1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Young people and old people can hardly avoid having disagreements. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one program in New York, 1. the adults(成年人) and the teenagers learn to live together in a friendly way.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults are invited to join the program. They live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works for seven hours a day. They do so not only to keep busy, but also to find meaning and happiness in work. Some teenagers work in the forest or on the farm near the village. Some of them learn to make things like tables, chairs or something similar (类似的) and to build houses.2. 成年人教他们怎么做好这些累人的事情。

There are a few free hours each day and weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn to take photos or paint pictures. Others sit, around and talk, sing or dance. On weekends, 3. each teenager who is allowed to relax himself has his own way to spend his free time. 4. When people live in the same community, making rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “What should we do about it?”

One teenager talks about his experience(经历), “You won't think only about yourself anymore. Instead, 5.你会尽全力以某种方式支持你的团队。”

24、We all need to eat. So, meals could be a chance to stop what we’re doing and spend time with the people in our lives. But from time to time, we have to eat alone. Of course, eating alone at home or at a restaurant can be a very satisfying experience. However, could eating too many meals alone be bad for our health or affect(影响) our future success?

A recent study shows that often eating alone may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. The study also found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other illnesses.

For children, those who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to cut class according to the study. These children were also reported to be physically in better shape and drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Researchers say that teenagers who often have family dinner feel closer to their parents. Mealtimes shared with parents provide children with concerns from their parents. So they seemed to have better communication with others.

If you find too many of your mealtimes to be lonely events, experts suggest making small changes. You can try to make room for at least one shared meal a week. And keep it simple even if dinner is a salad and a sandwich, it is still time for a family to be together. If mornings are less busy than evenings, start by making your shared meal. If you work in an office, step out with a co-worker(同事) once in a while or simply share a cup of coffee with a friend.

【1】What does a recent study show?

A．Eating alone can bring you pressure.

B．Eating alone can be a very satisfying experience.

C．You may have poor food choices if you often eat alone.

D．If you never eat alone, you will not have a risk of getting ill.

【2】What does the underlined word “concerns” mean?

A．efforts

B．influences

C．attentions

D．arguments

【3】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Children who often eat with their families are in better health.

B．Parents and children have a better relationship if they often eat together.

C．Children who share a main meal with their families behave better at school.

D．Teenagers who don’t often have family meals drink fewer sugary soft drinks.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Eating too many meals alone could be bad.

B．Why people often have to eat by themselves.

C．What experts think of people’s eating habits.

D．How important family meals are.

25、阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.

In Western society，especially in the English﹣speaking world，the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important．Many young people，when they finish school at the age of 18，take a gap yearbefore they go to university．

Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school．Although they are worried about their safety，many think that the advantages of independenceand experience are worth the worries．Children are encouraged to be brave，independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends．

Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side．This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life．For example，if they have a rich life，they may want to see how people in poor areas live．

So much of the world has been travelled and explored．The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences．Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting．Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand，helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well（井） in a village in Africa．

These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of．Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind．

26、Have You Planned Three Things to Do Before You Are 18?

I know most of us have a long way to reach an adult. At present, are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18，because after that it’s too late.

Learn to swim

Seriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well，you won’t be able to do water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.

Try at least one kind of team sports

Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself，but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.

Collect something

One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps，or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done，like cinema tickets for films you have seen or emails from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.

【1】The most important reason for learning to swim is that ______.

A. you might feel well

B. it can make you healthy

C. you might easily do lots of things

D. it can save your life

【2】 The underlined sentence “a good social life” in the passage means ______.

D. you’ll work in the society

【3】 The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ______.

A. collect something

B. do some water sports

C. camp out in the garden

D. send emails to your friends

27、   We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap and so on. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we cannot always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can’t help doubting “Are our efforts in vain?” The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured(测量)by how many goals we've reached, but how we acted, which means, process is also important.

Here is an example. Fruits are delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear them. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destructions(故意的破坏) from human beings, So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a goal, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is the failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own.

I myself deeply believe that only those who experienced a lot can own the highly-valued characters, and that only those who adventured(冒险) can have the chance to succeed. It is said “No pain, no gain.” We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫)to take an adventure?

Young men, let’s forget results, leave out pain, and just look forward and don’t miss any chance on the journey!

【1】Reaching our goals will make us________.

A.laugh at others B.feel pleased C.set another goal

【2】The underlined phrase “in vain” in the first paragraph means “________”.

A.值得 B.益处 C.徒劳

【3】The writer gives an example of fruits in order to say________.

A.no pain, no gain B.we should grow trees to get good fruits C.it's hard for a tree to bear fruits

【4】Only those who________will get really good characters.

A.have gone through a lot B.believe in themselves C.believe that things will better

【5】The best title for the passage is “________”.

A.Failure Is the Mother of Success B.Process Is Also Important C.Don't Doubt Yourself

28、   Like most Chinese, Mr. Zhang has a traditional family.【1】he and his wife are middle school teachers while their 6-year-old son is a pupil. Mr. Zhang's mother lives with them and helps look【2】the kid. They love one another and live【3】happy life.

Yesterday was Mr. Zhang's mother's birthday. The couple wanted to do something to【4】their love for her, After a big dinner, Mr. Zhang brought a basin of warm water and asked his mother to sit in front of the basin. He took off her shoes and put her【5】into the water. After that he began to wash them carefully. His wife helped to comb his mother's hair slowly. Seeing this, the boy【6】his mother's example. He tried to comb his mother's hair, too. But he was not tall 【7】to do that. So he brought a chair and stood on it. Everyone could feel the warmth and love in the family.

【8】we all know, respecting the old and taking care of the young is a good Chinese tradition. We should try【9】best to care for our family, We must visit our parents as often as possible and【10】time with them even though we may work far away. Indeed, family is a place for happiness.
