Our visits last about an hour, playing board games and cards with the residents 11 we're there. You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about "life back then", but nothing 12 with talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has 13 me in a way never thought possible. Whether it was talking to 98-year-old "Hurricane Hilda" about her glory days 14 a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely impressed by every single 15 the residents wanted to share with me. Even the residents who don't have 16 memories make the experience fulfilling. I remember visiting Mrs. Robinson. She couldn't 17 much about her past, but she told me she'd 18 forget how kind I was just to listen to her "rambling (漫谈)". It made me realize that it's the 19 things that make life worth living. That's something I won't 20 anytime. If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it's that 21 - just being there-means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how 22 our lives are, there's always time to make them happy. For me, it feels great to be a 23 of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a(n) 24 for old memories. And at the end of the day, that's all that 25 . It's easy to feel like you don't have much in common with the 26 -especially, when you're a(n) 27 . But that's not tree at all. I hate to make much comment here, but age really is just a(n) 28 . As young adults, it's important for us to realize this sooner 29 later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often 30 from teenagers, too. 11. A. until B. unless C. as D. while12. A. compares B. competes C. combines D. connects13. A. touched B. reached C. captured D. disgusted14. A. like B. as C. about D. towards15. A. imagination B. troth C. picture D. memory16. A. suffering B. depressing C. amazing D. longing17. A. concern B. describe C. recall D. mention18. A. ever B. always C. even D. never19. A. important B. little C. major D. sweet20. A. care B. skip C. believe D. forget21. A. presence B. appearance C. companion D. protection22. A. messy B. happy C. easy D. busy23. A. trend B. chance C. source D. cause24. A. mind B. ear C. tongue D. heart25. A. matters B. favors C. differs D. exists26. A. friendly B. lively C. lonely D. elderly27. A. adult B. teenager C. adolescent D. waiter28. A. amount B. difference C. advantage D. number29. A. or else B. rather than C. other than D. except for30. A. hear B. differ C. judge D. benefit第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节 阅读理解：（每小题2分）A Meryl Streep is an American actress who has worked in theatre, television and film.

B The singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times. I've always complained about the quote (引语 ). Although over time I have told myself to learn from it. This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school. The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job. I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mum had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles (旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mum that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person. I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. 35. The author's parents often told him the saying quoted from the song because_.

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son:suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut," Joanna noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which." Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list," said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years," Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break,for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend ,not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. 39. "The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son_. A. keeps himself away from his parents B. is angry with his parents C. begins to dislike his parents D. is always busy with his studies40. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that_. A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before B. their daughter has grown up so quickly C. they don't know what to say to their daughter D. they can't read their daughter's mind exactly41.

Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. D. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.42. What can be learned from the passage? A. Parents should try to understand their teenagers. B. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. C. Parents should force their children to talk with them. D. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.D Eating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger, the U.S. researchers said on Monday. Previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that control how much we eat. In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal-weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects. In the new study, a group of normal-weight subjects and a group of overweight or obese subjects were asked to consume two meals in a controlled environment. All subjects ate one meal slowly, took small bites, chewed thoroughly, and paused and put the spoon down between bites, and ate a second meal qu. ickly, took large bites, chewed quickly, and did not pause and put the spoon down. At the conclusion of the study, the researchers found only normal-weight subjects had a statistically sign
