21、singly AC. rebellion AD. different BC. human BD. positive CD. endlessThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the_41_ of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room aft
22、er_42_ family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes_43_ shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “Theyre expe
23、cted to be rebellious and selfish but_44_ they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-
24、making_45_ . They dont want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. Maybe this _46_ view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage _47_ is not rooted in r
25、eal facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as _48_beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents_49_ only happened during that on
26、e time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.” III. Reading ComprehensionSection ASometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy try
27、ing to earn money to cover living 50 . They dont act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even more out of the question. 51 . my father has a bad temper. When hes
28、very tired from hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temperOne day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.“What?” she replied, still doing her work.“Is there 52 between you and Dad?” I asked her
29、in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her 53 with surprise in her eyes. She didnt answer immediately. 54 , she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.I was very upset because I thought I had hurt her. I looked at her in 55 and didnt know what to do. But at last I heard my
30、mother say gently “Susan, look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of time it disappearsin the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can 56 be seen anywhere or anytime, but its really there. Love is 57 .I listened carefully b
31、ut I couldnt understand her until the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 58 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in
32、the morning and dusk, my mother would help my father walk slowly on the country road, along which there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 59 in
33、 two months. But after two months he still couldnt walk 60 . All of us were worried about him.“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, dont worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like 61 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 62 his eyes, I know he love
34、s my mother deeply.63 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. _64 from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.

37、But C. Or D. ForSection B ANeil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82. Many people paid tribute to the former astronaut. But other people feel regret that no human has been back to the moon since 1972, just three years after Armstrong landed on it and gave his famou
38、s “giant leap for mankind” speech.Elliot Pulham, Chief Executive of the Space Foundation, thinks that Americas space agency NASA should get more money, like in the 1960s, during the moon landings programme, when astronauts went to the moon. “In this age of limited goals and tiny NASA budgets, Armstr
39、ong is a reminder of what our nation was once capable of,” he said. Armstrong died because of heart problems after surgery. His recovery seemed to be going well, and his death was a surprise to many people. His family described him as a “reluctant American hero” and said: “Honour his example of serv
40、ice, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”Speaking from the White House, Barack Obama said Armstrong was “among the greatest of American heroes not just of his time, but of all time”. He added: “And whe
41、n Neil stepped on the moon for the first time, it was a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten.”Buzz Aldrin flew with Armstrong on Apollo 11. He was the second man to walk on the moon. He said he was very sad at the death of his good friend and companion.“When I look at the moon I
42、remember that special moment, over forty years ago, when Neil and I stood on the moon,” he said. “Looking back at our brilliant blue planet Earth hanging in the darkness of space, I realized that even though we were farther away from Earth than two humans had ever been, we were not alone. Almost the
43、 entire world took that memorable journey with us. I know many millions of people around the world will join me in mourning the death of a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew. My friend Neil took the small step but giant leap that changed the world and will always be remembered as a hi
44、storic moment in human history.”In the US, people felt that he represented the achievement of a past age of American greatness. Today, things are very different: NASA has cancelled a number of missions because they dont have enough money.Former astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last man on the moon, said
45、: “Neil did something that people thought was impossible.” Others complained about the state of the US. Journalist Andrew Pasternak wrote: “It will take longer to rebuild lower Manhattan after 9/11 than it took to build an entire space program and send a man to the moon.”Of course, NASA has its mode
46、rn successes. Its engineers have landed a nuclear-powered robot on Mars. There will also be another Mars mission. It will drill below the planets surface. But these achievements are not as exciting as Armstrongs. NASA administrator Charles Bolden expressed that in his tribute. “As we enter this next
47、 era of space exploration, we are standing on the shoulders of Neil Armstrong,” he said. Armstrong was disappointed by what NASA has become. Blogger Eric Berger saw an email from Armstrong and other former astronauts. It expressed frustration at the current problems at NASA and quoted Yogi Berra, an American baseball legend: “If you dont know where you are going, you might not get there.”65. Why is Neil Armstrongs death described as a surprise to many? Because_.A. he was relatively youngB. it was believed he was recovering well from bypass surgeryC. he was a larger-than-life reminder
