Linda Evans was my best friend like the sister I never had. We did everything together; piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new houses, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I need to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagmans—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Ms Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagmans is my mother.” Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall To climb need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing’ attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.
8. What can we infer from the passage
A. Climbing is beneficial to one’s mind and body.
B. It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.
C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.
D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.
9. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is ________.
A. to tie ropes to your harness B. to control your fear
C. to move away from the wall D. to climb straight up
10. What does the underlined word “workout” in the last paragraph most probably mean
A. Settlement. B. Exercise. C. Excitement. D. Tiredness.
11. Where do you suppose this text comes from
A. A science book. B. A research report.
C. A sports magazine. D. A sports history book.
D
To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..
We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
12. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ______.
A. a symbol of honor B. a symbol of power
C. protection against the sun D. protection against the rain
13. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident__________.
A. Babylon B. China
C. Egypt D. Rome
14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life
B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages
C. The umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient times
D. The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot since it was invented
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The sales of the umbrella B. The history and the use of the umbrella
C. The invention of the umbrella D. The differences among umbrellas

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall To climb need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing’ attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..
We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

【16题详解】
由上文“Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them (有些孩子喜欢手写，但另一些孩子讨厌该把笔写在纸上的时候。也许他们担心自己的笔迹。你是他们中的一员吗？)”可知，有些孩子因为担心自己的书写而讨厌写字；下文“Here are five steps that really work!(以下是五个真正有效的步骤！)”说明了有一些行之有效的步骤；F选项The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.(好消息是，几乎每个人都能提高自己的书写水平)提出了书写水平是能够提高的，对于不喜欢书写的孩子而言是好消息，承接了上文，而且也引出了下文改善书写的步骤，符合题意。故选F项。
【17题详解】
由本段的小标题“Get a great grasp(好好把握)”可知，本段主要论述的是掌握好抓握；上文“Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier.(试试这个——把你的铅笔放在顶端，试着写下你的名字。很难吗？但是，当你正确地拿着铅笔时，写作就容易多了)”说明了抓握方法不当会导致书写困难，但是正确的抓握会使得书写变简单；后文“Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.(用拇指、食指和中指将其固定到位)”说明了抓握的正确姿势；G选项The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.(拿铅笔最好的方法是把它放在大拇指的根部)承接上文说明了正确的抓握是什么样的，同时引起下文对于抓握的进一步论述，符合题意。故选G项。
【18题详解】
由上文“Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡).(线条纸是你的朋友！这些线条可以帮助你创建正确大小和比例的字母) ”论述了线条对于保证书写的大小和比例是有帮助的；下文“Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.(此外，一定要将排列好的空间完全填满。这些大写字母应该从最下面的一行到最上面的一行)”说明了在具体书写时候的要求；C选项So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.(所以a应该是大写a的一半高)中的so承接上文，具体说明了书写的大小和比例要求，同时与下文的also形成并列关系，符合题意。故选C项。
【19题详解】
由下文“ That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. (这使得制作平滑的线条变得更加困难)”说明了有一种方式会很难画出流畅线条；E选项Some kids press down really hard when they write.(有些孩子写字时压得很重)就是会导致难以画出流畅线条的方式，后文的that就是指E选项的press down really hard，且E选项中的really hard与后文too hard对应，所以E选项符合题意。故选E项。
【20题详解】
设空处位于小标题处，参考前文三个小标题可知，要用祈使句形式，所以设空处要选择一个能概括下文所有内容的祈使句；下文“Lots of games need you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pencil better.(很多游戏都需要你写字或画画。所以，即使这不是作业，你仍然在使用你需要的技能来更好地控制你的铅笔)”说明了在游戏中通过写和画可以练习控制铅笔的技能，A选项Play games(玩游戏)为祈使句且概括了下文的内容，符合题意。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了父母和青少年关系紧张的原因，并提出了解决办法。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：青少年与父母关系不和是很常见的。分析句子结构，It作形式主语，所以空处应用不定式，作真正的主语。故填to have。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：青少年的生理和心理变化可能会导致这种家庭紧张。result in为固定短语，意为“导致”。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你也可能难以平衡不断发展的心理需求。have difficulty (in) doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“做某事有困难”，动名词作宾语。故填balancing。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：你经常陷入两难境地，既有新的独立欲望，又继续需要父母的爱和支持。空处应用名词作宾语，independence意为“独立”，为不可数名词。故填independence。

考查连词。句意：当你的父母把你当孩子看待，却希望你表现得像个成年人时，这可能会很困难，可能会导致你们的关系破裂。“treat you like a child”和“expect you to act like ____6____adult”之间是转折关系，且treat和expect均作谓语，所以应用连词but。故填but。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意参考上题。adult为可数名词，此处为泛指，且发音以元音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：尽管有时作为一个家庭似乎不可能和睦相处，但你可以采取行动来改善这种情况。分析句子结构并结合句意，“sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family”和“you can take action to improve the situation”之间是让步关系，空处引导让步状语从句，应用although, though或while引导。故填Although/Though/While。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：承受由亲子关系紧张引起的压力是完全正常的。分析句子结构，空处引导定语从句，先行词是stress，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，应用that或which引导。故填that/which。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：幸运的是，这段冲突不断的时期不会持续太久。空处修饰后文句子，应用副词fortunately，意为“幸运地”。故填Fortunately。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：最后一切都会好起来的，青少年时期的变化和挑战会让你为成年做好准备。根据句中的“in the end”和“will prepare”可知，这里应用一般将来时。故填will turn。

When Rigo shouted goodbye as he left for school, his mother shook her head, “Rigo! Be quiet！” When his father drove him to school, Rigo said, “Hey! There's Chris！” He pointed at his friend, who was walking to school.His father shook his head.“Rigo, use a quiet voice in the car.” At school, his teacher talked to him three times about using his quiet voice.His classmates shook their heads, throwing an upset look at him when he talked aloud.
Later, Rigo had to sit by himself for a while.His teacher wanted him to practice being quiet.Rigo had to sit quietly for five minutes.It felt like five hours or five days.When the five minutes was up, Rigo went to his desk and sat quietly.It was not easy.
After school, Rigo was waiting for his father when he saw Chris again “Hey！” he yelled.“Chris! Hey！” The headmaster was walking by.Rigo was sure he was going to get in trouble for his loud voice.He looked quickly at the ground.Maybe the headmaster would keep walking.
