AMy mother was a firm supporter of corporal punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked(打屁股)my sisters, and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left me a more lasting memory. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.That day mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to Sears & Roebuck to pay on a Christmas Layaway. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the Layaway Department, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone?”She replied, "Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl maybe Santa will bring it to you. " "But Mama, I want that telephone right now. " Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. "Becky, you can’t have that telephone today, but if you misbehave you can have a spanking. "By now we were standing in the long Holiday line in the Layaway Department, andI figure it was now or never. I lay down on the ground and began screaming, "I want that telephone, " over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, "Becky, you better get up by the count of three or else. One…Two…Three. "Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, "I want a new car, I want a new house, I want some jewelry, I want…" Shocked, I stood up."Mama, stop. Mama get up, " I tearfully requested.She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the Layaway Department, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, "Your mom got you good. I bet you’ll never try that again. "And I didn’t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective then any physical mark.31. From the second paragraph, we can know that .A. It was after ChristmasB. I was very well-behavedC. I liked a red and blue telephoneD. I was a primary school student32. The underlined word “tantrum” can be replaced by .A. disappointmentB. sadnessC. bad temperD. excitement33. Why did the mother scream together with her daughter? .A. She wanted to educate the girlB. She wanted to amuse othersC. She wanted the girl to buy those things for herD. She wanted to embarrass the girl34. What can be inferred from this passage?A. The mother has many fans on educating daughter.B. The mother hit the girl in the Department.C. The mother planned to buy the telephone when the girl first asked.D. The girl is still naughty after this experience.BIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random(r任意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Letit be yours!35. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she .A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom36. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.37. Which of the following statement is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behaviour.C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.CThrow out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health. This new theory argues that healing (the process of becoming healthy and strong again) is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi. These waste our time, something that is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones. We must admit that these methods are veryeffective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some "everyday complaints" such as back pains, headaches, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become dependent on them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money but never get better. How about a safer and more economical (not requiring a lot of money) way of healing? When doing Reiki to yourself, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Also, there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.Some people may still hold that in our material world, everything depends on time. How would it be possible to find time to do Reiki? In fact, Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time. It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.39. The author's attitude towards Reiki is ______.A. disinterestedB. seriousC. positiveD. doubtful40. According to the passage, which of the statements is correct?A. Reiki will soon become the most popular exercise around the world.B. Reiki is an effective treatment but not scientifically explained.C. Reiki can make people less dependent on drugs.D. Reiki is a kind of cheap drug but works well.41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Treating IllnessB. Health and Healing at Your FingersC. The Advantages and Disadvantages of ReikiD. The Advantages and Disadvantages of MedicineDWhe n people introduce themselves, I always hear them say “I’m just a housewife”. I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home? Is income the only mark of being proud of what you are doing and how you are spending your life?How could you be “you are just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your se rvice? Isn’t it surprising that even if your day starts before everyone and ends after everyone, you still don’t feel that you have accomplished（实现）anything? A housewife works for the longest hour, shelling out every responsibility of the house, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, entertaining family and friends, maintaining a pleasant environment at home, remembering things that others have forgotten, looking after each and every requirement of the family members, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and consultant, nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don’t think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection (挚爱) of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it’s time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I ama housewife”. Kick that “just” out.42. W hat is the housewives’ feeling when they say “I’m just a housewife” in the author’s opinion?A.nervous.B. comfortable.C. regretful.D.satisfied.43. According to the author, the true value of the housewives lies in the following EXCEPT _______.A. the harmony of their familyB. family members’ trust inthemC. the stable(稳定的) income of their familyD. the love and affection oftheir family44. What does the author advise housewives to do when they introduce themselves?A. Take care not to make a mistake.B. Pick up self-confidence andpride.C. Try to make others understand their life.D. Understand the importanceof their jobs.45. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of time.B. By offering somequestions.C. By making comparisons (比较).D. By giving examples.第三节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
