It is well-known that the “prom”, a formal dance held at the end of high school or college, is an important date in every student’s life. What is less well-k nown is that the word “prom” comes from the verb “to promenade”, which means to walk around, beautifully dressed, in order to attract attention. The idea i s that you should see and be seen by others.The prom is not just an American tradition, though most people believe that it started in America. In Canada the event is called a “formal”. In Britain and A ustralia the old fashioned word “dance” is more and more frequently being referred to as a “prom”. Most countries have some form of celebration when stud ents finish high school: after all, it means the end of life as a child, and the beginning of life as an adult.The prom is expensive to organize and the tickets can cost students a lot of money. The tradition is that students themselves have to raise the money to pay f or it. Selling the students newspapers is one way to raise money; so is taking a part-time job at the weekend.Although the prom should be the experience of a lifetime, it also worries many students. There is the problem of what to wear, who to take as your partner, who will be voted “prom queen”, etc. And it is not only students who feel worried. What many parents find difficult is the realization that their children’s sc hool days are almost over. However, for most people at the prom, once the music starts playing, everyone relaxes and stops worrying.【小题1】In which country is the prom called a “formal”?A.America.B.Canada.C.Britain.D.Australia.【小题2】Why is the prom important in the students’ lives?A.It’s the sign of becoming an adult.B.It’s an old tradition in many countries.C.There are many problems to work out.D.The students can raise money by themselves.【小题3】What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of the prom.B.The traditions of the prom.C.The development of the prom.D.The general information of the prom.17. When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who has wings of their own and who will fly with me.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to le arn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us woul d say, “Let’s start with a train whistle(鸣笛)today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. The n we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social persons and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair, too. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of u s that we would be sorry later if we did not travel over this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found ma ny excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a great friend whose imagination brightens mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Eac h of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.It is such comforting companions(陪伴)I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be with my own best friend.【小题1】We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the writer ______ finally.A.wasn’t serious about her studiesB.didn’t like writing poems or storiesC.became popular with her classmatesD.developed her proper social behaviors【小题2】The underlined sentence “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.A.our tour in London was a memorable gift to both of usB.our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedC.we were unwilling to stay away from LondonD.we waved goodbye to each other in London【小题3】What is the best title for the passage?A.Unforgettable Experiences.B.Unbelievable Imagination.C.Touching Companions.D.Lifelong Friendship.18. Carmen Arace Middle School is situated in the pastoral town of Bloomfield, Conn., but four years ago it faced many of the same problems as inner-city schools in nearby Hartford: low scores on standardized tests and dropping enrollment(入学注册). Then the school’s hard-driving headmaster, Delores Bo lton, persuaded her board to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use, in school and at home. What’s more, the bo ard provided wireless Internet access at school. Total cost: $2.5 million.Now, an hour before classes start, every seat in the library is taken by students who cannot wait for getting online. Fifth-grade teacher Jen Friday talks about different kinds of birds as students view them at a colorful website. After school, students on buses pull laptops from backpacks to get started on homework.Since the computer arrived, enrollment is up 20%. Scores on state tests are up 35%.Indeed, school systems in rural Maine and New York City also hope to follow Arace Middle School’s example. Governor Angus King had planned using $5 0 million to buy a laptop for all of Maine’s 17,000 seventh-graders – and for new seventh-graders each fall.In the same spirit, the New York City board of education voted on April 12 to create a school Internet portal(入口), which would make money by selling ads and licensing public school students. Profits(盈利)will also provide e-mail service for the city’s 1.1 million public school students. Profits will be use d to buy laptops for each of the school system’s 87,000 fourth-graders. Within nine years, all students in grades 4 and higher will have their own computers. Back in Bloomfield, in the meantime, most of thekinkshave been worked out. Some students were using their computers to visit unauthorized(非法的)w ebsites. But teachers have the ability to keep an eye on where students have been on the Web and to stop them. “That is the worst when they disable you,” sa ys eighth-grade honors student Jamie Bassell. The habit is rubbing off on parents. “I taught my mom to use e-mail,” says another eighth-grader, Katherine H ypolite. “And now she’s taking computer classes. I’m so proud of her!”【小题1】The example of Carmen Arace Middle School in the passage is used to ______.A.show the problems schools are faced with todayB.prove that a school without high enrollment can do wellC.express the importance of computers in modern educationD.tell that laptops can help improve students’ school performance【小题2】According to the writer, students in New York City’s public schools will ______.A.enjoy e-mail service in the near futureB.make money by selling ads on websitesC.all have their own laptops within nine yearsD.become more interested in their studies with laptops【小题3】The underlined word “kinks” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.A.plans B.projects C.problems D.products【小题4】From the passage we learn that ______.A.a school Internet portal is the key to a laptop programB.the laptop program also has a good influence on parentsC.students slowly accept the fact their online activities controlledD.the laptop program in public school is mainly for the eighth-graders四、补全短文5选519. Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box?【小题1】? And what do your choices tell about your personal qualities(品质)?【小题2】. It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart. We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kin d of natural empathy.【小题3】. When it isn’t, we’re not able to understand other people’s feelings sharply.Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while yo u were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose shows your inner world.We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Passing over the tradition won’t make it go away.【小题4】, te ll your friends ahead of time.A.When do you send a right giftB.However, it needs to be developedC.If you really dislike such a traditionD.Why do presents sometimes go wrongE.Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe五、回答问题20. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let your anger go off. But forgiveness(原谅)is possible – and it can be surprisingly help ful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People w ho forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the damage to o ur system and allow people to feel more energetic.”So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someo ne you love. Don’t wait for an apology(道歉). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who worries you. Mentally going over your hurt gives pow er to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(看法). You may realize that he or she was acting out of knowledge, fear – even love. To get perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.【小题1】What’s the name of Dr. Frederic Luskin’s book?【小题2】According to the writer, what should you do first after being hurt?【小题3】Why does Dr. Luskin advise us not to wait for an apology after being hurt?【小题4】What’s the writer’s idea to get perspective?【小题5】What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage?六、填写适当的句子补全对话21. 根据中文意思完成句子。
