A few years ago, a new transportation vehicle （交通工具） called the Segway was invented. Its inventor, Dean Kamen, called it the world's first self-balancing individual transportation vehicle for short distance travel. He said it was meant to reduce pollution and solve other environmental problems.
The Segway looks like a large stick with two wheels. The wheels are connected to a platform. The stick has handles for a person to hold. The person stands on the platform and holds the handles. The transporter moves forward or backward when the person moves his or her body in that direction. The driver turns the handles to go left or puters and gyroscope（陀螺仪） on the Segway make it move and balance. Powered by electricity, it can travel at speeds of nineteen kilometres an hour.
A Segway costs about five thousand dollars. Many people say it is too costly. However, people who have bought a Segway say it is very useful. This is especially true for people who have trouble walking because of medical problems. They report that a Segway makes it possible for them to join others on walks and to travel to their jobs. Other people use the Segway instead of their cars for short trips. They say it is a great way to save money on gas.

I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A's in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged （唠叨） him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks' home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept（哭泣） bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it.
28. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A. His good grades got him a good job.
B. He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely.
C. His views on social values are well known.
D. He is content with his academic achievements.
29. Which role does the author play in his parents' relationship
A. A helper. B. A judge. C. A monitor. D. A supporter.
30. What is the greatest accomplishment for the author
A. The contribution to volunteering. B. The success in exams.
C. The recovery of confidence in life. D. The work in community service.
31. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean
A. To depend on. B. To think carefully and deeply about.
C. To pay attention to. D. To have a check on.
D
I decided to write the article on British Sign Language (BSL) being taught in school. This is because both of my parents are completely deaf which means they can't hear at all and another reason why I decided to do this topic is that I have realised how much of a problem it has become.
It might come to a surprise to learn that nearly all communication is non-verbal （非语言的） and only a little bit is verbal. Over half of the non-verbal communication is body language. Deaf pupils often struggle in school because they can't get proper help from their teachers as they might not understand each other.
Sign Language is a language that uses hand gestures and body language. These are different ways of communication that deaf or hard of hearing people use to communicate with people. Some deaf people are what you might call“mute”， which means they use Sign Language but don't use speech. Other deaf people may use speech, most of whom either use hearing aids or have a cochlear implant （人工耳蜗） which can help them hear.
By teaching BSL it would open doors for the deaf community and it would reduce a lot of language barriers（障碍） between deaf and hearing people. The more people learning BSL through education means that it would give deaf people more options for further education and good jobs. By teaching Sign Language in school it can help deaf awareness. With young people growing up and learning it together there wouldn't be a problem with getting jobs.
I think that deaf awareness is better than it used to be but it still isn't good enough. In the end teaching Sign Language will be the best for everyone. There would be less language barriers, which means communication will be easier between hearing people and deaf people.
32. What made the author write the text
A. His own hearing problem. B. The difficulty of the deaf.
C. The school's sincere invitation. D. His parents' encouragement.
33. What's the deaf pupils' problem at school
A. They are too shy to ask for help.
B. Their classmates use body language.
C. Their teachers are unwilling to help them.
D. They have difficulty communicating with others.
34. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 4
A. We should offer deaf people good jobs.
B. Schools should teach British Sign Language.
C. Schools should provide further education for the deaf.
D. Young people should learn more about Sign Language.
35. What does the author think of deaf awareness
A. It is nearly close to success.
B. It still needs to be improved.
C. It isn't understood by hearing people.
D. It's bad for breaking language barriers.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's natural for people to compare themselves with their peers. Peer pressure is a force that nearly everyone has faced at some point. If it's not well handled, there might be some destructive consequences. 36 Below are tips on how to deal with peer pressure and avoid making tough decisions that may trigger unfavorable outcomes.
Find positive influence
At any age, it's beneficial to stay involved with extracurricular activities like sports, music, art, or other hobbies. Team building activities can help increase self-confidence and create a support system that allows an individual to succeed. Additionally, enjoying hobbies and other harmless pastimes like exercising can release feel-good hormones. 37
Plan ahead
Experiencing peer pressure, especially when in an unfriendly environment, can cause a person to panic and make impulsive decisions. 38 Think of different situations that spark discomfort and think about how to deal with peer pressure. It's ok to give excuses to avoid making decisions that you may feel are not right for you.
39
Positive influences, usually parents or siblings, can teach you how to deal with peer pressure directly. Having a trusted friend, family member, or another resource to call on can relieve some of the everyday life stresses. They can be there to give advice or just support the decisions you've made that you feel are right for you.
Convey feelings and emotions
Honesty goes a long way in reducing the harmful effects of peer pressure. Speak to the person or group of people who may be causing feelings of unease or uncertainty and kindly ask them to stop. 40
A. Talk to a trusted resource.
B. Don't be afraid to find new groups.
C. Unfortunately, peer pressure is difficult to avoid.
D. Therefore, it's essential to know how to deal with it.
E. So, it's best to have a plan that can help map out a response.
F. They can help reduce anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems.
G. It's ok to distance yourself from those who are not serving you in a positive aspect.

Dear Mark,
Knowing that you are upset because of the relationship with your parents, I feel quite sorry. Actually, I've been there before. My parents have always taken good care of me, but their particular attention on my academic grades annoys me a lot, which put me under great pressure.
But things get better now, so I'd like to offer some suggestions to help you out. First, adopt a listening ear and an open heart, because the key to a good family relationship lies in mutual understanding. Second, beer gratitude in mind and learn to see our parents' unconditional love hidden behind their caring behavior.
I sincerely hope the advice mentioned above will help you improve your family relationship, and I believe you will do it well.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Li Hua.
