阅读理解 A
I am afraid of heights but two summers ago I climbed to a high place. Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to a beautiful beach village in Peru. After eating our lunches, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village.
Do I turn back? “Yes！” Will I regret (后悔) it late? I really want to get to the top, but ... At last, I decided at least to have a try.
My friend Tom was in front of me. Then, suddenly, he slipped (滑倒) and was about 10 feet back! My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself. Knowing that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I began the climb. I was soon past the first challenge safely, but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb. Looking down, I saw rocks everywhere. My breathing sped up, and my heart beat even faster, growing loud in my ears.
My friends kept climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet when necessary, and someone else was always in front to offer a hand up. With friends helping me by words and actions, I slowly gained_ground.
Then we came to the worst part. The climb looked very close to vertical (垂直的). To me, the wise choice was to go back down. Melody encouraged me to go on and she made it safely first. I stopped, unsure of my footing. “You can do it, Jean! I'm right here，” Melody called. She waited patiently, not asking me to hurry. I took a few deep breaths and kept climbing.
With no more mistakes, we came to the top finally. I was dirty and tired. But it didn't matter. I was at the top! I had never felt so alive. 31．According to the text, the climb________. A．was done by all of the high school students B．happened on a morning two summers ago C．was near a beautiful beach village D．lasted for about two days
32．After passing the first challenge, Jean________. A．felt more confident about the climb B．didn't feel any better about the climb C．chose to go back down D．couldn't breathe easily 33．The underlined part “gained ground” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”． A．lost heart B．moved forward
C．climbed to the top D．accepted the friends
34．What do we know about the worst part of the climb? A．Melody gave Jean words of encouragement. B．Jean waited patiently for Seth to catch up. C．It was dirty and dangerous.
D．Jean had the first try.

Today's children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children.
On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don't know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don't have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.
Most of the children today are rebels (叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent's mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood. For example, it is a bad thing for a 17-year-old child to go out in the evening on
weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn't be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn't allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!
35. The writer implies that parents' busy lifestyle ________. A．makes their children become independent B．may lead to a tense parent-child relationship
C．is harmful to their children's health D．is likely to create a troubled generation
36．What does the underlined word “lenient” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Not responsible. B．Not strict. C．Unkind. D．Unfair.
37．It seems that the writer agrees that students ________. A．should stay at home on weekends B．can wear trendy clothes at school
C．had better wear school uniform at school D．can be allowed to go out in the evenings
38．According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children's problems?
A．The social environment. B．The educational system. C．Each family. D．The school.

Do you remember what happened on SpongeBob Square Pants yesterday? The day before? If so, you may be in need of a TV timeout!
Kids today are watching more TV than they watched before, researchers say. Kids ages 6 to 11 in the United States watch more than three hours of TV each day. Ten
years ago, children watched only about two hours and 40 minutes of TV each day. Why the increase? Experts (专家)say more TV shows today are focused,_or aimed, at kids.
Some people want to limit (限制) kids' TV time. Researchers say that children who watch TV shows for more than three hours a day do not do as well in school. However, some programs can help kids learn. One example is BrainSurge. Some people say the show teaches kids facts.
How do you know whether a TV show can make you smart? Think about what you learn from watching, says Aletha Huston. She is a TV expert. But, she warns, don't spend too much time watching. “Limit the amount you watch. Get off the couch and do something else.” TV Guide
This pie chart (饼状图) shows how long kids ages 6－11 use different types of TV technology each week.
39．The underlined word “focused” can be replaced by ________. A．aimed B．unusual C．suitable D．pleasant 40．What is the main idea of the text? A．BrainSurge helps kids learn facts. B．Kids do not watch proper TV shows.
C．Kids today watch more TV than they did before.
D．More TV shows today are created for kids ages 6－11.
41．According to the pie chart, kids spend the least time using________. A．Video games B．VCR C．DVD D．TV
42．How many kinds of TV technology are mentioned in the chart? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.

Watching news about the environment on TV can be sad. The problems seem so big that it's difficult to imagine how one single person can do anything about them. Rebecca Hosking, however, thought differently.
Rebecca is a wildlife camerawoman and she was filming a documentary (纪录片) for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her cry — hundreds of birds that had died because they had accidentally eaten the plastic that was thrown into the sea. Beaches on Pacific islands that should have been the most beautiful places in the world were covered with plastic toys, drinks bottles, pens — every plastic thing you can think of.
Rebecca decided she had to do something. Back at home she thought about what she could do to help solve the problem of plastic. In her hometown of Modbury, she asked local shopkeepers to stop using plastic bags in their shops.
Plastic bags are used everywhere in Britain — every supermarket, every shop. The numbers are amazing. Britain uses nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. And the bags can take hundreds of years to break down because they are chemical rather than natural so each year the sea and the environment become more and more polluted. To Rebecca's surprise, the shopkeepers agreed and Modbury became the first plastic
bag free town in Britain. Instead, shops offered cotton bags.
Other towns followed Modbury's example and towns around Britain and around the world are becoming plastic bag free. It won't solve all of the world's environmental problems, but it shows that people are becoming active and starting to think about how the little things in their daily lives can have a big influence. It also shows us that there is something we can do and that one person can make a big change with a strong enough belief.
43．What do we know about Rebecca?
A．She owns a shop. B．She works as a reporter.
C．She makes videos of wildlife. D．She organized an environmental group. 44．At first, Rebecca thought to persuade the shopkeepers to stop using plastic bags would be ________.
A．a piece of cake B．hard C．impossible D．a waste of time 45．We can learn from the text that________. A．small actions may have great importance
B．some shops in Modbury are still offering plastic bags C．plastic bags may take thousands of years to break down D．some birds in the Pacific Ocean are fond of eating plastic 46．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．The Plastic Pollution B．The Shopkeepers' Contributions C．The Bag Lady D．Life of Sea Animals

The Gen-90s are coming!
Wearing earphones, using complicated Net language and constantly text-messaging
friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut(亮相)．
Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s profile.
Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might give these
young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-indulgent look. Of course, life is not
always music to the ears. Martian Language

Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand.
This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers. Self-portrait
Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is common for this generation. A little bit of narcissism(自恋)never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online. Text-messaging
They can type as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. Nevertheless, oral communication is important and will never go out of style. 47．Who are the intended readers of the passage?

D．the similarities between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90s
50．According to this passage, which is FALSE? A．Not all teens are cautious about posting photos. B．They can type as fast as they speak. C．The Gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even regard them as a
necessary part of life.
