三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

    Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true.

    Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟). Don't argue(争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

    Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

    Of course, your parents might refuse(拒绝) to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

    Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

    A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

Do you always focus on studying and getting "A" grades in school? Most Chinese students work really hard. But in the United States, you might be considered a bookworm(书呆子)if you cannot socialize(社交). Socializing is as important as your grades. If you just study all the time and don't socialize, your life won't be complete. So, how does one socialize with students in the US?

Lots of high schools often have soccer games during the autumn term. I didn't know anything about soccer, but I joined some of the soccer games in order to have fun with my friends. I thought I could learn the rules from others. However, to my surprise, some American students don't even know the rules but still go to the games in order to socialize. They cheer for the soccer players and have fun together.

The other common way to socialize is to join after-school clubs. You can choose clubs that you are interested in and make a lot of new friends. For example, one of my friends started a sketch(素描) club. I was interested in sketching, so I joined the club. There I met lots of students who were also interested in sketching. We soon became friends with each other.

Socializing is an important thing in the US. But grades are still important, too. An all-around student should have the ability to balance(平衡) his or her studying and socializing.

1. You might be considered _____ if you cannot socialize in the United States.
A. a good student
B. a bookworm
C. a lazy student
D. a hard-working student
2. When do lots of high schools have soccer games in the US?
A. During the autumn term.
B. During the summer term.
C. During the spring term.
D. During the winter term.
3. How many ways to socialize are mentioned in the passage?
A. Five.
B. Four.
C. Three.
D. Two.
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Most Chinese students work really hard.
B. Not all American students who go to the soccer games know the rules.
C. The writer joined some of the soccer games in order to play soccer.
D. If you want to make lots of new friends, you can join clubs that you are interested in.

5. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to make new friends
B. Balance studying and socializing
C. Socializing is not as important as your grades
D. Socializing is the most important thing in the US

四、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two parents and one or two children.

Children in the USA will leave their parents' home when they grow up. They usually live far from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on holiday.

Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think it important for young people to decide on their lives by themselves.

Children are asked to do some work around their houses. And in many families, children are paid for doing some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own use.

答案以及解析

一、单选题

1.答案：B

解析：这里的it为形式宾语.当动词不定式作宾语时，可以用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式短语.句意："他发现学好英语很难. "

2.答案：D

解析：考查冠词及名词修饰词。句意：我需要一些钱买一件原创的t恤，你有什么建议吗？“一件原创的T恤”为泛指，用不定冠词，original以元音音素开头，应用an；advice为不可数名词，不能a连用；some一般用于肯定句，any用语否定句、疑问句。故答案为D。

3.答案：D

解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：一学习手语对于聋哑人很有用。一是的，手语是他们交流的途径。A. meaning意义；B. vacation假期；C. instruction指令；D. communication 交流。结合句意可知手语是聋哑人交流的途径，故选D。

4.答案：B

解析：句意：明天的足球比赛中，来自北京的孩子将与来自上海的孩子比赛。考查动词辨析。disagree不同意；compete比赛；discuss讨论；complain抱怨。根据“in tomorrow's soccer match”可知，应是双方进行比赛。故选B。

5.答案：A

解析：A much too后跟形容词或副词；too much后跟不可数名词；too many后跟可数名词复数。hard是形容词，故选A。句意：“这项工作太难，孩子们不能自己完成。”

6.答案：A

7.答案：C

解析：句意：如果你的兄弟比你大，他就是你的哥哥。考查形容词辨析。little少的；younger年纪更小的；elder年龄较大的。根据“If your brother is older than you”可知，比你大应该是哥哥，elder brother表示“哥哥”。故选C。

8.答案：A

解析：由句中的than 可知此处用比较级，difficult的比较级形式是more difficult；修饰比较级可以用much, a little, even等,very修饰形容词或副词的原级。故选A。

解析：本题主要考查形容词。A项，tired“累的，疲劳的”。B项，sad“悲伤的”。C项，nervous“紧张的”。D项，pleased“高兴的”。根据题意可知，“我”要在英语晚会上在全校面前唱一首英文歌。故此处应表示“我”有一点紧张，nervous 符合题意。故正确答案为C。

10.答案：B

解析：考查情景交际用语。句意：一我的表哥总是不征求我的同意就拿走我的东西。一我觉得这不是什么大事。It's right.它是对的，表示赞同；It's not a big deal.这不是什么大事，表示对别人的安慰；It's not a good idea.这不是个好主意，对别人的行为或者话语表示不赞同甚至反对。根据句意可知，上句是对某事的抱怨，所以下句回答内容应该是对别人的安慰，那么本空应填It's not a big deal.故选：B。

11.答案：C

解析：这是一个肯定句，肯定句用something而不用anything,排除B和D; something被else修饰时,else要放在something的后面。句意：“蒂娜将给我一些别的东西吃。”

12.答案：B

解析：8.答案：B解析：由句意可知，这里用表示“不应当”的shouldn't。句意：“你不应当在夜里这么大声地播放音乐。”

14.答案：C

解析：考查动词短语辨析。cut into打断；work out算出；cut out裁剪；hand out分发。根据“The girl ...a beautiful picture of a flower from a newspaper”可知，这里表示“从报纸上剪下花的图片”，C项符合语境。故选C。

15.答案：A
解析：句意:我的那只小猫昨晚没有回家。考查助动词后加动词原形。return"返回"相当于go back, return不能和back连用, 排除B和D, 由"didn't"可知, 空缺处应该用动词原形, 排除C, 故选A。

答案：One possible version:

How to get on with parents?

As teenagers, it's important to get on with parents. What should we do?

Firstly, we should spend some time communicating with our parents. For example, we may talk about our teachers, classmates or the things that happen in school. Secondly, we should do something with our parents each week, such as making dinner or going shopping. We'll improve our relationship with them in this way. Thirdly, we'd better discuss our problems with them. They will help us find better ways to solve them.

It's not easy to get on with parents. So we should learn to be understanding first.
