IV阅读理解(30)
A
I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again.I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their
own life.
56.At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ________.
A.pay more attention to his study B.keep silent in the room
C.finish his homework on time D.get right answers
57.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.
A.the importance of parents B.the old form of education
C.the relationship between kids and their parents D.the good grades of some kids
58.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
A.We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B.Parents should study their kids' DNA.
C.Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
D.Parents should love and accept their kids.
59.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Study hard and you'll be successful B.Be friendly to your children
C.Children's success in their own style D.Parents' help with their children's study
B
In the past year, the number of parenting contracts — statements signed by parents agreeing to bring their child to school — has gone up by 41% to 6, 861.The number of courtissued punishment notices went up by 12% to 7,793 last year.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families said that part of the rise was due to a ban on parents taking their child out of school during term time to go on holiday. The Labour government has a target to cut truancy (逃学) by a third, but the current rate of unauthorised absence in England is a third higher than in 2001.
The government has introduced tough new permission to force parents to deal with their child's truancy. Parents can be fined, asked to sign contracts, or ordered to make their child go to school. Finally they can be sent to prison. The first parent to be put in prison was Patricia Amos, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, in 2006.Separate figures from the Ministry of Justice today show that 133 parents were put in prison between 2004 and 2011 for failing to prevent their child's truancy.
Children's Minister Delyth Morgan said, “It's important that we back schools and local authorities in using these powers to deal with problem pupils and bad behaviour. They rightly make parents take responsibility for their children. These latest figures show that schools and local authorities continue to make good use of these measures.”
David Laws, the Liberal Democrat education spokesman, said “While parents need to take responsibility for their children's behaviour and have the duty to ensure they attend school, truancy rates across the country remain sky high. What is needed is a more effective local approach involving parents, schools and the police. Extra money to cut class sizes and provide more onetoone support will enable teachers to work with individual children and make sure that they are occupied in the classroom.”
60.Parenting contracts are signed to ________.
A.remind parents to help their child with his homework
B.make parents accompany their child to school
C.keep children safe on the way to school
D.ensure children attend school
61.The worst punishment parents can be faced with is ________.
A.to be fined B.to be put into prison
C.to sign a contract D.to lose the right to raise children
62.The underlined word “back” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.adjust B.limit C.oppose D.support
63.We know from the passage that ________.
A.the government's approach has had little effect on children's truancy
B.the government should take tougher measures against parents
C.the number of parents sent to prison has reduced
D.schools and local authorities misuse the measures
C
There's nothing sadder than reading about a lost child in the newspaper or seeing the story of a child gone missing on the news. Fortunately for us as parents there is a way to avoid this type of tragedy through GPS tracking for children. Global positioning system technology can make it so that we need not worry about our
children being lost as much as we used to in the past.
GPS systems for kids are small devices that can be worn like a pager (呼机), implanted in a watch or attached to the child's clothing or backpack. It will then deliver information to you about the child's location at all times providing you with peace of mind. The GPS systems can be programmed to send information in intervals as short as 15 seconds.
You can imagine how much more relaxed you would be when you're able to log your computer at any time and know within several yards exactly where your child is. Some of the GPS kids units even have a panic button that the child can push to send an immediate alert in case of an emergency. This notification will go both to you and to the GPS tracking service so that authorities can be alerted.
For small children the GPS tracking device can be as small as a watch or pager and will run on batteries for up to 24 hours before needing to be recharged. For older children you can even place a device in their cars to monitor their driving habits and where they are driving. Personal GPS units for kids are not cheap and the smaller the device the higher the price. Can you really say that anything is too expensive when discussing the safety and wellbeing of your children? In addition to the cost of the device, you will also need to pay a fee to the GPS tracking service. In the world we live in sometimes it is difficult to be safe and these GPS kids systems can provide many parents with added peace of mind.
64.According to the passage, what can we learn about GPS systems for kids?
A.They are devices which can help children recognize the direction.
B.The bigger devices of GPS units for kids cost more.
C.They are small devices through which parents can know where the child is.
D.Children can send information through GPS systems for kids only once a day.
65.The underlined word “notification” in the third paragraph probably means “________.”
A.signal B.plan C.letter D.machine
66.According to the last paragraph, we can infer GPS systems for kids ________.
A.are very cheap for ordinary people
B.should be made smaller in size
C.need more advanced batteries
D.are good value for money
67.What is the text mainly about?
A.Kids safety problems.
B.Advantages and disadvantages of GPS systems for kids.
C.GPS systems for kids.
D.Global positioning system technology.

What killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt's most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300yearold mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications (并发症) from a broken leg.
Tut's full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt in 1 348 BC. His treasurefilled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solidgold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut's death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy (木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young king's death.
More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut's tomb. This supports the team's findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut's body that indicates he had malaria (疟疾), a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria severely weakens the immune system.
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king's fracture (骨折) to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone — not a jealous adviser — are likely the real causes of King Tut's death.
68.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ________.
A.King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history
B.King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt[来源:学科网]
C.King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers
D.King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants
69.With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ________.
A.died directly of a disease called malaria
B.died of complications from a broken leg
C.died of a simple cut in the broken leg
D.was bitten to death by deadly mosquitoes
70.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.the king had been dead for 3,300 years
B.the king was buried grandly
C.the king was born with bad immune system
D.the king's body was well kept in the tomb

VI任务型阅读(10)
For many the idea of your dream home is not buying a bigger home,but a home that you have built by yourself. A house that is unique and fit for your tastes and your lifestyle. It sounds great but where do you begin to design your dream home? Here is a quick guide that can help you make your dreams come true.
The first step is to get an idea of what type of home you want. You can get inspiration from others. Drive around to neighbourhoods that have the styles of homes you like and take pictures. You can also cut out pictures from magazines, newspapers, or print out pictures you find on the Internet.
The next step will be to make two lists of items for yourself. The first list will be those items or features that you feel your new home must have, such as granite counter tops or a hot water heater. The second list will be those items or features that are on your wish list like a fireplace or slate floors.
At this point you will probably have a good idea of what your dream home will look like, so you will need to seek some professional help. You will need to hire an architect to put your ideas down on paper. You may need to interview a few different architects to find one that you are comfortable with. Make sure whomever you choose for final drawings has a full understanding of local building codes and zoning bylaws. In any case your final plan will need to be approved by the city and a building permit must be obtained before any construction can begin.
It is time to look for a contractor(承包人). Whichever way you can do it in, be sure you are comfortable with your contractor and you have got references from his past clients. Remember the more homework you do in the beginning, the more enjoyable the process will be.
Title: Make Your __76____ Home Come True
From other people.
From ___78___ house.

VII 书面表达(满分20分)
It goes without saying that English plays an important role in our modern society. English is an international language. Wherever you go, you can hear English spoken by many people. From this point of view, it is true that English is important to our
daily life. Learning English is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. We are like the man who thinks he can learn to swim only by reading books about swimming. In fact, we learn by doing. The grammatical rules are valuable as we need some assistance. In the same way, advanced instructions about swimming are helpful as we learn something from actual experience in the water. But reading books never makes a swimmer and learning rules never makes a practical linguist. The regular procedure in learning English involves listening first, to be followed by speaking. Then comes reading, and finally the writing of the language. The way you learn English is much the same as the way you learned your own language. First of all you must listen and then repeat and repeat until you can use the language easily. In other words, you have to build up language habits in English just as you build up English habits in your own language. To sum up, we must bear in mind that nobody can learn to swim for you. Nobody can learn to play ball for you. Nobody can learn English for you. It’ up to you. You must learn for yourself and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to practice.

书面表达参考范文:
English is an international language because it has been used by most of the nations in the world. If we know English well, we can communicate with foreigners and do business with other countries. Learning English is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. We muse practice a lot.
To a Chinese, learning English well is not easy. But I managed to overcome the difficulties. The spelling and meaning of words may be the first difficulty. But I found my own way to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a word again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. As to the meaning, I often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Grammar may be another difficulty. But I’ve also got it over by spending much time reading the articles written in English.
Overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. Perseverance is an important reason why I can learn English well.
