AMy three-year-old granddaughter, Tegan, went with her parents to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents. Everyone was having a wonderful time visiting and catching up on all the latest family news.Like most children, Tegan was having a good time playing with all the toys that were different from her own and that were kept for children to play with at her grandparents‟ house. In particular, Tegan had found a little tea set and had begun pretending that she was having a tea party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this …tea‟ that I've been dutifully(忠实地) drinking?" He quietly followed her, without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was stretchin g up on her tippy toes reaching up to get her …tea‟ water -- out of the container of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!1.At the family gathering, the adults __________.A.watched their favorite TV programsB.talked about what happened at homeC.drank tea while chattingD.arranged tables for children‟s games2.Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined phrase “was engrossed in” in Paragraph 2 ?A.got tired of B.got annoyed by C.was absorbed in D.was puzzled at 3.What can be learned from the text ?A.Tegan was unhappy to be left alone at the gathering.B.Tegan‟s father often played with her in games.C.Tegan refused to apologize for what she had done.D.Tegan‟s father cared nothing about what she was doin g.4.Tegan‟s Dad followed her secretly to find out __________.A.whether there was any tea left B.how she made tea so wonderfulC.where she got the sugar for tea D.what kind of tea he had drunkBAre you a saver or a spender?"A penny saved is a penny earned." This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "_________________________" is another way to talk about saving for the future.People who hate to spend money are known as "tightwads," while those who like to get the most value for their money are called "thrifty." A thrifty person is different from a "spendthrift." A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money "like a drunken sailor" or "like there's no tomorrow."In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. These include banks and credit unions. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit(存款证)pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a fine.In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is a group of thirty-four countries. The OECD says in 1990, Americans had a household savings rate of seven percent. This year, that rate is expected to be a little more than four percent and many European countries have higher rates like the UK and France , but Americans save more than families in countries like Japan and South Korea. 5.Which of the following proverbs can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 2?A.Health is wealth.B.Money is a good servant but a bad masterC.Put money away for a rainy day.D.Money doesn‟t grow on trees.6.If you have $10,000, which of the following may help you get higher interest ?A.Choose certificates of deposit for one year.B.Put the money in banks for one year.C.Put the money in credit unions for one year.D.Choose certificates of deposit for one year but withdraw the money ahead of time.7.What does the passage mainly talk about ?A.Different choices of putting money away in the US.B.The importance of saving money.C.How to put money into banks.D.The household savings rate in the US.CMini Book Excerpts(节选)BiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.J. D. Salinger:A Life by Kenneth Slawenski(Random House,$27) Mystery(疑案小说)“You‟re a smart boy. Benny‟s death was no accident, and you‟re the only one who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it ? ”The boy was starting stubbornly at his lap again. A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, “Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn‟t you?” The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly.Red Wolf by Liza Marklund(Atria Books, $25. 99) Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class. Some women 6 are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give ,and so me women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don‟t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won‟t. Some mothers love so their daughters won‟t.You Are Free by Danzy Senna (Riverhead Books,$15) HumorDo your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun? Bring them to Fun Times! Fun Times!‟s“amusement cycling” is the most fun you can have, legally, in the United States right now. Why spend thousands of dollars flying to Disney World when you can spend less than half to that within a day‟s drive lf most cities?Happy And Other Bad Thoughts by Larry Doyle(Ecco,$14. 99)8. If the readers want to know about the life of Salinger , they should buy the book published by?A. EccoB. Atria BooksC. Riverhead BooksD. Random House 9. The book Happy And Other Bad Thoughts is intended for .A. young childrenB. Disney World workersC. middle school teachersD. parents with young children10. Which book describes women with characters of their own?A.Happy And Other Bad ThoughtsB. J. D. Salinger: A LifeC. You Are FreeD. Red Wolf11. After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that .A. the boy helped arrest the murdererB. Benny died of an accidentC. the murderer got away with the crimeD. Annika carried out the crimeDIn 2013, a report from The New England Journal of Medicine showed that increased body weight is related to the death rate for all cancers.This is based on a study involving about 900,000 people, spanning many years.The study, started in 1992 by the American Cancer Society, included men and women from all 50 states.The youngest participants were 30 years old, and the average age was 57.By December 2008, 24% of the participants had died, just a quarter of them from cancers.In analyzing the results, researchers attempted to take account of such potential factors as smoking, drinking alcohol, taking aspirin and a wide variety of other factors that might otherwise affect the results.The results are clear: the more you weigh, the greater your risk of dying of cancer will be (up to 52% higher for men and 62% for women).In men as well as women, the only cancers that did not have a strong connection with weight were lung cancer and brain cancer.For women, the strongest correlation with weight was uterine cancer (子宫癌), which is 6.5 times higher for women with a BMI (Body Mass Index)of 40 or more.For men, it was liver cancer, which is 4.5 times higher in most obese (肥胖的)men.Smokers tend to be more successful in keeping weight off than non-smokers, slightly reducing the risk.But many of them don't have good lungs.Thus, in another way, they also face risks.As for why extra weight leads to excess cancer death rate, there's no clear agreement.But the decrease in vitamin D in obese people seems a likely factor.Vitamin D is known to have a role in preventing cancer.Also, there is a simple fact that obesity makes the management of cancer more difficult.Although for now there is no simple answer to why obesity increases a person's cancer risk, all we know for certain is that the risk is real.12.The passage is mainly concerned with the relationship between _____.A.diet and cancer B.body weight and cancerC.sex and cancer D.smoking and cancer13.The author develops the passage mainly through _____.A.time order B.space order C.analysis and comparison D.figures and examples 14.The underlined word "spanning" in the first paragraph probably means "._____".A.lasting B.including C.happening D.changing15.According to the passage, what can we learn about the study?A.There is a clear explanation concerning why obesity leads to more cancers.B.Generally speaking, women face fewer risks of dying of cancer than men.C.Women with a BMI of 40 dying of uterine cancer are more than other women.D.Smokers are still likely to face risks of dying of cancer though keeping weight off.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。

He 52 as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew I was seeing something53 . I really couldn’t explain all of this, especially his smile. His 54 was magic! About ten minutes into Patrick’s performanc e, someone came on the 55 , saying, “Let’s share a seven-minute video titled The Patrick Henry Hughes story.” Then the lights went out.Patrick was born with no 56 .

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.AEducators have long warned students about posting damaging information online, but now it’s also becoming important to build a positive digital footprint. When should students start building their online character? The earlier, the better.Employers usually use the Internet to find out everything about a potential employee. Photos and information posted online — when a person has his guard down — can be more telling than anything a person writes on a résumé or says in an interview.Job seekers aren’t the only ones who need to maintain a positive Web presence; it may become more important for high school students applying to college. At Tufts University, for example, high school seniors were allowed to submit one-minute videos along with their application packages.“Admissions officials insist the videos are no substitute for a good academic record,”The Boston Globe reported. “They are just another way to identify applicants with a special spark (活力).”Having that “special spark”certainly can’t hurt. Cindy Barr, Elon University assistant dean of admissions, told Lindsay Kimble of The Pendulum, Elon’s newspaper, that she has received applications with links to YouTube videos or student Web sites “created for the business they started or for a service organization they founded.” Although these links “are not assessed as part of the formal admissions decision,” Barr said, “it’s interesting to see what the students have accomplished.”In a lesson plan that can be adapted for grades 6-12, The Learning Network Blog from The New York Times asks students to think about their skills and experience and create two résumés: one traditional and one interactive, using the Web, audio clips, video or slide presentations.How can students create that special spark and make themselves special? Start early. By the time students are in ninth grade, they should be actively creating and sharing content online; to learn to do so well and safely by then, they must start earlier.36. According to the first paragraph, it’s important for a student to .A. build a positive online characterB. post true information about himselfC. keep his online information a secretD. check his email often37. Employers use the Internet to find out information about a potential employee because .A. they can have a wider choice of possible employeesB. it’s quicker and more convenient to find some one onlineC. what people post online tells more about themselvesD. they will learn the possible employees’ opinion about the job38. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that .A. admissions officials care for nothing but a student’s academic recordB. admissions officials also value a student’s practical skillsC. a student’s video has become a must in their application to a universityD. admissions officials are more interested in a student’s video39. How can students make an interactive résumé?A. Add some pictures to their traditional résumé.B. Leave space for comments in their résumé.C. Leave their phone numbers in their résumé.D. Give links to their online videos in their résumé.BThe associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower (割草机) shop like myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”40.

Then answer the questions or complete thestatements in the fewest possible words.What time of day can you think most quickly? Are you a morning person? Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain going? A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help your body’s temperature rise quickly.But everyone’s body clock is different and some are special. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day. Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. P hysical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 pm. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon. Finally, it is best to eat when we’re active. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

Britain?s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys pride of place as the UK?s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,”he says. “But if they?re often drinking it and then go without, they?ll feel tired and won?t work well.” Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our handson them on a cold day; they?re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeine?s doing, I?d say these 24 minutes aren?t wasted.”21. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in people?s life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.22. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _______.A. £400 is lost in working hours for each personB. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day23. What?s Psychologist Coopers? attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Negative.D. Positive.BI suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightenedLooking down I immediately recognized that something was wrong and ran down to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body . Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf a way.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother?s body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻)against the rocky bank Then with a huge effort she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rockJust at this moment she fell back into the river If she were carried down it would be certain death I knew as well as she did ,that there was one spot(地点)where she could get up the bank but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf While I was wondering what I could do next I heard the sound of a mother?s love Ma Shwe。

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. We learn from the text that the author .A. lost his father when he was youngB. worked hard before he read his father’s letterC. asked his father permission to believe in himselfD. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do33. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?A. Children need their parents’ letters.B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.C. His children’s fear of failure held them back.D. His father’s letter removed his fear of failing his parents.34. Which of the following is true of the author?A. He got no access to success.B. He wrote back to his father at 12.C. He was sure his parents loved him.D. He once asked his father about the letter.35. The main purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe children’s thinkingB. answer some questions children haveC. stress the importance of communicationD. advise parents to encourage their children第二节〔共5小题;每一小题2分,总分为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优选项。

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)。

While that’s quite the accomplishment, what comes next is truly 1 : she’s going to Harvard University in the fall.Dawn grew up in a less-than-ideal situation, to say the least. Her house had no 2 or running water, so she was forced to do her homework in the dark and go days, even weeks, without 3 . She lived with parents who abused drugs.At Burns, Dawn was 4 to Governor’s School, a one-month summer program in North Carolina for 5 high school juniors. She left for the program for her good marks in June and returned to Lawndale in July to find her house 6 , with an eviction(收回) notice on the front door. Dawn was officially 7 . Employees at Burns helped her in any way they could.Dawn didn’t let her situation stop her 8 to be successful. As a senior, she participated in typical high-school extracurricular 9 at Burns: She also worked as a janitor(门卫) at Burns to earn extra money—all while making 10 A’s …And earlier this year, she got an acceptance letter from Harvard. On top of being accepted, Dawn received a full scholarship to 11 it.Since Dawn’s story has circulated worldwide, people have sent 12 and money to the teen. Dawn doesn’t want the money for herself, 13 .“When I get to college, I can work for what I 14 ,” she told CNN.

Two new studies have added to the 18 (body)of evidence 19 daylight 20 (play)an important role in preventing the condition。

Short-sightedness, or myopia, is 24 eye condition that causes a person to see things clearly close-up but struggle to see things when they are far away。

Ⅱ阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)AHow to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家) Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of thes e foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life —it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat —they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all,but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”26. From the paragraph we know that working women .A.think cooking is especially complicatedB.do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC.are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully27. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories28. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A. an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicine29. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .A. a balanced diet can result in being fatB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinD. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food30. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useBA “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs . And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service “weblogs. com”. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created theWeb-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms. Blood says Rebecea’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything--politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.31.

He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and—WHUMP! —it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are yo u? That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it? ”“Please, mister, please. . . I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do! ” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop! ” Tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister, ” he said. “He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. ”Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “ Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me. ”Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE—a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.

It is estimated that over 35million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental”, ie, they occur before the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are bad enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”, ie, accidental or caused by outside forces.Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been refused on the basis of disability.In recent years, the disability rights movement has been organized. Some laws have been passed for protecting the disabled.Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed.Big difficulties, especially in transportation and public indifference, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded (排斥) from community and socialactivities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.41.
