Training at HomeB. Working at HomeC. Recording WorkD. Learning at HomeIn the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn’t it often the same in schools of our real world? A great many boys fall behind their female classmates.“It’s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams,” said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school’s sports club and a winner in national English and IT competitions. But why do so many girls outperform their male peers（同辈）?In Sun Yunx iao’s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is “more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read.” Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great pressure（压力）nearly every day.This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.“Let’s look at what we ask of our teenage girls,” says an American professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview.He thinks that it’s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet, and everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection（完美）.Today’s young women must be good learn ers, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they’re also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars. “Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect.” Stephen Hinshaw sums up. 44．The passage suggests that________.A. our society asks far too much of teenage girlsB. teenage girls shouldn’t be so perfect at schoolC. boys are always lazy ones rather than girlsD. American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls45．According to the passage, it is true that .A. boys are less smart than girls throughout school lifeB. boys usually don’t have so much pressure as girls doC. girls are all fond of the Chinese education systemD. girls are better at school because boys don’t wo rk hard46．The underlined word outperform means_________.A. mistakeB. misunderstandC. ignoreD. defeat47．What’s the best title for the passage_________?A. Impossibly Perfect Is Possible.B. Why Are Girls So Perfect?C. Perfect? Pressure Every Day!D. Perfect: Boys or Girls?If you want to attend the hottest events of 2014, don’t waste your time looking through dozens of hotel options（选择）or vacation packages. Instead, look to cruise ships（坐航游）that can ferry you to and from the most expected holiday, sporting, and cultural events of the year.Here’s a look at the some of the most popular:Australian Open in Melbourne (January 13–26, 2014)Tennis fans worldwide are eager for the tickets to matches at any one of the four annual Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open.

The ship departs Miami on May 24 and arrives in Rio just in time for the World Cup.New Year’s Eve in Hong Kong (December 31, 2014)Hong Kong is a magical destination（目的地）and New Year’s Eve festivities and fireworks pull out all the stops to make a holiday trip to that city even more attractive. Crystal Cruises’ all-inclusive luxury ship, Symphony, will spend two nights in Hong Kong-- and celebrate New Year’s Eve Chinese-style—during its 15-night holiday voyage that leaves Bangkok on December 21. This roundtrip voyage also calls on Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in Vietnam.48．According to the passage, which of the following ships will take the longest time of voyage?A. Silver Shadow.B. Maasdam.C.

In a textbook.C. In a science report.D. In a travel brochure.51．The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. give information about the hottest events of 2014B. introduce cruise ships to some big events of 2014C. describe the most popular tourist destinations in 2014D. persuade readers to take cruise ships for 2014 holiday“Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers(职业). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “There are no happy jobs, only happy workers.”She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics（特点）.First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest son’s pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee(难民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.52．Who is the book, Be Happy at Work, written for?A. Joanne Gordon herself.B. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron.C. People who do not feel satisfied（满意的）with their jobs.D. The workers who agree with the author’s ideas.53．Why did Tony Hawk’s son say, “I’ve never seen m y dad do work.”?A. Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work.B. Because Tony Hawk always finds something enjoyable in his job.C. Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating.D. Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating. 54．Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us __________.A. how to be a successful businessmanB. how to help people in difficultiesC. how to get along with the coolest peopleD. how to become a happy worker55．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Some people believe that only a few kinds of jobs can really make people feel happy.B. The writer of the passage tells us that many different kinds of work can be enjoyable.C. The author of Be Happy at Work thinks that happiness at work is really important.D. Joanne Gordon believes that people will probably be happy at work when they are proud of what they do.Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; _________________, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to mak e his language like other people’s. In the same way children, learning to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances（表现）with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he became dependent on the teacher.Why should we teachers waste time on such tiring work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense（荒谬的）of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated（复杂的）and rapidly changing as ours. Don’t worry! If something is basic, they will go out i nto the worldand learn it.56．What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 8 words.)___________________________________________________________________________ __57．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?Teachers s eem to think that a child can’t find out a mistake or correct it without their help.___________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ __58．Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(No more than 10 words.)___________________________________________________________________________ __59．According to the passage, what should a teacher do?

And I love ice cream and cake. And so do most kids，”she said. But，she added，“We’re not talking about a lifestyle that excludes all that.”“The question is how we help people balance their diet so that they’re not facing life-threatening，preventable illnesses，but they’re enjoying their food，they’re eating their vegetables，they’re doing their running，walking and playing，and they still have time to get a good，fun meal every once in a while.”One in three American children are overweight or obese，putting them at thehigher risk of developing diabetes(糖尿病)，high blood pressure，high cholesterol(胆固醇) and other illnesses.Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesity-related conditions.“None of us wants this future for our kids，” Mrs.Obama said at the White House.“We have to act，so let’s move.”Her campaign has four parts：helping parents make better food choices，serving healthier food in school vending machines(自动售货机) and lunch menus，making healthy food more available and affordable，and encouraging children to exercise more.The campaign，which Mrs. Obama starts，is aimed at solving the childhood obesity problem in a generation，so that children born today can reach adulthood at a healthy weight.“This isn’t like a disease where we’re still waiting for the cure to be discovered. We know the cure for this，” she said at the opening ceremony.President Barack Obama praised his wife for solving what he called one of “the most urgent health issues facing the country”．“This has enormous promise in improving the health of our children，in giving support to parents to make the kinds of healthy choices that are often very difficult，” he said.31．The best title of the passage would be “________”．A．The first lady begins to fight against childhood obesityB．The most urgent health issues facing the countryC．The Obamas care about the health of fat childrenD．The first lady can’t resist the temptations of junk food32．Why did Michelle Obama launch the campaign?A．To fight against adulthood obesity.B．To help children to eat less junk food.C．To encourage Americans to live more healthily.D．To call on people to exercise more after work.33．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A．She is addicted to buying junk food.B．She is also fond of junk food sometimes.C．Many people are able to resist junk food.D．Her immune system was not strong enough.34．What do we know about Americans?A．They all enjoy junk food. B．They don’t eat their vegetables. C．They have some time for exercise. D．Many have obesity-related illnesses. 35．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．People don’t know the cure for obesity.B．President Barack Obama supports his wife.C．The campaign has solved the problem.D．Obesity is the most urgent problem facing America.BA primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.Ashcombe Primary School in Weston-super-Mare，Somerset，has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11，who are still emotionally and socially developing.In his February newsletter(简讯)，Peter Turner，head teacher，warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.He wrote，“We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year.Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”Mr.Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.His views were supported by Ruth Rice,46，who has twins Harriet and Olivia,9，at the school.She said，“Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day，and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr.Turner.”She added，“The cards caused too much competi tion.If someone gets a card and another doesn’t then he or she will be disappointed.”However，Rajeev Takyar,40，who sells newspapers and has two children Jai,11，and Aryan,5，at the school，said he was “genuinely outraged”．He said，“There are schools that have banned conkers(康克戏) and snowballs，and now Valentine’s Day cards.”“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills.How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise？It’s ridiculous.”Alec Suttenwood，founder of the Anti-Political Correctness Group，said of the ban，“It’s totally ridiculous.Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents.It’s just a bit of harmless fun.There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”36．Valentine’s D ay cards may cause confusion among young children because ________.A．they are too young to understand what love isB．teachers haven’t taught them how to make friendsC．children shouldn’t learn about social relationshipsD．students talk too much about boyfriends and girlfriends37．The underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by “________”．A．collected B．destroyed C．taken away D．burnt away 38．Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr.Turner’s view in that ________.A．children like to compare Valentine’s Day cardsB．children should focus their mind on their lessonsC．sending holiday cards wastes both time and moneyD．making friends has a negative influence on children39．Which statement is TRUE according to the text?A．Most of English parents want children to have fun.B．Children should learn how to develop social skills.C．English schools don’t allow students to play games.D．Some parents think it unreasonable to ban the cards.40．What is the best title of the text?A．School Ba ns Valentine’s Day CardsB．Shall We Send Valentine’s Day Cards?C．Different Opinions on Valentine’s Day CardsD．Parents’ Concern About Valentine’s Day CardsCChildren are often far more gifted than what their parents or teachers can realize.IQ tests do not measure creative talents.By depending on them to measure intelligence，therefore，we miss out on the talents of many of our most gifted youngsters.Most children start life with valuable creative potential.Unfortunately，many of them have it knocked out of them，so to speak，by the time they reach the 4th grade.It is not that parents and teachers deliberately squelch(限制) creativity；or rather，they fail to recognize it.By simply observing the child at work or at play，you may detect creativity，if you look for the following key signs：*Curiosity.The child’s questioning is persistent and purposeful.He is not content with given explanations，and he would rather dig under the surface.*Flexibility.If one approach doesn’t work，the child quickly thinks of another.*Sensitivity to Problem.He is quick to see gaps in information.He is sensitive to contradictions between prior rules and what he hears or reads.*Self-feeling.He has a feeling of being somebody in particular.He is self-motivated，self-directed，and can work alone f or long periods provided it’s on his own project.*Originality.He has surprising，uncommon，interesting ideas.His drawings and stories have a style that marks them as his own.*Insight.He has easy access to realms(领域) of the mind that non-creative people visit only in their dreams.He toys with ideas that easily come to him.Qualities like these count very little in IQ tests，which measure memory，vocabulary，mathematical ability and general reasoning.These abilities are valuable，and the creative child does usually have them.However，the child with a so-called genius IQ of 180 is in reality no more likely to be a genius than the child with a slightly above-average IQ of 120.In fact，evidence suggests that some children with high IQs may develop memory and logical reasoning powers at the expense of insight，imagination，and adventurous qualities that are essential to geniuses.41．The main purpose of the passage is to tell us________.A．why IQ tests are not accurateB．to encourage creativity in childrenC．no to squelch creativity in childrenD．the difference between intelligence and talents42．The author believes that IQ tests mainly measure ________.A．creative potential B．talentsC．intelligence D．general reasoning43．The passage doesn’t clearly state but implies that ________.A．the education nowadays does not provide much space for creativity B．intelligence makes no contributions to creativityC．signs of creativity in children are hard to detectD．IQ tests are often used to measure child ren’s talents44．Which of the following best illustrates a child’s originality?A．He can tell whether a given explanation is convincing or not.B．He can find different ways to solve a problem.C．He can work on an interesting project with concentration.D．He can draw a picture or tell a story in his own style.45．According to the passage，children with high IQs ________.A．may lack the qualities essential to geniusesB．will probably turn into geniusesC．are more likely to be geniuses than those with low IQsD．also have qualities essential to geniusesDOnce there was a young woman who didn’t like her job.Everyday when she came home from work，she told her husband how terrible her day had been，how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss.“Leave that job，” her husband told her.“Oh，I will，” she said.“But not yet.I have too many friends there for me to leave.”And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children.“Leave that job，” her grandchildren told her.“Oh，I will，”she said.“But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can’t just yet.”I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on a porch of a general store，moaning and groaning in the sun.“Why is your dog acting that way？” a customer asked the store owner.“Oh，” answered the man，“He’s lying on a nail.” “Well，why doesn’t he move？”“Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”That’s true for people，too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we’re wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem，kills our passion or destroys our dreams.Wilbur Wright once commented，“We could hardly w ait to get up in the morning.I know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion，too.”They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don’t change as they sometimes will，they refuse to let environment hijack their self-esteem，passion or dreams.46．The woman complained to her husband every day because ________.A．she didn’t have enough money to support her familyB．her boss criticized her for what she had doneC．she was not satisfied with her job at allD．her work was difficult and her boss was cruel47．From the second paragraph we can know that the woman ________.A．liked making friends with others B．loved all of her children very much C．left her tiring job at last D．did exactly the same job all along 48．The author mentioned the old dog in order to tell us that ________.A．it was deeply hurt by its ownerB．the woman is like the dog on the nailC．it is tied firmly to a nail by its ownerD．it should be injured badly enough49．The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means ________.

B．Increase saving levels of people during their working years.C．Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.53．The underlined word “viable” most probably means “________”．A．impossible B．practical C．useful D．successful 54．What can be concluded from the passage?A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.D．There is no single solution to the problem of the old.55．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing th is passage?A．To point out the need for government supporting for old people.B．To make general readers aware of the problems of the retired people.C．To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.D．To instruct the retired people on how they can have a happier life.四、补全对话(10分)根据对话内容, 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
