Most magic involves a person called a m

15、agician, who claims to have supernatural powers. Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the ma

16、gic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. Fo

17、r example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(灑) water on the ground. The magicians combined words and actions form a ceremony.Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term oft

18、en refers to an objectfor example, a carving or a dried snakehonored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.Many people carry magic objects called amulets(護(hù)身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rin

19、gs engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit the

20、ir powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certai

21、n period before the ceremony.36What do magic words mean to people in some society? AThey have the power to kill devils.BThey have power if magician recites the right spells.CThey have no effect at all. DThey can be used whenever they want. 37People believe magic actions will have an effect if they a

22、re accompanied by_.Athe spellsBmagic objectsCstones or rings engraved with magic symbolsDmedicine 38Why do many people believe in a fetish? ABecause it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money. BBecause it is carved with magic symbols. CBecause people think spirits live in it. DBecause it can h

BOnly those inheriting their powers.COnly men.DAlmost all the people in some societies. 40Whats the best title of the passage? AHow Magic WorksBThe Power of Magic C

24、How to Practice Magic DThe Choice of Magicians BEvery culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone

25、 drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grownup world.“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school，” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memory,

26、especially for kids from wealthier families. “Its like youre not cool if you dont have a car，” she said.According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.Not all

27、families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16yearolds have a

28、lmost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learners permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although it ha

29、s caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky，” he said, “But Id rather be alive than driving, and I_dont_really_trust_my_friends_on_the_road,_either.”In China as more families get cars, more 18yearolds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?41Which ma

30、y serve as the best title of the article?ACars Helping You to GrowUpBDriving into the GrownUp WorldCTeenagers Driving in AmericaDRecognized Point of Becoming an Adult4216yearold drivers have more accidents possibly because_.Athey want to show themselves offBthey are never experienced driversColder p

31、eople always drive betterDthey never drive carefully on the road43Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?AHow well off the family is.BWhether the kid is old enough.CWhat traffic condition there is around.DWhether its practically needed.44When Chad said “I dont r

32、eally trust my friends”， he meant that_.Ahe might run into his friends if he drove Bhe didnt agree with his friendsChe might not be safe if his friends droveDhe was afraid that his friends might well lie to him45The passage mainly gives information about _.Aan American cultureBa cultural difference

33、between America and ChinaCa change in the Chinese cultureDthe relationship between driving and a persons developmentCIm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any

34、of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher leve

35、l of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔離) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception tha

36、t the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we_cant_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build commun

37、ities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual(虛擬的) violenc

38、e your children are exposed to. Its not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you c

39、ope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesnt have to ruin your life.46According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago _.Aprobably suffered less from anxietyBwere consi

40、dered less individualisticCwere less isolated physicallyDwere probably less selfcentered 47What does the author mean by saying “we cant turn the clock back” in the third paragraph?AIts impossible to forget the past. BThe social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.CIts impossible to slow

41、down the pace of change.DLessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.48The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about peoples state of mind are _.Aillogical BconfusingCsurprising Dquestionable49Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?ATo children, a

42、nxiety is completely avoidable.BTV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.CExercise does not help to lessen childrens anxiety.DSometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.50The first and most important thing parents should do to h

43、elp their children is_.Ato lower their expectations for them Bto set a good model for them to followCto get them more involved sociallyDto improve them with a safer environmentDJapanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must

44、take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school._The school day begins at 8：30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the days studies.

45、 Each homeroom has an average of 4045 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(設(shè)備) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchti

46、me, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐廳), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Stude

47、nts in high schools take three years each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required su

48、bjects, electives(選修科目) are few.Afterschool ActivitiesClub activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and cul

49、ture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.51Most Japanese high school students often have

You want to protect but not treat too kindly, advise but not control and let them live their own liveswith so

53、me input, of course.If your child asks you to tie a particular hardtotie knot(繩結(jié))for a project she is working on，just tie the knot. Dont start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it. She wants to do it herself, in her own way. Before offering help or advice which your child has not asked for, count to ten. Perhaps in those seconds youll decide that the advice would do no good，or isnt really that important，and youll drop it. If the advi
