四、阅读理解（共13小题；每小题2分，满分26分）
A
I had been a step-mother for six years, and with my husband，I had watched his young children growing into teenagers. Although they lived mostly with their mother, they spent a lot of time with us. Over the years, we all learned to become more comfortable with each other. However, I continued to feel somewhat like an outsider.
When the children moved to a town five hours away, my husband was understandably destroyed. In order to keep in touch with the kids, we set up an e-mail and chat-line service.
Ironically (具有讽刺意义的是), this technology can make us feel out of touch and more in need of real human contact. If a computer message came addressed to "Dad", I'd feel forgotten. If my name appeared along with his, it would brighten my day. Yet always there was some distance to be crossed, not just over the telephone wires.
Late one evening, as my husband was snoozing (打盹), I was catching up on my e-mail, an "instant message" appeared on the screen. It was Margo, my oldest stepdaughter, also up late in front of her computer. We sent several messages back and forth, exchanging the latest news. When we "chatted" like that, she wouldn't necessarily know if it was me or her dad unless she asked. That night she didn't ask and I didn't tell her it was me either. After hearing the latest volleyball scores and the details about a coming dance at her school, I said that it was late and I should go to sleep. Her return message read, "Okay, talk to you later! Love you!"
At this, a wave of sadness ran through me and I realized that she must have thought she was writing to her father the whole time. She and I would never have openly exchange such words of love. Feeling guilty (内疚的) for not telling her the truth, yet not wanting to embarrass (使人尴尬) her, I simply replied, "Love you too! Have a good sleep!"
I thought again of their family circle and I felt again the sharp ache of emptiness and "otherness". Then, just as my fingers reached for the keys to return the screen to black, Margo's final message appeared. It read, "Tell Dad good night for me too." With tear-filled eyes, I turned the machine off.
61. Why was the author's husband ever understandably destroyed at first?
A. he couldn't see his children often. B. he had an unhappy marriage.
C. his children didn't like him any longer. D. he had got a kind of serious disease.
62. By saying "Yet always there was some distance to be crossed," the writer infers that ______.
A. their children lived in a town five hours away
B. their children had to talk to them on the phone
C. there was a generation gap between them
D. the relationship between them was not so close
63. The author thought that Margo must have mistaken her for her father because ______.
A. her father liked to chat about her activities
B. her father always stopped chatting like that
C. Margo never said goodbye to the author in this way
D. Margo never chatted with the author alone
64. From this passage, we can learn that a step-parent can ______.
A. never know the special relationship between a parent and a child
B. exchange e-mails and messages with step-children
C. be part of the "inner circle" of the family
D. never be liked by his or her step-children
65. How was the experience of the author as a stepmother that night?
A. Heart-warming. B. Full of sadness. C. Heart-breaking. D. Disappointing.
B
MANCHESTER, England - Here's some good news that vegetarians (素食者) can really sink their teeth into: Researchers in UMA Group have developed genetically (转基因地) engineered fruit trees that produce real meat!
Fruit from the new Meat Trees, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef!
"Our trees may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's really true," declares Dr. Vincent, director of the UMA Group, which created the amazing trees. "Vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a while. Now they can have their cake and eat it too."
Although it's taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. "We take the genes from cattle and put them into the cells (细胞) of grape-fruit trees,"Dr. Vincent says. "When the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead of ordinary fruit. You get the taste - even the smell."
Those who've tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. "I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree," says Londoner Mark, who took part in a taste-test. "But it was juicy and delicious ─ nothing leafy about it at all."
Meat Tree products could be on the market in Great Britain by the end of next year. Some vegetarians insist they should never eat meat - even if it grew on a tree. Others love the idea. "My mouth is watering already," says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years.
66. According to what Dr. Vincent said, we know that ______.
A. vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it later
B. the idea of Meat Trees came from a science fiction movie
C. vegetarians can eat meat from the new trees
D. vegetarians can taste and even smell fruit from Meat Trees
67. The passage tells us that ______.
A. Meat Tree products are sure to be popular with vegetarians
B. most vegetarians like the taste of fruit from Meat Trees
C. you can buy fruit from Meat Trees in the supermarket in Great Britain now
D. it's hard to tell fruit on Meat Trees from ordinary fruit without cutting in
68. In paragraph 5, the author took Mark for example to ______.
A. show he is one of the devoted vegetarians
B. prove the real taste of fruit from Meat Trees
C. tell how a vegetarian eats the new fruit
D. to explain how the taste-test is given
69. By writing this passage, the author wants to ______.
A. show readers a new achievement in gene technology
B. encourage people to eat fruit from Meat Trees
C. explain how meat is produced on trees
D. tell vegetarians good news about Meat Trees
C
I'm fat. I'm too skinny. I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs. Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image (形象) of yourself. Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence.
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you're very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it's no one's business but your own what your body is like-finally, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, find which aspects of your appearance you can change and which you can't change and need to accept-like their height, for example, or their shoe size.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a pan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.
When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes.
70. From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A. many teens can't accept their body change easily
B. most teens like to have a special body image
C. teens prefer to change their body image quickly
D. teens usually change their opinions on their body image
71. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Change the way other people look at you.
B. Go to your doctor for advice on how to change your body.
C. Realize you can't change everything about yourself.
D. Learn from some celebrities on how to change your body.
72. The underlined phrase "put yourself down" in the first paragraph probably means .
A. make yourself fall down B. say negative things about yourself
C. force yourself to do something D. write down your name somewhere
73．The passage is mainly about .
A. how to adjust to the changes of your body
B. how to build confidence by changing your body
C. how to keep an attractive body image
D. how to find pleasure in your day

参考范文
Modern technology has many advantages. While we enjoy the fun and convenience of the Internet, we also experience some new problems. This caricature describes one of them. It shows that the teenage boy is enjoying chatting online so much that he refuses to talk to his parent. I think it might be common, but it is totally unacceptable. Nothing can replace face-to-face communication no matter how easy or interesting it is for us to chat with people from across the world on the Internet.
In most Chinese families, there is only one child. Obviously, we are the centre of our parents' attention. Many parents are willing to do anything to make sure that we live a good life. It is understandable that they want to know what's happening to us, what kind of friends we make and how we are getting on with our studies.
As far as I'm concerned, we should let our parents know us well. For example, we can tell them what's going on in school when we have dinner or turn to them for advice when we have problems. In that way, I'm sure the relationship between us and our parents will become better and better.
