American teens are setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work,according to the Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan.29 and Feb.2 among 2,003 adults.The random national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Way based charity World Vision found that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause—56 percent—than have a part time job—39 percent.
Parents and guardians said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable causes,including volunteering,recruiting others to a cause,wearing a T shirt or donating money.Forty six percent of the adults surveyed said they volunteered their time and they also inspired their children to volunteer.
Sara Johnson,a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb,says she’s seen a rise of teen involvement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.
The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable causes or organizations as a result of the economic downturn,but the economy has also led to cuts in allowances,and has teens work more hours at a paying job.
Alynn Woodson,director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International,said she has noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.
Habitat for Humanity International celebrates the 20th anniversary of its alternative spring break program this year and is expecting more than 12,000 young people to help build homes for low income people around the nation.

A.the economic downturn led teens to work less hours at paying jobs

D.more teens are involved in charitable causes or organizations
2.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.parents and guardians encourage their children to do voluntary work
B.volunteers all wear T shirts while doing charity work
C.more teens are doing paying jobs as a result of the economic downturn
D.less teens were enthusiastic about voluntary work before Obama came into power

A.that homes for low income people will be built around the nation

Just as the stock (股票) market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind,we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefsabout what is possible.Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy.For example,imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed.As a member of that group,you would likely hold that same belief about yourself.As a result,even if you had a great desire to create music,you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself,fearing that your investment (投资) would not pay off.Even if you had the courage to follow your passion,your inner belief that you are not born talented would probably be a major obstacle to investing your energy in your dream.
On the other hand,if you found a way to release that negative belief,a great flood of energy would pour forth,greatly increasing the likelihood of your success.How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas,dreams,and visions we carry within is like the money people are,or are not,willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market.And in both cases,belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something.One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think.There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in,such as passion,feeling,and sense.Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain,trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.
In the same way,we can learn to trust our heart’s desires and our sense to guide us,questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves.As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible,we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.
5.We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that________.
A.our belief is not reliable
B.belief is not so important in our success
C.belief is an obstacle to our success
D.our belief determines our success in some way
6.According to the passage,if a family of origin has passion for literature,the members of the family will probably________.
A.write poems
B.hate literature
C.enter the field of literature
D.teach literature
7.We can put our faith in the following things of success except________.
A.passion B.feeling
C.sense D.stock market
8.The purpose of the author is________.
A.to teach us a lesson
B.to give us some useful suggestions
C.to encourage us to invest in the stock market
D.to tell us common people have negative beliefs
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.D escape后应跟动名词形式,这里考查的是动名词的被动结构。
2.A support支持;forbid禁止;abandon放弃;refuse拒绝。
3.D 第一个空为特指;第二个空under control为固定搭配,不用冠词。
4.D 本题考查由when引导的时间状语从句,如果主句用将来时态,从句用一般现在时态代替。
5.A victim受害者;companion伙伴,同伴;fellow家伙,哥们儿;colleague同事。句意为:社会各界纷纷对四川大地震的灾民进行爱心捐赠。
6.B be diagnosed as被诊断为……。
7.A bring in带来,引进;bring on导致,惹来;bring up养育,呕吐;bring out显示出。
8.A educated与句子的主语he为逻辑上的被动关系,故用动词的过去分词作状语。
9.D 由take up exercise与that’s me when I graduated from college的对比,可知这个人现在身材不好了。improve your figure保持你的身材;look外表;form形式;shadow影子。
10.A “in the 1840s”中的定冠词the不能省掉,“in his thirties”中的数词为复数形式。
11.B hope后接从句而不接复合宾语,故C、D两项不合适;而A项中的clean up是及物动词短语,应加宾语才对。
12.A 句意为“三分之二的地球表面覆盖着水”。本题考查分数的用法及主谓一致。分数表示法为分子用基数词,分母用序数词;当分子大于1时,分母加s,故2/3应为two thirds,又因为surface一词为单数形式,故只有A正确。
13.A 本题考查了部分否定用法。everything和not连用表示部分否定,符合题意;anything和not连用则表示全部否定意义;something不能和not连用;nothing与题意矛盾。句意为“我同意你所讲的大部分,但我并非全部同意”。
14.A 根据句意:请把书放回书架上。可以推断答案为 replace,因为 replace 不仅意为“代替”还可表示“放回”。instead of 与 in place of 为介词短语表“代替”;take the place of 为动词短语表“代替”。
15.A 句意为“起初他不同意我们,但我们很快使他向我们的思考方式转变”。convert 改变(观点、习惯、信仰等)。transfer (使)转移,改变(环境);modify调整,使更适合;exchange 交换。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
1.A 细节理解题。文章第四段说“the economy has also led to cuts in allowances,and has teens work more hours at a paying job”可知经济的衰退减少了福利,孩子们在有偿工作中工作的时间更长了。由此可知A项的表述与事实不符。
2.D 推理判断题。文章第三段说奥巴马当选为美国总统后,美国出现了青少年参与社会慈善活动的高潮。由此推知,之前并没有那么多青少年从事慈善活动。
3.C 推理判断题。文章在最后提及“Habitat for Humanity International”及参与其中的青少年的数量在增加,旨在说明越来越多的青少年参与社会公益活动和慈善活动。
4.A 主旨大意题。通览全文可知,“更多的青少年参加志愿活动”可以全面概括文章的意思。B、C、D三项均较片面。
【语篇解读】 你是一个敢想敢做的人吗?是否也会被他人观点所左右呢?本文把我们的拼搏比做股票,要想成功,有时我们要敢于冲破世俗观念,敢想敢做。
5.D 考查推理判断。根据第一段第二句可知我们的信念在一定程度上决定我们的成功。
6.C 考查推理判断。根据第一段举的例子:如果一个人的家族里的成员都不认为自己有音乐天赋,那么作为家族的一员,即使他想创作音乐,也很可能在世俗观念的影响下而放弃。相反,如果一个人的家族都爱好文学,那么很可能他以后也会涉足文学 (世俗观念对人的影响很大)。
7.D 考查具体细节。根据倒数第二段倒数第二句“There are...such as passion,feeling,and sense.”可知答案。
8.B 考查主旨大意。根据文章主题,作者先是举例说明世俗观念对人的影响,而后指出我们要想成功,就要冲破世俗观念的影响,敢想敢做。
