2014年辽宁高考英语试题AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exames than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptops increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were give either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The reseachers’ report said , “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disapears.’’In another experiment aimed at testing long- term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exame.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. Most and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can______.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be__________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to_________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the bebfit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textpaperC. a science magzineD. a finance reportB(Q= Question; A= Answer)Situation ⅠQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will faul t you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.SituationⅡQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.SituationⅢQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: NO. Try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.SituationⅣQ: I f I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened.A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for, “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”SituationⅤQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复)to it?A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly go od lie when thetruth will serve? “Y es,” you can say if ever asked,“I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.25. You will get annoyed in a theater when____.A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him.27. The underlined word “belated” i n Situation Ⅳ probably means___.A. predictedB. returnedC. cancelledD. delayed28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other’s mannersC. Proper manners to offer help to othersD. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“ We didn’t take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly, “ Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could makea huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________.A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. “Mother tress” are extremely important because they________.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G＆G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G＆G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G＆G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person’s success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard-----but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers’ lives. Those courses are, in part, why G＆G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G＆G must ____.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can ____.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G＆G has grown into a large company.B. G＆G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G＆G may become more successful in the future.D. G＆G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources〔资源〕：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide〔二氧化碳〕in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.21. What does the word “this〞 underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.22. It can be inferred from the text thatA. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns23. What might be the best title for the text?A. How to Save RainforestsB. How to Protect NatureC. Rainforests and the EnvironmentD. Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentBThe brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. Itis a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other GulfCoast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way corners, under eaves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned. One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders. There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment (i.e., baseball gloves) and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.24. The author wrote this article to _______.A. announce the result of a research on spidersB. introduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC. report a new finding of the widow speciesD. warn readers against the brown widow25. From the passage we can conclude that _______.A. brown widows are spreading northwardB. the brown widow originated from AfricaC. brown widows now can be found in all countriesD. there used to be no brown widows in North America26. The third paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the brown widow’s web buildingB. the characteristics of the brown widowC. the habitat preferences of the brown widowD. the brown widow’s threaten to human beings27. It can be inferred that _______.A. brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicalsB. at present people can only control brown widow spidersC. the brown widow has more poison than the black widowD. victims bitten by the brown widow needn’t see the doctorCThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United states. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent youngsingers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets da rk at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.28. This passage mainly introduces _______.A. a mountain cityB. young musiciansC. an opera houseD. the tourism in Santa Fe29. Yong singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _______.A. the music quality is highB. they enjoy the climate thereC. they want to be famousD. they like the scenery there30. It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because _______.A. it is only a very small placeB. it is between the mountain and desertC. all the seats are sold for every showD. musicians there are from the best orchestras31. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. the opera house is open without any roofsB. musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC. the government advertises to attract more musiciansD. performances are held in Santa Fe only after it is darkDMy father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.〞 Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.〞He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?〞A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own l etters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ----as mine was until my father’s letter----is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.〞 Nothaving that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.32.

2014年高考英语(辽宁卷)-word版
2014年辽宁高考英语试题AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptops increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were give either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The reseachers’ report said , “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disapears.’’In another experiment aimed at testing long- term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exame.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. Most and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can______.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be__________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to_________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the bebfit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textpaperC. a science magazineD. a finance reportB(Q= Question; A= Answer)Situation ⅠQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will faul t you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.SituationⅡQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.SituationⅢQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: NO. Try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.SituationⅣQ: I f I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened.A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for, “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”SituationⅤQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复)to it?A: D on’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a p erfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “ Y es,” you can say if ever asked,“ I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.25. You will get annoyed in a theater when____.A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him.27. The underlined word “belated” i n Situation Ⅳ probably means___.A. predictedB. returnedC. canceledD. delayed28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other’s mannersC. Proper manners to offer help to othersD. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“ We didn’t take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly, “ Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________.A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. “Mother tress” are extremely important because they________.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G＆G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,”he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G＆G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G ＆G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person’s success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard-----but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers’ lives. Those courses are, in part, why G＆G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G＆G must ____.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can ____.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G＆G has grown into a large company.B. G＆G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G＆G may become more successful in the future.D. G＆G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ANearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board”signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research.One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers.The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board”signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash.“This help can bee negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，”she said.“Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs.Drivers’priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”A survey arranged by price parison website Confused. found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety.But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value.The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’signs.They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，”said a Confused. spokesman.21．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?A．They can be dangerous.B．They are useful to avoid accidents.C．They are weled by passengers.D．They are forbidden to be used.22．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Uninteresting. D．Objective.23．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs_____.A．can improve safety B．are unnecessaryC．can make drivers clear D．can kill time24．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem.B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.C．To tell an interesting story.D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.B“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm.A new book written by a selfdescribed Chinese descent(血统)on her superstrict parenting—BattleHymnoftheTigerMother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent.In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleepover，be ina school play，watch TV or play puter games.They couldn't choose their ownafterclass activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets aB—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7yearold daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life.But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be.For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a petitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the USbasedHeraldnet..“In that sense，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.25．According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua?A．She is an easygoing woman.B．She is an assistant professor.C．She is a demanding parent.D．She is a cruel teacher.26．Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A．Playing the piano.B．Playing the guitar.C．Dating with boys.D．Getting an A minus.27.．Stacy DeBroff advised parents to________.A．seek a better future for their childrenB．develop their own style of parentingC．be strict with their childrenD．follow Amy Chua's parenting style28．Alison Lo concluded that________.A．persistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting styleB．parents should respect children's personalitiesC．a gifted child was born with talentD．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parentingCAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry;“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who e to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.”Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。

use laptops（笔记本电脑）．Students are increasingly using laptops for note﹣taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professors saidIn the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note﹣taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．The researchers'report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"In another experiment aimed at testing long﹣term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．21．More and more students favor laptops for note﹣taking because they can A．A．write more notes

Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it.”Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.

When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29.The underlined sentence “the opposite is true”in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees.30. “ Mother trees” are extremely important because they_______.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31.

What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society.3DTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员) and profits (利润) of over &2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her. Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter, ”he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard---–but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than &10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large companyB. G&G will spend half its profits training employeesC. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ANearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research. One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers.The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend sai d “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash. “This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，” she said.“Worse still is the danger tha t can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”A survey arranged by price comparison website found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs. They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，” said a spokesman.21．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?A．They can be dangerous.B．They are useful to avoid accidents.C．They are welcomed by passengers.D．They are forbidden to be used.22．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Uninteresting. D．Objective.23．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs_____.A．can improve safety B．are unnecessaryC．can make drivers clear D．can kill time24．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem.B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.C．To tell an interesting story.D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.B“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm. A new book written by a selfdescribed Chinese descent(血统)on her superstrict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls. She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent. In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleepover，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldn't choose their own afterclass activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments. She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7yearold daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life.But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be.For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the USbased .“In that sen se，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued. 25．According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua?A．She is an easygoing woman.B．She is an assistant professor.C．She is a demanding parent.D．She is a cruel teacher.26．Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A．Playing the piano.B．Playing the guitar.C．Dating with boys.D．Getting an A minus.27.．Stacy DeBroff advised parents to________.A．seek a better future for their childrenB．develop their own style of parentingC．be strict with their childrenD．follow Amy Chua's parenting style28．Alison Lo concluded that________.A．persistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting style B．parents should respect children's personalitiesC．a gifted child was born with talentD．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parentingCAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to sixfigures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。

than those who use laptops（笔记本电脑）．Students are increasingly using laptops for note﹣taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for wordwhat the professors saidIn the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note﹣taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．The researchers'report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"In another experiment aimed at testing long﹣term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．21．More and more students favor laptops for note﹣taking because they can．A．write more notes B．digest concepts betterC．get higher scores D．understand lectures better22．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be．A．skillful B．mindlessC．thoughtful D．tireless23．The author of the passage aims to．A．examine the importance of long﹣term memoryB．stress the benefit of taking notes by handC．explain the process of taking notesD．promote the use of laptops24．The passage is likely to appear in．A．a newspaper advertisement B．a computer textbookC．a science magazine D．a finance report．25．（8分）（Q=Question；A=Answer）Situation IQ：If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater，is it rude to move？A：Maybe，but nobody will fault you for it．Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you，so he may miss your annoyance．You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room．Forgive his bad judgment，move quietly and enjoy the show．Situation IIQ：If I use the bathroom at a store，do I need to buy something？A：Consider frequency and urgency．Is this a one﹣time or an emergency？If so，you don't have to buy anything，but it would be kind if you did．However，if you regularly use the bathroom at this place，then you are a customer，and you should act like one．Situation IIIQ：If someone is talking loudly on the bus，is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down？A：No．Try other means.1）Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2）Lift your finger in a silence motion（动作）and smile.3）Put on earphones and ignore him．Situation INQ：If I remember my friend's birthday a day late，should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened？A：This is the reason why the word belated was invented．"Happy belated birthday!"is short for："Well，I know I forgot，but then I remembered．Forgive me and happy birthday．"Situation VQ：Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond（回复）toit？A：Don't lie．Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it．Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve？"Yes，"you can say if ever asked，"I saw it．"No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond．25．You will get annoyed in a theater when．A．a person is too activeB．a person is too rude to youC．a person talks too loudlyD．a person sits too close to you26．How will you quiet someone down in a public place？A．By making fun of him continuously．B．By looking purposefully at him．C．By talking to him directly．D．By pointing angrily at him．27．The underlined word"belated"in Situation IV probably means．A．predicted B．returned C．cancelled D．delayed28．What is the passage mainly about？A．Modern ways to mind your manners．B．Different ways to change others'manners．C．Proper manners to offer help to others．D．Good manners to talk to people．29．（8分）Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．"We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．29．The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2probably means that trees．A．compete for survivalB．protect their own wealthC．depend on each otherD．provide support for dying trees30．"Mother trees"are extremely important because they．A．look the largest in size in the forestB．pass on nutrition to young treesC．seem more likely to be cut down by humansD．know more about the complex"tree societies"31．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to．A．how"tree societies"workB．how trees grow oldC．how forestry industry developsD．how young trees survive32．What would be the best title for the passage？A．Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB．Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC．Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD．Trees Contribute To Our Society．33．（6分）Travis is the manager of GG where he is responsible for forty employees （雇员）and profits （利润）of over $2 million per year．He's never late to work．He does not get upset on the job．When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her，Travis took her away．"Your working uniform is your shelter，"he told her．"Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you．You will always be as strong as you want to be．"Travis picked up that lecture in one of his GG training courses，an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation．The training has，Travis says，changed his life．GG has taught him how to live，how to focus，how to get to work on time，and how to master his emotions （情绪）．Most importantly，it taught him willpower．At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all﹣important habit；willpower．Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success．And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit．"Sometimes it looks like people with great self﹣control aren't working hard ﹣but that's because they've made it automatic，"Angela Duckworth，one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said．"Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it．"The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self﹣control．Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to howto make willpower a habit in workers'lives．Those courses arc，in part，why GG has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than 10 billion a year．33．We loam from Paragraph 2that employees in GG must．A．learn to give lecturesB．attend education programsC．design a working uniformD．develop a common hobby34．Willpower will become a habit when employees can．A．focus on the profitsB．benefit from the jobC．protect themselves wellD．control their feeling well35．What can we infer from the passage？A．GG has grown into a large company．B．GG will spend half its profits training employees．C．GG may become more successful in the future．D．GG has to produce more workbooks for managers．第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（10分）Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：•Schedule yearly exams．（36）Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions ofchildren now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．•Protect against UV rays （紫外线）．Long﹣term stay in the sun

other digital products．（38）Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20﹣second break and look at something 20feet away．•（39）As part of a healthy diet，eat more

they have been taught．Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professors saidIn the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note﹣taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．The researchers'report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"In another experiment aimed at testing long﹣term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．21．More and more students favor laptops for note﹣taking because they can A．A．write more notes

Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite istrue：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．"We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．29．The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2probably means that trees C．A．compete for survivalB．protect their own wealthC．depend on each otherD．provide support for dying trees30．"Mother trees"are extremely important because they B．A．look the largest in size in the forestB．pass on nutrition to young treesC．seem more likely to be cut down by humansD．know more about the complex"tree societies"。

ANearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research. One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equiva lent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers. The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend sai d “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash. “This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，” she said.“Worse still is the danger tha t can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”A survey arranged by price comparison website found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs. They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many noveltyitems displayed could be a safety issue，” said a spokesman.21．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?A．They can be dangerous.B．They are useful to avoid accidents.C．They are welcomed by passengers.D．They are forbidden to be used.22．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Uninteresting. D．Objective.23．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs_____.A．can improve safety B．are unnecessaryC．can make drivers clear D．can kill time24．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem.B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.C．To tell an interesting story.D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.B“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm. A new book written by a selfdescribed Chinese descent(血统)on her superstrict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent. In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleepover，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldn't choose their own afterclass activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments. She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7yearold daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life.But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be.For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the USbased .“In that sen se，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.25．According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua?A．She is an easygoing woman.B．She is an assistant professor.C．She is a demanding parent.D．She is a cruel teacher.26．Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A．Playing the piano.B．Playing the guitar.C．Dating with boys.D．Getting an A minus.27.．Stacy DeBroff advised parents to________.A．seek a better future for their childrenB．develop their own style of parentingC．be strict with their childrenD．follow Amy Chua's parenting style28．Alison Lo concluded that________.A．persistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting styleB．parents should respect children's personalitiesC．a gifted child was born with talentD．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parentingCAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.”Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
