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

24、 rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them ae clutching at one anthers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same cloth

25、es. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same pop song. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for

26、 a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her won way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage 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 populari

27、ty 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 barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else

28、is collecting super-girls 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 respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.1. The author

29、s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _A. readers how to be popular with roundB. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other2. Which of the following is Not true according to the pas

30、sage?A. There is not popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own pathC. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they

31、 are actually doing the same.3. The author thinks of advertisements as _.A. convincing B. instructive C. influential D. authoritative4. During the teenage years, one should learn to _.A. differ from others in as many as ways possibleB. get into the right season and become popularC. find ones real se

32、lfD. rebel against parents and the popularity wavesBAre you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently - to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the senso

33、ry nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in actionMuscles are strongly bundles of fibers varying from one five thousandth of an inch to about three inches.

34、 They have three unique characteristics: they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a persons body is composed of

35、muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60-70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an a

36、verage woman cant lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.1. Intelligent use of the muscles means that _.A. one always knows what his muscles are doingB. one performs simple actions without workingC. Ones muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform

37、D. One improves muscular action consciously2, An average woman is weaker than an average man because she has_.A. more voluntary muscles than an average manB. Only 60-70 percent as much muscle for her body massC. 60 percent as much muscle for her body massD. less muscle fiber for her body weight3. Th

38、is passage implies that _.A. the muscular sense is more importantB. muscular sense involves automatic perceptionC. There are much more than 500 involuntary muscles in the bodyD. muscle tissue is inflexibleCBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive p

39、eople are happier and healthier, have better marriage and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs; even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive f

40、actor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. as have more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed

41、 not to ability but to factor such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Increasingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overmight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less

42、 to ability than was that of attractive overmignt successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female job

43、s, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of a

44、ttractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of woman, in the order of attractiveness. The students were then told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank then again. In the

45、 order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.1. The underlined word “l(fā)iability” probably means_.A. misfortune B. instability C. disadvantage D. burden

46、2. Bowmans experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_.A. turns out to be an obstacle to man B. affects men and women alikeC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to woman.3. It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on b

47、eauty are often_.A. practical b. prejudiced C. old-fashioned D. radical4. The author writes this passage to _.A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. emphasize the importance of appearanceD.The promise of f

48、inding long-term technological solutions to the problem of world food shortages seems difficult to fulfill. Many innovations that were once heavily supported and publicized. Such as fish-protein concentrates, have since fallen by the wayside. The proposals themselves were technically feasible, but t

49、hey proved to be economically unviable and to yield food products culturally unacceptable to their consumers.One characteristic common to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive government support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to

50、the people for whom they had been developed. A successful few technology, therefore, must fit the entire sociocultural system in which it is to find a place. Security of crop yield, practicality of storage, and costs are much more significant than had previously been realized by the advocates of new

51、 technologies.The adoption of new food technologies depends on more than these technical and cultural considerations; economic factors and governmental policies also strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation. Economists in the Anglo-American tradition have taken the lead in investiga

52、ting the economics of technological innovation. Although they exaggerate in claiming that profitability is the key factor guiding technical change-they completely disregard the substantial effects of culture- they are correct in stressing the importance of profits. Most technological innovations in

53、agriculture can be fully used only by large landowners and are only adopted if these profit-oriented business people believe that the innovation will increase their even if they harm segments of the population and reduce the availability of food in a country. Further, should a new technology promise

54、 to alter substantially the profits and losses associated with any production system, those with economic power will strive to maintain and improve their own positions. Therefore, although technical advances in food production and processing will perhaps be needed to ensure food availability, meetin

55、g food needs will depend much more on equalizing economic power among the various segments of the populations within the developing countries themselves.1. The passage mentions all of the following as factors important to the success of a new food crop except the _.A. practicality of storage of the

56、crop B. security of the crop yieldC. quality of the crops protein D. cultural acceptability of the crop2. The author suggests that, in most developing countries, extensive government intervention accompany annoying the introduction of a food innovation will _.A. usually be sufficient to guarantee the financial success of the innovationB. be necessary to ensure that the benefits of the innovation will be spread throughout the society.C. normally occur only when the innovation favors large landownersD. generally cost the country more than will be earned by the innovation3.
