In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (學(xué)會(huì)) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (嚴(yán)格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (說教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
小題1: Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills, ___________.
A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make the child lose interest in learning new things
小題2: In the process of children's learning new skills, parents ________.
A．should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B．should expect a lot of the children
C．should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible
小題3: The second paragraph mainly tells us that ___________.
A．parents should be strict with their children
B．parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D．it's parents' and society's duty to control the children
小題4:The word "precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "___________".
A．opinionB．punishmentC．behaviorD．instruction
小題5:In terms of moral matters, parents should _________.
A．follow the rules themselves
B．be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C．forbid their children to follow hook teachings
D．a(chǎn)lways ensure the security of their children

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:C
小題4:D
小題5:A

小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段開頭In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都會(huì)這樣做，那么這種做法在父母中就是普遍的，故選B。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句，選項(xiàng)C。sets up dangerous states of worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要求孩子做超出其自然成長速度的事情”和“熱切地觀察孩子學(xué)會(huì)每一項(xiàng)新技能”顯然不是一回事，作者對(duì)后者沒有否定之意，所以A不對(duì)。根據(jù)文章第一段末句，選項(xiàng)取D。will make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。
小題2:推理判斷題。文章第一段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child，說明在孩于成長過程中，父母不能拔苗助長。文章第一段末句又說：On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，說明對(duì)孩子太放任自流同樣不利。根據(jù)這兩方面，應(yīng)選C，父母對(duì)孩子的“嚴(yán)”與“松”之間應(yīng)有一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)亩取?br />小題3:主旨大意題。文章第二段的大意是:“父母對(duì)孩子的嚴(yán)格程度有很大的不同”。
小題4:詞義推測(cè)題．四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是：A. opinion(觀點(diǎn))；B. punishment(懲罰)；C. bebaviour(行為)；D．instruction(說教，源于instruct)。根據(jù)文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents should realize that“example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(說教)…可以推測(cè)，precept應(yīng)表達(dá)與example對(duì)立的意思，且與preach是同義詞，引語的意思是“榜樣比說教更有力”，故選項(xiàng)D為最佳選項(xiàng)。
小題5:推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第三段第四句，再根據(jù)文章最后一段，可以得出結(jié)論，關(guān)于道德教育問題，父母應(yīng)該以身作則，帶頭遵循，(參見上一小題之解析)，故選A。

While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.
But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴油機(jī)) by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.
“We encourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them,” said an official.
Efforts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions (排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed.
Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index (指數(shù)) gave just 100 days as good.
“I am glad to see an improvement,” said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in frog.”
In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off.
Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes (煙) and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.
小題1:The passage is mainly about ________?
A．a(chǎn) programme to improve Beijing’s air quality
B．progress made in Beijing’s air quality
C．Beijing’s air pollution
D．the difference between Hainan and Beijing
小題2:Which of the following is not the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijing’s air?
A．Clean fuel technology will be used in public transportation.
B．Some factories have been asked to cut production.
C．Some construction sites have been told to be closed.
D．A display show of airplanes has been called off.
小題3:We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological (生態(tài)的) city by the 2008 Olympics, ________.
A．far more still needs to be done
B．nothing else needs to be done
C．a(chǎn)ll traffic has to be closed
D．the development of the city has to be slowed down
小題4:Which is not correct according to the passage?
A．Beijing’s air quality is getting worse and worse.
B．Development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.
C．Clouds of smoke in the sky is the common feature in the winter of Beijing.
D．The government is making every effort to stop air pollution.

Learning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entrance exam.
At that time , studying English was not a pleasant experience for me . There was no fun in the process of learning . The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams . And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.
When I became a university student , I spent nearly half of my time on English . In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list “ proficiency (精通) as a main requirement.
How did I improve my English ? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course and studied like mad. After six months’ preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score . Later on , I had a chance to further my study in Britain . I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (沒用的) . When I first went shopping in a local supermarket , I really could not understand what the cashier was saying at all.
It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point . Instead of just passing exams , the main function of learning English or any other language is communication . What is more , lanuage does not exist independent of culture. Hence , mechanical memorization helps very little in communication. That’s why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years . By no means am I talented in any foreign language . I am still learing English . Why ?
First and foremost , my job requires me to use English everyday . Secondly , English helps me to have access to more information . Thirdly , as a bookworm , English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books . Last but not least , it is such a great experience to write in another language . Indeed , English has become part of my life .
小題1:How did the writer find English when he was a student?

To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to readand write. Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when theywent to England in 1902, English people couldn't understand what was said to them. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
Speaking, of course, can't go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don't listen carefully, you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it's to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.
Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, don't look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context(上下文). You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you'll never finish a book.
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the
foreign language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
小題1: In the first paragraph, the writer told us _________.
A．how to speak English well
B．how to read and write English
C．why spoken English is very important
D．why English people couldn't understand Lenin
小題2:In order to study a foreign language, the writer thinks the best way is ______.
A．to kill two birds with one stone
B．to learn two languages at a time
C．to study all the subjects in a foreign language
D．to get some knowledge of the foreign country as well as learn the language
小題3: In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ____.
A．how to imporve reading faster
B．how to guess the meaning from the context
C．how to look up new words in the dictionary
D．how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
小題4:"To kill two birds with one stone" means ____.
A．to get some particular knowledge
B．to get more than what one pays
C．the stone is too big
D．the birds are blind enough

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過錯(cuò)). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.
1. The main reason for one is poor memory is that _______.
A. his father or mother may have a poor memory
B. He does not use his name or legs for some time
C. his memory is not often used
D. he can’t read or write
2. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _______.
A. you can’t use them any more      
B. they will become stronger
C. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again.
D. they will become neither stronger nor weaker
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.
B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.
C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.
D. A good memory comes from more practice.
4. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.
A. they have save much trouble           B. they have saved much time to remember things
C. they have to use their memories all the time  D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook
5. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Don’t Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs      B. How To Have a Good Memory

So long as teachers fail to distinguish (differ) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient(有效的) system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.
小題1:The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_______. 
A．too much time is spent in teaching about reading
B．reading tasks are given with little guidance
C．it is one of the most difficult school courses
D．students spend limited hours in reading
小題2: The teaching of reading will be successful if _______. 
A．teachers can make their teaching activities observable
B．teachers can teach their students how to read
C．teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
D．teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
小題3:The word “scrutiny” (Paragraph 3) most probably means “_______”.
A．unbelief B．control C．inquiry D．observation
小題4:The main idea of the passage is that_______.
A．reading is more complicated than believable
B．reading ability is something gained rather than taught
C．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
D．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

A device that stops drivers form falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盤). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
小題1:According to the text, Driver Alert ______.
A．a(chǎn)ims to reduce tiredness-related accidents
B．has gone through testing at laboratories
C．a(chǎn)ims to prevent drivers form sleeping
D．has been on sale for 12 months
小題2:How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
A．By sounding a warning.B．By touching the wristband.
C．By checking the driving time.D．By pressing the steering wheel.
小題3:We can learn form the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ______.
A．a(chǎn)bout 400 millisecondsB．below 500 milliseconds
C．over 500 millisecondsD．a(chǎn)bout 4 minutes
小題4:     When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ______.
A．moves more regularlyB．stops working properly
C．opens the window for the driverD．sounds more frequently and loudly
