An independent young manBMany parents take on the role of being their children’s preschool teacher and the responsibility of readying them for kindergarten. To achieve this goal, it is important for parents to introduce a variety of subjects in a positive and playful manner.“Learning should not be f orced,” says Marion Godwin, who has taught first grade in Moorestown, N. J. fo r more than 30 years.“ It should be taught according to what they know and do best—and that is‘play’. When teaching them, play games and have fun with the subject. And parents should always be looking for‘teachable moments’.”“You want a child to be a lifelong learner, so you want to show them learning is everywhere,” she says.” If parents take the time to lay a strong educational foundation, theirchildren will keep building on it.”Introduce children to science with hands-on activities that interest them, such as growing plants from seeds, discussing animals and how to care for pets, and observing the chemical changes that occur during cooking”, she says.“Sorting activities, simple patterns and counting games are a great way to teach children the basics of math, and taking them on field trips, singing songs and reciting rhymes also are ways to prepare them for the first day of school”, she says.“I think children are naturals when it comes to computers, ”she says.“Let them play educational games on the computer and teach them how to type their first names using the keyboard. When they are more familiar with using the computer, let them find pictures of animals and places on the w eb. ”“Don’t criticize the child, ”she says.“You can’t force them to lea rn something. If they don’t get something right, so what? Smile and be happy and make the experience joyful. Parents need to understand that if a child gets something wrong, they may think something is wrong with them. Keep working with them and when they get the right answer make sure you tell them how hard they worked to get the correct answer. ”51. What’s the best title of the passage?A. How to prepare your children for kindergartenB. Learning should not be forcedC. How to be a lifelong learnerD. Learning is everywhere52.

When the children make some mistakes, parents should .A. be angry and criticize themB. be happy and let them aloneC. force them to correct themD. remain positive and offer helpCThe increase in tuition fees has led to a“clear drop”in the number of English students applying for university places this autumn. There are 15,000 “missing”applicants this academic year, according to the Independent Commission on Fees. Chairman Will Hutton said:“We’re asking our young men and women to have more debt than any other country in the world—it’s higher than the average debt in the US. It’s not clear whether those lost students this year will return next year, or if it’s a st orm waming of a worrying trend.”But the commission’s re port says there does not seem to be an impact on poorer communities. The commission found there was no significant change in the application rate to the key universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge. The decline in England has not been mirrored in other parts of the UK where fees have not been raised, and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population. Students from Scotland attending Scottish universities do not pay fees, while the Welsh Assembly says it will pay fees above ￡3,465 for Welsh students attending UK institutions.The average tuition fee at English universities this year is ￡8,385, rising to ￡8,507 next year. UK and EU students have access to government-backed loans to pay the fees. And the survey of 1,000 pupils aged 15-18, carried out this April, found that the majority expected to go on to higher education as people continue to understand that university remains a good long term investment in their future.A spokeswoman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which is responsible for universities, said:“Students shouldn’t be f orced to put off going to university for financial reasons. Most students will not have to pay in advance, and no one will have to start paying back their student loan until they start to earn at least ￡2l,000 per year.”56. From the first paragraph, we know that .A. it’s a trend that English student s are dropping out of schoolB. many English students are missing the final examinationsC. the lost English students will find their way backD. the rising tuition fees have a great effect on English students57. Why is there still a drop of applicants vihere fees have not been raised?A. Because the students live in poor communities.B. Because there are less young students in the area.C. Because education is free for Scottish students.D. Because Welsh students will pay fees above ￡3,465.58. What’s the students’ attitude to universities in the survey?A. They will stop applying for university places this autumn.B. They feel universities takes up too much time.C. Most of them are willing to go to university.D. They are anxious to go to a key university.59. The spokeswoman in the last paragraph advises students to .A. put off going to universityB. reduce the anxiety about the rising feesC. pay for the fees in advanceD. pay back their loan soon aller graduation60. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Higher fees worry the studentsB. The higher education, the better futureC. More students are in debtsD. The govemment is helping the studentsDChinese writer Mo Yan’s N oble Prize for Literature on Sunday might set off an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles being translated into English. Chinese literature has already attracted international attention, but experts say translation remains a barrier.“Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already.”says Michel Hockx, professor of University of L ondon. “ It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their work outside China and to interact with readerships abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in Chinese language and Chinese culture.”Hockx adds: “We need more good translators, especially f oreign translators, who know good Chinese and can translate the work into their own languages in a way that foreign readers will appreciate and understand.”L ondon’s inde pendent literary agent Toby Eady, who represents many Chinese writers, including Yu Dan, met Mo about 15 years ago in China. But Eady says:” I still think Mo Yan’s writing—and, to an extent, all Chinese writing—are not truly understood by Western readers because a part of Chinese literature is lost in translation. The translator has done a good job in translating Mo’s work, but the variety o f Chinese vocabulary doesn’t welltranslate into English.”University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says:” The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit (不足) between China and its international counterparts (对应物) —in particular, China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way around—and reading Chinese literature is an effective means of narrowing that gap.”61. One of the reasons why Chinese literature has been accepted globally is that .A. more Chinese writers can express themselves in English freelyB. Chinese visitors are enjoying more chances to go abroadC. the westerners have become more interested in Chinese literatureD. more western readers can interact with each other62. What Hockx adds can be considered as the a good translator.A. value ofB. standard ofC. praise forD. complaint about63. Though Mo Yan is very successful, .A. his work was not fully enough translatedB. people still misunderstand him when reading his workC. Yu Dan did a still better job than himD. To by Eady doesn’t think so highly of him64. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. Margaret Hillenbrand lacks the knowledge of Chinese literatureB. reading Chinese literature is a good way to promote translationC. Chinese is too profound for westerners to understandD. Europe and America know much more about China65. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Mo Yan won Noble Prize for Literature.B. Chinese literature has attracted international attention.C. Chinese novels are being translated into English.D. Chinese literature needs still better translators.EKiss crisis, hug horrors and the UK's handshake headachesGreeting someone, saying goodbye –these situations fill me with unease. You have a second to make a dangerous decision. One peck (轻吻)? Two pecks? Three? No kisses at all? Why, I think, as I crash into the other pers on’s face, why can’t it be as simple as a handshake?A survey by the soap company Radox in May showed one in five Brits （英国人）now feels a handshake is “too formal”, according to the Daily Mail. Some 42 percent said they never shook hands when greeting friends. For one third of people the alternative（替换物）was a hug, for 16 percent a kiss on the cheek.British people are known to be reserved (保守的) –unfriendly, some would say. Handshakes used to work for us because we didn’t have to get too close. But the super-British handshake is no longer fashionable. We want to be more like our easygoing Mediterranean neighbors who greet each other with kisses and hugs.The trouble is, we still find it a bit awkward. What does a married man do when greeting a married female friend, for example? How should someone younger greet someone older?Guys don’t tend to kiss one another; my male friends in Britain go for the “manly hug”, taking each other stiffly (不自然地) in one arm and giving a few thumps（重击）on the back with words like “Take it easy, yeah?”.The biggest questions, if you do decide to kiss, are how many times and which cheek first. Unlike the French, who comfortably deliver three, our cheek-pecks usually end in embarrassed giggling (咯咯笑): “Oh, gosh, sorry, I didn’t mean to kiss you on the lips, I never know where to aim for first!”But then it’s never been easy for us poor, uncomfortable Brits. Even the handshake had its problems: don’t shake too hard, but don’t hold the other person’s hand too limply (无力地) either, and definitely don’t go in with sweaty hands.Maybe it’s better to leave it at a smile and a nod.66. What is the article mainly about?A. Origin of the traditional British way of greeting someone.B. New trends and problems that Brits have with the way they greet people.C. Why the author feels uneasy when greeting someone or saying goodbye.D. Differences in greetings between Britain and other Western countries.67. What did the survey by the soap company Radox show?A. It is now considered unfriendly to greet friends with a handshake in Britain.B. A kiss on the cheek is becoming the most popular form of greeting in Britain.C. Most Brits no longer offer to shake hands with those they meet.D. More and more Brits prefer to be greeted with a hug or kiss.68. The underlined word “awkward” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.A. not helpfulB. too informalC. quite embarrassedD. very interesting69. Which does the author think might be the safest form of greeting for a British person?A. A hug.B. A smile and a nod.C. A handshake.D. A kiss on the cheek.70. Who wrote the article?A. A British writer.B. An American writer.C. A French writer.D. A Chinese writer.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）［1］The striking thing is that even successful innovators (改革者) often failed. Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the Web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cell phone. The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze (迷宫) of wrong turns.［2］“Many of life’s failures,”the supreme innovator said,“are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light, but in only two cases did his experiments work.［3］No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc, attributes some of the company’s successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is: “You only fail when you quit.”［4］Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to.keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he the US $1. 50 to get his shoes from the repair shop.［5］Failure is harder to bear in to day’s o pen, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said unfriendly that the only difference between Geffen Reco rds (Geffen’s company) and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasn’t. After four years of losses, Geffen had so many hits (成功的作品) he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.71. What’s the main idea of the passage?
