15.(BBC World Service) Two separate surveys suggest that Britain s teenagers are amongst the heaviest drug-users and drinkers in Europe.The British government has introduced a number of measures to deal with the use and supply of drugs,particularly among young people.
The European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs interviewed 15and 16-year olds in 35countries.26% of boys and 29% of girls in the UK had been addicted to uncontrolled drinking at least three times in the previous month.In the same survey,42% of boys and 35% of girls admitted they had tried illegal drugs at least once.
According to another survey,by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction,two in five 15-year-olds in the UK have tried cannabis(大麻).This number is higher than anywhere else in Europe.The UK has also the common highest number of young cocaine (可卡因) users,together with Spain.
The British government has recently made new plans to fight the problem of drug abuse in the United Kingdom,also among teenagers.According to the new proposals,young offenders will have to attend drug treatment as part of community service.British police will be able to give people blood tests for drugs when they arrest them,not just when they charge them with an offence.Drug sellers working near a school or using children to help sell drugs will face tougher penalties (處罰).
But schools also try to fight the problem of drug use themselves.At the beginning of 2005a British state school has introduced for the first time random drug testing.Students from a school in Kent will have mouth swabs (棉簽) taken to discover drug use.Each week 20names will be selected by computer and the swabs sent off to a drug testing laboratory.Results will be available three days later.The school's head teacher says that no child will be tested against his or her wishes.Children who test positive will not be forced to leave the school,but those who sell drugs will.

45.From the surveys,we learn that in Europe only the UK has the highest number of B.
A.the teenagers who have used cocaine
B.the 15-year-olds who have tried cannabis
C.the girls who have been addicted to drinking
D.the boys who have tried illegal drugs at least once
46.What can be inferred according to the passage?B
A.The UK has the highest number of drug users.
B.Drug sellers use students to sell drugs for them.
C.British police can't give people blood tests for drugs.
D.Any student will be given drug tests whether he likes it or not.
47.What does the underlined phrase"random drug testing"in the last paragraph mean?B
A.Testing alcoholic-drinking students on purpose.
B.Selecting students for drug testing irregularly.
C.Selecting young offenders for drug testing.
D.Testing particular students for pleasure.
48.What's the best title for this passage?C
A.Drugs in Europe                      B.Britain's Teenagers
C.Teenagers and Drugs                  D.Illegal Drugs in Britain.

分析 這是一篇新聞稿,主要報道了歐洲的青少年不少的學生比例接觸毒品或吸食毒品的現(xiàn)象.

解答 45.答案 B 細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第三段…two in five 15-year-olds in the UK have tried cannabis(大麻).This number is higher thananywhere else in Europe…在英國五分之二的十五歲的青少年已經(jīng)嘗試過大麻,這個比例比歐洲其他任何地方都高.故答案為B
46.答案 B 推理判斷題  根據(jù)Drug sellers working near a school or using children to help selldrugs will face tougher penalties (處罰).可知,在學校附近銷售或利用兒童來幫助銷售毒品的販毒者會面對更加嚴厲的處罰.可以推斷販毒者利用學生銷售毒品.故答案為B
47.答案 B   詞義猜測題  根據(jù)Each week 20names will be selected by computer and the swabs sentoff to a drug testing laboratory.可知,接受毒品檢測的學生名單是電腦隨機選擇,由此可知random drug testing的意思是Selecting students for drug testing irregularly.其中 random  任意的;irregularly 不規(guī)則的,故答案為B
48.答案C   主旨大意題  從全文來看,本文主要報道了歐洲的青少年不少的學生比例接觸毒品或吸食毒品的現(xiàn)象.所以標題可以概括為Teenagers and Drugs,故答案為C

5.Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy?
You think that you are making yourself happy.(36)A  I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy.I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us,so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations.(37)G  But if you are trying to realize other people's dreams without keeping yourself satisfied,you will never be happy.
So you have to be clear and honest with yourself about what you want in your life.If you are honest with yourself,you will be more optimistic.(38)C   You feel like you won't need to achieve something for someone else.
(39)F   They fear to be rejected(排斥) by others.They think and say"If I choose this job or career path,that person will think I am out of my mind",or"I really want to start this business but those people will think that I won't make any money".(40)B   Don't think this way.If you follow other people's wishes but cannot be true to yourself,you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself.
A.The truth is that you are really trying to make someone else happy.
B.So why don't I follow what they say?
C.And you will develop a drive from your heart.
D.So we should try our best to realize our dreams.
E.But we sometimes have to meet expectations from others.
F.Why do so many people want to live their dreams for someone else?
G.There is nothing wrong with that.

3.Perhaps you're someone who lined up all of your dolls,action figures,and stuffed animals in front of a mini-chalkboard when you were a kid.You read to them and taught them how to solve math problems.Maybe when older,you became an after-school tutor and thought,"Hey,I'd like to do that full-time."
The inspiration to become a teacher hits some people when they're young while others become teachers later in life.Whether you want to study to be a teacher right out of high school or you change from another career into teaching,the best teachers share a few things in common.Of course,teachers have to have at least an undergraduate degree,and many districts require teachers to earn a graduate teaching degree.Many school districts have begun requiring a master's degree.However,on top of education,good teachers also display some common characteristics that help to inspire and motivate their students.
Some teachers prefer to teach in a very structured style while others prefer assigning group work,encouraging class discussions,and letting students do independent projects.Both types of teachers can be very well-organized as long as they have a reason for what they do and they've carefully planned their lessons.If you're good at making material not only fun but memorable and if you can present it in a brief way,then you probably have the organizational skills to become a teacher.
Great teachers know the subjects that they teach inside and out.They can explain the history,current developments,and future trends of the subjects.Also,they understand the basic theories of their fields.Elementary school teachers need to have command of various subjects,while middle school and high school teachers usually focus on a single subject area and they develop in-depth knowledge of that subject.
If you decide to become a teacher,you should commit to learning everything that you can while in high school and college.You also should develop good study habits that allow you to remember information about your field.
31.The underlined part"do that"in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by"A":
A.work as a teacher    
B.solve math problems  
C.work as a tutor 
D.take care of kids
32.The passage tells us that the basic requirement of being a teacher isB
A.a(chǎn)n inspiration in an early age     
B.a(chǎn)n undergraduate degree
C.a(chǎn) graduate teaching degree             
D.a(chǎn)n experience of top education
33.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?D
A.Different teachers'hobbies
B.Different types of teachers.
C.Teachers'well-planned lessons
D.Teachers'organizational skills.
34.According to the passage,a person who wants to become a teacher shouldC.
A.be able to explain the history of different subjects
B.be clear about the future trend of teachers
C.make good preparations in schools and colleges
D.have a command of many kinds of subjects
35.Which is the best title for the passage?B
A.The Inspiration To Become A Teacher

64.Union gives strength.F
65.Precious things are for those that can prize them.D
  
A
A wolf was almost dead with hunger.A housedog saw him,and asked,"Friend,your irregular life will soon ruin you".Why don't you work steadily as I do,and get your food regularly?""I would have no objection,"said the wolf,"if I could only get a place.""I will help you,"said the dog."Come with me to my master,and you shall share my work."So the wolf and the dog went to the town together.On the way the wolf saw that there was no hair around the dog's neck.He felt quite surprised,and asked him why it was like that?"Oh,it is nothing,"said the dog."Every night my master puts a collar around my neck and chains me up.You will soon get used to it.""Is that the only reason?"said the wolf."Then good-bye to you,my friend.I would rather be free."
B
Two men were traveling together,when a bear suddenly met them on their path.One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches.The other,seeing that he must be attacked,fell flat on the ground,and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout,and smelt him all over,he held his breath,and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could.The Bear soon left him,for it is said he will not touch a dead body.When he was quite gone,the other Traveler descended from the tree,and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear."He gave me this advice,"his companion replied."Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger."
C
A prince had some monkeys trained to dance.Being naturally good at learning,they showed themselves excellent pupils,and in their rich clothes and masks,they danced as well as any of the courtiers.Their performance was often repeated with great applause,till on one occasion a courtier,bent on mischief,took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage.The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors.Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes,they fought with one another for the nuts.The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.
D
A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw."Ho!ho!"said he,"that's for me,"and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw.It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard."You may be a treasure,"signed the cock,"to man,but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn."
E
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face.Rising up in anger,he caught him and was about to kill him,when the Mouse piteously entreated,saying:"If you would only spare my life,I would be sure to repay your kindness."The Lion laughed and let him go.It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters,who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.The Mouse,recognizing his roar,came up,and gnawed the rope with his teeth,and setting him free,exclaimed:"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you,not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."
F
An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice.He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks,and said to his eldest son:"Break it."The son tried hard,but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle.The other sons also tried,but none of them was successful."Untie it,"said the father,"and each of you take a stick."When they had done so,he called out to them:"Now,break,"and each stick was easily broken.
