Some students like uniforms, but others dont. However, recently, a Japanese government survey (政府调查) shows that more students in Japan like uniforms now because school uniforms are more fashionable(时尚的) than they were before.I surveyed some Japanese students about what they thought about school uniforms. I asked them, “Are fashionable uniforms popular or not?” There were lots of different opinions(观点,看法).Hiromi said, “I like school uniforms because I dont need to choose clothes every day. I think that fashionable uniforms are good. My high school uniform is fashionable, but there is a problem. Fashionable uniforms are too expensive.”Miki said that she didnt like fashionable uniforms because she didnt want to spend so much money on uniforms. She thought that the uniforms should be changed(被改变). They should be cheaper and easier to get.Mitsuaki said, “I dont like school uniforms because I want to look different. I also agree that fashionable uniforms make many students want to wear uniforms in high school. If students like fashionable uniforms, it is good.”（1）Do more students or fewer students like uniforms in Japan now?（2）What is the question of the survey?（3）How many students opinions are there in the passage?（4）Why does Hiromi like school uniforms?（5）Why do students not like school uniforms?3. （10分）A student newspaper reports that most students go to sleep at 1:30 am. Even if thats an overstatement (夸张), its close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But thats hard. Some are even “pulling all-nighters” (开夜车). These students must hand in their homework the next day but they havent done it. In the morning they dont look healthy and you can tell whos been doing it. One of my classmates did a survey on the topic. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!Maybe our lack(缺乏) of sleep is because of laziness I think Im a rather lazy student or maybe its because we have too much to do in American high schools. I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1:30 am, I wouldnt get any work done. Id be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 am. Im partly awake in my first class. By the second, Im a little sleepy. By my third class, Im sleepy. By midday Im finally fully awake. But by 3:00 pm, Im slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than usual students.Most American high schools seem to have a similar(相似的) problem with sleepy students. High school classes start at 7:30 am, so students have to get up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. Its believed that lack of sleep can be bad for both grades and health. Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 am.（1）What does the underlined sentence “its close to the truth” mean?A . It doesnt tell the truth.B . It is quite true.C . It is impossible.D . I dont think its right.（2）Why do most of the teens have to stay up late?A . They play computer games.B . They watch videos late.C . They have to do a lot of housework.D .

This is a question that many of us would like to have an answer to. However, it is very difficult, especially when you are between the age of 14 and 24 and there is not a lot of time for self-questioning. But the famous music TV channel MTV organised a survey asking exactly this question, and now we know what 1,280 young people say they think about this.Is it going out with friends? Is it becoming a star? Is it having enough money to buy clothes and mobile phones? Well no, none of these. What makes teens happy is spending time with their families. Yes, thats right, they say they prefer being with parents and brothers and sisters to spending time with friends. And who are these teenagers heroes? Film stars? Their favourite rock musicians? Football players? Surprise, surprise! The young people in the survey say that their hero is one of their parents.So, whats your opinion? Whats your answer to the question? American teenagers also say friendship and spirituality are important, and not material things -mobile phones and mp3 players are not the centre of their lives. This evening, when you have five minutes, make a list of the situations, people and things which give you joy.The MTV survey is also very important for parents. It is a big responsibility to be your childs hero. Its no good being the sort of parent who doesnt find time to sit together and have a chat, to ask and answer questions. What young people want is parents that love and understand them, who they can talk to. This evening, when you come back from work, dont just turn on the TV or start cooking. Ask your kids Hows it going? and stay there to really listen to their answer.（1）Who did the survey?A . a TV channelB . 1,280 young peopleC . a pop starD . some parents（2）The surprising answer is that young people say that they_A . love starsB . want to become famousC . admire their parents mostD . want to make much money when they grow up（3）The survey is important for parents becauseA . they can understand that they have a big responsibilityB . they can feel lovedC . they can share opinions with other parentsD . they can know how to cook（4）What does the writer want the parents to do?A . turn the TV on before cookingB . stay awake more oftenC . speak and listen to their kidsD . ask their children to do more housework三、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共11分)6. （11分）阅读理解 He was driving home one cold evening on a country road when he saw an old lady standing on the side of the road.
