74. The technique for vegetables to trap insects is most probably developed through_______.
A. evolution of speciesB. helps from other garden plants
C. artificial cultivationD. nutrients preserved in rich soil
75. The text id probably taken from________.
A. a student book B. a science fiction
C. a scientific reportD. a bulletin board

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：表格中的每个空格只填一个单词。
Art is an important part of education, not only on its own but in the rest of education as well. However, in this information age, advanced technology in school has gained more attention than art. Sometimes when the school has a tight budget, it is usually art rather than technology that becomes the first thing to be cut.
Anyway, the significance of art can’t be ignored. First of all, in school it can help students develop a variety of life skills such as communication skills, problem-solving skills and self-expression skills. Secondly, for high school students, those who are involved in arts classes can have higher test scores. Besides, for some students, art seems to be motivation for coming to school because it’s a subject that they can outshine, which eventually balances their educational experience.
New technology surely offers many benefits to some aspects of education, making teaching and learning easier and more effective. For example, technology simplifies tasks that take much longer to do, like conducting research or finding information. But advanced technology has bad effects such as the risk of being overweight, tiredness and even potential mental health problems, while art doesn’t. On the other hand, unlike art, no technology can develop students’ critical(批判的) thinking skills and a creative mind, both of which can help them to find successful careers after they graduate. Furthermore, no technology can help students to learn to bear responsibility, develop their imagination and increase their confidence.
Generally, art should not be replace with advance technology in schools and the last thing to be cut out of school curriculum.
TitleShould technology 76 art?
SituationTechnology has attracted more 77 than art in schools, which is in danger of being cut.
The 78 roles that art plays in schoolDeveloping 79 life skills
Improving academic performance
Serving as 80 for attending school
Advantages of art over technologyCausing fewer health problems
Developing critical thinking and 81 .
Helping students take on 82
Developing imagination
Making students feel more 83
84 Art should be 85 on the school curriculum

One possible version
Recently there has been a heated discussion among students about whether it’s necessary to have spoken English test in middle schools.
As far as I know, most of my classmates can read English fluently and only a few of us find it difficult to read long words correctly. Some are lacking for confidence when speaking English in public.
I strongly believe it a necessity to hold a test of spoken English in middle schools because it’ll enable us students to have more opportunities to improve our speaking skills in English classes. What’s more, the ability to speak fluent English will bring you a great variety of opportunities. With it, you could get into different doors more easily by talking to experts from English-speaking countries in the future.
Whether I’ll take the test or not, I will spare no effort to improve my spoken English.
