AOne evening last summer, when I asked my 17 - year - old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response surprised me, “What's a colander（漏勺）？”he asked.I could only blame myself. Nobody's hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn't prepared Ray for.As parents, while we focus on our child's confidence and character, we perhaps don't always consider that we are also raising someone's future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that I had raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What's for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economic course.I was delighted to find that he didn't say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned(给….调味）a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust（馅饼皮）and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.I knew that he.would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother-- he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of his fixing his own shirt very attractive--- but it couldn't be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. He came to understand why I asked him to do so：“I appreciate more what you do as a mom.' he told me one day.Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there's nothing masculine（男子气的）about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too. That's what I call a man.21. When hearing the question "What' s a colander?" the authorA. was angry at her son's ignoranceB.intended to blame the educational systemC. was happy that her son got interested in cookingD. intended to instruct her son more in housekeeping22. From the passage, we can leam that Ray _________.A. preferred sewing to cookingB. made great progress in cookingC. resisted taking the course at firstD. thought it attractive to do housework23. The underlined part "more than just housekeeping" shows that Ray _ .A. fell in love with houseworkB. did other work in the houseC. began to be more independentD. acknowledged the author' s efforts24.The reason why the author teaches her son to do some cooking is that .A.she wants him to be a-good cook.B. she finds he is interested in cookingC. she cares -about both her son and everyday houseworkD. she wants him to be independent and helpful for othersBExperience the Colorado River the Hualapai Way !River Runners offers the ONL Y OneDay Whitewater tripANYWHERE at the GRAND CANYON!Since 1973, Hualapai River Runners has been conducting whitewater rafting (溧流)journeys on the Colorado River.

There are many fun games and songs that teach children body awareness and encourage them to move their bodies.Simon Says is a great example of such games, as long as you allow all children to continue playing instead of removing children who do not follow the directions correctly. Children who do not follow the directions correctly are generally the very ones that need to play the game most. Each time you call out an instruction - touch your toes/raise your arms/ tap your head - the children are mentally relating the name of the body part to their own bodies.Do you remember the game Statue, or maybe you call it Freeze? The teacher plays music, and when the music stops, the children 'freeze'. To add an element of learning about body parts, add this instruction: When the music stops, you freeze except for the body part that I call out when the music stops. So if you call " Hands", everyone should freeze except for their hands, which should be moving. Children love this variation of the game, and it teaches them to listen and learn body parts.Listening to songs also helps teach children's body awareness. One of the songs is If You're Happy and You Know It. Although the standard refrains (副歌曲调) tell you to" clap your hands" and " stamp your feet", you can try lots of fun verses: wiggle your fingers, pull your ears, knock your knees and touch your head, etc.Children enjoy guessing games, too. Try giving clues about which body part you are describing. For example, "I am thinking about a body part that I smell with. It is right under my eyes and right over my mouth. What am I thinking about?" To help thinking and language skills, encourage children to make up the clues for a body part.Children should enter school with a basic understanding of their bodies. Children programs can promote this understanding by including develop-mentally appropriate and fun activities into curriculum that teach children about their amazing bodies !28. The reason why children don't follow the directions correctly is that they _______.A. are not clever enoughB. can' t pay attention wellC.have good body awarenessck body awareness29. Which of the following games could possible be beneficial to thinking and speaking?A. Listening to songs.B.Guessing games.C. Simon Says.D. Statue or Freeze.30. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Statue or Freeze can add element of leaming about body ptuts.B. Simon Says helps children relate names to their body parts easily.C. Listening to songs can only help children move their hands and feet.D. Guessing games is a good way for children to make up clues for body parts.31. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to tell us ________.A. why body awareness is important for children.B.which game is best for children' s body awarenessC. how we can help children leam before going to school .D. what activities are good for children' s body awarenessDDreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze (逃宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried, making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.For the first 90 minutes of a five - hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams after sleep and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.Stickgold, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) , wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving during sleep.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn' t help a person learn, it' s the other way around. He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time,which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams, show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn' t take a nap, didn't show the same improvement.32. Before having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to____.A. stay in a.different place in the maze.B.designa virtual maze which is difficult to get through.C.experience the experiment and try to remember somethingD. get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place33. What can we leam from the text?A. Participants who took a nap were required to express their thoughts.B. Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.C. Participants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.D. Participants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster.34. According to Stickgold,_________.A. every person may dream about what they learnedB. people's brain processes may still be connected with their leaming in their dreamsC. once people's eyes stop moving, they are sure to dream about somethingD. no matter how fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with people's life35. What is the best title for this text?A. Dreams Are StrangeB.Not All Dreams Are TrueC.Dreaming Makes PerfectD. Stickgold, a Dream Expert第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
