will you be with？”“People.”That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.They are breaking away from you so that they’ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children’s closeness.Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks.Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult，they’ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice.But in order to determine who they are right now，they need to separate from you.Your job，however，is to keep them safe—and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate their life and controlthem；it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.When they’re home and sit down to eat a meal，sit down with them.You need to open up to them about your life.Tell them of an interesting incident at the office，let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈)，discuss a piece of news with them.They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life.By letting a teen in on your life，they just may let you in of theirs.56．The underlined word“That”in Paragraph 2 probably refers to“________”．A．teens no longer tell parents their detailed informationB．teens don’t tell parents where they had been any moreC．parents are impatient to listen to their childrenD．parents are occupied by doing their business57．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．the generation gap is becoming wider and widerB．teens quarrel a lot with their parentsC．teens don’t want to live with other family membersD．some parents feel distant from their teenage children58．The author believes that teens’ one－word answers show______.A．their awareness of independenceB．their physical and mental changesC．an unpleasant parent－child relationshipD．their wishes for keeping silent59. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Parents should understand their children.B．Parents should keep their children safe.C．Parents should open their hearts to their children.D．Parents should give their children enough freedom.60．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To give advice. B．To direct teenagers.C．To present findings. D．To comfort parents.BMark Twain’s father，John Clemens，decided to leave the small village of Florida and move to the somewhat larger and more prosperous Hannibal，on the banks of the Mississippi River.However，because of Twain’s poor health，his parents feared he would not survive childhood.During the family’s first few years in Hannibal，Twain was too young to understand fully the changes going on around him.John Clemens，though trained as a lawyer，tried to support his family by running a store and speculating in real estate.When his business failed，Clemens was forced to put off his plan to establish a permanent home for the family.About 1843，Clemens began concentrating on the practice of law，a decision that brought some stability to the family finances and enabled him to have a house built.Construction began in 1843 ，and the family moved into the new house the next year.About the time the family moved into their new home，Twain’s health improved dramatically.Instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life，he could roam the streets of Hannibal，climb the surrounding hills，explore the area’s caves and splash about in local swimming pools.He reveled (作乐) in his newfound freedom，spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader.Twain’s carefree days did not last long.His father used their house as collateral (抵押物) for a friend’s loan，and the creditor took possession when the loan failed.A physician offered to let them live in his home.The Clemens family moved into that house in late 1846.On March 24,1847，John Clemens died.In the same year，his wife and his oldest son，Orion，managed to regain possession of the little house on Hill Street，and the family moved back into it that summer.For the next six years，Twain，his brother Henry，and his sister Pamela lived with their mother in the family.Within a year of his father’s death，Twain quit school and became an apprentice printer，and when his brother Orion bought the Hannibal Journal in 1851，Twain went to work for him as a printer and editorial assistant.The stories he wrote for Orion’s paper taught him that he much preferred writing to typesetting.Thus，when he decided to leave Hannibal in May 1853，he already had an inkling of his future career.61．Which is the possible reason for Twain’s family moving to Hannibal?A．It was a larger and more prosperous place.B．Their house was taken away by a creditor.C．They had lived in the small village too long and wanted to have a change.D．The reason is not mentioned in the passage.62．We learn from the passage that________.A．Twain was strong when his family moved to HannibalB．Twain’s father didn’t want to build a house in HannibalC．Twain was a quiet boy when he was youngD．Twain’s family took back the little house on Hill Street in 184763．How many of Twain’s brothers and sisters are mentioned in the passage?A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.64．We learn from Paragraph 3 that________.A．Twain had to stay at home before his health improvedB．Twain was a born leaderC．Twain’s family moved into the new house in 1843D．Twain’s health had improved long before they moved into the new house65．What’s the meaning of the last sentence?A．He had plans for his future，so he decided to leave Hannibal.B．He found his interest was not in typesetting.C．He decided he would become a writer in the future.D．He didn’t want to work for his brother，so he decided to leave Hannibal.C“I swear，I didn’t steal anything！” I shouted over the alarm.Obviously the security guard didn’t believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand.“Do you have a receipt for this？”he asked doubtfully，putting any new back－to－school outfit (全套装备) onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance.“Of course I do，” I replied，fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket.Elsie and Monica，my two best friends，stood beside me.They were laughing their heads off!I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt，but it had disappeared.“Let me look again，” I said nervously.Then_I_looked_again，and_again，and_again！My_face_was__getting_hotter_by_the_minute，and_my_heart_was_beating_like__a_racehorse.Finally，I looked back at the guard and whispered，“It’s not here.” The guard picked up myclothes and said，“You’ll have to come with me，Miss.”When he opened the office door，I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk.It was the manager.Then I had an idea.“May I say something？”I asked.“I can prove I didn’t steal this thing.”Then I explained all about the cashier (出纳员)．She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday present for her little sister.“We’ll just see about that，” the manager said and went off to find her.Ten minutes later，I was free!It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something！Then I remembered shouting at my sister that very morning for taking my new hair clips.Had she really taken them？I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without proof，and I haven’t.At least something good came out of my terrible experience.66．Why didn’t the security guard believe the author?A．Because she looked nervous at that time.B．Because she had no money in her wallet.C．Because she didn’t have a receipt for the outfit.D．Because her face turned red after being caught.67．That the author’s two friends laughed their heads off showed________.A．they didn’t believe the author was a thief at allB．they laughed at the author who stole thingsC．they expected the author to be caughtD．they played a trick on the author68．We can infer the author was very________from the underlined part in Paragraph 4.A．careful B．nervous C．frightened D．excited69．Who proved that the author hadn’t stolen anything?A．The manager. B．The cashier.C．The author’s friends. D．The security guard.70．From her experience，the author learned that________.A．you should believe in yourself in face of difficultyB．it is a terrible thing to be suspected by friendsC．you should ask for a receipt for whatever you buyD．you should not doubt others if you can’t prove itDEach new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback.Put simply，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight.Most American schools follow a traditional nine－month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation.Some schools follow a year－round calendar.They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between.The National Association for Year－Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count.They were spread among forty－six of the fifty states.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year－round school is generally the same as in a traditional school.Brenda McLaughlin is research director at the National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University.She says studies of year－round schooling have not found strong learning gains.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，“Year－round schools don’treally solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year.”Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.But calling them “summer school” could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood.The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”“extra time” and “hands－on learning”．71．According to the first paragraph，the summer learning gap______.A．helps children to gain weightB．leads children to work harderC．improves children’s memoriesD．affects children’s regular studies72．Compared to traditional schools，students in the year－round ones________.A．perform better and have more learning gainsB．have much less time for relaxation every yearC．have generally the same number of class daysD．hold more classes with more free weeks off73．Which of the following statements is true?A．Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.B．Year－round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.C．There are schools in each state following a year－round calendar.D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation.74．Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”？A．They cherish the children’s rights of freedom very much.B．They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”．C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.D．They can’t afford the further study during the vacation.75．What would be the best title of this passage?A．Opening Summer CampsB．Forbidding Summer SchoolsC．Minding the Summer Learning GapD．Reforming Year－Round Education第Ⅱ卷(共45分)第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)If you can’t get it from your parents or by marrying a wealthy person，then how do you get a million dollars？In America，starting a successful business is the surest path for making a large sum of money.This decision to start a business gets us to a key part of our conversation.There are two ways to work in our economy today.Either you can be someone else’s employee，or you can be the one who employs.You can work for a business，or you can__________________.Now please note that I am not saying that “being an employee” is a bad thing.There are lotsof good reasons to be an employee.For example，being an employee is a great way to learn how a business works so that you can open a business of your own.You simply need to become an employee with that approach in mind.In other words，you work so that you can learn the ropes.Go into the job with the purpose of learning everything you possibly can while someone else pays you to get your education.Many large corporations even make a point of advertising this fact.For example，McDonald’s says on its website，“You’ll be encouraged to grow，learn and develop the broad based skills you’ll need to move up fast—with McDonald’s Corporation，an independent McDonald’s franchise (特许经销商)，or almost any company in the world.Having such experience on your resume (简历) will open eyes，not to mention doors.”And that is true.Compare this to a normal college education and you will realize how great the deal is.When_you_are_in_college，you_pay_to_get_educated，but_when_you_are_an_employee，someone_else_pays_you_to_get_educated.So if you have made the decision to start a business，you will have to work to learn the ropes.If you follow this “start your own business” path，then you are sure to succeed in the end.76．List three ways mentioned in the passage to get a million dollars.(within 15 words)①________________________________________________________________________②________________________________________________________________________③________________________________________________________________________77．Fill

passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?Find a job which will not only teach you the skills you want to learn but also provide you with
