The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. No one would have known, said Wobums instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasnt a difficult decision: The prize wasnt ours to take. Coin StarsCollege students are lazy, but they also want to help, says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her Change for Change effort has collected $40,000 for charities, which were decided upon by students.Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $ 9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth. But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school. Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s. When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board. LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.21.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end? A. Took photos of Doran B. Returned the prize to the organizerC. Had a meeting with Doran. D. Apologized to Wobum High School22.The underlined word Change in the second paragraph means _.A. Idea B. Decision C. Coins D. Cups23.What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr. LeBermuth? A. They decided to offer their students free room and boardB. They went to Belgium to pay their respects to himC. They dug out the records that were buried undergroundD. They tried to find out why he gave them the moneyBFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war ,but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents plete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trappedIn this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter what the topic is - politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg - the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority - someone who actually knows something - and therefore to mand respect. Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.24.Why does the author pare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. both can continue for generations B. Neither can be put to an endC. Neither has any clear winner D. Both are about where to draw the line25.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading themB. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents26.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _.A. gain respect from the other B. give orders to the other C. know more than the other D. get the other to behave properly27.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parentteen conflicts B. Solutions for the parentteen problemsC. Examples of the parentteen war D. Future of the parent-teen relationshipCDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream e true, todays stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to plain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often plain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.28.It can be learned from the passage that stars today _.A. are often misunderstood by the public B. spend too much on their public appearanceC. can no longer have their privacy protected D. care little about how they have e into fame29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. The problem faced by celebrities has a long historyB. Great heroes of the past were generally admiredC. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloidsD. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers30.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Lack of favorable chances B. Inadequate social recognition C. Availability of modern media D. Huge population of fans31.What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrities?A. Sympathetic B. Sceptical C. Disapproving D. SincereDThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the ing of new technologies like puters and smartphones, writing by hand has bee something of a nostalgic(怀旧的) skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to plete various writing tasks both on a puter and by hand. The study, published in xx, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more plete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write,Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas. Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcriber（转换） those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen, the study said. Seeing the words in the minds eye helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our puter age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the puter.”32.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A. The absence of blackboard in classroomB. The use of new technologies in teaching C. The lack of practice in handwritingD. The popular use of smartphones33.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability B. Spelling improves ones memory of wordsC. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideasD. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas34.What does “minds eye” in paragraph 6 mean? A. WindowB. Soul C. Picture D. Imagination35.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? A. puters can help people with their choice of words B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching C. Handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone wants to succeed. 36 Here are some useful tips.Be first with a purpose. 37 Lots of employees, managers, and business owners are the first to arrive each day.
