In every school a “top” crowd sets the pace,while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing 16 bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, 17 the fact that on some people a bright red sweater is 18 (extreme) unbecoming(不得体的). The situation can even become dangerous,if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people 19 (follow) the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep’s 20 (lead) to the butcher. Now, chances are 21 you have come across situations like these more than once in life; your chances are that one time or 22 you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying,“Gee,the crowd does it. ”Well,let the crowd do it,but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say,“No.”
Develop your own standards and your own judgment. 23 you know the crowd is planning something you 24 (agree) with,have the courage to bow out(辞职) politely. You’ll have the 25 (satisfy) of standing on your own two feet.

第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next, the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.
