But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanns noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk ,” said Mark . “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact , parents are first on the list .” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers . “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends firs t, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what theirchildren want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give theirchildren a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them .56．“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _______________.A．is always busy with his studies B．doesn’t wa nt to be disturbed C．keeps himself away from his parents D．begins to dislike his parents 57．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that __________.A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as beforeB．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exact lyC．they don’t know what to say to their daughterD．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help58．Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives.59．What can be learned from the passage?A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers.BHappy birthdayThe China National Opera(CNO) will give a concert to celebrate its 50th birthday.Different generations of CNO vocalists, like Li Guangxi, Yao Hong and Ma Mei, will present the concert which will feature both songs from famous Chinese operas like "The White-haired Girl" and "The Hundredth Bride", as well as arias（咏叹调）of such Western opera classics as "Madame Butterfly", "La Traviata" and "Rigoletto ".Time/date: 7: 30 pm, September 7, 8Location: Tianqiao TheatreTel: 6551 - 4787, 8315 - 6170 Tickets: 60 - 500 yuan (US $ -Folk musicA concert will be held to feature some recently composed traditional Chinese music works.The concert, given by the Folk Orchestra of the China Opera and Ballet Theatre, will include such pieces as "Memory of Childhood", "Memorial Ceremony for God" and "Wine Song".Time/date: 7: 30 pm, September 13Location: Concert Hall at the National Library of ChinaTel: 6848 - 5462, 6841 –9220 Tickets:30 - 200 yuan (US $ - )Moon musicA concert of traditional Chinese music will be given on the eve of the Moon Festival which falls on September 21st this year.The concert will feature a number of famous pieces centred on the theme of the moon, such as "Moonlight ", "Spring Night on a Moonlit River" and "Lofty Mountain and Flowing River."A number of established traditional Chinese music performers, like Zhou Yaokun and Fan Weiqing, will play solos as well as collaborate with the folk music orchestra.Time/date: 7:30 pm, September 21stLocation: Grand Theatre of the Cultural Palace of NationalitiesTel: 6606 - 8888, 6606 – 999960.

I believe he may have been captain in his senior year. He is a tough-looking guy, a hero in Columbus, a brave fighter in a red-and-gray uniform.One holiday season Jack and I had been at the F & R Lazarus department store downtown, and we saw, carrying a tall pile of boxes, someone who clearly was working in the Lazarus stockroom (仓库). It was Mike Ingram, post-Ohio State football player.We stared—how could we help it? And Mike Ingram stopped in his track, looked right back at us, and said, with bite in his tone: “ Yeah, it’s me.” Meaning: Go ahead and stare if you must.Couldn’t really blame him. There was nothing wrong with what he was doing--- he was earning some money in the stockroom. But he was out in the world now, he wasn’t where he had been when everything was bathed in sunlight; he was in Ohio Stadium, hearing the supporting shouts from 78,000 people who loved him and his teammates. He had moved past that first of life’s roles, as everyone does. It was his misfortune to have been famous very early; there must have been dozens and dozens of men in their twenties working in the Lazarus stockroom, but Mike Ingram was the one sure to attract curious passers, because he was no longer who he was supposed to be.68. When the writer met him in Lazarus, Mike was a __________.A. salesmanB. managerC. laborerD. customer69. By saying “how could we help it?” the writer means that __________.A. he and his friend just can’t force themselves not to look at MikeB. he wonders whether he and his friend can help MikeC. he and his friend can’t stop looking at each otherD. he and his friend can do nothing to stop Mike carrying the boxes70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mike used to be very popular when he played in the Ohio State football team.B. Many other people would stare at Mike like the writer when they run into him.C. Working as an ordinary worker, according to the writer, is Mike’s misfortune.D. Some people accept what life gives them.71. We can infer from the passage that when Mike was stared at, he looked __________.A. niceB. worriedC. shyD. unhappyEEven though she’s just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She’s a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose.But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as she’s told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony’s barking RobotAibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibo’s innovations(创新) one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning.The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breathe into an inanimate(无生命的) object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking in one of the abilities that life-forms use to react to their environment.So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy’s case, it’s a multistep process. When presented a text like “I love you” and asked “Can you read this?”Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuiltdigital camera scans a 15-degree radius in search of number- or letter-shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindy’s 16-bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 700 words. If it’s a match, “ I love you,” she says.72. This passage most likely appears in a _______________.A. medical reportB. classified adC. science journalD. music magazine73. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Robot Aibo?A. It could recognize shapes and colors.B. It could respond to spoken commandsC. It came onto the market no later than 1990D. It was created much later than Cindy Smart74. The underlined “ it ” in the third paragraph most likely refers to _____________.A. the processB. the objectC. the dollD. the company75. According to the passage, how can Cindy “ see ”?A. She recognizes any text as “I love you”B. She is equipped with a camera to search for textC. She is instructed by an engineer standing next to herD. She makes contact with the shapes of the text with her stomach第二卷及答卷第二卷非选择题（共35分）第四部分写作（共三节，满分35分）第一节：改写句子（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）把划线部分改写成一个从句或并列句，不能改变句子意思。
