(A)In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new sill—the first spoen words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage.A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early; a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he nows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for him.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and ecuse it the net is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realie that "eample is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to thin for themselves, and realie they have been to some etent fooled.A sudden awareness of a mared difference between their parents' principles and theirmorals can be a dangerous disappointment.21. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new sills _________.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will mae the child lose interest in learning new things22. In the process of children’s learning new sills, parents ________.A. should encourage them to read before they now the meaning of the wordsthey readB. should epect a lot of the childrenC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving themon their ownD. should create as many learning opportunities as possible23. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls reflect only the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary and are not always for the benefit of the childrenaloneD. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to contro l the children24. The word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________”.A. opinionB. punishmentC. behaviorD. instruction25. In terms of moral matters, parents should __________.A. follow the rules themselvesB. be aware of the huge difference between adults and childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. always ensure the security of their children(B)Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studiedthe piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thins about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amaed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realie that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me — I hear the notes and can bear them in mind — each and every note.” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amaing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, “It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't now what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.26. What is special about Samuel Osmond? _________A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? _________A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thins of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4? __________A. He became famous during a special event at his college.B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? _________A. The qualities of a musicianB. The story of a musical talentC. The importance of early educationD. The relationship between memory and music(C)No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little roc ‘n’ roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I thin what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocs. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large picup truc. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocs to the pyramid site fromabout one ilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian worers slid the blocs along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect worers first would have put the blocs on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To mae the wor easier, worers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thins there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realied. That, he notes, should mae a bloc of stone a lot easier to roll than a square.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-ilogram stone bloc. That action turned the bloc into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the bloc on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the bloc and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the bloc along different inds of paths. They calculated that rolling the bloc required about as much force as moving it along a slippery path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocs, but he thins rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, worers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.31. It’s widely believed that the stone blocs were moved to the pyramid site by ________.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles32. The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means________.A. made the path wetB. made the path hardC. made the path wideD. made the path slippery33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refers to? _________A. Rolling the blocs with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocs on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocs.D. Rolling the blocs with fat.34. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West? _________A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling wor can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.35. What is the tet mainly about? _________A. An eperiment on ways of moving blocs to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocs to the pyramid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocs to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocs to the pyramid site.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
