I need an outside opinion.I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly loved children—all under the age of 5—and I’m upset with some of their parenting ways.For example, they lock the doors to their children’s bedrooms at night because “ the children might get out of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them.”If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty word, all three are given hot sauce (辣酱汁) in the mouth.I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).Gram Dear Gram,Children’s bedroom doors shouldn’t be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare.Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a way only to make them grow up to hate each other.Children who use naughty words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth ---- they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the naughty word.Abby51. From the passage we can see that Abby is probably ________.   A. a famous writer      B. a columnist   C. a friend of hers      D. a government official52. Gram’s daughter _________.   A. is very strict with her children   B. does not love her three childrenC. always punishes her children at night  D. often gives her children hot sauce53. Gram writes the letter to _________.   A. speak highly of her daughter’s ways as a mom   B. interfere her daughter’s ways as a mom   C. express her ease about her daughter’s ways as a mom   D. express her worry about her daughter’s ways as a mom54. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?   A. Gram cares for her grandchildren very much.   B. Gram is against her daughter’s ways as a mom.C. Abby is for Gram’s daughter’s ways as a mom.D. Abby agrees with Gram.BBe Healthy！Be Slim!

The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as others. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to. Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present. Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men. 58. What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person? A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time. B. An unpunctual person never does anything at the right time. C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments. D. An unpunctual person has little time to do anything. 59. According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that _______. A. he has more work to do than other peopleB. he is always in a hurry when he worksC. he doesn’t care much about timeD. he always mismanages and wastes his time60. If someone isn’t punctual in keeping his appointments, he might ________.A. lose his life      B. mismanage his assetC. be thought to disrespect others  D. do harm to others61. According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there ________. A. after other guests    B. before other guestsC. at the appointed time    D. after the host getting things ready62. Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task. B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again. C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs. D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.                              第二节 简答题 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文, 根据第63---67 小题的具体要求, 简要回答问题。When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got onto the stage, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra（乐队）which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” comes to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.” Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment（设备）clean, shinny enough to pass the check? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the check. What else could they do?  Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility（责任）for something that should not have been done. For example，when a soldier leaves the army because he does something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse. 63. How many explanations does the phrase “to face the music” have? (no more than 3 words) ___________________. 64. When did Americans start to use “to face the music”? (no more than 4 words) ________________________. 65. What’s the meaning of “to face the music” in the first paragraph? (no more than 8 words) ______________________________________________________. 66. The underlined word “hostile” means _____________. (no more than 2 words) 67. When is a soldier forced to leave the army and the band doesn’t play? (no more than 8 words) ______________________________________________________.   第三部分 书面表达 (共三节，满分25分)第一节 填空题 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)阅读下面短文, 根据所读内容在文后第68--77格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过3个单词。When we think of chocolate, many of us think of candy bars, sweet, and gooey syrup （黏糖浆). But this is not how chocolate comes to us. Actually, it comes from the cacao tree that is found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, because cacao beans need to grow in a hot and humid climate. The Mayas were well familiar with the tree as a source of food and drink. The Aztecs regularly took the cacao beans and broke them into pieces in hot water, making a drink that was tasty and energy-producing for the body.   When Columbus and Cortez came to America, they sent cacao beans back to Spain by sea. However, the drink was not widely accepted at first because the taste was strange. When Columbus gave the information back to the Spanish Queen and King that one cup of chocolate from the cacao beans could put a man in condition to make a whole day’s march without the need for other food, attitudes quickly changed. The beans were recognized for their strength-giving qualities.The demand for chocolate produced by the cacao beans rose sharply, so did the cost. Soon all Europeans had fallen in love with chocolate. Because of its supply shortage and high price, only the nobles and wealthiest merchants could afford this confection (甜食). At first, too much chocolate made people sick because more than half of the cacao bean consists of fat, and the process for removing the too much fat content was unknown then. Perhaps that is how we arrived at the expression, “Too much of a good thing can be bad for you.” Places History of 70. EffectsCentral and South America The hot and humid climate is good for 71. ________ of cacao beans. 75. _____________drink that couldproduce energy for the body.68. ________ They 72.________cacao beansback to Spain by ship. Supplying a man a whole day’s march 76._ ________ of other food. 69. ________ Only the nobles and 73.________could afford this confectionbecause of 74.________ _ and highprice. 77. ________ people sick because more than half of the cacao bean consists of fat. 第二节 根据句子意思填空 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)78. 这个过去是模特的女孩现在是个著名演员。    The girl who ___ ___ _______ _______ a model is now a famous actress.79. 尽管你的书法在如此短的时间内很难提高，你还是应该坚持练习。    Though it is difficult to improve your handwriting in such a short time, you should still ________ __________.80. 天看上去好像要下雨了，别忘了带伞。    It looks _______ ________ it is going to rain.

Second, European students seldom live on a university campus. Instead, they live at home and travel to classes. Third, most European courses are given by professors. While professors in America spend less time lecturing; instead, they often ask their students questions and divide their students into discussion groups. What’s more, at most American universities, social activities take up a large part of the students’ time; but in Europe, unlike in USA, a university is mainly a place to study. Above all, European students’ final examinations are usually oral, but American students take more written final examinations. 1—5 C B A A B     6—10 C A B A B11. have fewer courses12. seldom live13. study14. final examinations 15. take more written 16—20 C A D B A       21—25 B D C D B      26—30 B C C A A 31—35 B D A A D       36—40 B B D D A      41—42 D C43.  hungry     44. with       45. mess      46. charge   47. slammed / closed / shut       48. hated        49. deserve     50. rude 51—55 B A D C A     56—60 C B B D C     61—62 C C 63.

People often miss their parents after their first leaving home. But they have to leave home for higher education or employment. You cannot live with your parents forever.

Maybe you will still miss your parents, but your new friends will bring you happiness and joy. Also you can enjoy yourself by taking an active part in different kinds of activities in school.
