14、ges in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 Concerning money o
15、r anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence , they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without p
16、arental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the pa
17、rents consider proper and constructive. But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work
18、, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers
19、 are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into “solid citizens“ who fulfill most of their parents expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap“ is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents val
20、ues and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well. 16 According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect_. （ A） feeling of hatred （ B） power struggle （ C） that they dont care for each other （ D） that they may appeal to divorce 17 As child

24、 neighbors （ B） parent-training courses （ C） books （ D） lectures 20 The annual campaign to make Singapores three million people more polite ended yesterday and was immediately followed by another drive to get them to be punctual. Tardiness is not yet a criminal offence in the island republic, and th
25、e National Punctuality Working Committee can only use gentle persuasion. “Being on time means being considerate,“ said committee chairman Toh Weng Cheng. Previous drives made little headway in changing a deeply rooted habit that seems oddly out of place in this otherwise efficient city-state. Tardin
26、ess at dinner parties is usually attributed to Chinese tradition, a belief that older and more important guests were expected to make an entrance after the others. Meanwhile, officials will assess the results of the 15th annual courtesy (礼貌 ) campaign, a HK $2.4 million drive to persuade Singaporean
27、s to mind their manners. Earlier courtesy campaigns used posters, films, advertisements in newspapers and magazines to portray considerate behavior. The publicity this year stressed courtesy through examples of discourtesy. Few countries use elaborate public campaigns to change behavior and raise ci
28、vic consciousness. It has been a way of life in Singapore for more than 30 years. Some, like the courtesy drive, deal with basic habits and culture. October was first declared “Speak Mandarin Month“ in 1978, an effort to wipe out regional Chinese dialects in favor of the official tongue. Others focu
29、s on problems of the day. The police launched a drive in 1989 to stop abuse of the emergency phone number 999, because one call in five was of the nuisance or non-emergency variety. Some campaigns have been so successful that they have been reversed. Family planners urged parents to “Stop at Two“ in
30、 1978. Birth rates dropped from 3. 5 percent in 1960 to 1. 2 percent in 1980, and families who can afford it are now encouraged to “Have Three or More“. By the early 1980s, the growth of campaigns inspired one exhausted newspaper columnist to suggest a “ take your campaigns seriously campaign“. 21 I
31、n the passage, the word “tardiness“ ( Line 1, Paragraph 2) most probably means_. （ A） punctuality （ B） impoliteness （ C） dishonesty （ D） lateness 22 The courtesy drive was launched in Singapore to_. （ A） develop appropriate personal habits （ B） stress the importance of punctuality （ C） make the peop

34、（ B） There are too many campaigns in Singapore. （ C） The more campaigns, the more efficient they are. （ D） Almost all campaigns in Singapore dont amount to anything. 25 How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how
35、 long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone. The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wirele
36、ss connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right ( dont forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure youre brushing long enough. “Its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,“ says Thomas Serval, the French inventor. The toothbrush wi
37、ll also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “ We try to make it smart but also fun,“ Several says. Serval says he was inspired by his experie
38、nce as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes“ , but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed. The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summ
39、er, for $ 99 to $ 199, developing on features. The U. S. is the first target market. Serval says that one day, itll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush. 26 Which is one of the feat
40、ures of the Kolibree toothbrush? （ A） It can sense how users brush their teeth. （ B） It can track users school performance. （ C） It can detect users fear of seeing a dentist. （ D） It can help users find their phones. 27 What can we learn from Servals words in Paragraph 3? （ A） You will find it enjoy

42、date mobile phones. （ B） It can be used to play mobile phone games. （ C） It can send messages to other users. （ D） It can talk to its developers. 29 What can we infer about Servas children? （ A） They were unwilling to brush their teeth. （ B） They often failed to clean their toothbrushes. （ C） They p
43、referred to use a toothbrush with a dry head. （ D） They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home. 30 What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree? （ A） The brush handle will be removed. （ B） A mobile phone will be built into it. （ C） It will be used to fill holes in teeth.
44、 （ D） It will be able to check users teeth. 30 The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting (插入 )flexible needles (针 )into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in
45、a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them. To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows whe
46、re to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body
47、. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles. Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist (手腕 ), for example, would prevent the pain in
48、the area of the mouth. A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas (然而，反之 )
49、 the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day. 31 Acupuncture can be defined as_. （ A） a medical technique （ B） a medical needle （ C） a medical operation （ D） a medical machine 32 All the statements are true about the performer of acupuncture EXCEPT“_“. （ A） He knows where the operation is to be performed. （ B） He knows where to place the needles without pain. （ C） He knows how to use the needle
