四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
One of the hottest buzzwords in China right now is no doubt tuhao, a sarcastic, light-hearted term referring to rich people of little education, bad taste or lacking self-awareness.
This is yet another example of smart Chinese Internet users applying their creativity to an aged phrase and giving it new life and meaning. The term, which literally mea ns “country bully”, has been around since ancient times, when it was used to refer to rich and powerful rural landlords who defied laws and maltreated their peasants. In the age of class struggle, tuhao were among the worst enemies of the working class.
However, the meaning of the word changed significantly when it was adapted a few years ago by Chinese players of the wildly popular computer game World of Warcraft to refer to rich players who spend big money buy ing powerful virtual weapons. Because they don’t improve their skills by playing, these players are considered silly, uncultured, and unprofessional.
But that is not the end of tuhao’s new life story. The renewed popularity of the term also coincides with the emergence of the Chinese “nouveau riche” —a generation of businessmen and women, property owners and entrepreneurs who have rapidly amassed large amounts of wealth in recent years.
Similar to the many rags-to-riches stories in human history, many Chinese billionaires who are on the global rich list do not come from well-educated or prestigious backgrounds. Rather, they achieved financial success through powerful connections, smart investments, and by riding out China’s economic miracle. Many of them don’t shy away from throwing their money around.
As we read stories in the i nternational and Chinese media of rich Chinese investors snatching up red-hot property in Manhattan, London, and Paris, or raising eyebrows at international auction houses, we are often reminded of their lack of manners, taste and cultural sensitivity.
As a result, a term that was popularized in the gaming world has now also been introduced into daily conversation. Now, the term is widely considered to mean “vulgar, tasteless, rich people”.
Trendy, young Internet users, who see themselves as the opposite of tuhao — not wealthy, but well-educated and cultured — have further popularized the term by using it in various comic situations.
When Apple released its much anticipated iPhone 5S in September, Chinese Internet users accurately predicted the immense popularity of the new golden-colored models among Chinese consumers, and named it “tuhao Gold”, to mock the taste of rich Chinese people.
56. Which of the following sentences is true according to the article?
A. The meaning of the t erm “tuhao” has always kept the same throughout history.
B. Although having little education, a person who is looked up to can be called tuhao.
C. Many Chinese billionaires chieve success with the help of the government.
D. IPhone 5S is named “tuhao Gold” to laugh at the taste of some rich Chinese people.
57. What does the word “vulgar”(paragraph 7) mean?
A. polite
B. elegant
C. badly-behaved
D. popular

The family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling a little blue on that Sunday in May. After all, it was Mother's Day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in Ohio.
She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. Later, she told her husband how she missed those lilacs(紫丁香) in he r parents’ yard, "I know where we can find you all you want," he said. "Get the kids and come on."
So off they went, driving the country roads of northern Rhode Island on the kind of day only mid-May can produce. Where they stopped，dense thickets of cedars and junipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. There wasn't a lilac bush in sight.
"Come with me," the man said. "Over that hill is an old cellar hole，from somebody's farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. The man who owns this land said I could poke around here anytime. I'm sure he won't mind if we pick a few lilacs."
Some time later, they reached the top of the hill and there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes.With a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled. Then she carefully chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husband's pocket knife. She was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure.Finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. While the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.
When they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, "Stop the car. Stop right here!" The man slammed on the brakes. Before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. At the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.
The young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. Across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. She lifted her head, and smiled. For a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. As the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.
"Mom," the kids asked, "who was that? Why did you give her our flowers? Is she somebody's mother?" The mother said she didn't know the old woman. But it was Mother's Day，and she seemed so alone，and who wouldn't be cheered by flowers? "Besides," she added，"I have all of you, and I still have my mother, even if she is far away. That woman needed those flowers more than I did."
This satisfied the kids, but not the husband. The next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.
I was that man. The young mother was, and is, my wife. Now, every May, our own yard is full of lilacs. Every
Mother's Day our kids gather purple bouquets. And every year I remember that smile on a lonely old woman's face, and the kindness that put the smile there.
61. Why did the young woman feel a little unhappy that day?
A. Because she forgot it was Mother’s Day.
B. Because it was Mother’s Day and she was away from her parents.
C. Because they had just moved to a faraway place.
D. Because she missed those lilacs in her parents’ yard.

Given all the heated debates about how America's children should be taught, it may come as a surprise to learn that students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While there's no doubt that school is important, a series of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study,for example, finds that parental involvement—checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home—has a more powerful influence on students' academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, reports that the effort put forth by parents has a bigger impact on their children's educational achievement than the effort devote d by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement .
So parents matter a lot—a point made clear by decades of research showing that a major part of the academic advantage held by children from wealthy families comes from the “concerted cultivation（协作培养）of children” as compared to the more laissez-faire style of parenting common in working-class families. But this research also reveals something else: that parents, of all backgrounds, don't need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an edge. They don't need to chauffeur their offspring to enrichment classes or test-prep courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.
But not just any talk. Although well-known research by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley has shown that professional parents talk more to their children than less-affluent parents—a lot more, resulting in a 30 million “word gap” by the time children reach age three—more recent research es are raising our sense of exactly what kinds of talk s at home contributed to children's success at school. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as effective in promoting language development as interludes in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter. As they grow older, this feeling helps middle- and upper-class kids develop into confident supporters for their own interests, while working-class students tend to avoid asking for help or arguing their own case with teachers, according to a research presented at American Sociological Association conference earlier this year.
The content of parents' conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, which predicts future
achievement in the subject. Psychologist Susan Levine, who led the study on number words, has also found that the amount of talk young children hear about the spatial properties of the physical world—how big or small or round or sharp objects are—predicts kids’ problem-solving abilities as they prepare to enter kindergarten.
While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. And again, the way mothers and fathers talk to their middle-school students makes a difference. Research by Nancy Hill, a professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, finds that parents play an important r ole in what Hill calls “academic socialization”—setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals (going to college, getting a good job). Engaging in these sorts of conversations, Hill reports, has a greater impact on educational accomplishment than volunteering at a child's school or going to PTA meetings, or even taking children to libraries and museums. When it comes to promot ing students’ success, it seems, it’s not so much what parents do as what they say.
65. The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______________.
A. Teaching methods are vital to students in the USA
B. schooling is necessary for American students
C. parents affect their children’s achievement greatly
D. schools have paid more money to get the same results as parental involvement
66. From the second paragraph we can know that in the USA _______ .
A. children from rich families may have more academic advantages
B. working-class parents tend to talk to their children more
C. wealthy families tend to adopt laissez-faire style of parenting
D. parents have many ways to give their children an advantage
67. What is the most effective talk between parents and children in improving language
development?
A. Professional parents’ t alk.
B. Two-way conservation.
C. Adults talking all the time.
D. Children speaking as interludes.
68. How are the second and third paragraphs developed?

Globetrotting（环游世界）by Blogs：No Passport Required！
How do you motivate your students to become excited about writing？Do you wonder how to help them think more critically about literature, global issues, or multiple perspectives? Are you looking for an easy way to engage students in 21st century learning? If any of these questions have crossed your mind, introduce your
students to a cultural exchange with blogs.
Blog is short for web log, an easily editable web space that is often compared to a shared digital diary or journal. Bloggers create posts that highlight personal experiences, state opinions, or describe events. Posts can include text, photos, images, and videos. Each entry is time stamped in chronological (按时间顺序排列的）order with the most recent post appearing first. Blogs can be individual or collaborative （协作的）with either private or public settings for viewing and participation.
Blogs provide a unique platform to open students ’ writing up to authentic audiences beyond the teacher, classroom, and local community. Even our youngest students can compose comments on a blog! Blogs also support the development of higher order thinking and 21st century literacy skills. Students are introduced to multiple perspectives as they share their own thoughts and ideas about a given topic. Additionally, students who rarely contribute during class discussions are given a voice through the use of blogs.
The most exciting way to use blogs is to partner with classrooms in other parts of the world. This helps students develop cultural understanding and global awareness. For younger students, this type of cultural blog exchange can be set up as a class-to-class blog in which the teacher guides the students in a shared writing experience to develop each blog post. For older students, a student-to-student blog exchange provides an opportunity for your students to have their own “pen pal ” to whom they can write via the blog.
First, if you ’re new to blogs, join the new IRA social network, Engage, and check out the teacher-to-teacher blogs （/blogsnb-sphb-sp/browseblogs/). In this blog community, you can read a variety of blogposts and leave comments. In doing so, you would be adding your voice to a literacy community while getting a feel for blogging! You might then start your own blog to better understand the way blogs are organized and to become familiar with blog features.
Next, review the HOT Blogging Framework, which helps scaffold students as they develop their blogging skills. Identify curricular areas that you would like to integrate into your students ’ blogs. Aside from literacy skill development, blogs are a great way for students to acquire and expand content knowledge in a variety of subjects. Finally, don ’t forget to provide your students with lessons on Internet safety, digital citizenship, and netiquette （网上礼仪）to ensure respectful social interactions.

As more and more Chinese tourists travel abroad, some of their behavior is raising eyebrows. According to the latest 2012 LivingSocial survey, Chinese tourists were recently ranked second behind US citizens in a global poll of the worst travelers.
Liu Deqian, researcher and deputy director of the Tourism Research Center at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Chinese visitors often lack an awareness of being polite or behaving appropriately. “On their first or second time abroad, Chinese visitors tend to forget that they are visiting other people’s homeland and overlook the manners of their hosts,” he said.
Zhang Guanren, 28, who helped organize package tours to Australia, observed that on international flights, the first passengers to stand up and reach for luggage while the plane is still landing are often Chinese. “Ou r compatriots (同胞) seem to lack patience, and they’re forever in a rush to do things and fear lagging behind others.”
Some disregard (漠视) rules in local wildlife parks: They disturb koalas in their natural habitats by touching them, even though the lo cal guide has warned them against doing so. “This is far from being eco-friendly,” said Zhang.
