23、eens. Shes with them at home and shes with them at school. She plays the piano and the flute (笛子). “Growing up I was always involved with music. My parents had divorced and I was under a lot of stress, and being around music, I felt peace and happiness. Later I came to realize that, as a music teach
24、er, I could give that gift to kids.”And shes an author. She wrote The Unexpected Adventure at East Haddam two years ago when Evens had a brother and a sister in her Chorus class who struggled with her relationship. Each one mostly the sister complained about the other to her. “And I hope the book wi
25、ll show them the importance of their education. Its so hard for teens to understand the value of what they study in school.”Shes keenly aware of the challenges todays youth face. “As a society, weve lowered our standards in many cases. As a kid I watched Happy Day and The Bill Cosby Show, and my par

Its hard for kids today because theyre not allowed the innocence we had.”Shes busy at work on her next book. Evens says writing these books has filled
27、 a place inside her that she never thought about, but that needed to be filled. “I enjoy the process so much. I feel challenged. And I am able to purge(净化) some thoughts that I would like to share, especially with kids.”“The most important thing for kids today to remember is that every person is val

While you stay in Lincoln College of English, _ will take care of you.A. the school where you study B. the family you have chosenC. your classmates D. your own parents(C)I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were
37、so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly (大
38、胆地) on their own, most of them are attempting to seize one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason fo
39、r thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out (创造出) a teenage
40、market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the ba
41、rrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who
42、 respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.72. This passage is meant to _.A. tell readers how to be popular among people around themB. suggest people how to understand and respect each otherC. encourage teenagers to learn to make their choices and decisionsD.

44、 at striking out boldly on their own74.

45、o their children when they do well in their testsD. to pay much attention to whether their children are popular75. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. advertisements are trying to help teenagers to find themselvesB. most teenagers are actually not rebelling at all in a real senseC. adverti
46、sements are always misleading in carving out a teenage marketD. most teenagers manage to become popular by dressing as they pleaseSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.

The most dangerous sportSurfing is one of the fastest developing sports in the world today. It used to be practiced by the ancient Polynesians, but since the 1960s an
48、yone and everyone can go surfing.76.Surfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sport, and many spend their time travelling around the planet in search of the perfect wave. Typically, the average surfer is a relaxed type of person: they say its something about the art of catching
49、waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed. Surfers greet each other by saying “Howzit?” (a bit like “Hows it going?”) and sometimes call each other “bru” or “brah” from the Hawaiian word for brother, “braddah”. British surfers travel in WV camper vans and look a bit like hippiest.77.Anywhere that has a coastline with big waves
