My mother, Margaret Feiddman, d ied at the age of 89, and so this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom.In my childhood, my mom appeared to be a typical suburban housewife of her generation. She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(桥牌锦标赛).My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimism. She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲观者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.How I wish to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now! My best friends, treasure(珍惜)your mother’s love!56.The author mentioned the advertisement to ___.A.show he’s tired of the advertisementsB.explain he missed his mother very muchC.make you believe that he was very kindD.urge the readers to buy the present for their mothers57.What experience of the author’s mo ther surprised the author?A.That she volunteered to go to Britain with her son.B.That she gained knowledge all by herself.C.That she did all the housework by herself.D.That she won several national bridge tournaments.58.What dose the underlined wor d “indelible” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A.be out of control B.be easy to rememberC.be destroyed easily D.be impossible to forget59.We can know about the author’s mother that_____.A.She encouraged the author to pursue his dreamsB.she felt very lonely in her late lifeC.She never received a present from her childrenD.she passed away before the author’s father60.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.My Great Mother B.Mother and IC.Treasure Mother’ s Love D.Mother’s Day MadnessBLisa is ten years old.

The Greatest Happiness!CTo find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of disclosing and controlling more land, of expanding(扩展)trade beyond(超出) their borders and of spreading their faith(信仰) across the world .In 1535, Francois I ,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore(探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead or reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term “ Canada” entered the country’s history. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means comm unity or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “ village” Canada is!66.In the early sixteenth century , the King of France ordered Cartier to ______A. f ind the new worldB. b uild an entirely new countryC. g o and visit the American IndiansD. g et more information about America and find a way to Asia67.

If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “publish ed”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.71. A blog is .A. a commentB. an Internet journalC. a designD. a link72.

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.【1】A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________.A.popularity B.uniform styleC.wide coverage D.speed in reporting news【2】According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that__________.A.people have different views about what a good newspaper isB.people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsC.people scan for the news they are interested inD.different people prefer different newspapers【3】 It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _________.A.apply reading techniques skillfullyB.jump from one newspaper to anotherC.appreciate the variety of a newspaperD.read a newspaper selectively usually【4】A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because __________.A.it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityB.readers like to read different newspapersC.it tries to serve different readersD.readers are difficult to please【5】The best title for this passage would be “__________”.A.The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperB.The Variety of a Good NewspaperC.The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityD.Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper3. I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.【1】We can learn from the beginning of the passage that __________________.A.the author lost his sight because of a car crash.B.the disaster strengthened the author's desire to seeC.the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D.the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen.【2】What's the most difficult thing for the author?A.Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.B.To find a special work that suits the author.C.Learning to manage his life alone.D.How to adjust himself to reality.【3】According to the context, "a chair rocker on the front porch" in paragraph 3 means that the author A.was paralyzed and stayed in a rocking chair.B.would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.C.would sit in a chair and stay at home.D.would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.【4】According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the manA.inspired the author.B.hurt the author's feeling.C.gave the author a deep impressionD.directly led to the invention of ground ball.【5】 According to the passage, which of the following is CORRECT?A.The author set goals for himself but only invited failure most of the time.B.The author suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning.C.Because of his limitations, the author tried to reach one goal at a time.D.The bitterness of failure prevented the author from trying something out of reach.4.“OK,”I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “What’s going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp-- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she’s the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.“She’s fond of giving orders, ”Lucy complained. “She’s turning everyone against me. She’s mean.And she’s fat.” “Excuse me,” I said, struggling for calm. “What did you just said?” “She’s fat.” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说).“We’re going upstairs,” I said, my voice cold. “We’re going to discuss this.” And up we went. I’d spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we’d have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.“It’s not always that easy,” I said . “Everyone’s different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman’s weight, she’s joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didn’t cry when someone posted my picture and commented , “I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”Does she need to know, now, that life isn’t fair ? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don’t have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It’s possible she’ll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say. So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn’t one of them. ”Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I won’t say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit there together, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I’ve struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.【1】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy ______.A.has turned against her friend J.B.gets along well with her friend J.C.has begun to compete with her friend J.D.often makes fun of her friend J.【2】Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?A.Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own.B.Because she is really shocked at Lucy’s rudeness.C.Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.D.Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.【3】What does the author want to tell her daughter?A.People shouldn’t complain because life is unfair.B.She herself was once laughed at for her appearance.C.People shouldn’t be blamed for their appearance.D.It is not easy to take the doctors’ advice to eat less.【4】It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A.the author earns a living by writing stories.B.the author is a fat but good-looking woman.C.the author will stop loving her daughter for what she said.D.the author’s daughter agreed with her from the very beginning.【5】We can learn from the last paragraph that_________.A.Lucy was deeply moved by her mother’s prayer.B.a mother’s prayer will shape her daughter’s attitude towards lifeC.the author allows her daughter to use the F word in her headD.the author hopes her daughter will never have weight trouble【6】The author’s attitude towards her daughter can be best described as _________.A.unsatisfied and angry B.loving but strictC.indifferent but patient D.satisfied and friendly5.After 20 years as a full-time wife and mother, I decided to be a school bus driver for I loved kids. After hard practice, by the time school started that year I’d gotten the hang of it. I was happy in my new work. I became a combination of chauffeur, nurse and friend. And if the kids needed it, I’d put on my “Tough Big Sister” act. It was a lot like my previous job---being a mom.When I think about my years of bus driving, many things crowded in, but mostly, I remember Charlie.Charlie, eight years old, with blond hair and crystalline gray eyes, began riding my bus in September of my fourth year driving. They all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie, though, ignored me. He didn’t even answer when I asked his name.From that day on, Charlie was a trial. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my head to know who had started it. If someone was throwing spitballs I could guess the culprit’s name. If a girl was crying, chances were Charlie h ad pulled her hair. No matter how I spoke to him, gently or firmly, he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just stare at me with those big gray eyes of his.I asked around some, and found out Charlie’s father was dead and he didn’t live with his mother. He deservesmy patience, I thought. So I practiced every bit of patience I could muster. To my cheery “Good Morning”, he was silent. When I wished him a happy Halloween, he sneered. Many, many times I asked God how I could reach Charlie. “I’m at my wit’s end.” I’d say. Still I was sure that this child needed to feel some warmth from me. So, when he’d pass by, I’d ruffle his hair or pat him on the arm.Toward the end of that year, the kids on my bus gave me a small trophy inscribed “To the Best Bus Driver Ever”.I propped it up on the dashboard. On top I hung a small tin heart that a little girl had given me. In red paint she had written, “I love Polly and Polly loves me.”On the next-to-last day of school I was delayed a few minutes talking to the principal. When I got on the bus I realized that the tin heart was gone. “Does anyone know what happened to the little heart that was up here?” I asked. For once with 39 children, there was silence.One boy piped up, “Charlie was the first one on the bus. I bet(打赌)he took it.” Other children joined the chorus, “Yeah! Charlie did it! Search him!” I asked Charlie, “Have you seen the heart?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he protested(抗议). Standing up, he took a few pennies and a small ball out of his pockets. “See, I don’t have it.”“I bet he does!” insisted the girl who had given me the heart. “Check his pockets.”Charlie glowered when I asked him to come forward. His gaze burned into mine. I stuck my hand into one pocket. Nothing. I reached into the other pocket. Then I felt it ---the familiar outline of the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no tears in those big gray eyes, no plea(乞求) for mercy. He seemed to be waiting for what he’d come to expect from the world. I was about to pull the tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket when I stopped myself. Let him keep it, a voice seemed to whisper.“It must have fallen off before I got here,” I said to the kids. “I’ll probably find it back at the depot.” Without a word, Charlie returned to his seat. When he got off at his stop, he didn’t so much as glance at me.That summer Charlie moved away.Eventually I retired. And there my story as a school bus driver ends, except for one more incident. A dozen years after retirement I was in a department store i n Kansas City, when someone said tentatively, “Polly?”I turned to see a balding(在脱发的)man who was approaching middle age. “Yes?”His face didn’t look familiar until I noticed his big gray eyes. There was no doubt. It was Charlie.He told me he was living in Montana and doing well. Then, to my surprise, he hugged me. After he let go, he pulled something from his pocket and held it up for me to see. An old key chain….bent out of shape, the lettering faded. You can probably guess what it was---the little tin heart that said, “I love Polly and Polly loves me.”“You were the only one who kept trying,” he explained. We hugged again, and went our separate ways. That night I thought over his words. You were the only one who kept trying.

The Color Run™ series, founded in 2011 by Utah resident Travis Snyder, who currently lives in Los Angeles, is a 5k with a twist: runners start in white clothing, and at each kilometer get caked in brightly colored powders (made from 100% eco-friendly and natural food-grade corn starch) thrown by volunteers. Snyder, 35, previously organized rock climbing events but says it was having a child that inspired him to think of an event combining fitness and pleasure. So far, 600,000 people have already taken part in Snyder's fitness festivals across the world, from Sydney to Rio de Janeiro, becoming America's biggest 5k along the way.What does Snyder think is its appeal? "I think sometimes people get tired of being so competitive," he says. "In a running event, the person next to you is the tool that you are going to compare yourself to; whether or not you run faster than them or they run faster than you. The Color Run still has running in its basis: people still get to be out and be active. But instead of it being an exclusive experience, it's an inclusive experience, where the people next to you are part of that."The events attract a large population, including families and children, along with a higher proportion of women than most runs. For many, it is their first race and furthest distance. Synder's eight-year-old son has taken part in 20 of the races. "It's not a big deal because he doesn't think of it as 5k – he is just running and having fun."In line with this theme of participation rather than competition, there are no praises for coming first. If runners want to get a result, they will have to track it themselves, as it is not officially timed. And, needless to say, the finish line is one big party – before the clean up begins.【1】Those ________ can join in the Color Run.A.whose ages are more than 8B.who wear colorful clothesC.who are good at running D.who dress in white【2】What contributed to Travis Snyder’s founding the fitness festival?A.Competitive society.B.Being a father.C.Love among families and children.D.Having a lifestyle mentally and physically.【3】The Color Run series main aim is to ________.A.reduce people’s stress B.find the fastest runnersC.combine health and fun D.have a big party for every family【4】Why does the author mention Snyder’s eight-year-old son in Paragraph 4?A.To show Snyder’s love for his son.B.To prove the son was good at running.C.To tell us how the son covers his furthest distance.D.To argue the activity gains popularity whatever age.四、其他Disability aids are vital to those who suffer problems with executing work with two hands. These are people who have been disabled due to some major sickness or some other problems. In order to help them carry on their work in the normal way, disability aids are manufactured. This helps them make their life a lot easier than what it would have been without these aids. The kind of disability aids that an individual might require depends on the person only. It is the problem that a person faces that decides the aids that he/she will use for carrying out their respective jobs. The following is the list of a few disability aids that come of significant use.The first and foremost aid is the stocking aid, aiding the individuals suffering from the problem of bending down to reach the foot and wear their own socks. These stocking aids have a gutter that is made up of plastic material. These gutters are shaped in a certain way along with the attachment of cotton tapes in it. The sock is then put over the gutter. The foot is placed inside the gutter. The cotton tapes help in pulling the socks up the leg and subsequently the sock. In this manner, the sock is worn by a person who has problems wearing it by bending one’s back and reaching the foot.There are openers that help the people who have problems with their hands or wrists to open bottles of ketchup, jam and other such bottles and jars that necessitates the use of hands and fingers.The third type of disability aids that comes to our minds are lifts. Now what are lifts? Lifts are certain machines that help in lifting people from specific areas, such as a bathtub or a set of stairs. These lifts are of varied types and come for numerous applications. It is for the individual to decide the type that he/she requires to use.For people, who have problems in balancing their upper bodies in a stable manner, there is something known as grab rails. These grab rails are installed for those who have mobility problems in their upper bodies. These rails come in varieties of shapes, sizes and angles. These grab rails are available to home users as well, in their different va riations. One can purchase and fix one to their homes according to one’s specificities. These grab rails require the act of screwing and drilling in order to fix them to their appropriate place. The prices of these rails also vary according to the variation of their shapes and sizes.A portable book holder is a much sought-after disability aid. It can be used by anybody for that matter, not just the disabled. These portable book holders are light-weight and can be easily moved about. These holders relieve t he strains on one’s hands, necks and shoulders that might occur due to the handling of a book. The holders are provided with extended legs that help in placing the reading material at suitable distance.Thus with the help of these disability aids, the old and disabled people can make their lives much more convenient and comfortable that would otherwise have been a cumbersome and complex one.Disability AidsDisability aids are of great 【1】 to those who are disabled as a result of some majorsickness or other problems.五、单词拼写【1】Customers with a strong emotional investment in your company or brand will feel _________(背叛) if you ever let them down.【2】They feel ________(内疚) about not being able to see their son often because they are busy with their work.【3】It's no use a__________ about the question with him, for he won't change his opinion.【4】It is __________(荒谬的) to believe that number 13 is unlucky.【5】If we pass the entrance examination and are fortunately a_________ to a university, we shall not stop making effort.【6】The practice of law requires __________(了解) with court procedures.【7】I apologize for the delay in __________(回复) to your message and greatly appreciate your patience. 【8】Chinese leaders are __________(坚定的) to continuing Deng Xiaoping's path of opening up policy and economic reform.【9】The two organizations work together to raise public awareness of the vast scale of hunger____________(全世界).【10】We do not need to __________(羡慕,忌妒) any other person, for our existence is actually unique!江苏高二高中英语月考试卷答案及解析一、单项选择1.According to a recent survey, homework is what students most often ________ for their lack of sleep.A.blame B.remindC.accuse D.suspect【答案】A【解析】考查动词辨析。

For six month, I gradually took over until I was completely teaching the class. It wasn’t quite the same as a real teaching job. However, it was definitely a good way to get some real world experience. School should prepare students for the job market. Therefore, are our kids receiving enough practical education so they can be successful in the real world?When teaching kids, it’s important to be able to have a purpose for everything we teach. As parents and teachers, we should ask ourselves: what can this be used for when kids enter the job market? I can think about a college class I took where we had to analyze various movies. I honestly can’t think of how analyzing “Rambo” benefited me. Perhaps, I would have been better off taking an auto shop class or a carpentry class. After all, I can’t change a tire and I’m completely incapable when it comes to using power tools. The Guardian points out that the current generation is one of the most educated but lacks the skills to mend a hole in a shirt or put up a shelf. We have become a society that hires someone else to do these basic tasks. So how can we fix this?Perhaps, learning how to think is not enough. Rather than focusing on standardized tests so much, schools need to give students more practical application. Cooking is actually helpful when teaching children about fractions, measuring and multiplication. Students can learn how to double a recipe and see the relationship between 1/4 and 1/3 cup. As kids get into the upper grades, money management should be a focus. Making a budget and learning about interest rates are good ideas. I used to give my students real restaurant menus and a budged. They had to come up with what they could buy, including the tip with a set amount of money. In college, rather than only focus on the craft of writing, I wish I would have learned more about marketing and publishing my writing. Finally, internships in both high school and college should be required.It appears that some high schools are doing a better job of preparing students for the real world. For instance, according to NBC News, in Michigan, “the Utica Center for Science and Industry uses technology to prepare students for automotive and military industry jobs.” The program aims to combine students’ skills with employers’ needs. Students take optional courses in areas such as “multimedia, engineering or mechatronics” and also take part in activities where there isn’t one right answer. For me, giving kids the opportunity to create is the key point. So far, the program is showing success.According to a Gallup poll, fifty-seven percent of American workers say “the type of work they do generally” doesnot require “a bachelor’s or a more advanced degree.” Therefore, if a college degree isn’t helping the majority of Americans at their job, then what is required? Many jobs require a skill. Electricians and contractors have specific skill that allow them to complete their jobs. Whether students go to four-year school or not, I think it’s important for everyone to have a skill. After all, a Forbes article states that half of college graduates are working at jobs that don’t require a degree. Clearly, being smart and qualified isn’t always enough to make it in the real world.I’m going to encourage my kids to go to college and earn a degree. I’m also going to encourage them to think outside of the box and give them a practical education too. After all, you never know where life will take you. 【1】The author mentions his student teaching in order to ________.A.show his experiences in teachingB.tell us the importance of experiencesC.introduce the topic of the textD.advise us to learn well at school【2】What does the underlined word “Rambo” in the second paragraph refer to?A.Name of a film.B.A film producer.C.A kind of plant.D.Name of a subject.【3】What does the Gallup poll show us?A.More and more Americans hate to go to school.B.American schools don’t prepare their students for their jobs.C.Most of the rich Americans don’t graduate from colleges.D.Most of American jobs do not require high degrees.【4】What’s the topic of this passage?A.No one is too sure about his or her own life.B.More practical education should be given to students.C.College degree is more important than anything else.D.Half of college graduates don’t live on their degree.3.For years, scientist and others concerned about climate change have been talking about the need for carbon capture and storage(CCS).That is the term for removing carbon dioxide from, say, a coal-burning power plant’s smokestack and pumping it deep underground to keep it out of the atmosphere, where it would otherwise contribute to global warming. However, currently, only one power plant in Canada captures and stores carbon on a commercial scale (and it has been having problems). Among the concerns about storage is that carbon dioxide in gaseous or liquid form that is pumped underground might escape back to the atmosphere. So storage sites would have to be monitored, potentially for decades or centuries.But scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and other institutions have come up with a different way to store COreacts with the rock to form a mineral call calcite(方解石). By turning the gas into2stone, scientists can lock it away permanently. Volcanic rocks called basalts(玄武岩) are excellent for his process,because they are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, which react with CO.2The project called CarbFix started in Iceland, 2012, when the scientists pumped about 250 tons of carbon dioxide, mixed with water, about 1,500 feet down into porous basalt. Early sings were encouraging: The scientists found that about 95 percent of the carbon dioxide was changed into calcite. And even more importantly, they wrote, the change happened relatively quickly—in less than two years.“It’s beyond all our expectations,” said Edda Aradottir, who manages the project. Rapid change of the CO2means that a project would probably have to be monitored for a far shorter time than a more conventional storage site.There are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in the fight against global warming. For one thing, it would have to be scaled up enormously. For another, a lot of water is needed—25 tons of it for every ton of CO—along with the right kind of rock.2But the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock in Iceland, including in the ocean floors and along the margins of continents. And sitting a storage project in or near the ocean could potentially solve the water problem at the same time, as the researchers say seawater would work just fine.【1】What can we learn about CCS in Paragraphs 2 and 3?A.Scientists believe global warming will be avoided if CO2 is pumped underground.B.It’s been a common practice in many plants to capture and store CO2 underground.C.There is no guarantee that CO2 will not escape even if pumped underground.D.It requires decades to turn CO2 into liquid form and be locked underground.【2】What materials should be involved in the project CarbFix?A.Water, CO2, soda water and basaltsB.Water, soda water, a pump and calciteC.CO2, basalts, a pump and calciteD.Water, CO2, a pump and basalts【3】According to Edda Aradottir, the result of the project was beyond the researchers’ expectations, because________.A.it’s disappointing to discover new problems caused by rapid changeB.it’s amazing to see 95% of the carbon dioxide turn into calcite that fastC.it’s puzzling to find the encouraging but unexpected result of the projectD.it’s exciting to sense the problem of storing CO2 likely to be solved【4】What is the author’s p urpose in writing the passage?A.To inform us of a breakthrough in storing CO2.B.To praise the efforts of scientists in storing CO2.C.To show the different ways to fight against CO2.D.To urge people to produce the least possible CO2.4.Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression — It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after thearrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery.Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story. At the beginning, unlike other detect ive stories, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories as it makes the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Wat son, a friend of Homes’. In this way, he elaborately (精心)depicted every scene and character in the book. Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard(私生子)? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film.As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has alread y set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has been a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.【1】Why does the author mention the book Pride and Prejudice?A.To show his/her impression on it.B.To change a sentence in it to evaluate the Holmes series.C.To quote a sentence to directly illustrate its impressiveness.D.To state the reason why he/she began reading Sherlock Holmes and the Duck’s son.【2】Many factors contribute to the author’s positive attitude toward the book EXCEPT that __________. A.the detailed description of a client’s strange behavior arouses the readers’ interestB.the plots are well laid out and all scenes and characters are artfully presentedC.the book is even adapted into a film and the author really enjoys watching itD.its ending is so surprising that it makes the author deeply impressed【3】What kind of a person is Sherlock Holmes according to the passage?A.Knowledgeable.B.Arbitrary.C.Mysterious.D.Courageous.【4】How is the passage organized?(p=paragraph)A.B.C.D.【5】What’s the passage mainly about?A.It mainly introduces the plots of the book Sherlock Holmes and the Duck’s son.B.It’s mainly about the author’s attitude towards Sherlock Holmes.C.It’s mainly about the thoughts of the author after reading Sherlock Holmes and the Duck’s son.D.It’s mainly a comparison between the book Pride and Prejudice and the Holmes series.四、其他“HELL is a city much like London,” said Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1819. Modern academics agree. Last year Dutch researchers showed that city dwellers(居民) have a 21% higher risk of suffering from anxiety disorders than do their calmer rural countrymen, and a 39% higher risk of suffering from mood disorders. But exactly how the inner workings of the urban and rural minds cause this difference has remained unclear—until now. A study just published in Nature by Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg of the University of Heidelberg and his colleagues has used a scanning technique called functional magnetic-resonance imaging (机能性磁共振成像,简称fMRI) to examine the brains of city dwellers and countrymen when they are under stress.In Dr Meyer-Lindenberg’s first experiment, participants lying with their heads in a scanner took maths tests that they were bound to fail (the researchers had designed success rates to be just 25-40%). To make the experience still more embarrassing, the team provided negative feedback through headphones, all the while checking participants for indications of stress, such as high blood pressure.The city people’s general mental health did not differ from that of the rural countrymen. However, their brains dealt with the stress caused by the experimenters in different ways. These differences were noticeable in two regions: the amygdalas (杏仁核) and the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex (前扣带皮层,简称pACC).People living in the countryside had the lowest levels of activity in their amygdalas. Those living in towns had higher levels. City dwellers had the highest. In the case of the pACC, however, what mattered was not where someone was living now, but where he or she was brought up. The more urban a person’s childhood, the more active his pACC, regardless of where he was dwelling at the time of the experiment.The amygdalas thus seem to respond to the here-and-now while the pACC is programmed early on, and does not react in the same, flexible way as the amygdalas. Second-to-second changes in its activity might, though, be expected to be connected with changes in the amygdalas, because of its role in regulating them. fMRI allows such connections to be measured.In the cases of those brought up in the countryside, regardless of where they now live, the connections were as expected. For those brought up in cities, however, these connections broke down. The regulatory mechanism of the native urbanite, in other words, seems to be out of order.Dr Meyer-Lindenberg and his team conducted several more experiments to check their findings. They asked participants to complete more maths tests—and also tests in which they were mentally ups and downs—while investigators scolded them about their performance. The results matched those of the first test. They also studied another group of volunteers, who were given stress-free tasks to complete. These experiments showed no activity in either the amygdalas or the pACC, suggesting that the earlier results were indeed the result of social stress rather than mental effort.As is usually the case in studies of this sort, the sample size was small and the result showed an association, rather than a definite, causal relationship. That association is, nevertheless, interesting. Living in cities brings many benefits, but Dr Meyer-Lindenberg’s work suggests that Shelley and his fellow Romantics had at least half a point.Title: Do urban brains behave differently from rural ones?。

They offer many different kinds of productions, such as musical theatre, dance theatre and children’s theatre. Usually, performers are amateurs who receive no pay, but at other times professionals get involved, and they are paid. Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as most simply run by colleges and their theatre Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors. Now, most theatres that put on shows that will entertain or benefit the community.In the 1880s, “little theatre’’ was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot. In 1910, this idea traveled to the United States. In the early years, community theatres were even funded by the government, but when shows became too political, government funding was stopped.Community theatres of today are a little different from the old “little theatres”, as mist simply want to infuse(注入)little culture into the lives of the local citizens. In many cases, these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments. These productions are often free of charge, or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other incidental expenses. Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills, as well as to keep them busy so that they do not do choose to get into trouble. Additionally, for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production, it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills.【1】Why was “little theatre” started in Europe?A.To put on shows for children.B.To collect money for poor people.C.To entertain poor people.D.To get people interested in theatrical productions.【2】From the passage we know that community theatres can _____.A.help young people ,make more moneyB.prevent young people getting into troubleC.help young people enter the collegesD.encourage young people to become more responsible【3】Which of the following is TRUE about community theatre?A.It is usually funded by the government.B.It is intended to train professional actors.C.It benefits the community in many ways.D.It is quite different from the old “little theatres”.【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.A.some professional actors may come from the community theatresB.community theatres only charge for incidental expensesC.community theatres have lost their attraction todayD.people can live by acting in the community theatres2.Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2,000 people in the study developed lung cancer.Researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer. Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."【1】Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?A.Whites—Native HawaiiansB.Africans—Americans—LatinosC.Asians—Native HawaiiansD.Africans—Americans—Native Hawaiians【2】Researchers agree that it is _____ that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer. A.the larger amount of smoking than white peopleB.the living style or habit of the blacksC.the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungsD.the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke【3】People in the new study are made up of _____.A.heavy smokers in America B.the black and white peopleC.the Asians and Hawaiians D.smokers and non-smokers【4】The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to _____.A.explain different races react to some diseases differentlyB.tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokersC.show a big step people have taken in the medicine areaD.support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers3.Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organization for children that works to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn’t understand this stuff,” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money manage ment and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能手) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars,cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, ‘I need to refinance my house —what should I do? ‘A lot of times, I wouldn’t know the answer, but I’d go to find it and learn something in the process,” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it’s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little self education,” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”【1】The underlined part “live below their means” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “______”.A.take effective measures B.live a miserable lifeC.spend more money than they had D.spend less money than they had【2】Since Steve Maxwell became a millionaire, he ______.A.has been unwilling to help othersB.hasn’t stopped learning from practiceC.has been willing to follow others’ adviceD.has stopped to invest in houses【3】What would be the best title for the passage?A.A self made engineerB.How to balance your checkbookC.Don’t avoid investingD.Educate yourself to become a millionaire【4】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.self education is very important to one’s lifeB.everyone should learn how to invest in their lifeC.Steve Maxwell was quite interested in finance classes in collegeD.Steve became rich because he saved every penny he had earned四、其他There are so many good reasons to send a child to camp.When children go to camp, they are on their own, sometimes for the very first time in their lives. They have to decide what to wear, what to eat and which activities to participate in. As a result they develop confidence and independence.As self-respect develops from learning to be on their own, children continue to try new activities. Also it is possible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with. In school, children do not experience success in the same way. Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills. In a camp setting, a good counselor will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way. They learn the give and take, and they learn how to work and cooperate. Something as simple as clean-up, is not only there to get the cabin clean, but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships. These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities. Children learn to see others from a different viewpoint. Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear, what they are good at and how they look. This is because in a camp setting, respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives.In a word, camp does give children fun, friends and fulfillment.五、书面表达请根据下图所展示的内容及你对此图的理解用英语写一篇短文。

Increased vehicles have made the air polluted. Citizens find it difficult to breathe. Dumping toxic chemicals into the river has polluted the drinking water and ground water.All of us, as concerned citizens, have discussed these problems in various meetings. We have come up with the following proposals(提议).The green roads are no longer green. Many trees and bushes have been cut. We propose restricting the movement of vehicles. Besides, we should make it compulsory(强制性的)to use anti-pollution devices on all vehicles. We should also plant more plants and trees along roads.The Bada Nadi River has become a dumping ground of toxic chemicals from some factories. These toxic chemicals have killed nearly all the life in the river and polluted our drinking water and ground water. We propose that the Bada Nadi River be declared a protected water body. All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders(违法者). To tackle the problem of managing toxic waste, we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. Cleaning up the river and introducing various fishes and plants to the river will bring it back to life.Lastly, the noise pollution caused by honking(鸣)horns and blaring loudspeakers has caused distress to one and all. Many people have suffered from noise-related illnesses. We propose a blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers. And“no horn zones”shou ld also be declared in residential hospitals and school areas.I would request you to seriously consider our proposals and act accordingly.Thank you!Sincerely yours,A kind-hearted citizen【1】The author wrote this letter in order to ______.A.express his/her thanks to the mayorB.complain about the environmentC.share his/her opinions about city lifeD.make his/her suggestions on managing toxic waste【2】In order to protect the Bada Nadi River, the author suggests _______.A.anti-pollution devices should be used on vehiclesB.planting more trees and bushes along roadsC.restricting the movement of vehiclesD.banning dumping dangerous chemicals into the river【3】The underlined word “tackle”in the fourth paragraph means“_______”.A.put off B.deal withC.set up D.turn down2.It's a name that needs no address.Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of the North Pole deep in Alaska,including those simply sent to Santa. Last year,120,000 letters arrived from 26 countries,not including the thousands with no return addresses.Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark(邮戳) that has delighted children all over the world for many years. They feel happy to receive Santa's reply.Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600,where streets have names such as Santa Claus Laneand Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving,they start getting there by the thousands each day as Christmas comes. Even letters without stamps get through,an exception(例外)for the U.S. Postal Service.“This is special because it has Santa's name on it,”said Debra Cornelius,an officer at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks,where the letters are kept during the holiday.Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.In his 10 years as a volunteer,Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles(奇迹),some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq,even though he died there.Replies get a North Pole postmark,including a half-moon drawing of Santa's face. Even late letters get a reply,Gaborik said,“It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santa's been really busy,’anything the children might want to hear,”he said.【1】Letters written to Santa Claus without an address can arrive at the North Pole because ______.A.all letters without an address are sent thereB.people believe that Santa Claus lives thereC.this kind of letter is sent with a special postmarkD.streets named Santa Claus Lane can be found there【2】The underlined word “delighted” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______”.A.excited B.amazed C.confused D.disappointed【3】We can know from the text that ______.A.letters written to Santa Claus are sent freeB.Santa Claus' replies to children always arrive at ChristmasC.many people write to children for Santa Claus asking for no payD.there're thousands of letters sent to Santa Claus every month【4】What's the best title for the text?A.Letters written to parentsB.All kinds of wishes from childrenC.Letters to Santa Claus rush into AlaskaD.North Pole,Alaska,a beautiful place3.If you're networking (建立人际关系) and nothing is happening, you might need to evaluate how you're doing it. Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process. You aggressively talk to people, give out your cards, call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts. To help you gain a different future, here are ten habits you should avoid.Ineffective networkers:1. Lack patience. They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.2. Constantly “selling” something. They see dollar signs every time they s hake hands with someone.3. Too many choices. If they offer a variety of products, they might try too hard to tell about all of them. Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referral (指点). Opportunities are all around us but when you're networking, only focus on one.4. Change positions too often. If they move from company to company or do something totally different, it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.5. Lack manners and respect. They interrupt others, talk with food in their mouth, aren't very polite and appear unprofessional. They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.6. Distribute too many cards and sales literature. They come while loading with brochures, flyers (传单), catalogues and samples.7. Focus on themselves. Too much self- promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.8. “Talking” instead of “giving”. They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.9. Lack authenticity (可靠性) and personal values. They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises. Sometimes doing things without integrity (诚实) possibly twists the truth.10. Poor communication and interpersonal skills. They have trouble speaking effectively, building relationships and following up.Networking is a process that is an investment of time and money. If you find you're doing any of these habits, consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking. You'll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.【1】This passage is meant for people who ______.A.want to do more businessesB.often take instead of givingC.have poor communication and interpersonal skillsD.want to improve their interpersonal relationship【2】According to the second habit, we shouldn't ______ when we are networking.A.sell things B.talk about dollarsC.pay attention to money only D.shake hands with everyone【3】When talking with others, you should ______.A.give out your cards and brochures every now and thenB.talk about the quality of your product as much as possibleC.interrupt others when they make a mistakeD.let other people express themselves completely【4】Which of the following is NOT correct about a salesman's behavior?A.He offers too much self-promotion during the conversation.B.He considers carefully when he can get what he expects.C.He only focuses on one opportunity when networking.D.He keeps his promises and doesn't expect too much from others.4.Teaching a child to read at a young age gives him a valuable start in life. Reading is the basic part of education and a child’s reading ability will influence his school success greatly. Learning difficulties, many of which begin from poor reading skills, can damag e a school child’s confidence and affect his future achievement. Young children are programmed to learn and they can learn better with encouragement. Ten to twenty minutes of reading a day still leaves plenty of time for play.Many parents are concerned that learning to read is too challenging a task for a pre-school child, but they should also remember that most children learn to speak by the time they are 3. Learning a language is probably the single most challenging task any individual can undertake, yet children do it without formal instruction, achieving the fluency much better than adult language students.There is a window of opportunity in terms of IQ development, which is most open during a child’s early years. A scientific study, carried out by Dr. Peter Huttenlocher at the University of Chicago, showed that the number of connectors, called synapses(神经元突触), between the nerve endings in a newborn baby’s brain is similar to the number in the average adult brain. These synapses increase rapidly during early childhood. By 12-24 months a child’s brain has about 50% more synapses than the average adult brain. After that the synapses which are not in use begin to atrophy(衰退). For most people, from age 16, the number remains steady. It begins to drop again as we move into our golden years. Doing intellectual activities at a young age, such as learning to read, can stimulate(刺激)and preserve these connectors in the brain resulting in a long-term beneficial(有益的)effect on IQ development.Another notable study is probably the Milwaukee project. This study took a group of babies, all of whose mothers had low IQs, and gave them special training for seven hours a day, five days a week, until they started first grade. By the age of 6 these children had an average IQ 30 points higher than their contemporaries. The overwhelming conclusion is that the early intellectual stimulation can have a positive, long-term effect on a child’s brain development.From birth you should talk to and explain things to your baby. Reading to him can be a wonderful way of spending quality time with your child. The enjoyment of books and being familiar with the idea of print will pave the way for(为……铺平道路)learning to read later.If your child is a fast learner you can help him realize his potential by introducing him to the joy of the printed word at an early age. This will lay the foundations(基础)for both a high achieving school career and a lifelong love of reading. If your child shows early signs of reading difficulties, your efforts may help him get rid of such problems before he goes to school.It can be difficult to teach your own child because emotional(引起情绪激动的)issues arise easily. Online programs for learning to read English are excellent options. They allow children to repeat new materials as many times as they need to, without wearing out the parents’ patience.【1】What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Children should be taught to read at an early age.B.Children can read better than most adult students.C.Children have more synapses than most adults.D.Children are supposed to learn to read on the Internet.【2】Why does the author mention the study by Dr. Peter Hutten locher?A.To remove parents’ worry.B.To explain IQ development.C.To explain how a baby’s brain works.D.To show the parents’ wrong ideas.【3】How can children benefit from learning to read at a young age?A.It can build up great confidence in their mind.B.It can help preserve the connectors in their brains.C.It can help produce more connectors in their brains.D.It can help them find both their weaknesses and strengths.【4】At the end of this passage the author advises _______.A.parents not to get angry too oftenB.children to enjoy reading as early as possibleC.children not to wear out their parents’ patienceD.parents to get their children to take an online program四、其他Parents are important elements in the children’s educational progress. They are capable of being good resources not just for children, but also for schools and teachers.Parents can help children realize the value of education through their love and support, and most importantly,their encouragement plays an important role in educational success. So parents can be more involved in children’s classroom activities. For example, parents can help out with teaching arts and crafts(工艺美术)to preschoolers and children in grades 1-3. Asking parents to show the children their own talents and impart(传授)th e knowledge on the subject they love is a good way to involve the parents in their children’s education. And asa teacher, having someone on call to help you with the cutting and gluing(粘)during a craft class will ensure a less daunting(使人畏缩的)job.Having parent volunteers around when organizing activities for children is definitely an advantage. Organizingfield trips, outings, community services, camps, etc., can be a daunting task when you are the only member responsible for catering to the needs of a large group of children. At such times, asking parent volunteers to help out with the basic requirements makes perfect sense. You can even ask them to stay together with students on camping and field trips or help with community services. And activities which allow them to mix freely with the children will help them understand the needs of the children better.Asking parent volunteers to keep records of classroom activities, the resources used, etc., is a good way of making good use of them. Ask them to help out with restocking(补充)the materials needed for arts and crafts. You can even ask them to help tune music al instruments, organize the library and the children’s artwork. Make sure that they are comfortable doing the work assigned(布置)to them, after all, you would not want to offend (冒犯)their feelings.School is considered as a second home, and there is a constant need to conduct research or surveys to find out whether the children are comfortable in school and what they think of it. A better way to do this is to employ parent volunteers to complete the task. Ultimately(最重要地), the goal of research or surveys is to make the school environment-friendly and home-like. Thus, it makes sense to conduct research or surveys with the help of parent volunteers.It goes without saying that you ought to thank the parent volunteers for all their help. To conclude, I agree with the saying,“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”五、书面表达“实行低碳经济”,“过低碳生活”,现在已经成为了人们关注的热门话题。

Did you it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) if you had paid more attention to it?Imagine a , where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the you have so much wished for.As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that but powerful thought.Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become of the great possibilities that can if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. meaningless little thought or ideas when acted have a potential to explode into great projects.
