If you want to watch an original play, you can choose _. A. AmlieB. The Antipodes C. The Chocolate Factory D. IndecentBLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher. If I have learned anything in my 18 years, it is munication that is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let others know how you are feeling. If you are not able to municate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything. munication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you cant just e home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say Hi, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word munication in a dictionary, it would say the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information, correspondence (通信), means of munication: a letter or a message. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep munication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. munication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. munication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, tell the other person how you feel - listening is the key factor to munication.24. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. The disagreement between generations.B. The importance of munication.C. The great importance of keeping silent.D. The necessity of making your feeling known. 25. When parents and children are in munication, the key to a happy relationship is that _.A. parents should listen to their childrenB. children should always obey their parentsC. parents and children should not yell or ignoreD. equality plays a part in family munication 26. What does the example in this passage prove?A. Sophies parents did a good job in listening to her.B. Children should first explain themselves to their parents. C. munication is the solution to misunderstanding.D. Parents would be mad at their childrens returning home late.27. What can we learn from the passage?A. Walk away instead of yelling if munication fails. B. It is better to say Hi to others than say nothing.C. Talking is more important than listening in munication.D. You should feel good about yourself when municating.CMass munication has been growing and affecting the way munities and people behave. At every stage of the development of munication, from the telegraph to the Internet, societies have had to adapt to its effects. But have the effects been more positive or negative?The saying “knowledge is power” has been an excellent motivator for people to improve their lives, but today the massive amount of information available through the Internet doesnt always seem to be helping people in the way wed hoped. Rather than improving peoples lives and bringing us closer together, the information age is making us more divided and irresponsible.Nevertheless, many people find fort in their virtual (虚拟的) worlds and are happy to connect with real-life friends and online friends from the familiar surroundings of their living rooms. However, being able to reinvent themselves online and be whoever they want to be leads to the question of whether they are losing their identities by living in a virtual world. Its not all bad news, however. Mass munication has helped change some attitudes for the better. Take our views on the environment for example. Internet campaigns by governments and other organizations have helped popularize the ideas of recycling, protecting wildlife and reducing pollution.Modern electronic munication now influences every aspect of our lives - it is a powerful tool that has raised some concerns for society. However, it has also brought countless benefits to society. At the end of the day, it can be used both for good or evil, which largely relies on the morals and sense of responsibility of the individual or munity involved. In short, it needs to be used with care.28. According to the text, the information age today _.A. helps people improve their livesB. fully shows Knowledge is powerC. makes people feel more connected to othersD. fails to achieve our expectations sometimes29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. People only connect with online friends.B. Online friends can be forting for all people.C. Virtual lives can make people clear of who they are. D. The Internet helps to raise our environmental awareness.30. What is the writers attitude to electronic munication in the last paragraph?A. It should be used in a cautious way. B. It does more harm than good to society.C. Its side effects cant be handled by individuals.D. It should be strictly controlled by the government. 31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The fort of the virtual worlds. B. The effects of mass munication. C. The development of mass munication. D. The way to use modern mass munication. D Do cell phones cause cancer? No one knows for sure. Mobile phones have only been widely used for around 20 years, with the very first ones introduced just over 30 years ago. Its too soon to tell just how harmful cell phones are.In February xx, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recorded changes in brain glucose metabolism (葡萄糖代谢) during cell phone use. The study became the first to prove that cell phone use changes brain activity by monitoring 47 healthy volunteers seated and on the phone for 50 minutes. The volunteers brains were monitored by special scanners to measure glucose metabolism. Then in May xx, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) added radiation from cell phones to its list of substances that possibly cause cancer in humans. The IARCs research found that most cell phone use did not lead to more risk of glioma, a dangerous type of brain cancer, or meningioma, a more mon, but typically not harmful cancer. However, the study did find enough evidence that using cell phones for long periods of time on the same side of the head could mean an increased risk of glioma.In a contrasting report released in July xx, a British Institute of Cancer Research study found little evidence of cancer risk in 10 to 15 years of use. The study showed that there have been no increases in brain tumors (肿瘤) in several countries over the last 30 years since cell phones were introduced or even in the last 20 years since their use became more widespread.With no long-term research available yet, limiting exposure to cell phone radiation by texting more and talking less is remended. Stay off the phone when you have a weak signal, as it will need more radiation to contact the tower. Phone use for children should also be limited because their brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation.32. We cant be sure whether cell phones cause cancer because _.A. there has been little research on the problem up to now B. its difficult to track the bad effects of cell phone radiation C. different studies has been arguing fiercely about this problemD. there has been little evidence of it given the short history of cell phones33. What did the IARC find from their research?A. Radiation from the cell phone is certain to cause some brain cancers.B. Using cell phone for long periods of time could increase the risk of cancer.C. Cell phone use is more likely to cause a mon cancer than a dangerous one.D. Staying away from cell phones with weak signal can reduce the risk of cancer.34. What is remended to reduce the harm from cell phone use?A. Staying far away from the signal tower. B. Using cell phones when the signal is weak.C. Limiting childrens exposure to cell phones.D. Talking more and texting less via cell phones.35. What does “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. A cell phone.B. The phone user. C. The phone radiation.D. The cell phone signal. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（E 涂,F涂,G涂）The daily life of a high school student is busy and often very stressful. 36 How can you deal with it?
