     Do you like Hip-Hop? Hip-Hop is now very popular in the world. Hip-Hop is a new kind of music. Today, Hip-Hop music is a big business. Hip-Hop artists make millions of dollars. They are superstars and have many fans all over the world. But Hip-Hop wasn’t always so popular. It’s only about thirty years old. Hip-Hop started in New York. Young people in New York wanted to make music, but they had a problem. Many of them did not have enough money to buy expensive instruments. They also did not have any place to practise. Hip-Hop was the perfect answer to this problem, as Hip-Hop artists did not need any special instruments and they could practise anywhere. 

 Do you like dancing? Do you think dancing is difficult? Breakdancing is a very difficult kind of dancing. People dance to Hip-Hop music. Breakdancers have to be very strong and fast. Breakdancing started in the 1980s at the same time as Hip-Hop. At first, breakdancing was like fighting. Breakdancers had “battles”. Each breakdancer did his best to dance in the contest. Then the people who were watching decided which breakdancer was the best. The winner didn’t get any money, but they didn’t care. Dancers just wanted to be the best breakdancer on their street.

Today, people breakdance all over the world. There are professional breakdancing contests. Winners can get a lot of money, and sometimes they are on TV. Just like Hip-Hop, breakdancing is now a big business.

50. Young people in New York choose Hip-Hop as their music because_______.

 A. they just liked it.                   B. they wanted to make music.

C. It was easy to practice.             D. No special instruments were needed.

51. In order to be a breakdancer, one must be ____________.

A. clever       B. tall and strong     C. brave          D. strong and fast

52. What’s the passage mainly about?

                            C  

Don’t talk to me. I’m busy with my iPhone.

Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not impolite—people are just too busy to bother looking.

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.

Apple must make a lot of money from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“Apps” (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One“App”, called Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination(目的地). ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the“steam”on your phone screen.

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be distraction(消遣）of choice. It’s not just teenagers who“plug in”to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.

And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

  53. What does the underlined word “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means____?

      A. delighted          B. relaxed      C. amused        D. controlled

  54. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

      A. iPod is not popular with the commuters of old ages in London.

      B. With the time-fillers, commuters usually miss their destinations.   

      C. Apple has provided over 40,000 “Apps” since 2007.

      D. Those who are fond of war games can download iSteam to their iPhones.

  55. What does the passage mainly tell us?

      A. London commuters are very busy.

      B. Apple has created a lot of popular games.

      C. What London commuters are busy doing on the underground.

      D. How London commuters pass the time on the subway now.

                                D.

 It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure (从众心理) at some point. Every day, in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers. It can be as subtle (微妙的) as being asked  to be late for class or as extreme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme, peer pressure can have damaging, sometimes life changing, and even serious results.

 “Teens don’t often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,” said Terri Price, a researcher. “Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in”. Peer pressure has always been part of teen life, but teens experience it differently than their former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have increased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.

   Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. “Listen to your instinct （直觉） , which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong, then most likely it is. ”says Price.

  Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. Many teens are influenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities (不安全感). This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support, causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.

   Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. People can say, “Just say no,” but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.

56.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to __________.                .

   A. the Internet    B. teen life   C. peer pressure   D. the fear of not fitting in
57.You can know whether a teen suffers peer pressure by watching ______. 

   A. whether he often surfs the Internet    B. whether he can get security
   C. whether it is subtle or extreme         D. whether he feels comfortable with it 
58.Teens are easily influenced by peer pressure because __________.

   A. they don’t have the feeling of safety. 

B. they are afraid of fitting in or being accepted.

C. they need support for their health.
   D. they have nobody to turn to when in trouble.
59. The writer wants us to ________ by writing the article.

A. know about peer pressure      B. care more about teens

C. deal with peer pressure        D. understand the behavior of teenagers

   When I was in medical college, I went camping with my friends. The season was summer; therefore, we chose to go to the seaside.      60      , we rent a room and left our luggage there. We finished lunch and then decided to rent a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.
   We started to row, but about one mile out, the weather suddenly changed.      61     , we didn't want to give up. The weather got even worse, finally we had to go back. We tried to change the boat's direction.     62      , the oarlock (桨架) broke. Therefore, we were unable to turn back. Three hours passed, and nobody came to help us. 

After seeing the change of weather, we shouldn't have continued to row, but it was too late. We regretted(后悔) it. The sea changed a lot, the waves got very high, and the boat began to shake like a cradle(摇篮). One of my friends started to cry, another started to vomit(呕吐).     63    because we couldn't do anything.

We were just praying.
    Luckily, after five long hours of waiting, two big boats came to rescue us and we escaped.

	A. After we arrived there B. We had to wait for help C. But as soon as we changed it D. Although the weather was not good E. We were very happy to see them and thanked them

 

 

 

 

 

                         

八、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分，每小题2分)

In Japan, there are national festivals for girls and boys. These festivals are called Girl’s Day and Boy’s Day.

Girl’s Day is also called the Doll’s Festival. The Japanese celebrate it on the third day of the third month. On this day, a girl’s parents prepare a table in the best room in the house. They put a red cloth on the table. Then they put steps on the table. They arrange a set of fifteen special dolls on the steps. The dolls represent the royal family in ancient Japan.

In the festival, many girls wear the traditional kimono(和服). They have parties with their friends and eat rice cakes and drink a special rice wine. The wine has no alcohol in it, so children can drink it. After the party, the family has a traditional dinner for the girls in the family.

Two months after Girl’s day, On May 5, the Japanese celebrate Boy’s Day. Today they call it Children’s Day. People fly banners(旗）on their houses. The banners are made of paper or cloth, and they look like fish. When the wind blows, the fish fill with air and seem to be swimming. These banners represent a type of fish called the carp. The carp is a strong and brave fish. It swims up the rivers with great difficulty and doesn’t give up. People hope the boys will grow to be strong and brave like the carp.

The iris is an important flower on Boy’s Day because its leaves look like a sword. Japanese children are very happy on Girl’s Day and Boy’s Day, and they love these festivals for many reasons. But the biggest reason is because there is no school!

64. Are there national festivals for children in Japan? 

65. When is the Girl’s Day?
