When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took her first aid course to learn several survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to abandon(放弃) her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finished successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.56. Which of the following is TRUE of Laura?A. She prepared the voyage at the age of 12.B. She lost her mother after she was born.C. She was allowed to sail around the world finally.D. She wanted to donate money made from the voyage.57. At first, child protection agencies were against Laura’s plan because ____.A. it was considered to be a dangerous tripB. Laura had to finish her schooling firstC. it would cost Laura too much time and moneyD. Laura wasn’t prepared for the sailing alone58. What is Mr. Dekker’s attitude towards Laura’s trip?A. DoubtfulB. SupportiveC. UncertainD. Neutral(中立的)59. The person who keeps the record comes from ____.A. HollandB. AmericaC. IndiaD. AustraliaBSome American parents might think their children need better education to compete with those in China and other countries. But how much do the parents themselves need to change?A new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. In Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. She said that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do, such as attending a sleepover, having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.Many people have criticized Amy Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive(辱骂的). She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style. But she says that it was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Ms. Chua makes fun of her own extreme style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted, “I hate my life! I hate you!”Ms. Chua says she decided to retreat when it seemed like there was a risk that she might lose her daughters. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities. “One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility(脆弱),” she said.“The beginning of this intense discussion has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy Debroff, who has written four books about parenting.Ms. Debroff says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants(移民) seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacey Debroff advises parents to develop their own styles of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.60. Amy Chua has been criticized mainly because ____.A. she looks up to boys and down on girlsB. she has already abused her right as a parentC. she hasn’t raised her children like her own parentsD. she has fought with her children several times61. Which can best describe Ms. Chua according to the passage?A. Uneducated.B. Cruel.C. Strict.D. Strong.62. According to Ms. Debroff, _____.A. Amy Chua’s parenting style should be banned(禁止) in ChinaB. Amy Chua’s should stop to adopt American parenting stylesC. Amy Chua’s parenting style should be adjusted if possibleD. There isn’t any advantages in Amy Chua’s style63. What does the underlined word “retreat” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Give in.B. Pass away.C. Cry out.D. Go ahead.CIn Canada you can find dogs，cats，horses，etc．in almost every family．These are their pets．People love these pets and have them as their good friends．Before they keep them in their houses，they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won't carry disease．They have special animal food stores，though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store．Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food．When you visit people's houses，they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them．You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden．All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal．They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada．They have a law against killing wild animals．If you killed an animal，you would be punished．If an animal happened to get run over by a car，people would be very sad about it．People in Canada have many reasons to like animals．One of them might be：Their family ties are not as close as ours．When children grow up，they leave their parents and start their own life．Then the old will feel lonely．But pets can solve this problem．They can be good friends and never leave them alone．64．The passage mainly talks about .A．how to keep disease from pets B．pets in CanadaC．how to take good care of pets D．life of the old in Canada 65．They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because .A．the pets are sick B．the pets are wild C．they want to stop them from carrying diseaseD．they want them to sleep on the way home66．This passage shows that Canadians ．A．hate animals B．often kill animalsC．love animals D．don't keep pets inside houses67．In Canada，children leave their parents when they grow up because ．A．they don't love their parents any moreB．they can only find jobs far from their parentsC．their parents' houses are too smallD．they wouldn't depend on their parents any moreDScientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again．They want to bring water to the deserts，so people can live and grow food．They are learning a lot about the deserts．But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time．Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time．Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts．People are doing bad things to the earth．Some places on the earth don't get much rain．But they still don't become deserts．This is because some green plants are growing there．Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places．Plants don't let the sun make the earth even drier．Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away．When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water．Without plants，the land can become desert more easily．68．Small green plants are very important to dry places because .A．they don't let the sun make the earth even drierB．they don't let the wind blow the soil awayC．they hold water D．All of the above．69．Land is becoming desert little by little because .A．plants can't grow there B．there is not enough rainC．people haven't done what scientists wish them to doD．scientists know little about the deserts70．Which is the main idea of the first paragraph？A．Scientists know how to change desert into good land．B．Land is becoming desert faster than scientists can change it back into good land．C．If scientists can bring water to desert，people can live and grow food there．D．More and more places are becoming deserts all the time．第二卷（非选择题：45分）第一题：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
