A mathematics teacher asks her students to design a floor plan for a community center, including dance areas and a place for a band. Why?

III. Reading Comprehension Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
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 __50__ countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I __51__ and what you do？
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. __52__, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for __53__ it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their children’s complete __54__. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except __55__. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I'll describe three no-win __56__ that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the __57__. The first is quarrels over __58__ things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's __59__ 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 __60__ is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the __61__ of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered a/an __62__ — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command __63__. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they __64__ more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Willy, a merchant, returned home to his own country from a faraway continent, where he had succeeded to make a small fortune by hard work. He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party.
He was in such a happy mood and in the joy of the moment, he did not even bother changing his grey flannel（法兰
绒）suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.
When he entered the brilliantly lit room, his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.
A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated at this and said to Willy, “What a wonderful reception you have received from these people. They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home.”
“Just wait and see!” whispered Willy, “They will soon change their looks!” Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger. All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn’t know what to do. A man shook his hand, a cousin threw his arms around him, and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought that he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.
“Has this beautiful, precious ring of yours the power of enchanting（施魔法）people?” asked the young man.
“Oh, no!” replied Willy, “They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich, and, unfortunately, they place wealth above everything else.”
\"What blind people!\" exclaimed the young man. “It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches. Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord?... And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues（美德）!”
65. In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends?
A. In such a modest mood. B. In travel-soiled clothes. C. Wearing a precious jewel. D. Without being accompanied. 66. The word “irritated” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. excited B. pleased C. angry D. envious
67. According to the young man, people should ______.
A. give up all the physical wealth B. appreciate more jewelry than goodness C. observe carefully when judging a person D. avoid being blinded by the desire for wealth 68. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Diamond Ring B. The Welcome Party C. The Modest Clothes D. The Joyful Crowd

Toys for Tickets Now Underway
Boston drivers are reminded that the City’s popular “Toys for Tickets” campaign is currently underway. All non-public safety parking tickets issued on Boston’s streets on December 1, 2 and 3, 2010, may be resolved by providing a toy of equal or greater value than the fine on the ticket.
Toys are being accepted this week through Friday, December 17, between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM, on the second floor of Boston City Hall as well as at the Transportation Department’s Enforcement Building at 200 Frontage Road. Parking is available at the 200 Frontage Road facility. To participate in the “Toys for Tickets” program, drivers must bring the parking ticket as well as a new, non-violent, unwrapped toy of an equal or greater value than the fine. A receipt must be provided for the toy.
The “Toys for Tickets” program began in Boston 16 years ago. Last year, the campaign resulted in over $3,000 in toys being donated to local families who would not otherwise have been able to provide presents to their children on Christmas.
Boston Named #1 Digital City
Mayor Thomas M. Menino announced today that the City of Boston has been ranked #1 among the most advanced digital cities in America according to the Center for Digital Government’s 10th Annual Digital Cities Survey. The survey recognizes municipalities that successfully use technology to better serve constituents and conduct government operations.
In September 2010, the City of Boston website was named the #1 city government website in America in the Center for Digital Government’s Best of the Web Competition. Boston is the first city to win both awards in the same year.
“I am proud of the way that we are using technology to make government more accessible to Boston’s residents, businesses and visitors,” said Mayor Menino. “This recognition is an honor for the Department of Innovation and Technology and the entire City of Boston.”

(C)
Camera flashes cut across the softly lighted downtown Los Angeles restaurant, as the crowd at Ludo Bites jostles（推挤）for the photo – of the Columbian River king salmon duck. “This is the game we all now play,” chef and owner Ludo Lefebvre said. “We cook, we smile – and the people, they don’t eat. They get their cameras.”
Not so long ago, diners, hungry for special meals, would pull out a point-and-shoot at a restaurant for a quick picture of sliced birthday cake.
No more. Taking a cue from Twitter and Facebook cultures, serious foodies（美食家）and casual consumers alike are using digital technology to document each bite, then sharing the pictures online.
Flickr, the photo-sharing website, has seen the number of pictures tagged as “food” jump from about half a million in 2008 to more than 6 million today, according to company officials. In the group “I Ate This” on Flickr’s site, nearly 20, 000 people have uploaded more than 307,000 images of their latest meals.
Camera manufacturers are joining the trend, selling cameras that offer “food” settings, which adjust to enhance colors and textures（质地）on close-ups.
“I am sharing my experiences with my friends,” said Hong Pham, 33, a Los Angeles radiologist who runs the food blog Ravenous Couple. “Why shouldn’t I share what inspires me?”
But what is documentary fun for people such as Pham is souring the gastronomic（美食的）set.
Managers regularly face diners demanding to be moved away from camera flashes and sounds. Waiters find themselves tongue-tied as customers take out voice recorders to capture a recitation of each course. Some chefs have had enough.
Chef Grant Achatz allows only no-flash photography in his restaurant. He, like many other chefs, finds himself torn between being flattered by the public’s enthusiasm and annoyed with the effect the picture-taking is having on the restaurant’s operation.
Some consumers now believe food should be consumed visually as well as physically. “What happened to the enjoyment of just eating the food?” said Andrew Knowlton, the restaurant editor for Bon Appetite magazine. “People are
losing sight of why you go out.”
72. Who is the most supportive of taking pictures of food in restaurants?
A. Grant Achatz. B. Andrew Knowlton. C. Hong Pham. D. Ludo Lefebvre. 73. People tend to take pictures in restaurants because ______.
A. delicately-made dishes are visually inviting B. they will share with others their dining experience C. cameras can be specially set for food photography
D. they can profit by selling pictures to famous websites 74. What can we infer from the passage?
A. More pictures will be uploaded at websites like Twitter and Facebook. B. Consumers used to take pictures in restaurants only for their birthdays. C. Rules should be set out that there is no food photography in restaurants.
D. Chefs are likely to accept picture-taking in their restaurants to a limited extent. 75. The passage is most probably a ______.
A. news story B. feature article C. commercial advertisement D. survey report
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. How can you select your test location? B. How many times do you plan to take the test? C. When do you have to submit your test scores? D. What is the most appropriate test date for you? E. Where do you stand in your high school coursework? F. What are the factors determining your choice of test time? 76.
The ACT is offered nationally several times a year, between September and June. However, it's not offered at every test center on each test date. If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons, you’ll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers. 77. One of the first things you should find out, then, is where the ACT is being offered in your area. A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www.actstudent.org. Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information. It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT, which is available free from your school counselor. Often, your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center. 78. One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school. A number of factors will affect this decision. First, you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores. Is there a special program or scholarship for which you want to apply? If so, is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency? Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7 weeks after the test date. Just be sure you're doing everything, including taking the ACT, early enough to keep all your options open. 79. Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework. If
you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English, mathematics, and science in your sophomore and junior years, it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year, while those subjects are still fresh in your memory. If, on the other hand, you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year, it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then. 80. Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once, in hopes of improving your score. In that case, it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try. There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your junior year: (i) You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT. (ii)You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework. (iii) You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive.
In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it. To clear the land for farms, the Maya cut down trees with stone axes. They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were cloth makers, builders, or priests（教士）.
Measuring time was important to the Maya, for farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops. Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. They studied the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.
Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from an infectious disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists（考古学家）are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya. They are still one of our greatest mysteries.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS.)
81. ________ helped Mayan people live a better life than most other people.
82. You know Maya farming was most productive from the fact that several people _________.
83. Why did Mayan priests make the Mayan calendar?
84. When did Maya civilization collapse?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Some years ago an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road. She did not appear to have had an accident, but she was trembling and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the nearest hospital. She began to tell the doctor on duty a story which was astonishing in all respects. She had been driving along a country road when she was stopped by a flying saucer landing in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by some creatures. These creatures looked like human beings, and could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak. It was as though they could read her thoughts and she could read theirs. They treated her politely and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her. As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side effects of some drug. The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address, it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to make inquiries. They soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband had reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver’s door open and the engine running. In front of the car the surface of the road had been completely destroyed – not by an explosion or anything of that kind, but as though, a large, circular, white-hot object had burnt through it.
14. Which of the following events happened first?
15. Which of the following description of the creatures in the flying saucer is TRUE? 16. Which of the following topics can best summarize the story?
