Tattoos（纹身）and body piercings（穿洞）have moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.

Kerstin Otto from Washington:

The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.

Erin from Indiana:

I think body piercing is cool. In most situations, you don’t really have to worry about it getting torn out. I go to Noblesville High School. I am a sophomore（that is the l0th grade）. Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent. I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I’ll look bad. But that is my personal opinion. I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference.

Tiara from Indiana:

I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.

Lee from Illinois:

Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.

Subotai from California:

I’m not prohibitive of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow’s.

Nagib from Washington:

I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.

Jackson from Ohio:

I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything —I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women.”

Brittney from New York:

You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantial（充实的）to find beauty in yourself.

56. Who is wholeheartedly lost in tattoos and piercing? _________

A. Tiara B. Erin C. Nagib. D. Lee. 57. We can conclude that ________.

A. tattoos and piercing are a new kind of elegant art

B. all the teachers in the West are in favor of tattoos and piercing C. everything is changeable with time going on

D. it is necessary to live with all different views of beauty 58. The best title for this passage is probably _________.

A. Body Art or Damage B. Damage to the Youth’s Body

B

New York State has passed the USA’s first state law banning motorists talking on hand-held cell phones. The ban will come into effect on November lst, although drivers caught using hand-held cell phones will be given only warnings during the first month.

First-time violators(违法者)will face a $100 fine. A second time call for a $200 fine and every violation after that will cost $500.

At least a dozen localities(地方)have established bans, starting in 1999;and 40 states have had bans proposed but not passed. At least 23 countries, including the Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones.

There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York State.

“To think that I’m not going to use cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop(膝上电脑), I still can read a paper, I can still change my trousers while driving 65 miles per hour. I think there’s just something wrong.” an official said.

Other critics(批评)noted that other things like eating, drinking coffee and applying to make up while driving caused at least as much of a concern. They suggested that the ban include a broader range of things.

59. How much fine will a hand-held cell phone user receive if he has been caught using it four

times while driving after November.__________

A.＄500. B.＄1000. C.＄1200. D.＄1300. 60. We can see from this passage that ____ . A. the ban has been put into effect in most states in the U.S.

B. many of the developed countries forbid drivers using hand-held cell phones C. over fifty localities or states ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones D. more people in the U.S. are against the ban than for it 61. The official mentioned in this passage _____ . A. does not agree with this ban

B. doesn't believe using hand-held cell phones while driving will cause any danger

C. doesn't understand why hand-held cell phones alone should be banned among many

others

D. believes changing pants while driving will cause greater danger 62. The writer intends to tell us in the last paragraph that ____ . A. it is not fair to have this ban passed

B. the ban will never be passed in the whole country

C. more activities or the same kind should also be banned D. the ban will meet with more criticism

C

We all know that everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men’s minds decline more than women’s, according to the results of a worldwide survey.

General differences seem to be natural in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel (擅长于) at recalling information from their brain’s files. Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.

Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.

Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they’re the ones that may not have shown such cognitive(认知的) decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.

Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words

C. Young People’s Different Curiosities

D. A Great Anxiety About Young People

in a particular category as possible in the given time, e.g. “object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men are usually good; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.

63. According to the passage, which of the following can NOT be typed into the same category?

A. cloud B. sheep C. trees D. goose

64. Which of the following statements is true according the article? _______

A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English. B. Women stand out at remembering people’s names. C. Women do well in dealing mathematic problems.

D. Men excel at typing as many words as possible in the given time.

65. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that ________.

A. women live longer than men B. people surveyed are all old

C. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline D. people taking part in this test came from all over the world 66. The author aims to tell us that _________.

A. women’s minds perform better than men’s B. men’s minds decline more with age

C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older D. a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently

D

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form--football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. 67. What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage? ________

A. Skiing and skating. B. Soccer and golf. C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering. 68. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.

A. it has man-made rules

B. it is too dangerous for climbers

C. it can’t bring people joy and leisure

D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods
