Last summer, she wanted to 3 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 4 it. The team practice, 5was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 6 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 7 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 8 to go!

She had a 11 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My tenyear-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 12 human being with a passion and a mission.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, 'Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?'" says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, uTo my mother, my best friend.But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. "There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening/9 says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the "before, side of that change, but today's parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the 'after' side,“ explains Mr. Ballmer. “It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.” 1、The underlined word 'gulf' in Para.3 most probably means.A. interest B. distanceC. separation D. difference2、 The change in today's parent-child relationship is.A. more confusion among parentsB. less respect for parents from childrenC. new equality between parents and childrenD. more strictness and authority on the part of parents3、 By saying “today's parents, the 40-year-olds,were on the 'after9 side." the author means that today's parentsA. have little difficulty adjusting to the changeB. can set a limit to the changeC. fail to take the change seriouslyD. follow the trend of the change4、The puipose of the passage is to.A. describe the difficulties today's parents have met withB. discuss the development of the parent-child relationshipC. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationshipD. compare today9s parent-child relationship with that in the pastText 2You already know that making a good first impression can go a long way. But forget all the advice you've received about dressing to impress or putting on a cheesy smile. It turns out that the true secret to building a lasting connection reaches much deeper than what you wear.According to Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School professor who has researched first impressions for more than 15 years, everyone asks two questions when they meeting someone new: Can I trust this person? And can I respect this person?Both questions help you measure a person's warmth and competence, respectively. But, Cuddy says, you should put gaining your peers' trust over winning their respect-even in a workplace setting. "If someone you're trying to influence doesn't trust you, you're not going to get very far; in fact, you might even draw suspection because you come across as acontroller J Cuddy wrote in her book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. "A warm, trustworthy person who is also strongly admired, but only after you've established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”But thafs not the only way you can start off on the right foot with a stranger. Your physical appearance matters, too. A 2017 study by psychologist Leslie Zebrowitz of Brandeis University found that people use four clues to judge your face: babyfacedness, familiarity, fitness, and emotional resemblance. While you can't control all of these factors, you can improve your "emotional resemblance“ by using body language that builds trust naturally.The next time you meet someone new, focus on gaining their trust一not winning them over with a firm handshake.1、Whafs the main misunderstanding described in the first paragraph?A. dressing to impress.B , putting on a cheesy smile.C. making a good first impression.D. building a lasting connection.2、Which is more important in a workplace setting according to Amy Cuddy?A , gaining your peers9 trust.B. winning your peers' respect.C. trying to influence your peers.D. drawing your peers' suspection as a controller.3、What does Leslie Zebrowitz suggest in a 2017 study?A.

But it wasn't always this way, as the following cities once dominated the world around them.Djenne-DjennoIn the flood lands of the Niger delta people have been building houses and other structures with clay for centuries. The town of Djenne-Djenno is made entirely out of clay. It was inhabited as far back as 250 BC, and became an important link in the trans-Saharan gold trade（跨撒哈拉黄金交易）.Constructed on hills called “toguere”, the city managed to escape the marshy（沼泽的）landscape and annual floods produced by the rainy season. Djenne-Djenno is believed to be one of the earliest settlements in the sub-Saharan region, and is considered by some to be “the typical African City”.Archeological evidence shows us a continuous human presence in the area up until the 14th century AD, when people moved to the nearby town of Djenne, founded in the 11th century. Further evidence points out that even before the city*s construction, the Bozo people were growing wild rice in the region. In the 13th century AD, with King Koumboro's conversion to Islam, its palace transformed into a mosque.CarthageLegend has it that Carthage was founded by Queen Dido of the Phoenicians. She fled the city of Tyre located in present-day Lebanon in order to escape the hatred of her brother Pygmalion, who was her rival to the throne. Along with a group of settlers, she traveled a great distance by sea and landed in North Africa, where she met King larbas. He offered to give them land in order to build a settlement, but no bigger than the surface covered by the hide（牛皮）of an ox. They cleverly cut the hide into thin strips and were able to enclose a fairly large area of land. On this land, the mighty city of Carthage was built.These stories are most likely just that, but the fact that the Phoenicians built the city around 760 BC is true. Located in such a good positionin the middle of the Mediterranean, close to Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and a pretty good distance from Egypthelped make Carthage a leading trade center and military power. The population soon reached half a million citizens and, in order to house them all, buildings were all built five or six stories tall. Carthage was the first city in ancient times to have a centralized sewage system, linking all buildings within the city walls. The most notable of structures among the ruins was the “Thophet”, which is believed to be an altar(圣坛)for child sacrifice.TenochtitlanTenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire. It was built on an island surrounded by Lake Texcoco deep inside the jungles of Central America. By the time the Spanish conquerors were aware of its existence, the population was around 200, 000. This was a city very different from what the Europeans were used to. Founde
