A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早戀）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression（憂郁癥）．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all．
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “l(fā)oss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “l(fā)ose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “l(fā)oss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls．Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．
Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing．Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early．During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help．The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．
小題1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Romance is good for young people．
B．Parents should forbid their children’s love．
C．Romance is a two ­edged sword for adults．
D．Puppy love may bring young people depression．

A．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions．
B．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior．
C．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness．
D．Careless parents whose children are deep in love．
小題3:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly．
B．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance．
C．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression．
D．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents．
小題4:What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
A．ConfusedB．Scared
C．DisinterestedD．Disapproving

The royal family is a part of British history and cultural identity.
Up until the 17th century, people believed that the British king or queen had a “divine(天賜的)right” to rule. This was the idea that God chose the king or queen and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea was challenged during the English Civil War, when King Charles the First was put in prison and then killed in 1649.
So what role does the British royal family have today?
The Queen is head of the UK and the Commonwealth. She has important formal duties that go with her different titles. As Head of State, for example, she represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK；as Head of the Armed Forces in name, only she can declare when the UK is at war or when a war is over. She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day.
Although the royal family does the work for the UK, there are British people called“anti-monarchists(反君主制者)”who do not believe there should be a royal family. One criticism(批評(píng)意見(jiàn))is that the British people should not have to pay for the royal family with their taxes(稅).
Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant(相關(guān)的)in the modern world. The Queen still gives a speech to the nation on television at Christmas, but it gets less and less formal every year；now it is even available as a podcast(播客).
In 2005, after graduating from university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many ordinary young British people do in their gap years.
小題1:What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?
A．The British king or queen is considered above the law.
B．The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649.
C．The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right.
D．The royal family didn’t play an important role in Britain in the 17 th century.
小題2:Which of the following is among the formal duties of the Queen?
A．Traveling around the UK.
B．Declaring when the world is at war.
C．Inviting other leaders to have dinner with her.
D．Signing Commonwealth documents every day.
小題3:With the example of Prince William in the last paragraph, the author intends to show that         .
A．Prince William is very popular in the UK
B．the royal family is trying to connect better with ordinary people
C．Prince William has made an effort to win young people’s admiration
D．many young British people do voluntary work
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A．the royal family doesn’t have to pay taxes
B．the British people are all in favor of the royal family
C．the British people can talk to the Queen through a podcast
D．the royal family attacks republicans through media and press

Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (無(wú)知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don’t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.
I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmers. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
小題1:The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell us that _____.
A．radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way
B．it is a fact
C．it is a good idea
D．some people have unclear thoughts
小題2:Some calls waste the host’s time __________.
A．because the host works hard
B．because of the caller’s ignorance
C．because the host likes talking to the caller
D．because of a lot of questions raised by the caller

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A while one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valuable than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting cards stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
小題1: Which is not a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

Diao Weihao, a student who studies business English at the Chengdu campus of Sichuan International Studies University, was in his dormitory when the earthquake struck at 2:30 pm on Monday.
The 22-year-old felt that his chair was shaking. All of a sudden, the textbooks on the bookshelf began to fall to the floor. The glass in the window broke.
“It felt like our dormitory building was being hit by a tractor,” recalled Diao. “I wasn’t afraid.. I was even excited and curious. Now, looking back, it was a scary experience.”
Diao and his roommates kept their calm. They didn’t try to get out of the building until the shaking stopped. They were on the fifth floor and they feared there might be trouble if they didn’t remain calm.
“We’ve watched lots of disaster films, and that helped us keep cool,” he said. “Only one student sprained（扭傷） his ankle. He was escaping in a hurry. Most of us got outside quickly and safely.”
They were surprised to see so many students outside.
“I began to realize then what had happened,” he said. The college had warned them that in the event of an earthquake, they should leave the dormitory immediately. A few did rush in when it was safe to grab some clothes to keep warm.
Without any tents or bedding, the students stayed on the football field for the whole night. Rain started falling in the morning, but the students all kept in good order. They simply chatted and shared their feelings and comforted each other.
“Our students seemed to have self-control,” he said. “I heard that hospitals in Chengdu have lots of injured people who jumped out of buildings.”
Now, Diao is mostly worried about the people in Wenchuan County.
“It seems we won’t be able to have classes in one or two day’s time,” said Diao. “I want to become a volunteer at the damage-hit area, or donate my blood to the injured people in hospital. Also, I will write on my blog to keep people calm and encourage them to protect themselves during emergencies.”
Since the university is close to Dujiangyan, Diao and his classmates are still forbidden to return to their dorms or classrooms. However, they can eat in the canteen and get information about other parts of Sichuan by reading the newspapers.

By 2012，the world may need to cope with as many as 50 million people who have fled their homeland，not for political or economic reasons but because the environment has been so badly changed that it cannot support life. The statement has been released by the United Nations to mark UN Disaster Reduction Day.
More people are made homeless by environmental disasters than by war，according to the research by the Red Cross. That reality is proved by the earthquake in Pakistan.
The widely publicized disaster has brought aid from the global community，according to Janos Bogardi，director of the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security. “If we can move swiftly in and give them a new start where they are，then they may stay in the area. Otherwise，they become environmental refugees. Environmental­related migrations are most acute in Sub­Saharan Africa，but they also affect millions of people in Asia and India. Meanwhile，the United States is witnessing increased pressure from victims of mismanaged and worsening soil and water conditions in Mexico and Latin America.” he says. Janos Bogardi says these refugees suffer from the impact of gradual environmental change—global warming，sea level rise，air and water pollution and more intense storms，floods and droughts that degrade the land. This is a slow process，but unfortunately a process that is very difficult to go backwards once final damage is done.
Janos Bogardi says they are calling on the global community to recognize the serious situation of environmental refugees and to work together to lessen the impact of environmental disaster.
小題1:What may be the best title of the passage?
A．50 Million environmental refugees by 2010
B．Environmental refugees—an international problem
C．The cause of environmental disasters
D．Global aid pouring in
小題2:Janos Bogardi’s attitude towards solving the problem is that of being ________.
A．constructive　　　　　　　B．compromising
C．controversialD．conservative
小題3:According to the passage，the following are the main reasons for migrations except ________.
A．earthquakeB．water conditions
C．global communityD．worsening soil
小題4:What is implied in the passage?
A．People all over the world have realized the impact of environmental disasters on refugees.
B．It is time for us to take some measures to solve the problem of environmental refugees.
C．The damaged soil can recover soon if people take care of it.
D．It is good for people to go elsewhere to make a living.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb, sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers.org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.
小題1:The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because          .
A．they were not heading towards Manchester
B．they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous
C．hitchhiking had been handed and they didn’t want to break the law
D．he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking
B．Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.
C．25% of UK people don’t have access to cars.
D．Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking.
小題3:The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves” in Paragraph 3 most likely means    .
A．murderous hitchhikersB．friendly and talkative hitchhikers
C．typical hitchhikersD．strange hitchhikers like the author
小題4:According to the author, future hitchhikers are more likely to                .
A．visit websites and find people to share cars with
B．stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out
C．stick out signs with their destinations written on
D．wait for some kind people to pick them up
小題5:From the last paragraph, we know that the author         .
A．frequently hitchhikes in Britain
B．plans to hitchhike across Europe
C．thinks public transport is safer for travel
D．is going to contact the tank commander

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic（流行�。�. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆轉(zhuǎn)潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18—20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐�。゛nd organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
小題1:What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A．Young drivers were usually bad.
B．The legal drinking age should be raised.
C．Some drivers didn’t surprise the legal drinking age.
D．Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
小題2:The underlined word “l(fā)enient” in the first paragraph means          .
A．mercifulB．cruelC．seriousD．determined
小題3:As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because        .
A．judges are no longer lenient
B．new laws are introduced in some states
C．drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D．the problem has attracted public attention
小題4:Which of the following statements best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?
A．It is difficult to solve this problem.
B．It may lead to organized crime.
C．The new laws can stop heavy drinking
D．There should be no bars to serve drinks.
