三．阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

（20小题，每题2分）

A

An old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers．

Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school．"

Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person． It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．

And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．

The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．

Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．

41. From the case of Tina, we can know that ．

A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lot

C．schools are to blame D．personalities are related

42. Which of the following is NOT bullying?

A．To beat someone repeatedly． B．To call someone names．

C．To isolate someone from friends． D．To refuse to help someone in need．

43. Why is cyberbullying appealing to the bully?

A．Because it can involve more people． B．Because it can create worse effects．

C．Because it is more convenient． D．Because it can avoid cheating．

44. According to Susan Sweater, ．

A．bullies are anti-social B．bullies should give victims help

C．students are not equally treated D．bullies themselves also need help

45. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A．Bullying—Old Irish Girl Committed Suicide B．15-Year-Old Irish Girl Committed Suicide

C．Cyberbullying-Taking Off in Schools D．How to Find Bullying among Teens

Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dresse
