26、To Friend or Not to Friend

We all love our parents and turn to them when we're in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as "friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?

In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.

These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don't get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a "friend" request from a parent or family member.

It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don't want to "reject" their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.

A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request: "When a teen ignores a parent's friend request, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent." Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.

【1】From Paragraph 2, we learn that

A．parents feel secure about the privacy online

B．social networks successfully fill the generation gap

C．parents have realized the importance of social networks

D．social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate

【2】Teenagers may refuse a parent's friend request because .

A．they hide something from their parents

B．they are unwilling to be watched by parents

C．their parents tend to fall behind in technology

D．their parents make negative comoments on them

【3】The passage is mainly about

A．parents* friend requests

B．social networks

C．privacy online

D．the generation gap

【4】The passage is written mainly for

A．teachers

B．parents

C．teenagers

D．researchers

27、TRUE STORIES IN 100 WORDS

Monkey in the Middle

I often go to the primate （灵长类）building at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. A chimpanzee （猩猩）named Beau began to recognize me. He would copy what I did when seeing me. When I told my friend Jerry about this, he was doubtful. So one day, I brought him with me. Beau came down, looked at me and my friend, then went to get a drink of water. When he returned, Beau spit his mouthful of water at Jerry. Was he envious？ We had a good laugh.

—Sandy Rozelman Euclid, Ohio

A Hard Pill to Swallow

As a doctor, I instruct patients on their new medicines. One day, I was informing a woman about the side effects of her medicine, especially sleepiness. “You won't be able to work or drive while you're taking this,” I told her. “Do you have any questions？” Her little boy, who had been quietly standing next to her, raised his hand. “Can she still cook？” he asked. “Of course, she can,” I replied. His mother explained pitifully, “He was hoping you'd say no.”

—Lita Hernandez Manchaca, Texas

28、Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher regarded as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral (道德的) philosopher. He made no writings, and is known mainly through the description of classical writers’ writing after his lifetime, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. Aristophanes, a writer, is the only source to have written during his lifetime.

Socrates was born in Alopeke. He first worked as a sculptor, and created the statues of the Charites, which stood near the Acropolis until the 2nd century AD. Xenophon reports that because young men were not allowed to enter the Agora, they used to gather in shops surrounding it. Socrates often went to these shops in order to talk with the traders. Most famous among them was Simon, the Shoemaker.

Perhaps Socrates’ most important contribution to Western thought is his dialectic (辩证的) method of questioning, known as the Socratic method. It was first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. To solve a problem, it would be broken down into a series of questions, the answers to which gradually collect the answer a person would look for. The development and practice of this method is a key point in earning his title as the father of moral philosophy in Western philosophy. The Socratic method has often been considered as a part of American education.

Socrates had a strong influence on philosophers in both ancient and modern times. Achievements of Socrates in art, literature and popular culture have made him one of the most widely known figures in the Western philosophical tradition.

【1】What do we know about Socrates?

A．He gets on well with his students.

B．He is known by writers’ recording.

C．He dislikes reading others’ writings.

D．He loves classical writers very much.

【2】Why did Socrates often go to the shop?

A．He wanted to look for his students.

B．He took an interest in making shoes.

C．He aimed at having a chat with sellers.

D．He planned to buy some useful things.

【3】What made Socrates the father of moral philosophy?

A．His dialectic method of questioning.

B．His practice of western philosophy.

C．His good solution to moral philosophy.

D．His contribution to American education.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To require people to respect Socrates.

B．To introduce a great Greek philosopher.

C．To show his love for a great philosopher.

D．To remember a great Greek philosopher.

29、   I'm a New York City firefighter. Every day, I see terror — sometimes even death. But the day I found Scarlett was different. That day I saw life and love.

We got a call about a burning garage. Outside, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn't stop — I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out. It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control, but we did it. No one inside was hurt. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. At that point I was free to follow the cat noises to a spot. There were five terrified kittens, crying and huddled together.

I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all of her babies, one by one — unbelievable.

We finally found her. She was badly burnt. She could hardly move. I picked her up and she felt relaxed in my arms. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.

About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.

Knowing what Scarlett went through for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times — and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.

As a freighter, I see heroism every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother's love.

D．her survival in the fire.

【4】Which best describes the author's feeling when he found the mother cat?

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
