AA few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still beliving in almost 30 years later.It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford t o buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I –―Generation Y‖ –still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put i t in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation―arrogant‖, ―impatient‖, and ―overprotected‖. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.By Ariel Lewiton21. When the author walked through her parents’ house, she ________.A. was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from lifeB. started to think about her own lifeC. realized I should buy a house.D. wondered why her parents had settled down early22. What is the main ―generation gap‖ between the author and her friends and their parentsaccording to the article?A. Their attitude toward high technology.B. Their ways of making their way to the top.C. Their attitude towards responsibility.D. Their ways of gaining experience.23. What can we conclude from the article?A. The author is envious of her parents enjoying a big house at her age.B. Growing up in a hi-tech world makes ―Generation Y‖ feel insecure about relationships.C. ―Generation Y‖ people don’t want to grow up and love to be taken care of by their parents.D. The author wrote this article so that others would be able to understand her generation better.BToo many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That iswhysome friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn totreat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing then you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends; you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.24. Some friendships don’t last long because ________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those (who never give others friendships) receive no friendship from othersC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious25. According to the passage honesty is ________.A. something countableB. the base of friendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important than anything else26. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. Always tell your friend the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.27. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB.A Friend In Need Is a Friend IndeedC. How To Be a FriendD. Three Important Points In LifeCWhile tofu is a household name in Asia, it has still not been completely accepted into the Western kitchen. When it arrived in the West, tofu found itself sittingalone in the food playground, ignored by the other kids. And when tofudid make friends, it was only with the open-minded, peace-lovingvegetarians sometimes referred to as ―hippies‖.Why is it that such a staple(主要的)ingredient in the East has been subject to(遭受)such discrimination in the West? Well, tofu quite literally(简直)missed the boat. Tofu originated in China some 2, 000 years ago. But when the Europeans first arrived in China they ignored it. While rice was embraced with open arms and brought home with popular acclaim(称赞), tofu followed later and with much less success.Growing up in Australia I only had a vague notion of what tofu was. It was just last year, when I lived in the Dutch town of Maastricht, that we were really introduced. In that town, lots of students choose to live in ―squats‖—old run-down factories rented out for very cheap prices. One of these squats holds a ―Vegan Dinner‖ every Monday. In the dishes served there, tofu was a staple and I found that I quite liked it!Slowly but surely tofu is becoming accepted into mainstream Western cooking circles. In March, the singer Justin Timberlake dressed up in a tofu suit for a sketch(短剧)on NBC’s show Saturday Night Live to promote the silky food. And notable UK food experts such as Nigel Slater and Fuchsia Dunlop are singing tofu’s praises as well. As Slater writes in an article published in The Guardian, ―I think the Chinese know what they are talking about and I must give their beloved dou-fu(yet)another chance‖. He found that when cooked with chilli, garlic and ginger, tofu was a very welcome guest at his dinner party!28. When tofu was introduced to the West, it ________.A. was not accepted, just like riceB. was well-received mostly by hippiesC. was difficult to find things to cook with itD. was viewed as a toy instead of food29. The phrase ―missed the boat‖in the second paragraph probably means―________‖.A. failed to take advantage of an opportunityB. was in the same situationC. experienced a big changeD. drew much attention30. The first time the author tasted tofu in Maastricht, she ________.A. had already eaten it in AustraliaB. developed a love for itC. felt it was not her cup of teaD. found that she had expected too much from it31. By quoting Slater in the last paragraph, the author intends to show ________.A. it is beneficial to eat tofu now and thenB. a new creative way to cook tofu has been praisedC. tofu is becoming a staple at Western dinner partiesD. tofu is becoming popular in the WestDEvery day we trust school bus drivers to safely transport our children to and from school and any places in between. Most of us probably never give it a second thought. I just read an article that explains how a 17-year-old passenger on a school bus prevented a traffic accident which would certainly have resulted in passengers’ injuries or maybe even deaths.The school bus driver suffered a heart attack while driving students home from school at theend of the day. The driver did not survive, but all of the students on the bus were spared injury by the quick reaction of this brave teen. She steered（驾驶）the bus to safety and then put it in a parking lot.My immediate thought was about school bus safety. Can this kind of situation be prevented all the time? Probably not! Accidents are accidents, and they cannot all be prevented. But, there are procedures and policies that can be put into practice and may reduce the likelihood of this type of accident.Every state and every country has regulations regarding drivers. The regulations vary from state to state and country to country, but they all have one thing in common. These regulations are meant for promoting safety.There are many software products about school bus routes, like BusBoss that allows you to keep track of various tests and licenses of drivers. With BusBoss, you can track the numbers of the licenses and their expiration dates（截止日期）, physical that are due, criminal background checks, child abuse background checks, immigration status, and so on. You can also keep track of driving violations.I am not suggesting that this particular situation can be avoided by using the software to keep track of drivers. My point is that you will be better informed to make appropriate decisions regarding students’safety by having more information available to you. If you are not already using software to keep track of this information, I strongly encourage you to see what BusBoss can do for you.32. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The school bus accident has resulted in passengers’ injuries.B. The school bus accident happened when the bus was on the way to school.C. A 17-year-old boy immediately stopped the school bus accident bravely.D. A 17-year-old girl prevented a traffic accident after the driver suffered a heart attack.33. The underlined word ―spared‖ in Paragraph 2 means ― ________‖.A. considered asB. saved fromC. accepted into C. led to34. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce the functions of a software about school bus routes.B. To encourage the public to have concern for school bus safety by having more information.C. To persuade the public to use software to keep track of the drivers’ information.D. To advise drivers to find out how they can use the software products like BusBoss.35. We can conclude the writer of the passage is most probably a ________.A. headmasterB. school bus driverC. software sellerD. monitor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。
