Unit2 Growing pains-Welcome to the unit测试满分：80分 时间：35分钟一、背景材料导读 A. Growing up is hard enough. The streets don’t make it any easier. A kid needs a place to grow besides the street. And next to home, there’s no place like a Boys Club where a kids finds out just what it needs to get the job done, and what it needs to get a job. That’s why we teach kids computer skills, give them vocational training even help them choose college and career goals. You see, a Boys Club really is more than just a club. It’s a pool, a friend, a school, a team. It’s a place where a kid connects with the bright future. No wonder over 1,100,000 kids keep coming to 1,100 Boys Clubs all across America. Let’s face it. Beating the streets isn’t easy. But with the help of a strong Boys Club, a kid can have a chance to succeed through efforts. 1. Which of the following sentence is TRUE? A.

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不舒服) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to(倾向)forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. Young people often make their parents angry about their choices in clothes, in entertainment(娱乐) and in music. But they do not mean to cause trouble; it is just what they feel to cut off from the older people’s world into which they have not been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like the music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people very happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “Yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. But if you plan to control(控制) your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility(责任感), they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. 6. This article is particularly written for________. A. parents B. both parents and their children C. young people D. educators 7. According to the text, young people tend to ______. A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything B. do things without thinking carefully ahead C. be very strict with themselves D. think in the same way as their parents do. 8.

B. do everything the way his parents do C. do everything under his parents’ control D. do everything with his own duty C Children have their own rules in playing games. They don’t need referee(裁判) and don’t have trouble keeping scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. However, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities can’t be directly compared. They also enjoy games that moves in stages(阶段), in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the deciding of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled (迷惑不解) at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, (自信的)too, in some games, that it is his place to give orders, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he had caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win. 11. What is true about children when they play games? A. They can stop playing any time they like B.

The write believes that ________. A. children should make better rules for their games B. children should invite grown ups to play with them C. children’s games can do them a lot of good D. children play games without reasons. D I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “ But the desk,” she had said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived on the surface(表面). As years passed and I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answers. None came. My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I could not be sure that the letter had even got to my mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone that she was not. Now the present of her desk told me, as she had never been able to , that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. 16. What’s the best of the passage? A. My letter to mother B.

The word “gulf” in the passage means________. A. deep understanding between the old and the young B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter C. free talks between the mother and the daughter D. part of the sea going far in land 20.
