At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.

37、 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 (大膽地) on their own, most of them are attempting to seize one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dre

38、ss 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 for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蠶繭) in

39、to 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 (創(chuàng)造出) a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of t

40、odays 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 barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collec

41、ting 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.72. This passage is meant to _. A.

45、opular75. It can be inferred from the passage that _.

47、waveE. Where surfers come fromF. 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 anyone and everyone can go surfing.76.Surfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sp

48、ort, 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 waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed. Surfers greet each other by say

49、ing “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 is home to surfers. Half of Australias coastl

50、ine is surfable so there are lots of Australian surfers. Hawaii is where the sport was invented and the current champion is Hawaiian Sunny Garcia. A lot of surfers also come from California and New Zealand. There are even surfers in the UK who hang out on the southwest coast where the Atlantic waves

51、 hit the shore.78.Get a board. Most surfers start on short boards. Long boards and guns are only for experienced surfers catching huge waves. You also have to be a very strong swimmer: being able to swim at least 100 meters, and 25 meters underwater is required.79.Beach breaks are waves which fall o

52、nto sand. They can be big, but are best if you are a beginner. Waves vary in size during different seasons and even at different times of the day, so watch out! Surfing can be dangerous and you need advice from someone experienced. More experienced surfers catch waves at point and reef breaks. They

53、are away from the coast, and the swell comes deep from the ocean. Point breaks are waves bent because of the shape of the land beneath the ocean, and reef breaks are shaped by coral and rocks.80.Surfing is a dangerous sport if you arent a strong swimmer or if you try to do too much. The main thing m

54、ost surfers have to worry about is their own board or other surfers boards. Great white sharks, stingrays and deadly jellyfish are also not friendly to surfers, but actually running into one of these is quite rare.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete

55、 the statements in the no more than 10 words.Reading to oneself is a modern activity that was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval（中世紀的）worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during nineteenth century did silent rea

56、ding become common-place.One should be careful, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners dec
