二、阅读理解(本大题共20小题,共40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
21. Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.
A. are too strict with their children.
B. are too rich to educate their children.
C. have some problems in educating their children correctly.
D. are too poor to educate their children.
22.The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.
A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children. B. the education system.
C. children’s skills. D. children’s hobbies.
23.Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.
A. learn how to serve their parents.
B. learn how to become strong and fat.
C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future.
D. make their parents believe that they are clever.
24.According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.
A. broken radios and television sets are useful.
B. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life.
C. an engineer must fix many broken radios.
D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios.
B
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling , jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster (怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.
In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project.
25.A greenhorn now refers to ____________.
A. a person who is new in a job.B. a new soldier.
C. a young horse.D. a cow without horns.
26.A person with a green thumb is a person _______.
A. who is good at growing plants.B. whose thumbs are of green color.
C. whose garden is greener than others’.D. who is younger than his neighbors.
27.A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ____.
A. he sees a dangerous animal.B. he reads a sad play.
C. his friend gets a prize that he wants.D. he can't get something.
28.The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. a greenhorn. B. a green thumb.
C. the Green Revolution. D. the word “green” and its story.
C
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to
work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
29. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. They used it for work and daily life.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. It was their only possession.
30. We can infer from the text that .
A. life was hard for the young family.B. people were busy before Christmas.
C. the stranger brought over the bike. D. the couple worked 60 hours a week.
31. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From a newspaper. B. From radio broadcasts.
C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.
32. What do the couples learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.
C. An act of kindness can mean a lot.D. News reports make people famous.
D
Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系) which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other,they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
33. We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______.
A. food B. light C. oxygen D. comfort
34. Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _______.
A. they enjoy travelling with the sheep.
B. they can eat the parasites on the sheep.
C. they depend on the sheep for existence.
D. they find the position most comfortable.
35. What does thesecond paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Some animals live better together.
B. Some plants depend on each other for food.
C. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
D. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence

Every one complains. Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world, you still complain sometimes. Sometimes you complain: without even realizing it, but rarely is it ever helpful. 36.Here are some tips to stop complaint and give up the negative thoughts:37.When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone, stop and force yourself to say something positive instead. Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.

W: Hello, everyone. In today’s program, I’d like to share a true story of mine. One day, my friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to brave the rain to get my car and go home. It was parked three blocks away. My friends argued I shouldn’t go because at that time, I was due to give birth in three months. I promised I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me, but I insisted she stay with another friend who needed help with her baby. When I walked to the first crossroads, a taxi stopped and a passenger came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right beside me and told me he would walk with me to where I would go. I refused, but he insisted. During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slowly. When we got to the car park, I thanked him, and we parted ways. I did not get his name and may not even recognize him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I’ll never know.

foremost,online shopping usually means something you buy are both cheaper in price and better in quality.Besides,goods you get online come to you fast as well as conveniently,saving your tiredness of shopping and walking.But the other side of the coin is also true. Goods bought online are not as fine as those from the store which you can watch,feel and smell by yourself.Some online shoppers become impatient or even unreasonable after you have paid for the goods.
In my opinion,we should improve our e-commerce laws to regulate the activities of online purchase. Meanwhile,as online customers,we should be cautious while shopping online.
Best wishes.
