Katie 82
When I was a teenager, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was more responsible than today’s teenagers. After school, I had to do lots of jobs at home. My parents were really angry when I didn’t do my chores. Today’s teenagers are lazier. They come home from school and then play computer games for the rest of the day.
Sarah 45
Young people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nowadays aren’t better or worse than young people in the past. Teenagers today have the same problems that we did. They’re worried about finding their own identity(身份) and their own place in the world. I once read this quotation: “Children nowadays just love the easy life. They’re bad mannered, have no respect for authority or for older people, and they make their teachers mad.” Do you know who said that It was Socrates（苏格拉底）. He lived about 2,400 years ago.
Patty 52
In the media, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) they always say that teenagers have easy life. They say they’re lazy and irresponsible. But I work with young people and lots of them are responsible and hard-working. I also meet teenagers who are opposite. Isn’t it the same with adults Perhaps teenagers have more money now. And they have lots of modern gadgets like MP3 players. But those things don’t always make life easier or make you happier!
Ned 23
Who says teenagers hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e an easy life Exams are harder now than in the past. It’s more difficult to get a job so your marks need to be higher. The media make us worry about our appearance nowadays too; so a lot of teenagers aren’t happy. They think they should be taller or thinner, like the people they see on TV. Maybe the problems are different from the past. But that doesn’t make life easier. It’s probably the opposite!
Who thinks “Teenagers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) nowadays have a harder life than teenagers in the past”
A. Katie B, Sarah C. Patty D. Ned
What does the underline word “opposite” mean in Paragraph 3

【2013北京市石景山区第二次统一练习】C
There were smilin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave（挥手）to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always trav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not relish the long train journey and had brought along many magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sat down and started to read magazines.
It was not lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive, I decided to wave back.
From then on my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. When my uncle arrived, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug（拥抱）. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
53. The writer expected the train trip to be ______.
A. dangerous B. pleasant C. exciting D. boring
54. What’s the mea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ning of the underlined word “relish” in Paragraph 2
A. Choose. B. Enjoy. C. Prepare for. D. Carry on.
55. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Pleasure of living in the country.
B. Reading gives people happiness.
C. Comfort in traveling by train.
D. Smiles brighten people up.

Easter is still a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) great day for worship（敬拜）, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for rabbits.
And no, not becaus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e the kids like to pull their ears. The point is because of weather change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five kinds of rabbits in the US.
Take the Lower Ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys Marsh rabbit as an example. It lives on the islands, but it is seriously affected（影响）now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of 0.9-meter would destroy their living place completely.
The snowshoe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hare, on the other hand, has a color problem. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, which gives them better cover from predators (捕食者) . As the number of days with snow becoming less, more and more rabbits are being left in white fur during the days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators.
American ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pikas or rock rabbits might be the first of these species to go die out because of the weather change. Pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally move to higher ground – but they already live on the mountaintops. They can’t go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their living place heats up.
The volcano ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rabbit has the same problem. Recent studies have shown that their lower living place has already moved upward about 700 meters, but there are not right plants for them to move higher, so they have to stay in the middle.
Native to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their living places have been destroyed by development. They also live on winter cover, but lesser snowfall is leaving them unprotected.
All of these gi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve new meaning to dressing up in a huge rabbit costume（服装）this Easter.
56. Why does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )writer mention Easter at the beginning of the passage
A. To raise the problem about rabbits.
B. To remind people of Easter traditions.
C. To show the importance of Easter Day.
D. To discuss the relationship between Easter and rabbits.
57. Why can some rabbits be easily discovered by predators now
A. Because they have moved to the places with fewer plants.
B. Because they can hardly live on color cover as before.
C. Because they can’t change their color into white.
D. Because they are left to more skillful hunters.
58. What is the problem faced by rock rabbits and volcano rabbits
A. They are both affected by less snow.
B. Neither of them can find enough food.
C. Neither of them can move to higher place.
D. They are both affected by rising sea levels.
59. What can you infer from the passage
A. Predators are more skillful than before.
B. The weather is getting much hotter now.
C. There will be no rabbit costume for Easter soon.
D. People should care more about the rabbit problem.

When I was ten my da ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult (成人的) world.
I spent that summer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner (囚犯) of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to catch up. Just before the Christmas, which was also the time to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways to pay off my debt (债). I was now a real bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Christmas m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orning, my dad gave me a used portable record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “I have one more gift for you.”He said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.
“It’s not fait,” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I complained. “I worked so hard for my bike, and it’s not eve new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didn’t have to do anything for it.” My dad smiled. “She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’s not really for her,” he said. What did he mean I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still I wasn’t sm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )art enough to understand what my father meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz—it was a gift for me. He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐渐疏远) in the face of my ability to travel. He gave me my best friend.
What do we know about the writer’s bike
A. He didn’t like it very much. B. Allen bought it for him.
C. It was very fashionable. D. It was worth $120.
Why did the writer think he was a real bike owner
A. He had paid off his debt. B. He had learned to ride a ten-speed bike.
C. He could also own Liz’s bike. D. He could sell his bike.
Why was the writer’s Christmas joy short-lived
A. His sister got a new record player. B. His sister got a better gift.
C. He got a second-hand record player. D. His father didn’t care about him.
Hearing his fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther say “it’s not really for her(Paragraph 4)”, the writer probably felt______
A. moved B. upset C. puzzled D. unbelievable
The writer finally realized that
the new bike actually belonged to him
the new bike wasn’t bought by his father
in fact his father loved his sister more
his father gave him a more valuable gift

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much．There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important t o me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
【小题1】________would scare the writer at night.
A．Streetlight and car lights
B．Wild animals and enemies
C．Moving curtains and wind
D．Strange sights and sounds
【小题2】When she went to some other places, she would________.
A．walk away without others
B．take a bus by herself
C．follow others closely
D．make sure not to take a wrong bus
【小题3】Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing statements would be possibly TRUE when she was a child
A．She thought being popular among people was important.

Waste can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

In 1926, a Frenchman ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype(银版照相). Soon other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the US worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的). Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed feelings, like other kinds of art.

A. his business B. his house C. his garden D. his window

A. watch lots of films
B. buy an expensive camera
C. stop in most cities
D. take many films and something else with him
54. Mathew Brady________.
A. was very lifelike B. was famous for his unusual pictures

Many people begin to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) use pencils from an early age. There are many kinds of pencils：some have erasers on top; some are colorful. You may have used many kinds of them for many years, but do you know the history of pencils
Many years ago, peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in Egypt used lead(铅)to write. Now, pencils are made from graphite(石墨)instead of lead. In 1564, people found that graphite could leave black marks. In the beginning, the people used it to make marks on their sheep. Later they used the graphite to write. They thought it was lead. Graphite left a blacker mark than lead, but it was not strong enough so it needed something to hold it.
In 1565，Conrad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Gesner first put graphite into something to hold it. Later, in the 1600s, German people mixed graphite with some other things and used them for writing. Later, France couldn't get pencils from both the English and the Germans, so Nicholas Jacques Conte began to make pencils. In France, there was little graphite, so he mixed graphite with clay(粘土).
In 1812，Willia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m Munroe made the fist American wood pencils. Later, a man put a small eraser on top of a pencil. A new kind of pencil was born.
56. People began to write with lead first in________ .
A. Egypt B. England C. Germany D. France
57. Graphite is _______ _than lead.
A. softer and harder B. blacker and harder
C. softer and lighter D. blacker and softer

阅读下列短文, 从每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Almost everyon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it．If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “ 5-second rule!” This so–called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less．But is that true
Professor Anthony Hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students．They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.
For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods——bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor．They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring—carpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile(瓷砖) — for three seconds to 30 seconds.
Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had．And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect．Bacteria are least likely to transfer(转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds．
The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria．Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk．“It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes．
【小题1】What is the “5-second rule’ mean
A．People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.
B．Food is safe when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you pick it up off the floor in less than five seconds.

C．bacteria was impos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.
D．the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.
【小题5】According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the article, the infection risk of the dropped does NOT depend on _____________.
A．how long the food sits on the floor
B．what the dropped food is
C．what the bacteria are

“Cool” is a word ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )us car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ws a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool” I can. And I think they are also very cool.
1. We know that the word “cool” has had ______.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings

A. see B. show
C. know D. feel
3. If you are ______ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”

4. The writer tak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es an example to show he is ______ the way the word is used.

But he just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.
