AIt is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time, and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment. A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell, arts—and—crafts such as finger paint, games like musical chairs and even take naps. The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos, the brain behind the adult preschool, studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher. She’s always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood. A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.According to Candice, her blogger friend, Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children. ―I rea lized all the significances of what we learn in preschool,‖said founder Michelle Joni, ―People come here and get in touch with their inner child. It’s magical. We are bringing ourselves back to another place, another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves, more confident and ready to take on the world.‖―One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious.‖Michelle said. ―Another's here to learn to be more confident.‖ She explained that most of the classes were planned. However, Joni added that while the planned activities were fun, it was often the spontaneous(自发的)moments that attracted students. ―It’s the things you don’t plan for, the sharing between friends and learning from each other.’’21. What is the purpose of Preschool Mastermind?A. To give adults a chance to return to childhood.B. To help parents understand their children better.C. To provide practical training courses for teachers.D. To introduce some ways of playing with children.22. What is mainly discussed about Preschool Mastermind in Paragraph 2?A. Its customers.B. Its activities.C. Its environment.D. Its schedule.23. According to Candice, people come to this program to________.A. enjoy freedom of thinkingB. realize their childhood dreamsC. discover their inner abilitiesD. figure out childhood puzzles24. What do we know about Michelle Joni?A. She used to be a preschool teacher.B. She likes to make plans in advance.C. She founded Preschool Mastermind.D. She gained confidence by sharing.BBack in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard ―driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.‖ That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.25. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.A. the harm of driving at an old ageB. the importance of traffic safetyC. traffic accidents are on the riseD. many elderly drivers are careless26. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.A. over eighty-fiveB. between sunset and dawnC. with the help of voice warning systemsD. under the influence of prescription drugs27. The underlined word ―unsettling‖ in the last paragraph is close st in meaning to―________‖.A. disappointingB. worryingC. touchingD. interesting28. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. How to keep old people safe on the road?B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?CIfirst came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer’s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.―I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a handout,‖ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.―One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,‖ she said. ―Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.‖The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood –whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.29. What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer?A. She enjoyed a meal.B. She ate free of charge.C. She overpaid for the food.D. She worked as a volunteer.30. What is the advantage of community cafés compared with soup kitchens?A. People can have free food.B. People can maintain their dignity.C. People can stay as long as they like.D. People can find their places in society.31. Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods?A. They bring people true friendships.B. They help to bring people together.C. They create a lot of job opportunities.D. They support local economic development.32. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Café?A. It paid well.B. It changed her.C. It was beneficial.D. It was easy for her.DWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip, even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home, I hit the brakes, and we began to roll, slowly, behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again. We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle.At five miles per hour, you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place, even when you are moving from place to place.I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home, and also a writer and a gardener. But, for me, those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others.The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land, and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers, keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens, and, since we moved in three years ago, we have planted many, many trees.Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much trav el. I need to be here, feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget, and we spend it on trees.But I learned something at the end of our family road trip. Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place. When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there, travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places.33. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A. The tiredness of her past family life.B. Her disappointment at the family road trip.C. The family’s eagerness to return home.D. Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road.34. Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A. Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage.B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road.C. Because she needed a break after the long drive.D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life.35. What can be the best title of the passage?A. On the Way HomeB. Never Travel againC. Escape from a Family LifeD. Life on the Farm第二节根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

To get home delivery service, you must .A. only choose printed booksB. register ahead of timeC. pay the library ahead of timeD. have others choose the resources for youBI have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance. Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average,” Nielsen Mobile said.Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal (非口头的)cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation:How the Digital Age Stupefies（使茫然）Young Americans and Jeopardizes OurFuture.Beyond that, though, I’m not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I've posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted. When buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. Because he is constantly available by means of text message and responds with faithfulness and speed.25. What would be the best title for this passage?A. For Teens, Texting Instead of TalkingB. For Parents, Caring Much for Their KidsC. Disadvantages of TextingD. The Effect of Communication26.What does the underlined word "distracted" in the fifth paragraph mean?A. Confused.B. Absent-minded.C. Comfortable.D. Bad-tempered.27.The author's attitude to texting is ___________.A. objectiveB. opposedC. supportiveD. doubtful28.According to the passage, which of the statements is NOT true?A. It is normal for a teen to send or receive 60 text messages per day.B. Texting is a very popular way of communication among teens.C. The writer limited his son to send or receive messages at first.D. When texting, teens don't mind talking with you.CIt is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device, and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage. So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a littleleery of the security levels.Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟) shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund(返还) your money and then set their claws on the company th at wronged you. Now that’s buying power!There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line-ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（速递公司）getting in on the act, you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.29. The underlined word “leery” means_________.A. satisfiedB. distrustfulC. hopefulD. sad30. _________ leads to consumers’ trust in online shopping.A. Shopping lawB. Shopping convenienceC. Internet accessD. Shopping security31. Which group of words would the writer use to describe current Internet shopping?A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal.B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient.C. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow.D. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable.32. The following are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shoppingEXCEPT_________.A. internet companiesB. courier companiesC. advertising companiesD. credit card companiesDA recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies —a disease with no known cure.Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, ‚keep cutting!‛33. The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ___.A. where Americans keep their petsB. what costly lives the pets are livingC. why children love their pets so muchD. how much pets depend on their masters34. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ___.A. getting quite hotB. feeling overwhelmingly angryC. becoming excitedD. receiving a fashionable shirt35.According to the author, in which field can animals be most usefulA.Pet.B. Food.C. MedicineD. Sports.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.“I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a handout,” Cerreta said. S he acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.“One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood –whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.29. What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer?A. She enjoyed a meal.B.

We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．33．What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A．The tiredness of her past family life．B．Her disappointment at the family road trip．C．The family’s eagerness to return home．D．Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．34．Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A．Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．B．Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．C．Because she needed a break after the long drive．D．Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．35．What can be the best title of the passage?A．On the Way Home B．Never Travel againC．Escape from a Family Life D．Life on the Farm第二节根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
