第Ⅰ卷(选择题)第一部分听力(省略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AWe spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜橱) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. "Buy it," my wife said at once. "We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that."What could I do? Ten minutes later I was £20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.Af ter a time my wife said, "There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder? "In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me."Right, sir," he said. "Do you need any more help?"I was a bit puzzled. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You have been very kind. I live just on the road."He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well," he said, laughing. "It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something else. "My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again." I drove home as fast as I could.21. In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.A. would like very much to buyB. badly wantedC. was glad to have boughtD. would rather not buy22.

He was puzzled at it.BAccording to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers and parents should not say things like 'good job’ or 'nice work’ whenever a child does something. They should encourage them to continue to improve." some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "Self-confidence does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s stren gths (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."25.
