13.A night out in Tokyo is much the same as a night out in Milan these days,according to a survey about socialising,conducted amongst 16 to 34-year-olds around the world.Wherever you live,a typical night out is spent eating burgers,seeing American films or listening to English-language music in clubs and bars.Individual differences do survive but American culture is everywhere.
Differences in the social behavior of the two sexes are also disappearing.Most people surveyed felt that it was‘perfectly normal'for groups of young women to go out alone,that it was‘equally acceptable'for young women to smoke and drink,and that a couple should split the bill when they go out together.For most young people these were the biggest differences between their own generation and their parents'.
Interestingly,however,most young people interviewed said that parents are still stricter with daughters than sons about where they go and who they go with.Overall,only 10 per cent thought that parents treat their sons and daughters equally,and almost no one thought parents were stricter with their sons!
Important national differences appear,however,when it comes to time-keeping.In the Far East and Eastern Europe a night out starts---and finishes---much earlier:there seven o'clock was the average time for meeting up with friends.For many Southern European and South Americans,on the other hand,an evening out doesn't even start until ten or eleven o'clock,by which time many of their South Korean or Japanese counterparts are safely home in bed!
Parents'rules reflect this.Most Japanese parents expect their teenagers home by ten o'clock or even earlier,whereas in Europe it is more likely to be eleven or twelve o'clock.The most surprising findings came from Argentina,however,where it is apparently quite normal for 15 and 16-year-olds to stay out all night.But then perhaps this is because their parents have less to worry about---80 percent of Argentine youngsters claimed that they rarely or never drink alcohol!

66.Night out in Tokyo is similar to it in Milan becauseC.
A.English-language activities are highly welcomed
B.they are experiencing the different globalized-culture
C.American culture is very popular all around the world
D.a(chǎn)ll the young people have the same habits and hobbies
67.One of the biggest differences between young people and their parents lies inB
A.the music style and stars they loved
B.their attitude towards paying money for dinner
C.the decreasing number of young women smoking
D.the time they meet up with people and have evening out
68.In the last paragraph,"this"refers toC.
A.evening out      B.drinking alcohol     C.time-keeping D.staying up late
69.What is the passage mainly talking about?B
A.The same night-out life in all the modern cities.
B.The similarities and differences in social behaviors.
C.Comparing night life between the east and the west.
D.Parents'different rules between their sons and daughters.

1.The data shows that thru is a gender imbalance of twenty ion more men than women under thirty in China.You would think that so many suitably bachelors out there that any  young Chinese woman could have her pick. But the fact is that there arc many"Shinny"in China. Media reports say thru may be as many as 500,000"Shinny"in the capital.
The term Shinny",directly translated as‘‘1eftover women",refers to peculated women in their late twenties who are still single. Quite simply,"no"means women and"sheen"means left over but,depending on how you look at it,sheen"can also man successful.Some believe that the phrase was invented as a play on words to mean that"shinny"is actually a positive way to portray being a single,successful woman.
"Shinny"are pioneers in modern day China. They are able to enjoy their success in big cities with very little restriction. They are aware of the pressure society puts on them to get married but they are all highly educated and financially independent therefore there is not an immediate need to find a husband to support them.
Chinese people often think males should be higher in a relationship in every sense,including height,age,education and salary. This leads to a phenomenon in which A-grade men marry B-grade women,B-grade mice marry Grade women ankle C-grade man marry D-grade women.Only A-grade women and D-grade men can't find partners.Apparently,if you are an"A-grade"woman,finding a husbandly better than you (a must in Chinese culture apparently) is hard to do.
These women are leftover"because they are"too successful"and therefore have high standards when it comes to picking their lifelong partners. They arc free and able to live independently,which was not so possible for previous generations.Right now it seems family guilt is the only real factor contributing to decreasing China's"Shinny"population,as daughters give in t.o the demands of their families. As China rapidly modernizes,the term"Shinny"may even develop into a wholly positive label.

26.The umlerlinccl part in Paragraph I implies that Chinese young womenC
A. will be picked up by single young men
B. will become"Shinny"in large numbers
C. have a wide range of'choices For husbands
D. prefer to stay in the capital of the country
27. Which of the following about 1ettover women"is TRUE?B
A. They are educated in the capital.
B. They are almost thirty years old.
C. They prefer to be single women.
D. They are successful in business.
28.One reason for"Shinny"not being in a hurry to have a husband is that theyD
A. are pincers in modern society
B. have no restriction in life
C. bear no pressure from society
D. don't need to depend on others
29.Why should Chinese husbands be higher in different senses than their wives'C
A. Because they can't fad wives of higher grades.
B. Because they have different education backgrounds.
C. Because Chinese culture requires them to do so.
D. Because men won't mar}'successful women.

A. They may become positive images.

8.Common phrases like"no pains,no gains"give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study.It's almost as though the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear.
When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea,all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book.It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult.Just as children learn from playing,we can learn from doing,or at least from study techniques that interest us,rather than make us switch off.
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying.This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work,you are troubled by how unfair it is that you must study.
When you hate your work it's very difficult to make yourself star,or approach it with any kind of structure or enthusiasm.This can be part of a vicious cycle(惡性循環(huán)) that traps you into ineffective revision,your poor progress fuelling further annoyance.
Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and,thankfully,it's perfectly possible to work in the company of other people.We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(使人分心的事物).
It's not necessary to avoid all company,just idle(懶散的) company.Studying in the same room as someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible.People who are bored and looking to be distracted,however,are terrible to work around.They constantly try to keep others in conversation.
It's also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities that you would rather be doing than studying.Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment,a pair of headphones and some background music can block out even noisy children.They also act as a psychological barrier,so that people think twice before interrupting you.
When you're studying for a big exam,it seems like your whole life is taken up with study.Friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation(孤立).And connecting with other people makes us happy,so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
51.The author might believe that the phrase"no pains,no gains"D.
A.best describes how to study well        
B.makes people treat study as a habit
C.encourages people to learn step by step     
D.is not a good inspirational phrase for study
52.Which saying about study might the author prefer?C
A.There is no royal road to learning.
B.It's better to work behind closed door.
C.A positive motivation leads to good study results.
D.He who is ashamed of asking is ashamed of learning.
53.Which might lead to an effective study based on this text?C
A.A correct goal.B.A good teacher.
C.A favorable interest.D.A hard task.
54.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 implies thatB.
A.playing video games is helpful for an effective study
B.one shouldn't let a video player to be his/her company
C.one should study from certain activities that he/she is interested in
D.the more time one spends in playing games,the higher marks he/she will get
55.If you are studying in a noisy environment,you'd betterA.
A.give indication of not wanting to be interrupted
B.give up others'company at one
C.think twice before taking any action
D.force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
