A

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my years of being a kid, it’s that you have ZERO control over your own life.

Ever since school ended, I haven’t had anything I’ve needed to do or anywhere I’ve needed to be. As long as the air-conditioning (空调) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.

But then, all of a sudden, this happened—“Pack your bags. We’re going on a road trip!” Mom said excitedly.

This isn’t the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warning. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.

It wasn’t exactly my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta her roommate grasped me and wouldn’t let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie!

Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going—Disney World.

I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad.

But when my little brother, Danny, heard about the change he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.

We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.

I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn’t want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a “bonding” experience for the whole family.

21. What did the writer prefer to do during his summer holidays?

A. Watch TV comfortably at home. B. Travel with his family.

C. Visit Aunt Loretta. D. Look after his little brother.

22. From the passage, we can learn that the writer ________.

A. loved his aunt very much B. got pretty excited about the road trip

C. felt helpless with his mother’s surprise trips D. blamed Danny for not going to Disney World

23. Who makes the final decision in the family?

A. The writer. B. Mom. C. Dad. D. Aunt Loretta.

B

Teens may become more private during adolescence because they are learning how to be more independent, says Carl Pickhardt, a Texas­based scientist who studies parenting adolescents. “As they enter adolescence, parents have less control,” he says. “You’re going to have less communication with the kid who is now entering a larger and more risky world.”

However, Pickhardt says, this does not mean that parents should just sit back and do without any information. He says that parents should tell their kids that there are still things they need to know about, such as why their teen was late getting home from school one day.

Iowa’s mom Patty Link knows this fight well. The mom of three is raising two teenage boys: Graham, a 14-year-old eighth grader, and Carter, a 16-year-old high school student. She says that becoming friends with the parents of her children’s friends has helped.

“A lot of times if I want to get any information out of them, I’ll say, ‘Oh, I can talk to Adam’s mom and she will tell me what was going on on Friday night’, and it will lead to some other discussion,” she says.

Parents should watch their use of questions, Pickhardt says, because the questions can stand for authority, and teens won’t like them. “They want their independence to be respected,” he says. Pickhardt suggests using requests such as, “It could really help me if you could tell me”, or “Could you help me better understand”. But sometimes teens make mistakes and parents have to correct them. Parents should plainly point out the problem, Pickhardt says, and avoid judgments of character.

Parents can also use technology to feel connected. One recent study showed that many teens are friends with their parents on Facebook—and only 5 percent limit what their parents can see.

24. Who is Adam?

A. A relative of Link’s. B. A neighbor of Link’s.

C. A friend of Link’s kids. D. A parent of teenage boys.

25. What is Pickhardt’s opinion on parents’ use of questions?

A. Show respect for kids when questioning them. B. First let kids understand parental authority.

C. Avoid asking too private questions. D. Try to make requests plainly.

26. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. Why are teenagers getting more private? B. How to stay connected with your teen?

C. Why do parents have less control? D. How to correct teens’ mistakes?

C

The world has about 7,000 languages. Experts predict that as many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century. That would mean a language dies out every two weeks.

Members of the Siletz Indian tribe (部落) in the northwestern state of Oregon take pride in their language. Their language, they say, “is as old as time itself”. But today very few people can speak it fluently. In fact, you can count the number of fluent speakers on one hand.

More than 10,000 words can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary. Professor Harrison has also posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered (濒危的) languages from around the world. He says technology can not only spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones. Smartphone applications, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital tools for language experts.

Mr Harrison and a researcher in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin Siberia and northern Australia.

In Canada’s far north, the Inuit people are struggling to protect their native language, Inuktitut. Part of the effort involves (涉及) Microsoft. The company is translating terms in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut.

Nowadays so many people will spend their whole day sitting in front of a computer. If you’re sitting in front of your computer in English all day, that just reinforces（强化）English. If you’re now using Inuktitut, it is reinforcing that this is your language. Microsoft has also worked with language experts in New Zealand, Spain and Wales to translate its software into Maori, Basque, Catalan and Welsh.

27. Why are the people of the Siletz Indian tribe proud of their language?

A. It’s easily mastered. B. It’s widely spoken nowadays.

C. It has a long history. D. It has scientific value.

28. What does Harrison think of technology according to Paragraph 3?

A. It changes the way young people learn a language.

B. It makes learning a language a fashionable thing.

C. It makes it possible to master a language quickly.

D. It helps protect the endangered languages.

29. Why does Microsoft translate its software into Inuktitut?

A. To make Inuktitut spoken worldwide. B. To learn other languages conveniently.

C. To help spread the use of Microsoft software. D. To strengthen the use of Inuktitut.

30. What is the text mainly about?

A. The effects of modern technology on languages.

B. Efforts made to save languages in danger of dying out.

C. Some languages with the most speakers worldwide.

D. The difference Harrison made to the Siletz Indian tribe.

第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。

You’re standing at a city bus stop, waiting for a bus to arrive. You wait and wait. ____31____ But you haven’t seen one for at least 20 minutes. Finally, a bus full of people arrives. Just as you try to squeeze yourself in, you see another bus coming down the street, and another one behind it!

What’s going on? Why do buses always seem to come in bunches (成群) instead of at regular intervals (间隔) ?

____32____ They say that passengers tend to remember the few times when more than one bus arrives at a stop and to forget the many more times when a bus arrives alone.

However, experts who study traffic say that bunching really can happen quite easily. ____33____ If each stop had the same number of passengers waiting, the buses would keep to their schedule. But usually there are many people at a few stops and no one at others.

Suppose many people happen to gather at a particular stop. ____34____ So it gets delayed and the bus behind it catches up a bit. When the second bus arrives at the same stop, there has been less time for passengers to assemble (聚集), so the bus goes on its way quickly. Meanwhile, the first bus arrives at its next stop a little later than usual, so there’s been more time for passengers to join the crowd. ____35____ Once one bus catches up with the other bus, the two buses end up travelling together. If the route is a long one, a third bus could eventually catch up with the first two.

Check it out the next time you hop (跳上) a bus!

A. There’s supposed to be a bus every 10 minutes.

B. But you don’t know the exact time the bus will arrive.

CThe problem is the different numbers of people at the stops.

D. Some people claim that bus bunching doesn’t happen very often.

E. And soon after several more stops, the second bus catches up with the first.

F. Find the probability that the waiting time is longer than you expected.

G. It takes longer than usual for the passengers to board the first bus that arrives.

Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, ______53______ I was walking, and I had my foot! When I went back to the hospital, I often saw my friend.
