People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s
Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.
These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children
and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children.
These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and
fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with
childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day
people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that
the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor their parents. It is
also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days
families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor
barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many
people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.
It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”.
Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other
stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
25. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for
parents?
A. Parents educate children to be good persons.
B. Parents bring up children.
C. Parents give love and care to children.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up.
26. Which do you think is RIGHT about “carnation”?
A. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
B. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.
C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D. It only has two kinds of colors.
27. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, _____.
A. everyone goes to visit the cemetery
B. children always go to their parents’ home
C. people usually have family parties.
D. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts
C
For a generation now, school reform has meant what students must be taught and
carried out by standardized tests.
Here's a thought experiment. Suppose that next year almost every student passed
the tests. What would the reaction be from people? Would they shake their heads in
respect and say, "Damn, those teachers must be good! "?
Of course not. Such remarkable success would be used as evidence that the tests
were too easy and it needs to raise standards. "High standards" really means "standards
that all students will never be able to meet". My little thought experiment uncovers a
truth that we have been taught to respond with doubt whenever all members of any
group are successful. In America, success doesn't count unless it is got by only a few.
Consider widespread complaints about "grade inflation (膨胀)" in higher education.
Many people don't even bother to stress that grades have risen over time. They simply
point to how many students get A's right now. The goal, in other words, isn't to do well
but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well. Grades in testing should be
used to announce who's beating whom. A school's final task, apparently, is not to help
everyone learn but to prepare the game so that there will always be losers.
This makes no sense in any situation. Perhaps, for example, we can defend rating
states or nations based on the quality of their air, health care or schools, but ranking
them is foolish. School testing ranking doesn't lead to improvements in performance but
tends to hold us back from doing our best. It makes productive teamwork less likely and
leads all concerned to focus not on meaningful improvements but on trying to beat
everyone else. Most of all, it encourages the false belief that excellence is a zero-sum
game. It would be more reasonable to rescue the spirit of the concept: Everyone may not
succeed, but at least in theory all of us could.
28.What did the writer's thought experiment prove?
A.Good teachers represent higher test scores. B.American tests are usually too easy.
C.Excellence is regarded as a rare thing. D.Students don't meet the test standards.
29.What does the writer think American schools seem to do? ______
A.Promote teachers to teach better. B.Remove the belief of beating others.
C.Help all students do well at school. D.Ensure the existence of failures.
30.What is the writer's attitude towards schools testing ranking?
A.Sympathetic. B.Ambiguous. C.Disapproving. D.Unconcerned.
31.What is the best title for the text? ______
A.Why Can't Everyone Get A's? B.How Can Students Succeed?
C.What Standards Do Schools Set? D.Who Get Best Grades at School?
D
It is easy for us to know the difference between our friends and our enemies. But
can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and
smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat(威胁) and those who do
not. In Kenya, researchers find that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men
of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear(刺)animals and thus
pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to
elephants.
In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented
with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a
Kamba man. When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man,
they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they noticed
the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at
all.
Clothing color also plays a role. In the same study, when the elephants saw red
clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men.
Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted
aggressively(攻击地) toward the red clothing.
The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional(情绪的) reactions are due to
their different senses of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means
that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential
threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and
running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive.
32. The writer wrote the passage in order to tell us that elephants are _______.
A. clever. B. friendly. C. dangerous. D. naughty.
33. Which of the following is the most dangerous sign for elephants?
A. The color of Kamba men’s clothes.
B. The smell of Kamba men’s clothes.
C. The smell of Maasai men’s clothes.
D. The red clothes not worn before.
34. What can be inferred about the elephants’ behavior from this passage?
A.Elephants have sharper sense of smell than sight.
B.Elephants learn from their experience.
C.Elephants are more intelligent than other animals.
D.Elephants tend to attack rather than escape when in danger.
35. In which magazine will the passage be found most probably?
A. Business Weekly B. Nature
C. Fashion D. News Week

范文:
In recent years, Wechat is becoming increasingly popular. Many people express
themselves, exchange ideas and deliver information by Wechat.
There are a number of reasons for Wechat to be known. To begin with, Wechat is a
relative cheap way of communication, which cuts down a great deal of the cost of
making a phone call. Furthermore, convenience also accounts for its popularity. It is
available everywhere and at any time.
However, problems exist meanwhile. Firstly, our identity can be revealed when we
use Wechat. As a result, we can be in trouble. Moreover, it may make communicating
with others face to face less. To make the matter worse, relationship could break down.
Last but not the least, our attention might be drawn too much to focus on study.
As far as I am concerned, everyone is supposed to exploit Wechat within limits. As
a student, I acknowledge that Wechat is not only beneficial but also dangerous.
Therefore, I insist that we shouldn't spend too much time on it.And it's of vital
importance for us to protect ourselves when we use it.
