B "You have to tell us where you are going and you lied,"my son's father said to him after telling him he wouldn't be able to hang out with his friends for two weeks. My youngest knows the rules:You have to tell us where you will be at all times,and if the plans change,you have to ask before you participate.I've drilled this into his head over and over because I'm that anxious mom,the one that worries,the one who is afraid her kids are going to get into a bad situation if she doesn't repeatedly remind them to make the right choices and follow the rules. Parents can constantly tell their kids to follow the rules,act politely and do things the"right" way.We can teach them the lessons and hope they follow our advice.But the truth is,even though your child can hear your voice in their ear while they are getting ready to stick their big toe into something that they know would make your head spin,it might not be enough to stop them. There are times when they need to experience feeling scared,uneasy or guilty in order to leamn and keep them from repeating the same mistake over and over again.It's one of the most horrible things that I realized as a parent,but after living with three teens for a few years it's my truth-and it's the truth of every other parent of a teenager. Looking back upon my young life,I know nothing really sank in unless I experienced it for myself,like when I stopped eating chocolate late at night and found I was finally able to sleep at night.It took me long to stop damaging my own sleep even though not eating the chocolate was the simple solution.And I am not a stubborn teen. I've realized the importance of stepping back (just a bit),and letting my teens navigate their own way.It's made all the difference. 24.What does the author expect her son to do? A.Stop being so anxious. B.Follow the family rules. C.Learn to tell right from wrong. D.Communicate more with parents. 25.What's the author's scariest realization? A.Kids should tell the truth. B.Kids should obey social rules. C.Kids should learn from their parents. D.Kids should learn by making mistakes. 26.Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 5? 第4页共10页 A.became fully understood B.played an important role. C.sounded possible D.made progress 27.What would be the best title for the text?. A.Let go of your children B.Give your kids more love C.Step back when necessary D.Learn important life lessons c The Big Dipper's stars (are a celestial landmark.Visible in the Northern Hemisphere's night sky,the stars draw out a shape like a scoop with a handle.Beginner stargazers can easily pick it out.Now,scientists have been intrigued by three factors that can explain why certain groups of stars form such recognizable patterns.One is how bright the stars are.Another is how far apart they are. And the third has to do with how human eyes move. The Big Dipper is part of the constellation Ursa Major.That's one of many star groupings that people in the past selected for their shapes.Some shapes were said to depict animals,people or objects.Sophia David wondered why people selected these star groupings.She is a high school student at Friends'Central School in Wynnewood,Penn. "Ancient people from various cultures connected similar groupings of stars independently of each other,"said David.That suggests that different people were perceiving the stars in the same way. So David teamed up with scientists at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.She presented their work on March 18 at an online meeting of the American Physical Society. The researchers thought about how the eyes travel across this night sky.Human eyes tend to move in discrete jumps,called saccades (Seh-KAADS).That's when both eyes quickly shift from one point of interest to another.The team created a computer simulation based on the distribution of saccade lengths.They also included two basic details of the night sky as seen from Earth.The first was how far apart different stars appear from one another in the sky.The second was how bright various stars are. The technique could pick out single constellations.One constellation it picked out was the star grouping known as Dorado,the Dolphinfish.The researchers also used the technique to map the whole sky.It generated groups of stars.The scientists compared those groups to the 88 modern constellations.Those are groups of stars recognized by the International Astronomical Union.The two sets of star groups mostly matched.That confirmed the method worked to explain how the constellations came to be. 28.What are the scientists interested in? A.How the Big Dipper came to exist. B.What contributes to the pattern of groups of stars. C.How the Big Dipper influenced other groups of stars. D.Why certain groups of stars are attractive to human eyes. 第5页共10页 29.What did Sophia David discover? A.Stars are really independent of each other. B.Ancient people were good at observing stars. C.Cultures hardly influence people's way to perceive stars. D.Ancient people cooperated with each other in studying stars. 30.What did the researchers try to do? A.To discover new constellations in the night sky. B.To use technology to recognize constellations. C.To study the movement of human eyes. D.To count the number of constellations. 31.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Dorado is the largest constellation in the sky. B.The researchers decided to improve their method. C.The scientists have found the way the constellations came to be. D.The International Astronomical Union should study modern constellations. D "It was found by my dad,"says archaeologist Andrew Birley.At the time,his father Robin Birley found two oily pieces of wood and picked them up and rubbed them between his fingers.And when he did that,the two pieces came apart-and he saw the writing:the everyday record of an ancient Roman soldier.The content of the wooden tablet included household matters and personal experiences. The first tablet was damaged because archaeologists at the time didn't realize how delicate the ancient wooden artifacts (were.But since then,more than 1,800 similar tablets have been found among other buried artifacts at Vindolanda,and they're now recognized as some of the world's greatest archaeological treasures. The British Museum in London is conducting a new analysis of the materials used to make the Vindolanda tablets,in the hope that by studying the mediums of the tablets they can complete their messages.Most of the tablets were written in Latin language,a very complex language.The tablets were usually found deep underground,where the earth and lack of oxygen prevented the wooden items from damaging.Unfortunately,the Vindolanda site is becoming unstable because of climate change,which causes it ultimately become drier and then wetter,and that means yet-undiscovered writing tablets are less likely to survive in the coming years.It is the most troubling barrier that scientists face in their work.They must act more quickly. "There were lot of soldiers who came from different backgrounds,and they had to be able to communicate with each other,"Andrew Birley says."Archaeologists are discovering the tablets not in a centralized,administrative area,but all around the fort and surrounding residences where ordinary Roman soldiers lived.They were taught to read and write-uncommon practice at the time. This is really beyond my expectations." 第6页共10页 About half of the 300,000 Roman Army soldiers in Britain were citizens of Rome.The rest were auxiliary troops(后备军队)who had signed up to fight for the Romans for25 years,with the promise of being granted citizenship at the end of their enlistment()The tablets show many auxiliary troops came from different places and were sent far from their homes.Regardless of where the troops originated,they wanted to change their life regardless of danger. 32.What do we know about the first tablet found at Vindolanda? A.Andrew Birley preserved it well. B.It was a diary of a Roman soldier. C.Andrew Birley found it by accident. D.It was the artwork of the Roman time. 33.What makes it difficult for scientists to study the tablets? A.The messages on the tablets were destroyed by the war. B.The Latin language is hard for scientists to understand. C.The materials used to make the tablets are nowhere to find. D.The natural condition of preserving the tablets has become worse. 34.What surprises Andrew Birley? A.The great number of Roman soldiers. B.The literacy skills of Roman soldiers. C.The different backgrounds of Roman soldiers. D.The centralized administration of Roman soldiers. 35.Which word can best describe the auxiliary troops? A.Daring. B.United. C.Organized. D.Selfless. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Creating an effective volunteer engagement strategy is a multi-step process.If you're not sure where to start,don't worry!We'll break it down into easy steps.
