Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it‘s such a tiny thing, it‘s causing so much grief. I‘m holding him a lot and I‘m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I‘m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can‘t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I‘m taking my girl to have her nails done before her firs t day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We‘ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I‘ll get sc hool cloth ready, I‘ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we‘ll read―The Kissing Hand,‖ like we normally do, and I‘ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you‘ve been warm and wonderful, you‘ve been sweet and sticky, you‘ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has no time to get dressedBCCBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you‘ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled t o remember the name of an old friend? For years we‘ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles a nd grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we‘ve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s – much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it‘s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed– how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we‘re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we‘ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people‘s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.BAAACEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don‘t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big or small – is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-schedule.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don‘t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators‘ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night‘s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. Youmay think that you have ―all semester‖ to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects.Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It‘s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you‘ve achieved will help you reinfor ce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don‘t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren‘t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. ―Now I have more time for fun.‖B. ―I can start my big project later.‖C. ―I‘ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.‖D. ―I‘m going to have more time to finish my paper.‖65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their __________.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A.show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDCCBDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times c olumnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. ―We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out‖, he said, ―The pressure to succeed professiona lly, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedul es as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. ―Today‘s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,‖ Brooks wrote in an article, ―We fear failure more than we desire success.‖A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.―When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,‖ Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one‘s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student‘s future career, but can sometimes draw f ocus away from academics.To prevent the death of man‘s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. ―Synchronicity is key to happiness,‖ he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word ―eclipses‖ means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students‘ desire for achievementsDBDA第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when shopping is often a to ugh cal l. Even if you‘re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two bas ic styles. ―Maximize r s‖ like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options, – sometimes every possible one –before choosing. ―Satisficers‖ would rather be fast than thorough.__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their req uirements, they can‘t make a decision until after they‘ve examined every option to make sure that they‘re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)―The maximizers is kicking himself because he can‘t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,‖ they say. ―Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)‖Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you‘re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you‘ve arriv ed at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags you can consider, you‘ll save time. You‘ll be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisfiers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.AGEBD第四部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节(15分)你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除夕,你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。

I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children's lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an "A" on his spelling test. She replied, "That' s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. " It was funny --- but TRUE ! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the试卷第2页,共13页dangers of posting things on Facebook.Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works - the credit card isn't free money - you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this - they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.Choosing a career (职业) is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It' s not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she "wanted to do" and the degree she chose did not match.I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven' t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience - maybe two or three courses m areas of interest in high school that give them a "feel" for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion. 1、 Why does the author mention the movie Easy A? A .To prove the importance of book learning. B .To show the parents' ignorance of spelling. C .To lead to the topic he is going to talk about. D .To share with the readers his feeling about the movie. 2、The author believes thatA .students need to focus on the skills in learningB .parents and school should be consistent in educationC .his daughter is smart enough to make her own choiceD .courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students 3、The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 6 probably means_____ A .discouraging B .specific C .rewarding D .regular 4、What is mainly discussed in the passage? A . Schools should prepare students for the real life. B .What students learn in school should be practiced in life. C . Life experience is of greater importance than school education. D .Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.The term, culture shock, describes the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to do, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. The feeling of culture shock generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place.We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when coming to live in another country or place. Often, the way that we lived before is not accepted as or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines and so forth.Although one can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for resetting one' s life objectives. It is a great opportunity for learning and acquiring new viewpoints. Culture shock can make one develop a better understanding of oneself.Culture shock has many stages. The first stage is called the "honeymoon" stage. The new arrival may feel excited as everything is new.In the second stage, a person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur such as not being understood. There may be feelings of discontent, anger, sadness, and feeling incompetence. This happens when a person is trying to adapt to a new culture. Transition (过渡) between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete.The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. One may start to feel a certain psychological balance. The new arrival may start to have a feeling of direction and want to belong.In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. The person has a more solid feeling of belonging and starts to set goals for living.The fifth stage is called the " re-entry shock". This occurs when a return to thecountry of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly acquired customs are not in use in the old culture.Many factors (因素) contribute to the length and effects of culture shock. For example, the individual's state of mental health, type of personality, previous experiences, familiarity with the language, and level of education. So the five stages are present at different times and each person has their own way of reacting. 64. What do we learn about culture shock?5、What do we learn about culture shock?试卷第4页,共13页A .It has negative effect on people.B .Its effect can differ from person to person.C .It disappears when people return to their homelands.D .It can be avoided if one can understand the language. 6、Which stage of culture shock is Tommy in?Tommy moved to France with his parents two months ago. But now he still can not get used to the life there. He also has problems in schooling.Even worse, he doesn't think anybody cares about him.A .Stage 2.B .Stage 3.C .Stage 4.D .Stage 5. 7、 The main purpose of the passage is to________A .discuss and clarifyB .argue and adviseC .introduce and explainD .compare and evaluateIf there's one thing I' ve learned from my years of being a kid, it' s that you have ZERO control over your own life.Ever since school ended, I haven' t had anything I' ve needed to do or anywhere I' ve needed to be. As long as the air-conditioning(空调) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.But then, out of the blue, this happened - " Pack your bags. We' re going on a road trip ! " Mom said excitedly.This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warming. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going .to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.It wasn't exactly my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie !Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going - Disney World. I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad.But when my little brother, Danny, heard about the change he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would bea " bonding" experience for the whole family.8、What did the author prefer to do during his summer holidays?A.Visit Aunt Loretta.B.Travel with his family.C.Look after his little brother.D.Watch TV comfortably at home.9、From the passage, we can learn that the author_______A.loved his aunt very muchB.got pretty excited about the road tripC.felt helpless with his mother's surprise tripsD.blamed Danny for not going to Disney World10、Who makes the final decision in the family?A.The author.

It was about two or three in the morning, when it became clear that we were lost. The country 36 seemed to be going on forever, and the farther we traveled, the worse it seemed to get.Finally we 37 a truck stop. So we pulled in and I got out of the car for 38 .“Does anybody here know how to find Merridale Road?” I asked.A very tired waitress looked up and said, “Lady, I haven’t got a clue.”Since she was not 39 , I looked around at the customers. There, sitting nearby, were four of the toughest men I had ever seen in my life. Chains. Black leather. Skulls and crossbones (骷髅).I immediately thought of my 40 in the car and what these characters might do to us.“We know 41 you’re going,” one of them said cheerfully. “Not only that, but we’ll take you there.”42 I could say no, they got up, paid their bill, and were outside on their motorcycles, gesturing, “ 43 us!”We started to follow them down the dark and quiet country roads.After a few minutes, my son decided it was all 44 for us. “They’re taking us to a 45 place, and that will be the end,” he said 46 . "I'm never going to see my school or my friends again. How 47 you do this to me?”I whispered to my husband, “I don’t want to scare Jack, but he’s right. I am a bit 48 . It’s dark. The road is getting very lonely. And these people are tough. Maybe I did the 49 thing.”“No kidding,” he replied. “We’re just going to have to trust that it’s going to be all right.”About an hour later, after 50 through endless back roads deep in the woods, they 51 to us to go left.We looked up, and there was the 52 for Merridale Road. They had put us on the right road after all. And then they 53 good-bye and disappeared from view.If I’ve learned anything on this 54 journey of mine, it’s that around every bend in the road, and at the end of even the darkest tunnel, there’s likely to be a company of 55 .36.

Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and verysharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six months of its life. The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink.” The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It’s also where they sleep. Ko alas sleep about nineteen hours a day!Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.56. According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?A. They both have thick fur.B. They both have sharp teeth.C. They both eat eucalyptus leaves.D. They both carry their young in a pocket.57. The word “koala” comes from a wo rd that means _______.A. no drinkB. moving slowlyC. large earsD. barking loudly58. Why do koalas sleep a lot?A. Their babies need to get much rest.B. They get tired from playing so much.C. Their food does not give them much energy.D. They do not like to be awake when it is warm.59. If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get ________.A. worriedB. scaredC. hungryD. sleepyBGlendale City Parks Ranger ClubWelcome to the Glendale City Parks Ranger Club.

He felt proud, excited, and happy—and also a little nervous about whether his essay would win.Ben’s local newspaper had advertised a contest inviting students to submit essays in honor of a remarkable teacher. The newspaper would choose the five best essays and print them in the paper. As soon as Ben heard about the contest, he knew he wanted to write about Mrs. Gruen.Mrs. Gruen was always so friendly and patient, and she always had something encouraging to say to her students. Even more importantly, she knew how to make science interesting and enjoyable. Before being in her class, Ben would have said he was uninterested in science, but now science was his favorite subject.At first, Ben had struggled with his essay. After he finished his first draft, he asked his older sister, Hannah, to review it. Eventually, after many more revisions, the essay was ready to mail. As Ben stood before the mailbox, he imagined how surprised Mrs. Gruen would be to open the newspaper and see her name in print.When the big day finally came, Ben opened the newspaper and eagerly studied the columns of print for the essay he had written. He did not see his essay anywhere. He turned through all of the pages, but it was not there! Instead, he saw five other essays talking about five other teachers. Ben felt like a balloon that had suddenly lost all its air.A few days later in science class, Mrs. Gruen asked Ben to stay after class for a few minutes. “Your sister stopped by yesterday,” Mrs. Gruen told Ben. “She brought me the most wonderful gift.” Ben saw that Mrs. Gruen was holding a copy of his essay. “You have no idea how much it means to me that you enjoy my class and think I’m a good teacher. No reward or honor could ever be greater than this essay,” said Mrs. Gruen.“OK,” Ben said, “I meant everything I wrote.” Then he stepped into the hallway with his head held high.64. When Ben read the five essays in print, he felt _____.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. annoyedD. nervous65. What did Mrs. Gruen think of Ben’s essay?A.It built up her reputation.B. It was a great honor to her.C. It helped Ben make progress.D. It deserved to win an award.66. From the passage, we can learn that Mrs. Gruen _____.A. got great achievements in scienceB. educated many outstanding studentsC. encouraged her students in writing contestsD. developed her students’ interest in scienceDCan a Language Become Extinct?A language can become extinct when the last person who can speak it passes away. Or more likely when the second-last person who speaks it dies because then there is no one left to talk to. According to linguists (语言学家) there is nothing unusual about a single language dying out. But what is happening today is quite remarkable. According to the recent statistics, there are approximately 6,000 languages in the world as we speak. Of these, about half are going to die out in the next century.There are several reasons as to why a language can eventually die out. These range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, to sociological factors, like cultural assimilation, in which the culture of a minority group is gradually replaced by a stronger one. The former can cause tribes to leave their natural habitat(栖息地) and therefore become fewer and fewer in number. However, it doesn’t happen very frequently. In fact, the latter is a much bigger threat and it is responsible for the extinction of a lot of languages in countries like the USA and Australia. For instance, Chemehuevi is one of the languages which is really close to dying out since its sole speaker is an old, yet healthy, man named Johnny Hill, Jr.It is very important for as many languages as possible to be preserved. Scientists have been trying to raise p eople’s awareness on how certain tribes have specific words which cannot be expressed in let’s say English simply because there is no equal meaning. Namely, the Yupik of Alaska have 99 names to describe different layers of ice formation, or how the Tofa of Siberia classify reindeer (驯鹿). In other words, when languages die out, mankind’s wisdom reduces.On a happier note, there are many famous cases which show what can be done to preserve languages in danger of extinction. In particular, the Maori in New Zealand have created so-called “language nests”: organizations which help children under five learn the language. They provide them with a setting where they are exposed to the language intensively so that they get to realise that communicating in Maori is as natural as communicating in English.

In 2002, Rezwan began transforming boats into schools. Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students. The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom. The only difference was that they floated on a river.______73______ Today Rezwan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh.

I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning! I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children's lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn. But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems. There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that but everything has he received an "A" on his spelling test. She replied, "That' s great, honey, It was funny --- but TRUE ! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our spell check these days. " children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook. Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works - the credit card isn't free money - you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this - they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another. Choosing a career (职业) is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It' s not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she "wanted to do" and the degree she chose did not match. I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven' t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience - maybe two or three courses m areas of interest in high school that give them a "feel" for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion. 1、Why does the author mention the movie Easy A? A.To prove the importance of book learning. B.To show the parents' ignorance of spelling. C.To lead to the topic he is going to talk about. D.To share with the readers his feeling about the movie. 2、The author believes that A.students need to focus on the skills in learning B.parents and school should be consistent in education C.his daughter is smart enough to make her own choice D.courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students 3、The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 6 probably means_____ A.discouraging B.specific C.rewarding D.regular 4、What is mainly discussed in the passage? A.Schools should prepare students for the real life. B.What students learn in school should be practiced in life. C.Life experience is of greater importance than school education. D.Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.The term, culture shock, describes the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to The feeling of culture shock do, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when coming to live in another country or place.

For example, communication difficulties may occur such as not being understood. There may be feelings of discontent, anger, sadness, and feeling incompetence. This happens when a person is trying to adapt to a new culture. Transition (过渡) between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. One may start to feel a certain psychological balance. The new arrival may start to have a feeling of direction and want to belong. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. The person has a more solid feeling of belonging and starts to set goals for living. This occurs when a return to the The fifth stage is called the " re-entry shock". country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly acquired customs are not in use in the old culture. Many factors (因素) contribute to the length and effects of culture shock. For example, the individual's state of mental health, type of personality, previous experiences, familiarity with the language, and level of education. So the five stages are present at different times and each person has their own way of reacting. 64. What do we learn about culture shock? 5、What do we learn about culture shock?

This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to do, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. The feeling of culture shock generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place.We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when coming to live in another country or place. Often, the way that we lived before is not accepted as or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use ba nking machines and so forth.Although one can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for resetting one' s life objectives. It is a great opportunity for learning and acquiring new viewpoints. Culture shock can make one develop a better understanding of oneself.Culture shock has many stages. The first stage is called the "honeymoon" stage. The new arrival may feel excited as everything is new.In the second stage, a person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur such as not being understood. There may be feelings of discontent, anger, sadness, and feeling incompetence. This happens when a person is trying to adapt to a new culture. Transition (过渡) between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete.The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. One may start to feel a certain psychological balance. The new arrival may start to have a feeling of direction and want to belong.In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. The person has a more solid feeling of belonging and starts to set goals for living.The fifth stage is called the " re-entry shock". This occurs when a return to thecountry of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly acquired customs are not in use in the old culture.Many factors (因素) contribute to the length and effects of culture shock. For example, the individual' s state of mental health, type of personality, previous experiences, familiarity with the language, and level of education. So the five stages are present at different times and each person has their own way of reacting. 64. What do we learn about culture shock?64. What do we learn about culture shock?A.

The main purpose of the passage is to________A. discuss and clarifyB. argue and adviseC. introduce and explainD. compare and evaluateDCertainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children's lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character' s parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an "A" on his spelling test. She replied, "That' s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. " It was funny --- but TRUE ! I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works - the credit card isn't free money - you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this - they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.Choosing a career (职业) is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It' s not that she didn' t know what she wanted to do. What she "wanted to do" and the degree she chose did not match.I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven' t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience - maybe two or three courses m areas of interest in high school that give them a "feel" for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.67. Why does the author mention the movie Easy A?A. To prove the importance of book learning.B. To show the parents' ignorance of spelling.C. To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.D. To share with the readers his feeling about the movie.68. The author believes thatA. students need to focus on the skills in learningB. parents and school should be consistent in educationC. his daughter is smart enough to make her own choiceD. courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students69. The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 6 probably means_____A. discouragingB. specificC. rewardingD. regular70. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Schools should prepare students for the real life.B. What students learn in school should be practiced in life.C. Life experience is of greater importance than school education.D. Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. ___71__ It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm.It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor.

And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking?
