2012扬州中考英语模拟试题及答案
C
It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job about science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my co-worker's son?" she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr. Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

Crime is a serious problem in Britain. One kind of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile crime(青少年犯罪)-that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years, juvenile crime has been increasing. There are two main kinds of juvenile crime: stealing and violence(暴力). Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.
These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels(叛逆者). Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.
There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from, crimes are rare because everybody knows everyone else.
Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people don’t agree that this influences young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow up in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.
42.According to the passage, which young group from Britain is least likely to commit crimes?
A. Young people who are very poor.B. Young people who are in great need of help.
C. Young people in big cities.D. Young people in the countryside.

A. there are too many films and reports about crime and violence around children
B. children are required to see films and listen to reports about crime and violence
C. children are asked to play in films and reports about crime and violence
D. children are not allowed to see films or listen to reports about crime and violence
44.According to the writer, the cause of juvenile crime mainly is in ______.
A. young people themselvesB. the society they live in
C. young people and our society equally D. the adult world
45.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Different kinds of juvenile crime. B. The causes of juvenile crime.
C. Increasing crime rate in Britain.D. Stealing and violence in Britain.
