I'm fat. I'm too skinny. I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had straight hair, a smaller nose
and longer legs. Do these statements sound familiar? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're
going through a ton of body changes, so does your image(形象)of yourself. Lots of teenagers
have trouble in adjusting(适应)to these changes. And this can affect their selfesteem(自尊).
Selfesteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A
person who has high selfesteem will make friends easily, and will enjoy life more. Body image
is how someone feels about his or her own physical appearance. For many people, especially
7
those in their early teens, body image can be closely linked to(同……密切联系)selfesteem.
That's because as kids develop into teens, they care more about how others see them.
Some teens struggle with their selfesteem when their body goes through many changes.
These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, may make teens compare
themselves with others. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with
actors and celebrities(名人)they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.
Family life can sometimes influence selfesteem. Some parents spend more time
criticizing their kids and the way they look than praising them, which can reduce kids' ability to
develop good selfesteem.
61. Many teenagers don't adjust to ____ as they are growing up.
A. body changes and image of their friends
B. body changes and image of themselves
C. habit changes and image of themselves
D. habit changes and image of their families

B. it can help us save time
C. it can affect how we act
D. it can give us more chances

B. friends' opinions
C. teachers' thoughts
D. other people's views
64. Parents should ____ to help their children to develop good selfesteem.
A. criticize them when they are making mistakes
B. teach them a lesson when they do something wrong
C. praise them when they have a little progress
D. solve all the problems they meet for them
65. From the first paragraph, we can infer that ____.

A. most teens like to have a special body image
B. many teens can't accept their body changes easily
C. teens prefer to change their body image quickly
D. teens usually change their opinions on their body image
C
All our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, but animals live on plants. If there
were no plants, we would have no animals or meat. So the soil is necessary for life.
The top of ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. Plants grow in soil which
has a dark colour. This dark soil is humus. Dead leaves, dead plants and animal waste make it,
but this takes a long time. When the humus has been made, plants can grow well in it.
All soil needs food. If we don't give it any, the plants will be weak. Animal waste is the
best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop should
not be grown in the same place every year; it is better to have a different crop. A change of
crops and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.
When the soil is dry, the wind blows it away. Sometimes heavy rain carries the humus
down to a river. People should grow more and more trees and grass to stop wind from carrying
the humus away. It takes hundreds of years to make humus, so we must save every bit of it.
Without soil, where can we grow food?
66. From the passage, we know people live on ____.
A. animals B. plants C. meat D. soil
67. We should ____ to keep the soil.
A. give more fertilizers
B. grow a different crop every year
C. make more humus
D. grow more trees and grass
68. We should save every bit of humus, because____.
A. it takes a long time to make humus
B. sometimes the wind will blow the dry soil away
C. the chemical fertilizers are expensive
D. animal waste is the best food for the soil

69. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Plants grow in soil with a dark colour
B. Soil is necessary to people
C. Soil's food is chemical fertilizers
D. Humus is hard to make
D
The world uses about a thousand million(百万)tons of water a day. Water is a human right
and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have
trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the
environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is
not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and
reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes
from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty
to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built
around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of
water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce more clean
water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not
having enough water for everyone.
70. Treating wastewater helps the environment by ____.
A. storing waste in ice and snow
B. letting waste run into oceans
C. keeping waste out of rivers and oceans
D. sending waste to coastal countries
71. What does the underlined word “desalination”in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电
C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化
72. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
10
A. Water should be a human right.
B. The water problem is still serious.
C. Our planet is covered with water.
D. Everyone has enough clean water.

goes on until 8 p. m.
You can't bring food or drinks into the festival, but there are a lot of restaurant tents with
lots of food and drinks—from pizzas to burgers, Chinese to Mexican, fizzy drinks to different
juice and tea.
There's a lot of music as well, everything from indie to hip hop, from electronic to heavy
metal.
There are six stages. The main stage is outside and the other five are in huge tents.
Sometimes it's difficult to choose which band to watch. But as a whole, the music is fantastic
and the teenagers are happy.
