16.To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age.To do so at 22,as Jennifer Lawrence has,is just amazing.Recently,the American star won Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook.According to Time magazine's Richard Corliss,Lawrence is that rare young actress who"lends a mature intelligence to any ro1e".
Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work,Lawrence wasn't sure what she really liked doing before the age of l4.She thought she'd go to college and may be find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.
Lawrence's two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student.Unlike them,she suffered through school,never quite finding where she belonged.However,during a trip to New York,Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress.When she was enjoying the beautiful city,a model seeker asked if he could take her picture,and the next day he called her in for an audition(試鏡).
"I read the script(劇本)and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this,"Lawrence said."Within 20minutes,in the cab ride from the hotel room,I decided I didn't want to be a model.In fact,I wanted to be an actress."Having appreciated this young lady's performance,the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot.But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.
Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games,which established her as the highest-grossing(票房最高的)female action hero of all time.Rolling Stone called her"the most talented young actress in America".

11.Students who date (約會(huì)) in middle school have significantly worse study skills,are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates,according to new research from the University of Georgia.
"Romantic relationships are a symbol of adolescence(青春期),but very few studies have examined how adolescents are different in the development of these relationships."said Pamela Orpinas,study author and professor in the College of Public Health.
Orpinas followed a group of 624students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.Each year,the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors,including the use of drugs and alcohol.Their teachers completed questionnaires (調(diào)查表) about the students'academic efforts.He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school,and these students had the best study skills according to their teachers.Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
"At all points in time,teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,"according to the journal article.Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit,being well organized,finishing homework,working hard and reading assigned chapters.
"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker,"Orpinas said,"When the couple break up,they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else.It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (轉(zhuǎn)移) attention from studying."
"Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school."Orpinas concluded.
67.According to the passage,students who date in middle school mayA.
A.have poorer academic performances
B.be more likely to hurt others
C.enjoy better school lives
D.a(chǎn)re less likely to use alcohol and tobacco
68.When doing his study,OrpinasB.
A.followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade
B.found that the students'study skills have connection with their frequency of dating
C.completed questionnaires about the students'academic efforts
D.completed a survey and a report each year
69.What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?C
A.They will miss their ex-partners sometimes.
B.They don't want to see each other any longer.
C.Their attention to studying will be affected.
D.They will think it's reasonable to get depressed.

1.There are some very good things about open education.This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people,and to develop their own interests in many subjects.Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education,as they are responsible for what they do in life.Some students do badly in a traditional classroom.The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning.Some students will be happier in an open education school.They will not have to worry about grades or rules.For students who worry about these things a lot,it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.

8.Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness,anger,hurt and sadness.We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond.Being afraid of fast cars,for example,is something that might protect us from harm.Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.
Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs.Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others,and at times,the media.Many normal fears during the early years,like men with beards,or large dogs,disappear with age.Those relating to personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.
Children's fears are oftentrivial,but that doesn't mean they should be ignored.They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child.Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them.
Research shows that as a child grows up,the center of his fears changes a lot.Things like divorce,a teacher who"shouted at me",people with guns,bullies,big boys,or"making fun of me"top the list of childhood fears.
We can not always prevent these experiences from happening,but it's essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment.Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease the pain of these fears.Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears.This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope.With all emotions,fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.
68.The underlined word"trivial"in the third paragraph probably means"A".
A.smallB.seriousC.harmfulD.common
69.From the passage we can learn thatA.
A.some childhood fears may have a lasting influence
B.children should avoid the media to reduce their fear
C.fears can be judged according to the environment
D.children with similar fears can communicate easily
70.What's the best title for this passage?B
A.How to Overcome Children's Fears
B.Children's Fears
C.The kind of Children's Fears    
D.The Bad Effects of Fears.

6.I clearly remembered it was just on that spring night that I began to grow up.Coming from my aunt's house,my mother said we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
    I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact,I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism,but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried,and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad,and saw no end to"the hard times."
    My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters,filled out forms,translated at interviews with immigration (移民)officers,took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there,and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule:Almost all common troubles finally go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right,even though it will not be that easy.

A.often lost her way           
B.did not think about her future
C.studied in three different schools
D.got on well with her stepfather
54.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?D

B.She attended a lot of job interviews.
