who chooses your friends? do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? have you got a good friend your parents dont like?8. many teenagers think their _ know them better than their parents do. a. friends b. teachers c. brothers and sisters d. classmates9. when teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to _.a. go to their friends b. talk with their parentsc. have a discussion with their family d. talk with their friends on the phone10. which of the following sentences is true?a. teenagers can only go to their friends for help.b. parents should like everything their children enjoy.c. in all families, children can choose everything they like.d. parents should try their best to understand their children better.11. the main idea of this passage is that _. a. teenagers need good friends b. friends can give good advice c. parents often choose friends for their childrend. good friends can communicate with each other.dsome houses are designed to be smart. others have smart designs. an example of the second type of house won the award of excellence from the american institute of architects.located on the shore of sullivans island off the coast of south carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one damaged by hurricane hugo years ago. in september 1989, hugo struck south carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.before hugo, many new houses built along south carolinas shoreline were poorly constructed, according to architect ray huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. now all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. the new beach house on sullivans island should be strong enough not to be damaged by a category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometres per hour.at first sight, the house on sullivans island looks anything but hurricane-proof. its redwood shell makes it look like “a large party lantern” at night. but looks can be deceiving. the houses wooden frame is strengthened with long steel rods(杆) to give it extra strength.to further protect the house from hurricane damage, huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings(木桩) buried deep in the sand. pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. they also raise the house above storm waves. the pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “the waves of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said huff.huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed(隐藏) by the houses ground-to-roof shell. “the shell masks the pilings so that the house doesnt look like its standing with its legs pulled up,” said huff. in the event of storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.12. after hurricane hugo, new houses built along south carolinas shore line are required to . a. be easily pulled down b. look smarter in design c. meet stricter building standards d. be designed to be cube-shaped13. the award-winning beach house is quite strong because .a. it is strengthened by steel rods b. it is made of redwoodc. it is in the shape of a shell d. it is built with timber and concrete14. huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to .a. avoid peak winds of about 200 km/h b. bury stronger pilings deep in the sandc. break huge sea waves into smaller one d. prevent the waves from running into it15. it can be inferred from the passage that the houses shell should be .a. smooth b. waterproof c. easily broken apart d. extremely hard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人空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。 weight loss is a hard topic. lots of people arent satisfied with their present weight, but most people arent sure how to change it. you may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on tv, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you . 16 so what should you do about your weight control? 17 the best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian. 18 if it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss, then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started. 19 people who lose weight quickly by crash dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they havent permanently changed their habits. therefore, the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime.small changes are a lot easier to stick with than large ones. try reducing the size of what you eat. milk is to most peoples taste.20 its a good idea to maintain a healthy weight because its just that: healthy.atry giving up regular soda for a week.btry to pay attention as you eat and stop when youre full.cweight management is about long-term success.dbesides, no magical diet will make you look like someone else.ebeing healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you.fit makes sense to change from whole to nonfat or low-fat milk .gthey will compare your weight with healthy standards and help you set goals.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。my father and i disagreed about curfew (晚间在家的时间). hed say i was to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. i told him it made me21like a junior-high kid. he explained that while a curfew 22sound like a restriction, its really about people looking out for one another. the very next friday after that pretty heated23, my dad and i had tickets to see our towns professional football game. on that day he was24to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and25me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight. to make sure we could26off the moment he walked in, i got everything prepared. when a half hour had passed from the time he said hed be home, i understood that he was a little27. but then, nearly a whole hour passed. i was getting28. we were going to miss the kick-off! and why hadnt he29me and let me know he was going to be really late?
