15、culture. That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they dont usually get very drunk. Thats not true anymore. The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. Now, the city of Milan has created a l

16、aw that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700. Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective. The US has the highest drinking age in the world: Its illegal for anyone u

17、nder 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses. Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: They are allowed to vote in elections and join the military at age 18, so why wait another thre

18、e years just to buy a bottle of beer? These young people have found help in an unusual place. Last year, more than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. They argued that the law doesnt stop underage college kids from getting drunk i

19、t just makes them want to drink more. For now, the law seems unlikely to change. But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north to Canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18. Throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18. I

20、n plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it. No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless (不顾后果的) drinking behavior m

21、ay come at a high price. 31. The new law by the city of Milan _.A. aims to keep Italys sipping culture alive B. is welcomed by Italian adult people C. has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunkD. forbids selling alcohol to people under 16 32. Which of the following places has the lowest

22、 drinking age? A. Mexico B. New York C. Milan D. Canada33. Many US university presidents want lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age because they _.A. have received complaints from many young Americans about the unfairness of the lawsB. agree that people old enough to vote and join the army

23、 should be allowed to drinkC. dont want to see US teenagers going to neighboring countries for a drinkD. believe that the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them34. We can infer from the passage that _. A. Restaurants in the US dont sell alcohol to people under 21 for

24、fear of a $700fine B. In many places shop owners dont mind selling alcohol to underage customers C. The author thinks that US teenagers should go to Canada or Mexico to drinkD. Teens in Milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behavior BIf you feel at present that you dont have e

25、nough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we dont get aroun

26、d to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have. Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry! Are there any people you could cal

27、l right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life? If you havent seen much of them lately, is it because you

28、have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument? If the main reason why you havent been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your

29、busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want? If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never

30、say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you? Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time

31、 for the things that are truly most important to you. If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.35. In this passage the author mainly discusses _. A. how to balance friendship and work B. how to spend our spare time C. whether

32、we should keep friendship D. whether we should invite friends to dinner36. Which of the following doesnt indicate a good relationship? A. You have someone to count on when you are in trouble. B. You have someone to have close talks with. C. You feel depressed with others in life. D. You have fun whe

33、n you are with someone.37. The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that_. A. you spend too much time seeking material toys in your life B. you feel it difficult to keep friendship C. you stick to doing everything all by yourself D. you never refuse whatever ot

34、her people ask you to do38. The best title for the passage may be _A. Too busy for Friendship? B. Too busy with work?C. How to Spend Your Time. D. How to Make New Friends.CLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and

35、our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and community who w

36、ill listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a gen

37、uine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Micha

38、el Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the Bri

39、tish Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committ

40、ee meetings endless. 39. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _.A. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans40. According to

41、 the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _.A. they have a vision from the mountaintopB. they have warm feelings and emotionsC. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confident41. Madonna and Michael Jackson

42、are not considered heroes because _.A. they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB. their performances do not improve their fans morallyC. their primary concern is their own financial interestsD. they are not clear about the principles they should follow42. The author concludes that histor

43、ical changes would _.A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalitiesDWriting articles about films for The Front Page was my

44、 first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had also written for television. He hired me, but Tom was not primar

45、ily a journalist, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.At first, his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didnt require specialized knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our

46、choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover, though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.It all felt like a bit of dream at that time: a new newspaper and I was one of the team. It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded ma

47、rket. It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally, and was pretending to employ me. Such was my lack of self-confidence.Toms original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didnt get together as planned and so everything was

48、done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Toms initial push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write an extended weekly piece, usually on

49、one film.The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public arena (舞台)? I assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. So if a fil

50、m review isnt really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly dont feel I have a responsibility to be right about a movie. Nor do I think there should be a certain number of great and bad films each year. All I have to do is put forward an argument. Im not a judge, and nor would I want to be.43. Wh

51、at do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph?A. He encouraged the writer to become a writer.B. He met the writer when working for television.C. He had worked in various areas of the media.D. He prefers to employ people that he knows. 44. The weekly lunches were planned in order to _.A. h

52、elp the writers get to know each otherB. distribute the work that had to be doneC. provide an informal information sessionD. entertain important visitors from the arts45. What does the author mean when he says that Toms plan never took off in Paragraph 4?A. Toms plan was unpopular.B. Toms plan waste

53、d too much time.C. Toms plan wasnt planned properly.D. Toms plan wasnt put into practice.46. Which of the following best describes what the writer says about his work?A. He can freely express his opinion.B. He prefers to write about films he likes.C. His success varies from year to year.D. He writes

54、 according to accepted rules.E Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm the first mobile film festival. The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries.

55、Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.New Platforms The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform f
