She would 41 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I don’t remember when it first started 42 me---her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 43 my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!〞she made no 44 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 45 .With the passing years, my 46 returned to that night time after time. By then I 47 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 48 , sometimes far away, but always it was 49 in the back of my mind.The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once ___50___to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives 51 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself 52 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to 53 the hair from my forehead. Then a 54 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.In my memory, thousands of times, I 55 the night my young voice complained(抱怨). Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 56 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 57 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 58 long ago.That night, I fell asleep with a new 59 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was 60 to be found.41．A．lie B．bend C．look D．fall 42．A．annoying B．astonishing C．delighting D．disappointing 43．A．along B．above C．against D．aside 44．A．reply B．promise C．request D．agreement 45．A．pity B．sadness C．apology D．love 46．A．feelings B．opinions C．spirits D．thoughts 47．A．missed B．forgot C．held D．shook 48．A．strange B．close C．serious D．common 49．A．formed B．lived C．hidden D．employed 50．A．expected B．changed C．reminded D．complained 51．A．yet B．away C．alone D．long 52．A．drawn B．carried C．moved D．stayed 53．A．cut B．wash C．brush D．take 54．A．tear B．kiss C．press D．hand 55．A．returned B．remembered C．realized D．recalled 56．A．sorry B．happy C．angry D．nervous 57．A．when B．how C．why D．as 58．A．disappeared B．forgiven C．apologized D．applied 59．A．imagination B．congratulation C．decoration D．appreciation 60．A．still B．soon C．nowhere D．anyhow IV、Reading comprehension(35points)Part 1 (30 points)AWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent(青少年的) voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..〞And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week lone.〞And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.〞Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.〞And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.〞The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the languagethat helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.61. Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.62. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD. unwilling to phone for her mother63. After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they failed to get the checkC. they went to New York immediatelyD. they spoke to their boss at once64. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It helps her bear rude people.65. We can inter from the passage that Chinese English .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaBChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering,we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, "Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper〔蚱蜢〕eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying "That's interesting" or "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to "Think". It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target 〔goal〕for your disagreement.Lastly, show; don't tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass〔放大镜〕, and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates〔蒸发〕, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch thewater level drop.66. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _______.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the children's curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment67. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word "lists" could best be replaced by ______.A. any questionsB. any problemsC. questions from textbooksD. any number of questions68. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete andcreative way if adults ________.A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question69. In which of the following paragraph〔s〕does the author tell us what to say to encourage childrenin a science discussion?A. The second and third.B. The fourth and fifth.C. The fifth and sixth.D. The seventh.70. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children'scuriosity except that adults should ________.A. tell their children stories instead of reciting〔背诵〕factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesC. be patient enough when their children answer questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their ownCTo err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the p roblem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this:〞To err is human, to forgive,divine(神圣的).〞This saying mirrors an deal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity〔成熟〕.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.〞And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excus e is “good〞even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?71. According to the passage, which of following seems the most human?A. To search for truth．B. To achieve one’s idealC. To make fun of others’ mistakes．D. To critic ize others for one’s own error. 72．According to the author, what is a sign of a man’s maturity?A. Doing things his own way.B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.C. Making as few mistakes as possible．D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing. 73．Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?A．A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.B．A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.C．A company’s next move follows a good plan．D．A lawyer acts on fine judgments．74. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.75. What would be the best title for his passage?A. A Mirror of Human NatureB. To Blame or to ForgiveC. A Mark of MaturityD. Truth or ExcuseDWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask．But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be differentreasons for teaching history．Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history．The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past．I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the efforts that made these successes and failures．However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history．" Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this．A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context．We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less 〔更不必说〕try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be．I teach my children history, for one more reason．I purchased a set of historical audio 〔录音机〕tapes for our children．My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over．It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish(实现) things by himself．I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr．if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished．I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for．76．What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 ?A．Many people aren't clever enough to learn well from the past．B．Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes．C．Many people feel it hard to understand history．D．Many people have no interest in studying history．77．In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________．A．it makes the current political situation go smoothlyB．it helps us realize the importance of historical eventsC．it helps us understand why things are the way they areD．it helps people accept the present situation where they live78．Some historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show ______________．A．people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilB．people may also learn from bad historical figuresC．more celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsD．today’s people can also achieve what they achieved79．What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A．How to teach history effectively．B．Some negative reasons for studying history．C．How to get more people to study history．D．Some bad historical figures．80．The main purpose of this passage is to ____________．A．instruct the parents to teach their children historyB．show the importance of history in politicsC．explain the reasons why children study historyD．introduce the writer' s own way of teaching historyPart 2 Task based reading (5 points)阅读以下材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中，选出符合各小题要求的最正确选项。
