C.free of

D.throw away

A、because they don't have what they actually want

B、no beautiful young ladies showed up

C、steamed fish with all the little bones left in

D、too many children making noises

听力原文： All right! Enough cookies, cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days.Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy, and other processed food, and they want to be like their heroes. How do they do it？ They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye the sailor, who ate spinach and not French fries.

Just because I like brown rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, I don't expect my children to cat this "health food." I'm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potato for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hot dogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look good. Besides the meat, they had sugar filled cookies and cake, and, of course, chips. Terrible! I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and I'm sure that it's because I'm vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food.

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away, from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems .that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance （放心）。

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon （茧） into a larger cocoon.

（80） It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come —— with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.

11. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell ．

A. readers how to he popular with people around

B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each oth~

They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.

All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.

You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.

A.readers how to be popular with people around

B.teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves

C.parents how to control and guide their children

D.people how to understand and respect each other

第三节 短文理解2

阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。

Being away from their families during the holidays is one of the hardest things for most soldiers stationed(驻扎) far away.

Serena Ravenell, 35, has been stationed in Texas and misses her family back home in South Carolina. "I have a 5-year-old son and a daughter who just turned 2 years old. All I can do is talk with them on the phone." Ravenell said.

Many soldiers are stationed in other countries, but even being not very far away in their own country can be heartbreaking. For their families left behind, the holidays can be a hard time.

"Right now my husband is Mr. Mom. He takes care of the children," Ravenell said.

In Ravenell's unit(部队), many women have children or are single mothers. Most of them have relatives(亲戚) taking care of their children while they are away.

"Leaving my little girl was hard. My husband has done a good job, but I think all children need their mothers for those early years," Ravenell said. "Leaving was something that I did not want to, but I knew I had to do."

During the holidays most soldiers ______.

A．miss their families very much

B．ask to go home to see their families
