I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）．I wish it were so．At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents．You should be learning to stand on your own feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents．Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(緊握）at one another's hands for reassurance．
They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it．They have come out of their cocoon（繭） into a larger cocoon．
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way．Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market．These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be． 
And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障礙） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．
But the barrier is worth climbing over．The path is worth following, You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party．You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records．You may have some thoughts 'that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．
【小題1】In this passage, the author wants to tell         .

A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
B．readers how to be popular with people around
C．parents how to control and guide their children
D．people how to understand and respect each other
【小題2】According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them            ．
A．have much difficulty understanding each other
B．lack confidence
C．dare not cope with （處理） problems single-handed
D．a(chǎn)re much afraid of getting lost
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

B．What many parents are doing is helping their children find their own paths．
C．It is bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates．
D．Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same．

解析試題分析：文章講了青少年一方面叛逆，另一方面又跟隨潮流，沒(méi)有個(gè)性。作者認(rèn)為青少年要發(fā)現(xiàn)自我，學(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)立，這樣才真正受人歡迎與尊重。
【小題1】A主旨題。通讀全文發(fā)現(xiàn)teenager一詞頻繁出現(xiàn)，可見(jiàn)本文作者想告訴我們的與“青少年”有關(guān)，進(jìn)一步分析首段，其中句子“You should be learning to stand on your own feet”給出了作者的觀點(diǎn)“青少年應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)立”，A項(xiàng)說(shuō)法正符合此意，故為答案。
【小題2】C細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干中的“brave”可定位答案于第一段的句子“Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(緊握）at one another's hands for reassurance”，C項(xiàng)“不敢獨(dú)自處理問(wèn)題”是此句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為正確答案。
【小題3】D細(xì)節(jié)題。把選項(xiàng)與原文一一對(duì)照，A項(xiàng)與最后一段最后的句子“That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．”相矛盾，故不正確；B項(xiàng)與第四段“And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障礙） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．”不符合，故不正確；C項(xiàng)與文章最后一段句子“You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself”不符合，故不正確；D項(xiàng)與第二段句子“They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．”描述相符，故為正確答案。
【小題4】B推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段句子“These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be．”可推斷出作者認(rèn)為青少年受廣告的影響很大，故B項(xiàng)正確。
【小題5】C細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章最后一段句子“Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．”，C項(xiàng)“找到一個(gè)真正的自我”是此句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故為正確答案。

It had been a difficult move. I’d left my family and friends in Indiana, the beloved state where I’d lived most of my life. My new home in Florida was thousands of miles away from anything I knew. It was hot—all the time. Jobs were hard to come by, but I was up for almost any challenge.
At last, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.
Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children appropriate behavior for public outings. Unexpectedly, only a few students, including Kyle, had not earned the privilege of going. He was determined to make his disappointment known.
In the corridor(走廊) between classrooms, he began screaming, cursing, spitting, and swinging at anything within striking distance. Once his outburst died down, he did what he’d done when he was angry at all his other schools, at home, even once at a juvenile detention(拘留)center. He ran.
People watched in disbelief as Kyle dashed straight into the heavy morning traffic in front of the school.
I heard someone shout, “Call the police!”
But I ran after him.
Kyle was at least a foot taller than me. And he was fast. His older brothers were track stars at the nearby high school. But I could run long distances without tiring. I would at least be able to keep him in my sight and know he was alive.
After several blocks of running directly into oncoming traffic, Kyle slowed his pace.
He took a sharp left. Standing next to a trash bin, Kyle bent over with his hands on his knees. I must have looked ridiculous. But his was not a look of fear. I saw his body relax. He did not attempt to run again. Kyle stood still and watched me approach. I had no idea what I was going to say or do, but I kept walking closer.
He opened his mouth to speak when a police car pulled up, abruptly filling the space between Kyle and me. The school principal and an officer got out. They spoke calmly to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I couldn’t hear what was said, but I didn’t take my eyes off Kyle’s face, even as they drove away.
I couldn’t help but feel that I had failed him, that I should have done or said more, that I should have fixed the situation.
I shared my feelings with a speech therapist who was familiar with Kyle’s history. “No one ever ran after him before, Rachel,” she said. “No one. They just let him go.”
Things changed the day he ran and I ran after him, even though I didn’t have the right words, even though I wasn’t able to save him from the mess he was in. It was the day I didn’t throw my hands in the air and decide he was too fast, a waste of time and effort , a lost cause. It was the day my mere presence was enough to make a profound difference.
【小題1】From the passage we know that _____.

A．the author left her family to Florida because jobs were hard to come by in Indiana.

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed ---- no examination is perfect ---- but to have no external(外部的)tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in external examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the ideal and the purpose of each teacher.
Without external examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them ---- a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates（證書）to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate shows the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well - respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if external examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school's fame, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.
The opponents（對(duì)手）of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
These people are not just against school organization, but are at war with the whole idea of modem competitive society and they are using children in schools for their destructive purposes. There is no reason why we should allow such people to determine the way our schools are organized when it is to the obvious disadvantage of the pupils, of the schools and of our society as a whole.
【小題1】According to the passage, the writer thinks that ________.

A．changing the standards could mean the end of equality
B．standards must keep changing in order to achieve equality
C．there would be no standards without external examinations
D．we cannot have standards because examinations are not perfect
【小題2】In the writer's opinion, what would happen if external examinations were taken away?
A．There would be no more opportunities and no more excellence.
B．Children from poor families would not be able to change schools.
C．Going to a favored school should be the only way to get a good job.
D．Schools for bright children would lose their fame.
【小題3】The situation at the moment is that ________.
A．many children who are suitable for a job have no proof of their suitability
B．a(chǎn) school's fame is not important, as long as a child has a certificate.
C．children attending well - respected schools need not get certificates.
D．a(chǎn) bright child doesn't need a certificate a t all to get a good job.
【小題4】Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A．Most students from poor families can't get a good job.
B．Some people are using students to destroy our society.
C．The writer thinks it a good way to choose a job by computer.
D．The opponents of the examination want to reorganize schools.
【小題5】The opponents would agree that _________.
A．computers should be selected to take over many jobs
B．particular people should not be chosen for particular jobs
C．well-respected schools should be got rid of as soon as possible
D．the students are not equally treated if they take external examinations

From the outer of New York to the heart of Singapore, nature is everywhere you’re not looking in some of Earth’s most crowded big cities. Outdoor adventure is often just a few stops on the train—or a short drive- away from the annoying crowds.  Here are a few favorites to get you going:
Mount Hollywood Trail（林間小道，鄉(xiāng)間小路） Los Angeles
It’s not a skyscraper or a Ferris wheel, and there’s no expensive restaurant up top. But if you want an absolutely unforgettable, no-admission-charged, 360-degree view of the entire Los Angeles region, it’s yours. All you have to do is walk a little. One of the preferred exercise routes, the Mount Hollywood Trail, is easily accessed from the parking lot of the famous Griffith Observatory; you see what you get at the end of this steep 1.5-mile trail, which winds its way through the Griffith Park wilds up to the mountain’s 1,640-foot peak.
Bronx River, New York
It may not be on your Top 10 list of things to do when you finally get to the Big Apple, but exploring the almost-secret river that flows through one of New York’s most mysterious boroughs (自治市) is an unforgettable experience. The Bronx River Alliance, a non-profit group that has worked tirelessly to bring the much-abused river back to life , operates cycling and canoeing trips along the river, from the rugged Hunts Point section down near the harbor on up through the borough.
Southern Islands, Singapore
Believe it or not, tightly packed Singapore does have plenty of open space left. There are actual trails right in the middle of everything, if you know where to look. But to really get away from it all, the Southern Islands, a small group of little green dots just off the city state’s southern shoreline, are just the thing.
Lee Valley, London
This East London river valley changed last summer, when anyone near a television got an eyeful of Olympic Park, built directly in the middle of the valley. Inside the park, beautifully landscaped sections quickly became a favorite relaxation spot for games goers. At present, you’ll find miles of walking paths worth exploring. Start at the Waltham Cross train and follow the signposted walking route southbound, guiding you past important historic industrial areas, through interesting city neighborhoods, past the western side of Olympic Park and on to the Thames.
【小題1】If someone wants to enjoy an unforgettable experience for free , he can go to ______.

A．Mount Hollywood Trail and Bronx River
B．Mount Hollywood Trail and Southern Islands
C．Lee Valley and Southern Islands
D．Bronx River and Lee Valley
【小題2】The writer of the passage wants to ________.
A．inform the readers that nature exists in crowded big cities
B．a(chǎn)ppeal to more people to outdoor adventure
C．recommend several historical spots to readers
D．present various approach to outdoor adventure
【小題3】We know from the passage ________.
A．it’s difficult to find a proper trail in packed Singapore
B．the Thames is not far away from the East London river valley
C．The Bronx River Alliance has succeeded in running the river
D．you may have trouble reaching the Mount Hollywood Trail
