ADue to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can ensure their safety and well-being, although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students.The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children's time． They want to do everything they watch on TV and never think of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children's results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results．When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can't probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations．At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn't understand as many times as he considers proper．And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize．Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child'sAll in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it's best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends．21. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to________________.A. teach parents the ways to keep their children safeB. show solutions to developing children's characterC. analyze an education problem and give opinionsD. explain the main reason for violence acts in schools22. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Advantages and Disadvantages of Private ClassesB. Who is to Blame, Parents or Schools?C. Which Is Better, School Study or Home Study?D. The Relationship between Teachers and Children23. What does "a crystal ball" in the passage refer to?A. A toy that can be used for entertainment．B. A safe and comfortable environment．C. A round object that is made of crystal．D. An obstacle that is hard to overcome．24. We call infer from t he passage that___________________________________.A. violence TV programs have bad effects on children's behaviorB. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at schoolC. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrongD. there are too many students in class for a teacher to teachBI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. B ut the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fanc y idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their frien ds think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a neces sity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.25. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him26. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.27. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.28. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrit ion “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards ourenvironmental protection efforts for the future.29. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Complex Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society30. In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .A. depend on each otherB. protect their own wealthC. compete for survivalD. provide support for dying trees31. We can learn from the passage thatA. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.32. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. how trees grow oldB. how “tree societies” workC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees surviveDA developer edition of Sony’s augmented reality smart glasses will go on sale in tencountries next month, the tech giant has announced.Pre-orders for the Smart Eyeglass, costing $840 (£620), are now being taken in t he UKand Germany, with Japan and the US to follow shortly. The black-framed glasses are compatible(兼容的) with recent Android operating systems. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for redevelopment. Sony’s initial model will come with asoftware development kit to encourage people to design apps for it, the company said.The glasses, which weigh 77g, contain an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, image andbrightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. They also come with a controller,designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the device’sbattery. Text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome (单一的)green.Apple chief executive（董事长）Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,” he told the New Yorker. “They were intrusive (闯入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as we have always believed.”Stuart Miles, founder of tech site Pocket-lint, said: “I think Sony is wasting their time, energy and effort.”“Google Glass obviously needed a complete rethink... I can’t see how something thick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than Google Glass is going to catch on.“People are keen on wearables like fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. Wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,”he added. “The industry keeps pushing it but consumers just don’t want it.”33. In which countries people can get the Smart Eyeglass first?A. The US and Japan.B. The US and the UK.C. The UK and Japan.D. Germany and the UK.34. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. introduce an accelerometer developed by the Google companyB. tell the people that the Smart Eyeglass will go on saleC. people like the glasses very muchD. the Smart Eyeglass is less than 840 yuan35. What can be inferred from what Stuart Miles said?A. He supports Sony’s efforts to develop the Smart Eyeglass.B. He cares more about his clothes and face.C. He dislikes the Smart Eyeglass.D. He really wants to wear them.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。

A“Mom, I’m going to take my travel journal to school, okay? I want to show my teacher. ” The summer holiday is one of the main topics of conversation at the beginning of each school year. Friends and teachers want to know all about the fun. What better way to recount the experience than show them with a travel journal? Travel journals are as individual as your child, but with the following tips, you can make one too.Start with the bookA good journal is big enough to allow room for drawings, writing, photos, and souvenirs. If it’s too small, nothing will fit. My family finds artist sketchbooks to be the best because the paper is heavier and a good quality to draw on. They also hold up well when souvenirs such as postcards or ticket stubs are pasted in.Educational additionsLoad a simple map of your route and paste it in the book. If you’re traveling through several states or provinces, create a section in the book for each leg of your journey. Use a brightly colored marker to plot your route and stickers to show important points along the way. You may also wish to include coloring pages of state flags and animals, along with interesting trivia about your family travel destination.A picture says a thousand wordsYou may be surprised how judicial(公正) kids become when given a disposable camera and permission to take photos of whatever is important to them. Develop the photosen route, and you have an instant quiet time activity. Avoid disappointment; take a back up photo on you camera as well.With a travel journal, the question, “What did you do this summer? ”takes on a whole new meaning. A drawing here, a quote there, and a few pictures quickly add up to a wonderful book full of memories that can be shared with friends and family for many years to come. After all, isn’t that what family vacations are for?21. The first paragraph serves as _________.A. a descriptionB. a suggestionC. an introductionD. a summary22. Why does the author’s family like artist sketchbooks the best?A. They hold many drawings.B. They are heavy and large enough.C. They can be kept as good souvenirs.D. Their paper is suitable for drawing.23. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to make a travel journal.B. Making a summer holiday fun.C. Advantages of keeping a travel journal.D. The real meaning of a family vacation.BUp until about 3 years ago, I never really questioned my identity but now I amf a r m o r e a w a r e o f i t. Sometimes I’ll say really crazy things like “I wonder what I’d look like with pale yellow hair”, and my father only smiles. I guess growing up with Western parents and living in a fairly Western society have made me feel rather “Western”. However, my mother thought that it was still important for me to stay connected to my “roots”.Our family would go on various trips to China, sightseeing and learning more about the culture. I would attend Saturday Chinese (language) school and whenever my school had a culture or an international day, my mother would encourage me to dress up in Chinese dress or bring Chinese food. The key word: encouraged. Not forced.Understanding my native culture and tradition and knowing other children just like me were obviously important ideas my mother valued when it came to bringing up her two Chinese daughters. I have never really had any identity issues; however, Ifind that now I have become less interested in maintaining a strong link to my Chinese tradition. This is because I started traveling and seeing more of the world, and grew up in a very Western lifestyle.What do I mean by this? I have started to become more aware of their customs. But do not think I did not appreciated the opportunity I had to learn about my culture;I will never truly stop being Chinese, but as I grow older, I want to declare myselfa full-and-through Australian.I am on a Chinese Adoption Facebook group and I decide to ask for some ideas on how they feel about being open to learning their native culture.24. According to the text, the writer’s roots are in _________.A. ChinaB. AustraliaC. AmericaD. France25. The writer stays connected to China by the following ways EXCEPT _______.A. traveling to ChinaB. cooking Chinese foodC. attending Chinese language schoolD. learning Chinese culture26. What can we infer about the writer and her family?A. The writer is a nice girl with beautiful golden hair.B. The writer wants to be strongly connected with Chinese tradition.C. The writer prefers the Western lifestyle to the Chinese one.D. The writer’s present parents both come from Australia.27. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. The experience the writer’s family had while traveling in China.B. The writer’s feeling about her special identity.C. The effect the Western lifestyle has on the writer.D. Others’ responses the writer received to her question.CCommon-cold SenseYou can’t beat it, but you don’t have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because it’s more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn’t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults—an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven’t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune(免疫的)to it –but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person’s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant(消毒剂) soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene won’t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方)of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you’ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.28. According to the essay, you may have a cold because ____________.A. the weather is too coldB.another person’s coughing passes the cold to youC.the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infectedD.you wash your hands too often29. Children have more colds because _________.A. they are not immune to many cold viruses yetB.they are usually infected about eight times each yearC.they never wash their hands so that their thumbnails are dirtyD.they don’t like eating lemon30. When you are having a cold, ___________.A. it is always the same kind of cold that you had last timeB.it is certainly not the same kind of cold that you had last timeC.it may be the same kind of cold that you had last timeD.it is probably not the same kind of cold that you had last time31. When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT ________.A.coughingB. having a sore throatC. having a stomachacheD. havinga runny noseDThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining andpassing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren’t speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.32. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “___________”.A. preventB. differC. benefitD. change33. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.34. The author proves his statements mainly by __________.A. listing dataB. giving explanationsC. quoting sayingsD. making examples35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughterB. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?C. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Who is a mother’s best friend?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
