4、ntre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Lets say you love roller-skating. Just the thought of 26 on your roller-skates brings a smile to your face. You also know that roller-skating is excellent exercise. You have a 27 a

10、N) StrappingO) TypicalSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.

11、 Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Changing GenerationA It turns out todays teenagers arent so scary after all. Results of USA WEEKENDS Teens & Parents survey reveal a generation of young people who get along well w

12、ith their parents and approve of the way theyre being raised. They think of their parents with affection and respect. They speak with Mom or Dad when they have a problem. Most feel that their parents understand them, and they believe their family is the No. 1 priority in their parents* lives. Many e

13、ven think their parents are cool! Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, rarely is it anything more alarming than a diary or off-color (低俗的)book or CD.B Such results may seem surprising against the background of shocking incidents

14、that color the way the mass media portray the young. In October 2000, the same month the survey was taken, the Washingtonbased Center for Media and Public Affairs wrote in its publication Media Monitor that, in a recent month of TV news coverage of American youth, just 2% of teens were shown at home

15、, and just 1% were portrayed in a work setting. In contrast, the criminal justice system accounted for nearly one out of every five visual backgrounds. No wonder parents worry their own kids might spin out of control once they hit the turbulent waters of adolescence.C The overall facts ought to reas

16、sure us. The survey shows us that todays teens are affectionate, sensible and far happier than the angry and tortured souls that have been painted for us by stereotypes. From other sources, we also know teenage crime, drug abuse and premarital sex are in general decline. We, of course, need to pay a

17、ttention to youngsters who are filled with discontent and hostility, but we should not allow these extreme cases to distort our view of most young people.D My own research at the Stanford Center on Adolescence uses in-depth interviews with small samples of youngsters rather than large-scale surveys.

18、 Still, in my studies and others 1 have read, I find the same patterns as in USA WEEKENDS survey. Todays teenagers admire their parents and welcome parental guidance about important matters such as career choice though certainly not Mom and Dads advice on matters of personal taste, such as music or

19、fashion. When we ask teens to choose a hero, they usually select an older family member rather than a remote public figure. Most teens say they enjoy the company of both parents and friends.E Contrary to some stereotypes, most adolescents believe they must be tolerant of differences among individual

20、s （though they do not always find this easy in the cliquish （拉帮结派的）environment of high school）. Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. One prevalent quality we have found in teens statements about themselves, their friends and their families is a strikingly positive

21、emotional tone. By and large, these are very nice kids, and as the band The Who used to sing, The kids are alright.F How much is todays spirit of harmony a change from our more turbulent past? A mere generation ago, parent-child relations were described as the generation gap. Yet even then reports o

22、f widespread youth rebellion were overdone: Most kids in the 560s and 70s shared their parents* basic values. Still, it is true that American families are growing closer at the dawn of this new millennium （千禧年）.Perhaps there is less to fight about, with the country in a period of tranquility and the

23、 dangers of drug abuse and other unwholesome behavior well known. Perhaps in the face of impersonal and intimidating globalization, a young persons family feels more like a friendly haven than an oppressive trap. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than in the recent past. Within just t

24、he past five years, I have noticed parents returning to a belief that teenagers need the guidance of elders rather than the liberal, anything goes mode of child-rearing that became popular in the second half of the 20th century.G But missing from all these data is the sense that todays young care ve

25、ry much about their country, about the broader civic and political environment, or about the future of their society. They seem to be turning inward generally in a pro-social manner, certainly with positive benefits for intimate relationships, but too often at the expense of a connection with the pr

26、esent and future world beyond, including the society they will one day inherit.H Recently, we examined more than 400 essays on the Laws of that teens from two communities had written as part of an educational program initiated by the John Templeton Foundation in Radnor, Pa. In those essays, and in f

27、ol low-up interviews with a few of the teenagers, we found lots of insight, positive feeling and inspirational thinking. But we also found little interest in civic life beyond the tight circles of their family and immediate friends.I For example, only one boy said he would like to be president when

28、he grows up. When I was in high school, dozens in my class alone would have answered differently. In fact, other recent studies have found there has never been a time in American history when so small a proportion of young people have sought or accepted leadership roles in local civic organizations.

29、 It is also troubling that voting rates among our youngest eligible voters18- to 24-year-oldsare way down: Little more than one in four now go to the polls, even in national elections, compared with almost twice that many when 18-year- olds were first given the vote.J In our interviews, many student

30、s viewed politics with suspicion and distaste. Most politicians are kind of crooked (不诚实的)，” one student declared. Another, discussing national politics, said, I feel like one person cant do that much, and I get the impression most people dont think a group of people can do that much. Asked what the

31、y would like to change in the world, the students mentioned only personal concerns such as slowing down the pace of life, gaining good friends, becoming more spiritual, becoming either more materially successful or less materially oriented (depending on the students values), and being more respectfu

32、l of the Earth, animals and other people. One boy said, Id rather be concentrating on artistic efforts than saving the world or something.”K It is fine and healthy for teens to cultivate their personal interests, and it is good news when young people enjoy harmonious relations with their family and

33、friends. But there is also a place in a young life for noble purposes that include a dedication to the broader society, a love of country and an aspiration to make their own leadership contributions.L In the past, the young have eagerly participated in national service and civic affairs, often with

34、lots of energy and idealism. If this is not happening today, we should ask why. Our society needs the full participation of its younger citizens if it is to continue to thrive. We know the promise is there this is a well-grounded, talented, warm-hearted group of youngsters. We have everything to gai

35、n by encouraging them to explore the world beyond their immediate experience and to prepare themselves for their turn at shaping that world.36. Not many young people eligible for voting are interested in local or national elections these days.37. Parents are concerned that their children may get inv

36、olved in criminal offences once they reach their teens.38. Even during the turbulent years of last century, youth rebellion was often exaggerated in the media.39. Teenagers of today often turn to their parents for advice on such important matters as career choice.40. The incidence of teenage crime a

37、nd misbehavior is decreasing nowadays.41. Young people should have lofty ideals in life and strive to be leaders.42. Some young people like to keep something to themselves and dont want their parents to know about it.43. It is beneficial to encourage young people to explore the broader world and get

38、 ready to make it a better place.44. Many teenagers now offer to render service to the needy.45. Interviews with students find many of them are only concerned about personal matters.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished st

39、atements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Manufacturers of products that c

40、laim to be environmentally friendly will face tighter rules on how they are advertised to consumers under changes proposed by the Federal Trade Commission.The commissions revised Green Guides warn marketers against using labels that make broad claims, like eco-friendly. Marketers must qualify their

41、claims on the product packaging and limit them to a specific benefit, such as how much of the product is recycled.This is really about trying to cut through the confusion that consumers have when they are buying a product and that businesses have when they are selling a product,” said Jon Leibowitz,

42、 chairman of the commission.The revisions come at a time when green marketing is on the rise. According to a new study, the number of advertisements with green messages in mainstream magazines has risen since 1987, and peaked in 2008 at 10.4%. In 2009, the number dropped to 9%.But while the number o

43、f advertisements may have dipped, there has been a rapid spread of eco-labeling. There are both good and bad players in the eco-labeling game.In the last five years or so, there has been an explosion of green claims and environmental claims. It is clear that consumers dont always know what they are

44、getting.A handful of lawsuits have been filed in recent years against companies accused of using misleading environmental labels. In 2008 and 2009, class-action lawsuits (集体诉讼)were filed against SC Johnson for using Greenlist labels on its cleaning products. The lawsuits said that the label was misl

45、eading because it gave the impression that the products had been certified by a third party when the certification was the companys own.We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Greenlist system and we believe that we will prevail in these cases, Christopher Beard, director of public affair

46、s for SC Johnson, said, while acknowledging that “this has been an area that is difficult to navigate”.Companies have also taken it upon themselves to contest each others green claims.David Mallen, associate director of the Council of Better Business Bureau, said in the last two years the organizati

47、on had seen an increase in the number of claims companies were bringing against each other for false or misleading environmental product claims.About once a week, I have a client that will bring up a new certification Ive never even heard of and Im in this industry, said Kevin Wilhelm, chief executi

48、ve officer of Sustainable Business Consulting. t4Ifs kind of a Wild West, anybody can claim themselves to be green., Mr. Wilhelm said the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labels they should pay attention to.46. What do the revised “Green Guides” require businesses to do?A) Manufacture as many green products as possible.B) Indicate whether their products are recyclable.C) Specify in what way their products are green.D) Attach green labels to all of their products.47.
