so many girls were dieting to death.”‎ However,the efforts to regulate models,weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.‎ Still,folks including Ice say there，s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with.“Certainly I don’t believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,” she says.“It’s a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”‎ ‎25.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is .‎ A.to change the working conditions of models B.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders C.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness D.to lower the chance of skinny models’ death ‎26.In the opinion of the critics,the law won’t succeed because .‎ A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.‎ B.the fashion industry is much too influential.‎ C.it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.‎ D.it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.‎ ‎27.What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?‎ A.Being interviewed by a reporter. B.Establishing his fashion model ‎ agent.‎ C.Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model. D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.‎ ‎28.According to the passage,the new Israeli law banning skinny models is .‎ A.practical B.reasonable C.acceptable D.argumentative C STAY INFORMED WITH CITIZENS’ BANK!‎ Are you a busy person who likes to stay on top of your finances? Then why do you waste your time constantly checking your bank account? Citizens' Bank now offers a new service for you.‎ With our new Automated Alert Service,Citizens’ Bank account holders can have important account information sent directly to their cell phone or email address.The type of information you’ll receive is up to you：‎ ‎•Be informed when your account balance drops below a certain level.‎ ‎•Receive notification (通知) when a specific check clears.‎ ‎•Find out instantly whenever a withdrawal is made.‎ With Automated Alerts,staying on top of your banking will be a lot easier.For more information,contact us at aas@citizensbank.net or drop by your nearest branch.‎ From: Robert Renfield robertyaho@nemo.com ‎ To: Citizens' Bank aas@citizensbank.net ‎ Subject: An Inquiry of the Alert Service ‎ Good afternoon,‎ I am writing to request more information on your new Automated Alert Service,as advertised on your Website.I have had both personal and commercial accounts with Citizens' Bank for many years.Often,I find it necessary to move money between accounts.Because of this,it is vital that I keep a close eye on the cash flow of all of my accounts,to assure that their balances stay above the required minimums.Therefore,I have been searching for an economical means of keeping better track of my finances.I was considering purchasing software for this purpose,but I think that your new service might be a convenient alternative.‎ My first question concerns the timeliness of the notifications.When you say “instantly,” does that relate only to banking hours? For example,if my wife were to use our debit card (借记卡) on a Sunday afternoon to make a transfer (转账) at an ATM,would I be informed via email instantly or on Monday morning? My second question is in ‎ regard to the information available in this service.Is it possible to be aware of any information in my monthly bank statement,such as interest on my savings account? Finally,I would like to know the cost of this service.‎ Please send me this information as soon as possible.If necessary,you can contact me in the evenings at 225-782-0902.‎ R.Renfield ‎ ‎29.What is Citizens’ Bank advertising?‎ A.A kind of checking account.‎ B.A way to bank over the phone.‎ C.A free hotline for new customers.‎ D.A service for account holders.‎ ‎30.What is Mr.Renfield’s relation to Citizens’ Bank?‎ A.He has had accounts with it for many years.‎ B.He is a member of its board of directors.‎ C.He recently opened a new account with it.‎ D.He used its Automated Alert Service.‎ ‎31.Which of the following will be most important for Mr.Renfield?‎ A.Receiving information directly on his cell phone.‎ B.Knowing when his balances drop to a certain level.‎ C.Being informed when a specific check clears.‎ D.Having his monthly bank statement sent to him.‎ D For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?‎ Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents’ point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely. Both feel trapped.‎ In this article,I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrel on ‎ unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen’s hair,the cleanness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn’t matter what the topic is--politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg--the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority--someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.‎ ‎32.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?‎ A.Both can continue for generations.‎ B.Both are about where to draw the line.‎ C.Neither has any clear winner.‎ D.Neither can be put to an end.‎ ‎33.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.‎ B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.‎ C.The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.‎ D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.‎ ‎34.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to .‎ A.give orders to the other B.know more than the other C.gain respect from the other D.get the other to behave properly ‎35.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?‎ A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts B.Examples of the parent-teen war C.Solutions for the parent-teen problems D.Future of the parent-teen relationship 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do ‎ you try to slip in without being noticed? 36.‎ In life,we admire those who do their tasks confidently.We prefer people who appear to know what they are doing.But where does that confidence begin?‎ Developing self-confidence starts very early.Ifs parents’ role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people.37.That can be done by focusing on the child’s strengths.Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks.When children make mistakes,their parents should still let them know that they are loved.Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults.38 So what’s the solution?‎ With most things in life,practice makes perfect,and that is true of confidence skills.39.‎ Always hold your head high and look people in the eye.Answer questions clearly and confidently.‎ Focus on the things that you do well,and look for opportunities to use those abilities.‎ Prepare thoroughly for every project.You’ll approach the task more confidently knowing that you are ready.‎ ‎ 40.It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest.Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.‎ However,all humans fail at times,and you will too.Even with efforts to try all the above,you will never be perfect.But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.‎ A.Keep in mind an item that reminds you of a recent success.‎ B.The more you practice them,the easier they will become.‎ C.The way you go into new situations show your level of self-confidence.‎ D.Our goal is to prepare students to go into the world with confidence.‎ E.To help that process,parents should always offer more praise than criticism.‎ F.Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.‎ G.But self-confidence still doesn’t come easily.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共2节；满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项。‎ I recently overheard something that surprised me.I heard that people who win the lottery (彩票) are 41 for about 3 weeks.And then they go back to their 42 state of being before they won the money.I 43 that they would have been happy for a much longer time.‎ The reason for this is that 44 we try to change how we feel by using something outside of ourselves，like winning the lottery,or getting a new car or house,it never 45.The resulting feelings of happiness are often fleeting (飞逝的).We cannot 46 them for very long.In some way,it may be a good thing.It reminds us that happiness really does come from within and is 47 to us at any moment.True happiness has 48 to do with what is happening outside; it is an inside job.Happiness is a 49.‎ We can make the decision to be happy for one day,when we 50 in the morning,every morning.We can find something that brings us great 51，like sitting outside in the garden under an old tree and 52 the birds sing,or watching the dog or cat play,and just 53 the moment.It is our 54 state and we need only allow it in.At any moment, we can 55,take a deep breath,and remember who we really are,and why we came here,and that truly is to 56 joy and the aliveness of being.‎ ‎“Happiness is like a butterfly which,when run after,is always 57 our reach,but,if you will sit down 58,may fall upon you,55 said Nathaniel Hawthorne,an American novelist.So,today,no matter what is going on in your own 59,stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply and just 60 to be happy,whatever that means to you.‎ ‎41.A.clever B.lucky C.happy D.cautious ‎42.A.previous B.unusual C.constant D.positive ‎43.A.concluded B.suspected C.promised D.thought ‎44.A.anyhow B.anytime C.anywhere D.anyway ‎45.A.changes B.forms C.works D.appears ‎46.A.keep B.control C.blame D.guide ‎47.A.available B.consistent C.sensitive D.similar ‎48.A.much B.little C.some D.enough ‎49.A.choice B.chance C.result D.reward ‎50.A.wake up B.look up C.turn up D.stand up ‎51.A.success B.surprise C.pleasure D.worry ‎52.A.making B.helping C.listening to D.calling on ‎53.A.waste B.spend C.save D.enjoy ‎54.A.natural B.common C.accurate D.special ‎55.A.stay B.stop C.leave D.arrive ‎56.A.discover B.present C.experience D.accept ‎57.A.beyond B.within C.through D.against ‎58.A.noisily B.silently C.carefully D.quietly ‎59.A.mind B.heart C.life D.body ‎60.A.pretend B.decide C.agree D.hesitate 第II卷 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 ‎ Have you complained 61 your family,your boss,or even your life?
