A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn’t show such support.So celebrate your kids’achievements，no matter how small they are.3.Praising their efforts. Kids won’t always come out on top.Still，they deserve kudos ( 赞誉) for trying their best.Ten-year-old April Cutler，for example，has had trouble with math since second grade.“She usually gets C’s on her report card，but last year she was determined to get A’ s and worked hard at it，” says her mom.“Whe n the first grading period ended，April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math，” Lueille continues.“Bu t my husband and I told her we were very proud that she’d improved.That inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period！”4.Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child’s sense of control and builds his/her self­esteem ( 自尊心)．And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won’t harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5.Encouraging them to solve their own problems.As they grow，children needpractice in communicating，standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her，step back and let them work it out.56．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To encourage parents to admire their kids.B.To show how to praise kids.C.To help kids study harder.D.To give advice on how to help kids become mature.57．The passage is mainly intended for .A．kids B．parents C．teachers D．educators58．From the example of April Cutler，we can l earn that .A.praising kids’ efforts can help them make greater progressB.setting a high goal makes kids feel discouragedC.solving problems by themselves helps kids feel confidentD.interest is the best teacher59.Why should parents allow kids to make mistakes?A．Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid.B．Adults also make mistakes now and then.C．Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes.D．Making mistakes won’t harm kids.BLooking back on my childhood，I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War Ⅰwe spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then somet hing happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds.60.The first paragraph tells us the author .A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB.lost his hearing when he was a childC.didn’t like his brothers and sistersD.was born to a naturalist’s family61.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .A．he didn’t live very long with themB.the family was extremely largeC.he was too young when he lived with themD.he was fully occupied with observing nature62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author is a naturalist，but not a scientist.B.The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.C.The author is first of all a scientist.D.The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.63.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he t hinkshe .A.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of a scientistC.just reads about other people’s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in a most natural wayCWhen you were looking for a reliable，honest auto mechanic，how did you find him？Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried，how did you know that it served great food？If you are like most people on the planet，you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to refer to a business they trust.Marketers call thisfriend­to­friend recognition of a business “word­of­mouth” advertising.When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job，people are going to talk about your business.Unfortunately，because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones，we’re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.Understand this：Customers believe their own experience.You can’t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.So，to get positive word-of-mouth going for your business in this service-based economy，you’ve got to do a really outstanding job for everyone，exactly.And when you do，you build a great reputation.That takes time.But it forms a close link with your customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers’money，people want to know whom they can trust.So people are going to be talking about you.Create a free sales force for your business—an army of delighted customers who tell everyone that they know how good your company is to do business with.That’s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.64.What is the main topic of this passage?A．A good name will bring you money.B．A person should rely on his friends for business.C．Advertising can make customers believe it’s wonderful.D．A company can rely on its associates to survive.65.According to the passage，whether we go to a place or not d epends on .A．business fame B．media assistanceC．particular recognition D．associates’recommendation66．When you do an outstanding job in service，you w ill surely .A．make more money than you expectB.have a mutual understanding with your customersC.build a great reputation immediatelyD.earn your fame as well as advertise for your company67.The underlined word “defectionitis”probably means .A．service imperfection B．customers’ distrustC．customers’protection D．service advertisementDRalph and Norton can grow to be 40 feet long and live in a tank as large as a football field.What are they？They’re the only two whale sharks at a North American aquarium (水族馆)．You can see Ralph and Norton at the world’s largest aquarium，the new Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.The aquarium’s giant tanks hold eight million gallons of water and will be home to about 100,000 fish!The aquarium was designed to look like a giant ship breaking through the waves.It has 60 different habitats from the sea and five galleries ( 展馆)，each with a different theme.About 2.4 million visitors are expected to come each year.“We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium.” said Jeff Swanagan，the aquarium’s executive director.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Taiwan.They were only 15 and 13 feet long，but they may grow to be more than 40 feet long！Whale sharks are the world’s largest fish.Three full-time vets will work there to make sure that Ralph，Norton，and all of the aquarium’s sea life stay healthy.Students from the University of Georgia will help run the aquarium and conduct research at the animal hospital.The aquarium was paid for almost completely by a $200 million gift from Berne Marcus，co-founder of the Home Depot Inc，and his wife，Billi.“It’s going to be the most unique aquarium in the world，”sai d Marcus.Marcus said the aquarium was a “thank you” note to the city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia，where the Home Depot first opened for business.68.According to this passage，Ralph and N orton are .A．polar bears B．whale sharks C．penguins D．dolphins69．The world’s largest aquarium located in .A．Los Angeles B．New York C．Atlanta D．Miami70．Which of the following is TRUE?A.The aquarium was designed to look like a giant shark.B.The aquarium’s giant tanks can hold eighteen million gallons of water.C.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Japan.D.Marcus helped to build the aquarium to show his thanks to A tlanta.71.By saying “We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium”，Jeff Swanagan means .A.the aquarium will attract a large number of visitorsB.the aquarium will be home to very special sea animalsC.the aquarium will be rebuilt and will be made even largerD.the aquarium will be the largest habitat for sea lifeEStarting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure ( 血压) under control，research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.The researchers，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes ( 酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors，drugs taken by millions around the world to lower blood pressure.Fried eggs proved particularly effective，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol ( 胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said，“Th e wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amount of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to limit the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005.However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.72.From the text we know that ACE i nhibitors are .A．a kind of medicine B．a kind of proteinC．a kind of illness D．a kind of food73．According to what Professor B ruce said，eggs .A．are the most nutritious foodB.have no effect on blood cholesterolC.can be included in a healthy dietD.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK74．We can infer from the text that .A.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesC.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health75．The text is meant .A.to introduce scientific findings about eggsB.to introduce a medicine made from eggsC.to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35 分)第一节短文改错(共10

like him to be home so early．The disbelief on his face told me that something was up．"Do you still have a job？""No．Redundant，" he answered，looking away from me．"OK．We'll figure it out，" I replied calmly．I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out．I immediately started to think of how we'd cut costs and who we shouldstart to get in touch with．That night，after David had fallen asleep，I cried myself to sleep，and frequently sobbed（抽泣）in the shower in the days that followed．I knew the loss of David's income would have great effect on us．He had worked for the same company for twenty﹣one years and was our main income．I work at home caring for Laura，and my income is uncertain．We have debts，and job hunting takes time．Still，I was more concerned about my husband's emotional state than our financial situation．David's sense of identity was tied to his job．He called his parents to tell them about losing his job，but didn't say a word to anyone else for weeks．He told me that he felt like "a failure"．It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment．One night several weeks after he lost his job，David woke me just before midnight，sweating，pacing the bedroom

so long can hardly walk，let alone take part in any activities．A few people，however，take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old﹣They keep going and going! There is a great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year．Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly，take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can．So，instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party，she decided to go paragliding（滑翔跳伞）﹣an idea she got from her 75﹣year﹣old son who recently took it up as a hobby．So on her birthday，cheered on by her big family，shetied herself up together with expert instructor Kevin Hintze，and jumped down fearlessly from the sky near her home in Ogden，Utah．And，it was not just a simple jump either．According to Kevin Hintze，the grandmother encouraged him to turn around，as they made their way down．This is not the first time that Mary has done something "wild" and "crazy"．For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland．And，she is not done yet﹣For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3，000 feet Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!Not surprisingly，this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a

on which they were hatched（孵化）for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies andsardines．But they don't search directly for the fish themselves．When African penguins head out to sea，they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll（叶绿素）．Because those conditions signal the presence of algae（藻类）．And lots of algae means lots of plankton（浮游动物），which in turn means lots of their favorite fish．Well，that's what it used to mean．Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage（海市蜃楼）．The habitat is indeed plankton﹣rich，but now it's fish﹣poor．Researchers call this an "ecological trap．" "It's a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good﹣quality habitat．That habitat has been changed，usually by human pressures．The signal stays，but the quality in the environment gets worse．"Richard Sherley，a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa．Historically，the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola，Namibia and western South Africa，but now they're going hungry．"I was really hoping we'd see them going east，andfinding areas which the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins．" said Richard．The researchers

So Ibecame an extremely shy young lady.One day Mr. Hadley told us that we would be required to come to the front of the class and read the reports that we had completed.When my turn came, I refused to stand in front of all those students and open up to their tricks. Mr. Hadley handed me my report and asked me to read it. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front and said,“Martha has a very good report here and I think everyone needs to hear her read it. If you make strange noises or make fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. OK?”Mr. Hadley walked back to me and handed me the paper again, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked there on legs that were shaking and I felt a rabbit in my chest. Everyone was all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to be calm.Mr. Hadley walked over to me and put his arm around me,“You can do it. I have confidence in you!”His words helped me calmdown. I read the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and making fun of me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.From that day on the kids never made fun of me any more and some actually made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school but I knew if I had to stand up in front of the class, I could do it.51.

Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the Main Reading Room is 51 feet high. Here, a reader can sit and work in comfort.The library has over thirty million books andpaintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare’s play, a Bible printed in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.Every New Yorker can visit the library and use its riches -- free.But the cost of running the library has risen sharply in recent years, and the library has not enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every day. Now it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and every evening to save money.The library is trying to raise more money to meet its increasing cost. Well-known writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City. But the problem remains serious.Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said,“The Public Library is the most important building in New York City -- it contains all our knowledge.”56. Where is the New York Public Library?A. Outside New York.B. In the north of the city.C. In the busiest part of New York.D. In the heart of a university.57. What can be found in the library?A. A Bible read by Columbus.B. All the copies of Shakespeare’s plays.C. More than forty million paintings.D. A letter about finding the new world.58. The periods when the library is open now include _______ .A. Tuesday eveningB. Sunday morningC. Saturday afternoonD. Monday morning59. What is the passage mainly about?A, Saving a library. B. Repairing an old building.C. Building a new library.D. Reading in comfort.60. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The library has grass and trees in it.B. New Yorkers don’t have to pay to use the library.C. Famous writers don’t have to pay to use the library.D. The main reading room of the library is 15 feet high.CIf you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion（时尚）.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime(消遣)!61. What do people basically wear clothes for?A. Looking attractive to others.B. Following the fashion.C. Appearing successful to others.D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.62. The main reason why clothes are sometimesvery expensive is that _______.A. one has to buy new clothesB. these clothes are in fashionC. the cost of the cloth is highD. making clothes costs much63. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. expensive clothes are not worth their pricesB. fashion is not always changingC. expensive clothes are warmerD. fashion designers like expensive clothes64. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fashionable clothes shops.B. The clothes that some people have.C. Cupboards for storing clothes.D. Shelves used for keeping books.65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Suits and ties.B. Clothes and fashion.C. Beauty and success.D. Cost and pastime.DWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. When I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How strong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Rose a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help. “Yes,”I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said,“Are you getting married, young man？But aren’t you a bit young?“I’m not talking about marriage,” I replied,“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’vearrived. Can you tell me where is a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Rose explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me,“I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”66. Where was the writer from?A. AmericaB. EnglandC. FranceD. China67. At the airport, the writer wanted ________.A. to tell Rose his arrivalB. his friend to see him offC. to make friends with RoseD. to go to the telephone company68. At first, the old man thought the writer wished to ________.A. make a phone callB. sell aringC. get marriedD. repair a phone69. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The FrenchB. The AmericansC. The BritishD. The Canadians70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. American English is completely different from British English.B. British people don’t have any language problems in the US.C. Most of French children are required to learn English at school.D. British and American people understand each other most of the time.五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A new club will be set up for students who like music.
