If you love adventure and excitement, then Hunter’s best-selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans (部落)as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the newest book Thunder Clan warrior,Ash fur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.

The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must struggle against many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own barriers when her clan refuses to follow the warrior rule. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. Besides, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.

“Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Red Wall ,a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket ( 类别,等级),they wanted their books to go into the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name alphabetically that would be close to Jacques. Hunter fits perfectly.

“ My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He’s got a quite dark side about him. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinder pelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she isn’t a warrior, she tries to make the best of her destiny (命运). I really admire that in her,” said Victoria Holmes, one of the authors.

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C 和D)中, 选出最佳选项。

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ plete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school or his tendency to sleep until

noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—he point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to mand respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

35. Why does the author pare the parent-teen war to a border conflict? A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line. C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.

36. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents. 37. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______. A. give orders to the other B. know more than the other C. gain respect from the other D. get the other to behave properly

38. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Causes for the parent –teen conflicts. B. Examples of the parent –teen war. C. Solutions for the parent –teen problems. D. Future of the parent-teen relationship. 【参考答案】35-38 BACC

A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, monly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.

Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma(黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.

Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence(发生率)faster than any other cancer in the United States.

But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning. The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer—people with fair skin and freckles(雀斑), for example—are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often. The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study. 39. The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means . A. evidences

B. facts

C. faults

D. failures

40. People with fair skin and freckles . A. seldom use sunscreen

B. are more in danger of skin cancer

C. can be free from the harm of the sun D. often expose themselves to the sun 41. We can learn from the passage that . A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more often B. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen C. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
