A
On the whole, it’s not something we shout about，but one in four of us does it. Hiring private tutors for our children is now widespread. And this year，as always，the Easter holidays will be peak time for tutor demand.
“My husband and I tried to tutor her at home，but we found all our knowledge was out of date and we were only confusing Zarreen. We also tried a group revision course but all the children were sitting exams for different boards (入学考试)。

On the whole，we think one to one tuition works best and it is worth the money. In our case, Preeta is like an elder sister to Zarreen and that's the most important，” says Ashan Sabri from London, whose daughter Zarreen，18，is having tuition in biology and chemistry in preparation for A.levels this summer。

In fact，Preeta Datta is only six years older than her pupil and she is
happy to provide extra tui tion through mobile phone. “Zarreen will call me two or three times a week with a question about biology or chemistry，and that’s fine with me，” says Datta。

The real question is:does tutoring do any good？
“It’s not the magic bullet,” says educator Judith Ireson. “It’s still up to the child to do the learning。

If he or she isn’t interested, then sending them to a private tutor won’t do any good。

”
In this case，it’s time to break open the Champagne? “Not necessarily,” says Elaine Tyrrell, head of a private sch ool.
“While we recommend private tutoring for children whose first language isn’t English，we don’t encourage it for the others，” says Tyrrell。

“With the level of education they get here，children really ought to be able to pass the entrance exams. Besides，our biggest worry is that they might just get in with the help of last minute tutoring, but, once they get to that school, they won’t be able to manage。

”
It’s a point really worth considering。

After all, who would want our child to stay at the bottom of the class?
1．The passage is most probably written by________.
A．a parent

Learning an instrument can help children improve their linguistic （语言的) skills，and may even help people recover from memory loss after brain injury, researchers have found.
These are the findings of a study by psychologists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the journal Neuropsychology.
The study found that children who undergo music training have better recall of words than those who have none。

And the longer their period of music training, the more words they recall。

Led by psychologist，Dr Agnes Chan，the team studied a group of 90 schoolboys, aged 6 to 15，half of whom received music training in their school’s orchestra (乐队）for between one and five years。

The other half had no training.
The boys were all tested for verbal memory by reading them a list of words and asking them to remember as many as possible 10 minutes after the test，and the 30 minutes after。

They were then shown a series of images, and asked to recall these。

Each student was tested three times.
The team found that students with music training recalled more words than the untrained students。

After 30 minutes, they still keep more words in mind than the control group。

In addition, there was a positive connection between the length of time the students had been learning and how well they remembered words:the longer they had been in training, the more words they recalled。

But there were no differences between the two groups in recalling images。

How does music help a child to remember words？Chan believes that learning music encourages the development of the part of the brain which is responsible for verbal memory.
When it comes to music training，it is not the instrument or the type
of music but the actual process of learning that helps verbal training，said Chan。

She believes the finding could be the basis of a new approach to helping people with memory loss following brain injury.
5．According to the study，the students who have learned an instrument for ________ years can remember more words。

A．one B．two
C．four D．five
解析：选D 细节判断题。

由第三段的最后一句“And the longer their period of music training，the more words they recall."可知。

Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success。

In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature，again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.
As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university —an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance。

The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with。

The second was its controversial nature —not every student like being ranked based on their appearance。

The third was its huge resource use —while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network。

Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down，but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”，which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States，whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.
The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg
has remained true to his initial vision - to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world's biggest online businesses。

Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty.first century’s most influential，controversial，and potentially powerful figures。

A．was often praised by teachers for the website he created
B．had good academic performance
C．alone created a website called Facebook
D．encouraged students to set up business like him
解析:选B 细节理解题。

根据第一段第二句可知，他学生时期在学术方面表现得很优秀.故B项正确。

10．The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that ________.
A．his website was not popular
B．he was doubted for the way he used photographs
C．he needed time to reconsider his choice
D．he stole resource on Harvard server
解析:选B 细节理解题。

根据第三段第二句可知，原因可能是大家因他使用照片的方式而对其产生质疑.故B项正确。

11．Which words can best describe Zuckerberg？
A．Easy。

going and smart.
B．Quiet and shy。

C．Talented and outgoing.
D．Rebellious and creative.
解析：选D 细节理解题.根据第二段可知,他很叛逆;根据他创建了网站可知，他也具有创造性。

故D项正确.
12．The best title of the passage should be ________.
A．Mark Zuckerberg and His Facebook
B．The Foundation of Facebook
C．A Talent from Harvard University
D．The Development of Facebook
解析：选A 标题归纳题。

纵观全文可知,本文主要介绍了Mark
Zuckerberg在上学期间的突出表现以及他创建网站的过程.A项“Mark Zuckerberg和他的Facebook"概括了文章大意,适合做标题。

故A项正确。

D
(新课标全国卷Ⅱ)One of the latest trends （趋势）in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford，Conn, for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004。

And that’s true all across the country.
“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2。

yea r­old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared by a 25­year.old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots. “Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触）the language and culture，" she says。

“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，" says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children。

“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”
The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese。

It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years。

错误!
13．What does the term “au pair” in the text mean？
A．A mother raising her children on her own。

B．A child learning a foreign language at home。

C．A professor in language education of children.
D．A young foreign woman taking care of children.
选D 词义猜测题。

结合语境可知au pair指的是在国外寄居的人，他们帮助房东照看孩子甚至学习语言换取免费食宿，又称互惠生.
14．Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them
________.
A．to live in China some day
B．to speak the language at home
C．to catch up with other children
D．to learn about the Chinese culture
解析：选D 细节理解题。

依据第三段第二句中的“’Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to （接触) the language and culture’"得知他们这样做的目的是让孩子接触到中国文化。

15．What can we infer from the text?
A．Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B．Educated woman do better in looking after children。

C．Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.
D．Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.
解析：选A 推理判断题。

依据最后一段尤其是最后一句“It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.”可推断在美国学习汉语热潮会继续高涨。

honor for her dedication to easing human suffering and earned the nickname “Angel of the Battlefield。
