Its not magic its magnets （磁）And its close to realityIn Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campusIn Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the powerAnd in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong AirportThese trains use magnetic levitation （悬浮） technology, “maglev” for shortThey use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each otherHow does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding wayWith a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the pastWhen an electrical current is sent through the track, the train movesTurn the current backwards and the train slows downMaglev doesnt rely on the friction （摩擦力） of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional trainAnd it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop60This passage is about _AmaglevBmagnetsClevitationDelectricity61Which of the following is a repelling action?ABCD62What can we learn from the text?AA magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev trainBInstead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglevCMaglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheelsDElectric currents decide the movements of a maglev train63What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?AA maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one cantBA maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowedCTravelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary oneDFloating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway trainCJust like the young character in Hannah Montana, who so often fights with her father over her desire to be more independent, British teenagers also have their troublesA recent survey among 2,000 British parents shows that girls and boys experience similar kinds of stress, with some slight differences Girls want to grow up fast, demanding greater freedomThey feel pressure from their peers to be thin and sometimes dangerously experiment with alcohol Girls over 14 are more concerned with getting a boyfriend, make-up and going out with friends than with their schoolworkThey are more likely to complain about pocket money Parents found they have their toughest time with boys over the age of 15Their sons are battling bad skin, are reluctant（不情愿的） to speak, and just like girls over 14 are little interested in their studiesSeven out of ten parents said their sons become frustrated（挫败的） when they are not understood Unsurprisingly, it isnt just British teenagers who have such problemsIn a survey published in the US last month, two out of three high school students said their life was toughThere was a universal worry over body image and ability to fit in sociallyPlenty of the teenagers feel great pressures to get good grades, with nearly half regarding this as their top worryThe next biggest issue is pressure they face to get into good collegeAccording to the survey, 66 percent reported saving their money to pay for all or part of college“Todays American teens have witnessed what their families have endured during recent economic challenges, and they are much more aware of the importance of planning ahead,” said Stuart Rubinstein, managing director with TD Ameritrade, which carried out the survey64What is the article mainly about?AWhat makes the lives of teenagers so hard?BHow to deal with teen problems?CStress faced by UK and US teenagersDPeer pressure faced by UK and US teenagers65According to the survey, boys over 15 often feel great pressure to _Agrow up fastBexperiment with alcoholCget into a good collegeDbe more open and communicative66The underlined word “universal” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _AglobalBcommonCaverageDreasonable67How have recent economic challenges affected American teens?AThey have become more concerned about their futureBThey are now more worried about the ability to fit in sociallyCThey are attempting to learn more about money managementDThey are spending more time developing their practical skillsDWhen the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was savedBut it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers（铜钱）The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeedIt was a thin strip（条）of vellum（牛皮纸）on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”!The touchstone was a small pebble（小园石）that could turn any common metal into pure goldThe writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like itBut the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are coldSo the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebblesHe knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of timesSo, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the seaHe spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstoneYet he went on and on this wayPick up a pebbleCold-throw it into the seaPick up anotherThrow it into the seaThe days stretched into weeks and the weeks into monthsOne day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warmHe threw it into the sea before he realized what he had doneHe had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it awaySo it is with opportunityUnless we are vigilant（警惕的）, its easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and its just as easy to throw it away68The book was special to the man because _Ait was made of vellumBit was the only book that survived the great fireCit was a story about how to tell the touchstone from ordinary stonesDit included the secret of the touchstone69He threw pebbles into the sea _Ato test how far he could throwBto practice throwing pebblesCto avoid picking up the same pebble once againDto express his disappointment at failing to find the touchstone70What message does the story want to convey?ACareful habits can lead to successBHabits can benefit you but also hold you backCNever judge a person or a thing by appearancesDOpportunity only visits the ready and watchful mind第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Is there anything more important than health?
