A
It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the
storm,though,was beautiful:blue skies,warm air and a calm,inviting sea touching the
shore gently.
My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me
to go with him.I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to
go all the same.I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but
the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all, it was protected by the arms
of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board,we noticed
two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn’t
believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here.The storm must have
driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badlly
polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale——actually as big as our boal——was obviously stuck
and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big
whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.”She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong
side,”my father said.At this point,my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the
other side and ,heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.With our
several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappared under water.Then it
swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape
but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the
whales
and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Showly,they let us lead
them,some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us
a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water
flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam
into the distance.
so glad I did .”(in Para.2)because __________.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with

day at sea.

B
For many parents , raising a teenager is like fighting a long war ,but years
go by without any clear winner . Like a border conflict between neighboring
countries ,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what
I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace ,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict .
In part ,this is because neither is willing to admit .any responsibility for starting
it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their
adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course .the
teens see it in exactly
the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped
In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise
between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win
situation is quarrels over
unimportant things . Examples include the color
of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom ,the preferred style of
clothing , the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school ,or his tendency
to sleep until noon on the weekends .Second ,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle
is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes
wrong . Third , needing to be right ,It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics.
The taws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments
is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong .for both wish to be
considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and
therefore to
command respect. Unfortunately , as long as long as parents and teens continue to
assume that they know more than the other ,they’ll continue to fight these battles
forever and never make any real progress
55. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations .
B. Both are about where to draw the line
C. Neither has any clear winner
D. Neither can be put to an end
56. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict
C. The
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents
57.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.
A. give orders to the other
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other
D.get the other to behave properly
58. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Causes
teens acouse their parents of misleading them
for the parent –teen conflicts
B. Examples of the parent –teen war.
C. Solutions for the parent –teen problems
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship
C
They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessorise(配饰).Yet
these are girls in their teens or twenties but
women in their sixties and
seventies.A gengration which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now
favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.
Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert , said ,“Women over 75 are now
shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the
1960s .In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter . It was an expensive
item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick
one up at the supermarket
whenever you wish to .Fashion is a lot cheaper and people
get tired of things more quickly . ”
Professor Twigg analysed family expending(支出)data and found that while the
percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same
—and 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.
The professor said,“Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the
1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East.In the 1960s Leeds
was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes
came from,but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.Everyone is buying
more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”
Fashion designer Angela Barnard ,who runs her own fashion business in London ,said
celebrity(名流) style than in previous
older women were much more affected by
years .
She said ,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking
attractive and fashionable in their sixties ,they want to follow them . Older women
are much more aware of celebrities .There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing
people how they can change their look,and many of my older customers do yoga to stay
in shape well in their fifties . When I started my business a few years ago .my older
customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary
women .My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never
have done ten years ago.”
59. Professor Twigg found that ,compared with the 1960s,_______.
A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%
B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%
C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothes
D. the amount of chothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%
60. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?
A.They are often ignored by fashion designers .
B. They are now more easily influenced by stars .
C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion .
D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age .
61. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly
