Why is it that many teenagers have the energy to play computer games until late at night but can't find
the energy to get out of bed in time for school? According to a new report, today's generation of children
are in danger of getting so (34) ___________sleep that they are putting their mental and physical health at
risk. Adults can easily survive on seven to eight hours' sleep a night, (35) ___________teenagers require
nine or ten hours. According to medical experts, one in five youngsters gets anything between two and
five hours' sleep a night less than their parents did at their age.
This raises serious questions about whether lack of sleep is affecting children's ability to concentrate at
school. The connection between sleep deprivation and lapses in memory, impaired reaction time and poor
concentration is well (36) ___________Research has shown that losing as little as half an hour's sleep a
night can have profound ef fects on how children perform the next day. A good night's sleep is also
crucial for teenagers because it is while they are asleep (37)___________they release a hormone that is
(38)__________ for their 'growth spurt' (the period during teenage years when the body grows at a rapid

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
In most families, conflict is more likely to be about clothing, music, and leisure time than about
more serious matters such as religion and core values. Family conflict is rarely about such major issues as
adolescents' drug use and delinquency. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that in about 5 million
American families (roughly 20 percent), parents and adolescents engage in intense, prolonged, unhealthy
conflict. In its most serious form, this highly stressful environment is associated with a number of
negative outcomes, including juvenile delinquency, moving away from home, increased school dropout
rates, unplanned pregnancy, membership in religious cults, and drug abuse (Steinberg & Morris, 2001).
Many of the changes that define adolescence can lead to conflict in parent- adolescent relationships.

3
Adolescents gain an increased capacity for logical reasoning, which leads them to demand reasons
for things they previously accepted without question, and the chance to argue the other side
(Maccoby,1984). Their growing critical-thinking skills make them less likely to conform to parents'
wishes the way they did in childhood. Their increasing cognitive sophistication and sense of
idealism may compel them to point out logical flaws and inconsistencies in parents' positions and
actions. Adolescents no longer accept their parents as unquestioned authorities. They recognize that
other opinions also have merit and they are learning how to form and state their own opinions.
Adolescents also tend toward ego-centrism, and may, as a result, be ultra-sensitive to a parent's
casual remark. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence may make it difficult for parents
to rely on their children's preadolescent behavior to predict future behavior. For example,
adolescent children who were compliant in the past may become less willing to cooperate without
what they feel is a satisfactory explanation.
Question 39: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence.
B. How to solve conflict in family.
C. The conflict in parent-adolescent relationship.
D. A satisfactory explanation for family conflict.
Question 40: According to the passage, what is probably TRUE about the conflict often arising in a
family?
A. adolescents’ drug use and delinquency B. clothing, leisure time and music
C. religion and core values D. children‘s behavior
Question 41: The word “unplanned” the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________?
A. unintended B. designed C. developed D. shaped
Question 42: Adolescents become less likely to comfort to parents' wishes the way they did in the
past because ________.
A. the environment is highly stressful B. their critical-thinking skills is growing
C. it is related to drug abuse D. parent-adolescent relationships lead to conflicts
Question 43: According to the passage, the word “it” may refer to ________.
A. remark B. adolescent C. ego-centrism D. None of the above
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different
from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of
animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in
the rainforest, but sometimes you don‘t know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that
rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are
found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South
America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The
second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America,
Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs
of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's
fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of
animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first
grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate,
coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are
sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight
and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are
destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every
second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear
land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates
many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less
oxygen for the world.
Question 44: What is the author's purpose in the passage?
4
A. To provide factual information about tropical rainforests for readers.
B. To prove that rainforests are indispensable in our lives.
C. To explain why people have destroyed a large area of tropical rainforests.
D. To prevent people from damaging tropical rainforests.
Question 45: Why don't people know it‘s raining in the rainforests?
A. Because the trees grow very tall there.
B. Because they are the habitats of millions of flora and fauna.
C. Because the branches are too dense for the rain to touch the ground.
D. Because it hardly rains in the rainforests.
Question 46: The word “humid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________
A. dry B. moist C. cloudy D. overwhelmed
Question 47: The word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to ___________.
A. plants B. the drugs C. rainforests
D. pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar
Question 48: The word “countless” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ___________.
A. trivial B. meaningless C. numberless D. derisive
Question 49: The following are the facts about rainforests, EXCEPT ___________.
A. The only places to see rainforests are in tropical zones.
B. The rainforest in Western Africa ranks second after the Amazon in South America in the covered area.
C. Rainforests account for about one sixth of the Earth's surface.
D. There’s a considerable variety of plants and animals in the rainforests.
Question 50: What can be inferred from the last passage?
A. People are not aware of the significance of the rainforests.
B. The consequences of deforestation are greater than what people can imagine.
C. The more rainforests are destroyed, the harder people's life will become.
D. People’s economic benefits are more important than environmental problems.
