三. 阅读理解(每小题2分，满分30分)
A
I had the meanest mother in the world. When other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn’t alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean (刻薄的) mother as I did.
My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean our clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed ‘sick’ in order to miss school.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So when they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child Labour Law. She made us work. We had to wash the dishes, make the bed, and learn to cook and do all sorts of things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do.
My mother was not a failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of us have ever been arrested (taken away by the police) or divorced. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children call me ‘mean’. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

Sometimes it is hard for teenagers to talk to their parents because they don’t understand. But here are four tips that may help.
1. Find a time to talk when your parents are not doing something else, like dishes, working in the office, talking on the phone, putting other kids to bed, etc. If not, their mind will be elsewhere and they will either get angry or not give you their attention.
2. Ask to set a time to speak with your parents. ‘Dad, I want to talk to you about something. When would be a good time for us to talk?’ They will be excited that you have grown up.
3. Make plans. Let’s start with what the problems are. Put them on a piece of paper. Now deal with them by yourself. What would you do if you were the parent? Have you done anything that caused them to say no? Did you break a rule? Did you break their trust?
For example, you came home at 11.00, but you were supposed to be home at 9.00. Then, find out a way to earn that trust back.
4. Start with a statement. Calmly, open your meeting with, ‘You told me I can’t go to parties on Friday night.’ This statement explains the problem you want to talk with them! Don’t say other things.

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted, research shows. It challenges (挑战) the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision (视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted — this rate (比率) was ten times higher than the Australian children.
Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching TV and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average (平均) of two hours a day outdoors — 90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.
Professor (教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre, said, ‘Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.’
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical (化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.

C. Reading books. D. Watching TV.
( )43. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?
A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes. C. 1 hour. D. 30 minutes.
( )44. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. Why people become short-sighted.
10
B. Why natural light has a special chemical.
C. Why playing outside is good for one’s eyesight.
D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.
( )45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.
B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours can help protect your eyesight.
C. Children in Australia are more likely to become short-sighted than those in Singapore.
D. If you spend 2 or 3 hours playing outside each day, you won’t become short-sighted.

A. 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后第66-75小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空一词。
Sometimes it is difficult for teenagers to get along with their parents. And things seem to be more difficult when their parents get angry. Parents may shout at you, stop you from going out, or even punish you. Well, things shouldn’t be that bad. You should learn how to deal with your angry parents.
※ When parents get angry, it isn’t the time to talk back. A lot of times they’re not upset with you, but with their boss, the neighbour, or the price of vegetables. You just happen to be there at the wrong time. Look hurt? Get out of the way when they’re in a bad mood. They need some time and space. Go outside, to a friend’s house, or to your room. At last they will become calm and miss you.
※ If you have trouble talking to your parents, or if they get angry every time you try to start communicating with them, write a note. Put it on their bedside table. Parents are easily moved by notes like this and will probably keep them forever.
※ Do not create situations where there is a winner and a loser. You’re the child and will probably lose most of the time. Try to compromise (让步) with each other and work out a situation where both of you win.
※ Ask your parents once a day, ‘Is there anything I can do for you?’ Most of the time they will probably say no, or give you something that will take a few minutes to complete. Your parents will love this and see you as a very cooperative (可合作的) person. When this happens, they will probably be more cooperative with you. You could also surprise them by doing something they don’t make you do. They’ll

So, though I feel under stress, I live a happy life.
